• Hello there! I got my iPhone 6 last November and
  downloaded iTunes to my computer. Now Im no
  stranger to iTunes seeing I had the iPod 4 a long
  while ago I never had any trouble syncing my
  iPod to this computer, every time Ive plugged my
  iPhone into my laptop, it connects, starts the
  sync progress, then pops up with a message box
  saying Angels iPhone cannot sync to this
  computer. Error occurred (-54). I would like to
  know what that means, and how I will be able to
  fix it? Id really like to sync my phone to my
  laptop. Please and thank you in advance.

• It is believed that many iPhone users are coming
  up with the syncing problems of iTunes, and many
  of them have lost important data in their
  devices. When confronting the sync of iTunes,
  iPhone users will always meet with all kinds of
  pop-up dialogs which notice the iTunes errors
  with numbers. For example, the user iamangellyons
  have encountered the Error 54 when he/she wanted
  to sync iPhone 6 to Windows 8 laptop. The Error
  54 of iTunes is a common syncing problem of
  iTunes, and it is also related with the authority

  administrative mode by right-clicking iTunes and
  choose Run as Administrator. After that, the
  user may be able to sync iPhone with iTunes
  normally. If not, the user has to restore iTunes
  library, and the following guidance will show you
