ITunes error message when syncing iPhone 5 w/MacBook Pro

I have been syncing my iPhone 5 (32GB) with my MacBook Pro for 2.5 years and still had about 2-3GB empty (I know, should allow more free space).  Suddenly, having added nothing except maybe a couple new events in Calendar, I'm getting an iTunes message when I try to sync saying that it cannot sync as there isn't enough memory -- with a note in parentheses that an additional 13+GB are needed).  I thought I'd seen this addressed here before, but in searching for an answer, I wasn't able to pull anything up.
I have shut down my computer and rebooted several times, but doesn't change anything.  Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm having the same problem, except I used to have 12 GB of music on my iPhone that is now gone, and the same disc space now says "Other", but there is no music on the iPod. I've tried the 5 R's, is it a glitch? I didn't have this problem until I updated yesterday. Everytime I sync, it tells me there is not enough space to download the music. What is the "Other" category? I can't find any info on it at all. Also, I am NOT a computer guru, I'm a nurse, so be gentle!

  • Error message when syncing iPhone to iTunes

    I've tried three times now to sync my iPhone with iTunes. The software is the most updated version, but each time I get an error message: "The iPhone cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-50)." Too vague for me to figure anything out. Is this a problem on my end or is iTunes experiencing a temporary glich?

  • Error Message When Syncing iPhone -Contacts

    I have been using my iPhone for some time now and just recently I have had this issue with my new 16GB phone.
    When I put it in to sync I get the following error message: itunes could not sync contacts to the iPhone because the iPhone is disconnected.
    The phone is not disconnected and I have not made any changes to my contact information. I tried making a change just to see what would happen, but it made no difference. I am syncing to my iMac.
    Has anyone else had this issue? How did you resolve it?
    Thanks for your help!

    I had a sync problem with my Iphone and my Asus maximus extrem mainboard.
    Description: The Iphone started to sync but unable to sync music : error message "device exipred"
    I did not yet find the answer but only a workaroud as it is probably a firware bug either on Iphone or Asus.
    Change de usb port speed in 1 insted of usb 2.0 in the BIOS of your motherboard for the sync time.
    Hope this will help other to make it work.

    J'ai eu un gros problème de syncronisation avec l'Iphone et ma carte mère dernière génération Asus maximus Extreme.
    Descrtiption: L'inphone commence la sycnronisation puis au moment de synchroniser la musique, ça fige et j'ai un
    message d'erreur " le périphérique à expiré"
    Je n'ai pas trouvé la solution à ce problème qui est soit un souci de firmware Iphone ou un souci de firmware Asus.
    J'ai trouvé un Workaroud pour synchroniser l'iphone , il faut passer la vitesse de l'usb en 1 à la place de usb2
    dans le bios le temps de la synchro.
    en espérant que ça sera utile à d'autres

  • Error message when syncing iPhone 5

    "iPhone cannot be synced an unknown error occurred (-50)".
    Worked fine last week.  This has never happened before.
    Any notion?
    Thanks!

    On iTunes un-select sync photos and then apply.  Next click on sync.  That should allow a sync to occur.  Now go back and try to do a sync with photos selected.  Appy first then Sync.

  • I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error.

    I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error. (-50). my icloud drive was stuck in an upgrade cycle, but i've stopped that and still get the error message.

    I restarted itunes and tried again (based on a similar question/solution from 2012).
    I don't get the error message anymore, but it's really sort of odd that after step one of sync, it looks as if sync stopped, and then all of a sudden you see step 4 of sync.
    Also before the upgrade I had 7+ gigs of space free and after the upgrade I have 10 gigs free. seems like something is amiss, but it's not like I have anyway of determining that.

  • 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!

    I get the same error (although in Dutch ;-)).

    I now get it for a week, eacht time I connect my iPhone to itunes...
