Reformatted iPod Classic Stops Syncing in the Middle - Error Message

So my iPod got corrupted. I clicked reformat in iTunes, it didn't work. I went to disk utility, repaired the disk, then went to iTunes, reformatted it again, and everything went well. BUT - then it started syncing all my music, and about halfway through I get an error message that says "the iPod couldn't be read or written to." This happens every time I reformat the iPod with iTunes now. What do I do? Any ideas?

OK Here's how I ended up solving it, after reading the article above:
My iPod always stopped syncing on that same song. So I just deleted it, and eveyrthing else went smoothly. Done. Go on your ipod, see where it stopped syncing your library, and delete the next song, that should work.

IPod classic stops playing in the middle of a song

I've had the same iPod classic for seven years. It still works very well, except that lately it stops playing in the middle of a song. I have to hit "play" for it to start playing again. Sometimes it will go for only ten seconds between stops, other times it will play just fine for several minutes before stopping. The song that I'm playing doesn't affect the stops. This only happens when I'm running, so I'm wondering if maybe the vibrations from running are what's causing it.
Does anybody have any suggestions for what I could do to fix this? I've tried restoring the iPod, and that didn't affect anything. I always keep the battery fully charged.

See if this helps ... https://discussions.apple.com/message/21623941#21623941

IPOD Classic stops sync

After 50 songs my Ipod Classic stops sync with Itunes

I got the same issue. I'm not shure, but i guess that is the Ipod Classic 160GB that stops working and causes iTunes to freeze. Any help would be appreciated.

IPod Classic stopped sync with new iTunes

Once iTunes went to version 11 my iPod Classic stopped syncing. My iPod Touch will sync. I prefer my Classic though. It is recognized by iTunes, starts the first step of the sync process but that shuts down and doesn't sync. It doesn't freeze my machine just won't launch the sync process. My library is on my iPod from the last time it would sync, but anything I've bought since won't load to the device. I ran the diagnostic and it fails at the end saying no device found, which is weird since it appears in my iTunes, tells me how much audio and files I have and reflects that I have 16GB available. I've tried tons of the tips on here, changed settings, checked and unchecked all kinds of boxes, changed USB ports, etc., and nothing has worked. Has anyone else had this issue since the v.11 series of iTunes came out?

I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb. The problem I'm having is that it will not more than about 5.4gb worth of songs. The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync.

I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb. The problem I'm having is that it will not sync more than about 5.4gb worth of songs. The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync process. The hard drive has been upgraded, it has a new logicboard (with 128mb RAM), new housing, battery, hold / headphone jack. Basically the only original parts are the bezel, click wheel, screen, and data ribbons. Have attempted the 3Rs and have also tried to isolate potentially corrupt audio files and remove them, but this did not seem to be the primary cause. The sync failure consistently happens at just under a 1000 songs (5.4gb) and then it starts to error (-69) any song after that. Your advise would be enthusiastically received.

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

IPOD CLASSIC STOPS SYNCING HALF WAY THROUGH

my ipod classing stops syncing half way through and says could not be synced can anyone help me please?

It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

If necessary, post the resultings numbers and we can verify what the next steps to take.

Hello all... i was having a horrible issue with my iPhone seemingly shuffling at random. So frustrating until I turned off the "shake to shuffle" option... I think most new iPods and iPhones have this feature in settings... good luck.

Is the iPod set up to Sync entire library?

Ipod touch passes sync test, but get error message and can't sync properly...can you help?

I get an error message saying I can't sync my iPod touch 4th generation, but when I do the diagnostic test, it says it passes and is working properly? The place I see it is in the playlists...like they won't transfer from my computer to the iPod...Recently Added, Recently Played...

I tried everything suggested by the link you provided and it did not work. I had been purchasing music directly from my iPOD for over a year. I decided to start using my iTunes account and the first time I tried to sync I was prompted to "erase content and sync". What happened was that the music was deleted from my iPOD and then it has never successfully sync'ed with iTunes.

The Mac OS X Lion begins installing and then stops and gives the following error message: Mac OS X can't be installed on the disk Macintosh HD because a recovery system can't be created. How do I fix this problem?

OS X Lion begins installing and then error message comes up that it can't be installed on MacIntosh HD because a recovery system can't be created. What do I do to fix this problem?

What to do if the installer warns that no Recovery HD can be created
Some disk partition configurations may result in the OS X Lion installer reporting that it could not create a Recovery HD. In these situations, even if you are permitted to continue the install, you should quit the install and create an external, bootable OS X Lion hard drive with a Recovery HD, first. You will be able to return to the upgrade to OS X Lion on your computer's boot drive after creating the external Recovery HD.
Important notes
Your storage device must have at least 13 GB available (after formatting) to install Lion and an Internet Restore partition.
These steps will erase and reformat the storage device. OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery will instruct you on setting up the storage device to use the GUID partition scheme and the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, which are required to install Lion and an Internet Restore partition on your external storage device. You should back up any important files that are on the device to a different drive.
This procedure will install a version of the OS X Lion that is compatible with the Mac it was created with. Using this Lion system with a different kind of Mac may produce unpredictable results.
Your computer's serial number will be sent to Apple to help authenticate your request to download and install OS X Lion.

My Ipod nano stops playing in the middle of a song.

My brand new never been used ipod nano cant get threw one song without stopping. The screen goes black and the music stops. I have to press the power button to get it to turn back on. But I still have to press play to get the song to come back on. Its brand new why isn't it working?

Thanks for solving this basic problem. I was about to return my nano and make a fool of myself . Once again, thanks a lot planb77.

IPod Classic just quits in the middle of a playlist

Say I have 10 songs in a playlist. It'll play 5,6,7 and then just quit playing. It acts just like it does when it gets to the end of a playlist. It's still turned on. Everything is there. Plenty of charge left. I can click on the same playlist or another one and it'll start playing again.
I did the full reset and restore procedure and reloaded all my music and playlists but that didn't solve the problem.

Mine just recently started doing the same thing. It worked fine last Monday, then I didn't use it most of the week until Friday and it played 2 songs of the playlist then quit. I could start it up again and it would play 2 songs and then quit. I have not tried reset or restore. Anyone got any ideas?
