IPod touch cannot be synced error 13019. What do I do?

I manually manage all songs and info on the ipod touch. Nothing is selected to sync automatically. I have no voice notes, there are no podcasts, only a bunch of songs I'm trying to put on my ipod. When it is plugged in, it shows up under devices in the sidebar. I click and drag the playlists/individual songs I want to add to the ipod, and they appear under the name of the device in the sidebar. I then get the 13019 error message, and even though the songs or playlists appear when the ipod is plugged in, they do not appear on the actual ipod device. I have no voice notes or podcasts that could be messing with it - deleting these and resyncing have been the solution I've seen most often. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

IPod touch cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes Library

Hi, I have just transferred my whole iTunes library from my old computer to my new one and am trying to sync my iPod to the new one. However I get an error message saying "iPod touch cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes Library (additional 5.38GB required). I currently have 8.5GB free on my iPod so I don't understand why it cannot sync.

Hey Georgiarose94, If what's going on, is what I think it is, when you sync the information it's over written, it can take 2 to 3 times more space the get the info on your iPod, once it's there the info only occupies the space it needs. Kind if of like moving, when you first step in the room with boxes of stuff there's no room. But after you get everything put away all is well. If you haven't already, connect your iPod to your computer, from your iPod Summary page, go down to Options and check reduce bit rate to (select 128 kbps). (Wording maybe a little different). Will greatly reduce memory space needed on your iPod, and you really do not hear the difference in sound quality. Other option, go to music and select manual so you can pick which music you place on the iPod. You need to reduce by 5.38GB of information to finish your download. Hope this helps. Cheers.

"Podcasts on the iPod 'iPod touch' cannot be synced ....?????

I'm getting a "Podcasts on the iPod 'iPod touch' cannot be synced because all of the podcasts selected for syncing no longer exist" pop-up when ever I sync.
Here is a post that seems to addressing the same type of error message for a failed music sync but after reading it I'm not making any sense of how it might relate to the a problem with a podcast sync: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1788041.
In a reckless attempt to fix the problem I deleted all the playlists which I created in iTunes, then deleted and resubscribed to the podcasts, and then did a sync. But the error still occurs and no podcasts were added to the iTouch (even though the newly resubscribed podcasts are in iTunes on my PC). I also found that I could download a podcast directly to the iTouch without having to subscribe to the podcast in iTunes. But I'd rather be getting the podcasts via the subscription feature that is in iTunes and then syncing them to the iTouch.
Any ideas what is going on ?
Thank you.

After reading your post several times, I think I understand what you are saying, but can we just check the precise sequence of events, for (let's say) one Podcast episode?
Are you:
1. downloading the Podcast in iTunes;
2. Syncing the iPod and therefore placing that Podcast on the Touch;
3. Listening to the Podcast and then using the delete facility _on the Touch_ to delete that Podcast from the Touch;
(3A. Adding more Podcasts (and/or music) to your iTunes Library;)
4. Performing another Sync and getting the message "Podcasts on the iPod 'iPod touch' cannot be synced because all of the podcasts selected for syncing no longer exist"?
Step 3A may or may not have occurred, it's not crucial. What is important to find out from you, are you deleting Podcasts on the Touch?
Phil
Oh, and by the way, if new Podcast are no longer being transferred to the iPod, has the setting for syncing Podcasts been changed? Look on the Podcasts pane when you connect the iPod to iTunes.

When trying to sync m iPod Touch with my iTunes it tells me that the iPod Touch cannot be synced because I do not have the privilege to make the changes.

Hello Lizzyr Lizaryd,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try reformatting the iPod using *Disk Utility*. For instructions on how to do this, see this Apple Support document.

IPod touch will not sync error message 13019 even with newest version of itunes

hello yesterday I was having trouble with syncing and the error message 13019 popped up. I was told that by updating itunes to the newest version would solve the problem. My itunes has been updated but when I try to drag any music to "iPod touch" under devices the error messege pops up again. I have an older version of the ipod touch and it asks me to update it to 4.2? I believe thats the newest version. When I try to update that it says there are things on my iPod that will be lost if I don't sync it but it doesn't allow me to sync my ipod! Thank you for any help.

IPod Touch cannot be synced because of unknown error alert (-50)

i connect my ipod touch on my lap top and i cannot sync my photos cuase an unknown error alert (-50)
but on the ipod settings shows like it sync the photos but i cannot see it
how can i fix it?

Hi,
Does the issue occur while syncing photos?
If it does try deleting the iPod photo Cache from the root of the folder photos are synced from, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
Also, make sure you have the latest software updates available for your Mac. Just click the Apple(top left corner of the scree)> Software Update..

My ipod touch cannot be synced because i do not have enough access privileges for this operation..what should i do?

I can't sync my iPod Touch because of "Unknown error (13019)".

I can't fix the problem without losing my music because I manually manage my music. I looked online how to fix it, and even called Apple, and no-one seems to know what to do because if I use the ways that I was told, I will be losing all the music on my iPod that isn't stored on my current Computer.

