Error message withg sync, tried everything, nothing helped. Please help me.

Gets error message "Attempting to copy to the disk "Ipod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to". It will put on about 15-30 songs before displaying this message, and can fully sync but it takes forever because i have to press "ok" than "sync" every 15-30 songs. already tried to send it back for a warranty replacement but they said there is nothing wrong. i tried everything, restored, zeroed out ipod disk, reloaded itunes, and all over again about 10 times

Ran into the same error message while attempting to synch an iTunes purchased movie to my son's 5th Gen Video iPod from my G5 Tower (OSX 10.4.11). Here's what worked:
Restored his iPod to factory settings. Noticed that this included having the iPod enabled for disk use (this box was not checked previously -- when we were getting the error message). Reselected which playlists and videos to synch, applied the synch settings, then waited (with crossed fingers and a few prayers to boot!). It worked. No error messages.
Note: the iPod synch cable is plugged directly into one of the USB2 ports on the back of the G5 tower -- not into one on the 3rd party PCI expansion cards I installed to add more USB2 & Firewire ports (not sure if this is relevant, but it seems so based on your discussion thread here). Hope this helps.

  • TS1398 my iphone will not connect to my network...even though it was automatically connected for a long time.  now nothing.  I've tried everything...please help.

    I am having trouble getting my iphone hooked onto my wifi.  It has always been hooked up to my wifi, but since yesterday it has been doing this. Yesterday i turned my phone off and on and that seems to work...but today, nothing works.  I've reset my network and everything...Please help me.

    Tozo, it sounds like your setup may be missing DNS server numbers. Try the following:
    *Reset/Change DNS Settings*
    Launch Airport Utility.
    Select Airport device on left.
    Click "Manual Setup".
    Select "Internet" from the toolbar above.
    What's listed for "DNS Server(s):"? Try putting in these servers from OpenDNS
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Click "Update".
    Next, on all Macs affected, launch System Prefs --> Network Prefs.
    Select the service you usually connect with on the left (Airport or Ethernet).
    Then click, "Advanced...".
    Click the "DNS" tab.
    What's listed for "DNS Server(s):"? Usually "10.0.1.1" will be listed first in gray. This refers back to the settings in the Airport Utility.
    Nevertheless, it doesn't hurt to add the DNS servers noted above here as well.
    Click "OK" then click "Apply".
    Finally, reboot your Mac.
    Now see if you have internet access all around.
    Let us know if this was helpful. Cheers!

    You may want to make sure you're installing the right version of itunes.  If you have a 64bit system, you will need to make sure to download and install the 64bit version of iTunes.

  • Getting error message 14 when restoring Iphone 3gs,ran diagnostic and can't find iphone.Tried everything...please help!e

    I tried to update Iphone 3gs to ios 5 with Itunes. first try,It did sync,posted my name under devices(iphone). Tried to restore,keep recieving error message 14. I ran the diagnostic and it kept saying under Port, it does'nt not find Iphone. Tried EVERYTHING! From uninstalling, youtube, google, DFU and downloading some of the so called help links and files. It also keep saying my phone is in restored mode and on the phone it shows a usb plug pointing to itunes and a cd. Trying to fix problem from home and not be charge a fee just to talk to Apple representative. Please help !!!

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error3194
    Apple does not support downgrading, so that is probably why you are getting error 3194. As you have to hack the phone to downgrade all bets are off now. As some of the help links and files direct you to jailbreak your phone if you followed any of those you now have bigger problems.

  • Error 21, I have tried everything, nothing seems to work

    Today I tried to upgrade my iPhone's firmware to 5.0.1 but ERROR 21 came up so I tried everything to fix it but nothing seems to work at all. Plus my iPhone is on DFU mode so I can not use it either.
    Please help me.

    What security software is running on your computer? Try to change the sercurity software settings or remove it.
    Take a look at this Apple article -> iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    Error 20, 21, 34, 37: These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process.  If you are using a PC, follow this article to resolve this issue.

