  • Error: attempting to copy to disk failed

    This is my first experience with iPod and I read the directions. I imported songs to the computer OK. The iPod came and it connected to the computer fine. The system was loading songs on the iPod just fine. After song 68 I get this error messge: "attempting to copy to the disk "name" failed. The disk couild not be read from or written to." This sounds bad. I tried the 4 step reset. I have itunes v8 on the windows XP Pro machine. And, the Nano plays the 68 songs just fine. Every time I try to synch more songs (and I even tried manual) I get the error and everything comes to a hault. Suggestions, please. Thanks.

  • When synching my IPhone 3Gs I now get a sign "Attempting to copy to Disk failed. The required disk cannot be found." This is after synching a new Iphone 4s.. Help!!

    When attempting to synch my IPhone 3Gs I now get a sign "Attempting to copy to Disk failed. The required disk cannot be found."
    This is after synching a new Iphone 4s and having received some help from Apple Support who assisted with some setting
    changes. Unfortunately this was over a protracted period of time and I cannot recall what was changed. Apparently my 3Gs is out of
    its warranty and so they cannot help me unless I pay £25....
    Can anyone help??

    Well, attempted again today and now my iTunes locks up whenever I select a song! Also, my Volume Mixer on my Windows 7 will not open. Just terrific. Where's my MacBook???????????????

  • Attempting to copy to disk failed.

    I was using my iPod in cold weather the other night. The battery died and when it warmed back up the screen was in grayscale and it was in "disk mode". I have since restored it several times and am trying to sync it with iTunes. I keep getting an error message "Attempting to copy to disk failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation". The iPod was syncing just fine prior to the cold crash. I tried changing the permissions in my iTunes music library and xml file. Help?

    First, reset the iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    and restart the Mac with the iPod connected; then try it again.
    If that does not help, connect the iPod to the Mac. With iTunes not running, run Disk Utility. Does the iPod's hard drive appear in the Disk Utility sidebar? If so, select the iPod's DRIVE, not the volume indented under the drive, in the sidebar and go to the Erase tab. Set the format type to +Mac OS Extended (Journaled)+ and erase the iPod's drive.
    If the erase completes successfully, quit Disk Utility and run iTunes. Immediately use the Restore button to install and initialize the iPod's software. You can then set it up and sync it as desired.

  • "Attempt to copy to disk failed"

    I just got a 5G 30GB Photo to replace my 4G (battery fried). When I try to sync it get so far and hangs up. I then get an error in iTunes: "Attempt to copy to disk "name of iPod" failed. The disk could not be written to or read from." Is my iPod's hard drive already fried?
    HP Pavilion   Windows XP   Using USB 2.0 to sync

    I've got he exact same problem. I too, was just removing the offending song, but since the "failed to copy" started, I'm starting to get other errors as well. It now takes iTunes no less than 10 minutes just to recognize a CD and I've seen the same "failed to copy message" regarding my hard disk. I've followed the 5 R's and the ONLY result is that iTunes dumped all 20GB of my music.
    Any help that doen't require reformatting my computer or dumping data is appeciated. I'd also rather not spend another $50 on a dock. I have repaired my priviledges. I am using USB 2.0. I have already tested (and exchanged) the iPod, I have updated my OS, iTunes, and now am debating on how much more I want to put up with this.

  • Attempting To Copy To Disk Failed.  Not Enough Memory.

    I am syncing my iPhone 8GB 3G with latest software to my iTunes. I keep getting the message, 'Attempting To Copy To Disk "Mackenzie's iPhone" Failed. There Is Not Enough Memory Available.' There is clearly enough room for all these song's. All help would be appreciated.
    Thank's in advance,
    Mackenzie.

    i had a similar problem when my syn wasnt done properly before,
    there isnt any real way to fix this apart from doing a restore through itunes,
    once you done the restore you should be fine...

  • HELP! Attempt to copy to disk failed.

    I have tried the 5 R's, but I still can not transfer music into my iPod. I have done all the updates, resets, etc, and nothing seems to work.
    iTunes recognizes my iPod and will automatically start to transfer, but will give me the "Attemt to copy disk" message. I will also, at times, receive a Device Timeout message which says "Specified I/O oerartion on Device\Harddisk2\DR4 was not completed before the timeout period expired"
    No music ends up being transferred, basically, I have nothing on my iPod because of this.
    Anybody have any suggestions or able to provide assistance will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    I have tried to update my Ipod numerous times and it keeps coming up with
    "Attempting to copy to the disk <iPod name> failed. The disk could not be read
    from or written to."
    I have wiped my ipod back to factory settings. If I try to re- download itunes,
    will i loose all the music I have on it including my purchased music? If so is
    there any other way I could update my Ipod with all the music I have on Itunes? If there is any other way that I can update my Ipod, I would like to Know!!
    Thank you

  • Help with the error message that ADE is not allowed to copy a book onto my Nook. I have tried authorizing and unauthorizing many times--at wits end with this issue.

    Help with the error message that ADE is not allowed to copy a book onto my Nook. I have tried authorizing and unauthorizing many times--at wits end with this issue.

    I too am having the same problem. I have a new hard drive that was imaged from the old one and I'm trying to side load a book to my Nook Simple Touch.. I first installed ADE 4 then borrowed and downloaded a book from Overdrive. I tried a few times to delete and reauthorize both the computer and the Nook and each time I get an authorization error when I try to side load the book. I then found on the Nook forum that the Simple Touch and ADE 4 don't get along. So I uninstalled ADE 4 and installed ADE 3.
    I then followed this recommended procedure found on the forum: I deleted the Digital Editions folder from my Nook, launched ADE 3 and authorized the computer, then connected the Nook. For a few seconds, hovering the mouse over the setting icon for the Nook displayed everything on the context menu grayed out. But then it showed the context menu and I was able to display the Nook's authorization, which was the same as the computer's. Still get the same error side loading the book. Deleting and reauthorizing doesn't help.  And the Digital Editions folder is still missing from the Nook.

  • "Attempting to copy to disk" error when syncing

    I am having an issue with syncing my iPhone today. For some reason when I am syncing, when it gets to the point of the check "Finding Purchased Items", I get an error message stating "Attempting to copy to disk LAPTOP HARD DRIVE failed. You do not have enough access priviledges for this operation".
    I checked the .xml files in iTunes and I do have all priviledges across the board, yet it is still coming up with the message.
    It seems though that the sync is completing despite the error, it's just a bloody annoyance.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Never mind, problem solved... right click on iTunes, click run as admin. Problem solved!
