Recieved unknown error 124 message

This error message shows up basically telling me i cannot sync my ipod, and it turned everything on the ipod to junk data that i have to restore.
after substantial searching on google i discovered it may be a problem related to my update to the latest version of iTunes, and it is causing conflicts with windows.
It was also mentioned that downgrading to itunes 6 will solve the issue but i do not want to lose my library, playlists and podcast subscriptions.
anyone have any suggestions?

I have a mini iPod and received the same error. Try following the 5R's. Beware, this means you will need to Restore your nano which will erase all stuff on it. If this doesn't work, try doing a 'chkdsk' and formatting the hard drive in disc mode. Unfortunately this didn't work for me and I contacted Apple phone support who indicated that is was a hardware problem (not software) and that I would need to send it in for repairs. The Apple technician hadn't heard of this error....but it seems to be a huge problem with the iPod and mini iPod series (as per the discussion board), I hope it isn't also occurring in the nano series. Sounds like no solution by Apple is in the works. Eventually my mini iPod died a few days later!!!

Unknown Error -124.

Hello,
I've been experiencing problems after restoring my Ipod after getting sad Ipod and the folder with the exclamation mark.
I've got a 40Gb 4th Generation Ipod and was using Itunes 4.9 (just upgraded to the latest version to see if that helps).
After updating some songs I get error messages saying 'Error copying to Steven's Ipod. Unknown Error -124'.
Sorry I don't have the full error message but after updating Itunes I can't recreate it, but everytime it's occurred it's the same error number.
I've tried with both Firewire and USB ports and got the same error message.
Any ideas?
Any feedback is really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Steven

I had a similar error with my 30GB Video Ipod when attempting to download pictures. I discovered that having Outlook open as well as having the Ipod settings to update my Outlook calendar caused the error. Once I shut down Outlook, and removed the check mark on update Outlook Calendar (on the Ipod preference settings), the pictures downloaded without a problem.

Unknown error (-124) HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd had some troubles with my ipod software so I downloaded itunes again and the ipod worked perfectly, then midways it stopped and said "unknown error (-124)" and now, the computer won't recognize it. It's a 4G black ipod... I don't know if it makes a difference or not... but just in case...

Where were you on iTunes when it did this? Was it while the iPod was syncing?

Thanks!

Hi, I'e never heard of that error before!???
Is this purchased music, or your own music files?

When I try to burn a disc, I receive an "unknown error 2700" message. How do I correct this?

When I try to burn a disc, I always receive an "unknown error 2700" message. How do I correct this?

Since you are using a 2012 iMac which has no optical drive, your problem is w/an external disc burner? Is the burner a tray or slot loader?
Type of file you are trying to burn?
Type of disc?
Make sure the DVD/CDs are not dirty, smudged and/or scratched.
Your drive may need cleaning. Cleaning kits can be purchased from any store that sells CD/DVDs.

'Unknown error 14' message.

I need to resore my iphone as it is showing as being 'in recovery'. However when trying to restore I get 'unknown error 14' as a message and restore stops.
I have already checked i have latest itunes
I am connected via a valid usb with original cable
Cant find any list of these error codes on Apple support. Can anyone help me?

I'm having the same problem, having just updated v2.2.1 I checked the USB cables, tried different cables, tried different slots, restarted the computer half a dozen times, restarted the iPhone etc....this is on my dad's PC and his original iPhone. As I'm typing this, I'm restoring his phone on my iTunes (on my Mac), hopefully this will solve the problem....so if a corrupted update was seeded into my dad's PC, then what should I do about it?

Keep getting "Unknown Error (-4)" messages when syncing

Hi all,
Last night I did a completely fresh reinstall of Leopard on my MBP, and ever since then I have not been able to sync my iPhone applications, or install the new ATT carrier update. Each time I try either of those, or performing a Restore, I get a message stating an unknown error occured (-4). I'm logged into my iTunes acocunt on both the phone and laptop, and I tried resetting the phone from it's system settings already with no luck.
Anyone else seeing this issue?

Took it to the Apple store where it was restored successfully, but upon getting home I'm still having this issue trying to add my applications back to the phone. I have redownloaded them both on my laptop, and on the iPhone, and I still cannot sync them. Ditto on the ATT carrier update, that still will not work without this (-4) error.

