My ipod won't sync because of "unknown error 13019" Help!!

What does unknown error 13019 mean?

Check out this Apple article -> iTunes: Error 13019 during sync
Try disabling automatic syncing of the iPod from iTunes preferences. Also, take a look at what's syncing to the iPod when you see the error and try to uncheck that to see if the error stops. There might be a bad file in that group of content.

  • Whenever I try to sync my iPod touch, a window appears and says that my iPod wasn't synced because an unknown error has occured (13019). Help?

    Any suggestions on what I can do to fix the problem?
    I've also noticed that it started deleting some of the music on my iPod touch, and so everything on it is screwed up.
    I don't want to restore it because then I'll lose all the information on my apps. (Is there any way to recover that information along with the apps?) If I do restore it, will there be a chance that the error will occur again, otherwise I would have lost everything for nothing.
    By the way, the software version of my iPod is 3.1, it's 2nd gen., and my iTunes version is very far behind from the new version currently available. Could that be part of the problem, too?

    iTunes: Error 13019 during sync
    Not updating the iOS should not effect your problem.
    As long as all the apps are in the iTunes library, you will not lose app data by updating the iOS.

  • How can you get your music synced from iTunes to your iPod when a window pop ups on the screen saying"The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019))?

    I had 429 songs already on my iPod Touch. When I was in the process of syncing a song from my iTunes Library on to my iPod, a window popped up on the screen saying, ""The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019)). I click "Device" on my iTunes Library to make sure the song was in my iPod. It showed the song that was recently synced now listed under "Device", but when I physically looked for the song on my iPod Touch, it does not appear on there at all. It all started when I decided to put a Playlist I created in the iTunes Library and transferred it on to my iPod. Do you know why it may affected my syncing process and is there any way where I could get the syncing function back to normal so that I can continue adding songs on my iPod? Thank you for listening.    P.S. My iPod iOS version is 4.3.5.

  • FIX: Ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-48)

    Hey everybody,
    I just wanted to share with you a solution that my friend and I have used to eliminate the "iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-48)" error. I have a iPod Photo 60 gig that has not had this error before....until 3 days ago. I tried to drop a few songs onto my iPod and it gave me this error. After talking with my friend, I realized that a few things had happened that I didn't think were variables at first. For one thing, I had just updated my iTunes to version 7.4.1.2. That same day, I also had a new update to Windows XP sp2. When I restarted my computer (to complete my iTunes update), both install were now active.
    I tried to add new songs to my iPod and I kept getting this Cannot Sync error. The songs would get onto my iPod and I could play them from the iPod via iTunes. Once I disconnected my iPod and tried to play them, the songs were gone. iTunes was failing to save the songs on the iPod.
    Resolution: I connected my iPod to a 3rd party interface (to replace iTunes) and it worked. The interface is called Yamipod and this is where you get it from:
    http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/downloads/
    When I connected it to my iPod, it identified some bad file and corrected (or replaced) it with a good file. I added songs via Yamipod and they were correctly synced to my iPod. And the best part is, after I used Yamipod my iTunes was now working correctly. I told my friend at work to try this out and it worked for her too. She mentioned that she used Yamipod and then updated her version of Quicktime before everything started working.
    All I have to say is that the latest release of iTunes was probably incompatible with Windos XP and some file was corrupted. Like iTunes, Yamipod probably needed this file to sync correctly...so it just overwrote the file, compared to iTunes, which just compained about being broken.
    One more thing, Yamipod is a free tool that you can use to extrasct songs from your iPod to your computer. That is the main reason why I use it, but now I realise it's more stable than iTunes too!
    Good luck out there, it ***** to have an iPod that you can't add songs to.

