ERROR CANT WRITE TO DISK

I purchased a song and a short pxr video for my new ipod, every time i try to load on to the IPOD i get
"there was an error downloading your purchased music. The Disk could not be read from or written to."
I have tried both usb ports, i have reset the ipod, i have restored the ipod to factory settings... what is my problem??? this can't be difficult as i am making it...
please help.

Sounds like this was an error from the music store...
I would click on Advanced at the top of iTunes then click on check for purchases
Also make sure you have iTunes 6.0.1...
then if all else fails...
Restore iPod

  • MY HP Paviilion DV6 cant write recovery disks!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have Hp DV6-7043cl and i want to create recovery media on 5 disks,, when it prepare the data to be wirte on the first disk says error craeting media,,,,,
    what should i have to check to create the media dvds

    Normally that happens when generic DVDs are used. I use Verbatim DVD-R DVDs and have never had a problem creating recovery disk sets.
    I highly recommend using a usb flashdrive media instead of DVD disks. Flashdrive are far faster, more durable and reliable than DVD disks. All it takes is one scratch on the paper (or label) side of a DVD and it can become unuseable.

  • "Can't read from or write to disk...." iPod error

    I recently switched from my old PowerBook G4 (running Leopard 10.5.2) to a newer MacBook Pro (running Leopard 10.5.5). I migrated my account and permissions from the PB to the MacBook Pro, and everything is working just fine except for iTunes (version 8.0.2) and my older 160 GB iPod Classic (running 1.1.2).
    NOTE: THE VERSION OF iTunes ON THE PB WAS VERSION 8.0.1.
    Since the migration, I've been getting this "can't read from or write to disk..." error whenever I attempt to sync my iPod to iTunes. Previously, I'd never had any problems. I have tried to restore the iPod using iTunes - didn't work. I have tried different USB to dock connector cables - didn't work. I have even tried completely re-formatting the iPod using Disk Utility - didn't work. Everytime I begin syncing the iPod, it starts out just fine. At varying degrees of completion it ALWAYS fails with the same error.
    I had an idea. I tried syncing the iPod to a different computer - my G5 4 x 2.5 GHz (running Leopard 10.5.5) with iTunes (version 8.0.2). I still got the same error. I haven't dropped it, submerged it in water or done anything to it that would otherwise compromise its functionality. So, I'm at a loss.
    PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!
    Does anyone have any other suggestions? - OTHER THAN BUYING A NEW IPOD

    UPDATE:
    OK, after the visit to my Genius Bar; I thought of a variable that wasn't previously considered. Because their transfer of media was successful without the slightest hitch, I had to figure out something else.
    Everytime I had tried to sync the iPod with my various Macs, I was using the same process. Since all of my music and movies "live" on an external 500 GB drive, I was attempting to use that same drive whenever I would try to sync. It occurred to me that possibly the failing was in the drive and not the iPod.
    I have part of that library on a Power Mac G4 867 DP (running 10.4.9). I updated the iTunes on that machine to 8.0.2, connected the iPod and made a successful transfer of a large amount of media!
    My only problem now is that I can't figure out how to get the 500 GB drive to stop hanging on transfer and update of my Genius information. The drive just completely stalls and I get the spinning wheel from iTunes and the application ceases to respond. When I force quit iTunes, the drive recovers fine. I don't have any problems transferring data to and from it and Disk Utility reports that the drive is healthy.
    I have tried re-installing iTunes on all affected Macs - didn't help. I believe my problem may exist in the iTunes Library file or in the associated .xml document. My only concern is that if I do a completely fresh install of iTunes where those files would be re-created, I would lose all of my play and ratings data as well as the information about when my files were added. On a related note, when playing the music from this drive through iTunes. I don't have any issues at all.
    ANY SUGGESTIONS?

    After formatting my HD, restarting windows, spending hours on dell and apple tech support, buying a firewire card, i figure it out.
    I had a bad file in my library (it was a podcast).
    once i deleted it, everything was fine.
    see if you can see at what song you get that error and delete that song.. good luck.

  • Unknown Error (-69) Unable to write to disk

    Hi
    Has anyone received this error message when downloading to their IPOD Video.
    I have both purchased music and my own music downloaded into my library, all the downloads appear to be complete and I can play them from the library. When I try to update the IPOD I get the error message "Unable to write to disk "ipod" unknown error (-69). On checking the IPOD it seems that I have some of the music ( i.e. half of a CD or purchased album)but not all of the tunes from an album.

