Error 13010: My iPod cannot be synced

Asked By jamescoulty 820 points N/A Posted on - 07/21/2011

Hi to all music lovers in Techyv, I have a problem with my ITunes application, my iPod won't sync with ITunes.   An error message will be displayed every time I try to sync.  Please refer below the screen shot I pasted.

The iPod “Jumal’s iPod” cannot be synced. An unknown error

occurred (13010).

What I did first, after I got the error message is, to restart my computer to get a fresh start.  When I tried to sync again my IPod with ITunes, same error occurred.  I even borrowed another cable to isolate the problem, but same error occurred.

I already ran out of ideas to isolate the problem.

 Please do some comment on my issue,

Thanks.

This issue usually happens to the newly updated ITunes. There are a number of possible ways to fix this issue, these are:

• You have to reinstall your ITunes. First, you have to completely uninstall/remove your ITunes from your computer, and then reinstall it afterwards.
• Remove/uninstall back-up or anti-virus software. After you have uninstalled this software, try to sync you IPod with ITunes.
• Sometimes, disabling, turning off or disconnecting of network connections (such as Ethernet Cables) will fix this problem.
• Try to connect the USB cable for IPod to a different USB port. 
• Instead of updating your ITunes, try clicking "restore" and then re-sync your IPod.

Hello James,

The following are the workarounds that you should give a shot and see if they will help.

• First, you will need to try restarting the iPod.
• If that does not resolve the issue, you will need to try restoring the iPod.
• Still having issues? Then try unplugging the iPod and after that plug it back in.
• Also try restarting iTunes.

Other workarounds you should give a try include the following:

• Deleting the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb".
• In case the above does not work, you can go ahead and try uninstalling iTunes, and then reinstall it and try resyncing after that.

Regards,

Carl
