The ipod cannot be synced, an unknown error (13014) ocurred - this is the error message I am getting when I am trying to transfer purchases from iPod. Problem is unless I transfer I am failing to update my IPod touch to iOS 6.0.1

I need to update from 4.3.3 to 6.0.1 so that my apps can take in relevant updates and brun properly. However, update is failing midway on error -5000 and the only way seems to be transferring purchases on ipod to itunes as being suggested by onscreen prompt just when I am undertaking the update. Problem is I can't even do the trabsfer as IPod wouldn't sync properly....error 13014. Has anyone come across this before and resolved it successfully?

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Ipod cannot be synced. Unknown error (-48)

I've had my 80 gig ipod classic for 4 months now, and I've had very few problems with it. Whenever I've had an issue with iTunes not recognizing the ipod when I plugged it in, it was easily resolved with a reset or reinstalling iTunes, or restarting the computer. However, today when I went to add some new files to my ipod, I had to install the newest version, 1.1.1, and after installing that version and trying to sync the files to my ipod, iTunes simply refused. Repeatedly I'd get the error "Ipod cannot be synced. Unknown error (-48). I've been browsing this site and others to find an answer, I've tried all the standard ipod fixes (five Rs) and toggled with the syncing options, namely syncing only checked songs and manual sync, and it won't load any new music either way. I have Windows XP home edition on a Sony Vaio that's a few years old, and I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me fix this issue with my ipod.
<edit>
Another thing I've noticed is that when I leave my ipod plugged into my computer, the "other" part of what's on my ipod increases slowly. There's actually more of this orange "other" data on my ipod than music, and there's absolutely nothing on my ipod except a few thousand music files and two videos. At least, there shouldn't be.

Oh yes, me too. Two days ago I bought my 160GB iPod Classic, but I have not been able to put anything in it. First the sync seemed to take hours (ca.6GB/1400 songs) and finally I had to disconnect without eject, because the iTunes and my computer got jammed. Again and again the same thing. Unknown error (-48) I recall.
Then after updating the iPod software (now 1.1.1) and reinstalling the iTunes a couple of times, the iTunes does not recognise my iPod at all. iPod says first it is syncing, then just connected, but nothing in iTunes.
Like a kid with who has a brand new toy, but is not able to play with it.
I tried calling the Apple support, but they just dodged the question and apparently had no idea. Anyone, how can I get some music into my brand new iPod?

The iPhone cannot be synced. Unknown error (13019) - anyone run into this?

Stephen's got you covered.
I've also seen the following reported cause/workaround:
After several Google searches I found the iPad syncing problem to be caused by iPhoto 9.4 not handling the & correctly in names. It's not recognizing them as & which is causing problems with XML. You can manually change them or wait for Apple to issue a fix to iPhoto 9.4. I started to do the manual fix & I just have too many to change.
(Manual renaming isn't going to be an easy/good workaround for a bunch of folks, though.)

No music after 3.0 upg.: cannot be synced an unknown error occurred (-208)

Upgraded my iPhone 3G to 3.0. All went smoothly and everything seems to be working fine. Only issue was that my music had disappeared. Went on to resync it but iTunes shows that the music is still there - but I cannot do anything with it: cannot add to it, cannot delete it, etc. Suspect files are fine but library is corrupt. Was hoping that adding or deleting a song would force a library reindexing but no luck.
"the iphone "name" cannot be synced an unknown error occurred (-208)"
Any suggestion on how to resolve this (outside of a device reset...)?
Thanks in advance.

The software can be found on Download.com, it's Ipod Copy 7.47. It's $20, but works perfectly.

I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error.

I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error. (-50). my icloud drive was stuck in an upgrade cycle, but i've stopped that and still get the error message.

I restarted itunes and tried again (based on a similar question/solution from 2012).
I don't get the error message anymore, but it's really sort of odd that after step one of sync, it looks as if sync stopped, and then all of a sudden you see step 4 of sync.
Also before the upgrade I had 7+ gigs of space free and after the upgrade I have 10 gigs free. seems like something is amiss, but it's not like I have anyway of determining that.

The Ipod "Name's Ipod" cannot be Synced. Unknown Error occured (-48).

This is the error message I have been getting for the past two weeks while trying to add music to my Ipod. I have tried repairing itunes, installing updates as they come, even reinstalling itunes and doing system restores. It seems nothing is working. Friends have suggested using different USB slots, restarting the computer while Ipod is still connected and again nothing is working. So anyone know what to do?

I am getting an error message of I/O operation error, when trying to sync my iPod. I have been having this problem since July when I updated to iTunes 7.7. After contacting Apple on numerous occasions, including driving over 50 miles one way to an Apple store to have some dead-behind-the-eyes kid tell me that he doesn't know why it won't work, I am still having difficulties syncing.
I have contacted Windows, since it was their error message, and was told that an I/O message is in regards to the outside device that I am trying to sync, which eliminates my PC from this equation. I am also able to successfully sync my old 4GB mini and my wife's nano without any issue. I believe that my Classic is not giving my PC the correct driver that it requires to connect and sync.
I have been going on almost 2 months without my iPod (what a waste of money!!!!)Please...somebody help, because it's pretty apparent that Apple could care less!!!!!
