"Unable to read from or write to your player" Zen 1

I have a new Creative Zen 6G and am using Windows Vista. While using the Creative Media Organizer, I tried to create a new playlist. The player shows all my folders, and when I try to open the folder that contains the majority of my music, the message "Unable to read from or write to your player" appears. Does anyone know what this message means or what I have to do to fix it's Thank you-Melissa

Have you tried adding from a folder rather than iPhoto to see if that makes a difference? Create a folder on your hard drive called called "iPod Photos" or something similar and drag the photos you want on your iPod to it. Under the photo preferences for the iPod, point iTunes to "synchronize photos from" and choose to update from your new folder.

"Unable to read from or write to your play

When I go to create a playlist with the music that is already on my Zen, this pops up. Why isnt it working? Its probably something really simple that I overlooked... but Im stumped. I came here as a last resort

I received this same message and came on here to find some help. I am using the new Creative Zen, 6 gig.
I am using a Windows Vista computer.
When the player is docked and I am using the Zen Media Explorer, I go to "create playlists"
The player loads, I can see all of my files and most of my music on the creative playlist wizard. I clicked on one file (containing most of my music) and this message pops up. "Unable to read from or write to your player"
Any suggestions?

Zen - Can't Read from or Write to Your Pla

I recently bought a Creative Zen and had no problems with the software until recently one day when I was trying to work with a playlist, it said it could not read from or write to my player. I tried a different computer with a different operating system, installed the playlist manager disk on that computer, and got the same result.
Additionally, when I try to record something, the player freezes up. However, the big issue for me is not being able to manage my playlists at all. I can still download books and tunes and get updates from Creative, so that's not the problem.
Any help? I looked in the FAQ for this, but the link is broken.

"unable to read from or write to drive" message when trying to add pictures

Unable to Read from or Write to Disk

What exactly does that mean? And why is it all of the sudden I cannot add podcasts or tv shows to my Ipod? It just started.
I am technologically challenged, please give easy directions.
Gateway Windows XP

From reading these boards, I am not the only one having this problem. The referred to article did not apply to my problem. My computer was up-to-date, I had added no software, I hadn't added any new hardware, the cables were the same and functioning.
This is what I did. I plugged in my I-pod with "My Computer" screen open, when the icon appeared showing the removable disk was being read (contrary to I-tunes assertions that my I-pod wasn't viable)I clicked on that to see the stats on my I-pod. But, almost immediately, I-pod began downloading all of the new items I needed, pocasts and songs purchased.
I have one more I-pod to fix, I am hopeful this will work again.

How to read from and write into the same file from multiple threads?

I need to read from and write into a same file multiple threads.
How can we do that without any data contamination.
Can u please provide coding for this type of task.
Thanks in advance.

Assuming you are using RandomAccessFile, you can use the locking functionality in the Java NIO library to lock sections of a file that you are reading/writing from each thread (or process).
If you can't use NIO, and all your threads are in the same application, you can create your own in-process locking mechanism that each thread uses prior to accessing the file. That would take some development, and the OS already has the capability, so using NIO is the best way to go if you can use JDK 1.4 or higher.

Zen Xtra (Nomad) - Unable to read from device error (have tried everythi

Recently, I've been having problems with my Creative Zen Xtra Nomad mp3 player. One day it started freezing and lagging massi'vely when I would enter nomad explorer. Now it's virtually impossible to drag and drop something from nomad explorer to my computer or vise versa (keep getting the unable to read from device error). However, sometimes I am able to get an mp3 or two after about 5 minutes of transfer time.
I have no idea why it is doing this. One day I'm transferring my data back and forth with no problem, and the very next day I am getting this freezing, lagging, and errors when trying to transfer. The only thing that changed was me formatting my computer in between it working and it not working, but I did reinstall the driver and nomad explorer once I formatted (I'm also using the same USB 2.0 cable, but it worked fine the day before, so I am pretty sure that's not part of the problem). I was using the mp3 player to store about 0 GB worth of data for when I formatted, and now I'm unable to retrieve virtually any of it. I've tried everything under the PC Connectivity link short of formatting the mp3 hard dri've (and that is not an option because I need the files). I took it to a friends house to try on his computer, but it acted the same way. I'm completely stumped. Is there anything I haven't ruled out? Also, I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2, and I was using SP2 before the format as well if that has any relevance.
Please let me know if I've left out any important information relevant to this issue. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Edit: I'm having the exact problem as this guy, but I didn't seem to find any answers on his thread.

