  • "attempting to copy to the disk C:\ failed. the file name was invalid or...

    "attempting to copy to the disk C:\ failed. the file name was invalid or too long." This was the message that I keep getting after trying to "add folder to library" of multiple tracks from an external hard drive. it only happens after a certain period of time.. i get about half of my tracks added before this message pops up. when i first got my i pod it worked fine. but after i hooked up my i pod several times without having that external drive on... the i pod took over that drive letter that my external drive used to use. so.. when i turned on my external drive, it was given a new letter.. then i tunes would not recognize those 1500 tracks that came from my external drive (explanation points listed next to tracks). so.. I deleted all of those files manually, then tried to add folder to library again from the new letter coordinating to my external hd. I kept getting that message above. after that i deleted all files associated with i tunes.. and uninstalled i tunes.. then did a reinstall.. did i tunes update from site... and tried to just add the set of tracks from that external hd... still same **** error. only now.. after i say ok to error... i tunes continues for like 2 seconds.. then has to shut down... ****!!! can anyone help me with this... anyone?

    just to update my problem... I finally figured out that i had to disable the "copy to my itunes folder from my library option. just so you know. apparently i tunes cant handle the large transfer to itunes and also at the same time copy it to your itunes folder... APPLE fix this!!!!!! this suxxxxx....

    Hey veo1,
    I found the following information about that error message:
    These messages occur if permissions are incorrect on your designated music folder or on a folder inside your designated music folder.

  • Burning the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed

    I get this error when trying to burn more than 1Gb of stuff to a DVD+R disc. or a DVD-R:
    Burning the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed.
    Error Code 0x80020022
    Any idea if my drive ***** or something?

    Hi everyone, just thought I'd update the thread.
    Last night i did a clean install of Leopard over the top of Tiger, and now the DVD drive works without the error. I was able to burn a full disk with no problem.
    I thought, incase google bring someone here, I'd post my sequence of events incase it helps someone.
    New MBP C2D migrated user from MBP CD
    Could not burn disks on media of any format over about 1.5Gb
    Put up with the problem as I couldn't afford to lose my MBP for 2 days while it was replaced by Apple.
    Upgraded to leopard with formatting drive and clean install. I did not migrate the user, I just reinstalled the apps I wanted, synced my dotmac goodies, and copied over all my data folder by folder.
    Result is a fully functioning DVD burner that burns without communication failure.
    Yippy

  • Communication between the computer and the disc drive failed

    The disc can’t be burned because because communication between the computer and the disc drive failed (error code 0x80020022). This computer has been out of the box for less than a month and this has been a growing problem.

    My problem was FIXED at the apple store..... there was something wrong in the system preferences and the genius deleted something that recreated it's self. Surely enough we we're able to burn a 600 mb dmg of nothing onto a few test disks. For anyone having this issue...it's NOT The media, it's some configuration issue within the computer's preferences. I'm telling you all to take your machine to the nearest apple store and have them fix it, if your machine is still under warranty the fix is free. There was no hardware issue, so the optical drive was not replaced.

    Burning disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed. (error code 0x80020022)  Any suggestions??

    Sadly, that error has umpteen causes, sometimes the drive is going out, sometimes it's bad media, sometimes a slower burn works, & rarely a Cleaning Disc helps.
    Bad File names can even cause it...

  • DVD player 5.4 keeps crashing using a variety of DVDs.  I have OS 10.6.8, and have repaired permissions, verified the disc, and installed the 10.6.8 update combo.  Several previous questions have adressed this problem.  What is the solution?

    DVD player 5.4 keeps crashing.  I have seen here that a number of other people have had this problem.  I recently started one DVD, and when I went back to it, it opened to a black screen twice.  It also crashes with other DVDs after I scroll ahead or back.  It gives an error message that it is skipping damaged areas, or sometines error 69889.  Playing this on a PC, however, there is no problem.  I repaired the permissions, verified the disc, and installed the OS 10.6.8 combo update, all to no avail.  Techs told me that it is usually the hardware, so I bought a LaCie external combo drive.  Still crashes.  Looked on Apple downloads and they don't list a 5.4 to replace this version.  Mac informer.com offers a free download for DVD 5.5- should I try this?  Why doesn't Apple fix this problem?

