Many users face this problem in their daily life when they are transferring data/media from their smartphones, cameras, tablets, USB’s, or even transferring data from one hard drive to another. This is a very common problem so nothing to worry about. Take a look at the steps listed below.
1. Changing the Transfer to Mac or PC Settings (only for iPhones)
If you are getting this error while transferring files/photos from an iPhone to the computer you will have to change some settings on your iPhone to allow this transfer otherwise it won’t work smoothly and sometimes it can also be interrupted in the middle of the transfer which can corrupt the data. Follow these steps if you want to fix that setting:-
2. Reconnecting and Trying another USB Port
This error might occur if there is an improper connection between the USB storage and your computer. It is possible that the connector is not properly connected to the port or the cable you are using is defective. You can try reconnecting the device and if you are using a cable, make sure that the cable isn’t defective and readily supports data transfer. Try using a different cable and also try plugging your device into another USB port.
If you have other USB devices connected to your computer, remove all of them. In one case the error popped up and after disconnected a joystick, it vanished automatically and the transfer was successful. Try out all possibilities before proceeding as this is the main troubleshooting step.
3. Restarting Computer
In many numerous cases, restarting the computer fixed the problem for many users. It is possible that there are some modules with incorrect configurations or just that your computer needs a restart after installing some programs. In some cases like Windows Update, a restart is essential as it implements the changes required. Restart your computer properly and make sure that the device isn’t connected. After the computer has properly restarted, connect your device and check if the problem got fixed.
4. Formatting your Device
This error also occurs for many USB devices if your device isn’t formatted properly. Incorrect formatting means that the sectors/blocks are not properly allocated in your storage device and this might be the cause of the error.
5. Running SFC and DISM Commands
It is also the possibility that there are some corrupt files present on your computer which are leading to this error. For this, we can try running SFC and if there are errors present, run the DISM command. System File Checker (SFC) is a utility present in Microsoft Windows which allows the users to scan their computers for corrupt files in their operating system and is a very useful tool for diagnosing the problem and checking if any problem is due to corrupt files in windows. We can try running SFC and see if our problem gets solved. You will get one of the three responses when running SFC.
Windows didn’t find any integrity violationsWindows Resource Protection found corrupt files and repaired themWindows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some (or all) of them
If an error was detected and was fixed using the above methods, restart your computer and check if the error goes away.
6. Updating Device Drivers
This error might also be appearing because your device drivers are not up to date and the computer is having difficulty in transferring data. In this case, you can try updating the device drivers and check if the problem gets solved. There are two ways to update the drivers: automatically and manually. In the automatic method, you select the first option when the choice comes. Here you don’t have to do anything and Windows will automatically search for the best driver out there and install it on your computer. If you are having no luck updating the drivers automatically, you can head over to your manufacturer’s website, download the required drivers and update them manually. Below is the method on how to update them manually.
