It can be several different reasons caused the problem e.g. hub, USB port, cable etc.

  • ITunes saying cannot read and write on iPod Touch 3rd gen 64Gb

    I just got an iPod Touch 64Gb and synched with my iTunes 9 on my MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. Getting error message after about 6Gb into the synch saying that it cannot access read or write to the memory of the iPod.
    Went already at the Apple Store to show and exchange the iPod... total surprise, my new iPod does the same. Do I have something wrong with my iTunes 9 (already reinstalled once)? My old IPod 80Gb with hard disk does all the synch without problem...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Found the issue: 2 corrupted music files in my iTunes library. iTunes does not say much about files it cannot read. Just stops the synchronization but not tracking of error further than that!! If it happens, keep working in finding out which piece of music is being copied when the error occurs then try to read it. I downloaded a new version from my TC and all is right now!!

  • Error! Cannot read or write to my ipod

    Whenever I plug my ipod into my powerbook, I get the error, "The ipod cannot be updated. The disk could not be read or written to." It was working fine, and then all of a sudden this happened.
    I've restored the ipod and reinstalled itunes, but I still have the same problem. The ipod is working fine, and I can still add music to it, but I have to do it manually and it locks up repeatedly. I have had problems syncing iphoto with it as well.
    Please help! I've talked to a few friends that said it is a sign that my hard drive is failing. Any thoughts?

    The solution is or at least it was for me is as simple as the "speed" of your USB conection. On my old PC i would connect my ipod via a USB on the front casing , no problems, when i changed my PC i used the front USB again and got the cannot read or write to ipod error. I just connected the ipod to one of the USBs at the rear and as i understand it they need to be USB2 type , have a go try all the USBs you have especially the ones at the back of your PC , hope this helps it did for me

  • Ipod will sync up once then says cannot read or write to disk.

    Is this normal? The IPOD shows up in Itunes after the first sync but when I go and try to update the ipod again it says it cannot read or write to disk. Tech support says this is normal but it does not make any sense as the IPOD still shows up in Itunes.

    the IPOd will sync up when I fiorst plug it in. the problem is when it is finished, Itunes says ipod update complete you can disconnect. I leave it connected, and if I try to update the ipod again after I download something or whatever into Itunes it comes back with the cannot read from or write to disk. I can unplug it and plug it back in and it work sfine. There is something with the software I guess that is not staying connected with the hardware after the first sync.

  • Ipod Shuffle connected but error (Cannot read or write on device)

    Hello,
    My Ipod Shuffle 2 is connected to my Itunes on, I can create the name and everything seems fine. When I try to transfer songs, Itunes is showing that it is synchronizing and then I get an error message saying it cannot read or write from the device. What's wrong? I try reset the ipod, re-install the Itunes but I still get the same error.
    What's happening.
    Please HELP.

  • I purchased an audio book from I tunes but when I sync with my I phone it respond with error saying could not read or write the file. It only sync parts 2

    I purchased an audio book from I tunes but when I sync with my I phone it respond with error saying could not read or write the file. It only sync parts 2

    Those videos are probably not in an iPod-friendly format. It’s picky about that. You can try converting them, if possible.
    As for the audiobooks, are you sure they haven’t synced? You’ve enabled it to sync books and checked the “Audiobooks” section of your iPod?

  • UPDATE : Toshiba Recovery Wizard 'cannot read from source file or disk' error (satellite L500)

