Is all the software on your computer up to date?

When I try to download books I purchased from Kobo I get the following error message: Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem: E IO CANNOT OPEN.
I've spent hundred of dollars on books that I can't get access to! How can I fix this?I've been having the same issue! I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling ADE but that hasn't helped; I've even created a new Adobe ID and that was also a fruitless venture. I haven't yet tried to unauothorize my device, but I am hesitant to do so as it seems that others have tried and have not succeeded. I am desperately caught in the middle of a series and I would love to have access to the new books that I've been trying to download from my library!

Disk could not be read from or written to? help please
I Just got my itunes to recognize my ipod but now when I try and sync my ipod it says "Attempt to copy to the disk "blah blah" failed. the disk could not be read from or written to" does anyone know how I can fix this?
I started experiencing the same problem 1 day after (according to Apple records) my warranty ran out. Would anyone want to post the "other solution" they have, but isn't on their website?
I may have gotten mine working again, its currently resyncing up all my songs, so it will take a while before I know for sure, but it looks promising.
Here's what I did...
Uninstalled iTunes 7.0.1 (reboot)
Backed-up iTunes 7.0.1 library (xml and itl file)
Reinstalled iTunes 6.0.5
* Restored iPod from 2006-06-28 updater
Reboot
Kill all iPod/iTunes services from Task Manager
Make sure iPod Service is stopped from Services
Put iPod in Disk Mode
Start iPod Service
Connect iPod to computer
Delete the iTunes Libary files (xml and itl file) so that iTunes creates new ones when it is launched.
Launch iTunes
Add some files to your library
If it works, try adding the rest of your files.
* I had lots of trouble with this, but eventually got it to work. Seems like it was in disk mode and I might have also killed all the other iPod/iTunes processes from Task Manager the time it was successful in restoring.

"The disk could not be read from or written to"? Help!
I was recently trying to update my ipod (5th gen. video) and sync it with my new music I downloaded, however the new songs would not sync and this error message came up:
Attempting to compy to the disk "ipod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
There is still plently of availible space on my ipod, so what is the problem?
Thanks!Hi Hatassi,
Have you checked out the suggestions from this article? See if it helps with your issue:

2nd iPod in a row saying "Disk cannot be read from or written to." Help!
My setup is as following:
MacBook Pro 2.16 Ghz Intel Core Duo
Mac OS X 10.5.2
Lacie 250GB External Hard Drive attached via Firewire
iPod Classic 160GB Black
iTunes 7.6.2 - Library has about 16,000 songs
Using the above setup, my 5th Generation iPod, my iPhone, and my iPod Nano all work just fine. My newly purchased iPod Classic however, refuses to work. Here is the story so far...
I have all of my music on my external hard drive. On the external, there is a folder entitled "iTunes." Inside of that, there are 2 folders. One entitled "Album Artwork" and on entitled "iTunes Music." The music folder contains all of the actual AAC and Mp3 files that makeup my iTunes Library. The actual library data itself, the files entitled "iTunes Library" and "iTunes Library.xml" are on my computer HD, in User>Music>iTunes. Now, I dont know why the library file is on the computer when all the music is on the external, but maybe thats just the way that works.
Anyway, I plugged in the new iPod Classic, it started to sync, and about 15 minutes in, I got a pop up box that said "iPod Sync failed. Disk cannot be read from or written to." So I did a few things to try to make it work. I reinstalled iTunes, I restored the iPod a few times. I set it to only sync music and not TV shows or Movies or Podcasts or Photos. I tried to sync it again. Nothing worked. So, thinking I had a bad iPod, I brought it to the store and swapped it out for a new one. Not a "new" one, but one from the back, so it was refurbished. I tried that. It still didn't work. So I called Apple tech support.
Tech support had me set my iPod for Manual use, and then alphabetically import songs by artists. In other words, bring over all the "A" artists, followed by the "B" artists and so on...So I did that, I got to importing a few songs by Cyndi Lauper, and it got to one song, called "Shine" and the error message came up. So I figured, there it was, the corrupted file. So I deleted it from my computer, and proceeded to go on importing manually, just in case. Well I continued for a while, and at the end of the day, there were about 100 songs that would not copy over. These were songs that worked just fine when you played them through iTunes, and worked just fine on all my other iPods.
So I manually transferred over all the songs that worked, which was about a 100 less than my full library. Along the way, instead of deleting the corrupted songs, I unchecked them. After I did the full manual transfer, I set up the iPod to an automatic sync, only syncing over songs that are checked, thinking the unchecked ones, the corrupted ones, would not even try to be transferred over and it work fine.
I was wrong. With the sync, this time it stopped on a song that was not corrupted the first time around. Not knowing what to do, I ejected my iPod, and it wouldn't eject. It said "iPod appears to be corrupt, please click restore." So I did that, thinking this would finally fix it, since the computer realized the iPod was messed up. I was wrong again. It didn't do anything, it just made it so I could eject my iPod.
So I'm now on my 2nd iPod classic. I've done what Tech Support has told me to do. Now I need help. Badly.I had similar problems, it was a nightmare and on a 3 month ipod too!. I use a Powerbook G4 at home and a G5 at work - both were returning the same problems. so I sent it off to apple, they quickly sent it back saying there was nothing wrong with and it didn't need to be repaired. I tried it again and the same problems occurred "disc cannot be written to or read from." I could copy 20 songs onto it at the very most. A couple of guys at my work suggested updating it on a PC, then adding tunes via my mac as normal - guess what!? it works a treat!?. How ridiculous is that!? an Apple product works best on a PC. these generations of ipods are obviously designed to work best on Intel based Macs. What is wrong Apple? are you abandoning the G-generation!? still, atleast my ipod works for now - it will prove a problem when I have to update the iPod's software since I don't own a PC or an intel-based Mac.