Never use MP3 players to store important data, or as a single point of storage for any data (that includes keeping a backup of the player's audio tracks). You can have problems like this with accessing the data, as well as simply dropping the player and losing the lot.
There are a couple of methods I've seen that have worked to retrieve data:
. Driver update - either update to the latest drivers, or nonsensically downgrade to the drivers that come on the install CD.
2. Notmad Explorer - use the Xtreamer function in Notmad Explorer's trial version (which is free) to access the data and download it. It will be tedious, because I assume you have to download one file at a time.
As for your general problem, I would try using Creative's MediaSource instead of Nomad Explorer to access the player (people generally don't have good experiences with Nomad Explorer).
Also make sure you download the latest versions of the drivers (taking above into account), MediaSource, and the MediaSource plugin from Nomadworld.com downloads.
Once you have the data off (hopefully!) you might simply want to reformat it if none of the above hel

Unable to read from Java MQ Queue in Unix

Hi,
I developed a small application that uses a scheduler as an input to a jcd. Once invoked, the jcd reads from a Java MQ queue and writes the result to the log.
I developed the application on CAPS 6 in Solaris 10.
We are however unable to read from the queue in Unix. The code returns an empty queue, even though the queue does have messages in it. Below is the code in the jcd used to read from the queue:
int recCount = 0;
+while (true) {+
com.stc.connectors.jms.Message txtMsg = JMS_1.receiveNoWait();
+// break out of loop, if no more messages+
+if (txtMsg == null) {+
logger.info( "Record Count is :: " recCount );+
break;
+}+
recCount+;+
+}+
The same project, imported into CAPS 6 on a Windows platform, works without issue.
Has anyone experienced compatability issues like this with Java MQ between Windows and Unix?
Adt

This is probably coz of the JMS header.
Try setting MQJMS_CLIENT_NONJMS_MQ as the target client and also try retrieving the message as ByteStream rather than TextMessage.

Unable to read from Jukebox Need Urgent he

Need help, fast, Only got and a half day left to get my Creative Zen Touch to work, I have tons of important files in it and I need it badly!I'v been using my Zen touch as a storage device like a USB or sumthin, newaiz, I just upgraded the firmware to .0.03, from .00.06 to .0.03 to be more detailed. I have read some other posts relating to this kind of matter, I tried the ... Disc Clean Up solution, downloading the latest software except those CD burners program, I uninstalled all of my Creative Programs and installed an older version of the program and still didnt work then I upgraded those program and still wont work. Went to read the FAQs, couldnt find any answers. Can anyone please give me a useful response? I need it badly Please be fully detailed, I am not very familiar with shortcut details. Thanks

Sorry this is not an answer but I just posted this on the European boards and it might make solving this problem a bit easier:
Player: Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 30GB
Firmware: .20.08
Explorer: 3.0.0
Driver: .26.02
OS: XP SP2 updated
MB: MSI K8Neo Platinum (MS-7030) (AwardBIOS 6.00PG)
Processor: AMD Athlon64 3200+
Memory: GB Patriot 3200 DDR
Video: ATI Radeon 9600 Pro (DNA 3.4.4.) (Directx 9.0c)
Sound: Audigy Gamer (03030 driver)
HD: Maxtor 6Y60MO (60GB)
So I made the mistake of using my mp3 player as the sole backup device for 30 Gigs of my music. I used the motherboards included highspeed USB port by the way. So now that I have reformatted and reinstalled everything I try and copy it all back from the Data Library section of my player using Nomad Explorer and end up waiting a few minutes while the software decideds if it will freeze or not before ending up with an error of: "unable to read from jukebox device"
This is MOST DISTRESSING, I would really appreciate more help than the other 2 people who posted this problem got (read: none). So if anyone has any ideas besides reinstall nomad explorer (which I did) then I am all eyes.
Thank you for your time and help.

Managed Metadata (Failed to read from or write to database. Refresh and try again. If the problem persists, please contact the administrator)

When creating a new site column of the managed meta data type in SharePoint2010, and you select "customize your term set", you are presented with one of the following errors:
- This operation cannot be completed. The term store may be unavailable.
- Failed to read from or write to database. Refresh and try again. If the problem persists, please contact the administrator

Hi,
I have been facing the same issue, however managed to resolve it.
This is due to the uncommitted statements. From Powershell try running the following script
#Connect to Central Admin, Replace the url with the environment specific URL
$taxonomySite = get-SPSite http://centraladmin:40000
#Connect to Term Store in the Managed Metadata Service Application, Ensure you put the right Metadate service application name
$taxonomySession = Get-SPTaxonomySession -site $taxonomySite
$termStore = $taxonomySession.TermStores["Managed Metadata Service"]
write-host "Connection made with term store -"$termStore.Name
#Connect to the Group and Term Set
$termStore.RollbackAll()
Hope it would help

