Ipod Error Delayed Write Failed
Delayed Write Failed
Windows was unable to save all the data for the file x. The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere.
The iPod would lockup and I'd have to reset it to get it to work again. After some research I found the cause: Write Caching was disabled on my hard disks. Because iTunes tries to push as much data as possible as quickly as possible, Windows was unable to keep up, resulting in the error. To enable Write Caching on your hard disks: Start > Control Panel > System > Device Manager > Disk Drives > Properties > Policies > Enable Disk Caching Note that this option was unavailable to me (grayed out), and after some research I realized it was because I had the Intel Application Accelerator installed, which turns OFF write caching and prevents you from enabling it. So after a quick uninstall of Intel Application Accelerator and a quick reboot, I was able to enable Write Caching on my hard disks, and now the error is gone and my iPod is updating as expected.

I have a disabled policies tab and Intel Application Accelerator installed, and disk caching was permanently fixed to ON, the opposite of what you indicated. Disk caching can improve performance maginally; therefore, it makes more sense that it would lock the policies tab with disk caching enabled, if indeed that is what locked the page. I'll have to uninstall IAA and see what happens though. Thanks. Tim M. says: June 19, 2005 at 6:33 am Indeed, Intel Application Accelerator does remove the "enable write caching on the disk" check box just below the two removable drive options above it. Those two "removable drive" options are naturally"greyed out" because hard drives are by convention not "removable ." The confusion arises when IAA is already installed, and the policies page only shows two disabled options with "optimize for performance" ticked on. One can easily and incorrectly think that the disk caching has been permanently enabled. Perhaps Microsoft can update the policies page with this information to prevent this annoyance for its customers. I would be interested in knowing

This will hopefully conjure up a greyish looking ui, which is "Disk Mode." If your iPod can get into this mode, you should be in the clear, as it means the hard drive has some semblance of life left in it. If you can get to this mode, try plugging it in. Don't get discouraged if it doesn't work right away, Disk Mode can be fickle. If it happens to recognize in iTunes, restore! Otherwise, 30gb hard drives for this model are available for ~30 USD on eBay. cheers! -tabormeister Was this answer helpful?
