Unknown Error (-50) after syncing then attempting to update my IPod Touch

After syncing my device and making sure everything was saved I clicked the update to the new OS for the IPod Touch and it downloaded it in about 6 mins then turned off and on a few times and then when it tried to reconnect to Itunes I recieve the -50 error and my IPod Touch is stuck with the icon of the USB cable connecting to Itunes... aka its not working at all anymore and restarting comp and ipod hasn't done anything... help

and did it work? cause I uninstaled and re-instaled iTunes several times and it didn't work. I started having that problem ever since I updated the itunes to the newest version, but if I reinstal the previous version, it doesnt recognize my backup file, so I can't have my info back... I don't knot what to do... any help, plz?

  • I am attempting to update my iPod touch to IOS 5.1.1.

    I am attempting to update my iPod touch to IOS 5.1.1. Every time I do I get the message  " An error has occurred while backing up this ipod (-43). Would you like to continue to update this iPod? Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on the iPoD."  I have some mobile authenticators on the iPod touch that if it gets reset, they will be a HUGE pain to get re-added and synced. Anyone know what I can do?
    Thanks in advance,
    Will

  • What does error -3259 mean? How can i update my ipod touch to the new ios 5?

    I been updating my ipod touch 4 software to the new ios 5 all day. i tried disabling my security programs and firewall, different download programs and reinstalling iTunes, and restarting my ipod touch. But for each attempt i get a different error. i went to the Specific update and restore errror code page and got a reason for each error except for error -3259. Basically my question is: 1. How can i update my ipod software to io5 and 2. What is the reason behind error -3259?

    Connect it to iTunes on a computer and update it from there. Note that the second generation iPod touch(which includes 8GB models sold at the same time as the third generation ones) can't be updated past 4.2.1.

  • "unknown error" message when trying to download apps on my iPod touch

    Today Ive been trying to download multiple apps but keep receiving an "unknown error" message I've tried restarting my iPod but that didn't help

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

    Hi Christianjr,
    When you say you reset your network settings, what do you mean, exactly?
    I saw another post on this issue, and the poster indicated that they resolved the problem by turning off their cellular date option and wifi options in Settings, and then turned them back on.
    Also, resetting your phone may help - press the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold both down until the Silver Apple appears. Once it is back up, click on the update option and see if it fixes the problem.
    If none of those things work, then need to have details on what you did to reset your network settings....
    Cheers,

  • What do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?

    what do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?

    Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
    “SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
    Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:
    “Hi all,
    I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
    I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
    I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
    Can anyone help? Please?!
    Thank you!!!
    P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.”
    Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!

    P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution.

  • I tried updating my ipod touch to iOS6 then an unknown error occured so i disconnected it an now it is stuck on the apple sign and has a loading sign and has been like this for 2 hours. what can i do?

    I tried updating my ipod touch to iOS6 then an unknown error occured so i disconnected it an now it is stuck on the apple sign and has a loading sign and has been like this for 2 hours. what can i do?
    My home button is also unresponsive and i have to press it really hard to make it work.

    Do you remember the the exact wording of the error message:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Unknown error - will not sync with iTunes

    My 80gb video iPod worked fine until yesterday. Now every time I try to sync with iTunes an unknown error occurs and it won't update from the Library. Have tried everything suggested, even restoring and have consequently lost all music from the iPod after the letter B. I updated the iPod with the latest software it suggested, was wondering if that could have anything to do with it, or what I could do about it.
    Thank you.

    Could you quote for me what the error message says?
    Since there are a lot of "unknown error" numbers out there with syncing (-36, -50, -69, -39, -48, etc.), it would help to know what is the exact error number that you are getting.
    Thanks for the info!
