Cannot read/write error message when synching

I've been doing my best to get my iPod up to date, but every time I try to sync the message that the drive is not able to be read from or written to appears about an tenth of the way in. I've restored my iPod and updated iTunes but the message continues to reappear. Am I totally beat or is there a chance I can continue to use this iPod.
Please Help.

  • How do I resolve the "Mozilla cannot find runtime" error message when I try to start Firefox?

    Mozilla Firefox updated to version 36.0. When I click on the Firefox icon to open it I receive the message: "Mozilla cannot find runtime" I receive the same message if I try to open Firefox by selecting "firefox.exe" from within the Program Files. I subsequently uninstall Mozilla Firefox and reinstall it. It will open and run normally right after the re-installation. Then if I close the program and try to re-open it again, I get the same "Mozilla cannot find runtime" error message.
    The only way I can get Firefox to open is if I uninstall and re-install it every time I want to open it after the initial re-installation.

    ''sage68 [[#answer-700841|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    Hi Adriel,
    The "Mozilla cannot find runtime" problem has returned. It occurs in two situations:
    1. When Firefox tries to download updates using "updater.exe" (version 36.0.0.5531), which causes my "Norton Internet Security" program to notify me with the message: "Auto-Protect has removed security risk Suspicious.Cloud.9.B" This message is shown every time "updater.exe" activates.
    </blockquote>
    I also have experienced this during several upgrades, not just the latest. (I am using Windows XP and Norton Security Suite.) Norton identifies c:\program files\mozilla firefox\updated\xul.dll with the Suspicious.Cloud.9.B virus and removes the file. I can set the Norton installation to accept xul.dll but it would make more sense for a Mozilla expert to contact Norton and work out a permanent solution, for all who are facing this problem.

  • "This file cannot be found" error message when saving document

    Hello,
    Strangely, every time I click "save" in CS6 it opens up a 'Save As' window, (which shouldn't happen), then I click save witht the existing file name (it then tells me the doc already exists), I click OK, (and then OK to the next popup window) then get the message that "This file cannot be found".  I'm forced to click "ok" and the doument isn't saved.  I've tried saving it differently in previous versions and it still doesn't work.  I recorded a video of this behavior. You can see it here - http://screencast.com/t/W1GYK0zsrk 
    Why would it be trying to find a file?  It seems like an error message when trying to Open a doc, not Save a doc.
    Please HELP!!  I can't shutdown my station until I get the document to save.

    Yes, Mohit1233 - it happened with every file yesterday. Finally, I closed the doc (forcing me to lose my work), then restarted my computer and today the problem is gone. I'm working on a PC (HP);
    Barblove - I tried doing that yesterday (copying and pasting into a new doc), and still nothing. I also tried copying the work into a CS3 doc (but got an error message).

  • Read only error message when trying to save updates in Acrobat 10.6.3

    Hello
    Hopefully I'm missing something obvious here but when I try to edit a PDF in Acrobat 10.6.3 I receive a read only error message, I have been using 'Save As' and tweaking the name each time but this seems to be a clumsy way to go about a simple save.
    I am on a network and have read a previous thread that explained Adobe can sometimes be flakey on networks for saving PDFs.
    Any suggestion gratefully received.

    You may be stuck with copying the files locally and editing and then copying back to the network drive. I am not good with networks, but have noticed posts about network problems over the years -- often focused on specific networks. The solution is typically to deal with the PDFs locally and then copy to the network. In creating PDFs, it seems that some of the results had to do with the TMP folder usage, but I have no clue why.
    As far as AA 10.6.3, you must have a cloud version or something. The latest AA is 10.1.7.