    UPDATE 2: Phoned Toshiba tech support again, guided by techie to begin the recovery again. Just before phoning I was able to go into recovery options and view the drive setup and all the files that couldn't be read are on the CD so I've no idea why the error kept occuring, and neither did the techie. Fingers crossed it works this time but I'm not overly hopefully given that we've just done exactly the same as I did before.  UPDATE 1: I got into the BIOS and reset everything back to defaults and yay, my toshiba recovery wizard now starts! :-D  On the down side, when trying to do a factory default software / out of the box recovery I continually get error messages with regards to copying the files, for example 
    cannot read from source file or disk
    7z.dll
    Type application extension
    size 585kb
    date modified 7/14/2009 10.26pm
    other read / copy errors include PREINST6.SWM, BOOT_32, BOOTPRIORITY, CHECKMAXPTSIZE, CHGBOOT, CPU, CPUCHECK, CREATEPARTITION, CTRLDRVINFO, DISKWIPE, DMI, DPINST32, EBLIB.DLL, ERRORDIALOG, EW3BOOTSEQ, FWLINK, FWLINK.SYS, GETHDDINFO, GETKEYSTATE, IMAGEX, INFILED, INITRECAREA, KRAIADAPI.DLL ..... at which point I decided to 'skip all' :-/
    Any explanations as to what's going on and how I might be able to fix it would be very much appreciated! :-)  Thank you!
    I have a two and half year old satellite L500 with an Intel i-3 and 4 gigs of RAM, on which I was running Windows 7.
    Admittedly it’s had rather a hard life (I ran some very demanding CAD / graphics software on it) but it had always performed well until just recently, when after suffering several BSOD (which had never happened before), the hard drive failed.
    I partitioned and formatted a brand new hard drive (which is perfectly fine and functions normally when hooked up to another laptop with a SATA to USB cable) and obtained system recovery discs from Toshiba.  Unfortunately, when I try and run the first disc, windows starts to load files but then generates an error screen with the message Error F3-F100-0003 and a request to turn the computer off.  
    When I use the windows Memory Diagnostic to get into the Windows Boot Manager Screen I get the following;
    Windows failed to start.  A recent hardware / software change might be the case.
    To fix the problem
    Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer
    Choose your language settings and click ‘next’
    Click ‘repair your computer’
    File: \boot\memtest.exe
    Status: 0xc000000f
    Info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.
    I can also use F8 on startup to get into the advanced boot options but selecting any of them simply results in the F3-F100-0003 error message.  I’ve run a memory test using the UBCD, which tells me the memory is fine, and tried another hard drive (which also works perfectly well in another laptop) but no joy.  On phoning Toshiba support the techie said my hard drive had failed, but as I say, both hard drives are perfectly fine / usable when hooked up to another laptop.  I’m now completely stuck as to what the problem is and how I might resolve it – any advice / suggestions would be most gratefully received! Thank you in advance :-)

    Satellite L655-S5096

    the second disc gives me the the "cannot read from source file or disk PREINST8.SWM"
    My best guess is that the disc is not readable. Try copying it to another. Sometimes that works.
    Otherwise, order new discs from Toshiba.

  • Error message: "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod."

    I wanted to get my dad a new iPod for Xmas and transfer all his music from his ancient Classic. But when I connect to my MacBookPro, I get the error message: "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod." I see that 90% of the ipod drive is used, but I don't see any songs listed either on the iPod screen or in iTunes, which is worrying. Is there anything I can to save the music? He will be so upset that it's all gone...

    My suggestions, when Restoring the iPod.
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC.
    Disconnect all other USB devices, except the mouse and keyboard.
    Stop all other programs except iTunes.
    Good Luck!

  • [SOLVED] Grub Error "Read or write outside of disk hd0"

    Trying to install Arch Linux (as per client request) on an old Seagate Mirra Personal Server. I reflashed the bios to get rid of the Seagate modified ROM and put the standard, stock, VIA bios image on there. Everything boots fine, it boots windows fine. But when I install Arch Linux on the drive and try to boot, it errors out with
    Booting...
    GRUB Loading.
    Welcome to GRUB!
    error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'.
    Entering rescue mode...
    grub rescue>
    When I ran grub-install and grub-mkconfig during installation neither reported errors or warnings. I'm open to ideas but I need to fix this sooner rather later as this is for a client. A forum thread I found in regards to Ubuntu and grub error 18 said to run:
    apt-get remove linux-server
    apt-get install linux-386
    under Ubuntu and then it would boot. I know Arch removed i386 support a few months ago but im finding it hard to believe that the error above is because of an architecture mismatch. Also I didnt think the CPU in this thing was that old. Hardware Info from the arch live cd says
    CPU Vendor: Centaur
    CPU Model: VIA Nehemiah
    1 core, 64k L2 Cache, 32bit
    the Mirra is from 2007 or so, so I expected i686 Arch to be just fine for it.
    Ideas???
    EDIT:
    Wikipedia's Article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIA_C3
    States: "Additionally, it implemented the cmov instruction, making it a 686-class processor"
    So it shouldn't be an issue of i386 vs i686, right?

