Syncing problem. Major Error. Help!

Im trying to sync my music on to my ipad and then it says that it cannot sync to my ipad because of an internal device error.
I dont know what to do.

Hmmm, we might have a problem then if iTunes says it cannot find your music.
To give you a brief explanation of how itunes works:
iTunes shows you your music. This music is going to be stored in a folder called "iTunes Music". iTunes creates a database file that points the iTunes software to where the music is located. So if you uninstall iTunes it will not delete your music as well, your music is still on your computer because it was never really "in" iTunes. iTunes just points to where it is so it can be played.
However, if you are getting messages that your music cannot be found then you may have a serious problem. Can you play the music on your computer through iTunes without any problems?
if so, then there is a problem with iTunes talking to the iPad. If you restore the iPad and this still happens then you have a problem with iTunes. At that point I would recommend reinstalling the iTunes application. That should clear up the problem, if not then I am not too sure what to tell you to do next.

  • I just erased all my contacts on accident while trying to fix an ical syncing problem.  Please help!

    Hello There,
    I have NO idea what just happened.  I am trying to stay calm here.  Please help.
    I have been trying to fix the fact that my iphone calendar isn't sending info to my ical on my MacBook Pro.  I followed some instructions I found in a forum and then unplugged my phone haphazardly by not ejecting it from iTunes... I just pulled it off the cord and all my contacts erased in a blink of an eye.  Here's the instructions I followed.  Please tell me how I can get them back!  Can I call AT&T? BTW... the instructions didn't fix the ical problem either.
    (These are the instructions I tried from http://iphonewriter.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-to-fixing-ical-iphone-sync-issues.h tml) I added my own sidenote in Bold.
    Here's the down and dirty fix:
    Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
    Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
    Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
    Re-Open the iCal application and Import (File -> Import) a new calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier. Once completed, close the iCal application (you should have all of your calendar entries back.) 
    ***When I re-opened ical nothing was gone but I followed the following steps anyways.***
         5.  Open the iTunes application and connect your Apple iPhone to the computer.
         6.  Within the Advanced section of the Info tab for the Apple iPhone, check the box the overwrites/replaces the Calendar data on the Apple iPhone.
         7.  Click the Apple/Sync button. New, modified and deleted entries should now be syncing correctly.
    That's it! You should be all set and iTunes, iCal and our Apple iPhone should all be playing nicely as friends again. We've used the exact method to repair our own Apple iPhone at least once... maybe even twice.

    Hi,
    Can't you restore your iPhone via iTunes and use the "restore from last backup". I know when I has my phone replaced this copied all my contacts (from my last sync)back to my phone.
    Hope that helps

  • Ipad 2 syncing problem.. please help..

    i have recently bought an ipad 2.. earlier it would sync when i connected it to itunes however now it doesnt. i hv downloaded new apps into itunes that are not gettin transferred to the ipad.. the ipad is gettin detected and when i press sync den it whizzes through the apps but doesnt transfer the new ones. what can i do?

    Can you try following to see how things behave:
    1) wirelessly add a new app to the iPad
    2) connect the iPad to the MacBook with iTunes running
    3) select the iPad and go to the Apps tab
    4) select Sort by Name for the apps list and scroll to where the new app should appear
    5) move to the home screen containing the new app
    6) perform a Sync
    I saw 6 phases during my test. During the 3rd phase I saw the new app being copied over. You should see "Copying xyzapp..." type messages. During or after this phase, the new app should show up in the apps list and it should appear with a check mark. Is this what you see?
    My guess is that an error is occurring in one of the steps prior to the app copy phase and that phase is being skipped. Maybe iTunes later checks the app list and not seeing an entry for the app, removes it from the iPad.
    One other test to try is, if possible reinstall the app wirelessly (you should be able to get to it through the Purchased list in the App store) or get another app. Do the Transfer Purchases menu option. This should place it on the apps list with it checked. It you do a Sync, it should leave the app on the iPad. If the transfer purchases does not work, then the problem should be just with that process.
    I would say try to use your free phone support contact if you are eligible as no part of your sync process should be failing. Hopefully you will eventually get to someone that can guide you through pinpointing the exact point of failure.

