Backup discs could not be read error occurred (-50). HELP!

I'm using itunes 9.0.2; running Windows XP on Oracle Virtual Box in Ubuntu 10.04. the latest itunes will not work and 9.0.2 is the closest i can get.
One out of 4 backup discs contains only the itunes purchases and it works but a message pops up: +'could not restore some of the files from the play-list'+, +'they may be on other backup discs'+ even though all the songs on disc play. I put the next disc in and the following message pops up: +'the disc cannot be read. an unknown error occurred (-50)'.+
Any ideas why this is happening? I loaded the discs in the latest itunes on another PC and it is fine. would it be that I may be using an older itunes then when i backed up the other discs and so not compatible? is that possible??
Any help on how to get all my music back on would be great!!

Then I'd like you to see if you can duplicate the issue with one of our sample from here:

vbnet_win_export.zip will probably be the best sample to use.

Error:the ipod cannot be updated. the disc could not be read from or writte

May sound silly I am sorry, new to this. Just got an ipod shuffle and have gone through all troubleshooting suggestions ie: restore ipod, reinstall software etc. Am getting an error: "The ipod "administrator's ipod" cannot be updated. The disc could not be read from or written to". This occurs when I click and drag a playlist from the source section to my ipod in the source section. Getting a wee bit discouraged by reading all the problems associated with this ipod and am hoping for an easy fix to slide past further frustration. Please help. Thank you muchly.

Go to the iPod Shuffle Support Page, look around in there, and follow the troubleshooting steps in the article entitled "Can't be written to" or words to that effect.

Error: This disc could not be read from or written to....

Hi,
Just got a new ipod video 30g. When transferring songs, fails after a while....transfers some songs then this error pops up:
"Attempting to copy to the disk 'Joe's Ipod'failed. The disc could not be read from or written to."
I've searched this in the help section and this page comes up:

But my computer software is very minimal..and Windows XP is up to date. Cords appear fine and not loose...
HAVE NO IDEA What the problem is. I've tried restoring it to original settings. I've even reinstalled iTunes...
Anyone know what to do?
Is my iPod just faulty?

Error Message 'Disc could not be read from or written to' HELP!!!!!

I'm a novice at all this, so any sympathetic help would be really welcome. I have downloaded the uptodate iPod and iTunes updates but I still keep getting the failure message ' Attemting to copy to iPod failed. the disc could not be read from or written to.' It is downloading some music, on occasions, but not all. What is wrong? Is my iPod faulty? Any help would be welcome.

Thanks Jeff. Only thing that rings true is updating OS; when I tried to downoad 10.4 message said I 'could not on this computer'. Since I purchased and installed 10.3 a year ago I don't understand. Also, iPod was downloading perfectly until two days ago when -36 appeared. Bummer. I am not a techie, Apple tech support does not have a clue, and iPod is useless. Ideas?

I tunes: when trying to burn a playlist I keep getting the message: the attempt to burn a disc failed. The disc could not be read from or written to. I am using version 12

I tunes: I am using version 12 of I tunes. Ever since downloading it I get the message when trying to burn a playlist it says, The attempt to burn a disc failed. The disc could not be read from or written to.
I uninstalled V-12 and then reinstalled it. This enabled me to burn a disc again but after a couple of tries I received the same error message again. Has Apple put out a fix to this problem that anyone is aware of?
Thanks.

Hi rossfrombluffton,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The resource below provides some general things to consider when burning a disc with iTunes. I would also try burning a music CD and a data disc from a different application in the Windows OS and trying a different brand CD just to confirm the issue is not with the optical drive.
Can't burn a CD in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-ae/HT203173
Find out what to do if you can't burn an audio CD using iTunes for Windows. Sometimes an audio disc may not burn as expected. Here are some things to check.
Update iTunes
Download and install the latest version of iTunes for Windows.Check for unauthorized songs
iTunes will stop burning a disc if you purchased one or more of the songs in a playlist from the iTunes Store and the songs aren't authorized to play on your computer. This message should appear: "Some of the files can not be burned to an audio CD. Do you still want to burn the remainder of this playlist? For more information on why some files can not be burned, click below."
To find out which songs aren't authorized, play each song in the playlist. Songs that play are authorized. Songs that don't play aren't authorized. You'll be asked to authorize any unauthorized songs.Make sure your playlist will fit on a single CD
If there are too many songs in a playlist to fit on a single CD, iTunes should ask if you want to burn multiple discs or cancel the burn. This message should appear: "The songs in this playlist will not fit on one Audio CD. Do you want to create multiple Audio CDs with this playlist split across them? This will require more than one blank CD to complete."
If you click the Audio CDs button, the burn will continue and you'll be asked to insert blank CDs until the playlist is completely burned. If you click cancel, the burn will be canceled.
To make the playlist shorter so that it will fit on a single CD, select a song to remove from the playlist and choose Edit > Clear. Repeat this step until the duration of the playlist is between 60 and 80 minutes. The duration appears at the top of the playlist window. Most CD-R discs can hold 60 to 80 minutes of music.
Check how many times you've burned the playlist
An unchanged playlist that contains songs purchased from the iTunes Store can be burned no more than seven times.Additional steps and submitting feedback

"Disc could not be read or written to"

Ok my iPod Mini has been all messed up. It started earlier when I updated it, but nothing I deleted or added was changed. It would update on iTunes but nothing would happen. I restored it and it's at that now. Now, whenever I try to connect it, i get a "Disc could not be read or written to" or else it just updates in two seconds without adding my library. My library has 579 songs in it and NONE of them are being added.
I already reinstalled the iPod software and iTunes, deleted any new songs, restored my iPod. I'm going insane from this. I can't even use it now because it's empty. Please help someone.
If it helps, iTunes is saying that I'm using over 39 Gig of memory when I'm only using about 2.5 gig.

