Mass Storage Device Drivers have been corrupted itunes 7.0.2 cant fix it

My ipods mass storage device drivers have been corrupted (Device cannot be started Code 10). Itunes 7.0.2 cant fix it. Im not willing to uninstall itunes and reinstall it to fix problem. I have 2 librarys on my hard drive with the guts of 120g of tunes/vids i know i wont lose the data but just dont want to mess with it. Is there any other way to fix the corrupted driver? Itunes 7 is great but they really should have the ipods driver seperate

I have uninstalled itunes 7.0.2 and installed the default itunes 6 software and ipod software then i updated to 7.0.2 and still same problem. Obviously the corruption is Windows related, but still cant work out the problem

Apple's Core Audio drivers have been corrupted?

Since upgrading to Leopard, my Alesis USB Multimix8 mixer has been increasingly getting more and more static output and has become about useless. After trying everything I could think of, I wrote to Alesis and this is what their support said...
"With Apple’s latest updated OS Leopard, it seems Apple’s Core Audio drivers have been corrupted and affects many class compliant devices such as the Multimix 8 USB which relies on these drivers. Until Apple addresses this with a fix, the best workaround is to back-down to 10.4.10, especially if this will be used in a professional studio."
Does this sound correct to anyone? Is theAudio Core drivers that bad on Leopard and is this something that Apple even plans to address?
Thanks!

Hi, everyone.
Alesis is VERY quick to point the finger at Apple for all their woes, but after my last experience, I'm thinking this is Alesis' problem.
At one time I was running my Alesis MultiMix8 FireWire and getting constant kernel panics while working on audio and video deadlines. As this was the famed 8-core (rolling off the assembly lines in May and all that) I was banging my head against the wall. It finally came down to me bringing in all of my office into Apple's Genius Bar at Tysons Corner, VA and trying to duplicate the occurrence.
The culprit was the Alesis driver.
When I upgraded to Leopard and the new Alesis FireWire driver, I have encountered no KPs or odd audio issues. Confident, I decided to try out the Alesis iMultiMix8 USB for the Second Edition of Podcasting for Dummies. I got a high-pitched whine/static when I tried working with the audio mixing between iPod and mixer. I returned the mixer and exchanged it for another one. Same problem. I then went and tested the iMultiMix on my PowerBook G4 running 10.4.11. Problem still existed. I wrote to Alesis and told them about the iMultiMix, asking them if this was a common issue.
No response.
While Leopard has solved the issues of the KP and continues to perform like a champ, I have been talking to other friends working on both 10.5 and 10.4 having issues with Alesis mixers and USB-powered pre-amps. It sounds less of an Apple issue and more of an Alesis issue.
I think all we can do is wait for Alesis to resolve the problem they are failing to acknowledge is theirs. Not much of an answer, but apparently this the way things appear to be.

Windows Drivers cannot view Blackberry as a mass storage device

Hello!
I had a hard time finding the right category to post this question to so pardon me if it has been misplaced.
I have a rather pressing issue with my Blackberry Curve 9300 for a few months now. I have scoured a number of fourms (including this one!) and discovered similar issues with other Blackberry curve owners. Unfortunately, none of their solutions seemed to solve my problem.
Here is the issue:
I have a computer that is running Windows 7 SP 1 (32-Bit) with the latest version of the Desktop Manager Software. Now, the Desktop Manager successfully communicates with my Blackberry. However, as others have expressed, my computer then detects the USB component of my Blackberry as a "RIM Mass Storage Device" and is unable to find the compatiable driver. As a result, I am unable to utilize the Mobile Modem or Media features of the Desktop Manager. Now this may sound like just any ohter RIM Mass Storage Device problem but I assure you that there is a twist!
I have tried multiple methods to resolve this problem:
Clean uninstall and re-install of the Desktop Manager Software
Downgrading to an older version of the Desktop Manager Software
Installing the corresponding RIM USB Drivers
Deleting the RIM Mass Storage Device from the Device Manager
Reseting my BlackBerry Curve
Windows Update (I installed Service Pack 1 long after I first noticed this problem)
Consulting the Solution Articles on the RIM and Windows Support websites for fixes
Now, I have another computer that operates on Windows XP Home Edition (SP3). It also has the latest version of the Desktop Manager installed. However, it can successfully communicate with my phone at all levels (Mobile Modem, etc.). When I investigated the Desktop Manager, I found that the phone was being viewed as a "RIM Blackberry SD USB Device," as it should. Thus, I know that my Media Card settings on my phone are configured properly.
I also noticed that the USB Device was utilizing disk.sys. My computer operating Windows 7 also has the disk.sys file, which is used successfully by my other USB devices. However, if I try to manually associate that driver with the RIM Mass Storage Device my computer objects, stating that the driver is not compatable with my device. So, I tried to apply another of other drivers that I was able to successfully associate my USB Flash Drives in the past (USBSTOR.sys,etc.) since the phone essentially must be viewed as a mass storage device by the computer. Unfortunately, it refuses to successfully associate itself with those drivers as well. But, based on my observations from my computer operating on Windows XP, I know that the computer needs to view my Blackberry as a Disk Drive in the Device Manager.
What makes this situation even more bizzarre is that when I restart my computer, I notice that right as the Windows 7 OS is loaded, my blackberry asks me if I would like for it to be viewed as a mass storage device, for media only, or simply charge. That is the general response I expect once the Desktop Manager is loading. However, a few moments later, the phone then announces that it is unable to charge in the USB port it is connected to.
I am curious if anyone else has had a similar problem with the acutal Windows 7 Drivers being unable to be associated with their Blackberry. Also, I am concerned if my disk.sys file is actually corrupted. I think I might also be relevant to mention that my computer had a number of problems detected other USB devices in the past but by deleting the system drivers I was able to have them communicate with the computer once more. Unfortunately, from what I understand, disk.sys is a critial file during the startup sequence of the Windows Operating System. Thus, I don't believe my previous methods will suffice nor if there is anyway to reinstall disk.sys since the computer was purchased with Windows 7 as its original operating system.
Thank you in advance for any advice!

