HELP "Attempting to copy to the disk JODI'S IPOD failed. The disk could..."

I am receiving this message when attempting to synch. "Attempting to copy to the disk JODI'S IPOD failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." It appears that it synchs some of the songs but hangs up on certain songs. Once I determine the "corrupt" song, I deselect it in Itunes and try synching again. It will synch some more until it comes across another song it doesn't care for. I found 4 songs out of 130 that were problematic. This makes for a very painstaking process. Any help would be appreciated.

You're not the only one. I use a Mac, and I have come across this same problem. I wonder how it determines which ones it wants to sync and which ones it doesn't.

Help - Attempting to copy to the disk "J" failed. An unknown error occured

pls help I get the above error Attempting to copy to the disk "J" failed. An unknown error occured (-69) when I connect my ipod nano 8GB Gen 3 and try to synch. Ive got the latest Itunes software, Ive done the 5 r's, Ive tried a different USB cable. I can't think of anything else left to try, when I d/c on my computer it doesn't bring up my ipod but under device manager its there, says its working properly

This is the same thing that just happened to me. My error message reads as follows: "Attempting to copy to the disk "C's IP" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to". I've reset and restored. It still will not add the last 3 songs that I have purchased from Itunes. I have completely read the manual and can't find anything that deals with this problem. I have only had my ipod for 10 months. I hope someone can help with this.

Help! Error:Attempting to copy to the disk iPod name failed.

Error message: Attempting to copy to the disk <iPod name> failed. The disk could not be read from or written to
I get the error above when I am trying to transfer videos to my ipod that I have purchased from the Itunes music store. 4 of the videos I purchased worked and the other 4 would not transfer. I am not sure how to fix it. I have already restored my ipod once and that did not correct the problem.
Any suggestions on what I should do next?

"attempting to copy to the disk failed " HELP

I am syncing my iPad to my MacBook Pro (Running 10.6.4 and iTunes 9.2). I get an error message stating "attempting to copy to the disk failed ", Then it says that it is an Evernote File that is causing the issue. I have removed the file and the Evernote App. Still wont sync music, movies, etc.
I have tried using DiskAid and it synced properly one time then it came right back to the same old issues. This is very frustrating. Any solutions out there?

Try:
1. Using a different USB port on the MBP
2. Restoring the iPad
One or both should work (don't you just love the word 'should'?)

"attempting to copy to the disk C:\ failed. the file name was invalid or...

"attempting to copy to the disk C:\ failed. the file name was invalid or too long." This was the message that I keep getting after trying to "add folder to library" of multiple tracks from an external hard drive. it only happens after a certain period of time.. i get about half of my tracks added before this message pops up. when i first got my i pod it worked fine. but after i hooked up my i pod several times without having that external drive on... the i pod took over that drive letter that my external drive used to use. so.. when i turned on my external drive, it was given a new letter.. then i tunes would not recognize those 1500 tracks that came from my external drive (explanation points listed next to tracks). so.. I deleted all of those files manually, then tried to add folder to library again from the new letter coordinating to my external hd. I kept getting that message above. after that i deleted all files associated with i tunes.. and uninstalled i tunes.. then did a reinstall.. did i tunes update from site... and tried to just add the set of tracks from that external hd... still same **** error. only now.. after i say ok to error... i tunes continues for like 2 seconds.. then has to shut down... ****!!! can anyone help me with this... anyone?

just to update my problem... I finally figured out that i had to disable the "copy to my itunes folder from my library option. just so you know. apparently i tunes cant handle the large transfer to itunes and also at the same time copy it to your itunes folder... APPLE fix this!!!!!! this suxxxxx....

Eh, there could be an issue with one of the audio files it is trying to sync over. Best bet is to do a fresh restore on the iPod and then follow the steps in the following article to see if it addresses your issue. (and yes, I know it's not the exact error you're receiving, but try it)

help?

The quickest way to correct this error USUALLY is to restore your iPod. Make sure you have all your Music and stuff on your PC for a restore will wipe clean your iPod and then use iTunes to transfer everything back to the iPod off your PC. follow the link below on ways to correct this and links to info about "Restoring" your iPod

Post back and tell us if this fixes your iPod or if you have other questions, I or someone else will be more than glad to try and help you

Attempting to copy to the disk failed. An unknown error occurrred (-51).

I apologize if this issue has been addressed before, but I’m pretty well at the end of my rope here. As mentioned in the title, the message is:
“Attempting to copy to the disk failed. An unknown error occurred (-51)”
I have tried resetting my 20G iPod, as well as re-downloading and running the iTunes and iPod installer. If I delete something off of my iPod, unplug it, and then plug it back in again, the song name is there again, but this time it has an exclamation point next to it and it won’t play the song. It plays the rest of the music fine through the computer and through my stereo (I was having some problems with it skipping to the next song in the middle of a song, but I reset it and haven’t had the problem since). I don’t want to have to restore the iPod for the simple fact that I didn’t take the time to backup all my music. That would be a pain. Also, something else I’ve noticed is that I can actually hear its hard drive now kicking in and out when it’s really quiet and plugged into the computer. I hope that I just never noticed that before.
Without having to restore, is there anything else that I haven’t tried? HELP!!

Attempting to copy to the disk 'IPOD NAME' failed. An unknown error occurre

Hi I keep getting an error when I sync my Ipod.
"Attempting to copy to the disk 'IPOD NAME' failed. An unknown error occurred (-69)."
I have a 20 GB click wheel Ipod. And nothing is working to fix it. Restoring, etc.

I don't know if you've found a fix for your problem or what exactly could be causing it, but I'm wrestling with the same issue myself.
Some say it's happens when your files are corrupted.
If you read this post -- http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=887569 -- and the subsequent replies there is a work-around to this using MusicMatch and other suggestions that may help.

Attempting to copy to the disk "Anthony's I" failed. An unknown error (-69)

Attempting to copy to the disk "Anthony's I" failed. An unknown error occured (-69) keeps popping up in an error box every time I try sync music to my 3rd gen shuffle. The amount of music and everything seems fine. Can anybody please help me with this as me and my son now have two shuffles that won't sync.

Suggests a possible problem with the source files on your computer. Check the source disk for errors and backup if you don't already do so. See HT1210: iTunes displays a -69 error when syncing iPod for more details.
The SyncToy backup program is also a good way to identify exactly which files cannot be read. Repeated runs may succed in copying files which won't copy over on the first attempt.

"Attempting to copy to the disk failed"

When i connect my ipod to the computer it successfully loads around 40 songs (of my 300 song library), but then stops, and itunes comes up with a message which says "Attempting to copy to the disk "(my name)ipod" failed. This disk could not be read from or written to." I have no idea how to fix this. Please help me, ive had endless problems with this and just want to get it working for once. Thankyou.

If its not stopping on one exact named song like tina turner - simply the best and stops on any random song at number 40, this most likly is a "Glitch" area on the harddrive inside the iPod.
to correct it you will restore the ipod with the latest iPod updater (Latest one is 2006-03-23). A restore will wipe the iPOd clean of everything and you can use the updater to update the ipods software with the latest bug fixes and features. http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