See this troubleshooting article.

When I search for the error code, everything leads to articles about the device being jailbroken, which would mean Apple doesn't support that device anymore. Can anyone confirm this?

Time Machine not backing up - Backup disc could not be found

Time Machine has not backed up since April 2 because the backup disc could not be found. It was working prior to this. I cannot restore from prior backups - Restore button is greyed out. Time Capsule is not connected in AirPort Utility.

Installed Dr. Cleaner 3/29 and Memory Clean 3/29 - both were updates.
That.....is the problem. Time Machine does not like "cleaners", "optimizers", "keepers".....anything like that. Your Mac does not need these types of applications since they generally do more harm than good.
Anti-virus applications will drive Time Machine crazy as well.
My advice would be to remove this type of software from your Mac according to the software manufacturer's instructions.
Then power cycle the entire network.
If the Time Capsule disk comes back into view, you should run a Verify Disk operation as soon as possible. Your backups may now likely be corrupted, and if that is the case, Time Machine will not be able to back up until you erase the Time Capsule disk and try to start over again with a new backup.

Purchased a new Macbook Pro 13". I used migration assistant to transfer. I can't backup to time capsule. I am getting on error The backup disk image "/Volumes/Herb's Time Capsul/Herb MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" could not be created (error 17). Help

Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the page that opens.
Select the System keychain in the list of keychains in the sidebar of the window. If you don't see the list, click the down-arrow icon below the sidebar.
Then select Passwords in the Category list at lower left. Click the Kind heading in the list of keychain items to arrange it by Kind.
Locate the AirPort Disk Password with the name of your Time Capsule. Double-click the item and check the box marked Show Password in the inspector window that opens. You'll be prompted for the administrator login password. Make a note of the AirPort password, then close the inspector window and delete the item.
Also delete any other AirPort DIsk Password items for that same Time Capsule, which may have had a different name in the past.
Quit Keychain Access and try again to back up.

I have a 80G Classic and when I tryed to sync it with iTunes for the first time I got this message "Attempting to copy the disc Classic (iPod) failed. The disc could not be read from or written to.

Disk cannot be read from or written to error syncing iPod in iTunes.

I firewired I-tunes music from crashed I-mac to a new I-mac. Then tried to sync my I-pod w/ the new computer and got messages "I-pod cannot be synced". Also, "the disc could not be read from or written to- you don't have the privilege to make changes"

I firewired my i-tunes library from my old computer to a used I-mac which I bought. All purchased songs & playlists
were succesfully transferred. When I tried to sync my empty I-pod to the used I-mac I received these messages.
          - I-pod cannot be synced
          - The disc could not be read from or written to
          - You dont have the priveledge to make changes.
This is all my music legally downloaded and purchased from I-tunes. How to I circumvent this barrier?

I had similar problems, it was a nightmare and on a 3 month ipod too!. I use a Powerbook G4 at home and a G5 at work - both were returning the same problems. so I sent it off to apple, they quickly sent it back saying there was nothing wrong with and it didn't need to be repaired. I tried it again and the same problems occurred "disc cannot be written to or read from." I could copy 20 songs onto it at the very most. A couple of guys at my work suggested updating it on a PC, then adding tunes via my mac as normal - guess what!? it works a treat!?. How ridiculous is that!? an Apple product works best on a PC. these generations of ipods are obviously designed to work best on Intel based Macs. What is wrong Apple? are you abandoning the G-generation!? still, atleast my ipod works for now - it will prove a problem when I have to update the iPod's software since I don't own a PC or an intel-based Mac.

"Disc could not be read from or written to." ?? :S

My computer died about 3 months ago for reasons beyond me so I got it fixed, i've finally bothered to download itunes again & it says "the iPod "Hayley's beast" cannot be synced. The disc could not be read from or written to."
I'm quite happy for it to just wipe my ipod so I can start again but it wont even connect. Then when I go to put music on it the same thing comes up. ummmmmmmm.
Help?

Welcome to AD!
Does it do anything differently if you reset that iPod while it's connected to your PC?

[SOLVED] Pacman "config file could not be read" error during Arch ins

I've been attempting to get Arch setup for a while now, and after having some trouble with partitions, my wireless connecting, and setting up repos and mirrors, which the Wiki helped me solve, I've hit a bigger bump. While updating the system using pacman as the Beginners Guide says to do, I get errors when I try to continue the update process as follows :
btw: I'm typing this on a laptop next to my computer
[root@McArch~]# pacman -Syu
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/core could not be read
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/extra could not be read
error: config file /etc/pacman.d/community could not be read
:: Synchronizing package databases . . .
error: failed to updated core (unexpected error)
error: failed to updated extra (unexpected error)
error: failed to updated community (unexpected error)
error: failed to synchronize any databases
Any tips as to whats going on? I've tried to created said files, and even insert mirrors into the file, like in the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file but this doesn't seem to help

Glad you got it working.
I'm not sure what happened in your install but I just finished using an old 2007.08 iso and pacman first starts out with /etc/pacman.d/core, etc/pacman.d/extra, /etc/pacman.d/community ... etc., but I never had your problem when I did the #pacman -Syu after initial install reboot. The pacman update removes the above mentioned repos and replaces them with a single /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. You must have messed up an initial config file somehow as I couldn't get the same errors you got. It looks like you had your /etc/pacman.conf file messed up somehow and when you pointed it to the mirrorlist it could finally work properly. I'll just include my /etc/pacman.conf file and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist so you can compare. NB* these are from my x86_64 so for 32 bit machines i686 would replace x86_64 in the files.
