IPod Touch won't sync to iTunes. Keeps popping up with unknown error.

Just recently this has started happening. I try to sync my iPod to my iTunes, and it'll sync halfway and then an error message will pop up and say, "The .. ipod can't be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019)." My iTunes and my iPod are all up to date, and I've tried turning off my iPod and resetting my iTunes but I still get the error message. What gives? How can I fix this?

  • Ipod touch won't sync to itunes with OS X 10.6.3 I just installed

    I just installed OS X 10.6.3 (snow leopard) and now my ipod touch is not syncing to itunes. Any ideas why?

    Is your problem that you do not see your iPod in iTunes? If that is the case try these:

    Also, make sure you update to the latest iTunes and Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard is now up to 10.6.5 and you said you only have 10.6.3.

  • IPod touch won't sync, Other Data keeps increasing

    iTunes version 12.0.1.26
    iPod iOS 8.1.2
    I received a new 64GB iPod touch this Christmas. I've had several issues with it, but they were mostly just irritating and not actually stopping me from using the iPod (can't make new playlists on iPod itself, for instance). However, I've now had to restore the iPod twice in 2 days after the Other Data grew to over 26GB and I couldn't edit my music or podcasts at all. As near as I can tell, after the initial sync to iTunes any changes to the music on the iPod result in new Other Data. It's like the iPod is deleting my access to the music but not deleting/overwriting the actual files. So each time the iPod tries to sync to the computer and update any changes, it just adds on to the existing files and quickly runs out of space. Each time I try the various tricks I've found online that are supposed to force iTunes to recalculate data usage, it just increases Other Data. Even just changing from automatic to manual syncing causes it to double the "used" space. I can't add anything new to the iPod, it just stays greyed out and stuck on either step 4 or 5 of the sync, saying it's waiting for the changes to take effect.
    Right now I'm trying another restore and hoping to get everything added on before it can decide it's out of space (data bar shows 9.44GB free, with all music, audiobooks, and podcasts accounted for), and I already have over 700MB of Other Data.

    If you only restored from backup try restoring to factory settings/new iPod.
    If a PC try:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
      Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • My ipod won't sync and it keeps coming up with an error message saying "internal error" or it tries to get me to restore from a backup. All of my music and movies have been wiped from my ipod and the apps don't work. The backups don't work either. help.

    I plugged my ipod touch into my computer to sync it and it came up with an error message saying that it encoutered an internal error and it refused to sync.
    I then unplugged it and plugged it back in and this time it told me that I needed to restore from a backup or set it up as a new ipod. I tried to restore from a backup but it came up with the error message "Backup session failed" every time. I then looked on my ipod and all of my music and movies are gone though it still says that they are on the ipod in itunes. I decided to use the restore function and let that finish. After restoring it still doesn't allow me to sync or back up and The music and movies can still not be seen. I am currently attempting to copy the music and movies to my ipod though this did not work with my apps as they transfered but when I attempted to open them they just crash... If someone could please help me it would be great. It is driving me crazy.

    If you get an error that says can't backup, try moving the existing backup file to a safe location and thry again. again. You can find the location of the backup file here:

  • HT1386 4th gen iPod touch won't sync to iTunes

    I connected it to add recently downloaded songs to my iPod. Itunes said it couldn't recognize the device and that I had to restore it, so I did. It wiped everything clean, but now it won't sync my music or photos onto it. I press "sync" and iTunes says it is going through the process, but nothing changes on the iPod. Both iTunes and the iPod are up to date, I have tried multiple USB cords. I don't know what else to do.

  • Ipod Touch Won't Sync To Itunes

    Here's my story. Please let me know if you can help.
    I purchased a 4th generation Ipod Touch, I plugged it into my computer and It said I needed the version 10.5. or later, so I went and purchased the new version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3.
    I installed it, and I updated my itunes, and my internet browser I updated safari, it told me I had to restart my computer once it was finished, so once it finished I pressed restart. While that was downloading I had my Ipod plugged into my computer and it was working in itunes, I was putting music onto it. But once safari finished It restarted my computer, then once it turned back on my internet wouldnt work, I have been having troubles with my internet in my room, not sure why because my wireless internet is just in the other room. But it is working now, but I don't know how long it will work. Anyways, so I clicked on itunes and plugged my ipod back in and nothing happens. It doesn't come up in itunes at all. I am not sure why this is happeneing because It just worked, before I re started my computer. Is there a way to fix this? Someone please write me back! HELP ME PLEASE!

    I am having the same problem, My iPod has worked with iTunes for ages, now all of a sudden iTunes wont recognise that there is a device plugged in. My iPod comes up with a "charging" sign, so it's not the USB connection, i have tried restarting my computer and iPod and i have even re-installed iTunes and it still isnt working. Any ideas?

  • I am unable to restore my iPad. iTunes keeps coming up with "unknown error (3004)" I have updated my Windows, tried searching for apple updates, but keep being told "cannot connect to apple server" HELP PLEASE

    The whole problem started when I was syncing my iPad to update it. iTunes for some reason, put it into recovery mode. I have done all the hints and tips for the error code, checked my internet connection & tried to restore on another computer, but it required an update of iTunes and would not connect to Apple server either.

    Here is the work around:
    When and if you get the same error it will prompt you to select one of three choices:
    You have to select the LAST choice ---either Cancel (if you do this you will keep going around in circles), Restore to YOUR settings (which is really a trick question), or Restore to Factory (sorry I can't recall exact language)
    Then in itunes select your ipad under "Devices" if it doesn't automatically...(YOU CAN SKIP TO #5)
    There will be 3 Boxes in the "Summary" screen for you to choose from:
    VERSION: DO NOT SELECT RESTORE, BACK.. I selected "Back up to this computer", OPTIONS: click on which ever box you desire (I did #1 & #2). Then I selected "CONFIGURE UNIVERSAL ACCESS" and hit "OK".
    In the bottom right hand corner you will see two choices, select "SYNC" and your ipad & computer should start the syncing process which could last a LONG time depending on how much data you have backed up.
    Sorry if this doesn't work for you but it's working so far for me! Good luck...and Apple please don't do this again! So very confusing!

  • Certain Songs Purchased on iPod Touch will not sync to iTunes.

    A couple of songs that I purchased on my iPod Touch won't sync/show up on my computer. The others made it. I have no idea how to sync them to iTunes since they aren't automatically showing up. What should I do?

    Could it be a ratings issue?
    Do you have ratings restrictions set on your computer?
    Are the songs that do not transfer marked "explicit"?

  • I had my ipod touch and iphone synced to itunes on my computer that just bit the dust...If I don't replace the computer, can I still add stuff to these two devices?

    I had my ipod touch and iphone synced to itunes on my PC and basically managed my photos and music, etc. from there.  However recently my computer died and I am considering replacing it with an ipad eventually.  Can I still add stuff onto my two devices?  And if so, am I limited to apple store purchases only?  Can I retain all the photos and non-apple store downloaded music that is presently on these two devices?  Any guidance in this area will be very welcome!

  • Music Plays on iPod Touch won't update to iTunes 10.5

    number of music plays on ipod touch won't update to itunes 10.5

    Unfortunately, I do not have a solution to this problem; however, I am experiencing the same thing. However, my iPod Touch is new. It will not play any of the DRM-protected content that I purchased previously; however, it will allow me to purchase content with my Apple account, so it is certainly "authorized," as it were. I guess I will try to reset it, but I doubt it will work.
