Disk error - not! But still problems

Ever since updating my ipod to version 3.1 or 3.11 I get a random error in itunes when updating the ipod over usb2.
The error message is:-
"attempting to copy to the disk IPOD failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"
I've reformatted the disk from win XP disk management (not a quick format) and I've run the apple ipod hdd scan and the disk appears to be fine. Also if I carry on after the error it will carry on updating and then the error happens again.
If I carry on by switching the pod over to the usb1 interface the ipod will sit happilly and completely update with no errors but as you can imagine it takes ages to do.
Any ideas please, this is driving me barmy.

I'd check the console log for error messages. It may contain more specific information about the problem, though the messages are usually very cryptic. To view the log, launch the Console utility, select "All Messages" and scroll to the bottom of the messages (which are the most recent ones), then plug the drive in. At this point, several messages will appear as the OS recognizes the device and hopefully a more specific error message will be shown that someone here may recognize.

  • I have followed the Apple Support instructions I did it 3 times and this message always appear: "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer" and 'Error 7' but still not able to run iTunes. Anyone have a suggestion... Please!

    I have followed the Apple Support instructions but these 2 errors always appear: "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer" and 'Error 7' but still not able to run iTunes. Anyone have a suggestion?

    Try completely removing and reinstalling iTunes and all related components; you may need to do this multiple times. It won't normally affect the iTunes library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    I can not get to iPhone screen, so no way to get to Settings. That is the problem. When I connect phone to iTunes I get screen asking to insert SIN card. On the phone I'm getting Cinfigure screen asking Launguage , Country or Region, Wi-Fi, ( I can connect to my home wi-fi), and last screen "Activating your iPhone". After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
    Like I mention, I went to Bell as well Rogers store and tried to insert active SIM card with no results.
    Yes, my friend unlock the phone to use with Rogers but I don't know where

  • Your disk could not be partitioned Problem

    Hi, im having issues with installing windows on my mac, which it seems like most people do haha.  I have a Macbook Pro 13-inch, mid 2012, with 10.8.4, with a 2.5Ghz Intel Core i5, a 4 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3, and a Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB.  I got a download through my work for Windows 8 pro, 64-bit.  I first downloaded it through a download manager but when I ran bootcamp assistant, and checked all three boxes, in the picture ().
      I recieved an error trying to put it onto a 16gb usb.  I redownloaded it through firefox, and when I tried again, it download windows 8 along with the software support.  I set windows to 80 GB and set partition, but then I recieve an error that the disk could not be partioned ().
      Any ideas what the issue could be?

    Well along with 1000 other identical posts,
    your disk needs to have unfragmented free space.
    sometimes just shrinking the partition and then moving it back to full length works.
    Not sure why the support software which has to be on FAT volume failed.
    How do I use the Boot Camp 5 Support Software I downloaded from the web page?
    The download file is a .zip file. Double click it to uncompress it.
    Double-click the Boot Camp disk image.
    Copy the Boot Camp and "$WinPEDriver$" folders to the root level of a USB flash drive or hard drive that is formatted with the FAT file system (see question below for steps on how to format).
    Install Windows, leaving the flash or hard drive attached to the USB port of your Mac.
    Installation of the drivers can take a few minutes. Don't interrupt the installation process. A completion dialog box will appear when everything is installed. Click Finish when the dialog appears.
    When your system restarts your Windows 8 installation is done.
    Note: If the flash drive or hard drive was not attached when you installed Windows and was inserted after restarting into Windows 8, double-click the Boot Camp folder, then locate and double click the "setup.exe" file to start the installation of the Boot Camp 5 Support Software.How do I format USB media to the FAT file system?
    Use Disk Utility to format a disk to use with a Windows computer. Here's how:
    Important: Formatting a disk erases all the files on it. Copy any files you want to save to another disk before formatting the disk.
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the disk you want to format for use with Windows computers.
    Click Erase, and choose one of the following from the Format pop-up menu:
    If the size of the disk is 32 GB or less, choose MS-DOS (FAT).
    If the size of the disk is over 32 GB, choose ExFAT.
    Type a name for the disk. The maximum length is 11 characters.
    Click the Erase button and then click Erase again.

  • Hard Disk Crash, Have Backup but still problems - Help!

