Nano Error Message

Thank you all for the post, I finally got 5.0 Fixed due to all of your efforts as well as a 2 hour phone call with Apple. Apparently we have one free call with each Ipod. However, although the software is working, I am having a problem transftering all of my songs to my Ipod Nano.
The error message says, Attempting to copy to the disk "Vinny's Nano" failed. An unknown error occurred (-69).
This is a brand new Ipod Nano, because I took back the first one when I had that error thinking it was the Ipod. The apple store gave me grief about it saying they had never heard it, but they finally gave me a new one. Then when I got home, the same error occured, then I narrowed it down to Itunes (6 days later), because I did not get this same error message on my Ipod Photo. For your information, I synch the tunes on the Nano by a Music list, as it only holds 4 GB, and on the Ipod Photo, I synch manually. Neither one is used "enable disk use".
I can get up to 3GB on the nano when I receive this error message. A tip the apple support call gave me was that maybe it was because I had some tunes as mpeg's and some as AAC, so I converted all the mpeg's and now all my songs are AAC encoded, that helped a little bit and got me past the 1GB limitation. His other suggestion was to change USB port, which I had never heard about before. That did not help.
Any help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated.

soution from another thread:
The -69 error is usually because iTunes ran across a damaged or corrupt file and can't transfer it.
If you watch the names of the songs at the top of iTunes as your iPod is syncing, the last one you see is probably the bad one. Try temporarily removing it from your library and sync again. It is possible that more than one is bad.

IPod Nano error message when syncing to iTunes to update Nike+

I am using an 8 gb iPod nano multi touch with Nike+ and when I connect it to iTunes to update Nike+ to sync my runs it continuously says "The Nike+ website is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." This has been occuring since Nike updated their website. I have updated iTunes and still the error messages occurs. Anyone else have this issue if so is there a solution?

I too cannot sync my iPod. I get the message "Unknown Error 13019." What the heck does this mean? Can anyone assist or provide guidance?

IPod Nano Error Message (-48)

I've just got my NEW iPod Nano (Red 4GB) out of the box and when I connected it to iTunes I keep getting the Error Message "Unable to update iPod Bob Error Message (-48)."
Despite the (-48) Error Message the iPod does seemingly update Songs/Photos etc.
I have got a 60GB Video iPod and a new Black iPod Nano (8GB) and have no problems with either of them.
Does anyone know what Error (-48) is????
Thank you in advance!
Bob

I have just got back from the Regent Street Apple Store - the trip took 5 hours (I live way outside of London) and cost £35 in fares (thanks Apple!)
I met with a guy from the iPod Genius Bar - and there is indeed a "problem" with Error (-48) which Apple are fully aware of. I took my iPod Nano (4GB Red) which DOES have this problem and my iPod Nano (8GB Black) which does not PLUS my iBook so the guys at Apple could see for themselves the problem I am having.
It seems they are aware of the problem - but could offer NO solution at this time and Apple are definaitely working it! They took data dumps of my iTunes / Mac Configuration etc. and details of both Black and Red iPods (serial numbers etc.)
They were very helpful - and advised me to keep the Red 4GB and sit tight until the Update/Patch to solve the problem is available from Apple.
I was one of MANY turning up at the Genius Bar that day with the SAME problem!
So - there are no quick / sure solutions to this one - I guess we have to wait for Apple to release the fix.

Nano error message - "Disk cannot be read from or written to"

I've tried automatic & manual updating of my nano w/o success. IWhen I first connected to iTunes I was asked if I wanted iTunes to select songs for my Nano. I clicked "yes" and got a load of random songs from my iTunes library. Now, whenever I try to follow the instructions to delete songs or change the playlist, I get an error message "The iPod...cannot be updated. The disk could not be read to or written from". How can I get rid of the songs and get a new playlist on it? Following the instructions re manual or automatic updating gets that error message!

Thanks also. I'll have to look at the link you posted to see what the ipod updater is (technophobe), and will try the other poster's tip about the scanner. Thanks again.
> You need to restore the ipod with the ipod updater.
That's the only way to resolve this error.

