IPod gets read/write error halfway through transfering songs

Ok, I posted the other day about a read write error on my iPod. I got it replaced. New one didn't work on my home computer but I did get it up and running on my laptop at work. When I got home I plugged the iPod into my home computer. Everthing was fine (I have it on manually update). When I tried to put music files on my iPod (drag and drop) I did one and it worked fine. Then I highlighted a group and dragged it over. They were transfering. Then halfway through I got the read write error.
Can anyone explain why this would happen? Why did it work for a little bit and then refuse to keep transfering songs? Do I have to do them one at a time when I manually update? I basically had to restore the iPod when I got to work this morning. Things are fine now. It would be a pain (but still bearable) if I can't use my iPod at home.

Can anyone explain why this would happen? Why did it work for a little bit and then refuse to keep transfering songs?
The problem could be one of mnay mentioned in the link below. A complete Reformat of the IPOD using Windows would be a great start and then "restore" the IPODs software. The drive on the IPOD seems to get corrupted at some point and this is the best way I have found to get rid of the problem.

  • Ipod stopping halfway through a song and restarting

    my 1st gen. ipod stops halfway through a song and restarts. but it doesn't do this with all songs, just some. i updated the songs from my ipod onto it again, then manually ejected it, but nothing is working..
    HELP!!

    Try reseting it by holding both Menu and Center buttons down untill the Apple Logo pops up(you my have to do this a couple times for it to work). Or you can restore its factory settings and put the songs back on the iPod. But if that doesen't work try calling this number Apple Disability Solutions (800) 767-2775 and see if you can get yourself further help.

  • Entourage read/write error

    Help,
    Entourage will not startup I get a read/write error - when I try to rebuild the database both standard and advanced it gives me this error. I located my mail identities and its empty. How can I correct this problem?
    What is causing this?
    Thanks

    I just posted this response to another user's query regarding an essentially identical problem:
    This is a relatively frequent, recurring and ongoing problem for Entourage users. My advice is generally to migrate away from the application at your first opportunity, as it is prone to such data corruption issues. If that is not practical, you'll need to become an Entourage maintenance expert to reduce the likelihood of future problems, and you will need to back up regularly.
    You'll find this site a great place to start when trying to deal with these issues:
    http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq_topic/database.html
    Link segments four and five on this page may be particularly helpful, but you should read the entire document before attempting to recover or reconstruct your Entourage database.

  • My Ipod Nano keeps turning itself off halfway through a song, anyone know why this happens?

    I have had my Nano since November and have downloaded cds and music of downloads.  When I play the ipod halfway through a song the ipod turns itself off. Do you think this is a fault with the Ipod or am I doing something wrong when downloading the music?

    Hey jokoboco,
    At this point get your ipod service with apple. Have your Serial number ready. Sounds like your iPod has a hardware issue, a kind of defect. Use any of these options:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do
    or

    or

    From your statements above, it sounds like you never tried to burn a CD for at least the first year that you owned the laptop, as it had a one year warranty on it. While you might have used it frequently to install software,  play DVDs, Blu-Ray disks, etc, that's unclear from your statements. Nonetheless, it might just be dirty-dusty. So, before deleting-uninstalling any software, and given they're cheap, try a CD-DVD Cleaner Disk first and see if that resolves your problems.
    Let us know what happens. Good luck.

  • I am getting read WSDL errors for WSDLS and Exception building schema in the assign activity schema

    Hi All,
    1 st error: Even though I had added the URLs related to Webservice WSDLs that composite and BPEL have to load,I am getting 'read WSDL' errors when I open the composite.Sometimes it is loading properly and sometimes it is not loading properly.I restarted the system and I had aslo put webbrowser and proxy unchecked still I am facing that issue
    2 nd error: As I any schema node in assign activity I am getting 'Exception building schema' errors.
    What I feel I had set some memory settings so that wsdls and schemas will load properly.
    Please do the needful to resolve these issues as I have to work on some production issues urgently.

    Maybe you can use the MDS to decouple your development environment with your runtime environment.
    Put you're WSDLs/XSDs in a local MDS that you then sync with your runtime environment.
    Instead of referencing to the life WSDL you reference to a oramds:// url.

  • Get Read/Write permissions of application

    Hi,
    I am developing one application by using FileConnection API. My requirement is,
    Whenever user launch the application, Application will get the properties of user read data/user write data permission. if they set the permission like "Always Ask" then application will close otherwise application will launch.
    For this, how can i get read/write permissions of application?. Please help in this query.
    Thanks & Regards
    Siva

    Hi ,
    As the FileConnection API is restricted and need permission.
    You have to set the FileConnection permission into the JAD file. Depends upon the mobile it might be possible that you have to signed the MIDlet.

  • How do I read/write many matrices through TCP server?

    I'm trying to modify the simple data client and the simple data server program in example in LabVIEW6i. How do I send a 2 dimension nummeric matrix? and also how do I send many numeric matrices at a time?

    The problem here is that at the receiving end, one cannot know how many
    bytes to read before unflattenning into the datatype.
    A method that works for *any* datatype (and any data transfer mechanism):
    Flatten the data to string.
    Flatten again the string to string; this adds a string lenght (U32) header
    to the string.
    Send the string.
    When receiving data, first read 4 bytes and convert to U32.
    Read this number of bytes.
    Typecast the string to the expected datatype.

  • Music starts halfway through a song

    Have you tried updating it and doing a restore with the latest iPod updater (2006-03-23)? You can go here and install the latest updater on your PC and then hook the iPod up and run the updater http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
    Doing a restore will wipe everything off the iPod, but once connected to iTUnes, it will load everything back up. More on restoring can be found here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983

  • How can I burn cds if I keep getting Medium Write Error?

    I have tried burning several CDs, mostly Memorex and Sony. I've never really had problems before but now I do. I tried at first with maximum speed and it just tried to burn and then ejected it saying "Medium Write Error". Next I tried SEVERAL different burning speeds. Sometimes I would get the same error message, and other times it would act like it burned it but when I tried to play the songs on the CD it just skipped through all of them as if they didn't burn.

    Hey guys, having the same problem since the update..... QUITE! frustrating after a update, I have to admit.
    Anyway so no burn button in Itunes but the option is there to "burn playlist" in file tab. Once I have started the burn at maximum speed 24x on Itunes around three times, Burn app and Toast after about a minute error would pop up saying problem *medium write error* then finished on all three apps. I tried around 3 cds on each app.
    I opened my *system profiler* then *disk burning*it asked me to insert a blank disk and click refresh which is located in view tab. Once complete it showed my write speeds 10x, 16x, 24x. Now open BURN app then select which songs or files etc you would like to burn, drag them across. Click burn select burn speed ONLY SELECT 16x or 8x if 16x is not a option.
    _*BURN APP*_ at slower writing speeds seems stable. After a little investigation through out my logs it looks as if certain permissions conflict from old version to new.
    I hope this works for everyone!

  • Ipod mini "Disk Write Error"

    I recently tried to restore my iPod mini (for the umpteenth time) after having numerous problems with songs not playing. I connected it to the computer fine, brought up the updater and when I tried to restore it came up "Unable to update firmware. Disk Write Error."
