help?

The quickest way to correct this error USUALLY is to restore your iPod. Make sure you have all your Music and stuff on your PC for a restore will wipe clean your iPod and then use iTunes to transfer everything back to the iPod off your PC. follow the link below on ways to correct this and links to info about "Restoring" your iPod

" Attempting to copy to the disk " ipod " failed. The disk could be read from or written to. "
I tried removing the files i just added but it didnt help. I tried restoring the ipod but it doesnt help. I know its not hardware problem. How do I find out what files are messing up my ipod.
It works fine with everyhting but music. Also it will start syncing then randomly give me this message, i got up to 500 songs (that play fine, but then it stops and gives me this bs. i hvae 3000 + more that wont sync. Can someone please help me before i smash this thing?

Eh, there could be an issue with one of the audio files it is trying to sync over. Best bet is to do a fresh restore on the iPod and then follow the steps in the following article to see if it addresses your issue. (and yes, I know it's not the exact error you're receiving, but try it)

Help! Error:Attempting to copy to the disk iPod name failed.

Error message: Attempting to copy to the disk <iPod name> failed. The disk could not be read from or written to
I get the error above when I am trying to transfer videos to my ipod that I have purchased from the Itunes music store. 4 of the videos I purchased worked and the other 4 would not transfer. I am not sure how to fix it. I have already restored my ipod once and that did not correct the problem.
Any suggestions on what I should do next?

Attempting to copy to the disk 'IPOD NAME' failed. An unknown error occurre

Hi I keep getting an error when I sync my Ipod.
"Attempting to copy to the disk 'IPOD NAME' failed. An unknown error occurred (-69)."
I have a 20 GB click wheel Ipod. And nothing is working to fix it. Restoring, etc.

I don't know if you've found a fix for your problem or what exactly could be causing it, but I'm wrestling with the same issue myself.
Some say it's happens when your files are corrupted.

Help - Attempting to copy to the disk "J" failed. An unknown error occured

pls help I get the above error Attempting to copy to the disk "J" failed. An unknown error occured (-69) when I connect my ipod nano 8GB Gen 3 and try to synch. Ive got the latest Itunes software, Ive done the 5 r's, Ive tried a different USB cable. I can't think of anything else left to try, when I d/c on my computer it doesn't bring up my ipod but under device manager its there, says its working properly

This is the same thing that just happened to me. My error message reads as follows: "Attempting to copy to the disk "C's IP" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to". I've reset and restored. It still will not add the last 3 songs that I have purchased from Itunes. I have completely read the manual and can't find anything that deals with this problem. I have only had my ipod for 10 months. I hope someone can help with this.

"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....

After trying to sync my ipad to a new pc, i get this error message "Attempting to copy to the disk "windows" failed. the device is not connected." but it is connected.

I have been trying sync my ipad to a new pc and I get this message after the sync fails:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "windows" failed. The device is not connected."
The device is connected, what is wrong here?

This is a common problem that is most likely caused by files that are not marked to have proper read/write permissions.
To solve this problem, follow these steps.
1. Close iTunes.
2. Using the finder, Ctrl-click the folder that contains your music files, then select Get Info.
3. Ensure that the Owner is set to have Read & Write privileges. Choose to Apple to enclosed items…
Once you have modified permissions, fire up iTunes and try to sync your music again. If it throws the same error message and still doesn’t work, research more about permissions in Mac OS X, as there could be something else not right with the permissions of your music files.

when I try synching my ipad 2 with my xps laptop i get the following message. "Attempting to copy to the disk os failed." How do I resolve the problem?

It would be useful to you if they had a different name, but the computer knows they are different. Create separate sync playlists for each device and go to the Music tab when it is connected and specify which playlist should be used for the sync.
