When I try to copy a photo from my computer (windows 7) I get this error message: Cannot copy item. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected. Any help for this?

Are you syncing the photos using Itunes?
When you plug your phone into your PC, in Itunes under the picture tab you can sync photo and then choose the photos.

Can you select all Links in the Links Panel
Use the Flyout Menu on the top right of panel.
Choose "Utilities>Copy Links to"
And see if that works.

Work around "cannot copy to disk.....cannot be read from or written to.

While copying large files(movies or large amounts of music)to the iPod touch the error message" disk cannot be read from or written to" appears. Here is a work around for the failure.
1. Run the latest version of iTunes and connect the iPod. Perform the following after the failure (allow one failure to occur and repeat this after each occurence) This is only good for one movie or one large grouping of music files. Eject the iPod and allow 30 seconds after the plug is pulled before reattaching the plug to the iPod. Once the summary window appears you are ready to start.
2. In the movie tab behind the summary remove SYNC Movies check from the box.
In the Music tab remove the SYNC Music check from the box.
3. On the summary tab uncheck "manually manage music" in the options section. It will ask if you are sure, choose OK. Click "Apply" in the bottom right corner. Allow the iPod to try to SYNC... a message will appear explaining that there is not enough disk space, choose "OK".
4. Check "manually manage music" in the options section. Click "Apply" in the bottom right corner.
5. Drag and drop the selection of music or the movie over to the iPod icon on the left side of the screen under "Devices". The transfer should start and the progress graphic will start in the upper status window.
***I have only been able to move/ copy one movie at a time and one large music selection. When attempting the second transfer the error message returns and you have to start the process over. I tryed restoring, updating iTunes, different cables, updating XP, different USB ports, countless system restarts and threatening to smash it if it didn't work. I spoke with APPLE Tech support and they are aware of the problem and should be attempting to correct it. My iPod is @ its default settings. I have had no problems with single music files transfering but I have had it fail on as little as three in a group. Good Luck and I hope this helps.

Here is some more info on this issue. I've been having the same problem - I've tried disconnecting all other USB devices, making sure to plug into the back-side USB 2.0 port, I even went and bought a PCI card 2-port USB hub and tried that, but could never sync movies or multiple songs (usually less than 50 songs). Today, I was able to transfer 2 movies and a TV show and about 100 songs and the one thing that was different was that I was doing a video conversion in the background with FFMPEG (taking up about 90% CPU), so iTunes only had about 10% CPU while doing the sync.
Unfortunately, as I started typing this message, a third movie transfer just failed with the "cannot copy to disk..." read/write error. Oh well, just thought I'd get the info out, as this is an exteremely frustrating issue, and hopefully the more info we have we'll eventually be able to figure it out.

Unknown error when syncing iPod

I've been trying to sync my iPod to iTunes but this error comes up.
+"Attempting to copy to the disk "LILY'S IPOD" failed. An unknown error occurred (-69)."+
I've tried restoring and it has restored the iPod just fine, but once I connect it to try and sync it again the above error comes up. I've restarted my computer, I've searched for iPod updates. I was using iTunes version 8.0.0.35 and installed 8.0.1.11 and I still get the error.
Can anyone help me? Thanks

Syincing error message "Cannot find required disk" - Help!

I have a third gen 4gig nano that I got at Christmas. I added two CD's onto it when I got it. Now, however, I'm having trouble syning anything else - that's all I've been able to put on it are the two CD's even though I've added more into my library. I keep getting the error message "Cannot find required disk". Can anyone help me or tell me what I need to do?
Thanks in advance!

Even though you're not getting a -50, I'd check on the following document. (Your message is one of the possible symptoms of the problem outlined in the document.)

