"Sync encounteed an error while syncing: unknown error". "sync now" does not solve it just comes back with same error.

continuously appears at the bottom of the window

I've finally found a solution to that Sync issue:
I downloaded the "Places Maintenance" add-on and run the integrity check routine and it seems to have fixed the issue.

  • HT201263 My ipod touch does not restore properly and comes up with an unknown error (9). What do I do?

    My ipod touch does not restore properly and comes up with an unknown error (9). What do I do? I have tried restoring it a few times and it keeps coming up with this error. Yet on Itune on my computer, it tells me that the ipod software is up to date. ipod screen is just showing the itune logo and a usb connector.

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

    Hello there, Shaz18663.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides a solution for the error you have mentioned:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Particularly:
    Check USB connections
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • "Error occurred in deployment step 'Retract Solution': The solution does not have a WSP file associated with it." occurs while deploying from Visual studio

    HI,
    I get this error "Error occurred in deployment step 'Retract Solution': The solution does not have a WSP file associated with it. " when deploying my project from visual studio 2010 to
    SharePoint 2010 site. I tried restarting IIS, but it didn't help. This application used to work fine until the server crashed during the deployment process. All the other applications on the same server works fine also. Any ideas how to fix this issue? 
    Thanks in advance,
    AM

    Hi
    AM ,
    Thank you for your posting!
    According to your error message, it says your solution does not have a WSP file associated with it. Take a look at the file system.  After you Right Click -> Deploy Solution on the VS Solution, there
    should be a .wsp file at <Solution Directory>\bin\<debug|release>.
    Also the error can be occurring when the developer try to deploy solutions over pre-existing solutions  with material changed  in the solution.  Go to your Central Administration Site and then
    Operations and then Solution Management.  Make sure that there not already a solution with the same name deployed or installed there.  If there is, remove it and try deploying again.
    And you could look in logs and find if there is a below error in ULS log (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS).
    Thank you for your understanding and support.
    Best Regards,

  • File Sync feature does not retain Mac Finder tags on *other Macs

    Anyone notice that - while using at least two Macs where one was set to upload the initial set of files - Finder does not see created tags of files downloaded from CC File Sync. I suppose the sync service does not support the fork required to maintain this information. ?

    Contact Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine. Should apply to new machines within the first 90-day period.

  • I got an iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. I updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone.

    I upgraded from Iphone 3g to iphone 4. I had to update my macbook pro to Lepard just to sync. the **** thing with the new iphone 4. I bought and updated to lepard. Now when I try to sync itunes does not recognize my new iphone 4 as mine and wants to erase everything I have bought using the phone before it will sync! It says everything on the phone now will be cleared in order to sync it with my existing info on the computer from my previous iphone. How can I just get everything from my current iphone 4 into itunes, basically add it to the info from my previous iphone 3g that is currently in my itunes?  I dont want to lose what I have on my phone currently....I paid money for half the apps for crying out loud.
    I was so frustrated by this when I first bought the phone that I just pushed it out of my mind and NEVER synced it. Please help...

    Nope - you cannot restore a backup from a newer iOS version on to a device running an older iOS version.  The reverse works, but in your case to use your backup, you must update to iOS 7.0.3 - no other option if you want to use that backup.

