  • Whenever I try to sync my iPod touch, it tells me that an unknown error has occured. (error no. 13019)

    I need help! I want to sync up my ipod, but it won't let me. I recently got a new computer and transferred my music through homeshare. Some of my songs from my old computer don't show up in my library on my new computer (which is actually slightly older than the other I was using). Ever since my new computer, I have been having problems with syncing, but it hasn't been this bad. I can't add or delete songs from my iPod anymore. It says the problem is that this computer is not authorized to transfer certain songs, but when I try to authorize my computer, it tells me that this computer is already authorized. The error number that keeps popping up is 13019, if that helps. Thanks!

  • Whenever I try to sync my iPod Touch 5th gen with iTunes I get an error message saying "The iPod "*****" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start". Is there any way I can fix this?

    Whenever I try to sync my iPod Touch 5th gen with iTunes I get an error message saying "The iPod "*****" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start". Is there any way I can fix this?

    B-rock, thanks for posting the above.  I actually have the same issue, running Windows XP and I don't have that backup location, \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\.  When I go to Documents and Settings\(username)\ there's a AppData folder followed by:\LocalLow\DataMngr\ .
    I have the latest update, 5.0.1 and I have the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
    I have tried removing itunes and all that is associated with it then reinstalling and keep getting the same message.  I've reset my ipod thinking that would help but still, no backup.
    In iTunes, Edit, Preference, Device there are no backups.
    What am I doing wrong, can you help? 
    Thank you!

  • Whenever I try to sync my ipod touch, it doesn't work.  The computer seems to get hung.  What could be happening?

    Whenever I try to sync my ipod touch, it doesn't work.  The computer seems to get hung during the back up stage.  It says it is backing up the ipod but nothing happens, for hours.  I eventually have to interrupt it and give up.

    I have the latest itunes.
    I tried resetting sync history.
    For this section:
    If the issue persists, and you know all your contacts, calendars, bookmarks and notes are on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    Remove all of the contact and calendar information from Outlook.
    Select the device in iTunes and click the Info tab.
    Scroll down to the Advanced section, and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" make sure Contacts and Calendars are not selected.
    Click Apply.
    This doesn't seem to make sense for my situation.  I don't sync anything between outlook and my ipod touch. 
    I have no other USB devices connected to my computer.
    I have no other Windows users on my computer - only me and I am the administrator.  However on my diagnostic, it said this user is not the administrator.  Weird.
    So I have tried to follow that you referred me to, but still I haven't got it working yet.  Do you have any further suggestions?

  • 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!

  • The iPod " " could not be updated. An unknown error has occurred (1417).

    This is what saved my day... I copied this from a longer reply.
    "Try this: I got error 1417. The iPod "Dan's iPod" could not be updated. An unknown error has occurred (1417).
    1)Plug in your iPod and wait for iTunes to tell you an update for it is available
    2)Click the Install button on that dialog and keep an eye on your iPod
    3)When your iPod screen switches from the flashing "Do Not Disconnect" message to the Main Menu screen, unplug the iPod, wait a couple SECONDS, plug the iPod back in
    4)You should notice some slow-down in the progress meter and a new dialog box should come up and tell you your iPod is being updated and to not disconnect it until the update finishes
    5)That's it. Wait for the update to finish and iTunes will re-recognize it and show its new up-to-date status."
    The only thing I would add, restart your computer with the IPOD left connected. When it starts back up you are set.

  • Why am i getting an error message that says "an unknown error has occured" when i try to update my apps in the app store

    Can someone please offer some suggestions why I am getting an error message that says "an unknown error has occured" when I try to download or update my apps in the app store?
    Thanks!
    disregard! i noticed someone else's post about signing out of the app store and signing in again and it worked.....

    Hi ...
    Try here > Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
    If that doesn't help, drag the App Store icon straight up off your Dock so it goes, "poof".
    Now drag the App Store icon from your Applications folder to the Dock. Try updating your apps.

    Try deleting the cache associated wi the App Store.
    Quit the App Store if it's open.
    Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy/paste:   ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Try the App Store.

  • The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error has occurred (11).

    I recieved an iPod from a friend of mine. He has bought a new one and is currently using it with his apple ID. I have plugged in the iPod he gave me and attempted to restore it. When it goes through most of the restoration process the error "The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error has occurred (11)." pops up. The iPod is also stuck on a screen with a USB cord pointing twords the iTunes icon, i shut it off then turn back on and this image is still on the screen. The iPod also does not appear in MyComputer. It does appear in iTunes but it only has the name, no serial number, capacity, or software version. I also re-installed iTunes.  I am using windows 7 on my Toshiba Satellite A665 laptop.
    I would appreciate any help that anyone has to offer.
    Thank you.

  • When I try to sign in to the App store, I get a message that says "An unknown error has occurred" and I cannot sign in.

    When I try and sign in to the App Store, I get an error message that says "An unknown error has occurred". The Apple Store told me to contact Apple Care which I did. They determined it was not an issue with my computer and thought it was an issue with the App Store.
    They had me contact the iTunes Store instead of the App Store because they said that was the technician I needed. The iTunes Store rep told me there was no issue with my iTunes account and told me "The issue could have been temporary, related to your internet connection, your local network, or your computer itself."
    This issue has been happening for a few months and as I said above, Apple Care said it was not my computer.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Restart your Mac then try again.
