Problem syncing ipod showing error (-69)

tried to put purchased itunes songs on ipod but just keeps saying error found (-69)

Hello stokie65,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you had a chance to look at this Apple support document? If not, it would be a good place to start at least.
[iTunes displays a -69 error when syncing iPod|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1210]
If the problem lies with a song you purchased from iTunes, I would report it to Apple and request another download of the song.
Hope this helps.

HT1351 Am having problems syncing iPod classic 160gb to iTunes within Windows 8. Can you help?

I bought my iPod Classic 160GB from new in April 2012. For several months, I ran it through an older HP laptop running Windows XP home edition (service pack 3 I think?). I did however, use a Toshiba external hard drive to store all CDs/podcasts/photos etc. All worked very well and I put a fair amount of music (via CDs and podcasts) on the iPod via iTunes. All worked successfully. I changed computer earlier this year - another HP laptop but now running Windows 8. I've downloaded the up to date edition of iTunes AND have also transferred all existing material/files from the same Toshiba external hard drive to the iTunes in my new computer. (think I did this correctly?) So far, so good. I have placed some more music on the external hard drive and into iTunes and wanted to sync with my iPod. I connect iPod to the computer. It's recognised in iTunes as the window comes up showing iPod's serial number and settings etc etc. The iPod screen shows 'sync' and the top of screen in iTunes also shows 'syncing' however, after a few seconds, this stops and the iPod screen shows 'OK to disconnect' without having transferred any of the new music onto the iPod. Although all the existing music remains on the iPod (the stuff that was there before), the copule of new CDs hasn't been transferred over. Can anyone help me solve this problem? I hear that there are some problems at the moment syncing iPods within Windows 8. Anybody else had this problem? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello hindzee,
The acticle below goes over how to sync content to iPod Classics. The section titled "Syncing automatically" will most likely be the most helpful protion of that article for you.

Problem syncing ipod nano with itunes after external hard disc install

Since moving the itunes library (without a hitch) to a new external drive we have had a new problem which presumably is linked! When the ipod is plugged in all seems normal at first, the ipod syncs ok, then the system hangs at that point. itunes says "syncing ipod do not disconnect" (Even though the sync icon has vanished from next to the ipod on the itunes screen)likewise the ipod says "Do not disconnect". Windows then opens a "Autoplay" window which is obviously searching for files, with the torch graphic. This continues with the computer frozen. Cancelling the autoplay, leaves it saying "Cancelling" but it doesn't. Ctrl-alt-del is required to stop it, but that causes the computre to actually require a switch off. The fault is obviously with whatever is triggering the "Autoplay", but the ipod correctly lists as drive H, it doesn't seem to be a drive letter confusion. (Unfortunately it is impossible to learn which drive the autoplay is searching, and why, and what it can't find! Is there anybody that can help, as itunes is unuseable with ipod at present. I have tried completely removing and reinstalling itunes/Quick time with no effect!

Recently I transfered my entire iTunes library over to my external HDD
How and what exactly did you transfer?
and completed all of the necessary requirements to be able to play my music back from the new folder location (i.e. changed the location in iTunes preferences and consolidated everything etc)
This should been done before you transferred anything.
Now I have gone to sync my iPod Touch with iTunes and it keeps coming up with an error
What exactly is the error and when do you see it?

Problem Syncing Outlook Calendar: Error code - 0x80043ac9

Hi,
When I try to sync my Outlook 2003 calendar entries with my Curve, I get the following error:
"Error encountered. Error code - 0x80043ac9. Check documentation."
It seems to be stuck in the "Processing Device Calendar" screen, with "Record 20 of 80 Records", when the above error popped up. See screenshot below.
I have NO PROBLEM syncing Outlook Contacts or Memos. I ONLY have problem when syncing Outlook Calendar.
I've read other posts out there where there was a similar problem when syncing Contacts, and the solution is to remove Birthday contact entries:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Curve-BlackBerry-8900/error-code-0x80043ac9/m-p/56...
But I don't have any Birthday in my contacts, and my problem is with Calendar, not Contacts.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this, or encountered similar problems? It's probably a "bad" calendar entries in there somewhere, but I'm not sure which.
Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the forums!
I suggest the following:
Back up the calendar database on the BlackBerry smartphone.
Clear the calendar database on the BlackBerry smartphone.
Note: For instructions on how to clear an individual database on the BlackBerry smartphone, see KB10167.

I don't know what's wrong with your ipod, but I have the same problem. I have however discovered how to stop the sync process once it freezes. Once you know it is frozen, click the stop button in the sync boxt at the top (several times). Then put the computer on standby. This sometimes takes a few minutes because the Itunes is using all the resources. Then wait until the ipod disconnects, resets itself and starts up. You can bring the computer out of standby. When itunes starts again - takes a few minutes, it will stop the sync and you can safely remove the ipod. This is the only way I've been able to get music on the ipod for the past 3 weeks. I never had any problems like this before. I have a 160 gig classic that is over a year old.

