Ipod Shuffle connected but error (Cannot read or write on device)

Hello,
My Ipod Shuffle 2 is connected to my Itunes on, I can create the name and everything seems fine. When I try to transfer songs, Itunes is showing that it is synchronizing and then I get an error message saying it cannot read or write from the device. What's wrong? I try reset the ipod, re-install the Itunes but I still get the same error.
What's happening.
Please HELP.

  • 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.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • Error! Cannot read or write to my ipod

    Whenever I plug my ipod into my powerbook, I get the error, "The ipod cannot be updated. The disk could not be read or written to." It was working fine, and then all of a sudden this happened.
    I've restored the ipod and reinstalled itunes, but I still have the same problem. The ipod is working fine, and I can still add music to it, but I have to do it manually and it locks up repeatedly. I have had problems syncing iphoto with it as well.
    Please help! I've talked to a few friends that said it is a sign that my hard drive is failing. Any thoughts?

    The solution is or at least it was for me is as simple as the "speed" of your USB conection. On my old PC i would connect my ipod via a USB on the front casing , no problems, when i changed my PC i used the front USB again and got the cannot read or write to ipod error. I just connected the ipod to one of the USBs at the rear and as i understand it they need to be USB2 type , have a go try all the USBs you have especially the ones at the back of your PC , hope this helps it did for me

  • HT201413 When connecting iPod Nano, getting message that "an ipod is connected but cannot be identified properly".

    When I connect my iPod Nano to the same installation of iTunes that we use for my wife's iPod Classic I am getting the message that "an iPod is connected but cannot be properly identified".  This has worked before and I can connect my wife's iPod Classic and synch with no problems.  I have tried resetting the Nano but that did not fix it.  I am running Windows Vista.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    I fixed it.  In itunes click help, run diagnostics, run tests, the test comes to ipod and says it is not running correctly so click the HELP and follow the instructions to the end.  Mine was fixed after i restarted computer!!!

  • ITunes crashes on exit when iPod is connected, but not otherwise?

    I had this problem ever since I installed iTunes 7...
    It occoured as soon as I installed the new verison while still using my old 4gb first gen. iPod nano.
    Now I just recently bought a new second generation nano, and still have the same problem.
    And the issue is, Whenever I close iTunes while my iPod is connected (but not being updated), i get the message that "iTunes.exe has preformed an illegal operation and will be closed".
    Though I just noticed that if I disconnect the iPod before closing itunes, it closes fine and normally.
    I Have tried to solve it by following toturials for uninstalling both just iTunes, and iTunes + QuickTime at the same time, and preform separate installations after cleaning the temp. folder and restarting. None of it has helped me solve the problem
    -And I have lived with ifor a while, but it is getting really annoying if I am sititng on my computer and jsut close iTunes, without disonnecting my iPod, to run another program using sound or a lot of system resources. And thne each time get the error-message that "iTunes preformed an illegal operation and..."
    Anytihng that can be done? -I run NO plugins for the record, and the iPod is connected by USB cable (seeing it is a Nano)
    Anything anyne can suggest that I'd do, then please tell.
    -Or if anyone need to know more then please ask.

    Hi, Im sorry just to add on to this discussion but I couldnt figure out how to start a new discussion and I am going mad! I have a new ipod because my last one was stolen and I have plugged it in and my PC wont recognise it. I think that is because my old ipod is the only one my computer will accept. Can that be right? It said the hardware device had been detected and then it said that it was troubled and it simply did not work. Now it is plugged in and not at all recognised in my computer anywhere. Can any one help this clueless girl who simply wants to listen to music again?
    Thank you.

    iTunes was deleted off the main computer where I installed my ipod nano. Now, itunes cannot read my ipod on my second computer. What do I do? I use a PC. I just want to be able to download songs again and put them on my ipod.

  • Error: cannot read: C:\Documents; and Settings\JR\Desktop\logrand.java

    Thats the problem.
    Bug started happening all the sudden.
    Double click a java file on the desktop that just two second before was built fine. Go to build it and it says that.
    "error: cannot read: C:\Documents; and Settings\JR\Desktop\logrand.java"
    Now note this is a file in the IDE.
    copy/paste/change file name/brand new file/turn off the computer. Everything on the desktop path says that same error message. Then i noted the semicolon in the middle of the path after documents. The compilier has misspelled the path name. Its open the file in the IDE but somehow the build step gets a path with a semicolon in the middle.
    What do i do?

    dont bother.
    it felt like some sort of corruption so i just reinstalled netbeans and that did the trick.
    I was still using 3.5 any way =)

  • FRM-40010 error: Cannot read from .... .fmx

    FRM-40010 error: Cannot read from ......... .fmx
    Hi everyone,
    In my formsweb.cfg file, i have an entry
    [iapp]
    userid=login/login@db
    form=Invlogin.fmx
    I attempted to launch my application from the desktop by clicking an icon that points to the URL
    http://myapp:8888/forms90/f90servlet?config=iapp
    and i received a FRM-40010: "Cannot read from Invlogin.fmx" error.
    When i moved the file Invlogin.fmx from my development folder to the
    C:\Ora9iDS\forms90 folder, the form is displayed.
    What's going on and how do i get the f90servlet to look in a particular location and not just C:\Ora9iDS\forms90 as it appears to be doing.
    I have included the path to my development folder in the FORMS90_PATH setting both in the registry and in the default.env file but no luck.
    Thanks.

    Stephen,
    does your development folder has a name with a blank in it (or one of the parent directories?). If yes then locate it in a path with no blanks. There is a know problem with blanks in path names.

  • Javac "error: cannot read ..." windows 2000

    I have installed jdk1.4.1 on my ibm with windows 2000. Whenever I try to compile a program, I get the message "error: cannot read: filename.java 1 error" Please let me know where I am making a mistake. Thank you.

    No, you place the "" around the name when you save it. This prevents the .txt from being added to the name. This won't allow it to be compiled. I "solved" the problem another way by saving it with All Files and I type in filename.java. This works fine, but I do wonder why the .txt is added on my Windows 2000 machine, but not my Windows XP machine.

  • I have a wifi connection but "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet" I have reset everything; I have used Itunes to update and reset. Still no good. It worked until 2 days ago

    I have a wifi connection but "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet" I have reset everything; I have used Itunes to update and reset. Still no good. It worked until 2 days ago

    Reset everything.. did you do this?
    Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings
    If you're already been there, done that, could be a third party app preventing Safari from accessing the web.
    Re sync your apps 5 at a time, then test the iPad.