"Disk couldn't be read from or written to" error -Apple Suport Page no help
Error: "Attempting to copy to the disk <iPod name> failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
Symptoms: First few (5+) songs will load onto the iPod at normal speed...then it will start to slow down until it gets to a snails pace and then the error above shows up. If I then attempt to upload the song that the error occured on it will load fine until ~5 songs later when the same problem is repeated.
I've already checked:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?atnum=301267
I've already:
Updated Windows
Gotten my iPod replaced once only to find the same problem
Checked to see if it works (i.e. the songs upload to iPod) on another computer with using the same cord - It worked properly
Updated my USB drivers
Used other devices in the USB Port to see if the port itself is working.
Tried it with different files
NONE OF THESE SOLUTIONS WORKED
ANYONE ELSE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM?

The main thing I can say to do is download Quicktime Standalone. This same problem that other people have had was solved by this. I highly suggest giving it a try.
If you're having any problems with the download, go here:
Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or Quicktime software in Windows
Hope this will solve it! Again, I definetely recommend it, because that's an answer to this same problem. -

Error: The disc cannot be read from or written to. HELP!
We have two new Video iPods in the family... when we try to update them, we get the message: The disc cannot be read from or written to. We also cannot delete/edit the songs on the iPod. When we check certain songs to put on one iPod, but not the other, EVERY song is added -even with "only update checked files".
Is there away to create two Libraries -one for each iPod- and fix the Updateing problem? please!Hi all,
I am sorry to report that I too have this same disc error problem when syncing my iPod to my iTunes library. I take no comfort in knowing that I am one of many that have this same error. I checked on the iPod lounge forum and I just couldn't count the number of users that had the same problem. There are just so many!
I too have tried "5 r's" and I have also tried using a few "s" words and others...lol.
It seems like there is no "fix" for this problem but I will say this: If there is no solution, then I will no longer be buying iPods. This is my third iPod that I have purchased. Which makes my Apple investment near the thousand dollar mark. That is way too much money spent to not have a functioning music player. I will be switching to another player to see if the grass is greener on the other side.
I have been most dissappointed with this error and I will not be "recycling" this iPod for ten percent off of my next iPod purchase. -
I repaid the disks, its problems with Iphoto, should I just reset the iphoto and start from scratch?
I am encountering the same problem -- though with .qfx files from my bank. This worked fine in Firefox 31 ESR, but since upgrading to Firefox 33.0, I get the "<name>.qfx.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" when I attempt to download. (I should add that downloading PDF statements from the same site works fine, and that the qfx downloads work fine in IE and Chrome.)
I tried safe mode, it is still broken. Tried v34 beta, no luck. I reverted to version 31, it works again.
I guess I will stick with the older version until a solution is found...or just use an alternate browser to download my financial data. -
I changed the battery in my wireless keyboard and checked the batteries to make sure that they are good, I left the computer on while I changed the batteries. When I returned to the computer, the computer does not acknowledge the keyboard so I can't do any diagnostics. What do I do?
Hold the power key on the keyboard down for 5 secs to power off, tap the power button once to start. It should connect automatically.
