Iphone sync error 13019?

For just syncing my 2 star and above music it was working fine. If I added my un-rated music I'd get the above error. To fix, as everyone says - I would unsync all the music, and resync my 2-star and above music. But if I added the extra "unrated" folder it went bad again.

So there seems to be an error in the database, fixed by unsyncing those items and then resyncing.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2830 for that minor error.

But there is another error caused by a problem files, which won't be fixed by just resyncing.

In summary, after reading through this thread, these things help find the culprit item:
. minor errors - just unsync music, resync music
. remove song with exclamation mark (on left of title)
. remove song with exclamation mark in the name
. rename voice memos back to the original names (no comments etc!)
... or just try removing voice memos
... and unclick "sync voicememos"
. I had a pdf file in a playlist
. I had to UNclick "sync music videos" - not sure what was wrong in my video (yet)
. out of date podcasts
. someone mentioned their problem was in the PHOTOS, not music

Hope that helps someone

edit: Resynced music videos (I only have 3). It shows successful sync, but I can't find the music videos in the iPhone anywhere.

I had this error after I renamed some Voice Memos in iTunes. Deleting them seems to have resolved this. I'm guessing it could no longer sync because it saw them as two different files.

I Had the same problem. looked at something else, but if you want to do this much easier, do this

-Delete Voice memos
or
-Replace them, find them (Ctrl-O)-> this will copy it back to itunes folder

or keep them as you have them now, if you want. my iPhone synced anyway, even if the message appeared.

I FOUND THE SOLUTION!!!!!
It is a problem with the Voice Memos.
I recorded a memo on the phone. Synced.
Renamed the memo in iTunes.
Synced. Failed
Deleted the Memo in itunes.
Deleted the Memo on the phone.
Synced. Success.

I had the same issue, and when I deleted the voice memos from itunes it worked properly. thanks for the tip, hope itunes fixes this bug.

Thank you so much....
It was a "voice memo" for me as well.

I had the same problem and none of the solutions here helped. I did a hard reset of my iPhone 3G and the problem is solved. Just have to redo my music and videos.

That's certainly a way of blowing away any sync error on the phone (which most people were able to do by unsyncing music).

When you resynced your music did it load up fine, or is there a problem in your music?

This worked for me. Thanks!

Voice Memos were the key. I unchecked the Sync Voice Memos option in iTunes and no more 13019 error.

Hi,
I had the same problem and the unsync'ing music and re-sync'ing music didn't work. What did work was when I decided not to sync the voice memos. Unfortunate that an apple feature hinders an apple phone.

If you select 'info' on a voice memo in iTunes by hitting the apple key and 'I' key simultaniously, then select the 'options' tab. under the media kind option switch from "voice memo" to "music". I also deselced both "remember play back position" option and "skip when shuffeling". This worked for me, Synced with iPhone just fine!

I have an Ipod touch 2nd gen and I just downloaded the new 3.0 software, and I had the same problem. I deselected music videos and it worked fine. It might have just been I had no music videos.

I made a recording using the new Voice Memos in OS 3.0 and had no problems for a
day doing multiple syncs until I changed the name of that recording in iTunes
and then could not get a completed sync. I deleted the file and it sync'd just
fine.

I know for a fact that this was my problem as well. I suddenly found my voice memos in iTunes, listened to them (they were named with date and time only) to find out what they were, and renamed them. The very next sync I started to get the 13019 sync error.

The same procedure as described by others does indeed fix it (I didn't delete nor rename the memos), I just did this:

1) Uncheck "Sync Music"
2) Press "Syncronize"
3) Check "Sync Music" back on
3) Press "Syncronize" (and wait..)

Fixed!

A problem I have notice that causes a 13019 error is RENAMING a voice memo inside iTunes. The names must be coded in a special way because even if you try and change the time on a voice memo it still errors back.

No real solution other than to untick it from being synced. All I can say is leave the naming conventions of voice memo to iPhone.
