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:

  • HT201210 what is error 3194? i tried to restore it and it said the an unknown error has occured, error 3194.

    i tried to restore it and it said the an unknown error has occured, error 3194.

    3194 means that iTunes cannot contact the update server to verify the update.  This can happen if the servers are being over loaded, or if the hosts file on your computer has been modified.  HINT:  This can also happen if your iPod was ever jail broken...

  • IPod will no restore shows unknown error has occured with code 1429, how do i fix this probem?

    Ipod classic 80G will not restore, says "An unknown error has occured, error code 1429" how do i fix this problem?

    This has just happened to me today. I have an iphone 5 on Verizon. I was using the internet on the device normally when it started. It couldn't access any online data even though it had 4 bars of service and LTE. I restarted it and it would be stuck "Searching for network". I tried wiping the phone with no luck. It gets stuck at around 99% of the firmware restore process and hangs there for about 25 minutes before itunes gives me the error described above. I tried the recover-mode restore with the same results.
    I need a working phone ASAP, this is extremely frustrating!

    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!

  • "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.
    Rebecca

    urgh... just noticed my previous post said i have mountain lion... i meant that i have snow leopard.  no idea why i messed that up!
    anyway, i just tried reinstalling snow leopard from the usb key that came with the computer. Then, I installed software updates until it told me there were no more updates. After that, I tried the app store again, and it still is giving me the unknown error. really irked by that. may have to take it back to the apple store yet again, to see if i can figure out why the app store won't work.
