There is no disk in drive - message won't go away

Wene i Tunes starts it displays a panel saying "there is no disk in drive, insert a disk in the drive" . Options are "cancel", "try again" "continue"
NO matter which option I choose the message comes back again and again making it impossibe to do anything in the applications.
I can't see any reason why it should be looking for a disk
Any advice would be much appreciated.

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

try uninstalling the drivers
Plug in your iPod
Right click on My Computer and click on Manage
that will bring you to the Computer Management
On the left hand side click on device manager
on the right side click on the plus sign next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers
it will show a list, in that list locate iPod or USB mass storage device
right click and select uninstall
Unplug your iPod and plug it back in
Windows should automatically start installing them again
if nothing pops up then right click on Universal Serial Bus Controllers
and choose scan for hardware changes
If that does not work, try changing the drive letter
Go back into Computer Management
Click on Disk Management on the right
and on the left it should say your iPod
Right click and go into change drive letter and paths
click on the change button
Change it to something like N or M
Click ok, you will get a message saying "changing the drive letter may cause the program to no longer run are you sure you want to change this drive letter"
click ok
then restart your computer

Premiere Elements 13 Adobe Premiere Elements.exe-no disk (window) There is no disk in drive. Please insert a disk into drive\Device\Harddisk\DR3.

I just updated to Photoshop & Premiere Elements 13, by downloading the 64-bit Windows version from the Adobe website. Windows keeps popping-up (multiple times) "Adobe Premiere Elements.exe-no disk" window. Circle X - comment "There is no disk in drive. Please insert a disk into drive\Device\Harddisk\DR3. After 6 to 18 times (choses cancel, try again, continue). The window finally goes away. How do I get rid of this problem? BTW, when installing from Version 11, I opted from the preferences from the 11 Version.

What motivated you to
I chose Adobe Elements 11's preferences to be installed into the Adobe Premiere Elements 13
program. It was an options , when setting up the Version 13 program.
Was there something extraordinary about your Adobe Premiere Elements 11 preferences?
It is interesting situation...maybe a coincidence, but 11 was typically hit with No Disc message, and
most of the time the problem was related to SmartSound which was discontinued in versions 12 and 13.
If no extraordinary reason for this preferences transfer which I have not run into...
Assuming Windows 7, 8, o 8.1 64 bit
Local Disc C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
13.0
and, in the 13.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete to "flush" the preferences. If that does not
work, then delete the whole 13.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with
Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete file cited.
Have you installed Premiere Elements 13 to the default location on Local Disc C?
Please review and consider.

Can't sync ipod, there is no disk in drive F

wat does that mean? does anyone know what kind of disk they are talking about? is it just a probmlem with my computer? does anyone know what i should do?
also, i was able to sync my music, but then i tried to sync some movies and videos and "can't sync ipod. There is no disk in drive F" popped up

i think i am having the same problem as well. i plugged my ipod in to my computer last night and it said something about scanning for problems...then it popped up my F drive saying that i needed to insert something into the F drive....
i have tried three different cords to hook up my iPod to my pc...I tried another usb port...so i am assuming that it is either my computer, the iTunes or the iPod...regardless of what it is, my iPod wont update. and when it says it is updating it's not.
Does ANYONE know what to do??

Inconsistencies error message won't go away

On the MacBook Pro, running os x 1.4.9
I keep getting the warning about syncing time delay due to "Inconsistencies in your sync information for Calendars were detected". i don't use iSync and i don't have an iMac account, so i don't CARE.
But the message won't go away. What do i have to nuke to make it stop? it's incrediobly annoying, as it pops up every few seconds.
MacBook Pro Intel, powerbook g4, G3 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

finally tried pressing both power buttons at once forcing restart & the error went away... should have tried this before !

No disk in Drive Message

When I run Itunes I get the message "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \device\Harddisk\DR5" .
It appears over the itunes screen but it won't let me do anything and I have to exit through Task Manager.. Any Advice how to solve problem. I have all the current versions of Windows 7, itunes etc. I had a similar problem a while ago and had to uninstall Itunes and reinstall. This just started about two days ago. Thanks

Were you able to resolve this?
I tried fixing the same problem today and could not seem to find the correct file to delete. I reinstalled several times, trashed the pref files, trashed the temp folder items, even used the Windows Clean Uninstall Utility and no dice.

