  • ITunes displays -48 error message when syncing iPod Nano on Windows XP

    My girlfriend's mom's iPod Nano ran out of charge while jogging so she decided to charge it on her daughter's iHome. The next day she went to use her iPod but it was totally empty of all music and files. When she tried to sync it to iTunes, she received an eror message stating, "An unknown error has occurred (-48)" from iTunes and a Windows message stating that some iPod folder/file was corrupted.
    If anyone receives such a message, I was able to correct it by:
    -Plugging in your iPod to your PC
    -Ignore the error messages
    -Go to My Computer
    -Find your iPod's drive letter (ie. G:)
    -Right-click on it and select Properties
    -Go to Tools Tab >Error-checking and select Check Now
    You should be able to sync your iPod as before. I do not claim to be an expert so be warned that it may not work for you. Good luck!

  • ITunes 7 gives error message when playing songs off ipod

    Whenever I connect my ipod to my computer and use itunes to play songs from it...it gives me the following message whenever a song plays.
    "iPod is in use and cannot be updated. The required file is in use."
    Does anyone know why this would be happening? I have my iPod set on manual update and I have already installed and run the new iPod update so I have no idea why this is happening.
    Thanks.
    PS. I have a new 5th gen. model iPod.

  • Error message when syncing to iPod in iTunes 7.4.1

    Has anyone updated to the newest iTunes, and get a strange error message when you try syncing your iPod? I upgrades to iTunes 7.4.1, and for some reason, songs that work perfectly fine in iTunes won't sync to the iPod. The message that comes up says something to the effect that that drive in the iPod can't be read from or read to.
    Any solutions?

    OK, here's how I fixed my sync problem. First, when starting up iPhoto, press and hold down the cmd & alt buttons on your keyboard and this will bring up a dialog box, select all check boxes and hit rebuild. This will take some time so have a coffee or go and do something else, then when you come back, try syncing again in iTunes and the error message should be gone!

  • I get an error message when syncing my ipad2 to itunes

    i get two error messages when trying to sync my ipad2 to itunes for windows. one is that the disk can not be found and the other is that it's an unknown error 0xE8004002.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Calendar Sync Error message when syncing my iPhone4 in iTunes

    I get the following message when syncing my iPhone4 in iTunes:  itunes could not sync calendars to the iphone because the sync server failed to sync the iphone.  Any suggestions?

    I'm having the same problem. My Nano will copy the first 275MB of songs over, but after that, I get:
    "Attempting to copy to the disk "(ipod name)" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    I've restored my nano multiple times, and updated to the latest version of iTunes (7.6.0.29). Software version on my Nano is 1.1.3.
    I'm on a Windows XP system and have had no problems until yesterday when I attempted to add more songs.

  • Error Message when syncing Ipod Touch

    Just had my computer rebuilt, I have installed Itunes 10 but I keep getting an error message when trying to sync my ipod which is "You don't have enough access priveleges for this operation". Any ideas on how I can overcome this? Thanks in advance

    You need to check your logon's access privileges in Vista. You may have to delete your current profile and recreate a new Admin profile to correct.

  • Error message when syncing mail accounts...

    I recently started getting this error message while syncing on Windows XP running Outlook 2007.....
    iTunes could not sync mail accounts to the iPhone "Nick DeGiovine's iPhone" because an error occurred remapping record identifiers.
    Any assistance in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated...!

    Mackinator,
    All of the email addresses are with servers that have presets on the iPhone, and it appears the interaction between what you are syncing, and those presets is where you are having the error.
    You may want to consider using some of those presets. For example bellsouth.net's email is now hosted by Yahoo. You can enter the settings for it in a few steps. When adding the account to the iPhone, choose the "Yahoo" presets. Put in the username as your entire @bellsouth.net email address. There will be @yahoo.com visible, but won't affect the functionality of the account, and people you send to won't see the @yahoo.com after your address. The Bellsouth account will now work, and should also get push notifications for your Bellsouth email via Yahoo.
    For your GMail account, choosing GMail will configure the outgoing server to work on most networks. The exception is networks that block the majority of ports, such as some work environments.
    This article contains more information on mail settings including the information about @bellsouth.net and Yahoo.
