Error Message: Cannot write to ipod - any ideas why?

just brought a new 30gb ipod. When i try to sync it with itunes it is very slow. When it finally starts to transfer data it stops after about 3 minutes and shows an error message saying: "failed to write to ipod"
Im using a toshiba laptop and thought my usb connections may be usb 1.1 but i checked and they are usb 2.0, so im really not sure what the problem is.
Any ideas???

    - Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Can you send email from that account on another device?
    - You can try deleing the account from the iPod and reentering the settings.

  • When sending email from my Mac, Word documents do not send correctly. The recipient cannot open them. Any idea why???

    I have been dealing with this forever. No matter what format I save a Word document in (.doc .docx or whatever else), the recipient (microsoft user) is still not able to open the file in word. Does anyone have any idea why? It's driving me a little nuts.

    Right, I may have misunderstood what you meant by download to desktop. When I click the attachment, I can either "Open with: Text Edit (drop-down menu)" or Save. But save doesn't save to desktop. I can "Open with: Microsoft Word" fine.
    When I compose an email, I click attach. I select the file that is in a .docx format. It appears to load to the email correctly, and if I click that extension, it opens correctly in Word out of the pre-sent email. After being sent, it appears in god knows what format and wishes to open from TextEdit.
    Was I doing something wrong when you wanted me to download to desktop?

  • Following the recent iTunes upgrade I am getting two error messages (-42404) and (-50).  Any ideas how to rectify?

    Using iTunes for the first time since the upgrade I am plagued with error messages - one telling me that a required component is not installed (-42404) and a second that my iTunes store request cannot be completed (-50).  I've reset my old iPod as the message tells me but am reluctant to do that on my iPhone and risk loosing content.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes but it's made no difference.  Any ideas how to fix please?

    Disable your firewall/security software.

  • Elements 9 Error Message Cannot Up Date Intel Display Driver Why?

    Running Windows 7 64 Bits
    Today I opened Adobe Elements 9 to find another problem out of the blue why things change I haven't a clue! Error message pops up saying the following:
    Update Adode Display Driver detail : Intel (R) HD Graphic 2000-3.00-Build 9.17.10.29.32.
    Also maybe as a result of not having this update the Timeline and the video in the viewing screen will not keep pace. In fact the video viewing window doesn't move at all unless you click on a particular scene now only shows that scene no rolling video. Yesterday it wasn't a problem why it changed I don't know. I was advised by ATR I set my updates to manual so there has not been any updates so nothing should of change right?
    Can you send me the link that updates that particualr driver? I went to my computer manufacture web site and down loaded the latest updates for my system then I restarted my computer still the same Adobe error message same problem. Then I went to Intel website updated the latest driver updates restarted my computer still got the same adobe error message and still have the same viewing screen problem? Help Please? I'm lost and I'm a rookie so speak plan English please no technical terms please? Thank you

    waterworshipper
    Many many apologizes. In the screenshot in post 5 I circled Program Files instead of Program Data although I wrote Program Data in the written instruction elsewhere. Please watch this post for the correction.
    Very sorry. You did great. I messed up.
    Correction
    (Since I cannot get back into Post 5 to edit it, I going through the process of getting Post 5 deleted. What follows here is the replacement.)
    waterworshipper
    You can do it. Let us go step by step
    Start Button
    Click Computer
    Double Click Local Disk C
    You should see a list similar to the following:
    Double click "Program Data" circled above.
    When you do, you will get another list showing some folders etc.  Find the folder named Adobe and click on it.
    (At that point, make sure to scroll all the way to the top area to make sure that you are not missing Adobe.)
    When you do, you will get another line up of folders. Find specifically the folder named Premiere Elements and double click that.
    When you do, you will get another line up of folders. Find specifically the folder named 9.0 and double click that.
    When you do, you should see the following:
    As the screenshot immediately above shows, right click the BadDrivers.txt file and select Delete.
    At that point, you close out of there.
    Reopen Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 and see if the video card error and other problems are gone.
    Please give this another look. If you run into difficulties following my instructions, then please indicate where and I will rewrite them.
    Thanks.
    ATR
    If you have Windows 7 64 bit computer, the location for the BadDrivers.txt file should be in the corrected information just posted.
    Again sorry for the detour.

  • HT3798 my 1 week old new ipod classic doesnt seem to play certain albums/songs that play fine in itunes and fine on my old ipod. any ideas why?

    i have just purchased a new ipod classic about a week ago and it wont play certain songs/albums and stops them halfway through the track. if you fast forward past the spot it plays and it plays perfectly on itunes and on my old i[od. any ideas?? HELP

    Since the iPod is only a week old, I would consider returning it to Apple or wherever you purchased it from and showing them what is happening.  If they decide that the unit is faulty, they'll swap it out for you at no cost.
