Ipod Cannot Be Synced Because It Cannot Be Found
ALMOST to the point of finishing, and then I will get an error message stating that the iPod can't be read or written to. At first ipod cannot be synced error 54 I thought I just had a corrupted video file (although it plays fine on my computer), so I downloaded a second TV show. Same thing. I have downloaded some music vidoes from iTunes, and they transfer perfectly to my iPod. I've noticed that ipod unknown error -50 since I downloaded the latest iPod updater and version of iTunes, that I've had the same problem getting a few songs to transfer to my iPod from CDs as well, with the can't read or write error. This only happens to maybe one song out of thirty, but it is still annoying. Maybe it is the updater??If anyone out there can help me, I would really appreciate it since I'm dying to watch these shows on my iPod! Thanks in advance!! Windows XP Posted

The iPod is showing up in iTunes, but the "Update iPod" option is grayed out. Also, before when I had installed my iPod, it appeared in iTunes with my name...now it just says IPOD. I assume that's because it's back to the factory settings, but thought it was odd. (Yes, I know how to rename it.)Actually, after I ran the iPod updater to completely restore my iPod, it sat there frozen for hours with "Do Not Disconnect" on the screen, NOT flashing. Even after I disconnected the iPod (I had to turn off the computer completely to do this; otherwise, the USB port refused to stop running), the message just sat there. I had to reset it to get it to the point where I could select my language.Any suggestions? I'm considering just wiping out everything (backing up my files, natch) and starting ove

I have a 12 inch powerbook G4 with Leopard and all current updates are completed. For some unknown reason, when I try to sync my Ipod (80 GB 5th gen) or my wife's (20Gb) to the same computer, using the same USB cable, I first get the pinwheel of death and then the error message- Attempting to copy to the disk "

Okay. I have an ancient iBook with a Lacie external hardrive on which I store my music files. This error message is a problem which started with my old iPod, which I replaced recently because it was having this exact same problem (plus, it's click wheel wasn't working). I thought "New iPod, all problems solved." But no. I don't think this error message can be true because SOME of my music appears on the iPod. This whole crazy meltdown started when I downloaded iTunes 5. Ack. posted by Sara Anne to Computers & Internet (14 answers total) I can't offer a solution because I don't know the first thing about troubleshooting iPod problems. However, for free iPod/OS X support, this place has helped me in the past.posted by teem at 10:20 PM on October 19, 2005 Also try the forums on www.ipodlounge.com They know all.posted by fshgrl at 10:29 PM on October 19, 2005 I had a vaguely similar problem in the past, and I just reset EVERYTHING i could think of. First I cleared out itunes and reimported everything, and then I reset the ipod firmware, deleted all my music off of it and put it back on. Pain in the butt, but worked. Have you tried upgrading to itunes 6? or downgrading to 4?posted by atom128 at 11:05 PM on October 19, 2005 I would upgrade to iTunes 6 and download the iPod updater software. Of course, if you run that software it will first blank your iPod so if this solution doesn't work you run the risk of not having any music on your iPod. Also, is your iPod formatted for Mac or Windows? And, just for clarification, I also keep my music on an external Lacie drive so I don't think that's the problem as my iPod updates fine.posted by dobbs at 11:28 PM on October 19, 2005 Here's an obvious (possibly silly) answer, but someone's got to ask it: Is the write protect switch on the iPod thrown on?posted by jpburns at 5:00 AM on October 20, 2005 There's a write protect switch on the iPod?posted by odinsdream at 6:37 AM on October 20, 2005 Are you using podcasts (the built-in feature, I mean)? I've had this exact problem a number of times recently. It also started after downloading iTunes 5. Some files would copy over, then it would stop with the exact error you mention. After trying everything, I took it do