  • Cause of "unable to write to disk error"

    Using a epson perfection v100 scanner and keep getting an unable to write to disk error after it  scan and will not copy.   Any ideas about what to try to fix this? thank you..
    p.s. using snow leopard and I have already tried to re-dowload software off the epson site.

    Have you tried...
    Trashing preferences?
    Run Disk Utility?
    Instead of control-clicking on the drive, try control-clicking on the Capture Scratch folder and the project Subfolder and changing permissions.

  • "Can't Read Or Write to disk" Video Won't Transfer To Ipod

    I have transfered videos to my ipod in the past but I have two tv shows from the Itunes story that won't transfer.
    They are in the correct mpeg 4 whatever format. My itunes is the most resent version, but for some reason I keep getting the same error.
    "Cannot Read Or Write To Disk".
    HELP??!!

    I've got this problem too. My 5g iPod 30gig syncs after about 3 minutes with iTunes then after loading songs and videos after 10 minutes i get the same message your getting - "Can't Read Or Write to disk". I think theres some kind of USB2 conflict or something. All my other USB devices work fine. All my drivers and software is up-to-date.

  • Is my HD Dead? Reformat Disk Utility Error: secure disk erase failed with the error could not open disk.

    Hi,
    Fed up with seeing the spinning beach ball I decided to reformat my MacBook Pro...
    After backing up everything on an external hard drive I put in the OSX install DVD, restarted the machine and held down 'C'.
    I followed the install prcedure, clicking next a few times etc...
    I then went into Utilities > Disk Utility. I chose 7-Pass to erase the Macintosh HD and set it off erasing.
    I checked the process an hour in and message on screen read:
    Secure disk erase failed with the error:
    could not open disk
    The internal hard drive no longer exists in the disk utility so I cant retry erasing it.
    The only thing that appears in disk utility is the OSX install DVD.
    I can't even shut down the mac as everything under the apple tab is greyed out!
    I'm guessing this means my hard drive is broken right?
    If anyone has any other ideas of what to try I'd really appreciate that.
    How do I turn the machine off?
    If my hard drive is gone then should I consider getting an SSD drive?
    Any recommendations for such a drive would be great.
    Hope you can help!

    Did you partition the drive?
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

  • Weird Mountain Lion Error: Not Writing to Disk

    I've been having a problem where my MBP running Mountain Lion.
    Since updating to 10.8.2, my computer will randomly lose its the ability to read and write to disk. Files will not save, keychain access fails (asking me to reenter my passwords, which I won't do), and apps will not open (stuck bouncing on the dock).
    Booting into safe mode and/or resetting PRAM appears to fix this, but it's happened three times already. Because I cannot save my documents, all data is lost. Disk Utility does not find any drive errors or permissions problems.

    I still can't figure this out. It seems to happen after I have moved my computer from one location to another after putting my Mac to sleep. (Trouble waking from sleep? Different wifi signal?)
    I thought rebooting helped, but one time, I restarted my computer in class (after experiencing this problem) and the applications still wouldn't save. I reset the PRAM, and it was fixed (for now). This has happened to three times already.
    Reported my problem here. Hope Apple is listening.

    Did this start with 10.8.2 for you as well?

    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting

  • Can't add songs unless I restore the iPod. (unable to write to disk)

    iPod Shuffle 512
    Brand new XL SP2 machine with all windows updates
    The only way I can put new songs on my shuffle is if I (1) restore it, & (2) let it automatically fill. If I want specific songs to load I have to delete some of the songs that populated the playlist automatically & hurry up & add the desired songs to the ipods playlist because once it's done uploading it wont accept any more songs. It will give me that "Unable to write to disk" error. In a nutshell, the ipod will only upload during the initial session immediately after restoring.
    If I come back the next day or even just 2 minutes later wanting to add an additional song I have to start the process all over.
    This happened using the newest version of iTunes as well as an older version (about a year old) that I keep around because I know its stable & one of the updates in between caused my video podcasts to be choppy.
    Anything I can do or am I stuck?
    I knew I shoulda got a Mac!

    In my experince Mac is no better than PC, its all in the user and how much you know. I fix more Macs daily than PCs. Of course all the PC I work on I built myself... lets see you build your own Mac!

    The troubleshooting C17 is the specific article.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    This is generally a Lion error.. and you will need 5.6 utility to get access to the disk area.
    So download the real utility. Run it instead of v6 toy version.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Go to the manual setup, disk page and click on disconnect all users.. that will unmount all users connected to the disk and allow it to start working. But there are a number of other issues that are possible cause. Pondini lists some of them.
