IPOD starts syncing then gets a variety of errors

when i plug my ipod in and try and sync it starts then stops with a variety of error messages ive had everything from 'the disk cannot be read' to 'an unknow error has occurred' etc. this has only been happening since i uploaded some files to transfer onto a friends laptop. there was problems reading the pod on the laptop. anyone help, please. im throughly sickened!

I just bought my 30gb Ipod video last week. The first time I sync-ed with my Macbook, a variety of error messages were displayed after several attempts at restoring.
"An unknown error has occured. (Error 1418)."
"An unknown error has occured. (Error 1417)."
"An unknown error has occured. (Error 1453)."
I did the 5Rs and it worked fine. After a day, I was able to rip more audio CDs into my Macbook. When I sync-ed again, the following error message was displayed:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
iTunes also syncs all songs everytime I sync. I tried the 5Rs again and removed the Photo cache, to no avail.
I have checked with out local reseller about replacement and it will take 21 working days. It's a bit too long for me. Is there any way for my iPod video to work properly?
Would appreciate your help. Thanks.
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

When I try to eject my ipod after sync I get the following message:"The iPod cannot be restored because it contains files that are in use by another application.". I tried to restore but it doesn't work and I get the same message

Go to your computer's System Tray and try ejecting. If you can't eject, there is an application that is trying to access your iPod.
Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx and download ProcessExplorer.
Go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555665 and follow the instructions under Resolution.
Note that this is a good, general process any time you can't access any file.
In my case an update to RealPlayer installed a program called RecordingManager that was accessing my iPod.

IPod partially syncs & I get "Disk cannot be read from or written to"mssg.

Here's my initial problem:I think I Blew It. Tried to move iTunes from OS (C:) to DATA (D:). First I now realize that I should have come here first. But I didn't. I basically copied all of my iTune files into DATA (D:) and deleted them from OS (C:). Now when I open iTunes nothing is there. I left a couple of folders that wouldn't transfer from (C:) to (D:). One is a temp file 2, another is iTunes Music Library XML. doc. My iTunes music folder is empty and my iTunes library folder is pretty much empty too. The folders in DATA (D:) still have my 30 GB of music. So I wonder if I can undo this fiasco?
Here's where I am at today:Well I somehow got my library back. But I think I now have a couple copies of it on different drives. I configured the iTunes settings to feed off D drive but my problem now is I can't sync my ipod completely. I get the infamous "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod" message. I've tried restoring the ipod, creating a sync folder,checking and getting windows updates, and enabling the disc. I'm totally lost here.Please help all wise ones....

Let me add the advice Polydorus gave me to get back library: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1327455&tstart=0 You haven't give enough information to tell exactly what the problem is.
Did you copy the iTunes folder to the d: drive, this folder contains the library databases and the iTunes Music folder.
If you did that, you can try starting iTunes with the shift key held down, when asked to choose a library, navigate to the iTunes folder on the external drive and choose iTunes Library.itl.
This only works if you copied the iTunes folder and you had a default arrangement with all your music files in the iTunes Muisc folder in the iTunes folder.
If you didn't do that and you don't mind losing your counts, ratings and playlists you can do the following:
I am going to assume that you still have your iTunes folder on the c:drive. Close iTunes and drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music library.xml out of the iTunes folder to the desktop.
Then open iTunes and an empty library is created, first go to Editit>>Preferences>>Advance>>Gneral and check that the location of the iTunes Music folder is correctly set, then add the iTunes Music folder to iTunes with File>>Add folder to library. If you have music in other folders, you add those too.
Note that these two possibilities do not cover all eventualities, you will need to explain exactly what you did for further advice. POST NOTE: I basically drug the libray to the desktop and opened iTunes with the shift key held down, when asked to choose a library, I did and it came back.

what version of iPHoto do you have? Of the OS? is the iPhoto icon you are speaking of in the Dock?
re-read your post and try to provide information using standard Mac terms since we can not see you or your computer and only have your worrds to let us try to help you
Somehow my "IPhoto" icon now says "Preview". When I click on "Preview" nothing opens up except the bar says Preview. When I click on the Preview on the bar, a box opens up with different items, except when I click on any of them, there is nothing there. The only thing that work is the "quit preview". However, it is still there where my IPhoto icon should be. I can't get into my IPhoto. How do I get rid of this "Preview" and how did it end up taking over the IPhoto icon???
If you go to your Applications folder and double click on iPhoto what happen?

Ipod starts and I get a folder error

When I turn my ipod on, the apple icon comes up, and then the folder icon with a "!" mark next to it pops up. I've tried manually restarting, manual disk mode, and a bunch of other stuff and nothing fixes it. Please help.

