How do I fix a -50 system error trying to synch my Ipod touch to Itunes

Hi MizFrustrated,

Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.

You may find the steps in this article helpful with troubleshooting an "error -50" during sync, as seen in the post below:

My iPod won't sync, iTunes displays a message saying "an unknown error occurred (-50)."

If the error message persists, and you are syncing with USB, try these steps next:

I had my ipod plugged in while trying to update my iphone and got the -50 error also. Unplugging the ipod resolved the issue for me.