HT1369 when syncing ipod, receiving blue screen error WDF_Violation

When syncing ipod, receiving blue screen error WDF_Violation

I am having a similar problem. I have an iPod Classic 80Gb with a brand new computer using iTunes11 on Windows 8.
iTunes sees the iPod on the Sidebar, but when I try to sync or change any settings, roughly half the time it will crash my windows and cite a WDF Violation error. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Regardless, even if it doesn't crash, it won't sync. It gets as far as "Starting Sync" and then it just stops.
I have verified that the iPod still syncs fine on my old xp machine, and I have tried the following, all to no avail.
Enabling Disk use
Converting higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC
Deleting and reinstalling the iPod's drivers through device manger
Running iTunes in XP SP3 compatibility mode
Running iTunes as Administrator
At one point, with disk use enabled and 128 kbps bit rate selected, I managed to get it to prompt me to Erase and Sync. it went on to erase everything on the iPod, but would not load any of my media back up. Subsequent attempts to sync gave the same result.
I had a look at the link above, but it's a brand new computer and I installed and updated everything myself to the latest version, except my Wacom tablet, which was acting funny with the latest driver, but it can't be that because the original driver from the install CD I reverted too has workd fine in conjunction with iTunes and this same iPod for years on my other machine.
I am getting extremly frustrated with this. Someone please help make it better !?!

ITunes displays -48 error message when syncing iPod Nano on Windows XP

My girlfriend's mom's iPod Nano ran out of charge while jogging so she decided to charge it on her daughter's iHome. The next day she went to use her iPod but it was totally empty of all music and files. When she tried to sync it to iTunes, she received an eror message stating, "An unknown error has occurred (-48)" from iTunes and a Windows message stating that some iPod folder/file was corrupted.
If anyone receives such a message, I was able to correct it by:
-Plugging in your iPod to your PC
-Ignore the error messages
-Go to My Computer
-Find your iPod's drive letter (ie. G:)
-Right-click on it and select Properties
-Go to Tools Tab >Error-checking and select Check Now
You should be able to sync your iPod as before. I do not claim to be an expert so be warned that it may not work for you. Good luck!

I found that sometimes after a EAS command (for instance a export data) is finished (correctly finished or not it does not matter in this case) a rudimentary tcp connection from EAS to the essbase server is left open.
You can view this with a generic tcp viewer) on either the eas or the essbase server.
Disconnecting this particular tcp connection "frees" the essbase DB for further actions.
It is not nesecary to close the proces which keeps the connection open. Since this would kills your essbase application running.
This was really a pain in the $% for the last years since before I always had to kill the application process. Perhaps I am creating a case at Oracle to solve the initial cause, but for the moment this helps me a lot. I did not have time to see if the same occurs after maxl processes. But I doubt it happens there. The cause can be in the weblogic timeouts and behaviour at the EAS server.

Error "you cannot copy an enterprise vault shortcut" in outlook 2007 calendar

I am trying to copy a meeting from a calendar in outlook 2007 that my co-worker has shared with me over to my calendar. I used to be able to just drag and drop it on my calendar and it would make a copy. Now every time I try to copy anything I get this
error "you cannot copy an enterprise vault shortcut" you can restore the item and then copy the restored item. Why am I getting this and how can I stop it or even how can I "restore" the item and get around it.

If your organisation uses the Symantec Enterprise Vault product, this seems to be a known issue:

You should have your email administrator check into this with Symantec (it's not a Microsoft product issue)

ATA bus error means that data corruption occurred during transmission over ATA bus (SATA or PATA). This type of errors can be indicated by
ICRC or ABRT error as described in the section called “ATA/ATAPI device error (non-NCQ / non-CHECK CONDITION)”.
Controller-specific error completion with error information indicating transmission error.
On some controllers, command timeout. In this case, there may be a mechanism to determine that the timeout is due to transmission error.
Unknown/random errors, timeouts and all sorts of weirdities.
As described above, transmission errors can cause wide variety of symptoms ranging from device ICRC error to random device lockup, and, for many cases, there is no way to tell if an error condition is due to transmission error or not; therefore, it's necessary to employ some kind of heuristic when dealing with errors and timeouts. For example, encountering repetitive ABRT errors for known supported command is likely to indicate ATA bus error.
Once it's determined that ATA bus errors have possibly occurred, lowering ATA bus transmission speed is one of actions which may alleviate the problem.
I'd also add; make sure you have good backups when ATA errors are frequent