Hello to both. Very good question, hence the 24 hours spent finding it.
I noticed that the total number of songs in itunes, (laptop), differed to the number trying to be synched to the ipod. After trying just 1 album, which synched perfectly, I tried 2 - ok. So then 5, then 10 and at 25 albums, error 13019 appeared again. Then just working back, 1 at a time, there was an album containing a 1 song download, later upgraded to itunes plus, which was in the windows music folder twice - once the original m4p version and also the new m4a version.
I highlighted the "m4p" version, right-clicked and selected "delete". The subsequent synch worked perfectly and I've had no troubles since.
Reading the on-line pages, it seems there are probably multiple causes of this error. This was the cause in my case. Whatever, don't give up - it's probably as simple as this.
Cheers!

ITunes tells me that my iPod Touch cannot be synced because there is enough memory availble

I have a fourth generation 32GB iPod touch. At the end of the sync, it tells me that the sync cannot be finished because there is not enough memory availble. I do hav enough mmory availble. I have 2.3GB of music, 0.23GB of video, 0.06GB of photos, 7GB of apps, 0.69GB of "other", and 18.3GB of free space. What should I do?

Are you sure that you are only syncing checked items and not your entire iTunes library?
Does it say oow much more storage you need?
Try syncing less.
Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

IPod Touch "cannot be synced. The required disc cannot be found."

Yesterday, I bought 3 CD's (yep, the physical kind) and today I ripped them into iTunes on my 24" iMac (with my usual custom settings, 256kbps, stereo, 44,100 KHz, with error correction on). I had synced my iPod Touch earlier this morning. Then I went to sync my iPod Touch (2nd gen., 32GB) to get the new albums onto it (it had about 3GB of space, so shouldn't have been a problem, I thought).
However, my iPT and/or iTunes (10.3.1) started getting flaky on me. I got most of the way through syncing, but when iTunes starts transferring my Music back onto the iPT, after several tracks had been transferred to the iPT, I get a message "The iPod "[iPod's Name Here]" cannot by synced. The required disc cannot be found. When I click on the OK, iTunes shows "Finishing Sync" and then says OK to Disconnect. (?) So I try it again (several times) - some times I notice that the iPod's screen shows "Sync in Progress" even after the error message appears and I get the OK to Disconnect message after that - ? - and another time, the iPod screen (partway through syncing the music, but after syncing the apps) just goes to the charging icon with no message about syncing. I tried restarting the iPT with the 'silver' Apple logo and all - still getting errors. After some of the problems, I disconnected the USB cable from my iMac and tried unlocking the iPT's screen with my password, and then things looked sort okay - except none of the new songs show up in the Music part of my iPT.
Thinking the iPT's timing out on me, or maybe has a bad cable, I switch to a newer cable I got, but I'm still having same kinds of problems and cannot get the new albums onto the iPT. By the way, the songs play fine within iTunes, so no indication that they are garbled or such.
It's beginning to feel like my iPod Touch and/or iTunes are ptiching a fit because I didn't buy these albums from the iTMS. Verrrrrry frustrating!
Jim R.

Are you also syncing photos? If yes, try to delete the photo cache folder, explained in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
If this does not help, see this article for more suggestions: "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod

This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 will walk you through transferring music purchased from the iTunes Store off of the iPod and back to iTunes.
Music that was imported and synced to the iPod from another source, can be imported into the new iTunes library and then synced to the iPhone again.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296 provides more details about data that can be synced to and from the iPhone/iPod touch.

IPod Touch will not Sync or restore with iTunes.

I got an iPod Touch 64G on 31/12/09. Since then I've had a very difficult time syncing the iPod with iTunes. I installed iTunes on a Dell Studio 1557 i7 720, 1.60Ghz, 4G DDR3 1067 RAM, 500G HDD, Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. When I try to sync the ipod it gives me 3 errors The iPod "Tom's iPod Touch" cannot be synced.(X3) The required file cannot be found, An unkown error occurred (-48), and An unknown error occurred (-6999). I have made sure all my drivers on the computer are up to date. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. I've tired restarting the ipod. I've fully restored my ipod touch. None of these have fixed the issue. I get the same errors. Since I've had the ipod I've only been able to sync it 3 times, and the sync just started working by trying different things, like disconnecting and reconnecting the ipod, or switching to one of the other usb ports, but these little tricks only worked once. At this point the last failed sync has caused my ipod to only play one song and then stop playing, and many of the apps just crash. Syncing the ipod fixed this problem the one time it happend before, and it was very difficult to get it to sync also. Now it wont sync and I've tried reinstalling itunes agian which didn't help. So I'm looking for some help.

Okay ... there have been problems reported with that particular combination of the P55/PM55 chipsets, Windows 7 and syncing.
If your chipset drivers and BIOS are both up to date and you're still getting this, you might have some success using the workaround from the following post. (Unfortunately, not all BIOSes are configurable in this way.)
