For no apparent reason, a few days ago iTunes I reflected the mistake (-54) indicating that the iTunes Library could not be saved due to this "unknown" error. The solution was very simple although, due to its unknown nature, there are alternatives.
Solution to error -54 in iTunes
On more than one occasion it will have happened to you that when connecting some of your iPhone or iPad devices to the computer to synchronize an error alert message has appeared on the screen. In this case we are talking about iTunes error (-54) which could be due to a connectivity problem.
In my particular case it was due to a compatibility problem between certain applications that I had installed on the iPad and their respective versions in iTunes in such a way that, when trying to update these applications in iTunes, I got this mistake (-54). I came to this conclusion when, after restarting iTunes and observing the "Updates" tab of the applications, several did not appear with their usual icon but with the App Store symbol in black and white, so I deleted them and magically the mistake (-54) He disappeared. Later I simply transferred these applications that were on my iPad but no longer in iTunes.
Although it is clear that the error, in my case, was due to a incompatibility between versions of the same appThere are those who point, as I have pointed out before, to connectivity problems so, if the solution that has served me is not effective in your case, try one or more of the following options:
- Restart iTunes
- Connect the device to another USB port
- Restart your Mac or PC
- Reboot your device
- Change the Lightning-USB cable
- Delete iTunes and reinstall it choosing, when you step on it, your iTunes Library that you will find in the Music folder