    First off, have you tried these five iPod troubleshooting steps?:
    The Five Rs
    If you have, then let's move onto a few general possible troubleshooting fixes, since the solution to a -48 error on a PC is somewhat unknown or various.
    See if assigning your iPod a different drive letter helps, following the instructions from this article:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive
    Try reformatting your iPod to FAT32, through your computer. Then, we'll restore it in iTunes afterward. To do that, see these steps:
    1 - Connect your iPod to your computer.
    2 - When iTunes has finished syncing with your iPod, open "My Computer".
    3 - Right-click on your iPod, and click on "Format". (If your iPod is not showing in My Computer, make sure that disk use is enabled in iTunes).
    4 - Here, verify that your formatting settings are "Default", with the format type set for FAT32. Also, make sure that "Quick Scan" is not selected.
    5 - Then, click on "OK" to begin the formatting process.
    6 - When this is complete (it might take a while), make sure to restore your iPod in iTunes again, so as to properly reload the firmware back onto it again.
    Finally, this could be caused by digital signing issues on your computer. See the "Solution 1" section of this article for help regarding that possible cause:
    iTunes displays a -50 error when syncing iPod
    Any success with any of those things, or do you still have the error?

  • I keep getting a message when I try to sync music onto my ipod that says "iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error has occured (13019)"

    I've never ever had this problem before; it's only been the last few days. Every time I try to take music from my library and put it on my iPod, the message always comes up that says, "iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error has occured (13019). What should I do? This has never happened before!

  • The iPod "Daniel's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (-4).

    "The iPod 'Daniel's iPod' cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (-4)." is the message i get when i press the sync button. It just started happening, and now i can't get music, movies, etc. on it. It always displays that same message, and now i'm wondering is there any way to fix it?

    It sounds like you are having the same issue as I am and others. See the discussion here: Sync All Photos from Aperture: Unknown Error (-50) and here: -50 error syncing iTunes 10.4 and Lion?

  • TS3474 When i add a song from itunes to the ipod, it says "The ipod "taylors ipod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured"  13019

    When i try and add a song onto my ipd shuffle. it says " the ipod 'taylors ipod' cannot be synced. An unknown error occured." 13019.
    I've restored the ipod to its orginal settings twice and both times it hasn't let me put songs on it again.
    How do i fix it?

    Does this error message appear after hitting a particular track?  Sometime this message is the result of a corrupted/damaged file.
    Some have been able to resolve it by removing podcasts and/or rebuilding their iTunes library.

  • When I drag music onto my ipod I get: "The ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019)." Solution?

    When I drag a song/album/playlist onto my ipod I get the message "The ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019)."
    I then restored my ipod and synced it to the backup. The error came again, and I did the same. 3 times.
    After that, thinking there may be something bad on the ipod or whatever, I restored it again. This time i DIDN'T sync it to the back-up. It was retuned to factory settings.
    But, hey, here I am now, with the same problem.
    If anyone has any suggestions? Please.
    Details:
    16GB ipod touch 2nd generation
         -currently 8.8GB of music
         -currently .01GB of apps
         -currently .22GB of other
    Software Version: 4.2.1 (up to date, according to itunes)

  • Error message:  the ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-48)

    When i try to sync my ipos i get the message:
    "The iPod "my iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-48)"
    What should i do?! please help

    Hello danayy,
    The cause of this error message could be linked to a corrupt song or perhaps an corrupt iTunes or iPod file.
    Maybe start by trying this:
    1. Plug in your iPod and close iTunes.
    2. Go to "My Computer". Click on the iPod drive once. Go to File, then click Properties.
    3. Go to the Tools tab. Under "Error Checking", click Check Now.
    4. Check both boxes. One says "Automatically fix file system errors" and the other says "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors". Place a check mark next to each of these options and hit Start.
    The scan may take several minutes or more to complete, but once it has, go ahead and restart iTunes, and try re-syncing files to your iPod.
    Others have had luck with the solution provided in this Apple support document. It does say error 50 but may apply to your situation as well. It's worth a shot.

    If still no luck, it may be a good idea to [Restore|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339] the iPod via iTunes.
    Hope this helps.

    I have been getting a message saying my iPhone cannot be synced because an unknown error occurred (-50).  I have an iPhone 4, and never had this message until after I upgraded to the new OS.  Does this have something to do with icloud?

    I have the same error on both iPad & iPhone when connection is made but seems to sync when I manually sync.
