Several errors while syncing, can't sync ipod anymore

Hello,
I just hooked up my ipod touch to my pc (windows 7) and hit the sync button, when itunes started throwing error messages at me. a few of them: unknown (0xE8004006), file specified cannot be found, folder specified instead of file, internal device error occured, etc etc.
then suddenly the bar at the info screen (the one that tells you how much space your music, videos etc is using) told me i only had 11Gb of music left (used to be 22) and Other had gone from a few hundred Mb to 12Gb.
I thought it might be solved by reconnecting my ipod to my pc, so I did. Now my iTunes is asking me to either restore my ipod from backup or set it up as a new ipod, the same window you get when your ipod is in recovery mode. However, my ipod is still fully functional, so i don't see any reason at all that would explain why i need to restore my backup...
So right now i'm unable to sync my ipod in any way, is there anyone who knows what to do?
Thanks,
Sander

Welcome to the discussions,
There is no other way than to restore your ipod to get rid of that big "other" section. If something goes wrong during a sync, the result is that additional part to the "other" section.
You can try to use your last backup first, but if this does not solve your problem, restore "as new ipod" to make sure your not using corrupt files from your backup.

If your ipod is not recognized in iTunes anymore, connect in recovery mode to restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Error while relocating (Can't write file (no space)) - Help please

    I have been having trouble relocating master files since upgrading to Leopard. The problem doesn't seem to affect only Aperture. I can happen when using Finder or another application to move files from one drive to another. Other types of files don't seem to be affected, just my library of image files.
    The copy operation runs for a while then hangs up. The application doing the copy reports an error that that's the end. Aperture gives this error message: Error while relocating (Can’t write file (no space)). The Finder reports plenty of available space on the destination drive!
    I remember seeing a thread--but can't find it now--about a problem with certain xmp metatdata embedded into files causing problems with file operations.
    Hoping for a solution!

    It's possible that you might have a corrupt file. Have you tried to copy different files on to the destination drive? If those files copy fine, then narrow down the offending file by copying less images at a time.

  • IPod won't restore...error message saying "Can't mount iPod"...

    I have determined that I need to restore my iPod based on my problem (I manually update playlists and cannot add a playlist because I get an error message saying "The disk cannot be read from or written to.") So I open iPod updater 11-17-2005 to try to restore my iPod and I get an error message saying "Can't mount iPod". I can't restore or update my iPod because of this error message. Can anyone help me? I've been all through the discussions, online help, etc., and can't find this particular error message. Thanks!!

    I came to charge my iPod because the battery went low, after few minutes it came on with this do not disconnect, i tried to restore it also says can't mount, it has been exactly two days. I disconnected the iPod and the backlight and the message did not go off until the battery ran out. I also need some help my address is [email protected] Seriously I just got my iPod click wheel 30Gb color display, video, photo.

  • Error while relocating (Can't create folder)

    I have been running a referenced library for some time now. I seem to have run into a problem where I can no longer move originals from my hard drive to the referenced external drive.
    When trying to do so, I get the following message:
    Error while relocating (Can’t create folder)
    Any ideas what has changed and how to fix this error?
    Thanks
    Robert

    I did the verify disk from drive utility, checked out as ok. I decided to run the repair disk anyways. I first chose the name of the drive "1 TB Seagate" and all was well with both verify and repair.
    I then chose "GoFlex Aperture" and did the same. Verify was fine, but as you can see, something is amiss with trying to repair it.
    Here's the get info grab.
    Here's the console shot, did find something about the goflex aperture database drive, although that is far beyond my ability to comprehend.
    I appreciate your help. I'm running to the post office, be back in a bit.
    Thanks,

  • Ipod touch passes sync test, but get error message and can't sync properly...can you help?

    I get an error message saying I can't sync my iPod touch 4th generation, but when I do the diagnostic test, it says it passes and is working properly?  The place I see it is in the playlists...like they won't transfer from my computer to the iPod...Recently Added, Recently Played...

    I tried everything suggested by the link you provided and it did not work.   I had been purchasing music directly from my iPOD for over a year.  I decided to start using my iTunes account and the first time I tried to sync I was prompted to "erase content and sync".  What happened was that the music was deleted from my iPOD and then it has never successfully sync'ed with iTunes.

    I'm getting really mad about this...the problems with syncing just keep piling up...
    Has anyone had/fixed this Calendar problem?

  • Unknown error -69.  Can't sync or recover

    After the latest iTunes update, each time I try to sync my iPod classic I get an "unknown error 69".  I've tried restoring my iPod and still songs that have always synced before are causing the error.  Help!

    Hi,
    Please see if these help (for 11gR2)
    Export the LDAPUser.xml file from MDS using weblogicExportMetatdata.bat. This xml contains the attributes mapping between OIM and OID for LDAP synchronization.
    Include the entry for OIM attribute (if entry does not exist for the attribute in the XML) under entity-attributes node. For e.g. use the following xml snippet to add the entry for ISD Code for Phone attribute
    <entity-attributes><attribute name=”ISD Code for Phone”> <type>string</type> <required>false</required> <attribute-group>Extended </attribute-group> <searchable>true</searchable> </attribute> </entity-attributes>
    Include the entry for OID attribute under target-fields node. For e.g. use the following xml snippet to add the entry for CountryCode
    <target-fields><field name=”CountryCode”><type>String</type> <required>false</required> </target-fields>
    Now map the OIM attribute with the OID attribute using the following xml snippet under attribute-maps node
    <attribute-maps><attribute-map> <entity-attribute> ISD Code for Phone </entity-attribute> <target-field>CountryCode</target-field> </attribute-map></attribute-maps>
    Save the changes and import the file back into MDS using WebLogic import utilities.

  • Don't want to sync podcasts to my iPod anymore- now they won't transfer!

    Hey folks,
    I manually managed all my iTunes podcasts for the longest time without any problem, and last week, decided to try out auto-sync because I would routinely leave the house and forget to transfer the newest editions of my favorite podcasts to my iPod.
    After realizing I liked the old way better, I decided to go under the "Podcast" tab of my iPod and uncheck "sync podcasts", assuming that this would let me go back to manually managing them. However, when I try to manually drag and drop my podcasts into my iPod, they don't show up.
    All podcasts worked fine before and are all in the right format, being subscribed to in the official iTunes store.
    Any suggestions? Thanks a bunch.
    EDIT: Sorry everyone, just realized this is the iTunes for windows section. Didn't mean to post here. Ooops.

    You can choose to "automatically update selected playlists only" in which case you can create a playlist specifically for the Nano and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Or you can choose to "manually manage songs and playlists"
    For info:
    The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
    1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
    2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
    3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.
