ITunes Unknown Error -48 - no music on iPod after a restore

I did the 5 R's after having "freezing up" issue with my iPod - went in to sync iTunes with iPod after the restore step, and know I am getting this error message. I did a search and can't find a solution for -48, or even what it means. The songs will sync to about #40 or so, then it stops completely and ejects my iPod as the error message comes up. Please help - no music on my iPod.

Received no help from this board - took it back into store and they said it was a hard drive error ands replaced the iPod under my 3-year plan. Always buy that. I have needed it twice.

    In the article Resolve iOS update and restore errors this is what it says about error 14:
    Check your USB connections
    Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014, or “invalid response."
    If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
    Try a different computer.
    If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
    If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.

  • HT1657 How do I get a refund if the movie I rented cannot be played? (due to iTunes "unknown error")

    How do I get a refund if the movie I rented cannot be played?  (due to iTunes "unknown error"?)

    I'm not sure whether rentals appear on your purchase history, but try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that film and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    If it doesn't appear there (or if that process doesn't work, it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes), then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

    Just downgraded back to iTunes 10.7 and copied music from ipod classic to itunes using houdini, but how do i copy the playlists from the ipod when itunes says that my ipod has been synced to another itunes library?

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
    Sync Contacts:
    Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone

  • No music on iPod after sync

    I've been having a problem with syncing music to iPod gen4 and and iPod gen3 for some time now.  There are similar issues reported in a variety of questions on this forum:  after syncing, apparently successfully via iTunes, you disconnect the iPod and the iPod appears to have no music on it.  However, I have not been able to find any that present to me a working solution, nor have a found a discussions which shares particular details of the situation that I am experiencing.
    After a "no music on iPod after sync" experience, the iPod will no longer function properly after this, and you have to put it into disk mode in order to connect to the computer and "do a restore."    The first time this happened, I didn't know about restoring, and actually discarded the iPod (a gen 3) and replaced it with my first gen 4.  Now I have an additional gen 4 (my 2nd), plus I also purchased a used gen 3 to replace the one I threw away.   Each of these three devices has experienced the problem, and I can get the device functioning again after restore.   All the devices seem to be in good working shape and serve me fine; I do not believe that any of them has a hardware problem such as failing hard drive etc.
    The problem of "no music on iPod after sync" can be created in a repeatable fashion by choosing the appropriate set of playlists to sync.  I visited an Apple Store genius bar twice now to discuss the issue, and the conclusion was that there possibly was a "corrupt file" that was causing the problem.  However, I can also reliably sync the music by splitting it into smaller pieces.  For example, suppose I have a group of 20 playlist folders, and I choose to sync the first 10.  This can be done without problem.  If I then choose to sync the last 10 but without the first 10, this also can be done without problem.   However, if I sync all 20 together, then I get the "no music" screen on the iPod after the sync.   So I can load and play all the music files involved with my problem.  What seems to be associated with the occurrence of a "no music" event is the volume of songs that I sync.
    I am working with a large number of audio files organized into a large number of playlists arranged in a somewhat large number of playlist folders, some nested inside others.  I suspect that a cause of the problem may be the large number of files and/or playlists and/or folders.
    For instance, in my latest experience, I worked with a collection of files that I have sitting all together in one playlist folder, that itself sits inside a higher level playlist folder..  In this collection there are 4358 "songs" (the audio files aren't actually music) occupying 1.68 GB of memory. So I have one playlist folder (level 1, let's say) that contains within it a playlist (sub)folder (level 2) that has within it 36 playlist folders (level 3), each with a set of playlists inside that together account for all 4358 songs, without any repetitions of the songs between playlists. Some of the playlist folders contain as many as 206 playlists.  The playlists vary in the number of songs they contain; I think there are some with just one or two, and I now there are some with at least 32 songs.
    Anyway, with the above described collection, I can sync the first half of the set of level 3 playlist folders without problem.  I can sync the second half of the level 3 playlist folders without problem.  But if I sync all together, I have problems.
    Any ideas as to what's going on here?

    Verify you have the itunes/ipad music tab set to sync music and the correct playlists selected.

    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause this error. Contact the software manufacturer that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows:How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Happy Holidays!

  • ITunes (unknown error -54) when syncing music to iPhone 4s. Help!

    I just got a 64 GB iPhone 4s and I'm having trouble syncing my music library. A few artist into syncing and get an error message saying a certain song could not sync (unknown error -54). Then the rest of my library does not sync to my iPhone. I deleted all the songs that made it into my iPhone and I tried syncing my library again. I got the same unknown error -54 message again but it's another song that won't sync. The funny thing is that the previous song that wouldn't sync made it into my iPhone. Because of that I think it's an iTunes problem and not the file. Please help! Very frustrating!

    I stopped using iCloud and started to sync everything to my MacBook Pro. I had also done a restore just to make sure it was being ungunked. Everything works perfectly now. I'm back to using my laptop iTunes for backing up my iPhone 4S

  • ITunes unknown error (-200) (and others)

    Just switched from a iPod mini to an older 20 gig. Tried to sync it. iTunes crashed. Made me reformat the iPod. Lost all music on it. Also, no audio was playing. Told me to update iTunes. (thinking it would solve the sync issue) I did. iTunes wont open because of quote...
    "an unknown error occurred (-200)."
    So I tried updating quicktime. Didn't work. Now audio wont work for QT player either.
    I have tried past versions of iTunes and they wont load either (same error).
    So now I have 2 empty iPods, and a computer that will not play audio or let me load my iPod. (websounds and other apps still work so it isnt the speakers themselves).
    Any help on any of these things would be great. And spell it out please I'm not too keen on the procedures here.

    Also, I have not moved any files since updating. Still won't do anything.

  • Itunes unknown error 0xE800000A

    Yesterday I reformatted my hard drive and installed widows vista. I installed itunes and connected my ipod to my computer. it recognized it and started to install the 3.1 (I think the new one) ipod operating system but as I was downloading it the power cord to the computer was pulled out. now whenever I connect either of my 2 ipod touches to my computer it will give me this error message "iTunes could not connect to this iPod because an unknown error occured (0xE800000A)"
    I have uninstalled my ipod drivers and reinstalled them. I have uninstalled itunes and all it's components and reinstalled them. I have tried to use the windows installer clean up program to remove itunes and install it again. I tried restarting the ipod itself. I tried resetting the settings on the ipod. all with no luck. I have never used any 3rd party applications. I have only put music and movies on it. I have no apps.
