"unable to read or write to disk.."?

when i connect my ipod to my computer to put songs onto it, it acts like it is working and then a window pops up that says something about not being able to read or write to the disk. i've upgraded the software and reset my ipod, but still nothing.. plus now my ipod is completely empty.. and i've had it for over a year so the warranty is expired..

Does the message indicate any sort of "data error?" I don't remember how the Mac represents a data error, but my best guess is, sadly, a faulty hard drive. The Mini's hard drive is a tiny 1-inch Microdrive, which can be rather fragile especially if it's knocked around while it's spinning. You might try a disk utility that can perform a surface scan of th drive to see if this is the case; if it is, there's really no choice but to send it in for repair or get a buddy who's REALLY handy to put a new drive in. (mind you, it's NOT EASY!)

Music Downloads - unable to read or write to disk.

Hi, I'm new to iPods, and when I try to download music
I get the message Unable to update iPod, unable to read / write to disk....
Originally I had no problems now unable to download more than one song at a time, and only the manually... it's taking ages...
Does anyone have any ideas? I've restored, reset everything and downloaded the latest software....

Hi,
Unless you are using OCR (optical character recognition) software when doing the scan, the result of scanning a document is only an image, a picture of the document. Since you only have a picture of the document at this point, the only thing that you can do with it in Word is to insert the image into the document. As an image, you won't be able to edit or search the text that appears in the image. You need to run OCR software to examine the image and convert the images of the characters into editable text. If you are already using OCR software, reply back and let me know which application you are using, and I'll try to help you further.
Hope this helps,

Unable to sync - getting error message unable to read or write to disk

Please help! I got this ipod for christmas and am unable to sync it. I have already restored factory settings, recovered it, restarted computer, went to hardware device manager and it says device is working properly - what do I do now?

Are you getting this exact text when you attempt to sync your iPod?:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "------" failed. Disk cannot be read from or written to."
If so, try looking through this article about that issue:

"Can't Read Or Write to disk" Video Won't Transfer To Ipod

I have transfered videos to my ipod in the past but I have two tv shows from the Itunes story that won't transfer.
They are in the correct mpeg 4 whatever format. My itunes is the most resent version, but for some reason I keep getting the same error.
"Cannot Read Or Write To Disk".
HELP??!!
Windows XP

I've got this problem too. My 5g iPod 30gig syncs after about 3 minutes with iTunes then after loading songs and videos after 10 minutes i get the same message your getting - "Can't Read Or Write to disk". I think theres some kind of USB2 conflict or something. All my other USB devices work fine. All my drivers and software is up-to-date.

Ipod will sync up once then says cannot read or write to disk.

Is this normal? The IPOD shows up in Itunes after the first sync but when I go and try to update the ipod again it says it cannot read or write to disk. Tech support says this is normal but it does not make any sense as the IPOD still shows up in Itunes.

the IPOd will sync up when I fiorst plug it in. the problem is when it is finished, Itunes says ipod update complete you can disconnect. I leave it connected, and if I try to update the ipod again after I download something or whatever into Itunes it comes back with the cannot read from or write to disk. I can unplug it and plug it back in and it work sfine. There is something with the software I guess that is not staying connected with the hardware after the first sync.

OBIEE Writeback error - The system is unable to read the Write Back Templat

Hi all,
I'm trying to set up the write back feature for one of the reports. All the set up up including XML file in the custommessage folder is done.Ensured the webmessage name tag value (pmet_update) is same as the one used in the report write back template value etc.
Also the server is restarted after the latest XML file(as shown below) is copied after all type of debugging with similar threads on this matter.
But when i click on the update button in the report (button is highlighted), i'm getting the error
"The system is unable to read the Write Back Template 'pmet_update'. Please contact your system administrator."
here is the xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1">
<WebMessageTable lang="en-us" system="WriteBack" table="Messages">
<WebMessage name="pmet_update">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="PMTCOG">
<insert></insert>
<update> UPDATE XREF_PMET_URL SET URL= '@{c1}' WHERE API='@{c0}'</update>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>
Could you please help?

Hi,
I think that you have to spacify also an SQL statement for the update tag, for example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WebMessageTables xmlns:sawm="com.siebel.analytics.web/message/v1">
<WebMessageTable lang="en-us" system="WriteBack" table="Messages">
<WebMessage name="pmet_update">
<XML>
<writeBack connectionPool="PMTCOG">
<insert> select null from dual</insert>
<update> UPDATE XREF_PMET_URL SET URL= '@{c1}' WHERE API='@{c0}'</update>
</writeBack>
</XML>
</WebMessage>
</WebMessageTable>
</WebMessageTables>
The witeback wants for both the tags (<insert></insert> and <update></update>) an SQL Statement.
For me it works.
Let me know!

