Unknown Error (-69) Unable to write to disk

Hi
Has anyone received this error message when downloading to their IPOD Video.
I have both purchased music and my own music downloaded into my library, all the downloads appear to be complete and I can play them from the library. When I try to update the IPOD I get the error message "Unable to write to disk "ipod" unknown error (-69). On checking the IPOD it seems that I have some of the music ( i.e. half of a CD or purchased album)but not all of the tunes from an album.
I have tried to reinstall and restore the ipod and used both ITUNES and IPOd updaters. I would really appreciate some help
thanks for reading

  • Trying to install/format an INTERNAL hard drive using Disk Utility gives me "Error: -69760: Unable to write to the last block of the device".   Is that a hardware problem and what could be done about it?

    *** PLEASE NOTE*** - This is a query about an INTERNAL HDD not an external one. Thanks.
    My Mac is a late 2009 model and the current hard drive recently failed. So I bought a new one, exactly the same, albeit 750gb instead of 500gb. The HDD is a Seagate Momentus 7200. Before the my current drive failed I made a time machine back up to an external USB HDD. I've inserted the HDD into the bottom of my Mac, plugged in the USB and started my machine pressing the 'Option' ([ALT]) key. I go into Disk Utility to try and format the new HDD by creating a new partition but I keep getting the messages,
    "Error: -69760: Unable to write to the last block of the device"
    or
    "POSIX: could not allocate memory"
    This is actaully the third HDD I've tried. The first was another Seagate Momentus 7200 500gb, but this time it was a newer model (model number ended in 423AS instead of 420AS - the new one I am trying ends with 420AS, which is the same as the current HDD). I then tried a Western Digital drive but that one didn't even show up in DU. Forums and tech support are suggesting it's faults with the HDDs but surely not three in a row?
    Could this be an issue with another part of my Mac?
    Is there anything else I can do to format the HDD, have I missed a crucial step?

    Did you ever get a resolution to this issue?
    I am having that exact error with a new 512GB SSD from Crucial, in a 15" MBP mid-2010.
    I really wonder now if the stupid SATA cable could be bad - causing the initial SSD fail.  I am replacing it with the EXACT same drive, and getting that "last block" error when i partition in the GUI or from command-line.
    thanks!

  • Cause of "unable to write to disk error"

    Using a epson perfection v100 scanner and keep getting an unable to write to disk error after it  scan and will not copy.   Any ideas about what to try to fix this? thank you..
    p.s. using snow leopard and I have already tried to re-dowload software off the epson site.

    Have you tried...
    Trashing preferences?
    Run Disk Utility?
    Instead of control-clicking on the drive, try control-clicking on the Capture Scratch folder and the project Subfolder and changing permissions.

  • Can't add songs unless I restore the iPod. (unable to write to disk)

    iPod Shuffle 512
    Brand new XL SP2 machine with all windows updates
    The only way I can put new songs on my shuffle is if I (1) restore it, & (2) let it automatically fill. If I want specific songs to load I have to delete some of the songs that populated the playlist automatically & hurry up & add the desired songs to the ipods playlist because once it's done uploading it wont accept any more songs. It will give me that "Unable to write to disk" error. In a nutshell, the ipod will only upload during the initial session immediately after restoring.
    If I come back the next day or even just 2 minutes later wanting to add an additional song I have to start the process all over.
    This happened using the newest version of iTunes as well as an older version (about a year old) that I keep around because I know its stable & one of the updates in between caused my video podcasts to be choppy.
    Anything I can do or am I stuck?
    I knew I shoulda got a Mac!

    In my experince Mac is no better than PC, its all in the user and how much you know. I fix more Macs daily than PCs. Of course all the PC I work on I built myself... lets see you build your own Mac!

    Hi,
    This is developer from Autodesk. We get this compile error from time to time. This is a sporadic failure. We can't find any issue in our own project.
    vbc : error BC31019: Unable to write to output file 'D:\Revit\Dev32\RevitAdditions\Source\..\Intermediate\ReleaseWin32\VBNETSnippets\VBNETSnippets.dll': The specified image file did not contain a resource section.
    I find a help doc from the website to try some steps to solve this issue.
    Error ID: BC31019
    To correct this error
    Compile the program again to      see if the error recurs.
    If the error continues, save      your work and restart Visual Studio.
    If the error continues, restart      the computer.
    If the error recurs, reinstall      Visual Basic.
    If the error persists after      reinstallation, notify Microsoft Product Support Services.
    My question is what the root cause for this issue. Could you please give us some explanation where the issue should be,  VB compiler? .Net Framework?
    Visual Studio? Operating system?
    Thanks

  • My iPhone says it needs to be restored, but on connecting to iTunes i get unknown error, and unable to restore: any tips?

    On 2 occasions my iphone has come up with the message that it needs to be restored to factory settings, but on trying to do this, itunes displays the message that it is unable to restore phone due to unknown error.  Any tips?

    Unless you have a jailbroken phone that has altered the baseband, that usually a hardware failure, in which case you'll have to take it to the Apple store for evaluation.