"CoreBluetooth[WARNING] Unknown error: 1309" message cause

I am sporadically getting the message "CoreBluetooth[WARNING] Unknown error: 1309” on the console when running a BlueTooth app I am developing. Even though the message states that it is a warning, it stops execution of the app. I have been able to work around this problem by turning the Bluetooth setting off and then back on. Can anyone tell me what is causing this and what I should do to avoid it?

I posted this problem on [email protected] Bluetooth <[email protected]> and received this response from Jason Conn:
If I had to hazard a guess, I’d say that the primary reason you haven’t received much of a response is because you’ve given no description of your issue beyond “sometimes I see error 1309 and things stop working”.
If you haven’t already, please file a bug on bugreporter.apple.com and include as much detail as possible - a description of what you’re trying to do, repro steps that lead to the issue, even a test app. Respond to me directly with the bug number, and I will follow-up.
I had hopedsomeone at Apple could look into the code and state the conditions that led to this warning message. I was not able to reproduce the problem sufficiently reliably to file a bug report. Maybe you can.

Ipod touch 2nd generation getting unknown error -1 message while trying to update to 4.2 disabled the security still get message any suggestions?

While trying to update my ipod touch 2nd generation to ios 4.2 i get the messge this ipod could not be restored. Unknown error occured (-1). Tried updating with security software disabled, restarting both computer and ipod still same results any suggestions?

Since Apple says:
Error 1 or -1
This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
It sounds like you have a hardware problem ((device may need service). Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

The "Error compiling movie. Unknown Error." message...

I had a Core2 processor until recently, running Win7 64 bit, on which Premiere CC ran just fine (but slowly) and on which I produced hours of video.
To speed my life up, installed a new Asus87 motheboard with an Intel i7 chip. Did a clean install of Win7/64.
it's the SAME hard disk, memory and graphics card. only a new motherboard and processor.
and yet.. projects that i opened and worked on before, will NOT render - they crash continually with the dreaded "Unknown" error msg and i am close to tears of frustation.    An @adobecare tech from India spent two hours on the phone with me the other day and could not solve it.
So if the ONLY thing that has changed is the motherboard and processor, what is it?   Note that it always crashes at 88% into a 'red line render' no matter, how big or small the render area is - definetely nothing to do with corrupt video.
I've followed the standard Adobe reply on what to do if you see this error, and that does not solve anything.   It is not disk space, graphics driver, bad memory or corrupt video.
if i take a project which won't render, and copy it over onto my laptop and run up Premire CC on that - it works just fine.
Make of that what you will .. !
(also worth noting, AfterEffects works just fine opening up prevous projects and has no problems whatsoever dealing with complicated projects. this is very specific to Premiere)

So, after another longer-than-an-hour phonecall with an Adobe Tech last night, we found two things:
1. My new Win7 build had a different audio device, and Premiere didn't like it. Reinstalling the latest audio drivers got a sequence to render which previously wouldn't.   Tip for video : Check your audio!
2. It still didn't work in some cases, until.. we went to 'Sequence' and change the Edit Mode to be 'Custom' and then at the bottom, change the Preview File Format to Microsoft AVI (the default sequence has choseen IFrame only MPEG).    It doesn't seem to matter what coded you then selected - they call worked. WIth this, all my sequences then rendered!
The tech told me that this was the case for .M2T files (which i usally record and work with), but I later found that a project with footage shot on a Nikon D5100 with all .MOV files also wouldn't render, until I changed the sequence settings to Microsoft AVI... yes, for .MOV files! So it's not .M2T specific.
Also, none of this explains why all these projects and sequences worked fine on my old Intel Core 2 machnes, but upgrading to an new motherboard with Intel i7 chip made this all break.
But there you go people.. on a Windows machine, try setting the the Preview File Format to 'Microsoft AVI' and see what it does for you...

Can anyone help a newbie with "An unknown error (-609)" message?

I just bought my first iPod a week ago and so far, I haven't had any problems with iTunes. But today, I can't get any artwork for CD's I'm importing because of "An unknown error (-609)." I checked, and my iTunes is up to date. Is there anything I can do about this or is this the kind of problem that will come and go on its own?

No. I bought it online. Still can't restore. Pls help me. Thanks!