Screen starts dark then gets brughter.

Hey all. I've had my iBook for about 3 months and lately I've noticed that my screen is much darker when I boot-up or awake my machine. It only takes about 30 seconds to return to normal.
I usually run my laptop with the brightness down 3 or 4 notches to save the life of the screen but now I find I need it all the way up for the first little while.
So is this normal? It's not a big deal and if it doesn't get any worse then I'm okay with that. But could it be a sign of something disasterous?
Thanks.

Its perfectly normal. I've never owned a laptop that reached max brightness isntantly after waking up from sleep.

Where could I get a new iPod 5 screen then get it replaced?

My iPod was in my binder (it zips up) and I pulled it out to a (much more) broken screen. Where can I get a new one? Where can I get it replaced?

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs (USA price). They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the screen yourself if you are up to it
iPod Touch Repair – iFixit
The last time I looked Apple is likely the best deal since screens cost over $100.,

Please help, I'm extremely frustrated. ipod is stuck in recovery mode. Connected to different computer to restore and after 75 minutes of downloading get a message that there was a Problem downloading, network connection timed out. Cannot get past "connect to itunes" on ipod.

Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves that error.

Hi cheer4lifelil,

It may be a connection issue where iTunes cancels the sync.

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

When I start firefox I get a jarva script error component classes (cid) is unidentified

the above message appears in a pop-up box and when I click the OK button firefox opens fine

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.<br>
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Thank you for the sympathy and the information about the Adobe.com forum Michael.
I posted here because, to be honest, for a company that's acknowledged their installers and updaters and support needs some work, they seem very determined to obfuscate the means by which users can provide direct feedback to the company. Much like you, I've also noticed a trend in CS5 installations that mirrors the issues that were present in CS4. it's a sad state of affairs.
As for my installation, you are also quite right to say that a clean install would have been a lot faster than what I went through with TS and it was actually my first idea. Before calling TS I'd actually read through the forums and noticed that a large number of users who were faced with my situation had no other choice but to reformat. I was just giving Adobe the benefit of the doubt and wasted 2 and a half weeks through that course of action...
What makes this situation even more frustrating is that the installer failed on a fresh system. It was a custom-built design machine, assembled and configured by myself. The only software that had been installed on it prior to Design Premium was Firefox, an FTP client and the start of my problems, trial versions of various CS4 programs. I used trials just long enough to retire the previous design computer so that I wouldn't contravene the EULA's stipulation of not running more than one instance of software at the same time on different machines. Turns out being honest once again penalised a legal customer.
If there is just thing users should learn from my far from unique tale of failed tech support it's that if you ever run into a problem with the installation, don't bother calling TS, just reformat and start from scratch. It might seem like it'll take longer to get going again, but in actuality, it's the opposite. Reformatting means you'll be up and running in about 1 or 2 days rather than 2 weeks.

IPod not syncing, very strange and different problem compared to others

I have an 80 GB iPod Classic, when i plug it in to sync with my computer. The computer makes the noise showing that the computer recognizes a USB port being used, however iTunes immediately freezes up while the iPod sits in limbo on its screen saying Connected while showing the Sync sign. While the iTunes is frozen, nothing happens and it does not change until I unplug the iPod. It doesn't matter how long I leave it for. When i unplug the iPod the device menu finally shows in iTunes however it doesn't do any good because the iPod is no longer plugged in. Instead it shows the DEVICE menu in the background with an error message saying either "The iPod "Customer's iPod" cannot be found. The required file cannot be found" or that with a (-53) error message at the end. I have tried many different things including system restore and still does not work. I have tried different ports, different cords. I really don't know what I can do from this point. I have installed and uninstalled iTunes 8.1.

Use the SHIFT-Launch iTunes method to get iTunes waiting for a library. Stick the iPod in disk mode and connect to the computer. Browse *My Computer* and right-click on the drive for the iPod, click Properties, then click Tools. Under Error-checking, click *Check Now*. Under Check disk options, select *Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors* (Optional - takes ages but a good idea if you've reason to suspect physical damage). Click Start. Mac users should run *Disk Utility / Repair Disk* for the equivalent process. This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive which may be causing the problem. When the process is complete disconnect the iPod and then reset it (hold Menu+Select ). Cancel the waiting iTunes dialog and then try to connect in the normal way.
If that still doesn't work you could try Erase your iPod - The Super Fix for most iPod Problems. Basically a low level format of the iPod’s hard drive to get around whatever problems are stopping iTunes from working with it.
Have you tried connecting the iPod to another computer to see if the issues is focused on the iPod or iTunes?
