Mar 11, 2014 3:50 PM in response to Alfred DeRoseby Riquez,I am not sure if that is the same thing, the linked article says
iTunes Store: "Error (-50)" when downloading purchased content
The description of what to do doesnt seem to apply to me as I dont have anything purchaced from itunes to delete from my cache, the downloads folder is empty.
I am not using the iTunes store, I am trying to sync photos to my iPad - nothing to do with music. My music syncs fine.
The error appears while syncing photos - iTunes says "Syncing Photos, step 4 of 5" & then the error pops up.

Mar 12, 2014 2:32 AM in response to Riquezby Riquez,I follwed the instructions in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3697
iTunes: Unable to sync photos
but the problem persists, I cannot sync any photos whatsoever from iTunes, but music, apps etc are all fine.
This is very frustrating because the purpose of this iPad is to use as an on-the-go screen for photography

Mar 12, 2014 3:53 PM in response to Alfred DeRoseby Riquez,oh this is just superb!
I restored the iPad, connect to iTunes, iPad cannot be synced (error -50)
& now I have a blank iPad that I cant sync with anything.
What is going on here?
oh- - wait - it IS syncing, but only if I dont sync photos, so back to the same as before. If it tick to sync any photos, i get the error. If I untick the photos it begins syncing fine.

Mar 12, 2014 5:57 PM in response to Riquezby Riquez,iPhoto on my ipad is now full of missing images. The cloud stream has 1000 blank images, the camera roll has 635 blank images. I have synced with the cloud, but it's all blank. I can't sync from the computer because the error pops up.

Mar 14, 2014 4:11 AM in response to Riquezby Riquez,For those that follow~
After speaking to Apple Support for about 2 hours, the issue has been narrowed down to a corruption problem in the computers iPhoto Library.
To confirm this:
Problem: When ticking "sync photos" in iTunes, your sync fails with the error "cannot be synced, unknown error -50".
Test: HOLD alt/option (mac) & open iPhoto. You will be prompted to create a new Library. (the old one will be left untouched)
Import a few photos to your new library.
Quit iTUNES & re-open it. Connect your device & go to the photo tab. Click Sync Photos, you will see your new library. Sync - it should now work.
In iPhoto you can switch between your old & new Library using the FILE >Switch Library option.
This is not a fix, my issue is ongoing. I am posting only to help future readers. In my case rebuilding the iPhoto Library (hold option/alt when opening iPhoto) was not able to correct the problem.
