Some Handheld/PC records were not copied to your PC/Handheld, your PC/Handheld may be full...

So, after syncing the new Tungsten E, I got the above error message. I went back and began deleting superfluous old events in the calendar. Upon re-syncing, didn't work. I thought about getting the additional 1-year Palm support and asking a human-being about what the heck to do, then I found this forum.
I enthusiastically did 2 hard resets then re-sync (per recommendations in another string of comments below), but no good. Then I thought it may be a software issue and put in the CD that came with the new E, thinking it may be another version or something (I had previously used a Tungsten E and was just trying to sync a new one, and I am relatively computer-challenged). Then from the CD Wizard, I did the Modify, and Repair functions - no good - still get the same error message on the sync logs.
Then I did an uninstall and reinstall - no good, same error message. This was after restarting my computer. Then the wizard kicked-in again and asked me to do another sync - who am I to say no? It went through a long sync and gave me the same message, but I also either noticed for the first time or it really stated this for the first time, "Protocol Error: File already exists. (400B)."
Then I did another hard reset, clicked "back" on the wizard, then clicked on the Next to get to the Wizard screen that tells me to perform a Hot Sync and tried to sync it again. It went thru another long sync where it stated it was "Restoring handheld databases." Same 'some handheld records were not copied to your PC' error message. I was not online so I did another hard reset, got the laptop online, and tried another sync. No luck - same "records not copied to PC/Handheld...PC/Handheld may be full" but neither one is actually full.
Then I noticed the Wizard apparently did not recognize that a sync had been performed, because the "Next" button did not highlight (so I could click on it) after I did the sync! But interestingly, even though the error message comes up, the desktop and the PDA do in fact sync, even when I test it with new calendar events!
So, I do not think this is a problem in terms of usefulness of the PDA, but why the heck do I keep getting the error? Thanks, and any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Post relates to: Tungsten E

I completely uninstalled the desktop software and reinstalled it, making deletions from the registry and such. Did not work for me. Then I called a friend and he helped. Since my desktop and Palm were actually sync'ing even thought I was getting the error message, he said to do a hot sync with the Palm overwriting the desktop. He said that if the desktop was more current, have it overwrite the Palm handheld, but for me the opposite was true.
I did this and the calendar synced! No error message. Not sure if that will work for all of you who have clear discrepancies between what is in the desktop calendar and the handheld calendar, but it worked for me at least. Good luck and you also can try PalmOne support online by emailing them. They do get back to you promptly - even though their solutions did not help me this time. They did try to help.

  • Since I downloaded iTunes 11, I get a message when syncing my iPod that some of my songs were not copied because they are not authorized on this computer,  I go to Store Authorize This Computer, a message pops up telling me that this computer is already.

    Since I downloaded iTunes 11, I get a message when syncing my iPod that some of my songs were not copied because they are not authorized on this computer,  I go to Store> Authorize This Computer, a message pops up telling me that this computer is already.

    So I am unclear, did you purchase these songs or import them from a cd?
    If you imported them and still have the CD try importing them again and see if they work the delete the others.
    Or if you purchased from itunes re-dowwnload and see if they work. Maybe they are corrupted files and this should resove it.

    Try playing one of the problem tracks in iTunes. If it is not authorized, iTunes should invite you to do so.
    Tracks will not transfer to your iPod if they are not authorized.
    If you have trouble getting your tracks authorized, there is an Apple help that includes a email form for contacting Customer Service:

  • "Some of the items were not copied/file not found..." when syncing

    Every since about a month or so ago, everytime I connect my iPod (or iPhone) to itunes, it does the auto-sync, and after every sync, I keep getting the message:
    "Some of the items in the itunes library, including ..., were not copied because they could not be found"
    This started out with about 10 'errors' and now today, there were 46 total problems (songs). I have done absolutely nothing to delete any of these songs. When I look in my itunes library, there is now an " ! " to the left of the song, and if I click and try to play the song it says the original file could not be found. This is happening to more and more of my songs, pretty soon I'm not going to have a library left! Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