    Good morning to all of You.
    Sorry for posting in a [SOLVED] thread but I find the info that I am about to add relevant and I am betting my vital organs that someone else might find it interesting too.
    I did an upgrade last night on my Thinkpad 600E. I was not upgrading it for several days (2 weeks tops) as I lost my USB wifi card and had no internet access on this particular machine. So...
    As always before upgrade I checked my rss reader for news and sure enough there was a very informative post from Allan (thanks Dude btw.) in there:
    https://www.archlinux.org/news/binaries … ervention/
    I did as I was told and upgraded in the indicated way. All was peachy till I rebooted to get new kernel to load. I was met with the mentioned error:
    error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'.
    but the second part was slightly different.
    Error: You need to load kernel first
    SO since the error was different why am I posting here? Because even after Googling the whole error message this post was the first to come up in my search results so I am betting others will get here as well.
    Solution? After an hour or so of fighting (I tried booting up from the Arch CD and fscking partitions, reinstalling / reconfiguring grub, downgrading grub-bios and grub-common packages and many many other things) I finally rebooted to the Arch cd, chrooted (for all those that do not know what that means I would like to recommend this link as chrooting is explained in it https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … %27_Guide) to the installation and I have reinstalled the linux (kernel) package and redid the image with the:
    mkinitcpio -p linux
    and rebooted. Turns out that did the trick. Apparently something went wrong during the kernel upgrade. Possibly due to the changes explained in Allan's article. Reinstalling kernel / recreating image did the trick for me.
    So if You are still wondering what am I doing here and why am I replying in this thread - the answer is - 99% search results from Google suggests that this error means incompatibility between bios and the hard drive AND there is nothing really out there that I found helpful in this case. I mean it could not be a bios / hdd incompatibility. This drive has been used in this machine for few years and it was running Arch since November 2012... so this just could not be the case. I am just giving a shout to all those that will get this error that there is another option too.
    Kind regards. Thanks for reading. My apologies again for sticking my nose in.
    Andrzej
    Edit: Few months later the same error - fix does not work... Trying to figure it out...

  • Error: After Effect cannot open becaujse TBB.dll is missing

    Hi, I had a problem with AECC when trying to open it it said the error: After Effect cannot open becaujse TBB.dll is missing from you computer. Please Reinstall. I thought "ok, if I only reinstall it it is not a problem" but I came to another problem: How do I uninstall it? It does not show up in the control panel and on the CC Manager it says it is up to date.

    Mylenium's answer is a good one. Granted, you might not like the answer, but it is an answer that will solve your problem.
    Here's how to uninstall through the Creative Cloud software: Creative Cloud Help | Uninstall Apps
    That might fix AE, however, it sounds from your posts that Photoshop isn't working either, but your post isn't very clear. You say something about Fireworks too...
    More info about your specific setup might be useful.
    Again, it sounds like something got corrupted on your machine, so uninstalling all your software, running the CC Cleaner tool, and reinstalling is a pretty good suggestion if the regular uninstall/reinstall doesn't work.

    and why are there more than one version offered for install at the same time??
    For troubleshooting, for client compatibility, for workflow requirements, and for many other reasons. On my home machine I have AE CS5, CS6, CC, and CC 2014 all installed and am happy that I can download and install older versions of other Adobe software if I need them too.
