When trying to update the songs on my iPod using iTunes a keep getting, Attempting to copy to the disk [ipods name] failed. an unknown error occoured (-69)

Anybody know what could be causing this and how i can fix it?

Sounds like its time to either:

(a) Update the iPod's Firmware with the latest updater
or
(b) erase and re-install the the iPod's operating system.

error -69 points to:

-69 badCksmErr addr mark checksum didn't check

Thanks terryj i did find the error codes but couldn't really make any sense out of it and how to solve the prolem, but the wierd thing was it seems to happens when i try to upload a certain song

A bad checksum happens because the device that
is being polled cannot properly " talk" at the moment,
and instead defaults to the error "bad checksum".
Could be that most likely it is a bad FW cable, but more often than not,
it is the FW port on the iPod that either needs to be reset
or updated via firmware to make it talk to the host device.

Don't fret it.
I've owned my iPod since 2002 ( a second gen 10GB)
and I've had to reformat it at least twice, to fix
a firewire issue.
it happens.
