D-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW, +R DL

Passport cant read and write on two Macs

Hi guys
I have 2 Mac computers. One is a Mac pro With Mavricks operating sistem and the other is an old G5.
When I try to copy file to a Passport hard drive (that Im using on my Mac Pro) from the G5 it says it can READ ONLY.
Why cant it read and write?
Please help me with this .. Im going NUTs here.
Thanks

Mac OS X version 10.4.4 transitioned for the older Apple Partition Map to the newer GUID partition table -- to support drives larger than 2.2TB and support a new Apple booting scheme for Intel Macs. The older Mac cannot read the newer Mac's partition map.
Save the stuff from the drive to another location, and re-Initialize on the older Mac (all files will be deleted when you do this), and the newer Mac will read it just fine (but will not be able to boot from it, which is no surprise).

I tunes says cant read or write to disk when tryiing to sync to down load podcasts

I cant Download podcasts. It syncs and only downloads a small part then stops. Then gives me a message can no read or wwrite to disk.

Only with podcasts? Does it sync completely when syncing songs?
Do you use automatic syncing to load content, or do you use the manual method (drag items to iPod in iTunes)?
It seems like the iPod's disk does not stay mounted during the sync process. As a test, try shutting down (powering off) the computer and disconnecting all USB devices, including hub (except for standard keyboard and mouse if normally used). If your computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power). Do this to Reset (restart) the iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320
Start up computer, run iTunes, and connect the iPod. Try syncing podcasts as before, and note if there is any difference regarding this problem.

IPod Shuffle=Can't read or write to-Can't Sync-Can't Update-or Restore-Can'

%*#.........."What the ???"..........#*% Tell ya wot.... I Aint Happy.... (òó) ( not impressed at all )
Whats goin on here ??? I've never had a problem with my Shuffle or Itunes, everythin was fine untill I updated to 'Itunes 7' and now its dead as a door nail. Upgrading to Itunes 7 all went fine, no glitches at all. Plugged my Ipod in, all is good as I can see it there. Itunes rebuilt my music library ( all is still good ) I rebuilt my playlists ( yep, all is still good ) I set it to autofill from my playlist ( cool, nearly there ) next I chose to Sync my Ipod, and it says "Updating iPod. Do not disconnect" so ok, thats alright, I'm sittin here waiting for it to sync, & waiting, .....& waiting, ...... still waiting...... eventually, up pops an error message sayin "The iPod cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to." So I press Ok and find that iTunes has frozen briefly, after a minute it comes good with another message, "The iPod cannot be updated. An unknown error occured {-50}."
Ok, to cut a long story short.... I have updated the iPod software version, and it says "Your iPod is up to date"
Now everytime it tries to sync it fails so I chose to hit the 'Restore' button. It seems to to be happening but that also ends up failing with same error message. I've tried everything,.. the 5 R's... I downloaded & ran the program 'iPod Restore Utility' (it failed also) same message... 'Cannot read or write to... ' Gettin frustrated now cause I've done everything I can think of at least 2 or 3 times including uninstalling & reinstalling iTunes and starting from scratch. (yes, 2 or 3 times) & yes, I can tell you, " I'M SICK OF IT !!! "
Windows cant even see it anymore ( XP pro sp2 ). When I'm in iTunes I can see my iPod is there, but its not seen in Windows. But when I eject/disconnect it from iTunes the 'iPod Drive Icon' briefly appears in My Computer for only a second or 2 then vanishes. That happens wether "enable for disk usage" is ticked on or off. I'll just say 1 other thing & that is, I havent bumped or dropped my shuffle or wrongly plugged or unplugged it in any way at all. I have allways treated it with the utmost respect and it 'used to be' in perfect condition.
So what do you all think ? Do you agree that itunes killed my lil Shuff ???
%*# D~~m You iTUNES #*% and %*# D~~m You APPLE #*% for takin my lil Shuff from me. It was a gift from a special someone, and my very 1st and only MP3 player I've ever had.
Well, there you go, now I've had my say can I ask just one thing ?
" Can anyone offer any other suggestions that I could try ? ..............and plz, dont say " GET OVER IT " lol

IPod video gives itunes the can't read or write error

I bought my iPod Video through the apple store shortly before Xmas. Since i was sepnding the holidays with my GF, she uses ugh windows. I formatted my ipod with windows, and got some songs on it and started using it.
When I came back, around 3 weeks ago, I cleared it to get it working in my powermac, but it gave me this read-write error, so i made a system restore and re-populated it with all my music, video's, contact info and calendar stuff.
Two days ago i got some new music, and (i also installed the dreaded 1.1 update), I tried to update my ipod with iTunes and i got this error in itunes saying it couldnt read or write to my ipod. Weird, I thought, but i restored it to factory settings. When I tried to import some music, it gave me the same error. Now I cant put any music at all!!!
What could be causing this problem?

"Can't Read Or Write to disk" Video Won't Transfer To Ipod

I have transfered videos to my ipod in the past but I have two tv shows from the Itunes story that won't transfer.
They are in the correct mpeg 4 whatever format. My itunes is the most resent version, but for some reason I keep getting the same error.
"Cannot Read Or Write To Disk".
HELP??!!
Windows XP

I've got this problem too. My 5g iPod 30gig syncs after about 3 minutes with iTunes then after loading songs and videos after 10 minutes i get the same message your getting - "Can't Read Or Write to disk". I think theres some kind of USB2 conflict or something. All my other USB devices work fine. All my drivers and software is up-to-date.

