...says the disk couldnot be read from to? I have an ipod touch and eveytime i try to sync it i get a messege that says the disk couldnot be read from to. Whay would this happen and how do i fix it? I took my ipod to apple and they gave me a new one but i still have the same problem.
 
2 options:

option ONE:-

When you add songs to itunes you don't add the actual song - just a link to it's location. *The "!" means that that song is no longer findable . For example the memory stick has been removed. *To avoid this you need to do the following:-

In iTunes preferences set both *"let iTunes manage my music" And "iTunes keeps local copy in music folder " - the exact wording and location in preys will depend on version of iTunes you are running

Once you have done this, plug in your memory stick again and add the tracks again to
The library (this time the screen in itunes will say copying songs briefly).

Then to let iTunes manage your music select "consolidate library " from
Either the file or advanced menus again this depends on
The version of iTunes you are running .

Your music is now stored as links in the library plus the actual files are in
Your iTunes music folder and to be safe you should back up the contents of your iTunes folder on my music

Option TWO (most likely):-

or this because you are either having a driver conflict error as detailed in the apple help page:-

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for driver errors and*http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369 for USB power issues

or more likely its a USB power issue.Make sure you have a full power USB connection (many laptops and keyboard connectors only give 100mA max rather than the full 500mA, also do not connect via an unpowered hub either as this only PARTLY charges the ipod

connect it direct to the computer on a full power USB port or via a powered hub (mains transformer connected to it) and it should be OK.

Leave it charging on this for at least an hour before proceeding further.

make sure you have the latest itunes 8.1.0 (downloaded on your PC from www.apple.com/itunes/download then restart PC first)
and reset the ipod before connection (menu and centre key till screen blanks then connect once it lights up).

the say YES to the 'pair with this computer' Message
