My iPod Classic won't sync--I keep getting error messages.
I have an iPod Classic (Late 2009) that's about a year and a half old. It just started refusing to sync with iTunes. I have a PC, and when I plug the iPod in, the computer wants to scan and fix the iPod. Whether I let it or not--I've done it both ways, multiple times--when I open iTunes, iTunes says I need to restore my iPod. It restores without glitching. But when I try to re-sync my library, I get 200-400 songs in and get an error message that a specific song can't be synced because of "error [numerical error]." I've seen "Error -50" a lot, but not always. It doesn't always get stuck on the same song, artist, or album--just somewhere in the B's, something goes wrong. At the beginning, I was seeing a "duplicate file" error message, but I haven't seen it the last 5-7 times I've gone through the restore-resync process.
I've tried manually managing the content, but the same thing happens. If it doesn't get stuck on a song, it'll say "Finishing Sync" for ages--until I have to force-quit iTunes and manually eject the iPod.
I have reinstalled iTunes--not 100%, but using their "find and replace faulty parts" option. I have an iPhone, and it syncs with no problem, and I my iTunes library itself is functioning totally normally. However, iTunes freezes a lot when I'm trying to fix this problem with my iPod, including when I first plug it in. I've had to force-quit iTunes multiple times because of this.
This all started because my iPod was skipping from about 10 seconds into one song to the next in the playlist. I figured something was wonky with the last sync, so I went to restore my iPod. When I plugged it in, I noticed that there was a software update, so I did that--I can't remember if I restored, then did the update, or the other way around. But nothing has worked since then.
It must be a problem with the iPod itself that the restore just isn't erasing, but I'm not sure where that leaves me. Help?
This could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

Web galleries won't upload. Keep getting error message Help!H
Hi
I am on deadline and need to upload my images on a web page. This has never been a problem and I upload web pages weekly. Today I the images upload then it stops half way while building the web page and I get "An error occurred sending the file : an unknown error occurred". Does anyone know if there is a server issue going on or why this is happening? I am uploading about 140 images but have easily uploaded over 200 in the past for a page.
I have LR 3 and am on a Mac 10.6.8
Help.... today is the only day I have to upload these before I am gone all week.
Thanks for your help.
JulienA good work-around is to Export to your hard drive (instead of Upload) and then use an FTP client like FileZilla to upload the files to your server.
FileZilla is quick to download and very easy to use:

160gb ipod classic won't sync since update to 11.2.2, system wants to wipeout all current info on device
same has happened to me, on and off, for the last 6 months. Its an issue with the Mavericks system and ipod classics. works great for a while - then one day for no reason - erases the entire iPod. some days the copmputer will not recognize the iPod and you have to start over. Apple will tell you that "you" may have a disc problem in the device. that is all the help I have received.

My iPod Classic won't sync with iTunes on my PC. An error message is received stating that there is not enough memory available to sync, but I have 101 GB free on the iPod. I'm using iTunes Version 10.6.3.25 on a PC with the Vista operating system.The iPod operating system is 2.0.1 PC.
It sounds like your PC may be too low on memory (RAM) or Hard Drive in for the iPod to sync properly with iTunes. Try rebooting your PC to see if that helps. Then run only iTunes and try to resync your iPod.

I bought an iPod Shuffle today and trying to sync 1 audiobook. Keep getting error message. If I try again, it looks like it's ok but then the device won't play it... What can I do?
I managed to add it, but it will only play the audiobook if there's no music on it. Every time I sync music, it won't play the audiobook...

I am trying to re-install Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard on my Widows 7 Professional computer after I had to replace the hard drive. I keep getting error message and I get "Exit Code 15: Media DB Sync failed". I have run C Cleaner with same results. Have Disabled UAC and Startup items and Services with no success. Please help - frustrated to no end. Can someone help me?
make sure you're using the adobe cleaner, not crap cleaner, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
copy the installation files to a desktop folder and install from there. -
I cannot install Creative Suite 5.5 on my Windows 7 Professional. I keep getting error message: "Exit Code: 15 - Media DB sync failed". I have disabled UAC and Startup items and Services with no luck. Can you please help?
I am sorry Erickkasner but there is no longer direct support provided for Creative Suite 5.5 installation issues.
You are welcome to post any specific errors you are able to discover within your installation log to this discussion. Since you are using Windows then Exit Code 15 could mean one of the following:
Installer database is corrupted
Update pending to your operating system
Improper permissions set for the Media.db
The installation log file should provide additional insight into the exact error you are experiencing. Please make sure to use the find command to look for the words 'ERROR' and 'FATAL' to locate the relevant error messages. -

I recently bought some new albums and can't play them on my ipodI just encountered the same problem on my 2 month old MBPro. I found a work around by changing USB ports. As for the actual cause or the reason why that worked, I dont know. The USB port I was using works fine with my phone or other USB devices.

Hi hannijin,
What version of the Mac OS X do you have on your computer? The version of iTunes that you can install is dependent on the operating system that you have. For example, the current version of iTunes requires OS X version 10.7.5 or later.

Keep getting Error Message (-39) Cant synce Photo's to i-Phone
Keep getting Error Message (-39) Cant synce Photo's to i-Phone.
I've tried restarting my computer, powering down my i-Phone & shutting down i-Tunes but nothing works.
Plus i cant email photo's from my i-Phone either.Can you do a manual back up by right clicking on the iPhone in the left pane and selecting backup?
Also, have you tried restarting your iPhone? If not, hold down your sleep and home button until the screen shuts off then let go of the buttons. Wait a few seconds and then press the sleep button to turn the iPhone back on. Try to sync now.
