Could not sign in - An unknown error has occurred. On my iPod touch attempting to sign-on to iTunes.
My iTunes login works on other devices.

Try refreshing the ID by signing out, restart the iPad and then sign in again..
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to download again.

"The iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error has occured (-48)"

*The iPod "Ash" cannot be synced. An unknown error has occured (-48)*
Has anyone else had this pop up to themselves or does anyone know how to get anywhere on getting it fixed.
When I try to upload my iPod onto my iTunes, once it gets recognized that pops up and it won't progress anymore. I've tried the Five R's, which haven't helped me and it has also screwed up my album covers, but that is the least of my worries.
If anyone knows how to help me out, that would be very appreciated.

WHat kind of iPod? Seen this?

The iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error has occured (-50). PHOTOS ONLY.

Hi there. I have searched with no success, to solve this problem: I have a 1st gen. Touch and only recently, I get the following message when attempting to sync with my mac: The iPod "customer's pod" cannot be synced. An unknown error has occurred (-50).
This only happens when I have selected photos to be synced. This never happened before. If I de-select the photos, there are no problems.
I am running iTunes 8.1 and version 2.2.1 iPod software. I have done a reboot, restarted and so far nothing has worked. I have searched this forum and have found assistance for people running a PC but so far, can't find anything that has worked for this situation. If this has been answered previously, my apologies. I appreciate anyone who can help out and/or point me in the right direction.

Thank you! I deleted the ipod photo cache and it worked. (apologies for not writing sooner... my ibook crashed and I just got a new mac and synced up).
Thanks so much - very appreciated.

I keep getting a message when I try to sync music onto my ipod that says "iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error has occured (13019)"

I've never ever had this problem before; it's only been the last few days. Every time I try to take music from my library and put it on my iPod, the message always comes up that says, "iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error has occured (13019). What should I do? This has never happened before!

Did you already try to restore your device? Restoring iPod to factory settings
Other solutions for this errror are mentioned here: iTunes: Error 13019 during sync

When i tried to sync my ipod it said "cannot sync. unknown error has occured(-39)

when i tried to sync my ipod it said "cannot sync. unknown error has occured(-39)" how do I fix it??

Are you syncing photos to the ipod? If so, the -39 in this context can sometimes indicate a damaged photo cache. Are you able to sync if you delete your existing photo cache? To find it, see the following document:
iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder

Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

My iPod touch keeps saying the ipod "johnny" could not be synced. An unknown error has occured

Ya so like I said it wont let me sync anything off my iTunes it keeps saying error or unknown error has occured and I really want help with this.

Was an error number also given?

"cannot be synced. An unknown error has occured. (13019)"

When I connect my iPod touch to iTunes there are several songs and videos that are apparently on my iPod (it says they're on the device). Then when I go on my iPod, they aren't there. I tried syncing but everytime I try to do so it says "Cannot be synced. An unknown error has occured. (13019)" I've tried restarting my computer, restarting the iPod, using a different computer, everything. Oh, and I put 96 new songs onto the iPod via iTunes successfully last night. Help!?

Hi breakingbenjamin27,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you see an "error 13019" when trying to sync content to your iPod touch, be sure to try these steps:
The error will most commonly occur while syncing music. This issue can be resolved by following these steps:
Select the device name in iTunes under Devices.
Click the Music tab and under the Sync music option, choose Selected playlists.
Deselect the Voice Memos playlist.
Click Apply and then click Sync.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, check the device and the iTunes library for duplicate voice memos. If you find any duplicate voice memos, delete the duplicates and then sync.If those steps do not resolve the issue, then follow these steps:
Select the device name in iTunes under Devices.
Click the Music tab and deselect the Sync Music option.
Click Apply and then click Sync.
After the sync is complete, reselect the Sync Music option.
Click Apply and then click Sync.

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.

Ipod cannot be updated, an unknown error has occurred. (-48)

I'm at the end of my tether right now. I updated iTunes to the newest version, then updated my iPod. Now I'm getting the error message "Ipod cannot be updated, an unknown error has occurred. (-48)". I've searched the site and other forums and I can't find anyone with that same message who can help me. I've tried installing an older version of iTunes but I can't use it because my iPod has been updated to work with the newest one. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, nothing helped.
So my questions are:
1) Any way I can uninstall the update I did for my iPod? That is, so it is compatible with older versions again.
2) What could be causing this message?
3) Is there an e-mail address for apple, who seem wholly uninterested in what happens with their product once the £235 has been paid for it?
Any help is appreciated.

Interesting, that error code doesn't seem to appear on the iPod support pages. Since it's saying "The iPod cannot be updated" it sounds like it's indicating there's a problem with the iPod... although with "unknown error" it's hard to say for sure. My recommendation would be that you try restoring your iPod, and then giving it another go. If you're uncertain about the restore process, take a look at this article, it should answer your questions.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
Once you restore it, try updating it again in iTunes. If you have any more problems or questions, feel free to reply, and I'll see what I can do to help.
Best wishes!

The ipod "name" cannot be updated, an unknown error has occurred (-48)

a few nights ago while i was updating songs to my ipod video, this thing appeared on the screen in a quick flash and i wasnt able to read what it said. then my computer blinked and resetted, causing my ipod to unplug without ejecting properly. so i pulled out the plug from the butt of the ipod only to find out that when i opened it, all my songs were gone. a good 3000 i think. i think i also pressed menu and play at the same time after that.
the ipod "name" cannot be updated, an unknown error has occurred (-48)
this is what keeps appearing on my i-tunes everytime i try to transfer songs to my ipod vid. the weird thing is that when i drag and drop songs from i-tunes to the ipod icon, it says its updating. but when its all done, not a single song appears on my ipod. and it also said something like "cannot be restored" and "ipod service error" on the ipod updater. i've tried on both computer and laptop and am experiencing the same problem. as of now, my ipod is working but it's just all empty. could anyone help? im so frustrated coz this is the second ipod i've purchased since the last one that broke down. thanks.

k i tried that but i couldnt find cupertino usa on my ipod. i did: date and time - set time zone - then a list of places come out with (DST) beside each of em. i chose bangkok (dst). tried to plug it again on i-tunes and the same darn thing appears. that dreaded -48 error. ill check out the rest of those links you guys posted anyway. thanks again for tryin to help.
