Sync error occurred

Out of nowhere I started getting a message "sync error occurred, please retry". There is no error number. This happens in the middle of syncing my contacts. I can't think of anything I have done to cause it.. I have rebooted, tried entering a dummy entry both on my BB and my Apple address book thinking it would possibly correct. All to no avail. I am using Desktop Mgr 1.03 (build 19) Mac. I have a BB Tour 9630 v5.0.0732 (bundle 1242). Under advanced settings, Replace All Settings on BB is unchecked, I think it has always been that way. Before the error I was sync both ways so the news data would overwrite old and additions would be added.
Thanks for any help that can be offered.

Hey jezebel10,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
To create a new calendar in iCal click on the (+) at the bottom left in iCal and this will create a new calendar.
Make sure you name the calendar to something you can find, for example "Test or BlackBerry Test"
Open BlackBerry Desktop Manager and make sure this new calendar populates in the list, and you will only synchronize with this calendar.
Test and let me know if it goes through successfully or fails.

Sync error occurs when syncing contacts

Hi. The new desktop software was working fine, then all of a sudden, I started getting the following error message: "A sync error occurred. Please retry sync." Of course, when I retry, I keep getting the same message. It comes up during the contact syncing. I am not sure what the problem is. Any ideas on how to find out why it is hanging up and how to fix it??
Thanks.

I can say I am having this problem as well. I have scoured the forums and support pages, and tried everything under the sun; uninstall, reinstall, wipe, contact grouping, you name it and the problem persists. Gold medal to the person that can help me.
It looks like I get a date error in the log window. To be precise:

Hi,
I have a similar or the same problem. When syncing contacts, a dialog pops up saying "a sync error occurred", and the log file reads:

How can you get your music synced from iTunes to your iPod when a window pop ups on the screen saying"The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019))?

I had 429 songs already on my iPod Touch. When I was in the process of syncing a song from my iTunes Library on to my iPod, a window popped up on the screen saying, ""The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019)). I click "Device" on my iTunes Library to make sure the song was in my iPod. It showed the song that was recently synced now listed under "Device", but when I physically looked for the song on my iPod Touch, it does not appear on there at all. It all started when I decided to put a Playlist I created in the iTunes Library and transferred it on to my iPod. Do you know why it may affected my syncing process and is there any way where I could get the syncing function back to normal so that I can continue adding songs on my iPod? Thank you for listening. P.S. My iPod iOS version is 4.3.5.

I get error message iTunes could not sync calendars to iPhone because an error occurred while merging data on my wifes phone how do you correct problem without losing calendars info on phone.

One thing that might help.
1. open itunes preferences from the edit menu and click on the devices tab.
2. check the box to disable syncing for iphones connected to itunes and click ok.
3. Then click the button to reset sync history.
4. Now click ok to close the preferences window.
5. connect the iphone to itunes and go to the info tab.
6. scroll to the bottom of the info page and check the box to replace the ical data on the iphone.
7. then click apply on the bottom right of itunes.
This will overwrite any events on the iphone, including any events that has become corrupted.
Hope this helps

Hi Centreless,
If you have difficulty with your iPad not being able to connect to iTunes in order to sync, you may want to try the troubleshooting steps in this article -

My iPod doesn't sync it keeps coming up with the message "The iPod 'iPod Nano' cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019)." What does this mean and how can I fix it.

I am getting the same error message. Have you figured it out?

I have an Ipod Classic, one day he appears without music, now that i want to sync with my itunes an error occur. I download all the new itunes version and ipod software but again error. How do I make it work?

My ipod classic, have these problem:
One day I find out that all the music was completely gone, I always charged the ipod on Ihome.
So, I connect the ipod to my computer to sync the music, but mi computer recognize the ipod as a memory device. so delete itunes from my computer, following some support guides that i found in the mac support web. Again, it didnt work. The itunes doesnt detect it.
then I try to sync on a macbook, then it told it was corrupted i should restore th ipod, i try it but this could not be done... cause an error occur.
How I can restore my ipod...

Does both your Windows and Macbook iTunes have the same library of songs?
if it does then, much easier to proceed, else try to load the Macbook with the same library as Windows.
Note that only one of the Macbook USB port is good for iPod Classic, the other is too slow and may cause timeout, and I would suggest disconnect all other USB devices, while you Restore or Sync the iPod Classic.
Connect the iPod to the Mac, (if iTunes launch, please close it back.)
Use Disk Utility -> select the iPod Device->First Aid->Repair (use option FAT32)
After the Repair complete, eject the iPod.
Connect back to the Mac
When iTunes launch, Restore the iPod when Prompted, (use FAT32)
Sync your library.
Good Luck!

I keep getting an error message that says "the ipod cannot not be synced""an unknown error occured (13019).

I keep getting an error message that says "the ipod cannot not be synced""an unknown error occured (13019). I am trying to put albums on to my ipod by dragging and dropping. I have it set to manually manage music and videos. The albums appear in the music section under Devices, but they don't appear on my actual ipod.
I have never had any problems doing this before, only in the last few days.

