Sync unknown error 1140

I am trying to sync my iMac to my iPad 3 and I get an error message Cannot sync unknown error 1140.

I reveiwed the albums I had named in iPhoto and found one with a "&" and one with a "/" in the title.  I changed those to an "_" and the ipad synced fine.

  • Getting "unable to sync - unknown error (1140) on iPhone and iPad.

    Yesterday, I got a message when trying to sync my iPhone 4S - "unable to sync, unknown error (1140).  After several unsuccessful attempts, I did a complete restore on my iPhone (took forever!).  Today, plugging in my iPad mini, I get the same error.  This looks like an Apple problem to me.  Any suggestions before I think about doing a complete restore on my iPad?

    If you haven't done so already, update iPhoto on your Mac. You might want to consider updating the OS to 10.6.8 if you haven't already done so.

    I installed iOs 6 on my New iPad. After that every time I try to synchronize the New iPad with my iMac I get the message: "This iPad can not be synchronized; an unknown error (1140)".
    What do I have to do to get the iPad sychronized?

    All my iTunes content is on the new Mini, but my iPad is trying (unsuccessfully) to sync to the iMac.
    How do you know? Nothing identifies which computer it is syncing with...
    Is the iMac still on the network?
    Have you connected the iPad to the Mac mini via USB and sync'd it?

    Hello Ventanilla 97,
    I agree with planb77 with recreating your itunes library. That will fix your issue. If you would like more step by step info go here:

  • How to fix "Sync encountered an error while syncing:Unknown error."

    In mid July, after the firefox update, I had decided to close firefox like I usually do before I open the client for my MMORPG Aion, so I did. I end up not turning on firefox for a few days and when I did my bookmarks were gone as well as my toolbar bookmarks and my history. I start to wonder what happened and then I realised that there was a grey bar at the bottom of my browser stating, "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action.." I had no idea why this would happen as I never had this problem before so I look at the firefox support database but since I'm quite the greenhorn when it comes to programming there was only so much I could understand. I did try looking for corrupt or locked profiles but I saw none. Now as of today it's going on 2 months since the problem began and just today I recieved the firefox 32.0 update but still have this problem so I'm at my wits end and I not sure if I'll ever get it working again. Also my sync account is the one under the new system I had updated a few days before the problem began it also seems to be working on my other devices. Im lost without my bookmarks please help.

    Hi crogs571
    The first sync report shows an error with the history:
    <pre><nowiki>1415979204255 Sync.Status DEBUG Status for engine history: error.engine.reason.record_upload_fail

  • Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error.

    Bookmarks vanished on multiple computers.
    Error message on all platforms: Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error.
    Android device seems unaffected. Attempts to re-sync good data from android device have no effect.
    I filed a bug report but after over 15 days it was marked as a duplicate and rolled into another bug report.
    The solutions there are way (WAY) beyond my technical level of expertise, and look to be for the unix OS.
    Something about a corrupt root.
    I've been very reluctant to clear my sync data, because the impression I get is that I'll lose all my bookmarks. The entire reason I started using Sync was to back them up!
    Computer1: Win7 enterprise sp1, 64bit. Firefox 17.0.1
    Computer2: Win7 enterprise sp1, 64bit. Firefox 17.0.1
    Android device: Dell Streak7 Android 3.2 Firefox 17.0

    If you've lost bookmarks then you should make a backup copy of the JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder.

    Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

  • When i tried to sync my ipod it said "cannot sync. unknown error has occured(-39)

    when i tried to sync my ipod it said "cannot sync. unknown error has occured(-39)"  how do I fix it??

    Are you syncing photos to the ipod? If so, the -39 in this context can sometimes indicate a damaged photo cache. Are you able to sync if you delete your existing photo cache? To find it, see the following document:

  • "Sync encoutered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action."

    Hi,
    I want to switch from Chrome to Firefox but I have an issue with the Sync feature.
    It always shows the following error: "Sync encoutered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action."
    I already tried this workaround but it did not work: delete my Sync account, completely reset my Firefox profile, import my Chrome bookmarks (using an HTML file), setup a new Sync account (using the same address email then the previously deleted one).
    But I still get the error message.
    I've seen in other threads that it could be an issue with the history so I also tried to delete it but it did not work either.
    Here is my last sync-log file: https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8219943
    Thanks for your help.

    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.

  • I get the error message in Firefox 5 "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action."

    Hello Firefox support. I just started working on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine running Firefox 5 and am constantly getting the following Sync error: "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action." I can't find an accurate solution on the web. Please help!

    Exact same error message here here. Haven't checked our other systems. This one is:

  • Firefox 4 BETA Sync Glitch: Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error.

    I have a screen shot but no where to send it to? The error says (and it's been repeated multiple times) Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action BUTTON: Sync Now" Clicked button multiple times over an hour... no use. :) (hope this helps)
    Less a question than a feedback about the program. :)
    I realize it will likely be fixed innately, but wanted it to be reported, as I wish to help out the BETA test. *loyal Test Pilot*
    Thanks!

    I'm running FF4.0.1 and still have this problem

  • Received an error message "sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error"

    For 2 days now, I have received a message at the bottom of my browser stating "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action." I have tried to change my sync settings but that has not worked. I would appreciate assistance with this issue. Thank you.

  • Firefox 6 Linux - Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error.

    Linux (Ubuntu 11.04).
    Firefox 6.
    The syncing doesn't work anymore. This message is displayed at the bottom all the time:
    "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action."
    Retrying doesn't help.

    I had some luck doing the following - Go to https://account.services.mozilla.com/ and login using your sync info. Find the link to Clear Cache data and clear your sync cache (first time failed, then worked). Then do a manual sync to get back in sync. Seems to have cleared up my issue for the time being.

    I think I managed to fix this.
    Go to [https://account.services.mozilla.com/ your sync account], log in, and click clear your sync data.
    Then click the Sync now button on the error message.
    The error went away for me.