  • New Iphone just WON'T sync - I've tried everything!! Please help

    I bought a new Iphone yesterday and for some reason the lady synced it at the store (I had no idea what she was doing at that point - she told me she was 'unbricking it'). Anyway when I came home my own itunes wasn't recognising the Iphone (despite repeated attempts). So after reading up on the iphone a little bit i resetted it by deleting all data and settings. After this, every time i try to turn on my Iphone it just displays the usb and apple symbol icons, and everytime I connect it, itunes won't recognise it. Even though vista makes the "connection" sound the Iphone just isn't recognised. PLEASE HELP!! I have tried everything! Restarting comp + iphone, reinstalling itunes, downloading itunes 9, reinstalling the usb port, borrowing my brother's connection cable to make sure mine wasnt faulty. Device manager just won't recognise the iphone.
    Please help!! I bought it from a store far away so the chances of visiting it again soon are fairly slim.

  • Had to uninstall Firefox, now I can't reinstall. Get error message "Can not find archive file." Please help!

    I believe I had some kind of virus attack. I got everything cleaned up. (I HOPE) In the process of cleaning the virus, I unintalled Firefox because it wouldn't open. Kept getting the error message that Firefox was already open and I had to close out of the sessions or restart the computer. After restarting the computer several times and not being able to find any open sessions in task manager, I uninstalled. When trying to reinstall, I get the error message "can not find archive file." I've tried downloading Firefox from cnet as well as the Mozilla site to no avail. Please help. I'm getting tired of using Chrome already!

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • ANNOYING ERROR MESSAGE IN SYSTEM PREFERENCES!!! PLEASE HELP...

    When I open System Preferences and click on the Network Settings icon, I get an error message that says "Your network settings have been changed by another application." It just gives the option to click "OK," but after I click "OK" it just keeps popping up. I end up having to Force Quit System Preferences. I've tried looking for the application that changed the settings, but I can't seem to figure out which one. I haven't installed any new programs in forever. This thing just seemed to pop up out of nowhere.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as this is annoying as ****...

    Yes, it'd be the latest Security update and your use of a PPP setup I think...
    Cure for Security update...

    PS. I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...

    That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

  • Error message when adding video to premiere pro, please help!

    Hi there,
    Every time I try and add a video to premiere pro I get an error message "There was an error decompressing audio or video." I made the video in After effects and it plays just fine but I wanted to add sound to it in premiere pro. The file is mpeg movie, I can get more info if needed, just let me know. I am not very experienced at all in adobe but i'm learning so if someone could please help, that'd be awesome? P.S i'm using a MAC

    You're welcome.
    I've never visited Paris but it is on my list.
    I don't believe the 10.4.4 Update had anything to do with this. I also have a .Mac account and I didn't experience any problems sending with any of my accounts and different SMTP servers after installing the Update.
    Something to try.
    Go to the SMTP server settings for the .Mac SMTP server and in the Server Port field, enter 587 in place of 25 and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
    Test if this resolves the problem.
    Having the SSL warning message is odd if Use SSL is not selected for the SMTP server and if using 587 as the server port doesn't resolve the problem, this may be a Mail.app preference file problem which is the file that stores all account settings.

  • Procedure entry point AVCFPlayerAppliesMediaSelectionCritariaAutomaticallyKey could not be located in the dynamic link library. I've tried everything can someone please help!?

    I've installed/uninstalled itunes many times I have the apple application support installed after that I got this-->  "The procedure entry point AVCFPlayerAppliesMediaSelectionCritariaAutomaticallyKey could not be located in the dynamic link library AVFoundationCF.dll." What do I need to do to get this fixed? I would be much appreciated if someone could walk me through this. I'm not that very technical and I'm seeking help from anyone. I just want to be able to start listening to my music again.

    That one can be produced if you have an older version of Apple Application Support on the PC than is required by iTunes version 11.1.4.62. (The required version of Apple Application Support is included in the standard iTunes installers, but for some reason it hasn't been updating properly for some folks.)
    Let's try updating your Apple Application Support to version 3.0 by doing a standalone Apple Application Support install.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, can you launch iTunes without the error now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
