ITunes error when trying to Sync iPod?

Whenever I try to Sync my iPod to my iTunes, I get an error saying "Attempting to copt to the disk "Swing's iPod" failed. An Unknown error occurred (-53)" Now I thought it was my iPod, so I restored it and tried again. Nothing happened. Then I thought it was iTunes, so I uninstalled and reinstalled and updated. I still get this Error. Any ideas anyone? This is some frustrating stuff!
Thanks,
Simon

i received this error also, i am using Windows Vista, it happens when a try to sync my songs to my ipod classic. i have restored the ipod several times, i have reinstalled itunes, and i have reinstalled windows, from scratch, with no other programs on the computer, nothing worked...
thanks

  • Error when trying to sync iPod touch 32 GB 4G to iTunes with Windows 7

    I'm getting two errors when I try to sync my son's 32 GB iPod touch (4th generation) to iTunes. The device doesn't show up and the touch starts chirping consistently. Here are the two errors:
    iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000001).
    and
    iTunes could not connect to the iPhone becuase an invalid response was received from the device.
    I've updated to the latest version of iTunes. Anyone have any other ideas?

  • Itunes freezes when trying to sync ipod

    this started to happen when i had to re-install itunes because they deleted all my content. it was the old version anyways, so i installed the latest version. now, whenever i connect the ipod into my computer and itunes detects it, itunes freezes and my new content doesn't get synced. the battery sign on my ipod shows that it's connected, but itunes doesn't respond to anything i do. Only after i disconnect my ipod does itunes start working again. any suggestions?

    My 80GB ipod and itunes also freeze during sync. I tried resetting ipod, had Best Buy restore ipod, and have an extended warranty with Best Buy-they sent in my ipod and I got a replacement ipod. I have already checked my anti-virus and have scanned my computer for any problems, which none came up. So my laptop and ipod are good. Did not have any problems with ipod or itunes until I got the new update for itunes 9.2. The problem is with itunes updates, now I have an ipod with no music and cannot sync my music back into it. If they can't fix this, I will get rid of this ipod and never buy any apple products ever again.

  • Itunes freezes when trying to sync Ipod Touch

    Hi,
    I have just installed the lastest version of itunes (11.2.2.3) after having issues with installing I finally cracked it with help fromn the support forum.
    I am now trying to sync my Ipod touch and everytime i try and sync itunes locks up and have to end task in windows task manager.
    any ideas on how the fix this?? im running windows 8.1 and have had no issues syncing till instlling the new update.
    any suggestions greatly recived.
    Cheers

    Yes.
    The same thing has happened to me. After the hideous update they did a couple of months ago I didn't think they would mess things up like this again. And why, I, as a costumer have to go to all the trouble to create another account to see if the problems persist? If they weren't there in the first time, why should I struggle to fix it? It's APPLE's product and it should respond to the costumer's needs. I guess the best solution is not to install the upcoming updates.

  • ITunes freezing when trying to sync iPod...

    This problem just recently started, but I can't fix and need help! Whenever I try and sync my iPod it syncs maybe a few songs and then freezes, then if try and force quit iTunes or eject my iPod my entire computer freezes and I have to force restart my computer. It has been fine until about a couple days ago, I don't know if it's my iPod or what, I've thought about reverting it then trying to sync it again, but I don't want to do that and then not have anything on it if it doesn't sync, so that is my last resort. I've seen some other people are having the same problem but haven't seen many solutions...any help would be appreciated!

    I am also having a very simalar problem but i am glad to hear it is also happening to someone else.
    I still haven't been able to decide what the actuall reson for this problem is, for a while i thought it may have been an "intel problem" as one of my frends kindly put it, but i am now lead to belive that it is a problem with the auto sync.
    For a temporary solution i have been updating my ipod manually but even then it does frezze occasionaly.So i would be very intersted if anyone has any solutions or resons why it happens.

  • Ipod nano 6 keep getting error when trying to sync ipod with itunes. Cannot copy cos cannot be found. Latest versions installed

    I have had the ipod for some time and am not having a problem with the iphone or ipad. I have reinstalled the itunes and real time but am still getting the following message: Some of the tunes in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because they cannot be found. 100+ problems - keeps selecting different tunes.

    Hi Jullo59,
    If you are having issues with iTunes being unable to locate files, you may need to rebuild the iTunes library. The following article may be helpful:

  • ITunes freezing when trying to sync iPod Classic 160

    System stuff
    MacBook Pro OSX 10.5.8
    iTunes 10.6.1 (7)
    iPod Classic 160g
    This iPod is only music, no photos, podcasts, movies, anything else.
    I have had no issues syncing my iPod on my MacBook Pro, until the last two times, both times coinciding with iTunes updates.
    The first time i had an issue, I got error messages telling me the disk couldnt be written to, and told me to restore the disk. I did this, and after 3 times it restored and synced successfully.
    Yesterday I began to sync and it worked, but was going extremely slow. In aabout 3 hours it had added about 600 songs out of 2200. (Now I know its a big sync, but I often add a lot of music at once. It's my job.) After it got that far, iTunes froze. I force closed iTunes and that ejected the iPod. I lt it rest a few minutes, restarted my computer, and plugged in the iPod again. iTunes opened, it started syncing and then froze while determining tunes to sync. So I force quit, unplugged the iPod, opened iTunes and set to not automatically sync. Plugged the iPod back in, and restored the disk. Ive done this a dozen times, at least.
    If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it.
    Thank you in advance!!

    Get the following error when trying to sync itunes to Nano itunes could not coppy " Song"  to the ipod because unknown error occurred (-5000).  Any ideas?

    Try my script FindTracks. Select a few of the missing files to start with then run the script. Choose No at the first prompt so that you can check how it works track by track, then confirm or edit the location of the media folder where your files are. Once you are happy with how it behaves let it process larger numbers of tracks automatically.

    Try removing and then reinstalling the Apple software using these instructions.

     check if you have read & write permissions for your iTunes music (or media) folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. if permissions settings check out, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so

  • ITunes crashing when trying to sync books from iPad

    When trying to sync books from iPad to iTunes, iTunes crashes causing Microsoft error message. Any ideas?

    There may be a corrupted video or image file on your iPad.
    Try to download from the iPad using Image Capture instead and save the photos to a folder. If that succeeds, you can check the files for corruption before importing them to iPhoto.
