Are you transferring pics from a folder or through a program?

  • IPOD cannot be update - 40 GB Click Wheel

    Upgraded Itunes & Ipod to latest software versions and can't synch up ipod with Itunes. Have followed ALL steps to recify...uninstall, empty temp directory,standalone Quicktime,reinstall latest. Install goes fine but when I connect Ipod it begins to update from itunes but after about 9G or 2500 songs it says complete (I have over 7500 songs). When I go to update again I get the error message "The iPOD cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to." Please help!

    Well it was worth a try...after restoring iPOD, set it up and started auto download from iTunes...once again, everything seemed to be going fine...got up to 2615 songs and it started slowing down while updating ipod and ipod statred making little noises..at 2636 songs it said ipod update complete..my ipod still said do not disconnect so I ejected and still said same thing..no songs updated although it said they had.....reconnected and only 5 songs shoed...clicked on update again and got the message "windows delayed write failed..windows was unable to save all the data for the file G: the data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. please try to save the file elsewhere....the other message that i have been getting is "This ipod Neil's Ipod cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to"

  • ERROR MESSAGE: The IPOD cannot be updated.

    Please help!! Have tried everything can think of including, resetting, retrying, restarting, reinstalling and restoring. ITunes automatically starts downloading when you connect but then only transfers the first 50 or so songs in the library, and then says update complete. When you ask it to then update the IPOD through file menu an error message comes up saying 'The IPOD cannot be updated, the disk could not be read from or written to.' There is no problem with the IPOD, because I have been able to update it via another PC, it just won't update via the laptop even though the ITunes has been set up on the laptop as the ITunes I want to use.

    Hello there dilip77707,
    It sounds like you are getting this error message that your iPod cannot be read from or written to when you are trying to update your iPod Nano. I recommend the troubleshooting from the following article to help you get that resolved. Its pretty straight forward, just start at the top and work your way down as needed:
     'Disk cannot be read from or written to' when syncing iPod or 'Firmware update failure' error when updating or restoring iPod
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • Songs on the iPods "administrators iPod" cannot be updated because all of t

    When I try to update my mini iPod I get the following message. Songs on the iPod "administrator's iPod" cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exists.
    Any thoughts on where they have gone? what should I do?

    Have a look at this post by forum member Hudgie it may help explain things: Hudgie - iPod cannot sync because one or more playlists are missing

  • Songs on Owner's ipod cannot be updated because playlists no longer exist

    I recently uploaded new CDs into my itunes library. When I tried to sync it said that it could only sync an owner's selection. I agreed because I was in a hurry. Later I came back to delete some of the songs that I do not use and I get the message "Songs on Owner's ipod cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist." I tried to delete some of the unused playlists and now my ipod is blank with not a single song on it. I want to get my playlists back and my music back.

    You will have to create a couple of new playlists to use to sync your iPod, then your iPod preferences will need to be change to sync on those specific playlists.

  • Error:the ipod cannot be updated. the disc could not be read from or writte

    May sound silly I am sorry, new to this. Just got an ipod shuffle and have gone through all troubleshooting suggestions ie: restore ipod, reinstall software etc. Am getting an error: "The ipod "administrator's ipod" cannot be updated. The disc could not be read from or written to". This occurs when I click and drag a playlist from the source section to my ipod in the source section. Getting a wee bit discouraged by reading all the problems associated with this ipod and am hoping for an easy fix to slide past further frustration. Please help. Thank you muchly.

    Go to the iPod Shuffle Support Page, look around in there, and follow the troubleshooting steps in the article entitled "Can't be written to" or words to that effect.

    The ipod cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to.
    This message appears every time I try and update my ipod or put photos on. I also get this message:
    An error occured while updating the default player for audio file types. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.
    WHAT DO I DO???????

    Perhaps check for corrupted files--I had this issue with a messed up track/ file, and that kept killing the sync. More here:

    As for the access privileges part, well, sorry, I have absolutely no idea what that means.
    Good luck!