    Your suggestions did not help.  I repeated them again after the first try did not succeed.  Any other ideas?
    Would installing another copy of DVD 5.4 help?  How can I get another copy of DVD player 5.4, since Apple does not seem to offer it?  I do have the disc for Snow Leopard, but am not extremely tech savy (and maybe it is the same corrupted version). 

  • I interrupted a software update and my macbook pro will not boot. I have tried to reboot using the startup disc, I have tried to verify the disc, and repair the disc. It tells me I need to erase and reformat the hard drive then reinstall the operating sys

    I interrupted a software update and my macbook pro will not boot. I have tried to reboot using the startup disc, I have tried to verify the disc, and repair the disc. It tells me I need to erase and reformat the hard drive then reinstall the operating system. I do not have a back up of all my applications, my garageband music and other things. I also do not have time capsule set up on this machine, but I do have a 2 TB time capsule.
    Is there anyway to back up this corrupted drive so I can restore my applications later?

    There's an old saying.  If you don't have a backup disc, then there must be nothing important to backup.  That's just lesson #1.  Lesson #2 is to never interrupt a software update.  Not a good thing.
    OK, I'm sure you know this.  It just upsets me to read your story, knowing you have a lot of important stuff on your hard drive, and didn't use time machine.
    You're pretty much in a bad place.  My only hope for you is to boot to your Installation Disc, then using disk utility see if you can save the internal hard drive (by fixing what can be fixed).  You might be able to see your user folder and some of your apps.  I wouldn't even consider copying the library, because who knows what's been corrupted in there.
    Good luck.

  • The burn to the superdrive drive failed. the burn failed because of a medium write error.

    Hello, I have an IMAC (OS X version 10.8.3)
    And when I put a blank disc (dvd+R 8.5gb DL), it's not even shown in Finder!
    So, well, when I try to burn any files on it, it says:
    "the burn to the SuperDrive drive failed. the burn failed because of a medium write error."
    Please, help to solve my problem. I'm Russian & and it's really hard to find any help on Russian apple forums.
    (Hardware of the disc burning):
    HL-DT-ST DVDRW  GA11N:
      Firmware Revision:          JA18
      Interconnect:          ATAPI
      Burn Support:          Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)

    Or take your Mac to a Apple store and have the built in drive replaced.
    Having Apple replace the built in drive is around $120.
    Buying a aftermarket external DVD drive is around $30.
    You make the choice.

  • Updated to Adobe Muse CC 2014, 2 days ago and I CANT even open it! It keeps on displaying the same ASSERTION FAILED IN FILE error.

    I love muse and have been using for years now. A couple of days ago I was really exited that they had a new version the  ADOBE MUSE CC 2014 so I updated it in my laptop. Now it wont even open. I had spent the last 3 days uninstalling and reinstalling MUSE CC 2014 thinking that it would help. But nothing works. I keep on having the same ASSERTION FAILED IN FILE error. At this point I am pretty much desperate and do not know really what to do and to make matters worse I have freelance work that needs to be done and update. If anyone can help I would really appreciated it.
    In addition, if anyone from the MUSE CC SUPPORT TEAM is reading this, please work on making access to you guys easier. I honestly could not find a way to talk to anyone from the ADOBE MUSE CC support team about this problem.

    I had the same problem but good news is I found the reason of problem and solution;
    I was using Windows 7 in English with timezone setting for Turkey. Adobe Muse was in English and had same problem, to solve this issue I even installed new Windows but it happened again.
    Solution is easy, I just changed Muse language settings from English to Turkish and so far so good i never had any crash or problem.
    Cheers!

  • Will not having any ink in the color cartage cause the printer to fail the alignment test.

    Will not having any ink in the color cartage cause the printer to fail the alignment test.

    Hi,
    Yes. Usually the printer uses a combination of black and colour blocks to perform an aligment.  The specific patterns differ from printer to printer but the pattern is either read by an internal sensor or you have to take the page and put it on the scanner to scan the alignment page in some all-in-one printers.