  • Sync problem...HELP!

    Just installed itunes 10.5 on my pc so I could try to upgrade my ipad2 with the ios5. Once 10.1 was installed, and computer restarted, I started Itunes and connected my Ipad2 and It tells me the following message: This Ipad cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started.
    Prior to the Itunes 10.5 update, it synced just fine. How do I correct this? NEXT, I cant figure out how to perform the IOS 5 update on my Ipad.
    Any help will be appreciated.

  • Lotus Notes 8 Calendar Sync Problem (Application Error)

    I am seeing an Application Error of the Desktop Manager v4.6 when I try to sync my Lotus Notes 8 calendar DesktopMgr.exe - Application Error:  exception unknown software execption (0xc000000d) occurred in application at location 0x082b31dd).  The problem started suddenly when I had v4.3, so I upgraded hoping the error will resolve itself but it did not.
    I had this problem before and I think it was related to a calendar entry that had attachments.  When I deleted the calendar entry, the problem went away.  
    So now I am trying to locate the calendar entry when I force a one way sync from Lotus Notes to my 8830.  I looked at the log and it states the last calendar entry it read, so I deleted it and tried syncing again without success.  The number of records read is one less than before I removed the calendar entry.
    So how do locate the calendar entry that maybe causing the problem?  What view in my Notes 8 mail does DM use to analyze my calendar entries? 
    .... Leo

    Hello,
    Well, I have just performed the update to the suggested PC Suite version and rebooted my PC.
    Conclusion : exactly the same problem is happening.
    I had a calendar entry whose description field was 2131 characters (including spaces). PC Suite failed to replicate the calendar and always failed with the following message : "Synchronization Completed, 0 entries have been updated". When looking in the replication log, you would find a "pc sync information" stating "PC Sync has encountered a problem and has terminated the synchronization", and another entry stating "The Synchronization has been aborted by the user".
    If I truncate manually in Lotus Notes (8) this calendar entry to a much smaller description, then the synchronization succeeds.
    This problem has been present since many releases of PC Suite. I hope Nokia will fix and once and for all !!!
    I'm working at IBM, and I'm consulted by many colleagues who recognize me as their "technology" advisor. Up to today I must say that I have not been actively promoting Nokia as replication with Lotus Notes as always been suffering many issues. Compared to Windows Mobile devices or even Palm, it has no chance at all, as these devices do have GREAT synchronization capabilities with Lotus Notes.

  • Sync Problem: "Intellisync error code - 0x80040fb3"

    Hello -
    I just got my computer back from a service group after a crash, but all seems to be working properly except Desktop Sync.  I get the error in the Subject bar once it tries to sync Contacts.
    I've viewed KB14818, but here's my hesitation:  The step involving Wiping the Device!
    I've been updating things in the device only for the last 4 weeks due to the crash and the concept of wiping all that frightens me.  Will it all be restored from the Device backup files on my PC?
    Notes: 
    - I HAVE backed up the device onto my PC (via the Desktop Software)
    - I have performed the search for empty Email (1) field and there were none
    - This is a Storm 9550
    - Device Software:  v5.0.0.1015 (bundle 1656, platform 4.5.0.442)
    - Desktop Software:  6.0.1.18 released December 6, 2010 (bundle 21)
    - I'm, using Outlook 2007
    Is it safe to do this?!!!
    Thank you,

  • Texas Holdem Sync Problem. Please Help Me!!

    I purchased texas holdem last year. I have had to reinstall the operating system on my laptop and now itunes will not transfer the game back to the ipod. Everything else has been transfered. Can anyone help?

    Are you getting any error messages when you try to sync the game to your iPod?
    Also, are you sure that it is selected to sync to your iPod, under the "Games" tab, when you click on your iPod's name in the Source List of iTunes?

  • ITunes to iPod Syncing problem. PLEASE HELP!!