    I have had the same problem. Although I accept that performing the remedy suggested helps in the short term I fail to see how that addresses the underlying problem. I have a new 80GB 5th Generation iPod. I have over 6000 pieces on it and initially I had 4-5 items that wouldn't syn even though they were both on the iPod and the HD of the computer. I corrected the items as suggested and then a few days later like you I had over 100items not syncing. Not only will it take over an hour to manually find the so-called missing files and replace them but I'm concerned that in a week's time it will be a different hundred. Any other suggestions.
    The missing files can all still be found in iTunes Library but for some reason the software is not opening them. Any further guidance or help would be greatly appreciated.

    When I try to sync my iPod Video, I get this message displayed in iTunes 7.5:

  • Some of my songs were not copied fully into iCloud from my music Library and re-syncing does't work to make them whole again

    When I migrated to a mini my iTunes libraries  got messed up. And some songs were only partially copied to the cloud. Now no matter what have
    done the cloud replaces my efforts with the same partial song. So when that song is being played back the audio drops out but the song keeps playing
    the same song the rest of the in silence, but ends within the right amount of time.
    Very wierd, I have spent hours on this.

  • "Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied"

    I bought two albums on iTunes today and downloaded them to ITunes on my PC.  When I tried to sync them with my iPod nano i got an error message saying the some of the files were not copied becasue the audio format is not supported by the iPod.  Why would iTunes downloaded tracks in a format not supported by an iPod?  The tracks in question won't play in iTunes either although the other tracks on both albums do.  Any solutions to this problem, please?

    I've solved the problem myself by deleting the tracks and downloading them again from iCloud.
    Still not clear why tracks downloaded in different formats, though!

  • Every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad and the message I get is this: some of the items in the itunes library, including were not copied to the ipad because you are not authorized for them on this computer... help?

    For a couple months now, every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad giving me the error: "some of the items in the iTunes library, including were not copied to the iPad because you are not authorized for them on this computer". I have read many forums about deleting, reinstalling, de-authorizing and authorizing my iMac through the iTunes store. Many suggestions don't work except to rename the movie to *.MP4 in Finder under the iTunes movie directory. I imagine this is a setting or a bug somewhere... any suggestions on how to bypass having to rename the files in Finder? My research into Google suggests this problem dates back to 2007 or so but it is now more prevalent than ever.
    Thanks.

  • How can I solve this error message? Some of your photos, including the photo "IMG_0374.jpg", were not copied to the iPad "(my name's) iPad" because they cannot be displayed on your iPad.

    how can I solve this error message? "Some of your photos, including the photo “IMG_0374.jpg”, were not copied to the iPad “(my name’s) iPad” because they cannot be displayed on your iPad."
    There were 273 photos in the event syncing from my Mac, but only the last 103 made it to the ipad. Most of the photos were taken by an iphone. I would appreciate any thoughts or insights - thanks.

    Adrian-
    That error message suggests the photo is somehow corrupt.
    Do you have the Apple Camera Connection Kit?  You can set up a USB thumb drive with MS-DOS FAT-32 format and copy your photos to it into a folder named DCIM.  Assuming they have an 8 character plus suffix name, the iPad will recognize them and give you the option of transferring them via the Kit's USB adapter.
    Once they are transferred, you can find out if there is a problem with any.

  • Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipad because they could not be found

    Hi All, problem with my ipad mini. When trying to copy music over I get the following "some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipad because they could not be found". I reset the ipad, as new, not a backup copy, and managed to rectify the problem, right until I downloaded IOS 6.1.3, now the problem is back and the previous solution does not work. The songs can be easily transferred to my ipad and iphone, so they are no problems with the itunes library.

    The issue is in iTunes, not the iPad.
    In the itunes music library go to the songs that you miss, rightclick and choose "show in Finder", that results in "not found" and you have the option to locate (and "connect" them), if they are gone from your computer, you will have to restore them from a backup or TM.
