Attempting to copy to disk failed. An unknown error occurred (-69).

I get this error every time I try to sync my ipod touch. I have restored the ipod and have attempted to download songs but after 2.3G it gives me this error.
Any ideas?

Check the song that is trying to load after you have loaded the 2.3GB, it may be corrupted:

  • The Attempt to burn a disc failed - An Unknown error occured (4201)

    Well, what can I say. I love the fact the error message codes written into the software states the unknown error (4201)and yet can we find anywhere in the world a little list of what these error codes mean!? Needless to say if anyine can shed any light on this little gem it would be most welcome.
    I'm on a spanking new laptop (Acer 5810TG), Running Vista Home Premuim and this is the error I get when trying to burn discs in itunes.
    My previous Acer and Vista never once had a problem.

    could you post your DVD/CD diagnostics for us Cadolux?
    in iTunes, go "help > run diagnostics", select DVD/CD diagnostics, and paste the complete results into a reply.

  • Attempting to copy to disk failed.

    I was using my iPod in cold weather the other night. The battery died and when it warmed back up the screen was in grayscale and it was in "disk mode". I have since restored it several times and am trying to sync it with iTunes. I keep getting an error message "Attempting to copy to disk failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation". The iPod was syncing just fine prior to the cold crash. I tried changing the permissions in my iTunes music library and xml file. Help?

    First, reset the iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    and restart the Mac with the iPod connected; then try it again.
    If that does not help, connect the iPod to the Mac. With iTunes not running, run Disk Utility. Does the iPod's hard drive appear in the Disk Utility sidebar? If so, select the iPod's DRIVE, not the volume indented under the drive, in the sidebar and go to the Erase tab. Set the format type to +Mac OS Extended (Journaled)+ and erase the iPod's drive.
    If the erase completes successfully, quit Disk Utility and run iTunes. Immediately use the Restore button to install and initialize the iPod's software. You can then set it up and sync it as desired.

  • When synching my IPhone 3Gs I now get a sign "Attempting to copy to Disk failed. The required disk cannot be found." This is after synching a new Iphone 4s.. Help!!

    When attempting to synch my IPhone 3Gs I now get a sign "Attempting to copy to Disk failed. The required disk cannot be found."
    This is after synching a new Iphone 4s and having received some help from Apple Support who assisted with some setting
    changes. Unfortunately this was over a protracted period of time and I cannot recall what was changed. Apparently my 3Gs is out of
    its warranty and so they cannot help me unless I pay £25....
    Can anyone help??

    Well, attempted again today and now my iTunes locks up whenever I select a song! Also, my Volume Mixer on my Windows 7 will not open. Just terrific. Where's my MacBook???????????????

  • ITunes could not copy [song title] because an unknown error occurred (-54)

    For the past month or so I've been unable to sync it with iTunes. When I do, it starts but after a few hundred songs, I get the error that "itunes could not copy [song title] because an unknown error occurred (-54). When I click OK, it then says "synching" but nothing is actually happening, and the only way to even get my browser working again is to restart my pc. I have deleted the song in question, but it will just do it again with a different song. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes to the most recent version, reset the iPod Touch numerous times, As well as deleting the iTunes files off of my computer and reloading all the muisc to it. To make things more interesting, it does all of this on my laptop pc as well as my desktop. Now. all of this may have started before upgrading the software, but that was the last time in months that I tried to sync it, so there may or not be a correlatoin there.
    Any help is greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance.

    The above you are talking about refers to instructions for Snow Leopard (10.6) and you did post in the Snow Leopard forum area.
    Your system profile confirms you are actually using Lion (10.7.1).  Therefore, you should seach for Lion instructions in the Apple's Knowledge Base or post over in the Mac OS X v10.7 Lion forum area.

  • "Attempt to copy to disk failed"

    I just got a 5G 30GB Photo to replace my 4G (battery fried). When I try to sync it get so far and hangs up. I then get an error in iTunes: "Attempt to copy to disk "name of iPod" failed. The disk could not be written to or read from." Is my iPod's hard drive already fried?
    HP Pavilion   Windows XP   Using USB 2.0 to sync

    I've got he exact same problem. I too, was just removing the offending song, but since the "failed to copy" started, I'm starting to get other errors as well. It now takes iTunes no less than 10 minutes just to recognize a CD and I've seen the same "failed to copy message" regarding my hard disk. I've followed the 5 R's and the ONLY result is that iTunes dumped all 20GB of my music.
    Any help that doen't require reformatting my computer or dumping data is appeciated. I'd also rather not spend another $50 on a dock. I have repaired my priviledges. I am using USB 2.0. I have already tested (and exchanged) the iPod, I have updated my OS, iTunes, and now am debating on how much more I want to put up with this.

    there isnt any real way to fix this apart from doing a restore through itunes,
    once you done the restore you should be fine...

  • Error: attempting to copy to disk failed

    This is my first experience with iPod and I read the directions. I imported songs to the computer OK. The iPod came and it connected to the computer fine. The system was loading songs on the iPod just fine. After song 68 I get this error messge: "attempting to copy to the disk "name" failed. The disk couild not be read from or written to." This sounds bad. I tried the 4 step reset. I have itunes v8 on the windows XP Pro machine. And, the Nano plays the 68 songs just fine. Every time I try to synch more songs (and I even tried manual) I get the error and everything comes to a hault. Suggestions, please. Thanks.

  • HELP! Attempt to copy to disk failed.

    I have tried the 5 R's, but I still can not transfer music into my iPod. I have done all the updates, resets, etc, and nothing seems to work.
    iTunes recognizes my iPod and will automatically start to transfer, but will give me the "Attemt to copy disk" message. I will also, at times, receive a Device Timeout message which says "Specified I/O oerartion on Device\Harddisk2\DR4 was not completed before the timeout period expired"
    No music ends up being transferred, basically, I have nothing on my iPod because of this.
    Anybody have any suggestions or able to provide assistance will be greatly appreciated, thanks!