Always had no problem syncing iPod but now when I connect to computer it says iTunes detects a device but can't verify properly. Nothing is appearing under devices or on right hand side it's not saying "privates iPod" anymore to drag songs to.? Help

iPod not verified properly in iTunes a device is detected. Then on right hand side of computer screen doesn't say privates iPod anymore to drag songs to from my library ? Under devices nothing is ther ? Always had no problem? iPod doesn't even beep when plugged in or automatically backup anymore because iTunes sees a device but not sure what it is? What happened? I've tried 3 different cords too!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- See if another computer sees the iPod in iTunes
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Problems syncing TV Shows to iPod Touch

I am having issues syncing my TV shows that I've purchased on iTunes into my iPod Touch. I get a pop up window that says: The episode was not copied to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod.
I just purchased this iPod yesterday, I've updated the software and everything else that I have synced has worked. What is going on?!?

edit
don't give up so easily
first take a look @ iTunes. do you see this ?
if so, check your iTunes media (or music folder). open the folder for the tv show in finder. do you see this ?
if not, the SD versions may still be in the pipe. check your settings in iTunes > preferences > store. is +automatically check for available downloads+ enabled ?
you can check any time you like from the store menu.
if still no joy, access your +purchase history+ via (your) account in the iTMS and click on +report a problem+. report the problem.

Problem syncing TV shows onto iPod

I can sync my movies and music all onto my ipod, but I cannot sync my TV shows, even ones that I purchased. The TV shows have a little blue circle right next to each episode. I can watch the show on my computer and access the file on my computer, but cannot load them onto my ipod.

I had auto sync on lol!

When sync iPod, get error message and deletes all playlists!

Just the other day a problem developed. When I sync my iPod (160G,) after a short time of syncing I get a pop-up which says, "Cannot sync "Dennis iPod" because an unknown error occurred. Error number 48"
I clicked OK, and it seemed to sync anyway without further problems. Now this may be a separate issue, but yesterday I was trying to help a friend with loading iTunes on his computer and then getting music in it and then syncing his new Nano. He knows less about computers than I do, so I went through all the steps in detail, clicking on various settings, etc.
I don't recall changing anything and I have gone over my iTunes setup again and it looks OK to me, but the next time I synced my iPod, iTunes ERASED ALL THE PLAYLISTS!
I have it setup to sync only "checked" playlists.
I am using iTunes 7.5.0.20
Another thing I have noticed for some time now is that syncing my iPod seems to take much longer than it used to. For instance, I get a podcast of a radio program which I like to put on my iPod. The program has three segments which are approx. 30 min. long. It used to take what seemed to be about 6-7 sec. per segment to sync. This was back in the days of the older iTunes which showed the Music playlist with little icons beside the new material to be synced. As it synced, as I recall, the icon disappeared. Now it takes several times as long to sync. Any suggestions. By the way, I don't have "use error correction" checked.
Thanks for any help.
Dennis

i am having the same problem with mine, i have spent the last couple of hours trying to figure it out. i cant wait to see who figures out the problem

Problems Syncing Ipod Nano

I plugged my ipod nano in like normal, and when I hit the button to sync it, it said that "songs on the ipod cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist".
when i unplugged my ipod, all of the songs were gone, but they were still in the itunes library on the computer...
please help! thanks! :]

You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod. If the playlist selected is deleted from iTunes the iPod no longer has a location to sync from and you get an error. (Syncing selected playlists by the way is a useful setting to use when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library). However you can make a new one or make use of an existing one.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -My iPod for example (the dash will position it at the top of the playlists in Sources). You can make it a smart playlist that picks the songs for you or just a normal one and drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Syncing Music to iPod
To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
When you want to change the selection in the smart playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection. When you want to change the normal playlist just delete out what you don't want and drag in a new selection.

Syncing iPod: Unknown Error (-54)

With both my 30GB iPod and my new iPod classic I get an error message during sync:
+Attempting to copy to the disk "iPod" failed. An unknown error occurred (-54).+
It starts syncing again when you try a few times and then stops again after a few more songs. The closer to 20GB I get, the more frequently the error occurs. Eventually, syncing stops working altogether. There are explanations for this problem with error codes -69 and -48 ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304893 ) ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302684 ). But nothing at all is to be found about the mysterios error code -54. Because my mac and my iPod are all shiny and new, I am not really over the moon about this. Should I start using my windows machine again (things worked perfectly there...)?

Place the iTunes library or the folder containing it into the frontmost Finder window, and then run the following from the Script Editor, which is in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder:
tell application "Finder"
set locked of every item of entire contents of (folder of window 1) to false
end tell
This issue is often due to a locked item in the iTunes library, which can be unlocked by running the script.