    Hello,
    My mother board, power supply and hard disk crashed, but I had my iTunes backed up using Norton Ghost. After installing a new system board, power supply and hard disk, I installed the OS, installed iTunes 7 and then restored the library from backup.
    Problem is that now I have a whole bunch of songs that have a ! icon. When I try to play them, iTunes says that it cannot locate the song.
    Any ideas???
    Also, I have not hooked my iPod up to this machine. Will iTunes have issues with this iPod or will it recognize it since the library I restored is from that iPod?
    Thanks, John

    X-((I'v come to talk to myself.
    It apears that it might be cuased by some software?
    But y when i get some errors in memtest :-/,   I dont know if i should rma or replace my ram.    
    Still looking for suggestions.

  • Grainy photos in PrE 11 slideshow when burning to DVD. I have read numerous topics but still problem persists. Please help.

    Well, the title pretty much says it all. I have an issue concerning grainy pictures.
    First, let me give a brief introduction on what kind of project we are dealing with here. As I have been reading these forums for hours for the past days I already have a good understanding of what is of importance, so further details below.
    Introduction:
    Video editing started to become a real hobby. I learned to edit using Pinnacle studio, but the numerous bugs and flows forced me to try something else. Adobe to me is 'the real deal' and you only learn to use a program like PrE by just doing it! So for this project I thought I might give it a go:
    I am editing a video of my uncle's funeral. The funeral has been taped for grandchildren-yet-to-come. All (but one clip) has been filmed using the same camera. However, I do not have access to the camera and I am not the camera man. When music was played during the funeral, the camera was not rolling, so I added this music myself and put a slideshow (which was shown on the day itself) during the music.
    During the project I made several quick, medium quality renders to show my cousin (who's dad has passed away) the progress I was making. During these renders, I could not note any photo quality issues. Ofcourse also because of the low quality render settings.
    Anyway. When I finished editing I was pretty happy with the end result. My cousin approved so I decided to burn it onto a DVD so it could be further distributed to the rest of the family. Burning failed initially, but later after a reboot everything worked fine. Then I played to DVD on my TV and found out that the quality of the pictures used in the slideshows was horrible. I could not even recognise faces, it was that grainy!
    First. The 'specs':
    Camera used: Sony DCR55
    Project settings: PAL > Hard disk, flash memory camcorders > Widescreen 48kHz (I live in a PAL region: Netherlands)
    UNchecked: Force selected Project Settings on this project
    Then the photos part:
    All photos JPG
    So, onto the part of 'what I have already tried' (and failed, otherwise I would not have been typing this)
    What I have tried so far after reading dozens of discussions:
    1) Check if the DVD burner was not to blame. So I burned to a folder on my HDD. Similar result as to what I see on my TV when I burn it onto a DVD and play it.
    2) Recheck project settings. Everything seems OK to me. Also when I use right-click on the added clips to check whether settings are still OK. They are. Also for the pictures, which surprised me because the widescreen video clips use non-square pixels and the photos obviously don't. (Thumbs up for Adobe)
    3) Resize pictures to used resolution (720 x 576) before adding them. No improvement, exactly the same.
    4) Turn off 'scale to 'framesize'. No difference.
    Finally, I want to address the term 'quality'. Below you will find a scaled down image to the same resolution as mentioned before, compared to a still of the DVD:
    Upper pic is rescaled using MS paint. Still looks pretty sharp.
    Bottom is a still from the DVD file. Note the 'graining' and the horizontal lines.
    This leaves me with 2 questions:
    1) What can I do to get rid of the poor quality pictures
    2) Why do I lose horizontal pixels (as can be seen in the bottom picture)
    If anyone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

