Unable to transfer pix from computer to iPod

When I try to download photos from my iPod to my computer (Windows XP)I get the following message: "The iPod 'My name' cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to." I have no problems with music, podcasts, video etc., just photographs. The iPod is newest generation, 80Gb, bought just two months ago, and with 70Gb free space. Can anybody help?

okay, that's sounding like you might have a corrupt
photo cache. see:
"Disk cannot be read from or written to" when
syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when
updating or restoring iPod
Photo Sync creates iPod photo Cache
if you delete the existing photo cache, does the
photo sync start going through properly for you?
Thanks, b noir. Tried that but it still does not work. I do not understand why podcasts, music and video will transfer to my iPod and photographs won't. If anyone elese has any suggestions, I'd be delighted to hear them. I even tries restoring the iPod in desperation, but that did not work either. The iPod would not restore: I got an error message.

Why am I unable to transfer files from computer to external hard drive?

I am unable to transfer files to an exteral hard drive, as the computer is not allowing me to drag the files across to either the icon on the desktop or in Finder - I have 3 different hard drives (including an Apple time capsule) and none of these is allowing transfer. I'm using version OS X 10.6.8. Any ideas?

Besides the TC, what format are the externals?
Fo a Get Info on the External drives, what rights do you have?

Well since your getting the "Sad ipod" face, you may have to sent it in for repair. That said, the "iTUnesDB is corrupt" message is covered here along with ways to have windows format the ipod (Link Below)
Now if you do have to format the ipod with windows, when windows is done YOU HAVE TO RESTORE IT WITH THE IPOD UPDATER BEFORE LOADING IT WITH ITUNES!!!!

If you put the ipod in "Disk Mode" like the instructions say, and you can't get it to show in windows, you will have to disable the "iPodservice.exe" in task manager, format with windows THEN RESTART THE PC so the ipodservice is running again and you can restore it with the ipod updater

Transfer songs from computer to iPod

Hey,
I know alot of users like myself have lost their music files from their computer but still have them on their iPod. Unfortuantly, alot of these questions have not been answered because it is impossible to transfer songs to iPod to computer with iTunes only. But, that does not mean it is absolutly impossible to recover the data. There is a software out called Pod Rescue, that can help with this problem.
Just sharing the luck!

Unable to transfer music from coputer to ipod

help!
i wnat to synch the musin fron ituens to my ipod shuffle.
and i cannot!
tks,
s.

I fixed mine! let me tell you what I did -- i was searching more discussions and somebody had on there -- i went to start, then programs, then ipod, then ipod updater ((the newest one )). I think clicked restore (although, this deletes everything on your ipod, that wasn't a concern for me because somehow my entire ipod got deleted the other night!) and it restored it to factory settings. Then i went to Itunes and transferred the songs. If that doesnt work another person told me that your ipod drive (mine was E:) might be networked to another network drive so i changed it by going to control panel and then clicked on "switch to classic view" on the left hand side. THen i clicked on administrative tools, followed by computer management. On the left hand side at the bottom there was something called disk management, click on it then right click on your ipod drive and say change drive .Then change it to a drive that won't be associated with another one ( i chose s) and thats what got my ipod back! sorry this is so long and i hope it helps you!

Please Help: Unable To Transfer Songs from Itunes To Ipod

I've been plagued with problems every since Thursday when I was attempting to put new songs on my iPod. I got the dreaded sad face with the go to apple support site link. I've did the 5 R's but still no luck. I even reformatted it cause at one point in time I got a pop up telling me that the drive needed to be formatted. Well after doing this and updating it finally appeared to be operating correctly. I was able to load roughly three cd's on it before it went screwy again. I've ended up with the monochrome apple display and then the stupid disk mode do not disconnect one too. I've finally gotten it as of this morning to show up normal but now as soon as I connect my iPod to iTunes I get this pop up error

Then if I attempt to load any songs it appears to try it but then it hangs up and I get this message.

Can't Transfer ANYTHING from ITunes to IPod

just in the last week or so i've been unable to transfer anything from itunes to my ipod. this includes podcasts and purchased music. i have no idea what the problem is. the other night i left the two to sync for at least 10 hours and when i checked it the next morning it was barely halfway through the first import. i also try to eject my ipod and my comp freezes and im forced to turn off my comp and restart my frozen ipod. (it stays in the 'do not disconnect' stage) i am running itunes 6, but this problem just started recently. i havent been able to update my ipod or load any new podcasts in forever, please help!!

Okay, now I'm really unhappy. Since my last post a few days ago, I bit the bullet (really, I just needed the excuse) and bought a brand new 60 GB 5G video ipod. Connects via USB (annoying, but at least we are on completely different set of ports from the firewire), and guess what? THE EXACT SAME BEHAVIOR! All 8+ GB of my purchased music (and videos) does not transfer. The same error message about the iPod software being too old. This is truly ridiculous.
My machine checks out okay with Diskwarrior, I've run Applejack repeatedly to fix permissions, clear the caches, check preference files, etc., cleared the pram, and have reset the machine via open firmware. I'm exasperated to say the least. I've even de- and re-authorized the computer for the music store.
Now to add some complexity to this mess, my subscribed podcasts DO transfer over. Is this a DRM issue? Something about iTunes is wonky here. I'll keep poking around, but I'm having a very hard time with this being acknowledged as a problem. For many people, including me, this has been going on for several months.

I am unable to transfer my playlist to my Ipod in the new version of Itunes.

Since downloading the new Itunes I am unable to transfer my playlist to my Ipod.
I have tried dragging individual tracks but it will not let me load anything.
The symbol for my Ipod is no longer in the left column of my screen but at the top right hand corner.
Can you help please.

I also found that my previously paired 1st Gen Apple TV did not show up at all in itunes, after updating to version 11.
I basically resolved this by re-pairing it.
There may be less drastic steps that can be taken? But I found removing and then re-adding the pairing did the trick.
A bit arduous I suppose... effectively a minor reset of sorts... but my resolution steps were:
1) Removing the itunes sync account (at top) from the Settings->Computers screen on the 1st Gen Apple TV.
This took a while, and some faith, as it then removed all synched content from the Apple TV, which took several minutes... and I wasn't convinced I'd be able to then restore the sync.
2) After that process completed, I then clicked the option to add (re-add) the itunes sync account, on the Apple TV, noted the new code, went back to itunes (11.0.5), found the now unpaired Apple TV (that was now showing up again) in the left hand "Devices" list, and clicked "Setup", and then entered the new pairing code.
This let me set up synching again (although I sync the majority of my library content, in fact I set it up with the "Custom Sync" option) ...and so far, so good. It is now synching my purchases from the Apple TV into itunes, and vice versa, as it was before.
Hope this info helps someone else with a 1st Gen Apple TV...

How do i transfer music from my old ipod, thats not authorized on my laptop, to my new ipod?

if you bought from Apple see this
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
if from 3rd party you have to put songs on computer and sync from itunes. Apple doesnt support syncing from ios to itunes so you will have to already have the songs on pc.
Peace, Clyde

hi i just got a 6th generation nano and im trying to transfer music from my old ipod which a 3rd generation ipod can someone help?plz thankz

There is no way to transfer ipod-to-ipod. Look for a 3rd party program, such as Yamipod, that will let you pull the music from your old iPod to your computer.
You really should be backing up your data on your computer.
