Unknown error -69.  Can't sync or recover

After the latest iTunes update, each time I try to sync my iPod classic I get an "unknown error 69".  I've tried restoring my iPod and still songs that have always synced before are causing the error.  Help!

Hi Julie,
It sounds like you are having a frustrating issue when syncing your iPod classic. Let’s see if we can get you back up and running. I would suggest troubleshooting by using the steps in this article -

  • Help please:How do I solve "Unknown Error -53 Can't Sync (My) Ipod"

    my Laptop was stolen.. it had my iTunes on it.. I have another computer so I down load iTunes but it does not seem to want to recognise my iPod saying "Unknown error -53 Can't Sync (My) iPod. Help appreciated. Friendly shake hands. R

    Thank you, but I did that. I de-selected and then re-selected but because the 13019 still won't allow the sync, all it did was completely delete everything on my Ipod!  I now have no songs on my Ipod when at least before, I had all my songs but the new 12 songs!  I'm freaking! 

  • MS Project 2010 - An unknown error has occurred while syncing to a SharePoint site.

    Dear all,
    I encountered a generic error when using MS Project 2010 to sync with our SharePoint 2013 on-premise. I want to clarify is it default behaviour or a bug.
    When I start MS Project 2010 professional from new -> sync to Sharepoint by type in URL and the list name. I can create a new project list successfully.  I have verified the tasks are sync to the Sharepoint and I am able to see them listed on site.
    After sync, I save the Ms Project document to local computer. Named test1.mpp. Then I close MS Project. Then open test1.mpp again and then sync immediately. This time an error show up:
    An unknown error has occurred while syncing to a SharePoint site. Ensure the SharePoint site is running and try again
    Since I didn't add anything to the mpp file, I believe it doesn't contain any invalid data blocking the sync. What would be the problem? Thanks.
    Mark

    No, I didn't. I just fill the site path like:
    http://sharepoint.com/sites/Project/
    and then the List field:
    ProjectA
    I want to clarify the sequence should be:
    After sync, I save the Ms Project document to local computer. Named test1.mpp. Then I close MS Project. Then open test1.mpp again and then sync immediately. Then error occur.

  • Error Garageband - can't sync midi and audio

    I have no midi attached but still get an error message "Can't sync midi and audio".
    All I am trying to do is record a voice-over using the built in mic on the iMac.  But this error message keeps popping up constantly.  I close it and then 10 seconds later it pops up again.
    Why is garageband trying to sync a mid that I have not connected?

    Hi!
    Enable all audio tracks (R) you wish to record. Then make sure you select the audio instrument you are using on the left of the arrange page (track list). If you here your input, hold shift, then highlight (gray) the mentioned audio tracks you wish to record on. When R is red, and the proper tracks are grey, you can record. Hope that made sense!

  • Nano 5 cannot by synced with unknown error 13019; can't download restore

    I know there are variations on this problem, but I didn't see any quite like what I'm experiencing.
    New Nano 5. Connected it to itunes it synced ok. The next time I attempted to resync, I got unknown error 13019 and it wouldn't sync. I reset the Nano, still got error. I attempted to restore it and the restore download timed out. Tried that at different times with same results. Can you download the restore from the apple web site rather than thru itunes, or is it limited to that? Any other suggestions.
    Thanks

  • Error (-50) Can't Sync Some Songs to iPhone 4

    I have about 4,000 songs in my iTunes Library syncing to my iPhone. They would all sync well until I added one album, The Very Best of Eagles. Whenever it syncs now, it gives me an error saying "iTunes can't sync the song "Wasted Time" to the iPhone "Esteban Valle's iPhone 4" because an unknown error occurred (-50)"
    I have already restored my iPhone and set up as new iPhone, reinstalled iTunes, and reencoded the album to no avail. Everything else syncs okay until it gets to this song, "Wasted Time"
    What more can I do to fix this?

    Actually guys, it's pretty dumb. I had imported also the disc "Hotel California" in the same session, and it turns out that that album had the song in question. I deleted the whole album and will try to reimport it. Anyway, mine's fixed, although now Im ****** I had to restore my iPhone . I'm gonna try to restore back to the old backup again.
    Anyway I'll leave the question as unanswered because I know lots of other people are having this problem too, and it will encourage more answers.

  • Unknown error when trying to sync from itunes to ipod

    Does anyone know what the problem is? Everytime I try to sync music onto my 4GB ipod nano, a message pops up saying:
    Attempting to copy to the disk [ipod name] failed. An unknown error occured (-54).
    I can't seem to figure out what is wrong. I restored my ipod and reset my ipod, but I still don't know what is wrong.

    Thanks for you suggestion roaminggnome. I tried typing in 13019 like you said and it gave me a few options to try and fix it but none of them worked (of course). I fiddled around with it for a while some more on my own and some how got it to work again, lol. Thanks again though for offering a solution.

  • The attempt to burn a disc failed, unknown error (261) Can't back up on CD

    The attempt to burn a disc failed, unknown error (261). I get this message every time I try to back up my music from itunes on to a CD. It doesn't matter if I try to back up all music or only music purchased from itunes. So far I have not been able to back up anything. Can someone please help me!!!! I have tried everything on the support website from apple, and nothing has worked. I am beginning to get very frustrated.
    Thanks

    +I know my computer is up to date on firmware, because I just bought this laptop 4 months ago - it's a brand new Dell Inspiron 1721.+
    Actually, in that case I definitely think you should check your firmware. I just had a look at the 32-bit Vista downloads page at Dell for your Inspiron 1721, and there's firmware updates listed there for four different drive models, all dated within the last four months.
    Head to the following Dell page and enter your model information to get to your Downloads page:

    Hi all,
    I am sorry to report that I too have this same disc error problem when syncing my iPod to my iTunes library. I take no comfort in knowing that I am one of many that have this same error. I checked on the iPod lounge forum and I just couldn't count the number of users that had the same problem. There are just so many!
    I too have tried "5 r's" and I have also tried using a few "s" words and others...lol.
    It seems like there is no "fix" for this problem but I will say this: If there is no solution, then I will no longer be buying iPods. This is my third iPod that I have purchased. Which makes my Apple investment near the thousand dollar mark. That is way too much money spent to not have a functioning music player. I will be switching to another player to see if the grass is greener on the other side.
    I have been most dissappointed with this error and I will not be "recycling" this iPod for ten percent off of my next iPod purchase.