WARNING: Cannot "Read or Write" files on iPod

My iPod has been behaving very curiosly as of late. For the past month a wanring has flashed up on my iTunes screen when attempting to sync music files. The warning says *"Cannot read the disk 'iPod'. Unable to read or write files"*. Despite this warning my iPod has been able to update daily podcasts without issue. However, when I recently purchased new music I could not get it to sync to my iPod. I have no problem listening to this new album in my iTunes library, but it just will not sync to my iPod. I created a playlist for it and attempted to add it, but I discovered that the iPod was not syncing the playlists either!
In a recent attempt to remedy the problem I selected only to sync the playlist that had the new album. What happened was frightening. All my music was no longer on the iPod, with the exception of my podcasts! I tried altering the settings to return all the music, but now I am unable to add any of my music from the library.
I am wondering if anyone has experienced this difficulty before, and if so, if they have any trouble shooting techniques. I have already been ti Apple's support page and completed the 5 recommended steps, to no avail. Any suggestions or thoughts as to what might be occuring.

Luckily, backing up your itunes library is easy. Just duplicate the folder(s) with your music in it. (Most likely, it's user/Music/ITunes.) Once the copy is made, you might want to move it to a different part of your hard drive.
Now, restoring your ipod WILL wipe the device. If there's anything on your ipod that isn't in your itunes library (unlikely but possible), you want to make sure you've got a copy of it somewhere before restoring.
Before restoring, check to see if there is an update to the ipod's firmware that needs to be installed. This is a "longshot" but might help. Just click the "check for update" button on the ipod's "Summary" pane in itunes. (Current version is 1.2.3, I think).

Ipod will sync up once then says cannot read or write to disk.

Is this normal? The IPOD shows up in Itunes after the first sync but when I go and try to update the ipod again it says it cannot read or write to disk. Tech support says this is normal but it does not make any sense as the IPOD still shows up in Itunes.

the IPOd will sync up when I fiorst plug it in. the problem is when it is finished, Itunes says ipod update complete you can disconnect. I leave it connected, and if I try to update the ipod again after I download something or whatever into Itunes it comes back with the cannot read from or write to disk. I can unplug it and plug it back in and it work sfine. There is something with the software I guess that is not staying connected with the hardware after the first sync.

"cannot read or write to disk" when transferring itunes TV shows to iPod

I have downloaded two TV shows from iTunes, but cannot get them transferred to my iPod. When I click "Update iPod," with one of the shows selected, it will begin to download to the iPod and get ALMOST to the point of finishing, and then I will get an error message stating that the iPod can't be read or written to. At first I thought I just had a corrupted video file (although it plays fine on my computer), so I downloaded a second TV show. Same thing. I have downloaded some music vidoes from iTunes, and they transfer perfectly to my iPod. I've noticed that since I downloaded the latest iPod updater and version of iTunes, that I've had the same problem getting a few songs to transfer to my iPod from CDs as well, with the can't read or write error. This only happens to maybe one song out of thirty, but it is still annoying. Maybe it is the updater??
If anyone out there can help me, I would really appreciate it since I'm dying to watch these shows on my iPod! Thanks in advance!!
Windows XP

I did the 5 R's last night, and now my iPod won't update any songs. The iPod is showing up in iTunes, but the "Update iPod" option is grayed out. Also, before when I had installed my iPod, it appeared in iTunes with my name...now it just says IPOD. I assume that's because it's back to the factory settings, but thought it was odd. (Yes, I know how to rename it.)
Actually, after I ran the iPod updater to completely restore my iPod, it sat there frozen for hours with "Do Not Disconnect" on the screen, NOT flashing. Even after I disconnected the iPod (I had to turn off the computer completely to do this; otherwise, the USB port refused to stop running), the message just sat there. I had to reset it to get it to the point where I could select my language.
Any suggestions? I'm considering just wiping out everything (backing up my files, natch) and starting over with the CD that came with the iPod in the first place.

Can't read or write from iPod when it syncs with a big library

When I try to sync with my 50Gb size library in the iTunes installed on my iBook G4 (10.4.11), it appears "can't read or write from the ipod", in the middle of the synchronization. It starts to do the job very well, but when it has done only 6 or 8 Gb, the process got slower until it appears such message. I have iTunes 7.6 and ipod firmware 1.1. I have tried on Windows and Mac plattforms, trying all the combinations (Mac and/or Win formats) and the trouble persists. The device has only two weeks of use, and it was working perfectly until now. The problem it is the same if I do it manually (no automatic sync). I am not sure if the problem is defective hardware, does anybody have any idea or have similar problem? Thanks.

Thanks a lot for your answer. The idea of an increasing autoplaylist it is pretty good. I did it, in 5 Gb steps, and in the thrid step (10 Gb done), when it only has copied almost one Gb, the error message pop up again. Before the message appears, iTunes become slower and slower copyng each song until it stops in one song, and after a while, message appears. After, the system come down, almost blocked, and it takes a long until I can mount the ipod again. Of course, ipod restarts automatically and the songs copied in the last step are not there. I was taking care in every moment of the process, avoiding to leave the system suspend alone (and also turning off all the saving energy options). I am now pretty sure that the problem is on the device. Anyway, thank you very much for your valuable ideas.
