Motorola SLVR (L7): unable to read/write to disk

You may have received a defective TransFlash card with your SLVR, so you might go back to the place where you purchased it and see if they can exchange it for you.

This does not fix the problem... I have had the same thing happening and I went out to return mine for a new one. I tested it on the laptop the guy had at the cingular store and it worked like a charm. I bring it home only to find out it doesn't work on my computer... If you have two computers in the house I suggest trying another one and just sharing your music folder...

I kept getting the same thing with mind. I found that I have to VERY SLOWLY.
open itunes. plug in phone. drag and drop just one song at a time. If I try a whole cd or a playlist I get that messgage.
One at a time and do not drop antother until it says ready to disconnect. then drag your next.
I think it is nuts that it takes so much work to do this. I do not think they should have released this stuff yet if it is this tough. good luck

I am having the exact same problem with my SLVR i have done everything ten times over and still the same message appears when i go to transfer a song to my phone!!!!!!!!!!! This is SOOOO frusrating!!!!
i too have gone to the Cingular store and got a new phone and yet the problem is still there

Yes, I have the same problem with my Motorola SLVR. I simply am unable to add ANYTHING to the phone using XP Pro. iTunes v6.0.3.5 fails.

However - it WORKS like buttuh using my wife's MacOSX, latest version, using the USB cable. Doesnt help me though...so I have to sync with her Mac to have music on it.

I'm very annoyed.

DELL laptop Windows XP Pro

i getting the message that "some files or applications are not accessible" when i plug the USB port in. nothing at all coming up on itunes. followed all the steps several times. Help!

Just saw that iTunes has a new download, v6.0.4.2 and that did NOT solve the problem with adding songs to my SLVR phone!!!

Plus, SLVR keeps bugging out with my Bluetooth headset that was working perfectly with my older phone... ironically, the bluetooth headset is a Motorola product.

Grrrrr. This phone is cool, but *****.

DELL Inspiron 8600 Windows XP Pro

I get the same exact message! I tried the suggestion about dropping songs slowly into the phone individually, but I still get the message. I don't think it's my card b/c I have 14 songs already on there, but it won't let me download any more!! VERY frusterating!! Any ideas?

I spoke w/ Motorola support for itunes at 800-657-5778. They reformatted my transflash thing and then did a master reset...still NO SUCCESS!! They said the only thing left to do is to trade it back in for another slvr and see if that works!!! Weird though, b/c I could download 14 songs at first and then the unable to read/write msg. Now, I can't even drag-n-drop any of the original 14 songs!!!!

So, after talking with motorola (see above) their solution was to exchange my phone for a new one. So, I decided to use a different computer. When I used a newer laptop, it worked like a charm!! (see apple support for backing-up your music and do the same thing to transfer your wanted playlists) Maybe it won't work well with older Dell laptops (like mine - yr 2000).

I had the same problem with my SLVR and I was really upset because i got the cell phone mainly because it had MP3 on it. I still could not get my computer to accept the memory card through my cell phone, so i bought a SanDisk TransFlash Adapter as well as a memory card reader that plugs into my USB port. I am now able to put songs, ringtones, and graphics onto my memory card and then into my phone. Itunes on my phone still doesnt work! But I can still hear the songs by going to My Stuff> Sounds> Option Button> Switch Storage Device> Memory Card. I hope i helped!