10g - write back - The system is unable to read the Write Back Template

hi,experts,
I enabled write back on a report.
the button (write back) is enabled (not grey)
but when I click the button, there is a message
The system is unable to read the Write Back Template 'UPDATETESTWRITEBACK'. Please contact your system administrator.
I put UPDATETESTWRITEBACK.XML in C:\OracleBI\web\msgdb\customMessages
the syntax in the xml is correct.
what is the result? any log to check?

Its not mandatory to have the same template name as your xml file name.
But the <WebMessage name= "UPDATETESTWRITEBACK"> should be same what the templetae you are using in the webcat.
Please find sampel xml which can have any xyz name in the folder "OracleBIData\web\msgdb\customMessages'
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

Unable to read task sequence configuration disk

Target Server is an HP ProLiant BL460c G5
I'm trying to load my reference iso via the iLO connection, mounting the image to the CD drive. I used the same process to create the WIM file on my Source Server and it worked fine. I boot from the CD, it loads windows files, then comes up to
the SCCM screen with the error "Unable to read task sequence configuration disk."
Any ideas what's going on?

In my case I had the same error using SCCM boot media in a USB 3.0 port. Solution was here to use a USB 2.0 port to solve it.
Maybe this will help you:

RE: CD/DVD Unable to read or write -Thinkpad z60 m

My operating system is Windows 7 my CD/ DVD ROM does not read nor writes any type of media, I have exhausted and implemented all the possible solutions I've gotten from the different forums but with no success. I ran the hardware test by PC Doctor on the Thinkvantage Toolbox and I the following test result : Unable to start the drive - SCSI Error 0904H. Does anybody have any solution for this problem?
Thank you
Maghid49

To malossi:
You dont have the similar problem because the user above cannot read and burn ONLY the original DVD movies!
> i am able to boot from dvd, read dvd data, burn cd but, unable to read or burn film data (original);
In your case possibly the drive is dead or not compatible with the media (but I dont think so).
Check this Microsoft site for some general ideas:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321641/en-us
I have read also that someone was having this problem, and found that going into hardware profiles for the CD Rom that wasn't reading, clicking on the advanced tab, and selecting "PIO only" instead of "DMA if Available" worked in win XP sp2. Maybe you will try these.

Macbook can't "read or write to disk" of ipod

Just bought a new 30GB 5th Gen. ipod and loaded half of my music/photos onto it. Now it gives an error message every time I try to sync new albums about not being able to read or write to the ipod. Any suggestions? The updater download didn't seem to change anything.

See this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301267.

"cannot read or write to disk" when transferring itunes TV shows to iPod

I have downloaded two TV shows from iTunes, but cannot get them transferred to my iPod. When I click "Update iPod," with one of the shows selected, it will begin to download to the iPod and get ALMOST to the point of finishing, and then I will get an error message stating that the iPod can't be read or written to. At first I thought I just had a corrupted video file (although it plays fine on my computer), so I downloaded a second TV show. Same thing. I have downloaded some music vidoes from iTunes, and they transfer perfectly to my iPod. I've noticed that since I downloaded the latest iPod updater and version of iTunes, that I've had the same problem getting a few songs to transfer to my iPod from CDs as well, with the can't read or write error. This only happens to maybe one song out of thirty, but it is still annoying. Maybe it is the updater??
If anyone out there can help me, I would really appreciate it since I'm dying to watch these shows on my iPod! Thanks in advance!!
Windows XP

I did the 5 R's last night, and now my iPod won't update any songs. The iPod is showing up in iTunes, but the "Update iPod" option is grayed out. Also, before when I had installed my iPod, it appeared in iTunes with my name...now it just says IPOD. I assume that's because it's back to the factory settings, but thought it was odd. (Yes, I know how to rename it.)
Actually, after I ran the iPod updater to completely restore my iPod, it sat there frozen for hours with "Do Not Disconnect" on the screen, NOT flashing. Even after I disconnected the iPod (I had to turn off the computer completely to do this; otherwise, the USB port refused to stop running), the message just sat there. I had to reset it to get it to the point where I could select my language.
Any suggestions? I'm considering just wiping out everything (backing up my files, natch) and starting over with the CD that came with the iPod in the first place.
