Vista x64 and iPod Syncing Error (Error -81)

I have Vista x54 and the latest iTunes (7.1.1.5) and just got a brand-new 30GB Video 5.5 a few days ago. I started my sync on my library, but right in the middle I get this error - "Cannot Copy To Disk "IPOD" (-81)" I already restored my iPod several times and even completely removed all traces of iTunes, QT, etc and reinstalled, but to no avail... I've been using iTunes other functionalities for some time now on my Vista x64 just fine... What should I do? Is this a hardware problem - cause this iPod is spankin' new!!

Hmmm. You aren't getting the classic symptoms of the issue, but it might be worth checking for a Windows drive letter confusion on the PC, as per the following document:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

5th Gen iPod Sync Error -48. Please help.

I get a 5th Gen iPod Sync Error -48 on my iPod.. I get this both on my laptop and my desktop computer. I do not automatically put music on my iPod but when I try to add or delete things it does not keep the change after I disconnect.
I cannot restore my iPod as most files I am not able to recover.
I am running XP and both are COMPAQ.

Vista x64 and Microphone not work

Hi folks,I've installed and am running Vista x64 and the sound is working fine but the mic is misbehaving. In the 'Speakers Properties', 'Levels' tab, I have the microphone set to 85 and unmuted. This way the microphone works but I get bad feedback and I have to listen to myself droning on through the speakers. I've tried muting & unmuting this but nobody can hear me speaking in Teamspeak. Am I condemned to having to blast my neighbours with feedback or is there a way I can talk through the mic and have my voice come through on Teamspeak instead of coming through my speakers Many thanksPete P.S. System is a 4gig, dual core, Audigy 4Drivers are the latest Vista ones from the creative site.Oh and it all worked fine on XP by the way

Go to recording properties, select levels and increase mic to 85. Also add 20db boost.go to speaker properties, select levels tab and mute the microphone.....Fixed..

Vista x64 and fimware upd

I have Vista x64 and a Zen V
When I try to update the firmware of the player I get the massage that there is no Zen connected when it is and it is visible in explorer (as My Zen).
The driver seems OK
Anyone with an idea how to solve this problem?

Sometimes there seems to be problems with upgrading firmware on 64bit Operation systems, I had the same problem with both my Logitech G5 and Razer Deathadder mouses. So my tip is you try upgrading it on Vista 32bit or Windows XP 32bit.

Solution for OPML error in SOA suite Startup (Win Vista x64 and older)

h1. Hi Folks!
When installing SOA suite on Vista 64 bit I encountered lots of problems. One of them was the following upon starting the SOA suite:
At 33% in the progress bar, the starter gives an error, returning a question about OPMN.
Caused by: oracle.ias.opmn.optic.OpticBadConnectException: Error connecting to OPMN (is it running?): Connection refused: connect
Being a newbie in this field, I resisted to learn everything (Oracle as part of a course of Busines Process Integration Laboratories at the University) about the works behind the package. Unfortunately, OPMN drove me crazy for days!
The main problem for OPMN is the unability for the system to handle certain issues.
One of the issues: When in a testing environment that is unstable (i.e. a laptop) some issues occur:
* sleep resume is not supported
* hibernation resume is not supported
* restart is not always working for all processes
(tested this with XP32 & XP64 SP2; SP 3; Vista 32 and Vista 64)
The main issue is with OPMN and the services that are started and controlled through it.
A solution for our workgroup has been made:
-create a reset.bat file
-use the following code:
+@echo off+
ECHO Step 1 in the server reset is running: Shutdown OPMN processes
D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\opmn\bin\opmnctl shutdown
ECHO Please continue the reset sequence by pressing any key
pause
ECHO Step 2 in the server reset is running: Restarting OPMN processes
D:\product\10.1.3.1\OracleAS_1\opmn\bin\opmnctl startall
END
The commands regarding ECHO and the pause break can be omitted, but for supervision it is better to see if all processes are started in working order.
Please note the absolute paths, these are from my personal setup as they are the default from the manual. Adjust if necessary.
As User Account Control (UAC) does interfere a lot with programs in Vista (32 & 64) and from SP3 also with XP, please assign administrator rights to the reset.bat file.
This solution should take care of the "OPMN (is it running?)" issue, without rebooting or cold restarting the server.

