Pattern errors

I have created a ball that is tangent to a surface. When I try to pattern it I get an error: "Geometry pattern results in disjoint bodies." I go back to the sketch and it is fully defined. I go back to the feature and it is fully defined. I am at my whits end with Solid Works. It seems that everything that I try to do I am stopped in my tracks by some bullshit thing like this.
