No music after 3.0 upg.: cannot be synced an unknown error occurred (-208)

Upgraded my iPhone 3G to 3.0. All went smoothly and everything seems to be working fine. Only issue was that my music had disappeared. Went on to resync it but iTunes shows that the music is still there - but I cannot do anything with it: cannot add to it, cannot delete it, etc. Suspect files are fine but library is corrupt. Was hoping that adding or deleting a song would force a library reindexing but no luck.
"the iphone "name" cannot be synced an unknown error occurred (-208)"
Any suggestion on how to resolve this (outside of a device reset...)?
Thanks in advance.

The software can be found on Download.com, it's Ipod Copy 7.47. It's $20, but works perfectly.

    Can someone here help me.

    I have a similar problem. After having a lot of drama with backups freezing and not completing I had to click on the 'x' to procede with any sync's. Now that 3.0.1 came out I decided to update when the popup came up saying would you like to update.
    I went ahead, it downloaded the update then it couldn't install it and came up with errors. then my iPhone displayed the USB cable and the iTunes logo on the screen, now it won't do anything and iTunes won't recognise it.
    I've tried to reset it, and reset my computer but nothing works. I am not uninstalling iTunes and re-installing it to see if that works. I now have lost everything on my iPhone I presume.
    I am furious.

  • The Ipod "Name's Ipod" cannot be Synced. Unknown Error occured (-48).

    This is the error message I have been getting for the past two weeks while trying to add music to my Ipod. I have tried repairing itunes, installing updates as they come, even reinstalling itunes and doing system restores. It seems nothing is working. Friends have suggested using different USB slots, restarting the computer while Ipod is still connected and again nothing is working. So anyone know what to do?

    I am getting an error message of I/O operation error, when trying to sync my iPod. I have been having this problem since July when I updated to iTunes 7.7. After contacting Apple on numerous occasions, including driving over 50 miles one way to an Apple store to have some dead-behind-the-eyes kid tell me that he doesn't know why it won't work, I am still having difficulties syncing.
    I have contacted Windows, since it was their error message, and was told that an I/O message is in regards to the outside device that I am trying to sync, which eliminates my PC from this equation. I am also able to successfully sync my old 4GB mini and my wife's nano without any issue. I believe that my Classic is not giving my PC the correct driver that it requires to connect and sync.
    I have been going on almost 2 months without my iPod (what a waste of money!!!!)Please...somebody help, because it's pretty apparent that Apple could care less!!!!!

    The error message I get on my PC is "The ITunes library file cannot be saved" An unknown error occurred (-50)and my music library has disappeared.  I recently tried to copy a CD to my library - it appeared to copy ok but then did not appear in my music library.  The library does not show up even when my iPad is connected to my PC.  My entire library is now held on my iPad and I wish to have it in iTunes so I can sync my iPhone to it as well.  Help?

    Don't know what changed today but it downloaded and installed on the shuffle. So far so good.

  • I keep getting an error message that says "the ipod cannot not be synced""an unknown error occured (13019).

    I keep getting an error message that says "the ipod cannot not be synced""an unknown error occured (13019). I am trying to put albums on to my ipod by dragging and dropping. I have it set to manually manage music and videos. The albums appear in the music section under Devices, but they don't appear on my actual ipod.
    I have never had any problems doing this before, only in the last few days.

    I am having the exact same issue as you are with my iPod nano. This started happening the same day after I updated the iPod software, so I wonder if it is a bug within the software that Apple needs to resolve. I dragged 3 playlists of new music from my iTunes over to my iPod and sometime while it was trying to add those songs, the error 13019 popped up. Another note, which may not be related at all, was that iTunes told me at some point during this process (I believe before the error notification, but I'm not sure and that may be helpful to know) that I did not have enough room on the iPod to copy all of the songs, but it would copy as many as it could. What is curious, like in your situation, is now all the songs it supposedly copied appear to be on the iPod under the Device->iPod->Music label in iTunes when it is plugged into my computer, the playlists in question are also showing up there, and it does indeed say my memory is full under the iPod's general tab in iTunes. However, when going through my actual iPod when it is not plugged in, none of those songs or playlists are anywhere to be found.
    Anyways, all the established solutions to the 13019 error do not apply to this situation, as my iPod has always been set to manually managed so "unchecking" the Sync Music option under the Music tab of the iPod and rechecking it will not work because it was never checked in the first place.  And voice memos are obviously not applicable since we are not talking about an iPhone failing to sync music.
    Unless anyone can provide a new solution here, I may just have to take my computer and iPod up to the genius bar. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
