TS3218 Syncing my 6th generation Ipod Classic 160gb, I get messages saying itunes could not copy songs to the ipod; (code -50) the reason. What must I do to correct this error, please?

Syncing my 6th generation Ipod Classic, I get loads of the same message, "Itunes could not copy songs into ipod due to error -50". The syncing then completes with only 15gb used space and 143 gb space free.
What can I do to correct this error, please?

My 6th generation Ipod Classic will not eject, works fine otherwise and properly goes thru sync cycle. A message shows files are in use and device can't be ejected. If I close my internet browser it will eject properly every time.

I have a new HP Pavilion running Windows 7 with lots of memory and a terabyte of storage, using iTunes 11 with a 6th generation Ipod Classic. Have used my current iPod for years with no problem until today; when I try to eject the device iTunes stops responding, there is a delay of about 10-15 seconds until a message box pops up: "the ipod cannot be ejected as there are files in use." It also won't eject from the windows taskbar, same type of message appears. iTunes remains unresponsive until I click "ok" on the message box. I've reset the ipod twice and disabled the "enable disk use" button for the ipod -- with no change in symptom.
I am not certain as to the fix but am 100% sure that the problem does not occur if I close my open browser; it occurs only when I have an Internet browser open. I experimented with Google Chrome that I normally use, and also with Internet Explorer -- when either browser is being used the ipod cannot be ejected.
I've used iTunes 11 for about 3-4 weeks and this problem had not occurred until today.

I have had similar issues with mine, happens mainly if I transfer songs and then decide to disconnect my iPod to listen to them with my IEMs (I use Interenet Explorer in my case and it is not neccessarely up when this happens, so I seriously doubt it is an issue conencted to the web browser). I have no patience for this so my trick is I try to eject it from iTunes, if that does not work, then I bring Windows explorer up, right mouse click on the iPod mounted drive and select Eject. It gives me the same warning but there is a third button selection called Continue. When I choose that it just disconnets the drive anyway and the iPod is finally disconnected. It seems to work each and every time I do it so this solution is fine for me. Would be intersting to see what the real root cause of this is because I started getting this problem with the newer iTunes 11.

I have a new ipod classic and i can't get any of my music to download to my ipod this is the second ipod classic they sent me and i have the same problem i think this product is a piece of **** and i want back my $300.00.

I can't download any music from my cd's or my computer manually this is the second ipod classic apple sent to me and i have the same problem i am thinking about asking apple for my $319.00 back i am fedup.

Winston,
If you provide a little more detail about whats happening when you try add music to your iPod instead of ranting about how much your iPod *****, somebody here may be able to offer you some much need assistance.
Totally up to you though.

I can't sync the Not Afraid music video that I purchased this morning to my iPod Classic. It's frustrating because I have no issues syncing other videos and the rest of the album that this video came with synced just fine. Please help!

You can only sync with one iTunes library. If you sync with another one the iPod will be erased and its contents replaced with what is in the library of the second computer.
However, you can manage music among multiple computers. See:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
BTW you posted in the iPod touch forum

Anyone had this problem? With iPod Classic?

Don't normally do this, but I'm posting this in two places, iPod Classic and GarageBand because I think both of those audiences might have encountered this.
1) Let's say I have +Song A+, recorded in GarageBand, with a tenor sax already in iTunes;
2) I decide to add a flute. Do so in GarageBand;
3) I keep the title of the song the same: +Song A+;
4) I go to iTunes and delete +Song A+ (which just has the tenor sax);
5) Back to GarageBand, and send +Song A+, with flute added, to iTunes;
6) It's there. Plays +Song A+ with both sax and flute;
7) Hook up the iPod Classic, it syncs but ...
8) It plays version one of +Song A+, just the tenor sax, no flute;
9) Why? This is the way I've always done it, with no problems.
10) The only way I could get the new version of +Song A+ onto the iPod was to rename it: +Song B+. Then it was there. But that shouldn't have been necessary, at least from my past experience
Is something not right with my iPod Classic?

i'm not sure what criteria iTunes uses to detect changes, but the name would be one, perhaps creation date (and other things?). only "changed" songs are synced (otherwise the entire library would be x-ferred every time you sync)
10) The only way I could get the new version of +Song A+ onto the iPod was to rename it: +Song B+.
i would try adding 1 step: delete the song from iTunes, sync, then add the new version to iTunes and sync.

IPod Classic case - 7th Gen

I can't find anything! It seems manufacturers stopped making cases with Gen 6. I'm looking for something acrylic or that provides good protection. I'm using the same case from my 160gb classic gen 6, a Power Support Crystal jacket - http://www.powersupportusa.com/accessories/ipod-classic.html. I love the case but the new iPod is loose in the case and they didn't come out with a new one. Any ideas? Thanks.

I bought this hard case for my iPod. I like it but you are right, there isn't a lot of choice out there!

