ITunes 7.3.1 Still Broken - unknown error -54

I just downloaded iTunes 7.3.1 and am still getting:
Attempting to copy to the disk "data2" failed.
An unknown error occurred (-54).
Also when loading my ipod:
Attempting to copy to the disk "Diana's iPod" failed.
An unknown error occurred (-54).
I am getting this error when I try and load files from a hard drive (data1) to my library (on data2) and when trying to load those same files from my library to my ipod. Both data1 and data2 are internal hard drives separate from my system disk.
I was so excited when the fix was out, and so disappointed that my problem was not fixed by the release...
Help!
See my other posts from July 3, July 5, and July 6.
Thanks!

When I installed iTunes 7.3 I noticed some artwork
was gone. I compared the actual file sizes to the
backup and there was no change at all. I was able to
get the covers again from the iTS, but as I really
want to have the artwork inside the files, I tried to
paste it into the tags (like I used to do since 7.0).
That doesn't work, after pasting it, the artwork is
gone again completely, but the files are now 4mb
bigger. The artwork of these files (about 300 in
total, and I cant figure out why some and some not)
can not be browsed, but the rest of the tags is fine
and the songs play just normal.
I trashed one of the affected albums and re-added it
from the backup. Now the tags in iTunes were gone
completely! I re-entered the correct tags and let
iTunes get the artwork from the iTS. The artwork
shows, but not for all files of the album. So again I
tried to paste it into the tags of all songs, and
voila: all artwork of this album is gone again and
the files are 4mb bigger.
Same behaviour in iTunes 7.3.1.
I'm happy I have a good backup of my music, and I
think the artwork is still inside the files, but
iTunes 7.3 and 7.3.1 mess it up. From what I see only
non-iTS files are affected, but only iTS artwork is
lost. NOT nice.
Any ideas? I'm no really a friend of downgrading...
After some more time consuming tinkering I still have no luck in giving certain files their artwork back. I better go back to 7.2 tomorrow... Apple keep that lousy 7.3.1 BS yourself

  • The iTunes Library cannot be saved an unknown error has occurred (-48)

    Every few minutes, I get an error message from iTunes that says:
    "The iTunes Library cannot be saved an unknown error has occurred (-48)"
    Quitting and restarting iTunes doesn't seem to make the error go away.  All of my music and movies seem to play just fine - not sure why the error keeps popping up - any clues?
    - iTunes library is located in it's normal spot (~/user/music/iTunes/)
    - OS 10.8.2
    - iTunes 10
    - iMac 27" early 2010

    Thanks again for the gracious response UV.
    You've pointed out a problem...there are a lot of WAV files that I have like unreleased live shows of bands like the Beatles, Neil Young, Miles Davis etc that I've gotten off Bittorrent trading. When I look at the "get info" part of the song in iTunes the details that I've hand entered (dates, venue, song, musicians,etc) does show up.
    But when I go back to the actual file itself, many are simply tagged something like "track 1" and the only way I currently keep track of all this is how I organize my library ( Musician or Band folder \ Album folder \ indivual tracks). There are literally thousounds of songs that I've entered data for on these WAV files.
    Besides getting my current error problem fixed, has anyone who trades live shows come up with an easier way to organize their music. I understand that I may be in the minority with all my WAV files and that many users simply upload CDS, or mostly buy tracks online which is easier to simply grab the data back if they need from some database. I feel like I'm missing out on something big. Maybe I just need a different program for my particular application (archiving & playing music). ANy ideas from other bittorrent traders of unreleased material?
    I am learning more and more about how this all works by the minute, and have taken your advice UV about copying all my current library info and putting it somewhere safe. Hopefully this means everything I've entered up until a few days ago will be fine. Still, I have plenty music waiting for me to hear in FLAC files that need to be decoded into WAV files; but I want to wait to do this until I can be certain all my hard work entering data won't go to waste and my error problem has been fixed.
    thanks for all insights - Sonny

    I was having this issue as well, after doing two things: updating iTunes yesterday, and installing and running ClamXav, a Mac antivirus tool.
    I have now fixed the issue, first I made sure that I had the proper permissions for iTunes and it's library folders. Then I completely removed ClamXav and all its related files and restarted iTunes.  Now I no longer get this error when adding new media to iTunes or updating apps, and the library file saves fine.  For some reason I think it was related to the antivirus software.
    I think it was a coincidence as ClamXav only modifies permissions on the files it installs and none of those are anywhere near your iTunes folders, but I'm glad you got it working.

    Unknown Error containing "0xE" when restoring
    To resolve this issue, follow the steps in iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting. If you have a Windows computer with an Intel® 5 series/3400 series chipset, you may need updates for your chipset drivers. See iTunes for Windows: Issues syncing iOS devices with P55 and related Intel Chipsets for more information.

  • ITunes Library cannot be saved. Unknown Error has Occurred (-54)

    I have been having the following message appear in iTunes:
    iTunes Library cannot be saved. Unknown Error has Occurred (-54)
    I created a new library which seemed to solve the problem.... until I plugged in my iPod Classic or tried to Sync my iPhone. When this happened this warning message would come every 10 seconds or so making it a nightmare to do anything as the dock icon would bounce or iTunes would pop up. Can anyone suggest what might have caused this problem and how to resolve it.
    Thanks
    Matt

    Hi pholewinski!
    I have a couple of articles for you here that I believe will help you with this issue. The first is an article on advanced troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
    If following that article's steps doesn't take care of the issue, you can try the things listed in this article, which is about permissions issues in iTunes:

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. You can download it from here -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If that doesn't work, check out this Apple article -> iOS: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting to a Windows PC

    Hi, I keep getting an error message saying "the itunes library cannot be saved. an unknown error occurred. (-50). Any ideas on how to stop this appearing? Thanks!

    Error -50 is a very unhelpful generic communications error with a number of possible causes.  Something between the drive to which you are downloading and the drive from which it is all coming is not working correctly, which probably leaves several hundred options.

  • Tried to update my iPad  OS from iTunes. Frozen and got an "unknown error msg". I tried to restore the iPad to factory settings..got the same

    I bought today a new iPad from Rideau Store. The setup guys didn't update to latest software version. I tried to do myself trough iTunes, which notify me that an upgrade is available. After a while the upgrading process froze with a msg "unknown error ..". I clicked on the More  info  button and I got a page saying "due to a scheduled upgrade of Apple's support system some feature are not available.
    The bottom line is that now the iTunes does detect the iPad being in recovering mode and asks to restore it to fabrics defaults. I tried to do this and again I got aqn "unknown error"
    Finally I run the iTunes diagnostics to check the connectivity between my iPad and my HP laptop (iTunes). For unknown reson the iTunes does not detect my iPad. See below the diagnostics log:

  • 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?

    Try here...

  • When I start iTunes, it shows this message: An unknown error occured (-42110).

    An unknown error occured (-42110) pops up when starting iTunes.  However, everything seems to be fine.  This message pops up on my account, my husband's, my son but not my daughter.  Very irritating.  I have iTunes installed on another laptop and this does not happen.  I already uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it and still the message pops up.  How can I remove this message and what does it mean?  Thank you.