I am having the exact same issue as you are with my iPod nano. This started happening the same day after I updated the iPod software, so I wonder if it is a bug within the software that Apple needs to resolve. I dragged 3 playlists of new music from my iTunes over to my iPod and sometime while it was trying to add those songs, the error 13019 popped up. Another note, which may not be related at all, was that iTunes told me at some point during this process (I believe before the error notification, but I'm not sure and that may be helpful to know) that I did not have enough room on the iPod to copy all of the songs, but it would copy as many as it could. What is curious, like in your situation, is now all the songs it supposedly copied appear to be on the iPod under the Device->iPod->Music label in iTunes when it is plugged into my computer, the playlists in question are also showing up there, and it does indeed say my memory is full under the iPod's general tab in iTunes. However, when going through my actual iPod when it is not plugged in, none of those songs or playlists are anywhere to be found.
Anyways, all the established solutions to the 13019 error do not apply to this situation, as my iPod has always been set to manually managed so "unchecking" the Sync Music option under the Music tab of the iPod and rechecking it will not work because it was never checked in the first place. And voice memos are obviously not applicable since we are not talking about an iPhone failing to sync music.
Unless anyone can provide a new solution here, I may just have to take my computer and iPod up to the genius bar. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

When I try to sync my iPod Touch it says, "The iPod "[ipod name here] cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019)." This is a huge problem. its been happening for some time now. Help me please?

Every single time, it'll do the regular sync thing then a little pop up comes up and says "The iPod "[ipod name here]" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019)." ***? I have searched all over for troubleshooting help. I'm exhauseted. Can anyone help me with this pestering problem? I've lost all the music that I bought on my iPod because it didn't sync up with my computer and when it tried to, it took everything away. Help <3 ?

I have searched all over for troubleshooting help.
Doublechecking. In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

Hi, my iPod touch has been unable to sync since downloading the new cloud software. It says: An error occurred while restoring this iPod (-34) So my music is not on it. it doesn't have 3G so the cloud is pointless anyway. Music is all I use on it.

Hi, my iPod touch has been unable to sync since downloading the new cloud software. It says: An error occurred while restoring this iPod (-34) So my music is not on it. The apps are still on it. It doesn't have 3G so the cloud is pointless anyway. It just said it was a software update, I should have avoided it. Music is all I use on it so help me please!

Error 20, 21, 34, 37: These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. If you are using a PC, follow this article to resolve this issue.

Ipod cannot be synced unknown error occured (-48)

_Help needed please!_
I've just got a new laptop, downloaded the latest version of itunes on it, connected my ipod to it (old click wheel version 20GB) and this error message keeps popping up:
*'The ipod "ipods name" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured. (-48)'*
I've never had a problem with my ipod or itunes before, but now this error keeps occuring and it won't let me add any music to my ipod or remove any music from my ipod.
I preferably don't want to restore my ipod because i don't have all the music on it on my new laptop, so I'd lose a lot. I gather syncing the ipod will match what's in the itunes library to the actual ipod? I don't want to do this anyway as I have nothing in my itunes library & i don't want the music that is on my ipod removed, so i'm very confused....
*Anyone have any ideas of what i should do?????*

Your iPod will mimic your iTunes so if there is no music in the library it will wipe the other music that you have on there off so if you don't want to lose the music its probably not a good idea to connect it
as for the error
the same thing happened to mine for a while when i first got my ipod it would sync 250 songs or so and then come up with the same thing.

IPod won't sync - "Itunes could not copy (name of song) to the ipod (name of ipod) Because an unknown error occurred (-53)"

I recently bought a used iPod Classic (my previous one was stolen). I still had my iTunes library on my computer so I was just going to hook it up and sync my library over, replacing what was on there from the previous user. When I first hooked it up to my computer (Windows 7 64-bit) there was a message saying the drivers were not installed properly. I un-plugged it, and plugged it back in to the same result. I tried 1 more time and didn't get the error message. I then opened iTunes and clicked on the iPod. I checked for updates, then clicked "Restore this iPod". Next, I set it up to sync music, and the sync began. It seemed to work for a while, the "Syncing iPod" message was displayed at the top, and it said it was copying songs over. It did this for about 10 minutes before I finally got the following message:
"Itunes could not copy (name of song) to the ipod (name of ipod) Because an unknown error occurred (-53)"
After that happens, everything seems to freeze up. iTunes says it's still syncing, but nothing ever seems to happen. If I click the eject button, nothing happens either. I eventually have to just disconnect the iPod. The iPod seems frozen for a while, then it seems to reboot itself (the gray apple window displays), then the interface displays and I can get to the songs on there. But, only a very small portion of my library makes it to the iPod. I've tried several times now and it always seems to be the same songs that DO make it onto the iPod. However, it's a different song listed in the error message each time, so it doesn't seem to be just 1 song causing the problem. Also, once I hook the iPod back to the computer, Windows displays a message prompting me to scan the drive and fix errors. I did it once and it said it found some errors and fixed them.
I saw this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3924425
and some people were suggesting removing everything from your library then re-adding it, in case the paths were messed up. I tried that and still got the same results. I also updated iTunes to the latest version, and I've tried different USB ports and 2 different USB cables.
I also found instructions for a batch file you can run that, I believe, updates the iTuens DLLs, I did that as well but it did not help: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1539
What else can I try to fix this?

bump (if that's allowed)
