ITunes error messages while syncing after 0SX 10.6.6 update

After installing the recent OSX 10.6.6 update, I am receiving the following error messages in iTunes when trying to sync both my iPhone 4 and my 1st generation Apple TV:
iPhone error message:
"The iPhone cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
Apple TV error message:
"iTunes cannot sync photos to the Apple TV because of a problem on your computer. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I'm not sure if this matters - but in the iPhone error message - it does not state if the "disk" is the iPhone or the computer - but in the Apple TV error message it does make this distinction, saying that the problem is on my computer and specifically mentions photos.
Now, once I dismiss either of the error messages, the sync progresses normally and completes successfully. Also, I have checked my computer (MacPro) and all diagnostics (including the internal hard drives) pass with flying colors. And the computer is working fine otherwise - so I have no reason to believe that there is a hardware problem with the computer. And I would find it very strange that I would have a hardware problem with both my iPhone and Apple TV appearing at the exact same time. And finally, both the iPhone and Apple TV are performing normally when in use.
Since this problem did not start until after running the 10.6.6 update - logic tells me that is where the problem probably lies.... the question is how to resolve it - anyone have any ideas?

Both those symptoms are consistent with a damaged photo cache. If you remove your existing photo cache as per the instructions in the following document, does that get you past the error?

  • ITunes error message while trying to purchase music

    When I try to login or purchase music from itunes, I keep getting an error message saying: iTunes could not connect to the music store. A secure network connection could not be established. Check that your computer's date and time are correct and try again.
    However, my computer is connected to the internet and this only started occurring after i downloaded the most recent update for itunes. Since then I've uninstalled it and tried installing it again but the error message occurs every time anyway. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

  • Itunes error message - 42408 even after latest download...thank you

    I've been getting a message saying Itunes cannot be accessed - so just updated to Itunes 11.1.3 but still getting error message -42408. Any thoughts?
    Thank you and Happy New Year

    Hey there davidgor2!
    I have found an article that should help you resolve this issue with updating your iTunes. The article can be found here:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
    and the specific part of the article you will want to look at first is right here:
    "Error 42023" through "Error 42408"
    These alerts might occur when trying to authorize iTunes or during launch when iTunes checks for authorization information.
    Install the latest iTunes from apple.com/itunes/download/
    Remove the SC Info folder.
    If that does not resolve the issue, see iTunes: "Error 42408" or "Error 42404" after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Regards,

  • ITunes error message while installing 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/classes/

    SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!
    I am trying to install the newest version of iTunes (7.2.0.35) and I keep getting an error message halfway through the install that says...
    "Could not open key:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE/Software/classes/.pls/OpenWithList. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key or contact support." It then begins rolling back the action and it never installs iTunes. I have administrative access and I can't even access that key manually from the registry. Some help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Yeah, i already tried that one too. I sat for a good 5-6 hours doing every related discussion post solution, even things that didnt seem like they would work, and i get the same error. Any other suggestions besides pages that i could find on my own? Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks for responding in the first place.

  • TS3694 white screen continues to stay on after reset and after pressing and hold BOTH buttons (top left and mid bottom front screen bottom button)...in restoring on itunes error message "2009" shows after trying to connect to itunes...any help?

    error message "2009"  and white screen reset fail...what to do??????????...please dont tell me about pressing the 2 bottons at the same time....did that n it DID NOT work in my case.

    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.

  • 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 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.

    While making a backup copy in Itunes of my Iphone I receive the following error message: While making a backup copy of this iPhone (-35) an error has occurred.  Do you want to continue with altering this Iphone? When you continue al the material on this Iphone will be lost.
    I reinstalled iTunes but that dit not help. After synching iTunes with my iPhone it also asks to authorize my pc and when i Click on ok, it says it is already authorized.
    Please can somebody help me, so I can make backup.
    Greetz,

    It's likely that your backup is corrupt. Try deleting the backup, then right click on the name of the phone in iTunes and choose "back up". To delete go to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab. Highlight and delete the most recent backup. Note that sometimes deleting this way leaves some garbage around that can still interfere with a new backup, so you should verify that the backup folder is empty.
    from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system.   Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac:  ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7:  \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

  • 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!

    Hey ermides,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource provides information if you are receiving a -50 error message when syncing:
