"No disk in drive" warning

Whenever I plug my iPod nano into anyone of my USB ports I get a warning window come up that won't go away, "Warning- There is no disk in drive. Please insert a disk into drive." I click "Cancel"..it comes back, I click "Try Again", it comes back, I click "Continue" it comes back! It fricking won't go away!
I can't even click "Restore" cuz' this stupid window is blocking me from doing anything else. The only way out is "Ctrl/Alt/Del" and even that takes acouple of attempts before it works.

I found a way to fix it myself. I found some tips at http://www.drewfindley.com/findleydesigns/support.html . Since I only get the error message when the iPod is plugged in, so without it plugged in, I could still start up iTunes with no problem (Step 1). Next, I borrowed steps 2 & 3 and this made it possible for me to have the iPod plugged in without that STUPID error message block me from any other options, so I figured, “Hey, why not just go for the RESTORE option? I got this far.” Click... Wait... Problem solved! I made my own step 4 and the heck with Drew Findley’s steps 5-16.

Hard Drive warning when upgrading to Mountain Lion. 2 try and I was able to upgrade. Software update for IPhoto, had problems restarting. Do I need my hard drive checked

Hard Drive warning when upgrading to Mountain Lion. 2nd try and I was able to upgrade. Software update for IPhoto, had problems restarting. Do I need my hard drive checked

Yes.
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.
When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can release the keys.
Click Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
Click First Aid.
If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
Click Repair Disk.
If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done.
Otherwise, you may need to do one of the following steps.
If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and then restore your backed-up data.
If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced

Firewire external mobil disk hard drive is no longer recognized

After last system update, my firewire external mobil disk hard drive is no longer recognized. Any solutions?
Why does MacOS go backwards... gets worse over time?

Thought you could use this info about getting FireWire to work! I have had no trouble with any update Apple puts out (the Combo update is what I normally choose). Are you running 9.2 like your specs. say? You are in the Tiger forum, so I'll assume you haven't updated your Macs specs.
First, you should always Repair Permissions in Disk Utility before and after any update; I would do that now. If you installed your update with FireWire plugged in, your Mac may not recognize it anymore.
Try resetting your FireWire ports by disconnecting all FW devices, shut down your Mac and unplug it from AC power (wall socket) for 30 minutes. plug it back in and try FW.
If that did'nt work, download the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try. Yours may be the 10.4.5 Combo update. Others reading, download the Combo that applies to your system.
If that still did'nt get it Zap the PRAM. While restarting Mac hold down the following key combo Command-Option-P-R. Keep holding those keys down till you hear the second start-up chime, then release.
For those of you with Macs that are not PowerBooks or iBooks, a bad internal battery can cause FireWire to not be recognized, so make sure it's good!
Good Luck!
Cheers!

Windows Message"No Disk in Drive" appears @ itunes startup & w every click

When itunes starts up I get this message box "There is no disk in drive. Please insert disk into drive." I can click on continue or cancel to close box but it reappears whenever I click on a song. It sometimes won't close even if I do insert a disk. I am just learning itunes. Does anyone have advise?
Compaq Presario Windows XP

Are you sure it's iTunes, and not quicktime? Because with quicktime, you can get that message if you play a movie from a CD, and it keeps looking for it.
If that's the case, open QuickTime and choose File, then Open Recent, and then Clear Menu.

Error Msg - There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive

Okay, I have been using itunes w/the same ipod for quite a while. Recently my computer died so I just bought a new one. Before getting rid of the old one I logged onto windows and moved all my files to an external drive. I am now using this external drive for all my docs, music, etc. on the new computer and did a "move" of "my documents" (including "my music" contained therein). I installed itunes and my ipod using the software disks that came with my ipod. I inserted the ipod and it worked fine but it did make me associate the ipod with this new computer and had to reinstall all my music on my ipod. So far so good. Then when I went to play a purchased song itunes informed me that I had to upgrade to the most recent version of itunes to play the song. I then dowloaded the update and installed it. After installing the updated itunes, itunes then basically re-associated itself with my ORIGINAL profile (I'm not sure if profile is the correct word to use here) and once again deleted everything on my ipod and reinstalled all my songs. Now this is where I began having this problem. Now, everytime I run itunes (with or without my ipod connected) I get 12 of the above-mentioned error messages. The top of the box says "Windows - No Disk" and the main part of the box says "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive." I am given the choice of "Cancel" "Try Again" and "Continue." I hit cancel for a total of 12 times. I've tried with disks in both of my cd/dvd drives and get the same message. The funny thing is that I have about 12 or so card readers (scene by the computer as drives) and I'm thinking that maybe itunes is trying to access those drives or something, but I'm not sure. So, that's it in a nutshell. Any help by someone w/knowledge of this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This can also be caused in iTunes 7 by "dead tracks": songs that iTunes is expecting to find in a certain place but the song file isn't there.
I recently upgraded to version 7 and got this message every time I started iTunes. I used the iTunes COM SDK for Windows with JScript to find all the dead tracks in my library. Then I fixed them by either deleting them from the library or else correcting the library's idea of where the song file was. Once I did this the message went away.
Another way to look for dead tracks is to parse the iTunes library XML file and look for invalid file paths. I did this in Perl without too much trouble.
(I'm cross-posting this to several threads about the same problem.)

Windows computer says 'Format disk in drive E' when I plug in iPod. Will this erase everything?

When I plug my iPod nano into my Windows laptop, it says 'Format disk in drive E'. Will this lose everything if I do this?

IPod Sync - No Disk in Drive message

Hello,
When my iPod completes sync-ing, I get the "Windows - No Disk" error message, stating "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive."
If provides the drive letter involved and offers one to Cancel, Try Again, or Continue.
Note: File Explore does show the iPod, w folders, listed as the drive prompted for. If does correctly sync that files. Also, once one ejects the iPod, file explores, correctly, no longer lists that drive.
The event log simply records this as eventID 26 repeating several times.
Microsoft's support site states the following for the eventID:
Explanation
The program could not load a driver because the program user doesn't have sufficient privileges to access the driver or because the drive is missing or corrupt.
User Action
To correct this problem:
Ensure that the program user has sufficient privileges to access the directory in which the driver is installed.
Reinstall the program to restore the driver to the correct location.
However, I do have privileges and the application has been reinstalled.
Ideas what is triggering the prompt?

I have seen two suggestions for fixing this issue:
1. Microsoft's
This is specific to XP, and your profile shows you are using XP.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925196/en-us
2. An old post in another forum that said "I un-installed iTunes and then went to C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Applications Data\Apple Computers\iTunes and deleted the iTunes preferences file. I did the same at C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Local Settings\Applications Data\Apple Computers\iTunes. I then re-installed iTunes."
Neither of the above worked for me.
What did work was very simple: with the iPod connected, on the Summary tab, check the "Enable disk use" option, then click Apply.
Hope this helps.

Windows "No Disk in Drive" error

I'm having some issues with the Enable Disk Use feature and Windows. I have a 5th Gen 30gb iPod. My preferences are set to 1) Open iTunes when this iPod is connected; and 2) Only sync checked items. Enable Disk Use is not checked.
Here's what's happening:
If I manually Sync my iPod, a Windows error pops up "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive G:. Cancel/Try Again/Continue"...so I cancel out of the error and My Computer shows my G: drive as my iPod...even though I don't have "Enable Disk Use" checked.
I've also had this same error if iTunes is open and then I plug my iPod into a USB port.
My workaround is to enable disk use, apply changes to my iPod and then disable disk use and apply changes. This works but I'm wondering/hoping that there is a more permanent solution to this problem. It's annoying.
Anybody??
Thanks!

Error message - no disk in drive

On opening Elements 9 (& also when trying to save) I get the following error message.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''

* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

There is no disk in the drive--please insert a disk into drive F & more

Hey,
I've been having a problem with my ipod shuffle (2nd gen) for the past couple of weeks. Everything is okay until I try to eject the ipod. I click the eject button and the following errors pop up: "There is no disk in the drive--please insert a disk into drive F." and this next error pops up immediately after the disk F error. "The ipod can not be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application."
I've been browsing around on this forum and I came across a person that had the exact same problem I had. That thread is located here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12582148&#12582148 Take note of the person replying to the person asking about the problem saying it could be a problem with an anti-virus program. The asker said they had McAfee. I also have McAfee. And since the person answering didn't know too much about McAfee and suggested the asker take it up with McAfee, I decided to go straight to the McAfee forum to ask about the problem. I asked my question over there and the person answering said it couldn't be a problem with McAfee. It doesn't interfere with legitimate software. I could always click skip once it reached the ipod if I felt like doing that. Or I could turn off the schedule scan to avoid automatic scanning--I already did that. I prefer manual scans. Anyway, the McAfee discussion is located here: https://community.mcafee.com/message/167031#167031
As for the 5 R's: I have reset the ipod. I've tried putting the dock into another USB port. It's firmly in the dock btw. I updated itunes a couple of days ago to see if that would help the problem and it didn't. I uninstalled itunes last night, restart the machine and reinstalled it and I still got the error. And I haven't tried restore. tbh I really want to avoid that route if at all possible. I've done 4 out of the 5 R's. I'd hate to restore everything and still have the problem come up.
Can somebody please help me? Normally I wouldn't consider this a huge problem but I don't want it leading to a bigger problem in the long run.
And for computer information: My system is 100% clean. I have McAfee and Malwarebytes and I use them regularly and it always comes out clean.
Thank you for any/all replies.

