Ipod touch wont sync; error (-48). ???

Tried to update my ipod last night. Downloaded new software. As I was restoring the ipod I kept getting message saying that the process was interrupted; error (-48). Then tried again with error (-54). Will not complete process.

Error 48 (or -48): Quit iTunes and discard the .ipsw file. Then, open iTunes and attempt to download again. See the steps under the heading "Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)" below for .ipsw file locations.

Hello Casey B,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try re-installing the latest version from this page on top of the current installed version and see if that helps.

If nothing else, remove the Application from your Mac entirely, and again download the latest version from the link above.

IPod touch wont sync with iTunes. Weird errors!

Anytime I try to sync anything to my iPod touch, I get one of the following error messages;
1.)Attempting to copy to the disk “Duncan’s iPod” failed. There are too many files open currently.
2.)The iPod “Duncan’s iPod cannot be synced. An internal device error occurred.
3.)iTunes could not copy “a song of mine” to the iPod “Duncan’s iPod” because an unknown error occurred [-42].
4.)The iPod “Duncan’s iPod” cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found.
5.)The app “various apps” could not be installed on the iPod “Duncan’s iPod” because an unknown error occurred (0xE8008001).
Most of the time, it's either the first or second error, but it changes pretty much every time.
I have tried restoring my iPod (that didn't work), erasing all content and settings on my iPod (that didn't work), even uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes (that didn't work, either!).
Any help, any help AT ALL would be appreciated.

by the looks of thing from what the second person said about using it on other computers it looks like it could be the version of itunes because there was a simuler problem when they brought the first itunes 10.1 out people had problems every where i have the same problem at the moment but i might have a temp fix to it till they fix this but wich is uninstalling itunes and installing an older virsion from filehippo.com hope this helps you i am going to give it a try my self

IPod Touch wont sync with itunes

So every time i try to sync my ipod touch i get this error message
Attempting to copy to the disk "iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
i recently updated to software update 2.1 and ever since then i cant sync my music
What do i do?

Your profile states Mac OS X (10.4.8) - is that correct? If so, that's most likely your problem - the iPod Touch requires at least 10.4.10.

IPod Touch / iTunes sync error -50 on iMac, due to new upgrade for iPhoto

I have an iPod Touch, software version 3.0.
I have an iMac, on Mac OS X 10.5.8.
I am on iTunes version 8.2.1.
I am on iPhoto 09 version 8.1 (415).
Ever since Apple released it's latest iPhoto upgrade about 2 weeks ago, I have not been able to sync my iPod Touch with iTunes, and instead getting a 'sync error -50'.
Apple's phone tech support did not know what the problem was and recommended me to Restore my iPod, as well as re-install iTunes. This did not help.
After much aggravation, I found a discussion group addressing the fact that it might have to do with the latest version of iPhoto. So, in iTunes I unchecked the sync iPhoto option, and now the rest of the sync's worked (iCal, Address book, music, movies, etc).
Still, I am looking for a solution, as I do not find not syncing my photos a long term solution. Can I do this on my own, or does a solution have to come in the form of a fix from Apple?
I want my photos back on the iPod, and am very thankful for any tips/help (...hello, anyone from Apple reading this?).

I don't think any of the work-arounds are really valid or deal with the problem. My Mac Pro desktop computer is 2 years old, so the problem obviously has nothing to do with a computer being new. I also don't see how it can have anything to do with iPhoto. If I get this error and "QUIT" iTunes and reboot iTunes, the iPod syncs perfectly, even though no changes were made.
I actually bought a new iPod this week because I thought my old iPod was failing (due to these repeated errors). Imagine my horror when the brand new iPod had the same problem.
Hopefully someone can figure out what going on.

My 4th gen ipod touch wont sync only check marked songs, how do i fix that?

I just got a 4th gen. ipod touch. it works fine everything is great on it but when i try to sync only check marked songs onto it from itunes it wont sync any songs at all. I thought i solved the problem when i clicked "autofill" in the music tab under "my devices" but all that did was randomly put songs on my ipod. i went to the settings and unchecked "choose items randomly" and tried again but it did the same thing. i know its not my computer cuz the same thing was happening with my old ipod. i have "sync only checked songs" marked but it just wont work. PLEASE HELP ME!!

Song and tv show purchased on ipod touch wont sync to mac itunes

The ipod touch generated a -50 and -3203 error in itunes during the sync process and now all purchases wouldn't play without a restore and items purchased and downloaded directly to the ipod touch are gone after a restore. The ipod touch can't be mounted as a disk so if the first time after a purchase or multiple purchases (like in my case) are made on the ipod and you get a sync error your purchases are gone for good with no way to make a backup! (Note; Apple iTunes doesn't allow a second downloads--Policy!) This will definitely be the last time I purchase any items from the itunes store directly on an ipod or my apple TV, and I will make it a policy of my own to make a backup copy after any future purchases. I had been hesitant for years to buy any songs from the itunes store now my fear has been realized I have bought a song I no longer have access to. Ironically it is Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy" --That is just too good! I am gonna go buy the cd at walmart this weekend instead of an itunes card.

If you contact Apple and ask nicely (i.e. don't rant at them) explain the problem, you will find that they will most likely let you download the items again.
In my experience they have allowed people to download when there have been issues (like me for example, never been refused yet).
Use the form below :
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html?form=download&topic=Downloading %20iTunes%20Store%20Purchases&subtopic=Download%20errors
Or log in to your account in iTunes, view your Purchase History and use the Report a Problem link.

My two ipod touches wont sync

i have two ipod touches that start to sync but then freeze/stop only a tiny way into "backing up". I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it but it still wont work.
is it my computer or is it my ipods? how can i fix it? help!!!!!!!!!!!

If you've updated to ITunes 10.5, I would say that is where your problem lies. I'm facing the same issue and never had a problem synching until I updated yesterday. I'm searching the forums to see if anyone's found an answer to this problem but, be assured, you're not alone!

I have downloaded the new itunes and now my ipod touch wont sync!!!!

I have recently downloaded the new itunes 10, it has let me do everything nnormal and fine but when i plug my ipod in ( the old one ) it wont let me snc anything, please Help. Thanks.

If the problem is that iTunes does not see the iPod try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Otherwise provide informat at to what happens when yuo try to sync. Errot messages?

New ipod touch wont sync and a frozen screen what do i do have restored it but nothing

I have a new ipod touch just put it on the computer for the first time and it wont sync and has a frozen screen.
i have restored it and that did not work.

Unplug your iPod from your computer and hold down the home and power buttons until the screen turns off. Then hold them again until the Apple logo shows. Eventually, your iPod should work again.