  • Apple TV syncs but does not stream- Article: TS1447 not helpful

    My content does not stream from my Mirror Door computer. I have read the article listed above but System Preferences, Sharing does not offer the firewall setup posted, even though it was posted December 08.
    When I first set this up it worked fine now it syncs and does not stream. I have hard rebooted the Apple TV, I have disconnected it from my current iTunes and then went through the process of re-associating it with my iTunes. All are most recent versions. Everything works fine except for the portion of streaming from my computer. I have not a clue! Any ideas? Is there a preference file I should delete?
    Setup: Mirror Door connected to the new Extreme N.
    *The Sharing panel does not have a Firewall option.*
    This is the article:
    Apple TV: Data does not sync or stream after entering passcode
    Last Modified: December 02, 2008
    Article: TS1447
    Old Article: 305287
    Symptoms
    Once you have entered the passcode from the Apple TV on your Mac or PC to establish a syncing or streaming connection, the sync or steam of content may not work.
    Products Affected
    Apple TV
    Resolution
    This can result from a firewall being enabled on your Mac or PC. If you have a firewall enabled, please make the following adjustments:
    On a PC
    Make sure the firewall is configured to allow TCP connections on port 3689. This will allow the transfer of content for syncing and or streaming to your Apple TV. If you use Windows Firewall, see "iTunes for Windows: Music Sharing With Windows Internet Connection Firewall " for detailed steps. If you use other firewall software, check the documentation for that software on how to open port 3689.
    On a Mac
    Open the Sharing System Preference (choose Apple > System Preferences and then choose View > Sharing).
    Click on Firewall.
    In the "Allow" field make sure the "iTunes Music Sharing" check box is checked. This will allow the transfer of content for syncing and or streaming to your Apple TV.
    If you use other firewall or internet protection software, check the documentation for that software on how to open TCP connections on port 3689.
    Note: If you use "fast user switching" on a Mac with firewall enabled you'll need to enable additional ports to allow streaming to Apple TV. If you don't, only the first user will be able to stream to Apple TV. For one additional user enable TCP port 49152. For each additional user, open the next incremental port (49153 for three users, 49154 for four users, 49155 for five users, etc.).
    Follow these steps to add the necessary ports:
    From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    From the View menu, choose Sharing.
    Click the Firewall tab.
    Click New.
    From the Port Name pop-up menu, choose Other.
    In the TCP Port Number(s) field, type in:
    491452, 49153
    This example allows for a total of three users. If you need more, enter the additional number(s) as described in the note above. If you need fewer, just enter the first number.
    In the Description field type in: Extra Apple TV streams
    Click OK.

    Click on the greyed out library and a dialogue telling you the library is unavailable will appear with an option to disconnect, I haven't actually tried this since if it does what I think it does it will delete my registration.
    You may want to try the 'change library' option I mentioned before for the synced library, it may avoid you having to resync everything over.
    Sync and stream are initiated from different ends, streaming doesn't work because you have changed your libraries and the tv no longer recognises them. I assume you moved your libraries over to your new mac, when you sync from itunes it uses the info from before you moved it and of course the tv is still the same tv so itunes recognises it and it will sync.

  • Satellite Pro M10 will not boot again and comes up with the error message

    My Toshiba Satellite Pro M10 notebook will not boot again and comes up with the error message "load error" when I push the power button.
    The problem arised after installation of "symantec system works" and trying to restart windows XP professional to make the installed program executable.
    What can I do to get the notbook restart again?

    Hi everyone
    If you cannot acces to the boot menu by pressing F8 you can try to recover the the master boot record from Windows Xp professional installation Cd, to do this:
    Attention: don't run these commands if you have more than one operating systems running in your laptop.
    Boot from Windows Xp installation cd
    Choose repair installation from console by pressing "C" key.
    A console will open asking you for administrator password, insert the password and press enter.
    Run de command: FIXMBR (It will write a new boot record)
    Run de command: FIXBOOT (It will write a new boot file)
    Restart the laptop and now windows should start without problems.
    Regards

  • How do I get my photos off 1st generation itouch? I have macbook pro, ipad, iphone. Itouch syncs but does not have option to share in any capacity ie send via email, etc. Also, the computer from which photos were originally taken from has crashed.

    How do I get my photos off 1st generation itouch? I have macbook pro, ipad, iphone. Itouch syncs but does not have option to share in any capacity ie send via email, etc. Also, the computer from which photos were originally taken from has crashed.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Did you fail to back up your pics?
    The photo sync is one way - comptuer to ipod.
    You can e-mail them to yourself (instructions in the manual), but they will not be of the original quality.

  • My Netbook that my phone is sync to does not have a cd drive and I want to put my digital copies onto it

    My Netbook that my phone is sync to does not have a cd drive and I want to put my digital copies onto it but I do not know how to, I have a laptop I can put the disks in but I don't know if it will let me copy the file to a flash drive any ideas? also I keep getting this message about updating my media player security and when i go to the site it links to the update button is greyed out and will not allow me to do it

    If you import the CD on your laptop with a disc drive, then you can place the music files on a flash drive and transfer them over to your netbook. You could also choose to email the music files from the disc drive laptop to yourself to download them onto your netbook through your mail account.
    As for your second question, is it windows media player you're trying to update? Try downloading the latest version of WMP to see if that resolves the issue.
