The iPod "prokill00's iPod" cannot be synced....

I'm trying to sync my iPod with my library and get my photos on my iPod. The message keeps popping up. The iPod "prokill00's iPod" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.
what does this mean, and how could i go about fixing this, this has never happened to me before and i have had it synced before. Is there something i have to change on the iPod or on the iTunes?
-Brian

I've read the answer to that here somewhere....perhaps it was changing the iPod's drive letter?

  • "The iPod '...' cannot be synced. The disk is locked and cannot be written to."

    Hello.
    I keep getting this "The iPod '...' cannot be synced. The disk is locked and cannot be written to." error when I try to sync my 11 GB of music from my very old, updated Windows XP Pro SP3 machine to an old iPod Touch 1G (iOS v3.1.3). It has a brand new (lat/new)est iTunes installation too. I tried rebooting the the machine, disconnecting USB cables, etc. None of them helped. I did not have this problem in the end of 2013. Is my iPod Touch 1G dying?
    Thank you in advance.

    I did a reset since I had to restore v3.1.3 firmware and reconfigure from a Mac OS X 10.5.8 MBP before I ran into problems. Isn't that enough? Or do I have to do it again? Also, these were brand new installations and setups for iTunes and iPod Touch 1G. So, I am doing everything from scratch.
    I also found out that iTunes wants full (not read) access to my shared medias in my very old, updated Windows XP Pro SP3 machine. When I gave them full access, then I got farther, but it still failed later on (almost half way since 5 out of 11 GB according to math with disk spaces on both iTunes and iOS v3.1.3?) I didn't use Mac OS X 10.5.8's iTunes (only kept it for whited00r firmware part) for syncing since all my media is on the other machine.

  • Itunes wont sync nano, error The iPod " _ _ _ " cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified.

    The iPod “ _ _ _ “ cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified.

    The solution i found to this problem is have windows hard drive recovery tool scan and repair the hard drive on you ipod. To do this, you need to configure itunes so it does not open when you plug in you ipod. Next, plug in your ipod, for windows 7 user a pop up should come up asking to scan and fix device. click yes and give it some time. after the tool in complete unplug you ipod, open itunes, plug your ipod in. if you still get the message, click restore, and start this process on more time. If you do not have windows seven or this pop-up does not appear manually go to you hard recover tool and have it scan your ipod. then follow the rest of the process.

  • "The iPhone "Dani's iPhone" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be f

    Can anyone PLEASE shed some light and - hopefully - help me... I used to be able to sync my iPhone with iTunes no problem... dead easy.
    However, for some unknown reason - total mystery - all of a sudden it's started to 'refuse me'. Now, when I connect up, the things seems to go all through the motions of syncing, but at the end I finally get the following message:
    "The iPhone "Dani's iPhone" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found".
    Funny thing is that after disconnecting, the thing does actually seem to have successfully synced!!!
    It's a mystery, a puzzle... can anyone help? I don't know what is meant by "The required file cannot be found". What's happening?
    Has anyone else encountered this problem and have they managed to solve it? If so, please, PLEASE... HOW?
    Thanks,
    Dani

    Hello NottiCaldo,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I would start by trashing your iPod's Photo cache as described in this Apple support document.

  • The IPhone " 3 drea 3" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found

    i updated the software on my iphone last night to the 2.0 and when i tried to sync my phone to put my songs back on it i got this message "The IPhone "<3 drea <3" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found" whats wrong with is and how do i fix it ??

    Just another finding on my part ... I was able to sync my "last imports" from iPhoto, which were a bunch of JPG files that were scans of old family photos. As soon as I tried to sync other folders from the library, that's when I was notified with the error. Do you think this might be a complication with RAW images? I also thought about file names ... most of the photos have the sequential DSCNxxxx title.

  • Why am I getting the error message, "the iPod "..." cannot be synced because a duplicate file name was specified"?

  • Error: The ipod "..." cannot be synced. The required file can not be found. Case for Ipod classic

    Hi,
    My ipod is being stubborn, everytime i connect it to my Windows PC. Its does a new sync despite having changed its setting.
    When I check manually manage files. And then copy music files onto Ipod some times. After eject the music is there sometimes its empty.

    I have figured out what the problem is with the connectivity issues with the ipods.. I talked to the support person and once you have the most recent upgrade to itunes and your ipod the ipod should sync without any problems. If one does arise and it says that the ipod is not connected you need to follow these steps..
    1. Go to start
    2. Click Run
    3. Type in the phrase services.msc
    4. A new applet should appear that says services and there will be a list of a multitude of different applications that appears
    5. Right click on the one that says *Apple Mobile Device*
    6. You should see the restart Option
    7. Click on restart and you should be good to go
    After i did this everything worked fine, and if the connectivity error message would happen to appear again you should just follow those steps. Also i have found that the ipod doesnt always appear in My Computer. However, this does not mean that the ipod is not connected to your computer.
