Ipod touch error message-"attempting to copy to the disk "dad" failed....

I have an 8 gb ipod touch. My ipod is called "dad". I have dragged songs from the library to my music and will receive the error message "attemtping to copy to the device 'dad' failed. the device is not connected. I can see the device on itunes...not sure why it is seen as not connected. Note one thing. If I unplug my ipod or turn it off and on it will work for 5 or 10 songs properly...and then stop working and give me the error message above. I have tried restoring on iunes and that did not work. Does anyone else have any advice

i am also having this problem. i have only tried with apps and music. it starts to sync, does a couple, then just disappears from itunes. the ipod touch still says sync in progress though.
i have tried restoring multiple times, i have tried doing it in dfu mode, tried different ports. its a 1g 16gb ipod touch.
i see im not the only one having this problem. so what is the solution apple?
i love how its our fault. i have always taken good care of my ipod. if i take it to an apple store they would not repair whatever is wrong because my warranty ended in november.
thanks apple...

  • After trying to sync my ipad to a new pc, i get this error message "Attempting to copy to the disk "windows" failed.  the device is not connected."  but it is connected.

    I have been trying sync my ipad to a new pc and I get this message after the sync fails:
    "Attempting to copy to the disk "windows" failed.  The device is not connected."
    The device is connected, what is wrong here?

    This is a common problem that is most likely caused by files that are not marked to have proper read/write permissions.
    To solve this problem, follow these steps.
    1. Close iTunes.
    2. Using the finder, Ctrl-click the folder that contains your music files, then select Get Info.
    3. Ensure that the Owner is set to have Read & Write privileges. Choose to Apple to enclosed items…
    Once you have modified permissions, fire up iTunes and try to sync your music again. If it throws the same error message and still doesn’t work, research more about permissions in Mac OS X, as there could be something else not right with the permissions of your music files.

  • Help - Attempting to copy to the disk "J" failed. An unknown error occured

    pls help I get the above error Attempting to copy to the disk "J" failed. An unknown error occured (-69) when I connect my ipod nano 8GB Gen 3 and try to synch. Ive got the latest Itunes software, Ive done the 5 r's, Ive tried a different USB cable. I can't think of anything else left to try, when I d/c on my computer it doesn't bring up my ipod but under device manager its there, says its working properly

    This is the same thing that just happened to me. My error message reads as follows: "Attempting to copy to the disk "C's IP" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to". I've reset and restored. It still will not add the last 3 songs that I have purchased from Itunes. I have completely read the manual and can't find anything that deals with this problem. I have only had my ipod for 10 months. I hope someone can help with this.

    It would be useful to you if they had a different name, but the computer knows they are different. Create separate sync playlists for each device and go to the Music tab when it is connected and specify which playlist should be used for the sync.

  • "attempting to copy to the disk C:\ failed. the file name was invalid or...

    "attempting to copy to the disk C:\ failed. the file name was invalid or too long." This was the message that I keep getting after trying to "add folder to library" of multiple tracks from an external hard drive. it only happens after a certain period of time.. i get about half of my tracks added before this message pops up. when i first got my i pod it worked fine. but after i hooked up my i pod several times without having that external drive on... the i pod took over that drive letter that my external drive used to use. so.. when i turned on my external drive, it was given a new letter.. then i tunes would not recognize those 1500 tracks that came from my external drive (explanation points listed next to tracks). so.. I deleted all of those files manually, then tried to add folder to library again from the new letter coordinating to my external hd. I kept getting that message above. after that i deleted all files associated with i tunes.. and uninstalled i tunes.. then did a reinstall.. did i tunes update from site... and tried to just add the set of tracks from that external hd... still same **** error. only now.. after i say ok to error... i tunes continues for like 2 seconds.. then has to shut down... ****!!! can anyone help me with this... anyone?

    just to update my problem... I finally figured out that i had to disable the "copy to my itunes folder from my library option. just so you know. apparently i tunes cant handle the large transfer to itunes and also at the same time copy it to your itunes folder... APPLE fix this!!!!!! this suxxxxx....

  • Message: ""attempting to copy to the disk Marias Ipo failed.

    I have 2 ipods, when attaching the 2nd ipod, the following message comes up after the nano tries to automatically transfer the songs from itunes:
    "attempting to copy to the disk Marias Ipo failed. the disk could not be read from or written to."
    could this be realted to the fact that i have two ipods working from the same compter?

    Did this get resolved in one of your other posts?
    If not, my recomendation is
    1) reset the iPod (hold down the menu and center button until the apple logo appears), then reconnect to the computer and iTunes
    2) if #1 above doesn't work, I would restore the iPod's firmware using the iPod updater software that came with the nano. Launch the iPod updater and connect the nano to your computer. The updater should see your nano and give you to choices; update or restore, choose restore. After it is done, disconnect your nano, quit the updater, and reconnect the nano to your computer. iTunes should recognize the nano and attempt to sync with it. If you have the same problem, please reply and we'll see what we can come up with next!
    good luck,

  • When attempting to sync an iPhone or iPod I am getting an error: "Attempting to copy to the disk "iPhone" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."

    Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated!

    I'm having exactly the same problem.
    iTunes will sync contacts, and calendars, etc to the iphone but no music to the iphone or my ipod.
    In addition I have imported tracks not playing properly (they play for a couple of seconds, then skip to next track).
    Major nightmare, I use my ipod for work.

  • I have an 07' MacBook running OSX 10.6.8, and every time I open iTunes and Try to add music/sync my iPhone, I get message – attempting to copy to the disk Macintosh HD failed. The disk could not be read from or written to

    In addition, iTunes quits unexpectedly all the time.

    I'mhaving a similar problem as well - when I try to import a CD to iTunes, it won't recognize the CD (It will not play any of the music from the CD, nor will it import it.  I didn't have this problem with the previous iTunes, but the 11..0.2 version is giving me all kinds of problems ie., iTunes refusing to import it and iTunes giving me a message of not responding, requiring me to Force Quit in order to eject the disc.  This new version of iTunes is a worthless POS in my opinion.
