error 1450 when i'm using iTunes 5

I have had this problem for quite awhile now. I am almost certain it is caused by a failure of the scripting to work (Symantec, McAfee, etc blocking it), but I have yet to see ANYTHING from Apple to help people resolve it. I have done everything I have seen in this discussion, but nothing works.

Since my iTunes no longer works, it appears I am going to sell-off my iPods and buy something that I can use.

It is going to blow re-ripping 800 CD's which are currently in AAC format, but it appears Apple isn't giving me much choice.

They have proven they have NO ROOM to criticize Microsoft's business practices.

5 iPods I have bought, and I cannot load my new muscic to any of them.

Goodbye Apple.

I´ve faced the same error, and more. After the "music library cannot be updated" appears, a message saying "gaba´s ipod cannot be updated. an unknown error occured (-1450)", and I can put my Photos into it.

I got this error message as well. I remove the software and delete all iTunes registry entries. After restart I installed again the latest Version. It works for 3 Hours. Then the same problem again. I don't know what i should try. It is a problem to sync my iPod. This Problem exists since 2 or 3 Days.

Sorry for spelling. I'm german.

I have the same problem. I spent the evening with a bunch of tools and traced it down to a conflict with McAfee Antivirus. Basically, iTunes tries to write large chunks to a temp file (called ....\My Music\iTunes\Temp File) and the antivirus can't handle it, so it fails with a 1450 error. (This will only happen if you have a large database.) Since Windows never issues a 1450 error on file writes, the good folks at Apple never thought to handle it. It's easy to reproduce the problem with reads in iTunes as well - just try to import thousands of mp3s into iTunes at once and every so often one of them will fail with a 1450 error (which iTunes does not show, but a monitoring tool such as filemon will flag.) Apple - if you're monitoring this - put some logic into your writes so if they fail with a 1450 error, you write in smaller chunks.

For the rest of us, uninstall the antivirus, save your database, and reinstall it.

I got around the problem by telling McAfee to exclude the iTunes folder and it's subfolders from the "on-access scan." That seems to work and I haven't seen the -1450 since.

I haven't McAfee Software to run. I've AntiVirenKit in Progress but i try to disable die iTunes directory in private folder. The same Problem. I Try to downgrade to Version 4.8. Same Problemdiscription, but other code: error 50. I go mad with this sh**.
