Resolution
Note: If you have an iPod shuffle you may need to use the iPod Reset Utility to restore the iPod. If you are not sure which iPod you have, see Identifying iPod models.
To troubleshoot this issue, try the following solutions in this order:
Disconnect and reconnect your iPod to iTunes, and then attempt to restore or update the iPod again.
Restart your computer and then attempt to restore or update the iPod again.
Try connecting your iPod to a different USB port, and then attempt to restore or update the iPod again. Connecting to a USB 2.0 port is recommended. For Windows computers, refer to Identifying USB 2.0 ports on your computer for instructions.
Remove any USB devices not manufactured by Apple that you have connected to your computer (it is not necessary to remove your keyboard or mouse). Then, attempt to restore or update the iPod again.
Update to the latest version of iTunes, and then attempt to restore or update the iPod again.
Try to restore or update the iPod again using a different user account for your computer. For example, create a new test user account on the computer with admin rights, and with iTunes installed, try to restore/update the iPod. For instructions on how to do this, follow steps under the heading "Restore using a new user account" inthis article.
Try disabling Disk Use on your iPod and attempt to restore or update the iPod again. If that doesn't work, try enabling Disk Use on your iPod and attempt to restore/update. Refer to Putting iPod into Disk Mode for instructions.
If using a Windows PC to restore or update your iPod, try to reregister ".dll" files as described under "Solution 1" in iTunes displays -50 error message when syncing iPod on Windows XP
If using a Windows PC, try to update or reinstall your Windows USB drivers, referring to the section titled "iPod only: Updating, or in some cases reinstalling, the drivers for your computer's USB interface may resolve this issue."
Cheers,
Allen

My 4th gen ipod touch wont sync only check marked songs, how do i fix that?

I just got a 4th gen. ipod touch. it works fine everything is great on it but when i try to sync only check marked songs onto it from itunes it wont sync any songs at all. I thought i solved the problem when i clicked "autofill" in the music tab under "my devices" but all that did was randomly put songs on my ipod. i went to the settings and unchecked "choose items randomly" and tried again but it did the same thing. i know its not my computer cuz the same thing was happening with my old ipod. i have "sync only checked songs" marked but it just wont work. PLEASE HELP ME!!

My Older IPod won't sync all of sudden.. gives error message

My Ipod used to sync just fine, but I hadn't used it for a few weeks and when I went to sync, it wouldn't. I've made sure that all the software was updated and even reset my Ipod so it was just like when I bought it. It started to sync but would only sync 1700 of my 7000 soungs... each time I plug it in, it says its syncing, it will only sync about 50 songs before I get an error message that says.. The IPod "Solymar IPod" cannot be synced. A duplicate file name specified. and then another error message that says... Attempting to copy to the disk "Solymars I" failed. An unknown error occurred (-69). It also says that there are 2 Devices plugged, my IPod and IPad, but my IPad isn't plugged in. HELP!!! And thank you!!

Hey solymarmarengo,
Thanks for the question. The following resource lists your error message as a symptom of issues with third-party plug-ins, it may provide a resolution:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3430
There are several ways an add-on can cause iTunes to act erratically, such as those listed below:
- You see this alert while syncing: "... cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."

HT4714 i cant export my video to any of the destinations on my list.. it keeps saying QuickTime Error -50 what do i do cuz if i cant use it i want my money back

i cant export my video into anything i keep getting a QuickTime Error -50

Unfortunately, these boards have too many similar complaints.
There are variety of things that seem to cause these exporting failures. Most seem to relate to corrupted clips. Here's a list of fixes that have worked to solve some of the reported problems.
First it's worthwhile to trash preferences; use this app.
Turn off Background Rendering.
From within FCP, delete project render files and event render files. Select a short section and export without rendering. If it works, export the full project. If it doesn't work…
Create a new project. Copy the old project and paste into the new project. Export a short test and if it exports. export the full project. If that doesn't work…
Create a new user account.
Good luck.

While it is connected in iTunes, click on your iPod in the Source Frame under devices and then check the Summary tab in the frame to your right. At the bottom, under options, do you have it set to Manually Manage your music?

I just bought a new CD and I imported the songs to my iTunes but when I want to sync them to my IPod they wont sync? Why is this?

I just bought a new CD and I imported the songs to my iTunes but when I want to sync them to my IPod they wont sync? Why is this?

Yes they play in itunes and yes I did use the iTumes imports CD feature. Im listening to the songs from the CD right now from my iTunes but they just don't sync to my IPOD Touch when I want to sync?

I transfered music from my ipod to a new itunes library (new PC). The music plays in itunes but when I sync my ipod and try to drag songs from the itunes library to the ipod it wont load. It shows a circle with aline through it.

Have you selected manually manage music?

Now it keeps saying that it is restored but there is still no music or video on it. And a new error is coming up that says "We could not complete your iTunes store request.The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

In itune did you play any of the songs downloaded. If so plug your ipod back in an manualy check off to sync all music. If that doesn't work you might have to restore the ipod.

All of a sudden, my ipod touch will only recognize/play purchased items. I then have to completely reset the ipod and re-sync. I've had to do this 6 times, and support has been no help.

So you also rebooted your router correct? Does the iPod still connect okay to other networks?

Hi I Have an Ipod classic.My problem is that the Ipod seems to sync music ok but I have a number of podcasts downloaded to itunes but these don't sync to the ipod,(they have in the past,but no longer). Has anyone any suggestions please ?

hi gary
have you tried to sync your ipod ,when you click on the side where it shows your ipod?
Click on where it shows your ipod name for example garys ipod,when it opens up the summary page click the sync box,bottom right,and see if that helps.
In the summary page click on podcasts,click the box on sync podcast box (top),read before when the box opens and says are you sure you want sync podcasts.,theres a box underneath,which says automatically include ,make sure thats ticked.
hope this may help madforit

I purchased a video from iTunes but it will not sync to my iPod. I get a message stating that the video "was not loaded to the iPod because iyt cannot be played on this iPod." I tried to use the "create an iPod version" but the command is grayed out

I was refering to the "sample rate", normally 44.1 KHz, the iPod might not be able to play tracks with a non-standard rate. Otherwise I'm not sure what the issue might be.

I am trying to sync my 160gb, but get an error message "the ipod cannot be synced. a duplicate file name was specified. it only syncs a small % of music. any clues?

Hmm. It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

If necessary, post the resultings numbers and we can verify what the next steps to take.