  • The ipod "IPOD" cannot be updated. The disk could not be read or written to

    "The iPod "IPOD" cannot be updated. The disk could not be read or written to"
    "The iPod "IPOD" cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred. (-50)"
    I have been dealing with this ever since I installed iTunes 7. I had been getting this message with my previous version, but at least the files would load onto the iPod once I deleted the files in the library and reloaded them. Now, nothing works.
    I attempted to restore the iPod, but guess what? I got this message every time:
    "The iPod "IPOD" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1418)"
    When I checked drive E on the Device Manager on My Computer, it said the device was working fine.
    Desperate to fix the problem, I began searching online for other solutions when I stumbled upon someone mentioning the option to format the iPod with fat32, suggesting that as a way to solve the problem, so I did so. After that, nothing has worked. The device manager now says that there are no drivers for drive E and iTunes won't let me restore the iPod.
    I'm plumb out of ideas. What's left to do? I'm not rich enough to just say, "Oh well! La dee da! Let me go buy another iPod shuffle." Is there any way to fix this?

    I finally reinstalled iTunes and my 2G Shuffle on my another station (PC portable + Windows XP) and that functions without trouble.
    As I followed exactly the same procedure of installation, it's difficult to me to explain differences.
    For each pc :
    - No iPod or iTunes previously installed before this one
    - All the rights (administrator)
    Differences :
    - The OS (Windows XP and Windows XP Pro)
    - A lot of USB peripherics declared on my first PC.
    I tend to think that the problem comes from the detection or the declaration of the port usb, but I'm not at all an expert.
    So my trouble is solved, but not with a satisfactory solution.

  • The ipod "IPOD" cannot be updated.  The disk could not be read from or.....

    The ipod "IPOD" cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to. First, what disk is this talking about. Also, when i "update" my ipod none of my videos get transfered to the ipod any more. Couple weeks ago the series "Monk" was always transferred from itunes to the ipod, but now, it doesnt show up on my ipod. When i go to the ipod options and select the videos tab, it doesnt let me choose to manually update the videos or automatically do it.

    It's referring to the iPod's hard drive, see if any of the troubleshooting steps in this article help: "-36 or "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod

  • IPod "cannot be updated.  The current file is in use."....how to fix?!

    I have a MacBook and the iPod Nano that came with it. I also have a 4G(I think) 20GB iPod. I have both configured to my Macbook, using only certain playlists to be updated on each iPod.
    I don't get any problems when I connect the 20GB iPod(w/ the Firewire), but whenever I connect my Nano(w/ the USB, I have to, it doesn't support Firewire), I get a message saying the iPod"cannot be updated. The current file is in use."
    How do I fix this problem? I have my iPod to "Enable disk use", but everything else is OK, and I have separate playlists and designate each iPod to Sync Selected Playlists Only, and have different playlists selected.
    How do I fix this and/or why is this problem happening?
    (and I'm still going to ask any kind souls to check my previous posts and answer my Playlist Question thread, as that is a nagging problem as well)

    I fiddeled around and I am still having this problem. Can someone help me.

  • IPod cannot be updated. Unknown error (-208)

    I have all latest updates installed on both Mac and iPod.
    Keep getting error message that says "iPod cannot be updated. Unknown error occurred (-208).
    But, after I dismiss this dialogue box, the iPod updates with no problems.
    How do I get rid of this? Is there a problem?

    Hi there guys,
    I had the same problem and have just fixed it for me. I used the process of elimination. If you go to your ipod summary and make slight changes to what you want to sync with your ipod and keep applying the changes until you get no error message. This will tell you where the error is. For me, when I chose not to sync photos with the ipod, I no longer got the error message.
    I had a feeling from looking at other peoples problems that it may be to do with the files being corrupt or just slightly wrong(it's only a minor glitch) that you're wanting to sync. When I went to my folder I realised I had two versions of my 'Ipod Photo Cache' (not sure what the Windows equivalant is, i think it's basically where it stores the ipod versions of your photos on your hard drive) and the new version was in the wrong place. I then replaced the old with the new and voila. No more errors. (I now just have error -48 to contend with)
    Hope that helps, God bless

  • IPod cannot be updated Unknown error-48

    Help - have installed iTunes 7.0.1 and am trying to keep ALL the music on my iPod so have tried to set the options to manual update. But although the computer senses the iPod is connected, when I try and drag new files to my iPod, I get the message "iPod cannot be updated Unknown error-48" Any advice gratefully received

    Hey!
    Just an update since last week.
    Still comes up with the "Unknown Error_48" when coupled to the Mac.Doesn't sync to iTunes and says it's upto date in the summary.Never had any issues like this (until iTunes 7 and 1.2).Kinda renders the whole iPod thing a bit useless.
    Being able to update the library on your Pod is essential.Otherwise what's the point?My Pod still 'works'but not quite the way Apple intended I think.
    SORT IT OUT APPLE!!