    Dear ATR,
    I apologize for my late response. I was on holiday

    Question...Your camera is a miniDV camcorder....what did you capture from it and into what....
    Did you do a DV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements Capture Window to get DV.avi Widescreen (any mention of Type 1 or Type 2)
    or
    Did you do HDV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements Capture Window to get HDV (MPEG2.mpg)
    From your description of your video (720 x 576) it would seem your captures gave you DV AVI Widescreen. Is that correct?
    In your run throughs so far, has the video presented as poorly as the jpegs?
    Add On...In those last 3 screenshots, what were the resolutions
    Still resized - 1920 x 1080?
    DVD-VIDEO  screen capture of video? - 720 x 576 16:9 which would display after encoding about 1054 x 576
    MP4 - ?
    First. The camera is not a miniDV camcorder, but a harddisk recorder, which is why I chose that particular preset (PAL > Hard disk, flash memory camcorders > Widescreen 48kHz). source: http://www.sony.lv/support/en/content/cnt-specs/DCR-SR55E/list
    So it's fairly easy. Shoot video's. Connect to PC and just copy paste the video files of the camera onto the computer.
    This gives a resolution of 720x576. With a pixel aspect ratio of 1,4587 (as shown by PrE, when I click on a clip > show properties)
    The video does not really look that bad. Actually there is hardly any noticeable difference between the original un-editted videos and the edited complete version.
    Concerning the 3 screenshots.
    The first is the same as before: a rescaled image using MS Paint. Scaled from original 3264 x 1836 to 1024 x 576
    The second is a capture from the DVD file (which was burned to a folder)
    The third is a capture from a created MP4 video file
    Clearly photo 1 is the best. Photo 3 is still acceptable to me, but photo 2 (DVD) is unacceptable if you ask me.
    Hope this new info helps. Thanks for your efforts so far.

  • My cursor isn't working on Firefox so I can't scroll down - I must manually hold vertical bar to move page - I've already tried troubleshooting - helped temporarily, but still problem now - cursor otherwise works on other servers

    My cursor isn't working on Firefox, so I can't scroll down - I must manually hold the vertical bar to move page.

    I have had this nagging problem several times. Each time more frustrating than the last.
    '''PDF''''s. If you have a .pdf page open in Firefox (as often happens when looking at brochures and whatnot from websites) the mousepad side scroll function will not work. Plugging in an external usb device works just fine, making the situation that much more aggravating.
    Simply close any windows or tabs from Firefox that are displaying .pdf's, and the blood pressure "should" return to normal values. If your blood pressure doesn't return to a satisfactory value, see your family doctor. He'll probably ensure your continued trust in Firefox is still better than any experience with explor.er.

  • Verifying disk came clean, but still unable to start up.

    So, for the past few weeks I have had the problem of the endless spinning wheel while starting up my macbook pro. I have tried booting it up in safe mode, single-user mode, fsck, everything. So today I got the installation DVDs and I ran the disk utility verification and repair. It came up clean, and so did the Apple Hardware Test. I'm dumbfounded, what should I do?
    Thanks

    Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC; then, try again. If no go, reinstall the OS.

  • Have downloaded Itunes 11.1.15 for mac but still problems.

    We upgraded the software on the mac (imac4,1 - Intel core duo 2 Ghz) to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and then updated to 10.6.8. I have a new Nano 7th gen and when I plug it in the message says " the ipod nano cannot be used because it requires Itunes version 10.7 or later". however I have downloaded itunes 11.1.15. I have two other earlier nanos and an ipod Classic. All work on itunes on the mac but not this new one. I have spent hours and its driving me nuts. Any suggestions?

    v10.7 ...
    The most recent version of iTunes available is 11.1.5.
    It's referring to OS X v10.7 Lion. In other words, you would need to upgrade your Mac OS X to v10.7 in order to synce the new Nano.
    See if your Mac can run v10.7 Lion >  System requirements for OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6

  • Replaced hard drive but still problems

    I just got my hard drive replaced on my powerbook. However when I run some internet programs there is a loud winding noise, as if it was working very hard and then the display goes black. I press the On button and it turns back on. Does anyone know the problem?

    Did you get it replaced from Apple? If so, take it back or send it back.
    If you ordered it new from a reputable retailer/reseller, ask for an RMA and get a new one. You have a bad hard drive.
    I replaced a failing hard drive in my "Pismo" PowerBook a few years ago due to a whining noise, and the NEW hard drive I got? Made knocking noises and later on, "popped" (the noise). I got a replacement right away.
    Anyway, I could be wrong, but the winding noise sounds like a hard drive problem and the screen turning black suggests even more so, but the fact that it turns back on when you press the on button is an anomaly.
    See if it sounds like any of these:

    If that happened to me, I would try resetting my iPhone.
    Hold the home and on/off buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
    Hopefully that will fix it.
