iPod Classic Unknown error 53
I keep running into this error (-53) when loading music or movies onto my iPod Classic. Any ideas? I have reset the iPod 3 times and still continue to have issues
iPod classic 160GB (Late 2009)
This maybe due to USB transfer timeout by iTunes waiting for a task complete signal, which did not come.
While syncing your iPod, I would suggest the following to prevent timeouts.
- Disconnect all other USB devices, except mouse and keyboard.
- connect only to USB 2.0 port at the back of the Desktop, and if you are using a Mac dont connect to the keyboard USB port.
- Dont connect to USB Hub.
- Disconnect from Internet, so dont use twitter or facebook are other apps, which has plugins that conflict with iTunes.
- Stop the Antivirus if any.
.
Try to sync in small batches first.
Have a nice day!
