Nothing syncs! Unable to sync for over a week, since the new year on my iPad mini. So frustrated I about to throw them all out.
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
Tracey289, you were right on! I changed the slots on my iMac for my iPod and the synch worked. I would like to ask why the problem in the first place but that may well be far above my head and pay grade.
Namaste

nbar, thank you for your recommendations. I went to the support page and much of it was either not relevant or above my head. What worked for me was tracey289 entry below to change slots on my iMac. I do not know why it worked or why the synching -50 error in the first place, but I am content.

Follow the troubleshoot.
Thanks but not helpful. I get the error code when trying to sync, not during the actions described.
But again thanks for trying.

The syncing issue is a byproduct of the downloaded apps updating issue. The result is a timeout. I would follow this excerpt of the instructions:
1) Close iTunes,
2)
Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
Mac OS X: ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads
Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
3) Upon deleting the folder, reboot your machine and attempt to sync again.
Delete this from my Mac, not the iPads, correct?
Reread your post and saw that you did mean form the Mac not the iPads.
However, did as you suggessted and was only partially successful. First the iTunes Download folder was empty before deleting it. My podcasts updated to my iPad mini but iBooks did not. It seems that nothing changed on my iPad 2. However, that error message no longer appears.
Getting that -50 error once again on my iPad 2. Not that that really mattered. Didn't sync with nor with out an error message.
I too have this error message (-50) on iphone 5s, iphone 4s & ipad 3 - when i try to sync on both my macbook pro and a windows 7 pc. it is only photos that will not sync - everything else is fine. It has been going on for about 3 weeks now and i have tried as many troubleshoots as i can find and still nothing works. Seems a lot of people are having problems with sync at the moment and Apple need to find a solution.
I have looked everywhere for the file and can not find it. Still stuck with problem and many others.
I have also "lost" many collections in iBooks upon updating the iOs. The place they once were is blank and clicking on the blank space has no effect. I also can no longer add new collections, or they become empty/blank collections, I can't tell.
IPad mini won't sync, yet somehow a whole genre of music and all its files have disappeared from iTunes an this device.
Three of the five functions I most need have not worked at all since the update. ITunes deleting audio-files I need for class, iBooks hiding collections and thereby becoming useless by denying access to pdfs I use for class and no new podcasts because I can't sync.
How does one contact Apple directly to fix these problems?
I had this (-50) error message when syncing my iPod Touch. For me, the solution was simply switching my USB cable to a different slot on my MacBook Pro. Hope that might work for you too!
Neither my iPad 2 nor my iPad mini will sync. "The iPad " " cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-50)