  • Sync problems after switch from Windows to Mac; cannot read/write error msg

    I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software issue.
    I recently switched from a PC to a Mac. To move my iTunes files (50GB) I simply dragged and dropped them from my external HD to my new computer. I know that Apple does not recommend this process, but when I needed to move my library between drivers earlier this year, it was the only way I could do it without getting an error message that killed the process.
    Moving the files seemed to be a success. Everything appeared in iTunes, I was able to play the music, etc.
    I then tried synching my iPod (Classic 160 GB – I think 5th gen, it’s about 3 years old) on the new computer. I got some message that said you can only have one iPod per account and that I would have to wipe the iPod before syncing. I let it do that.
    Here's where problems began:
    With a few gigs to go in the sync I got a message that says something to the effect that iTunes cannot read or write to the iPod. Even though must of the library had been transferred to the iPod, before disconnecting the iPod iTunes wiped all but a few hundred megs worth of music from it. I've tried restoring the iPod a few times but that has had no effect. The first time I tried to sync the iPod it was formatted for Windows. I have reformatted it for Mac.
    Also noteworthy is that the first 3/4ths of my library copies very quickly -- 1GB a minute -- but then it eventually slows down to where 100 MB takes 10 minutes. It copies the files in a different order every time, so it doesn't look like it's getting hung up on the same files every time.
    In case I had a corrupted file, I deleted all the files added to the library since my last successful sync.
    Suggestions?
    Should I just go to the nearest Apple store and beg for mercy?

    Hi!
    same problem here.I can use around 30G of my iPod Classic 160G.If i try to upload more than that it will take very long time and finally freezes.
    Have no idea what to do..

  • With Firefox running, Office 2007 generates a "Cannot Empty Clipboard" error message when pasting information between Excel cells -- the behavior goes away when I close Firefox. Is there a way to prevent this?

    I am running Windows XP, Office 2007, and Firefox 3.6.13.
    Whenever I have Firefox running in the background and I attempt to paste information between Excel cells a "Cannot Empty Clipboard" error is generated. I have attempted numerous other fixes for this: Excel and Office settings. But nothing seems to help. When I close Firefox, the errors are no longer generated.

    The Skype add-in was the culprit in my case. Disabling it fixed the problem. As soon as I enable it, the problem comes back.

    So I did the update and it says mine is up to date but when I sync I get this message:

    Sounds like you actually have a 1st generation as those cannot update beyond iOS 3.1.3.

  • ITomic e-reader gives error message when trying to register DRM

    iTomic e-reader model IEBR7C  AH Version:GH321  Adobe Reader Version: 9.1.28890   2010.  when sending my Adobe ID via WiFi at Starbucks in order to "Register DRM," I get a certificate syntax error, what does this mean, how can I fix this so we can at least read the pre-installed e-books? Any suggestions appreciated! Thank you. P.S. The manufacturer is nowhere to be found, and Walmart wants to replace or refund, I would like to just make it work, I imagine it's my error and a replacement wont help.

    There are a couple of things you talk about here.  One is the Adobe
    software and one is the ereader.
    For the software, don't confuse Adobe Reader with Adobe Digital Editions.
    They're very separate products, and Reader does not work with ebooks in
    Digital Editions format.  So, are you talking about Reader or Digital
    Editions?  Your ereader and its instructions should tell you which one.
    Also, when you talk about 'registering DRM', that's not what happens.
    'DRM' stands for Digital Rights Management, and it's not software.  It's
    the way that a publisher, distributor or library restrict the use of an
    ebook - and you don't register for it because it's a set of attributes
    built into ebooks themselves, not Reader or Digital Editions.
    Next, the ereader that you mention is not supported by Digital Editions, so
    even if you get it registered, it's very likely that you won't be able to
    interact with Digital Editions.  THIS
    LINK<http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/supported-devices> will
    take you to the Adobe Digital Editions webpage that lists those ereaders
    and other devices that are supported.  Many off-brand manufacturers promise
    that their ereader will work with Adobe software, but in the real world,
    they don't.
    Getting to the preloaded ebooks on your ereader should not involve
    registering with Adobe, but it probably does involve registering with the
    manufacturer's website.  You may be able to do that from the ereader
    wirelessly, but you'll have to go to THEIR website, not to Adobe's.  Check
    the 'user's guide' that came with your ereader for directions.
    Hope this helps!

  • Adobe Reader 11 - error message when opening PDF's

    I have an iMac OSx.  Using Adobe Reader 11.  Everytime I open a PDF I get "an internal error has occured"  I was trying to uninstall Adobe Reader 11 but the uninstaller in my Applications/Utilities is not there.  HELP!!

    It's almost identical to what you posted. I think the difference was that I was trying on a machine with complete install of Acrobat which has the font packs and hence there was no hang/crash. Your file doesn't hang on that machine either.
    If you look at the fonts panel in your document: File>Properties>Fonts, you'll notice that it uses MS-PGothic font which is a Japanese fonts, and hence the Japanese font pack might fix this.
    Also, since you mentioned ACE.dll, the other possibility might be that there are conflicting DLLs on the system, commonly referred to as DLL Hell. Another thing to try would be to search the system for ACE.dll and see which all software install it.

  • Help!  SAP-LSO - LSO-AE "A Read-Write Error Occurred when checking in the Object"

    Using version 14 of LSO-AE
    WBT publishes fine
    Error occurs during check-in to Master Repository
    It seems to be a 3rd party WBT created by the NTSB, so I only have the SCORM 1.2 package, no source files unfortunately.
    Thanks in advance for any advice that is offered!

    Figured it out.  Not that this forum helped!  But here is the answer should anyone else have a similar problem on check-in.  The standard setting for the LSO Repository is 100MB.  Trying to check in anything larger than this, caused the above error.  Increasing the configuration setting fixed the issue and allowed successful course check in without the above error.

  • Error message when synching with iphone

    Does anyone know what this means? My Iphone wont synch to my Itunes anymore.

    378 MB on the phone may not be enough to "stage" the backup, so try freeing some space by temporarily deleting music or apps.
    It's also possible that the current backup on the computer is corrupt; try deleting it by going to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab.
    Finally, another option is to back up to iCloud. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262 for backup options. Also, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109

  • How can I open my file after 'cannot find -filename-' error message?

    OK, the bottom line is, InDesign crashes and I cannot recover my file. I get a 'Cannot find file' error message when I try to open the file.
    I am using CS6 on a MacBookAir, OS X Yosemite.
    I have tried finding the 'InDesignFileRecovery' folder, I cannot find it anywhere, it's not in my Library or Caches folder.
    However, I do work in dropbox, so I just headed over to dropbox to recover from their 'previous versions'. It starts to get weird. There are lots of previous versions (I save very regularly) but when I download a previous version (that I know was fine) it downloads with a indd.txt extension. So I remove the txt extension and keep the indd and everything looks fine, but then that recovered file gives the same message. I tried renaming the recovered file and opening that, same 'cannot find file' error message.
    I can open InDesign and open the file from the day before, but none of the dropbox earlier versions of that day's work. I am SO sick of this happening. It happened to me last week to, so far I have lost 20 hours work :-(
    I have tried quitting InDesign and restarting the Mac, doesn't help. The only thing I can think of is to 'save as' every couple of hours, at least then hopefully I only lose 2 hours work.

    Thanks, when you say 'hidden by default' then how does one find it? I have already tried the path you mention and there is no sign of a cache folder with Adobe files. Spotlight doesn't reveal anything either.

  • I updated my itunes to 11 and found out my phone and ipod were not compatible. I uninstalled it and reinstalled 10.7 but now I get an error message when I try to open itunes saying "the file cannot be read because it was created by a newer verison"

    I updated my itunes to 11 and found out my phone and ipod were not compatible. I uninstalled it and reinstalled 10.7 but now I get an error message when I try to open itunes saying "the file cannot be read because it was created by a newer verison" What do I do?

    Thank you for clarify I'm supposed to read the ENTIRE article. I thought I was just supposed to read the title and magically everything will fix itself. I appreciate you taking the time to help me however I do not appreciate the caps and the way you have addressed the situation. If you are not going to kindly help people/make suggestions just don't try! And for the record my conclusions are not illogical, the iOS7 thing is on the website in small font (which I got by reading the ENTIRE thing) and you should really find a new hobby because your socialization skills need some help! That goes for you too Chris. Not everyone is a tech nerd
