Syncing my 6th generation Ipod Classic, I get loads of the same message, "Itunes could not copy songs into ipod due to error -50". The syncing then completes with only 15gb used space and 143 gb space free.
What can I do to correct this error, please?

    Right click the filename that won't download and selsct 'Get Info'. Look at the file path, does it have a //?// in it? That is a problem with Amazon downloads that prevent iTunes from finding the file. Use 'Add Folder' to add the album to your library and try syncing it again

    Quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and try again.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Itunes could not copy 'song' to the ipod 'name ipod' because of an unknown error occurred (-5000)

    Itunes could not copy 'song' to the ipod 'name ipod' because of an unknown error occurred (-5000)

    This problem does seem pretty random, affecting just a small number of tracks. Apparently it is due to some file corruption or something... Anyway, this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2654317?start=15&tstart=0 has a couple of solutions spelled out. Basically the same thing that a-monk-at-large suggested above. (Delete and redownload the offending tracks.)

  • "itunes could not copy song to the ipod because the file could not be converted."

    Hello.  I'm using iTunes 10.6 and trying to sync an iPod Classic 120GB with Mac OS X 10.6.8.  I keep getting the error "itunes could not copy 3 songs to the ipod because the file could not be converted."   All three songs are AAC, 256kbps. I didn't have this problem with these songs a couple days ago until I decided to convert all 256kbps songs to 128kbps to fit on my 120Gb iPod.  iTunes, nor my iPod haven't updated during this time.  Any suggestions?

  • I have the 20gb iPod that I need to put music back onto with my new computer. It starts to sync then it says "ITunes could not copy the song to the iPod because the file could not be read or written. ????

    I have a 20gb iPod that needs music from ITunes. On my new computer I am trying to sync but I get error message "could not copy to iPod because file could not be read or written. Attempting to copy to the disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." I have tried several times and have reset to factory settings.

    Is the new PC running XP as well, Chalotte?
    If so, I might start with the following document (your error message is a possible symptom of the issue too):

    Follow these instructions to completely remove Apple software

    Then use free Ccleaner to repeatly repair your registry until it's fixed.

    download iTunes again from Apple.

    If you have 64bit Vista or Windows 7, look for the seperate download of iTunes for that further down the page.
    Once installed, use the Apple Software Update under your Start Menu to fully update all Apple components.
    Your content will remain on the drive in the Music > iTunes Folder, nothing is deleted.
    You  should be making backups of your content regularly, either through  iTunes or via copying the iTunesFolder in your Music folder to a  external drive.

  • Why do I get error message that iTunes could not copy x song while syncing

    This is not a Touch issue per se, but once in awhile while syncing up on an XP computer, iTunes will give me the error message that it was not able to copy certain songs to the Touch because the orginal could not be found. Funny thing is, when that happens, I don't actually lose the song, but it shows up twice in my library, with an exclamation point next to one of them.
    Why does this happen, and is there anything that can be done to prevent it? It has happened on songs I have purchased, as well as CD's I have imported. For the CD songs, I re-imported, and those songs no longer showed up in the list of songs where the orignal could not be found. I just find it strange.

    AAPL is correct in that it was a duplicate. I deleted the dup (with the exclamation point next to it) and I still have the other song in my library.
    I don't believe I ever moved anything, so I'm still not sure why the original song remains and when syncing a duplicate appears with the error message. This has also happened on a music video I bought just days ago. But, whatever, as long as I didn't lose anything no big deal.

  • ITunes will not copy songs to my iPods

    This one is driving me nuts. Completely out of the blue, when I try to upload music from iTunes to my iPods (1 x new iPod Nano, 1 x iPod Mini), I get this message: "You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"
    I am not a new user, and have tried everything I can think of including repairing permissions, restore iPod, replace iTunes 7.6.1 with 7.6, and even doing a complete install and archive of Leopard. But, always the same message, that I cannot use my iPods as I have been doing for several years. Interestingly, it will allow me to add podcasts and movies.
    I am at my wit's end. Does anyone have any suggestions to ease my pain?
    Many thanks

  • Error: iTunes could not copy **** to MyiPod because the iPod disconnected

    I am using Lion 10.7.3 with 10.6.1 and an iPod Touch 2nd generation with iOS 5.1.  It all started because I noticed some of my songs were not properly tagged.  So, I went into iTunes to fix them.  Then, I plugged in the iPod and hit sync.  But, it didn't change the songs in my iPod.  So, I decided to try again.  Still didn't change anything.  Don't know why.  In the past, changing the information about the song would cause it to sync again.
    I decided to restore the iPod.  When it was all set, I had it restore from a backup.  Then, perhaps because I am mad, I messed around with iTunes Match.  I have some 50gb of music on my iPod.  So, iTunes Match doesn't work very well for that application.  I like it for my iPad, but not my iPod.  Anyway, when I changed my mind and tried to sync it told me that it couldn't copy a given song name because my iPod disconnected.
    Over and over, it would start copying and then, after about a hundred songs it would say "iTunes could not copy YourSong to MyiPod because the iPod disconnected."
    I went ahead and restored it, again.  This time I decided to just set it up as a new iPod.  It is currently syncing music.  I am up to 300 of 6700.  If this works, I will post that.  Otherwise... what the heck is going on?

    So, the restore didnt solve the problem.  I am reinstalling Lion right now.  I have been having problems with my Time Machine backup drive ejecting itself, too.  Some people reported that reinstalling the OS solved this for them.  And, since and iPod, technically, is a drive, too, I thought I would give it a try.
