iSyncr Errors

Copy Protection or DRM

Unfortunately, Android phones can't play songs with Digital Rights Management (DRM). However, all iTunes music (at least in the US) since April 7, 2009 will not have DRM, before that date only iTunes plus music will not have DRM.

Songs that have DRM will display the information "Protected AAC audio file" or a similar "protected" file format for it's "Kind". You can view all songs that are "protected" in your library by sorting by "Kind" in iTunes.

Check out this link for information on how to remove digital rights management. Of course, this may be a less than legal way to do this. But if you're OK with it, so are we.

Also, you can use iTunes Match to legally remove all Apple DRM from music in my library. Here is a video on that.

Audible

Audible music also has DRM protection (see DRM) iSyncr for iTunes to Android is unable to sync these to your device storage. However, they also have the Audible application available on the Google Play store that should allow you to download and play your files.

i-Cloud

If your files are in i-Cloud, or iTunes Cloud, you'll be able to play them just fine in iTunes, but the files aren't accessible to third party applications, like iSyncr. Unless your files are on your computer's storage iSyncr isn't able to sync them. To determine if your files are in i-Cloud or not, view the files in iTunes for a cloud icon (seen below).

If you've got music in i-Cloud, you'll see this cloud icon next to song/item when you try and play it in iTunes. We want to download from i-cloud, by selecting the cloud icon. This will download the file to your hard drive and will be able to be sync'd by iSyncr.

Missing or iTunes file path does not exist

This one is a little bit longer to work through, but don't worry, our troubleshooting page found here on missing files.

URLs

URL file errors generally are for podcasts that are not currently downloaded. First download the files in iTunes, then try again to sync them.

Failed to Copy

This error is general. First try and sync again. If we still see these errors try and take it slow. If this doesn't work try and, refresh the media database. If all else fails contact us for more information.