New 5. version and Ipod Service Error

I downloaded the newest version of itunes and updater 9-23-05, and now my ipod won't sync with my windows xp itunes. I have reinstalled both itunes and ipod updater, I have deleted everything in the temp file, I have disabled all programs, and I have tried to restort (I get a service error when I try to restore). Apple support tells me my ipod is not under warranty. What they needed to tell me is that their crap software wasn't under warranty and doesn't work.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem? Is it possible to go back to a working version of the software if I can't restore?

Hello Grant,

Ipod sync error - error -48

connected my ipod to a powerbook G4 (usb 1.1) and tried to synch my ipod
it displayed the error message "failed to sync error -48"
Is it a USB issue or a sync issue (i.e. application issue??)

Early last week, I did spend a whole day to fix up my 3rd Gen iPod. I had tried every different way, and occasionally, it came up with the same error -48 message.
It seems that it was not a software nor hardware problems, but just an iPod itself.
The way I did was - to format the iPod with a PC, once it has been completed reconnect it back with your Mac
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”

IPod Sync error -48, cannot update any longer

An intractable and frustrating problem has surfaced on my iPod and I’d appreciate any advice.
System: Powermac G5 Dual 2.0, iPod 80GB. All newest software, firmware, etc. installed.
Problem: A few weeks ago, after adding songs ripped from a CD, the iPod failed on the next sync. A dialog box appeared “Attempting to copy to the disk ‘Dons iPod’ failed. An unknown error occurred (-48).” I clicked OK and sometimes the same box would appear again. Then another dialog box, “The iPod ‘Dons iPod’ cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-48).” Clicked OK on that one, and the sync finishes and the iPod shows ‘update complete’ although none of the changed/added songs are added.
I did a full restore and reload and all was well…until my next sync after songs/podcasts were added. Then the error -48 dialog boxes came back and new info was not added. A full restore and reupdate went fine, but basically I cannot resync after a full update any longer.
Attempts to fix: Tried different cables and USB ports. Rebuilt the library per Apple’s technote. Emptied whatever iTunes caches I could find. Tried syncing only songs, not podcasts/photos/contacts. Enabled and disabled disk mode. My older 4GB nano still syncs perfectly, even adding new songs the bigger iPod rejects with the -48 error. My old 60GB photo always worked fine.
Any advice greatly appreciated! Thanks, Don

At the moment there seems to be no permanent fix for this. This is the workaround I'm currently using until a fix comes along.
Set up iTunes "not" to open when you connect the iPod.
Enable Disk Use on the iPod
Eject the iPod and shut down iTunes
Reconnect the iPod and open Disk Utility
Click on your iPod in the Utility pane and choose Repair Disk which will find and fix a number of errors.
Close Disk Utility and open iTunes and your iPod should connect and update as usual.
Keep the settings above and each time you connect the iPod run Disk Utility repair as above before opening iTunes. It's far from being a acceptable answer but until a permanent one comes along I've found that it works for me. I've tried the Apple advice of erasing the iPod in Disk Utility and restoring it in iTunes but found it only worked for a while before the error came back.

Ipod sync errors out with "unknown error -69"

The problem I'm having has been happening ever since I upgraded to iTunes v7.x and I cannot backup to v6.x on any of my computers. This problem is only happening on my XP Pro SP2 computers with most up to date patches. The hardware is from two different manufacturers, error is the same.
My iPod is a 20GB with a dock (four buttons above the wheel). It has firmware v2.3 and is formatted for Windows.
The problem does NOT occur on either of my Mac OSX 10.3.9 iBook computers.
In all 4 cases I have used the same exact music files and first tests I created library files just prior to synchronizing. As noted, the XP computers fail partway through the synchronizing. It can fail at 3 files, or 500, but it fails. I can restart the sync and have it go a little further then fail.
I've copied the Mac library files to the XP computers and still the XP computers fail to sync properly. I've copied the XP library files to the Mac computers and they continue to work properly.
I've swapped firewire cables with a friend and had it fail. He's tried his iPod and it has failed (he syncs against his Mac with success). I've used a USB cable and had it fail. I've tried unplugging everything and using every single firewire and usb port on my computer one at a time and every time it's failed.
I found a link on here to remove a registry setting for high filter and low filter for the USB but could not remove the settings...being that I primarily use firewire, I gave up on that idea.
I've tried the 5 R's so many times on my poor iPod it doesn't know what it's up to.
In a nut shell I've tried EVERYTHING I can find on here that's the least bit relevant and nothing fixes the problem. I took it to an Apple store and their solution was for me to pay more to have the unit replaced than it would cost to replace it with a 30GB video iPod....sounds pretty dumb to me to pay more for less.

