Touch and USB errors

I'm having a synching problem. It gets partway through, progress stops, and then a dialog opens saying that the disc (ipod) can not be read from or written to.
I am still getting information moved - most of my music and photos make it over. But videos and big audiobook files are not.
Interestingly my 1st gen 2 GB Nano is also having the same error "can not be read from or written to" when I synch my podcasts. In disc mode I can copy over a 1.2 GB movie to the Nano no problem.
Ideas?
iTunes 7.4.2 (4)
iPod Touch 1.1.1 (3A110a)
1st Gen Nano 2 GB (1.3.1)

Possibly caused by your USB driver being out of date. Also make sure the USB port you are using is USB 2.0 otherwise it won't have enough power to sync the touch.

  • U260 crashes and USB error

    My 5 month old U260 was working fine until recently, when I keep on getting code 43 as a USB error regardless of how much I try to disable and enable it. I've scoured the forums and can't seem to find a reason or solution for this - it's a serious problem because there is only one USB port that works for the most frequent type of USBs
    The second problem is that it keeps on crashing. Sometimes I can barely start it before it crashes, but other types it will be a few hours in.
    Can anyone help with either problem? I haven't dropped it or damaged it at all as far as I know.
    Thanks!

    Need more detailed info on ''The second problem is that it keeps on crashing''
    That's Windows crashing,right?
    Are you getting any error messages,or the like?
    When did this problem first start*
    After an update perhaps(driver(s) programs,Windows?
    Did you try a system restore ?
    Did you do any troubleshooting?
    The OS is W.7 ?

    Does anyone know how to restore an ipod touch when error code 21 keeps appearing or what this code means?
    Thank you

    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

  • I was trying to update my ipod touch and an error occured. Now it says I'm suppose to connect it to itunes and restore it to it's original settings. That's going to make me lose all my pictures and stuff right?

    Okay, while I was updating my ipod an unknown error occured. Now It's telling me I need to connect it to itunes, even though it's plugged in already. And when It does connect it shows up as a generic "ipod".  It doesn't even show my ipod anymore. And it wants me to restore it. It said something around the lines of "restore ipod so it can connect to itunes." Isn't that going to delete all my pictures and stuff? I don't think it saved the reboot from when it was updating!I just want all my settings and stuff back! I don't want to lose all my stuff especially my 2,000 pictures on there! Ugh! Help!

    Errors when updating leads to corrupt system files and this may be your problem. If you're using windows, connect your device to PC and run any third party app like Syncios. If it detects, you maybe in luck and try to back-up your data if possible. I hope that it won't and if doesn't, there is no other way to recover files. You should be restoring with iTunes and all data will be erased, or else your device may become unusable.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I did a restore on my IPod touch and now all I get on the display is a picture of a USB and the Itunes logo

    I couldn't sync my Ipod touch, and kept getting an error message.  So, I did a restore.  Now my touch is stuck on a screen showing a white usb cable and the ITunes logo, which I assume is telling me to connect my Ipod to the computer.  But I did that (obviously) or I wouldn't have been able to do the restore in the first place!  I tried starting over and held the power and home button until I got a message on ITunes that the device needed restoring - I went through the steps again and am right back at the same screen.  Any ideas??

    Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter.
    Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
    Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. Be patient since it sometimes takes several of these attempts before you are successful.
    If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links. 
    Select the device in iTunes and choose "restore from backup". This assumes you have a backup. If you do not, you will have to download all your purchased iTunes content again. You do not have to pay for anything you already purchased.
    If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.

  • Update and restore error messages on iPod touch 2nd Gen

    Hi folks I'm searching for a solution for the error message I have received when i connected my Ipod touch to my PC. I got notification that there was an update for Itunes available and would i like to download, i chose not to at this time as all i wanted to do was quickly put some music onto the ipod touch. I also had a notification that there was new software updates for the ipod itself, being how have had some of the issues this update was supposed to fix I clicked to download update and install.
    since then i have had an error message telling me i now had to Restore my ipod, As it is in recovery mode due to an error occuring during software update. I didnt want to do this as i have not synced the Ipod to the PC in quite some time and had purchased content via itunes and appstore on the ipod itself and was affraid i'd lose all this.
    I realised i had to restore to sort the issue out and have been trying in vain to restore the ipod for 2 days now. Every 'fix' or 'solution' on the help page has failed so far. the error message help page is here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
    i have done everything on that list and still the issue wont go away, the number in brackets relating to the error message i receive is (14) every time.
    I have a log of the last attempt to restore and failing which i copied before sending the information off to Apple. If anyone can help i'll be eternally grateful.
    my ipod is a 16gig 2nd gen touch and obviously since its somehow in recovery mode i cant use it at all, and all i have on the screen is the usb cable and the itunes icon.

    ok update:
    I was looking at other threads that had similar issues as I'm having, I decided to dig in the PC a bit, i went to My computer/C drive/Documents and settings/<user name>/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes/iPod Software updates
    to get the Application Data folder to become visible goto the Tools heading and select Folder Options, goto the View tab, then click the radio button that has "Show hidden files and folders" next to it, click apply, click ok. The application Data folder now appears in the directory.
    I then Deleted everything inside the iPod Software updates folder.
    Turned off my Anti virus and went to http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
    I selected my iPod and downloaded the update to my pc. Opened iTunes and shift clicked restore, i found the recently downloaded update on my desktop and installed it. Now my iPod has finally restored! success! yes!!
    so now that we have got the iPod working again i need to know, since it is totally blank now what can i do about retrieving the songs, movies, apps and games i have paid for via the ipod touch itself? I have spent a lot of money on these and would like them back. Any ideas folks?
    I can see my purchase history when im in iTunes i goto the Store tab and select my account. its all listed there but no option to re-download the content.
    Thanks for any help on the matter

  • My Reminders app will not open. When I try to open it, quits and gives me an error message: "Reminders quit unexpectedly while using the CalDAV plug-in." My Reminders is synced with my iPod touch, and it is fine on that. How do I fix it?

    Also, the Calendar is loading very very slowly, and sometimes it quits and gives me the same error message as above.

    The problem has been fixed with the most recent OS X software update.

  • I have itunes set up to sync with my Ipod Touch and my Ipad.  As of today, it keeps looking for an iPhone to sync with and give me an error message.  I don't have an iPhone and don't know how to stop it from popping open with this error message.

    I have Itunes set up to sync with my Ipod touch and Ipad.  As of today, iTunes has started searching to sync with an iPhone, which I don't have and pops open with an error message stating it cannot locate the iPhone to sync.  I have looked in devices and only the iPad and iPod Touch are listed.  Any ideas on how to stop iTunes from searching for any iPhone it is never going to find? It is annoying to have it popping up all the time with the error message.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • An unknown error occurred -54 in itunes this happened after i'd bought new iPod touch and synced it to my iTunes can you not have two iPods on iTunes account??

    Please help i bought a new ipod touch and synced it to my itunes account so i had both ipod touch's on it and now i have an error flashing at me and i don't know what to do??

    == Error -54 ==
    From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
    First, try simply restarting your computer.
    iTunes Library cannot be saved (Error -54) - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1912814
    Unknown error (-54) while syncing ipod - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1082953 - problem was locked files
    Why does iTunes keep showing a -54 error when I sync my iPad? - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114
    Error -54 possibly related to Touch Copy - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114 - cleared by deleting preferences on iPad.
