Problem  Synchronizing New Ipod Touch

Just bought 8GB Ipod Touch, which replaces an 80GB Ipod. When synchronizing the new Ipod Touch, only about one-third of the songs synchronize, and I get an error message saying "Attempting to copy to the disk Ipod Touch failed. An unknown error occurred (-69)". Any help is appreciated.

Thank for taking the time to reply Katrina,
The files are in AAC (m4a) format and were moved with Windows Explorer. All files were moved at the same time.
The OS is Windows XP. I don't think it's a permissions problem as all the files were copied at the same time and were playable before moving. I didn't make it clear on my first post that the greyed out fields are only on the "faulty" tracks, the data is not missing or greyed out on the "good" tracks.
Folder and directory attributes are identical on the faulty and good tracks, hence my thinking that database indexing is the issue, rather than the music database itself - I may well be wrong - this is where my knowledge runs out, hence the cry for help!
Any ideas or suggestions you may have would be appreciated.

  • Problems with new ipod touch gen3

    Hi,
    I just got a new ipod touch and i have problems connecting it with my WRT54GX ver 2 wirelles router. It shows that is connected but when i check the IP it has the default 169.254.202.45  one which means that the AP did not assign an IP. I tried with static IP and although in the log it shows outgoing communication from that IP the ipod does not connect to the internet.
    A PC and a blackberry are working fine with this AP and the ipod has worked fine in my house (RUKOUS AP) and in two cofeeshops.
    Anyone else having a similar problem?
    Thanks
    John

    thanks for the suggestion but it did not work.
    The iPod came up asking for the password (WEP key) and i entered it. It showed connected with the router but Safari does not work and when i check the DHCP entries in see the following
    IP: 169.254.202.45
    Sub: 255.255.0.0
    This means that the connection was made but the router DHCP server did not assign an IP address to the iPod.
    This exact problem i have encoutered so far in my office, a cofeeshop and a car dealership. In all cases the wirelles was based on an older linksys router and except in the case of my office the other two were unsecured networks.
    I believe it has something to do with the firmware on those linksys routers causing a problem specificaly to iPods and i would guess iPhones too since they have the same OS.
    I'm open to any suggestions but i've tried all the ones posted in this and other forums so far with no luck.
    When i assign a static IP, the iPod again connects, the router log indicates outgoing traffic from that IP but there is no incomming traffic.

  • Two main problems with new iPod Touch

    I received my new iPod Touch 32Gb last week and I've been trying and testing for some days. It's really a nice device, but I've found two big problems with it...
    1.- WiFi connections are extremely unreliable. On my home router it connects and gets the right IP from DHCP but then it gets stuck and can't transfer data. Safari seems to work sometimes, YouTube and maps are almost impossible to use, and other apps works only sometimes.
    I've tryed also on my office WiFi network and it's a little better. But when connection is not used for a minute it gets stucked againg. Then I need to go to settings, switch WiFi off and on again, then works again for some time.
    I've spend days searching on the Internet for a solution and I've found that lots of people has the same problem. It seems iPods have serious problems connecting to some routers and blame the router about this.
    My opinion is that the problem is with the iPod. My router works flawlessly with my two laptop computers, my desktop computer, my PSP, and my HTC PDA. No problems at all. So, where's the problem?
    2.- There's a big problem on iTunes with sync settings. I've noticed that users can select to to transfer the data manually or synch. Then on each tab for media you have individual options. For example I can choose to sync music and photos, but not sync videos and Podcasts.
    The problem is that this don't work at all. I've selected to sync music but not videos but when sync all my videos had been deleted from my iPod.
    I don't see the point on placing independent sync option on iTunes if they don't work at all.

    Sounds like a faulty battery to me. Might need to contact Apple about that.
    As far as the volume, I'm pretty sure, as I just responded to another post, the problem is the software. Any ios version 4.0 and higher, the volume is lower than iPod Touch/iPhones with 3.1.3 and lower. My volume has been lower ever since I upgraded to 4.0 and 4.2, and I've found a lot of other people online complaining about the same thing. I've seen a couple posts where some have said Apple lowered the volume on purpose. I think we just need to complain to them and hope they release an updated ios with the volume raised back to where it was.

  • Problem with new IPod Touch - connecting to computer

    Just bought an IPod touch 2nd generation and plugged it into my computer to charge and to set up. I got a "found new hardware-Ipod" message and then the "found new hardware wizard" screen came up asking me for an installation CD or floppy to install software. I already have iTunes installed (the newest version) as have used it before with an Ipod nano. I have tried plugging the ipod into different USB ports on the computer but no avail.
    Could anyone help me with this problem as am desperate to use my new Touch?
    Thanks

    All was well with my 2nd Generation Itouch until I downloaded Itunes 8.2. then ol boy what problems I have had! As follows:
    1) Itunes cannot detect my device, therefore, no syncing is possible
    2) Cannot connect to the Itunes Store....error indicates I have problems with my network connection (error code 3221), although I am connected and I have not previously had a problem.
    I have searched for possible resolutions and have:
    (a) Uninstalled Itunes and reinstalled .... NO GOOD
    (b) Reset the network settings on the Itouch .... NO GOOD
    (c) Reset all settings ... NO GOOD
    (d) Ensured that the Apple mobile device option are okay
    etc etc. In fact, I have done everything possible that has been indicated on the various websites. I should confirm that my computer recognises my Itouch BEFORE I access Itunes.
    Please help.