I have tried suggestions found on this website from other Ipod Classic users without success. I cannot get my Ipod Classic to sync any more - have tried on 3 computers with different OS's. Apple have tested Ipod and its lead and pronounced it OK.

This is the third time of writing this on your Apple Support Communities! My Ipod Classic will not sync. I have had it checked over at an Apple Genius Bar and also its lead - they say it is OK. I have had my computer checked at the place that built it for me (Windows 7 desktop when I found Windows 8 childish and irritating). After collecting it, I again had the Ipod symbol back on my library page, which was a step forward. However, the Ipod still won't sync.
I have tried other USB ports. I have tried removing Itunes from computer and downloading it again - with the latest version of course. I have tried authorising my computer. I have tried resetting the Ipod. I have tried ringing the Apple helpline at vast expense - the first assistant was helpful and went through a number of procedures before suggesting I removed and replaced Itunes and then rang back after doing this. I was given a reference number to quote so that I wouldn't need to go through the whole rigmarole again with another assistant. But, unfortunately, I got an extremely offensive young man who more or less called me a liar when I quoted the job number I had been given. He flatly refused to accept that I had already spent ages on the phone that afternoon and said that my last call to Apple, to which the reference number referred, had been in November 2011. When I asked to speak to a manager, he put the phone down for ages and left me paying for minutes, just waiting. I put the phone down eventually and rang back, got this person again, and again asked to speak to a manager, whereupon the phone was put down on me. Needless to say, I am not keen to try this phone service again in a hurry. But I do desperately want to be able to download my Economist in audio podcasts, which I have been without for a whole month now. Please can someone knowledgeable take pity and help me? By the way, what does IOS mean? (I thought IO stood for operating system, but am flummoxed by the S on the end. I have a newly built computer using Windows 7, the latest updated version.

Not with your current user id.
Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
Let's start with iTunes.
Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

Really?
OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

IPod Classic 160gb (7th Gen) making odd noises through internal speaker

I bought an iPod Classic off a friend, and within a day or so of syncing it to my iTunes it started to make this strange "chirp" noise through the internal speaker. It is the same noise the iPod makes if you boot into Diagnostic Mode. It was making this noise randomly when browsing songs or scrolling through the main menu.
I had a warranty through the store it was purchased at so I exchanged it for a new one. After syncing it with iTunes again it made the same noise through the internal speaker. I turned the "Clicker" sound off in settings to see if that would eliminate the noise, and it did, until I synced the iPod a few minutes later and it made the noise once, again.
I've seen other posts on the web with people having this issue, but no solutions. Anybody have any ideas? Or is it just something I have to live with, or keep exchaging iPods?

It seems to be making this noise whenever it has to load information. If I scroll through the cover flow really quickly and get to a section of albums that haven't had their art loaded, it makes the noises as it loads the art.
Seems like any time the iPod has to find and display information from the hard drive that it doesn't have cached it makes the noise. Is this normal or should I be seeking another replacement? I don't want a bad hard drive on my hands.

I have a 6th generation ipod classic and i cant restore to factory settings because of erro 1139

Please help i cant restore my ipod classic 6th generation to factory settings because of error 1139

Did you follow the instructions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4367
Pay attention to differences in power connection depending on whether or not you have AppleTV2 or AppleTV 3.
Also some microUSB leads don't seem to work - try another if you can. Disconnect superfluous USB device/hubs too if possible.

What is error (-1030) Keep getting this on my 80gb Ipod Classic

My Ipod Classic gets this Error (-1030) come up pretty much everytime I add music to my Ipod, I want to sort it out finally! PLEASE!

I am hazarding a guess that that's a pretty far stretch.
Airplay looks like it is only for iTunes and special speakers. http://www.apple.com/itunes/airplay/ The only way an iOS device is involved is if it is used as a remote. For that the current app version needs iOS 4.3 or later.

HT3798 Ipod Classic 160 7th Generation - I don't see any settings in the menu. I want to shuffle songs.

I just purchased I IPOD Classic 160 gig 7th generation and when I look at my menu, I have no settings listed. I want to set it to shuffle mode within a genre. Do I need to have this connected to the itunes software for this to show up?
Best Regards

You need iOS 5 to have iCloud and that requires a 3G or 4G iPod.. You have a 2G iPod and that can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
iCloud: What if my device or computer doesn't meet iCloud system requirements?

6th Gen. iPod Classic has video or not?

I have a 6th Generation iPod Classic and I got it because I thought it has video capability, but when I try to download a video podcast, I get an error message telling me that 30 of the podcasts were "not copied because the video format is not supported by the iPod". The wierd part is that eight of the videos actually downloaded onto my iPod. I know for a fact that there is plenty of space for 2 hours of video on my iPod. What am I doing wrong or is there something I am not aware of?

Some podcasts are encoded so that they are more compatible with newer iOS Devices rather than the older iPod lineup including the iPod Classic.
If possible, try highlighting the podcasts and choosing Advanced -> Create iPod or iPhone version in iTunes. Then try syncing the newly converted podcasts over to your iPod.
