"Drive not ready" message when copying files to iPod

I have had my iPod since 2004, and no problems, until recently. After updating most recent Updater, and restoring my iPod, I went to repopulate with my music files on a hard drive, and get this annoying "Drive not ready; door is open" message. It gives me opportunity to "cancel, retry, continue", but nothing works. Have restored several times now, and always the same thing. It will let me copy a certain amount of songs (about 500 or so) and then the message. I'm using a USB 2.0, and Apple dock connector, and have tried all ports available - so I know its not a connectivity issue. Is anyone else having this trouble after installing latest Updater? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

hi
I'm having exacly the same problem. I have removed and updated everything I can think of to try to resolve this, including removing anti virus software. I can update to about 420 songs, and bang, the ipod / itunes / computer freezes. It seems that finding another computer to check whether it's the ipod or my home computer is the next option. Life is too short for this. My old MD was way less problimatic

Weird error message when transferring files to iPod

Hi all, I just received a 64 Gig iPod Touch in the post today. When setting it up in iTunes (I'm using 9.0.1.8), I got as far as the screen asking me whether I want to automatically sync music/videos/apps every time I connect the iPod to my computer, and I unchecked all the boxes and pressed "Done" (or whatever it said). iTunes then hung for about 10 minutes, and then gave me an error message that said something like (I didn't write down the exact wording)
"iPod cannot be synced. The device cannot be written to or read".
Now whenever I transfer music to the iPod, it gives me the following message:
"The iPod 'Phil's iPod' cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13014)"
It seems to work fine despite the message - the music still gets transferred. Anybody know what's going on?

What would cause this message and why would it not be able to be played on my iPod?
This message usually indicates the file does not meet ipod specifications. For many making their own conversions, this could be incorrect formatting during conversion. However, since these files were supposedly processed by professionals, would assume target format was correct but the video content pushed the video data rate above the 1,500 kbps maximum limitation. Most of my tests using QT Pro produced files with average video data rates between 1524 and 1536 kbps and in one case had to adjust brightness and contrast to make the file acceptable for iTunes sync to iPod. That is why I requested that Baseline LC profile access be added to the MPEG-4 export option to allow manual custom conversions. In any case, be sure to report your inability to sync specific files to ensure they are properly "re-mastered."

Drive Not Ready Error Message

Hello all,
Today I tried to sync my Ipod and I got an error message that said "Drive not ready". When I turned my ipod back on, it was wiped clean. Itunes was not seeing the ipod, then it was, and finally I was able to restore it. However, when it goes to sync up after being restored, it only gets up to about song 300 until I get this error message:
itunes.exe - Drive not ready
The drie is not ready for use; its door may be open. Please check drive \Device\Harddisk1\DR3 and make sure that a disk is inserted and that the drive door is closed.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Lisa

My ipod was dead. It was trying to tell me that its little hard drive was worn out.

Error message when copying a music file from PC to BB

I get the following error message when copying a music file. Also I cannot delete any files.
"Cannot copy. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error."

Hello lcoyote and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Do you get the error on all media files or just one in particular? From where are you trying to delete files?
Is your media card formatted?
If you aren't able to add/remove media, try formatting the card as shown in KB10527
If you currently have photos on the card, try to move them to the computer first as formatting the card will delete all data.
Let me know how you make out
Thanks!

External Hard drive getting errors when copying files?

When I'm copying files to my hard drive I keep getting errors that the file is in use. It was originally stopping at around the 167.8MB mark everytime when I try copying files over and giving me that error. As this is a 1TB HDD I have no way of backing it up until I get to the US (currently studying in Australia). So just wondering if anyone had ideas.
Things I've done:
- Tried using HDD over Firewire/USB and with other Macs still same errors
- Tried Disk Utility and sometimes it I get no errors with the disk when I do Repair/Verify Disk or I get an error where the disk can't be unmounted
- I get that error of unmounting when I normally unmount them and I have to unplug the HDD for it to be readable again.
- I try copying files from it or to it, and sometimes files copy to my Computer entirely even 2GB ones, but other times it stops at random intervals, and it always stops when copying files to the HDD that never works, usually stops at random times. :\
Any suggestions, help, or programs I can use for HDD repair would be great!
Thanks a lot,

Wondering if I could bump this up a bit, still having problems with it.

IPOD HELP!!! receiving 'Drive not ready: door open' message

My 3rd gen Ipod is on its last legs. For the past few months half the music on the ipod would freeze the ipod. Now ive tried restoring, resetting, reinstalling, etc etc... the thing is a paper weight. Every time i try to load new music on it, it A) freezes itunes and B) gives me a message saying, "drive not ready, door open" or somthing like that. What can i do? Anyone have this happen before and is it fixable? Am i stuck on buying a new ipod? Thanks for your help!!
Greg

I get the same error message. 3G iPod, ever since the latest updater and iTunes came out. I've reset, restored, uninstalled, etc...
Nothing fixes it.
Maybe Apple wants us to buy a new iPod?