  • Problems Syncing New iPod Touch 5g

         Ever since I got my new iPod a few days ago I have been having an extremely hard time syncing my iPod. The first time I went to plug it in to sync, everything worked perfectly and all my songs and videos from my previous iPod were on my new one. Now I try to put new songs onto it from some cd's I got and other stuff, but it just will not work. When I plug my iPod into my computer with the cord that came with it, an error message pops up onto my computer saying "USB Device not Recognized" so of course with that, iTunes does not recognize it either. The few times that I do plug my iPod in and iTunes recognizes it, it will sync for only a minute or so if even, and then an error will occur and the "USB Device no Recognized" sign will pop up once again. I decided after trying to get songs onto my new iPod and also after syncing a few times saw that it was putting multiples of my purchased songs onto my iPod that I would restore it and try it again, I've had no luck. This is beginning to get very frustrating because I have over 1,000 songs that I would like to put onto my iPod and I don't know what to do. Could someone possibly tell me if this has been happening to more than just me. How can I fix this? Also, sometimes when I plug my iPod in it will say to connect it to the 2.0 USB for it to work faster, the problem with this is that I have no idea where it is on my computer and I've tried plugging it into all of the USB outlets on my computer that I know of. If someone could please tell me what to do, it would save me, I don't know how much longer I can put up with this without throwing my computer out the window.

    - First I would do:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    - Next try on anoterh computer to help determine if y have a computer or iPod/cable problem
    - Also try another cable if you have one. Some 5G iPod where shipped with defective cables.
    - It cold also be a computer problem. The iPod requires USB 2 ports.
    - Does your computer have USB 2 portsd? How old is the iPod.
    - Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT1449 i have bought a new iPod touch and when i went to sync my iTunes library most of the songs didn't come across they get a explanation mark at the side they are whole cds of music. but i didn't have this problem on my old ipod touch when i was using

    I have bought a new ipod touch and when i went to sync my music library on to it only a few songs went over, the ones that didnt had a ! next to them. I had no problem when using my last ipod touch but i was using a pc at the time not a mac though.

    Hi there,
    This usually meas that iTunes can't find the original files. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for some tips on locating that lost media.

  • Brand new ipod touch 5th gen 64gb problems with first power on

    I have just received a brand new ipod touch 5th gen 64 gb from amazon. After reading the instructions i tried to power it on but nothing happened.
    It was suggested on here to try the recovery start but again, nothing happened.
    I then plugged the device in to a wall socket charger to see if the battery is flat,but the apple logo comes on for about 15 seconds then goes off again. If I hold down the home button while the apple logo is off, after a while the ipod goes into recovery start up, but as soon as i unplug it from the wall socket adaptor it turns off.
    It will not do anything plugged into the usb soccket of my laptop.
    Any ideas or will I have to return this to amazon?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. You can go to an Apple store even if yo purchased it from Amazon

  • Another New IPod Touch Owner with Wi-fi Problems

    Another New IPod Touch Owner with Wi-fi Problems.
    I have been working at this for about 4 hours now with no success and I am getting pretty frustrated, so if it show up in my typing please ignore it. I just don't understand why these multi-million dollar companies can't write a manual or put up a web site that can actually help someone with a problem.
    Ok, venting aside.
    I am running a gateway computer.
    Operating System = XP
    Router = Linksys WRT54G
    I have two other computers that are working fine with the existing wireless net work and have been for some time.
    I'm pretty good with my computer but haven't touched my router since initial set-up and all that was done was a basic set up.
    My I-pod is searching for a network and I'm three feet away from it but it doesn't find it.
    I printed out my wireless setting. I presume SSID name equals the name box on the ipod-touch
    Security = WEP
    What seems to be kicking my A$$ is the password. The route setting have never been changed so I would pesume the password should be the default "admin" which I put in (JOIN) and get the "Could not find network" screen
    So, I have perused this message board trying to discover and answer to mine, and and apparently many others question with no definitive results.
    So I guess what I and everybody else needs is a step by step how to guide on how to discover the info needed and enter in what we need to make this work.
    Thanks in advance to anybody that can actually help with this issue. A step by step do this would be nice.