"Can't read from or write to disk...." iPod error

I recently switched from my old PowerBook G4 (running Leopard 10.5.2) to a newer MacBook Pro (running Leopard 10.5.5). I migrated my account and permissions from the PB to the MacBook Pro, and everything is working just fine except for iTunes (version 8.0.2) and my older 160 GB iPod Classic (running 1.1.2).
NOTE: THE VERSION OF iTunes ON THE PB WAS VERSION 8.0.1.
Since the migration, I've been getting this "can't read from or write to disk..." error whenever I attempt to sync my iPod to iTunes. Previously, I'd never had any problems. I have tried to restore the iPod using iTunes - didn't work. I have tried different USB to dock connector cables - didn't work. I have even tried completely re-formatting the iPod using Disk Utility - didn't work. Everytime I begin syncing the iPod, it starts out just fine. At varying degrees of completion it ALWAYS fails with the same error.
I had an idea. I tried syncing the iPod to a different computer - my G5 4 x 2.5 GHz (running Leopard 10.5.5) with iTunes (version 8.0.2). I still got the same error. I haven't dropped it, submerged it in water or done anything to it that would otherwise compromise its functionality. So, I'm at a loss.
PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!
Does anyone have any other suggestions? - OTHER THAN BUYING A NEW IPOD

UPDATE:
OK, after the visit to my Genius Bar; I thought of a variable that wasn't previously considered. Because their transfer of media was successful without the slightest hitch, I had to figure out something else.
Everytime I had tried to sync the iPod with my various Macs, I was using the same process. Since all of my music and movies "live" on an external 500 GB drive, I was attempting to use that same drive whenever I would try to sync. It occurred to me that possibly the failing was in the drive and not the iPod.
I have part of that library on a Power Mac G4 867 DP (running 10.4.9). I updated the iTunes on that machine to 8.0.2, connected the iPod and made a successful transfer of a large amount of media!
My only problem now is that I can't figure out how to get the 500 GB drive to stop hanging on transfer and update of my Genius information. The drive just completely stalls and I get the spinning wheel from iTunes and the application ceases to respond. When I force quit iTunes, the drive recovers fine. I don't have any problems transferring data to and from it and Disk Utility reports that the drive is healthy.
I have tried re-installing iTunes on all affected Macs - didn't help. I believe my problem may exist in the iTunes Library file or in the associated .xml document. My only concern is that if I do a completely fresh install of iTunes where those files would be re-created, I would lose all of my play and ratings data as well as the information about when my files were added. On a related note, when playing the music from this drive through iTunes. I don't have any issues at all.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Sql loader unable to read from pipe

Hi All:
I'm using named pipe along with Oracle SQL*Loader to load some 20 millions rows into database.
The source of the pipe is from a Java application which write to the pipe using simple FileOutputStream.
It can be observed that the Oracle SQL*Loader need to wait a lot on the Java application to produce enough data for loading.
The waiting is fine. However, the Oracle SQL*Loader always exist after loading about 1 million rows with output like:
SQL*Loader-501: Unable to read file (upipe.dat)
SQL*Loader-560: error reading file
SQL*Loader-2026: the load was aborted because SQL Loader cannot continue.
And in this case, the Java will throw IOException with information:
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Broken pipe
at java.io.FileOutputStream.writeBytes(Native Method)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.write(FileOutputStream.java:284)
It runs on Linux environment with 11g database.
Any idea why this will happen?

Unable to read from .csv having field in double quotes

Hi to all,
I am trying to reading data from .csv file using JDBC it was reading perfectly when fields are without quotes
i.e. Field1 and unable to read with filedname as "Field" instead giving Exception Column Not Found, please help me out with this.
Expecting your responses in this matter.
Thanks in advance.
khiz_eng

So you really read the csv (ASCII) file over JDBC?
Well, for DSNless connection there's a simple trick:
1) configure a DSN exactly like your actual (system or user DSN), but as a file DSN.
This can't be used for JDBC conections, but it contains all the params in a very clear format which you have to set for your JDBC connection just with the same values.
2) Code your connect string:Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:odbc:Driver=valueForDriverInFileDSN;Database=valueForDatabaseInFileDSN", user, pw );Look, if you succeed this way.
If not, please post:
* your connect string
* the DBException's informations
* the content of your FileDSN file
