NS_E_SYNCWIZ_DEVICE_FULL
Failure point and ownership
NS_E_SYNCWIZ_DEVICE_FULL with value 0xC00D11EE records saving sync settings whose selected content cannot fit the device. The producing call and its state are more diagnostic than a later aggregate Player failure.
Underlying mechanism
Automatic synchronization uses a Player-to-device partnership, a snapshot of selected playlists and a queue of per-item copy, delete or retrieval operations. The sync engine owns its own running state and can reject changes while a previous operation is active.
A working manual file copy does not prove that the Player’s partnership, playlist snapshot and synchronization queue are valid. The condition can be reproduced when the wizard selection exceeds usable device capacity before sync begins.
Trace fields worth keeping
| Evidence | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Producing object and operation | device and partnership IDs, sync generation and state, selected playlist identity/version, queued item ID and direction, subscription account, target storage, progress callback and first item-specific HRESULT |
| Key observation | target storage capacity, selected playlists and estimated sync size |
| Controlled comparison | Repeat the producing call after changing only this condition: reduce selected content or free space, then recalculate settings. |
Decision path
- Capture
0xC00D11EE, the exact Player/API operation and the first timestamp at which it appears. - Save target storage capacity, selected playlists and estimated sync size; do this before ejecting media, reconnecting a device, canceling a job or rebuilding the Player object.
- Correlate the result with device and partnership IDs, sync generation and state, selected playlist identity/version, queued item ID and direction, subscription account, target storage, progress callback and first item-specific HRESULT.
- Reproduce once with the original source and destination, then apply only this change: reduce selected content or free space, then recalculate settings.
- Start a fresh operation and verify that the original call advances without returning
NS_E_SYNCWIZ_DEVICE_FULL.

Safe correction
Correct this boundary by making sure you reduce selected content or free space, then recalculate settings. Then reacquire the interface or media state that produced it and repeat that call.