    I own an MacBook Pro and a 60GB iPod (both of which are about a year old) I'm running iTunes 7.2 (34), OSX 10.4.10, and iPod SW 1.2.1 for Macintosh.
    Up until about a week ago my entire library of music of 6205 songs synced nicely to my iPod.
    Recently I got an error message: "Some of the songs in your iTunes library, including “<Song Name>”, were not copied to iPod “<iPod Name>” because they cannot be played on this iPod." - 112 total problems, with a list of about 63 song titles under the message.
    Well the first thing I did was look up a few of these songs to see if they played in iTunes, and the did, they were ALL MPEG audio files (MP3), ALL encoded with iTunes v7.1 at 192 kbps. - So I figured I needed to restore the ipod, basically just a waste of time.
    After the restore I got the same message. That's when I decided I had to transcribe the list of songs from the error message and create a playlist of these songs that needed to be fixed. I then figured I'd convert them to AAC files. From the advanced tab in the import section of the preferences i changed the encoder to AAC and under the advanced menu in iTunes, i converted these songs to AAC.
    When I synced the iPod after that, I got the same message, ONLY now a whole NEW set of songs, some of which i had listened to ON my iPod just yesterday!
    So, does my iPod just have a problem with my taste in music, or am I overlooking something? I am really getting nowhere with this one.
    Thanks in advance, to anyone who can shed some light.

    It's certainly not true that only the newer iPods support mp3s. There seems to have been a number of problems with 7.2 and the release of the non-drm tracks from iTunes. It most often crops up with tracks that started out in life as drm tracks purchased through the iTunes store that were subseqently converted to non-drm tracks. Depending on how they were added to the library, it appears that iTunes thinks they are still the drm tracks but corrupted. Deggie's suggestion has worked for most folks, as best I can tell.
    Best of luck.

  • Iphone 5 music sync problem. Please help me.

    Hi Friends,
    First of all, I apologize for my mistakes in English.
    I need some help. I can not transfer music to iphone 5.
    I bought the new iphone 5 and have it active on icloud. I did not choose as a new iphone. Then I wanted to take the music, but it seems to be taking during synchronization (bottom color bars) after becoming firstly thrown.
    I transfered ipad via itunes but I can not transfer it to iPhone.  Under the iphone  device icon in the left menu , all songs  seems to be inactive.
    (Pieces of music icons on the left of the circular seems to be incomplete and not listened , but the ipad seems to be a full-circle icon at the bottom, and all of them listened to the music folder)
    I've tried everything but it did not. I wonder if there is something wrong like not allowed to be two of the same device to the same music? I do not understand. Ring tones, etc. photos ,everything OK. but the music.
    I would like to help those information.
    Thanks

    Thanks to LarryHN and Old Toad, my problems are nearly over, I hope.
    I did the repair and, thankfully, my missing photos are back.
    However, I now have about 100 photos which are on my iPhone 4s camera roll and when I plug the phone in, it says that it has already imported them, but I can't find them in iPhoto!
    I can see the pictures on the mac when the phone is plugged in and I look on the iphone, but I cant see where they are.
    Do you think that having photostream has complicated matters at all?
    Also, why does the photo stream on my phone (and ipad) show more photos than the photostream folder fir Nov 2013 in iphoto? Is there a delay in appearing in iphoto?
    Finally, about 3 out of 5 times, iphoto becomes really slow and stops responding, requiring a force quit. Any ideas why this is and how to fix it?
    THis is a great forum, thanks to everyone for help so far.

  • Itunes syncing problem...HELP!

    Hello! I've got a REALLY annoying problem with my iPhone currently, out of nowhere it is crashing when syncing on step 2 the backup stage, I've looked through possible suggestions, tried numerous things but cant find a solution! Any ideas!?

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes, Sync and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Syncing Problem - Unknown Error (-48)

    All of a sudden my ipod has displayed this syncing error when I plug it into itunes. It's never done this before. Is there a way to fix this?

    Have you tried restoring your iPod? Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes
