"Disk can not be copied to"?
I have an aging 4g ipod (20GB) that started freezing up fairly often. Restarting got the sad ipod picture. So I restored & started filling up, but the sync stopped at about 10GB and a message popped up that said, more or less "Disk can not be read from or copied to". Unplugging & re-plugging the USB restarted the sync from where it left off, but eventually same message. So I removed the HD from an older 3g ipod (disk was fine, but the dock connector fried it's self), ran the HDD scan, alles good. But it still stops syncing at 10GB or so. And it still freezes. A lot. Is the ipod diseased, or is there an easy software fix? Is this unusual?
"Disk can not be read from or copied to"
have you tried working through the suggestions from the following document?
"Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod

Error..Disk can not be read or written to
I keep getting the error message...attempting to copy to the disk failed...disk can not be read from or written to. I have talked to Apple 3 times and everytime they tell me to return the ipod. This is the 3rd time and I know it's not the ipod..Please help!!
i just got a 30gig and was trying to load it with
music and getting the same message. what finally
worked was unhooking a usb hub and just hooking only
the ipod and keyboard to the back of the pc. now i
have to figure out how to get the rest of my usb
equipment hooked back up so it won't interfer with
the ipod.
Try a powered USB hub... -
The disk can not be read or written to!
So this is the setup:
Latest version of iTunes running on the wifes PowerBook under 10.4.X
I’m using a new 4th Gen iPod Nano and I’m trying to sync the iPod to the library. Its gets about 400meg in and then comes up with error ‘The disk can not be read or written to etc etc...’ It stops at the same time every time.
The library is split between 70% CDs and the other 30% is are tunes copied over from my iTunes library.
I’ve authorised her Mac to play them so there should be no issue there (I think) as purchased tracks do play in her iTunes.
I’ve tried repairing permissions
Restoring the iPod and making sure the FW is up to date
Changing USB ports
What else can I try?
Thanks in advance.Hello Sean,
Have you also tried reformatting the iPod using the tools provided by Windows?

I recently got a new PC and had all of my files moved to it. However, when I sync my iPad and IPod nano I get a message that states that 41 of my items can not be copied to the PC because it is not authorized on my account even though it is. I have tried de-authorizing it and re-authorizing it but they still will not copy. Any thoughts on how I can get them to copy?
"Note: If you no longer have access to a computer that is using one of your authorizations, you can deauthorize all of the computers associated with your account by following the steps at the bottom of About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization".
Authorize the new computer. Launch iTunes. Go to the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

Disk can not be read from or written to
This iPod nano second gen is brand new. Bought it today and I put like 10 songs and 10 photos on for my sister and now it's saying "disk can not be read from or written to" and now it's not showing up in iTunes or "My Computer". Help, please?
Is there an error number listed in the message? This would be helpful. You may also want to check for other threads that may have already answered your questions before posting. Another good option even before using the forums is to go to the iPod nano support section and then search through the articles for possible solutions. The links I have provided to some of your threads have come from aquick search of the problem you listed starting on the main support page Support.

Itunes application can not be open the disk can not be read from or writte
itunes can not be opened the disk can not be read from or written to. That is the warning i get when i click my itunes to open it. Problem...
there is no disk:) i have no idea what this warning means.. i have restarted and nothing.. i updated itunes and same warning.. there is no disk in the drive at all..
infact i made sure i was in a room with no other disks.. Help??A few things to try:
• Restore Permissions, using Disk Utility (in ~Applications/Utilities)
• Set the correct Ownership & Permissions for the iTunes folder:
Select the iTunes folder in ~/Users/YourUsername/Music.
Get Info (command-I).
Expand 'Ownership & Permissions' and 'Details:'
You must read: 'You can Read & Write': if not, change it.
Click on the 'Apply to enclosed items...' button.
Hope this helps.

My Startup Disk can not show in Finder.
My Startup Disk can not show in Finder.but it can be used in OSX normally.
So can I put it back to Finder?If the startup disk is for Mac OS 9, neither MacBook nor PowerMac G5 can boot into 9. Only the PowerMac G5 can use Mac OS 9 in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Classic.
Please be more detailed what sort of Startup Disk you are talking about, which operating system, and which machine this is a problem with. -
I have downloaded Peppa Pig series using Itunes and have tried to sync the tv programme to both my Ipad Mini and IPhone 5. However neither work saying that 'videos from Itunes Libary can not be copied to 'ipad' because they can not be played on this I Pad. I have downloaded the HD episodes is this my problem or do i need to download a 'video watching' app? Please help we are going away next week and the episodes were to help keep my toodler occupied on the plane. thank you
The error you received kinda looks like the one in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4223
But the iPhone 5 and the iPad mini should support HD videos.
What I would try is downloading the movies directly to your iPad mini or your iPhone. You will want to do this when connected to Wi-Fi, but you can follow these steps in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
I hope that helps! -

The hard disk can not be split because some files can not be moved
Prerequisites: Computer has had a partition installed in bootcamp with a non-complete Windows XP installation
Started by uninstalling the old windows and restore the partition.
Got error on disk so it was cooked by the Lions recovery and was OK
Trying to re-install Windows, but get the same problems that
"The hard disk can not be split because some files can not be moved"Problem solved by reducing the size of the windows partition to 40GB (from 50GB).
I had a quit full disk so perhaps that influenced, not i have about 43GB left for mac and 40GB for windows -
how can i retrieve information from time machine if my computer has less storage capacity? How can I access data that is on my time machine but can not be copied to a computer with less storage capacity? I used to have 180 GB, now I have 128 GB.
Plug an external drive into the computer and use that to expand data onto.

"disk can not be erased" error message on Time Machine back up
I keep getting a "disk can not be erased" error message as I try to restore a recently repaired computer from Time Machine Backup. I did a Disk Verify and Permissions Verify. No help.
Help!Use migrate rather than whatever it is you are doing.. TM has loads of limitations and I suspect you are trying to do something that is not allowed. like recover from an older to a more recent OS..
Read the info from Pondini about recovery and migrate here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html
It is somewhat out of date but still useful.
No luck tell us what version OS is in the backup and what version is now on the computer.
