Ipod nano (model A1320 / 5th generation) an unknown error occured (13019).

Hello
     I have an ipod nano (model A1320), when I try to download songs that I have recently bought form my itunes account, a window pop-up will appear and say   " ipod will not sync because an unknown error occured (13019)." the songs will only appear on my itunes on my ipod when it is connected but they will not appear on the ipod itself when disconnected. so we had our friend come over to help us with the problem, after a few min. we downloaded itunes10 but the same problem occured, then I deleted the playlist holding the songs and I tried to download the playlist agian and another pop-up will say something about duplicate songs. on top of it all. I could not be able to take songs and ect. out of my ipod and into my itunes account.
     Can you please help me out with this problem of mine?
     Thankyou.

I am getting the same error message. Have you figured it out?

Nano cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019)

Touch and nano cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019).

Ive fixed this issue before. The steps are kinda long but they work.
This is for windows computers with iPod nano that get the error 13019 during or after a sync with iTunes.
-Open itunes
--click, edit, click preferences
--select advanced
---make a note of the iTunes media folder location on a notepad.
---put a check in organize files
---take the check out of copy files
---click ok
--Click file, at the top of iTunes
--move mouse over library, select organize, and consolidate files. ( This ensures all music in you iTunes will be in the iTunes media folder later.)
At this point, if you have playlists you want to save:
-Create a folder on your desktop, call it, playlists
--Hover you mouse over your playlist in iTunes, should be at the bottom of the blue/grey column on the left.
--right click the playlist, select export playlist
--Navigate to your desktop and open the playlist folder and save.
---Do this for each playlist you want to save
-Close itunes
-Click your start button, and open computer or my computer
--Using what you wrote down on your note pad, follow the path to the "iTunes folder", NOT the iTunes media folder
--Open the iTunes folder.
--Stop here
-You will see icons that look like folders and you will see icons that look like files-
-You will KEEP the FOLDERS
-You will DELETE the FILES
--If it makes you more comfortable you can cut the files out and paste on your desktop, but as of now we do not need the files any longer as we have the playlists backed up. Remember-Keep the folders.
--That was the magic--
-Disconnect your iPod if connected.
-When you open your iTunes, it will be empty, that is OK. We are recreating the library. Everything will come back in a few seconds.
-Click file at the top
--Select, add FOLDER to library, not to be confused with add file.
--In the window that pops up, locate and click on computer or my computer
--From here follow the path to the iTunes media folder on your note pad, but do not open the iTunes media folder.
--Click the iTunes music/media folder one time so it highlights.
--On the bottom right you will have option to select folder, or choose folder or OK. Hit that button.
All your music will start to import back into iTunes.
-Plug in iPod after completed
--a message pops up about being synced with a different library.
--Click erase and sync
--Watch all your songs go on your iPod with no error message.
From here you may sync your iPod the way you want with out worrying about the persnickety error 13019!!!!!
Hope this helps!!!
Julian
p.s. Follow the directions exactly.
p.s.s. To add your playlists back to itunes:
-Click file at the top of the screen
--move your mouse over library, selece import playlist
--on the new screen that pops up, navigate to your desktop
--open the playlist folder, select the first playlist, hit ok
--repeat for each playlist exported

Ipod Nano 4th or 5th generation won't recognize Itunes and shows loading constantly when I am on Nike plus

My Ipod Nano all of a sudden won't show up on my Imac computer nor will it show up in Itunes. I use it for running and I use the Nike + software, at the same time the recognition problem occurred when I click on the Nike + on my Ipod Nano it shows the circle and says "Loading".
Also when I plug it in to the computer it says Connected do not unplug unless you eject, however there is no icon on my Imac to eject.
Even when I reboot the Ipod Nano, the same thing happens...the Nike + just says loading and it doesn't get recognized by my Imac.
Help what do I do????? I have tried rebooting several times, as well as using another mac and no luck. I even sent an email to Apple but so far no answer. Any clue how to fix this?
I think it has something to do with the Nike+ application, but don't know what to do.
Thanks!

How can I have Hebrew titles song in iPod nano (4th and 5th generation) ?

The tech specs say Hebrew is supported

The ID3 tags have to be in Unicode, however, otherwise you will probably just see junk latin.

HT1351 I have tried numerous times to resolve an issue with my wife's iPod (5th gen#. When I connect to iTunes I get a pop up error message that goes like this - The iPod "Linda's iOod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured #13019)...What do I do?

I have had very much trouble adding music to my wife's iPod. Every time I connect to iTunes, I get an error message that reads ...The iPod "Linda's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019)...I have tried diagnostics, help and what ever iTunes has to offer and cannot fix the issue. I want to add a new playlist with new music. When I connect her iPod, the playlist shows up on her device. When I disconnect, I can not find it in order to play it. Help me.

Some other posts seem to indicate that the cause is related to voice memos. You may want to try the remedy described in this document

although it says it's for the 6th gen iPod nano.

I keep getting an error message that says "the ipod cannot not be synced""an unknown error occured (13019).

