  • Keep getting unknown error when connecting iPod?

    Each time I try connecting my iPod in I get an error message in iTunes. It does the same thing when I connect my iPhone in too.
    The iTunes version is the one before 9.2 came out.
    I get an error saying "iTunes could not connect to this iPod because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000001)."
    Please help I'm not sure what's wrong and can't find anything on this issue! D:

    well last I tried it did but I'm not using it now because it's at geek squad for repair so that's why I'm using the mac. I've always had this problem with this mac but never addressed it since I used my pc in the past. I think the problem may be is the mac needs updating. It's a G3 but I'm planning on taking it in and having it updated to the newest os/processor, all that good stuff.
    But I just switched usb cables and that seemed to work for the time being. Thankfully

  • Restore prompt when connecting ipod to computer

    I'm getting a prompt to restore my ipod after I connect it to my computer. I recently purchased the ipod and downloaded the latest version of itunes (less than 2 weeks), everything worked fine and I was able to download most of my library to itunes and sync it with my ipod. I went to reconnect my ipod after uploading some songs to itunes and rec'd the message. Can anyone tell me why this message would suddenly appear? How do I resolve the issue without actually restoring my ipod? Has anyone had a similar situation that they were able to resolve? Any help is appreciated.

  • Unknown error when syncing iPod

    I've been trying to sync my iPod to iTunes but this error comes up.
    +"Attempting to copy to the disk "LILY'S IPOD" failed. An unknown error occurred (-69)."+
    I've tried restoring and it has restored the iPod just fine, but once I connect it to try and sync it again the above error comes up. I've restarted my computer, I've searched for iPod updates. I was using iTunes version 8.0.0.35 and installed 8.0.1.11 and I still get the error.
    Can anyone help me? Thanks

  • Error when connecting IPOD

    Hi all,
    My IPOD classic (160GB) recently froze. I had to reset it to get it going again and thus it emptied all my songs. When I connected to my Itunes library to reload the IPOD, I got this Microsoft Windows error message on my computer. (Windows 7 utimate)
    *"You need to format the disc in Drive E before you can use it. Do you want to format it?"* There is then an option below to format disk. I tried this and it told me I couldnt do it.
    I have never had this problem before. I tried my daughters IPOD touch and it connects to the library with no problem. I have been through the 5 steps Apple suggests (reset etc). I have updated Itunes. I have reinstalled Itunes. None of it works. When ever I connect my IPOD classic I get the same error message. It must be the IPOD. Has anyone else experienced this and besides throwing my IPOD in the bin, does anyone have any ideas?
    cheers
    John Corey

    I tried this and it told me I couldnt do it.
    What was the precise text of that error message, John?

  • -208 error when connecting iPod: No photos uploaded

    I am using iTunes 6.0.1 with an iPod photo. Recently when I try to transfer data to iPod, only the music is transferred. When it tries to transfer photos, it gives me the following dialog:
    The iPod "[name of my iPod]" cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-208).
    Is there anything I can do to resolve this problem?

    Hi,
    Are you using a Mac with iPhoto? If you're using Windows, I'm afraid I can't help.
    If you're using a Mac, I can help a little, but unfortunately I'm looking for a final solution to this myself.
    The problem seems to lie with the iPhoto library itself. If you don't have too many photos then the best thing to try - it did work for me - is creating a new iPhoto library, exporting the photos from the existing (broken) one, and re-importing them into the new library. Check the iPhoto Help for info on this, but basically if you hold down the option (alt) key when you start iPhoto you get to choose between libraries.
    The bad news is that you will lose any keywords and ratings that you might have assigned (this is the reason I can't go with this workaround). Titles will be ok.
    If you would like to have a go at saving your keywords, I noticed someone had written an Applescript to export keywords - but I haven't tried it myself yet (last resort for me). See this article on macosxhints.com
    Good luck with it.
    Paul.

    I keep on getting unknown error (-4) whenever i try to update songs and podcasts into my ipod video and it won't update anything at all!

    I know it does not deal with the same error number, but try this article. Also, make sure your iTunes and iPod software are up-to-date (see here for iTunes and here for iPod).

  • Suddenly can't play video on ipod but everything else works. Any ideas??

    Strange. I reset my ipod classic 80 GB several times but still nada. The window display is fine for all my music but when I press to play a movie or video the screen goes black and doesn't shut down. When I connect the ipod to my XP computer, and play the videos from my ipod onto quicktime, they play. But disconnect and try to watch from the ipod screen and nothing. They worked before just fine.
    Any ideas what's up?

    Thanks for the reply. The videos are MPEG 4 and where converted for ipod. I've used them on my ipod for a half year and all has been fine. The other day I loaded some podcasts into my ipod including some video podcasts and then when I went to watch the screen goes black but is still on. The only thing I can do is reset my ipod to turn it on. If I only listen to music or audio podcasts then everything is fine. Pictures are fine too.
    I got fed up and finally did a Restore. It still does the exact same thing. Music is all good but the videos don't work. Not even video podcasts. The ipod freezes and requires a reset to boot it up again. Really strange.
    Any ideas??

I cannot cancel out, continue or retry which are the three choices. I eventually have to Ctrl + Alt + Del to close out Itunes. Can anyone help? Thank You.

  • Error when connecting iPod Nano with PC

    I really don't know what the problem with my Nano is. I have tried almost everything, including disabling my antivirus program, but when i try to connnect my iPod to my computer, i keep getting an error message. It says "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to reinstall the iPod's software." Can anyone help me?

  • Error when connecting iPod Video

    Hi
    I have owned my iPod Video for a couple of months now, and my Macbook for 6 months. iTunes and iPod have been working well together, no problems. However today when I connected my iPod into my Macbook, iTunes freezes for about 5 seconds then "quits unexpectedly". I tried using both USB ports but with the same outcome. I have attempted this about 5 or 6 times now, each time iTunes freezing then quitting as soon as the iPod is connected. Any help would be much appreciated.
    PS. Just tried copying a file to my iPod through Finder, and it copies fine. Seems to be an iTunes issue?

    Thanks Zevoneer, but no real success. I did all that but when I tried to sync after it, it got partially through the sync (about 10% I'd guess) and presented an error message saying that the disk couldn't be read form or written to (sorry but I forgot the error number). I disconnected the iPod, waited a few minutes then reconnected and again got the message but then the ipod continued to finish the sync, even though almost all of the music and 2 of my 4 videos didn't go over to the iPod. I'm now thinking that this just isn't satisfactory reliability from the device since I use it a lot in my work and rely on it. But this new iPod is only a few months old, had very little use and only made about 12 recordings - In comparison, I've used the Nano heaps but now want to move over to the bigger one, basically for more capacity and bigger screen for video. I wonder if it's a hard drive failure in this iPod?
