Feb 12, 2012 8:35 PM in response to enemdeeby enemdee,Afer a COMPLETE deletion of iTunes followed by another fresh install I still received the error message so figured there must have been something wrong within the iPad & iPhone (I had used TouchCopy for the first time to retrieve the information etc from both) SO with DiskAid I deleted the iTunesPrefs and iTunesPrefs.plist via the Media/iTunes and the irritatating error went away. I had to do a restore from a previous backup and have resynced everything and it seems to all be working as it should. It all went belly up with the Software Update OSX 10.7.31!
None of what I did may have been correct but it worked for me.

Feb 17, 2012 12:33 PM in response to enemdeeby montana26,Thank you for this information, it was exactly my problem (on iPhone 4, 4s and iPad2), after restoring all went well, the error -54 did not come up again. And I also used TouchCopy just before the error -54 story began...!

Feb 17, 2012 1:00 PM in response to enemdeeby montana26,Did you use TouchCopy anymore since then???

Feb 17, 2012 7:07 PM in response to montana26by enemdee,No I haven't used TouchCopy since as I have restored my MacBook with a clean install of 10.7.2 and got all my media back into iTunes and re-synced both iPad & iPhone sucessfully since (with no more error messages). I prefer using DiskAid and will delete TouchCopy from my Applications. Thank you for your comment.

Feb 23, 2012 3:35 AM in response to kroupby enemdee,Using DiskAid (or PhoneDisk which is similar) you can access the files/folders on your ipod/iphone/ipad. Folder→ Media→iTunes→ iTunesPrefs and iTunesPrefs.plist. I deleted both these files and then restarted itunes, reconnected both my phone and later ipad and resynched them without any errors appearing and have done so a few times since.

Feb 23, 2012 10:06 PM in response to kroupby enemdee,I went back and had a look. Opened Disk Aid and connected iPad. Showed me File System → Media→ iTunes Control→ iTunes→ iTunesPrefs and iTunesPrefs.plist. Also had checked Display all Apps... Show Root Path...Show Hiiden Files and Folders in the Preferences Advanced in DiskAid.(My copy isn't registered but I have access to Preferences when I turn Wi-Fi off).

Apr 26, 2012 6:44 AM in response to enemdeeby jogh,Thank you Enemdee. This worked for me too. I was getting so frustrated. I'm finding iOS and Mac OS to be more and more buggy by the week. Considering a move back to windows and a Nokia 6110!