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.

Synch Issue - no disk in drive message - do not disconnect on IPOD

During synch I get a message:
"Windows - no disk
There is no disk in the drive - please insert a disc into Drive F"
Drive F is a usb port and there is nothing in it. I thought maybe a song had F: in the title - found two and deleted them from the library, but problem still there. ITunes say synch complete -IPOD says do not disconnect, so have had to reboot IPOD to disconnect. Synch is okay and all files updated okay. Any help?

Hello,
Well, thanks at least for confirming that I'm not alone. I've done a lot of research on the internet with folks having trouble syncing their older ipods and even ipod touches with the latest version of itunes. Hopefully Apple will read these complaints and address the issues in future versions.
Thanks.

Mysterious e-mail message won't go away ...

There is a e-mail message that continually pops up every time I start up mail and every time I send a message. It's a previous e-mail I sent from one of my accounts to another for backup reasons, but it won't go away. I delete it, and it reappears in my in box later whenever I try to send another message.
Can someone help me escape this loop?

I understand your frustration, but it's not always reasonable to expect Apple to fix problems beyond their control. There are lots of ways to set up mail servers and Apple has no more access to the configurations for the servers you use than you do. Mail works, in my case, with both Exchange 2007 and various iMap servers, so I'm sure your problem isn't ubiquitous.
When you have things that don't work together and they both want to point fingers at each other, the best thing to do is to gather all the information that's pertinent and supply it to both sides. Have you asked the mail system administrators about the details of their system, what software they're running, version, protocols, and ports? Apple can't possibly know those details.

HT4356 HP printer error message won't go away

Since updating my iPhone 5c on iOS 7.1.1, trust computer message won't go away

I didn't have this problem until I updated to 7.1 & also updating to 7.1.1. Before then I was able to plug in my phone to any computer & charge it & transfer pics & videos with no problem. Now the "Do you trust this computer?" Question constantly comes up & no matter how many times I click on "trust" it won't go away. Just keeps popping up. Anyone else with this problem? Thanks!

Can anyone help me please? Thanks!

Getting error no disk on dell pre installed premiere elements 13: there is no disk in drive. please insert a disk into drive\Device\Harddisk2\DR2 : can i fix this^

like the title says...
cannot get service or support on phone... I paid for this software... i though adobe was a good company.... darn
Can anyone help me...
Need this to work now not in a week...

Sorry you think Adobe is a bad company. Phone service for most common consumer software disappeared shortly after they invented the internet. This is a user forum where there are people that like Adobe products well enough that they freely share their experiences.
If you type "insert disk" in the "Ask it" box you will get answers that suggest there is an anomaly on some computers where you need to remove a file. Below is a cut and paste from one of those threads that was offered by Adobe Staff.
".... try removing the Old Film effect from the installed location of Premiere Elements 13 and then try to launch the app? The exact file to be removed is (assuming you have installed it in the default location)
Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 13\Plug-Ins\Common\NewBlue\OldFilm.AEX"
The other solution might be to get the update that was released only yesterday via download from Adobe. Premier Elements 13 is now 13.1.
Good luck!
Bill

How do I stop the irritating pop-up that appears on screen saying "there is no disk in drive E:" please inset disk etc.

The above message pops up on screen every time I launch Elements

davidw
What version Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?
From the mention of the issue, I suspect you are working with Premiere Elements 13/13.1.
Assuming Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
If so, delete or disable the OldFilm.AEX file.
Local Disk C
Program Files
Adobe
Adobe Premiere Elements 13
Plug-ins
Common
NewBlue
and in the NewBlue Folder is the OldFilm.AEX file that you delete or disable by renaming OldFilm.AEX to OldFilm.AEXOLD.
Please let us know if that worked for you.
Thank you.

This is the music store forum area. Perhpas you'd have better luck in the iPod forums, and post more detail about your iPod.

Vault Messages Won't Go away

Hello all,
I recently deleted all of my vaults. However whenever I fire up Aperture, it keeps showing the following message on the startup screen.
"Items not yet stored in a vault" It then lists the number of folders, pictures etc.
Aperture is probably thinking that there is still a vault. How do I make this message go away?