I keep getting an error message that says "the ipod cannot not be synced""an unknown error occured (13019). I am trying to put albums on to my ipod by dragging and dropping. I have it set to manually manage music and videos. The albums appear in the music section under Devices, but they don't appear on my actual ipod.
I have never had any problems doing this before, only in the last few days.

I am having the exact same issue as you are with my iPod nano. This started happening the same day after I updated the iPod software, so I wonder if it is a bug within the software that Apple needs to resolve. I dragged 3 playlists of new music from my iTunes over to my iPod and sometime while it was trying to add those songs, the error 13019 popped up. Another note, which may not be related at all, was that iTunes told me at some point during this process (I believe before the error notification, but I'm not sure and that may be helpful to know) that I did not have enough room on the iPod to copy all of the songs, but it would copy as many as it could. What is curious, like in your situation, is now all the songs it supposedly copied appear to be on the iPod under the Device->iPod->Music label in iTunes when it is plugged into my computer, the playlists in question are also showing up there, and it does indeed say my memory is full under the iPod's general tab in iTunes. However, when going through my actual iPod when it is not plugged in, none of those songs or playlists are anywhere to be found.
Anyways, all the established solutions to the 13019 error do not apply to this situation, as my iPod has always been set to manually managed so "unchecking" the Sync Music option under the Music tab of the iPod and rechecking it will not work because it was never checked in the first place. And voice memos are obviously not applicable since we are not talking about an iPhone failing to sync music.
Unless anyone can provide a new solution here, I may just have to take my computer and iPod up to the genius bar. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

When I drag music onto my ipod I get: "The ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019)." Solution?

When I drag a song/album/playlist onto my ipod I get the message "The ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019)."
I then restored my ipod and synced it to the backup. The error came again, and I did the same. 3 times.
After that, thinking there may be something bad on the ipod or whatever, I restored it again. This time i DIDN'T sync it to the back-up. It was retuned to factory settings.
But, hey, here I am now, with the same problem.
If anyone has any suggestions? Please.
Details:
16GB ipod touch 2nd generation
     -currently 8.8GB of music
     -currently .01GB of apps
     -currently .22GB of other
Software Version: 4.2.1 (up to date, according to itunes)
Set to "manually manage music and videos"
iTunes 10.5.3 (current version)

Type "13019" into the search bar at the top of this page by "Support" and read the resulting help articles.

"The iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1436)."

My 3rd gen. iPod Nano was down because I accidentally disconnected the iPod from the PC without using the "removing the hardware safely" function.
So, I reset the Nano then replug the it to the PC. When I was trying to restore the Nano as the iTunes required, it says *"The iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1436)."*
So, I also re-format my Nano and also reinstall the iTunes to the latest 7.7 version. Also restarted my PC several times. But the same message still appears when I tried to restore the Nano.
Could anyone please help me get out of this problem?!?! I want my iPod fixed so bad. Thanks~

I'm in the same boat. Tonight, i disconnected my ipod nano from the pc without ejecting it. And Now my Ipod screen just has the connected symbol on the screen all the time. I can't turn it off or access any of my music!
I've also re-installed iTunes, but it didn't make any difference. iTunes doesn't recognise my Ipod when it's connected to the computer.
I've only had it 2 days! God i don't know what to do! I think i'll have to pay for online support or repair. I hope it's not too expensive!
Sorry i can't help you. But i just needed to vent to someone. I'll keep you posted if i manage to get my ipod working again!

HT201210 Have not updated OS in iPod touch. Have OS 2.2.1. Get error message "Joe's iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occured [-1].

Have not updated OS in iPod touch. Currently have OS 2.2.1. When trying to update to iOS 4.2, I get an error message "Joe's iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occured [-1]." Please help...

That often indicates a hardware problem with the iPod, but it can also be caused by security software blocking access to the update. Try this article and see if that helps:
Troubleshooting security software issues
If not, then your iPod may be defective and will need replacement. Apple still offers replacement pricing for old iPods, but it might be more cost-effective to put the money toward a new iPod touch. You'd pay a minimum of $99 US for a replacement, but you can get a refurbished 8GB 2010 model for $149 US.

How can you get your music synced from iTunes to your iPod when a window pop ups on the screen saying"The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019))?

I had 429 songs already on my iPod Touch. When I was in the process of syncing a song from my iTunes Library on to my iPod, a window popped up on the screen saying, ""The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019)). I click "Device" on my iTunes Library to make sure the song was in my iPod. It showed the song that was recently synced now listed under "Device", but when I physically looked for the song on my iPod Touch, it does not appear on there at all. It all started when I decided to put a Playlist I created in the iTunes Library and transferred it on to my iPod. Do you know why it may affected my syncing process and is there any way where I could get the syncing function back to normal so that I can continue adding songs on my iPod? Thank you for listening. P.S. My iPod iOS version is 4.3.5.

Hi , I am trying to update iPod that has iOS 2.2.1 to iOS 4.2 but I am getting the following error message, "the iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occured (-1)." I would appreciate if anyone could let me know what the problem is and if it is possible how to fix it? Thanks

Error -1
Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
