When I drag music onto my ipod I get: "The ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019)." Solution?

When I drag a song/album/playlist onto my ipod I get the message "The ipod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13019)."
I then restored my ipod and synced it to the backup. The error came again, and I did the same. 3 times.
After that, thinking there may be something bad on the ipod or whatever, I restored it again. This time i DIDN'T sync it to the back-up. It was retuned to factory settings.
But, hey, here I am now, with the same problem.
If anyone has any suggestions? Please.
Details:
16GB ipod touch 2nd generation
     -currently 8.8GB of music

     -currently .22GB of other
Software Version: 4.2.1 (up to date, according to itunes)

  • I keep getting an error message that says "the ipod cannot not be synced""an unknown error occured (13019).

    I keep getting an error message that says "the ipod cannot not be synced""an unknown error occured (13019). I am trying to put albums on to my ipod by dragging and dropping. I have it set to manually manage music and videos. The albums appear in the music section under Devices, but they don't appear on my actual ipod.
    I have never had any problems doing this before, only in the last few days.

    I am having the exact same issue as you are with my iPod nano. This started happening the same day after I updated the iPod software, so I wonder if it is a bug within the software that Apple needs to resolve. I dragged 3 playlists of new music from my iTunes over to my iPod and sometime while it was trying to add those songs, the error 13019 popped up. Another note, which may not be related at all, was that iTunes told me at some point during this process (I believe before the error notification, but I'm not sure and that may be helpful to know) that I did not have enough room on the iPod to copy all of the songs, but it would copy as many as it could. What is curious, like in your situation, is now all the songs it supposedly copied appear to be on the iPod under the Device->iPod->Music label in iTunes when it is plugged into my computer, the playlists in question are also showing up there, and it does indeed say my memory is full under the iPod's general tab in iTunes. However, when going through my actual iPod when it is not plugged in, none of those songs or playlists are anywhere to be found.
    Anyways, all the established solutions to the 13019 error do not apply to this situation, as my iPod has always been set to manually managed so "unchecking" the Sync Music option under the Music tab of the iPod and rechecking it will not work because it was never checked in the first place.  And voice memos are obviously not applicable since we are not talking about an iPhone failing to sync music.
    Unless anyone can provide a new solution here, I may just have to take my computer and iPod up to the genius bar. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Ipod cannot be synced an unknown error occurred (-40)

  • No music after 3.0 upg.: cannot be synced an unknown error occurred (-208)

    Upgraded my iPhone 3G to 3.0. All went smoothly and everything seems to be working fine. Only issue was that my music had disappeared. Went on to resync it but iTunes shows that the music is still there - but I cannot do anything with it: cannot add to it, cannot delete it, etc. Suspect files are fine but library is corrupt. Was hoping that adding or deleting a song would force a library reindexing but no luck.
    "the iphone "name" cannot be synced an unknown error occurred (-208)"
    Any suggestion on how to resolve this (outside of a device reset...)?
    Thanks in advance.

    The software can be found on Download.com, it's Ipod Copy 7.47. It's $20, but works perfectly.

  • The Ipod "Name's Ipod" cannot be Synced. Unknown Error occured (-48).

    This is the error message I have been getting for the past two weeks while trying to add music to my Ipod. I have tried repairing itunes, installing updates as they come, even reinstalling itunes and doing system restores. It seems nothing is working. Friends have suggested using different USB slots, restarting the computer while Ipod is still connected and again nothing is working. So anyone know what to do?

    I am getting an error message of I/O operation error, when trying to sync my iPod. I have been having this problem since July when I updated to iTunes 7.7. After contacting Apple on numerous occasions, including driving over 50 miles one way to an Apple store to have some dead-behind-the-eyes kid tell me that he doesn't know why it won't work, I am still having difficulties syncing.
    I have contacted Windows, since it was their error message, and was told that an I/O message is in regards to the outside device that I am trying to sync, which eliminates my PC from this equation. I am also able to successfully sync my old 4GB mini and my wife's nano without any issue. I believe that my Classic is not giving my PC the correct driver that it requires to connect and sync.
    I have been going on almost 2 months without my iPod (what a waste of money!!!!)Please...somebody help, because it's pretty apparent that Apple could care less!!!!!

  • How can you get your music synced from iTunes to your iPod when a window pop ups on the screen saying"The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019))?

    I had 429 songs already on my iPod Touch. When I was in the process of syncing a song from my iTunes Library on to my iPod, a window popped up on the screen saying, ""The iPod "Edward's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13019)). I click "Device" on my iTunes Library to make sure the song was in my iPod. It showed the song that was recently synced now listed under "Device", but when I physically looked for the song on my iPod Touch, it does not appear on there at all. It all started when I decided to put a Playlist I created in the iTunes Library and transferred it on to my iPod. Do you know why it may affected my syncing process and is there any way where I could get the syncing function back to normal so that I can continue adding songs on my iPod? Thank you for listening.    P.S. My iPod iOS version is 4.3.5.

  • HT1351 I have tried numerous times to resolve an issue with my wife's iPod (5th gen#.  When I connect to iTunes I get a pop up error message that goes like this - The iPod "Linda's iOod" cannot be synced.  An unknown error occured #13019)...What do I do?

    I have had very much trouble adding music to my wife's iPod.  Every time I connect to iTunes, I get an error message that reads ...The iPod "Linda's iPod" cannot be synced.  An unknown error occured (13019)...I have tried diagnostics, help and what ever iTunes has to offer and cannot fix the issue.  I want to add a new playlist with new music.  When I connect her iPod, the playlist shows up on her device.  When I disconnect, I can not find it in order to play it.  Help me.

    Some other posts seem to indicate that the cause is related to voice memos.  You may want to try the remedy described in this document

    although it says it's for the 6th gen iPod nano.

  • I just started getting the error message below - when I drag a file to TRASH, I get the message "Finder wants to make changes. Type in your password to allow this.  Why ? and how to to stop this request ?

    I just started getting the error message below, when I drag a file to TRASH, I get the message "Finder wants to make changes. Type in your password to allow this."  Why ? and how to to stop this request ?

    There should be nothing native to the OS X which would ask for a password
    or  other information on a restart, unless accompanied by the traditional login
    box with your user name.
    There are adware or marginal products that could be called malware (bad)
    that would impose their presence and some items that could have been
    downloaded by accident or through some corrupted free software site; of
    those some could ask for and gain permission to go through your Mac
    and maybe even run in the background to do other nefarious misdeeds.
    You could see if startup in SafeBoot allows you access past that the Completer.
    Since I don't have a pile of helpful article links on how to resolve various issues
    I'd be looking them up one way or another.
    There are some helpful items in the site http://thesafemac.com - see Tech Guides
    listed  (adware, malware, & performance) plus a link to the adwaremedic page.
    Also, Apple support has a helpful page on how to remove adware and other bits:
    •Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support
    Hopefully this helps somewhat.
    Good luck & happy computing!