    Thank you Terpfen for replying, and please excuse my ill temper earlier. I've calmed down some now.
    Step: 1 followed step one previously, Main screen, settings, Wi-Fi. Also set power down to 5 min to give I-Pod plenty of time to find network.
    Wi-Fi Network Screen.
    Wi-Fi ON
    Choose a Network (searching indicator) symbol spinning.
    Other ...
    Ask to Join Networks ON
    At this point the I-pod does not find any networks available. The indicator just spins but never returns any results. I am 3 feet for my WRT54G router.
    Hence the easy connect isn't connecting.
    The next step. is to manually set-up the connection.
    Main screen, setting, Wi-Fi, Other.
    press "Other" which brings up two fields
    Name __________
    Security ___________
    First Question? Which Name are they looking for. when I went to my router 192.168.1.1 It has the name linksys. However, when I go to my Wireless Network setting it has the name * ???? * which is different than Linksys router.
    Now, since one of the goals here is file sharing I presume I should be using the Wireless Network settings name. (which I have tried.)
    Next is security, Wireless Network setting indicate setting for WEP Once this is selected you then back-up to the "Enter Network Setting Screen" and you now have a password line added.
    Now I have never set a password for the router so the password for the router is the default Password "admin" And I don't recall ever setting a password for my network setting. But, I only use about three different passwords and a cycled through them still with no success.
    So, I need some expert advise on how and where to find the info to input into the required field to work or what I need to reset in my router to make this work.
    Thanks again for anyone who has constructive input to resolve my and probably many other peoples issues with this problem.

  • New iPod Touch 4g music/cover art problems.

    I just got my new iPod Touch on Monday and I was syncing music onto it (manually) today and all of a sudden, the cover art on most of my albums/songs were erased. Should I get a new iPod or is there any way to fix it? I really don't want to restore it already when I can just go get a new one if I'll have problems with this one in the future. Also, on my 2g iPod Touch, I could manually add lyrics, cover art, and other things within the iPod music list itself. Now, the cover art doesn't show up when I edit from there. Any suggestions as to what's going on and what I should do?

    i hope i'm not late but AFTER SO LONG OF SEARCHING EVERYWHERE ( i had this problem)  i myself tried an experiment
    and i finally found what works
    you're not alone in this LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ****** PROBLEM  because of iOS 5
    anyways here is what you have to do (  it's kind of hard to understand so i hope you do )
    go to your device ( in itunes) and mark off the sync music tab then click apply or sync ( this will wipe out all of your music)
    then you click the box again & you click sync ( this will put the  music back into your ipod )
    NOW we're not done yet
    quickly go to music ( in your itunes library) and just go around each song , like just clicking each song ( even twice if u want) and this will make the album covers appear onyour ipod ( u have to hurry before it stops syncing)
    so a faster way to do it is to just go to music in your library and the arrows ( in your computer's keyboard)
    ya know the arrows that are like up & down, left & right
    well.. quickly go over each album cover or song cover with the left and right arrows
    and if some of the covers don't go tru just click enter as if you were going to listen to them
    I REALLY HOPE THIS HELPS BECAUSE IT HELPED ME and i know how annoying this is and i want people to do this because it really works
    best of luck .xx

    My relatively new ipod touch 16 gb either does not show up as a drive or everytime says it does not recognize my ipod when connected to add music.  I didn't have problems loading music originally, but this is a new occurrence.  Could you help?

    Hey, Thanks a lot.  It took quite a bit of time to resurrect this ipod.  I tried the upgrade again, but still would not recognize my ipod. So I went to the next step and reset my ipod, wiping of all of the information like it was new.  This helped my laptop see the ipod on itunes, but did not sync. So, I deleted the itunes off my computer completely, restarted and then reinstalled the newest itunes, and then restarted.  Finally, it recognized my ipod and started to download each song.  It took awhile as there was 602 songs, but finally it works.  Yea!!!  I never had any problem with my old nano, but this touch has been another animal for sure. Thank you again and also the community for information.  This was a helpful forum and will recommend to others if they get stuck with their ipod or iphone.  Take care, Karen

  • I have a problem updating the new ipod touch 5th generation

    I have a problem updating the new ipod touch 5th generation and I need help:
    With each attempt I receive the message:
    iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode.  You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
    The iPod only displays a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an iTunes logo.
    I receive a "Are you sure..." message with the 2 options, one to Restore and Update and the other to Cancel.
    Each time I have selected the Restore and Update button and then moved through the acceptance screens.  Then iTunes begins to download the iOS 6.0.1 Software Update, which usually takes about 50 minutes.  During the download I will receive messages that an iPod has been found in restore mode.
    After the download is complete no update occurs to the iPod and iTunes displays the Device Summary screen showing derive Name as iPod and all other items as n/a.
    The iPod was working great without any known issues prior to attempting to update the OS.

    Maybe:
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
    Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • HT2905 Many (most) of my songs in my library have multiplied. I now have doubles and triples of my music. I don't know why it has done this or how to fix this problem. This is a new problem since I synced a new ipod touch this week.

    Many(most) of my songs in my library have multiplied. I now have doubles and triples of my music. This is a new problem that started this week when I synced my new ipod touch. Why did this happen and how do I get rid of it. I have around 1400 duplicates in my library now.

    I suspect in this case the problem is caused by your library and device having downloaded independent copies of the media, so that when the library connects to the device it copies over your purchases not realizing they are already in the library.
    When deduping use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