I went to another Apple store today and again brought up the issue of my iPod not syncing. As I mentioned before I've attempted to sync using two XP Pro computers with identical music files, different hardware but fully up to date XP Pro, including iTunes. Both failed. Identical music files on two iBooks running OSX (10.3.9) with up to date iTunes synced every time.
Add to this that I went to two different friends with very different music libraries and had problems on their machines as well (both XP machines, one home, one Pro)...neither person had problems with syncing their newer iPods.
At the store the guy did a restore of the iPod (something I've done many times) and he tested some 300 music files with no problem. He restored it again and gave it back to me.
I brought the iPod home and successfully synced 3853 music files with ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS! I don't have any clue what was different when he did the restores, but it worked.
Of note, before anyone asks, everytime I've ever tried a sync on all of my computers or my friends computers, I've always triggered a restore to try to fix the iPod.

PHD and Home Sync Error

I am running Snow Leopard server 10.6.4 and all clients are running Snow Leopard 10.6.4.
When a user with a PHD network account opens a datafile such as Word or Excel, a home sync errors ocurrs. As soon as the file is closed the error disappears but it is very frustrating to have these messages pop up whenever a file is in use by the user. I don't recall this being a problem under Leopard.
Is there a setting which can disable these pop ups when the user is user the file?

Well I posted here not giving to much info so I should probably give some more. This is a post I posted else where I have copied!
Here are some more details:
It would seem that when a user logs on their Portable Home Directory is mounted under the /Volumes directory (in my case /Volumes/groupname/username/). We all know this already. We also know that with stuff like this and mobile homes etc clients make preferences (like .GlobalPreferences) on a per-computer basis, if you look in myhomefolder/Library/Preferences/ByHost we can see many .GlobalPreferences files each ending with the MAC Address of a machine we have logged onto. So for my students there are many entries for the different machines they work at.
It would seem (as far as I can tell) that when a student logs on we create a temporary .GlobalPrefernces file in our mounted home directory at /Volumes/teachers/james/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.fstemp.PHD-R-R9FKAzSqm_-james52hfaStqfe4.noindex
(Note here that during the time I or anyone else if logged on, this file doesn't actually seem to exist its not in the folder?)
And when we logoff we rename the temporary file to replace the actual .GlobalPreferences file located on the server, which for my example user was /Volumes/teachers/james/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.GlobalPrefernces.0011223344 5566.plist
So, when my students logoff they get:
"Unknown error:[1] rename('/Volumes/teachers..../.fstemp.PHDR_R9FKAzSqm-james52hfaStqfe4.noindex', '/Volumes/teachers...Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist')".
So my question is, why would that be? Am I on the right lines? Does any one have any idea why this is happening?
All input is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help so far.

Vista x64 and desktop manager

I had my phone (8100) hooked up and synched perfectly with XP Pro. I recently bought a new notebook with Vista x64. Although 4.2.2 supports Vista 64, the sync is not working. Clicking synchronize just causes the application to sit there. No progress bar or anything. Any input?

Problem with Vista x64 and Audible in iTunes

I've made a clean install of Vista x64.
Installed iTunes and started it off reloading my music. When it came to .aa files from Audible it prompted me for my audible login - which I gave. It then rejected my login and skipped all my audible stuff.
I've now tried several times to completely wipe iTunes from my system and reinstall it (even tracking down all the config stuff it installs and doesn't remove on removal) and still have no luck. I've also tried the vista permissions fix.
Problem is iTunes seems to think it's authorized on Audible as I have a 'DeAuthorize Audible account' option under advanced. If I enter my login under this, or when prompted when trying to add an Audible file I get a "Could not authorize this computer because an error occurred (-44012)" error message.
Anybody have any clue about this, because google hasn't.

I believe that's just to fix permissions if you can't play back music you've purchased from the music store.
I did try running it anyway, just to see if it made any difference, it didn't.
