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,

  • 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.

  • Help! Error:Attempting to copy to the disk iPod name failed.

    Error message: Attempting to copy to the disk <iPod name> failed. The disk could not be read from or written to
    I get the error above when I am trying to transfer videos to my ipod that I have purchased from the Itunes music store. 4 of the videos I purchased worked and the other 4 would not transfer. I am not sure how to fix it. I have already restored my ipod once and that did not correct the problem.
    Any suggestions on what I should do next?

  • All music gone from iTunes and when trying to put it back, "Attempting to copy to the disk Macintosh HD failed. The disk could not be read or written to."

    Hello,
    I have a portable 500gb HD and I use it to put music and other stuff.
    Earlier, out of the blue, all of my music from iTunes disappeared, and I tried to put it back by dragging my folder "music" from the external HD to iTunes, but the message "Attempting to copy to the disk Macintosh HD failed. The disk could not be read or written to." appears and nothing happens. Only 40 albums (the same ones every time) go into iTunes before the message appear.
    I tried restarting the computer and nothing happened.

    This sounds more like a hardware issue, possibly a failing drive if you had mysteriously vanishing files and there are problems writing to your drive..  You could get better support on a forum for your Mac model or at lest one for your operating system version.  Have you verified the disk with Disk Utility to see what it reports?

  • Attempting to copy to the disk 'IPOD NAME' failed. An unknown error occurre

    Hi I keep getting an error when I sync my Ipod.
    "Attempting to copy to the disk 'IPOD NAME' failed. An unknown error occurred (-69)."
    I have a 20 GB click wheel Ipod. And nothing is working to fix it. Restoring, etc.

    I don't know if you've found a fix for your problem or what exactly could be causing it, but I'm wrestling with the same issue myself.
    Some say it's happens when your files are corrupted.
    If you read this post -- http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=887569 -- and the subsequent replies there is a work-around to this using MusicMatch and other suggestions that may help.

  • Every iPad sync ends with - Attempting to copy to the disk Macintosh HD failed unknown error -4

    I started getting failures of this nature quite some time ago, though before that the iPad synced fine. I'm trying to sync to a latest model iMac.
    The iMac was set up from the backup of my old iMac which died. Not sure if that's the cause of this. I have tried the file verification process I read about on another post, but after running it to completion it made no difference to the error.
    This issue has continued through each upgrade since it started happening. Both iMac and iPad are on the latest OS.

    Hello, I don't find a lot of cures for that, but might see the last post here...

    Re: iTunes Error - attempting to copy to the disk "Macintosh HD" failed     Nov 21, 2010 9:08 AM    (in response to cosmocreek) 
    When itunes 9 was released, they also offered a different way to organise media.
    Instead of putting music in "iTunes Music" it gave the option of putting things in "iTunes Media/Music".
    see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3847
    Try putting things in the itunes 9 organization. Do this by going to the file menu.
    Select Library > Orginize Library. If you can select "upgrade to itunes media arganization". Then click OK and let it reorganize your library. If you cannot select this (becuase it is grayed out) then itunes thinks it is already using that method. In this case, try renaming your "iTunes Music" folder to "iTunes Media" - apparently in some cases itunes did not make this change, which might be what is confusing your ipod sync. Be prepared to rename this folder back to what it was in case it causes problems . . .

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • Attempting to copy to the disk "My iPod" failed. An unknown error occurred (-69)

    After restoring my iPod 160G because it had frozen on the Apple logo, it started displaying this message whenever I attempted to resync it to my computer. There are a bunch of different files causing the problem, different each time, and it doesn't seem to be coming in in any particular order.
    I've moved computers and had my library wiped out but all my files in their scattered locations about my computer had synced up fine to my iPod before I restored it.
    If I have to remove the offending files that's fine, but there must be an easier way then starting and restarting a 10,000+ song syncing and waiting for a bad file to pop up to go uncheck it.
    Thank you very much!

    Yes I've already seen this article. But because I have over 10,000 songs, it takes much to long to sync and re-sync my iPod, waiting for the bad file to pop up each time. This isn't being cause by any one song but by several. I'm trying to find a quicker way to identify the bad files.

    Hi.  I moved my iTunes library into a shared folder so both my wife and I can have separate iTunes libraries using the same music files.  Everything has been fine until tonight when she received the above referenced error when trying to sync after downloading the newest iPhone update. 
    We're running OS X Lion.  My phone works perfectly but hers is not.  I've tried the few fixes I could find.  Ran disk utility and repaired permissions after making sure that the music folder (and enclosed folders) were granted to her and me.
    Any suggestions?  I've been trying everything I could find online to no avail.