I had the same problem and after a few hours, I found the fix. iTunes uses a program called "MobileDeviceService". It appears Mcafee blocks this program by default. To resolve this, got to McAfee Firewall Settings, click "Internet Connections for Programs", and find the program called "MobileDeviceService". Edit the settings to change Access Level from "Block" to "Full". Now you will be able to synch to your iphone/ipad/ipod through iTunes.

There is no disk in the drive. please insert a disk into drive

i downloaded new itune upgrade. now i cant use it because this windows message appears(there is no disk in the drive. please insert a disk into drive) & i cant cancel, try again or continue it.as this message keeps appearing itune is trying to anayize each song (12000 songs)but cant because the windows no disk windows keeps popping up.

I haven't seen this myself but in another forum query someone suggested that one possible cause of this is dead tracks.
If so you can get sofware that can remove dead tracks.
iTSync is one such program which others have recommned although I have no experience of it myself.

Fix needed? Bad tif froze cs5 ps: "No disk in drive. Insert disk into drive \Device\Harddisk2\DR2"

Request response from Adobe moderator. Work stoppage.
12-23-2010.    Windows 7 Home Premium. 64-bit. All updates are done promptly. Using NOD32 antivirus.
Apparently I can't insert a Snagit 9 screen grab into this message.    Adobe's message said the content type wasn't allowed. It was a Snagit 9 window grab saved into a Word document. ??
========================================================================================== =======================
A lawyer sent me a tif of a contract, titled "Photoshop.exe". I couldn't open it in PS, and finally had to have another person scan the contract and send it as a pdf.
The error message dialog box says "Photoshop.exe - No Disk" at the top.
After the red circle with the white "X", "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk2\DR2".
"Cancel"    "Try Again"   "Continue"
None of the 3 options has any effect.
Only the splash screen of ps appeared before the error message appeared. PS is frozen at this point.
Task Manager showed "Photoshop.exe - No Disk" was running, but "End Task" had NO effect.
Task Manager said PS was "not responding". The attempt to close ps resulted in the "not responding" becoming translucent, but ps wouldn't close. Since the error message was still open, I clicked on the x in the upper corner. The message either blinked and reappeared, or had no response at all.
I was fortunate enough to actually close the message once, only to have it reappear before I could complete clicking on the "Close" button in Task Manager. Several clickings later, I was successful in closing the error message and utilizing task manager to get ps to close, by clicking on the "Lose Data" caution message. Then I was able to "Quit Task" the "Photoshop.exe" file. Quite a frustrating situation.
Now, I can't use PS. Whenever I open it, it freezes at the spash screen and the same error message appears!
Last night, another similar message appeared:
Yesterday evening, this error message appeared. Note the identical "Photoshop.exe" portion of the message:
Owl Orphanage: Photoshop.exe – Entry Point Not Found
X The procedure entry point ?GetNumTiles@JP2KImage@@QAEJXZ      (Same white X in a red circle.)
     could not be located in the dynamic link library JP2KLib.dll.
I can't decide if a virus was embedded in the image file the lawyer sent, or if there is some but in ps which is reacting to this tif file.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Don

Thanks, Bob.
I considered that possibility initially, but the file was expected, as it was from my family's lawyer, and was being sent per a conversation with other family members.

Error Messages: "There is no disk in drive..." and "Cannot Sync (-124)

Hello everybody,
Kind of a unique case, but problems started for me when I upgraded to Itunes 8 on my new Toshiba Netbook which runs Windows XP. Seems like everytime I open Itunes and insert my ipod nano (4th gen), I get a Windows error message that reads "There is no disk in drive. Please insert disk in drive." After clearing from this message (it doesn't matter whether you press Cancel, Continue, or Try Again), I try to sync my music. No go. I receive an error from itunes that reads "Cannot sync music due to unknown error (-124).
Right now, this case has been kicked around Apple and Toshiba for two weeks. I'm getting frustrated becuase Apple is telling me that it's a fault with the operating system since Windows is assigning the wrong path to ipod. Toshiba is saying its a software problem with Itunes. As I wait for a solution, I have no functioning Ipod since it can't load up any new playlists.
I've tried the 5 R's, created a new user profile on my computer, and even changed the location of my usb drive for my inano. None of it has worked so far. One suggestion did work in getting rid of the error messages but didn't do anything to unlock my inano. It was the suggestion to go into "my computer" and checking the properties of my inano, then checking the boxes to scan and repair any errors windows finds in the inano. After this attempt, I'm starting to believe that it's a software issue with itunes 8. Something I want to believe since it saves me the trouble of sending my new netbook to Toshiba for work.
Any ideas here? Thanks for the help