Windows - Drive Not Ready - isFile()

When checking to see if a file [using isFile() ] exists on a drive I get this dialog error message in Windows XP:
Windows - Drive Not Ready
Exception Processing Message c00000a3Parameters 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c
I get this message if there is no media in the drive such as if I make the check on an empty floppy drive.
Is there any way to check if their is a media in the floppy drive before deciding to check if there is a certain file on it with isFile()?
Trying to catch the error does not seem to work - the error seems to originate from somewhere in the OS rather than from java.
How do I get rid of this error message? I have upgraded to JDK 1.5 - the problem did not occur in JDK 1.2 so somehow that earlier version was able to avoid this problem.
This is part of the code:
String iniFileName = DEFAULTINIFILENAME;
File[] possibleRoots = getAllPossibleRoots(); // Mostly a call to File.listRoots() with some fixes
File possibleIniFile = null;
Vector allFoundIniFiles = new Vector();
for (int possibleLocationNo = 0 ; possibleLocationNo < possibleRoots.length ; possibleLocationNo++) {
possibleIniFile = new File(possibleRoots[possibleLocationNo], File.separator + iniFileName); if (possibleIniFile.isFile()) {
allFoundIniFiles.add(possibleIniFile);
} // if
} // for

This should run on its own - just compile it and run it on Windows XP - using jdk 1.5 for instance. I checked on jdk 1.4 and it also gave the error.
The error is that this dialog window appears:

You either have a mechanically or electronically failed disk drive or else your Operating System (I an presuming it is Solaris on that SPARC system) is completely mucked up.
If it is the OS at issue, you will need to install everything fresh.
If it is the 18GB disk drive, you will need to replace it and install everything fresh.
Either way, at some point you will have to go get your OS installation media and install everything fresh. The solution is not that difficult to understand.

Error message when copying from Acrobat Reader

Error message when copying from Acrobat Reader - any file, any time (Win 7, Adobe many versions until recent).
Copy works, but causes a needless and useless error message that has to be clicked away every time.
This problem is published on the web for a million times without a working solution. And even in the Adobe forum no qualified answer (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/441370)
When can I expect a solution?

Disk drive not ready

hello. My Itunes comes up and when I plug my Ipod in, a window pops up thats says disk drive not ready and shuts Itunes down
I tyed a go back but it did not work
thanks

have you check disk alias ?
exemple
disk /pci@400/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@0/sd@0,0
for disk0 booting.
I suggest you do the following:
ok show-disks
a) /sbus@7,0/SUNW,fas@3,8800000/sd
b) /sbus@3,0/SUNW,fas@3,8800000/sd
q) NO SELECTION
Enter Selection, q to quit: a
/sbus@7,0/SUNW,fas@3,8800000/sd has been selected.
Type ^Y ( Control-Y ) to insert it in the command line.
e.g. ok nvalias mydev ^Y
for creating devalias mydev for
/sbus@7,0/SUNW,fas@3,8800000/sd
{0} ok nvalias mydisk /sbus@7,0/SUNW,fas@3,8800000/sd@c,0
ok setenv boot-device mydisk
ok reset
I hope I helped you

Error when copying files from SSD to HD

Build 9926 (clean install not upgrade)
When copying file (drag & drop) from either an SSD>> HD or HD>>SSD I get the below error. This is definetly build specific and not hardware related. I have re-installed 9926 from an MSDN ISO 3x with the same results.
Both drives are local. Both drives have been checked and are ok.
Any ideas?

How to deal with the "driver not installed" message?

My issue, and it seems many others here have it too, is how to install a printer driver in the face of the "driver not installed" message.
In my case, it's an HP4160 Rendevous printer. I've deleted the com.apple.print files in the Library, reinstalled the software, made sure that BDC package, or whatever it's called is installed, even downloaded and run the printer fix software from Fixamac.
Nothing works.
I have the feeling this isn't a printer or driver-specific issue, but is an OS problem. Does anyone have a suggestion?

It appears the Deskjet 4160 will not work with an Airport. Connected via USB, the driver installs normally and the the printer appears to run just fine, although I haven't done much with it yet.
It simply will not work on a wireless network through an Airport. Frustrating, but workable by bringing the laptop to the printer.

Solaris 8 on netra T1 error - drive not ready

Hi I am hoping someone can help shed light on a problem we have encountered. I inherited a couple of very old netra t1 with solaris 8 on them. We had a major power outage whcih resulted in an issue with this server coming backup. On first looking at it i was able to get into the server via lom command prompt, i ran the power down command to gracefully shutdown and reboot but on starting backup the server is reporting 'drive not ready' and just hangs at this point.
apologies but i am a solaris novice, any help would be much appreciated. I am hoping this is something trivial....
thanks.

Just to update we suffered another power outage and returned to look at hte server to find different error messages appearing, this time the server was giving me the option to try and boot or go into single user mode, which i did and ran the metastat and got the following:-
