Help Unknown Error 13019

omg thank you so much!! i've spent a week trying to fix this issue. nothing i found online was working, but this fixed it!!! i had a few songs in the manually manage box that i needed to remove!

Many thanks uniqO for your helpful instruction. Fortunatly I connected with your post as soon as I had the problem. Did the business and everything back to normal.

Thanks again, Stan

Yay!! That worked - I have spent hours trying and re-trying everything suggested on here and nothing worked :-( Until i removed a few bits of music that were duplicated, and voila!! success!!! thank you so much!!!

that sounds like it works, but being new to this- can any-one direct me to where I find my "manually manage music"

i have been getting the same error and it is very frustrating as i cannot sync music. fortunately while tinkering with itunes i suddenly fixed the problem. first thing is you must delete all duplicates from your itunes library. next you delete all music from your ipod and lastly just copy your music from library to your ipod and voila! i didnt receive the error message ! just wanted to share my experience hope it helps someone out there 🙂

I have tried everything including deleting voice notes as a playlist all together and I cannot get my nano to sync. I checked and unchecked the sync songs, restored several times, ejected and tried plugging in again. Nothing is working. I don't see voice notes anywhere in my library or playlists or anything place where they are checked. Any other suggestions? I have tried over a dozen times.

I have tried this and and I have unchecked the voice memos selection and I continue to receive the error. Any other ideas?

I had the same problem which only occured when I dragged and copied some songs that were already sync'ed on my iPod. I deleted the duplicate songs and it sync'ed perfectly straight after that. So for me, the error message only happened when i had duplicate songs on my iPod and was solved when i deleted the duplicates. Hope this helps !!

I am using iTunes under Windows and I think it's terrible, but I limp along. I got a new computer and suddenly found myself seeing this unknown error 13019 BS. I read this thread and discovered I had one single duplicate song, so I deleted that with high hopes. Then I tried synching a podcast and got the unknown error again. GRRR I thought but just for completeness I checked the ipod podcasts and it was there. So my experience is that DESPITE the "unknown error 13019" saying the ipod could not be snched, nevertheless it WAS synched. So I am somewhat mollified.

I don't know though, if this was true prior to removing the duplicate song. It may well have been, I just never looked.

I already had the manually manage box checked because i add songs from multiple computers. I also have no duplicates in my library because I cant stand them. I have no idea what to do i've tried everything besides losing over a thousand songs by syncing to one library. I guess if i have to do that i will. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME?

mine is doing the same thing. i tried what the other people have said to do with the voice memos, but i manually sync my ipod because i get my music from various computers, and if i do the voice memo thing, it will get rid of all the music i have on my ipod and replace it with the music library on this computer. i dont know what to do!

Manual sync is where the problem is coming in most likely and where mine occured.

When you are manually syncing, uncheck all your music. Then go through Manual and add music one by one, not all at once. It is a bit tedious but there is one album or file that is corrupt causing the sync problem.

By adding them one by one and then syncing each time, eventually you will hit on the Album or song that is corrupt. When you do, delete that piece and you are good.

Here is one other thought....Look at pieces you have most recently downloaded first. It seems that most times it starts to happen after a recent piece of music is added.

Hope it helps...

I got this error code (13019) when i tried to sync my ipod nano (5th gen.) on the latest version of itunes and i even tried unistalling and reinstalling itunes, it jsut won't work, if anybody has a solution or has even had the same issue, please let me know. thanks

See above. This is the error code for most of the responses with solutions. Most likely it is a corrupt file and/or voice memo issue. Several sets of instructions to correct in previous posts.

I had the same error maessage and the only thing that thankfully solved it for me was to delete duplicate music files.