Nano error message when trying to Sync

I have a new 2 G Nano, and tried to Sync to my Itunes library.
I downloaded the latest version of Itunes and restarted my computer before plugging it in for the first time. Im running Windows XP Pro. An error message comes up.
"Unable to sync. Required Disc not found."
So now I have a few hundred $ of music and audio books in my Itunes library that I cant sync to my Ipod. Not happy. And of course I cant get a refund from Itunes..
Any ideas what I can do?
Thanks
Jane

Check to see if there is a drive/network conflict. With the exception of your iPod (plugged into a rear port on your computer), keyboard and mouse, disconnect ALL other USB devices including phones, cameras, printers, scanners, external hard drives, flash memory drivers, blenders, lights, etc. Also disconnect from any networks.
Now read this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499
and change the drive letter of your iPod to something much higher, like M or P or Z. Also

IPod Nano error message

Error message: The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CD's and DVD's are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software (NOTE: I HAVE NOT INSTALLED ANY OTHER CD BURNING SOFTWARE). Please reinstall iTunes.
I need specific instructions re: how to reinstall iTunes.
Dell Dimension 8300 Windows XP

with that one, let's first try a "reboot and repair".
Reboot the PC (very important), and then do a repair install of iTunes. in your Add/Remove Programs Control Panel, select iTunes, click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if no joy with the reboot and repair, check for a device filter conflict in your Registry. see:

IPod Nano: Error Message "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it"

Hi everyone, I just received 2 brand new iPod Nanos for my kids for Christmas, thought I'd be smart and sync them both now before wrapping them so I don't have to be messing around with them on the day. One synced without a problem, then using the same cable, same computer, same USB port, the 2nd one came up with "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it" I've tried restarting my computer, unplugging and reinserting the USB. Is there anthing else I can try before returning it? Thanking you for any help.

I have solved my problem, I ended up ringing Apple and got an awesome lady who told me to reset it by pressing the sleep button and menu button together for about 10 seconds and once it actually turned on for the first time the computer then recognised it, so it's all good, :-) Thank you lovely lady!

TS3218 iPod nano: Error message saying that iPod 'could not be identified properly'

If I remove itunes and reinstall it will I lose all of my purchased downloads

I spend several hours removing and reinstalling iTunes, resetting my iPod etc. This worked for me.
1- Open Control Panel
2- Go to Add/Remove Programs
3- Remove Apple Software Updates
4- Remove Apple Mobile Devices
5- Remove iTunes
6 - Re-install iTunes
I found that a few days earlier there was an update on Apple Software Updates and Apple Mobile Device which may have caused some sort of conflict. After I re-installed iTunes all of the above programs were re-installed, my music was there and everything worked fine.

Error message 1415 with black screen on my Nano, error message 1415 with black screen on my Nano

Anyone know how to fix this issue?

If you had a Kernel Panic when you navigated to /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports you would have seen a folder for KP's. You didn't see one therefore no KP which means something else is going on.
If you want to do an erase and install it's not very difficult however before you do make sure you have a viable backup. My recommendation is either a Time Machine backup or even better create a bootable clone using Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner. IMHO it's wise to have redundant backups in the event one fails. Personally I use TM and SD on two separate external HD's.
To answer your question yes you can erase and install from teh orginal OS X Install DVD that came with your computer. If your machine orignally shipped with 10.5.x (Leopard) that is definetley the correct DVD to use. How you do is fairly simple:
With the DVD in the SuperDrive re-boot, when you hear the startup tone hold down the Option key and choose the DVD.
Choose the language then select the Utilities menu and open Disk Utility. In DU select the HD on the left then select the Erase tab, make sure the Format says "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then click Erase. This will totally wipe everything off your HD!!!!
Next exit Disk Utility and continue with the Install and as mentioned in my first post use the Setup Assistant guide to help you install and restore your data from the backup.
Assuming you don't have a hardware issue your system should work OK. If you still have a black screen you probably have a hardware issue and should take the machine to an Apple Store or AASP to have it professionally diagnosed.