Yes indeed
I usually try and stop this windows (7) update stuff because half my remote sensing software gives up every time - but yes indeed this time having just moved house there was a mistake and a load of ms **bleep** got installed and sadly when i thought to see if that was the route of the problem i discovered i had no restore point of any use
SO i suppose we could say this is all my fault really because I left ms into my computer again - aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh

ITunes finding media in mass storage device

I moved all of my iTunes music to a mass storage device. How do I get iTunes to find it?

I have uninstalled itunes 7.0.2 and installed the default itunes 6 software and ipod software then i updated to 7.0.2 and still same problem. Obviously the corruption is Windows related, but still cant work out the problem

ITunes recognizes other mass storage devices/network but not iPod

When I plug my iPod into the computer, Windows and iTunes recognize that the iPod is connected. A windows bubble from the sys tray tells me that a mass storage device was detected, and a iPod icon appears in iTunes. However, iTunes does not connect to the iPod; for some reason it connects itself to the network (ethernet connection) or to my external hard drive (USB connection), in that order. It will recognize the network as the iPod, unless it is disconnected, and then it will recognize the hard drive as the iPod. If neither of these devices are connected, then the computer doesn't recognize the iPod at all unless I restart it. Thus, to get the computer to recognize my iPod, I have to disconnect my network, and my external hard drive, restart the computer and plug in the iPod. After this point, I can reconnect both devices and everything works. What's going on?

that sounds like classic symptoms of a Windows drive letter confusion problem. let's see if this document will help:

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

Can't download the latest iTunes. A window pops up... The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs. No iTunes now.

Can't download the latest iTunes. A window pops up... The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.
Now, iTunes won't launch and can't be updated. Please help.
If I have lost my music collection I will be switching platforms ASAP. It is insane that Apple has updates seemingly every day for their products.

I was in your same situation with 14 downloads and 14 attempts.
You have to make sure that your Mac is booting into 64 bit mode. You can make sure of this by going into System Preferences and scrolling down to 'Software' and making sure that you are booding with 64 bit Kexts.
If not, restart while holding the 6 and 4 keys down until you see the spinning gear wheel and try installng again.
BUT, what I also did was to go into Applications, click on the Lion installer, Get Info, and give yourself custom priviliges to Read And Write.
I did this simultaneously, and I don't know what function did it, but it worked for me, with no further downloads of the installer.
Good luck!

What exactly is your 'mass USB device', and how is it formatted? When you connect it to your MBA, does it show up on the desktop?

Time Capsule vs. Other Mass Storage Device

I am a Mac newby seeking advice. I recently purchased the MBA below to replace my personal PC. My previous setup was a desktop with plenty of storage to handle my needs (including iTunes) and I backed up data directly to an external hard drive (I know pretty basic).
After purchasing the MBA, I realized I do not have enough internal hard drive space to store all of my music and my current external drive is too small for all the media and backup of the MBA. Also, the point of the MBA is to be mobile. Also, I would like my Sonos music system (with an application similar to iTunes) to be able to access the music library. Lastly, I have far to many songs purchase outside of iTunes to use iTunes Match. Therefore, I started seeking wireless alternatives to store my music and backup my MBA. Although an NAS would probably be ideal, I have found out through trial and error that the basic systems do not work with a MAC and the only ones with a prayer are the more expensive ones (i.e. Synology and QNAPS). Therefore, I have decided to pursue a more simplified approach.
My Internet and TV provider is CenturyLink. Their router is very basic with only 802.11g speed and without any USB ports. The following configuration has been suggested to my by some more experienced Apple users to provide wireless data access and backup.
Requesting CenturyLink provide me with a basic modem.
Purchasing an Airport Extreme (or similar wireless n router with a USB port).
Connecting the Airport Extreme (or other wireless router) to the basic modem.
Purchasing a Time Capsule (or other mass storage device).
Partitioning it using either the specific one for the Time Capsule (or Disk Utility for other mass storage devices) to provide one volume for my media and one for backup using Time Machine.
Moving the media from my old external drive (which is catalogued with folders for each artist, subfolders for each album and the songs in the subfolders) by connecting the old mass storage device and Time Machine to my MBA and using Finder to do this (see the questions below regarding this).
Moving/cataloging the media from the Time Capsule (or other mass storage device) by dragging it into the iTunes window.
Connecting the Time Capsule (or other mass storage device) to the USB port of the Airport Extreme (or other wireless router).
Setting up Time Machine to use the volume partitioned for backups.
Possibly having to move cataloging files from my iTunes, Music folder to the external drive and pointing iTunes to the Time Capsule (or other mass storage device) through Preferences, Advanced to access the music.
Overall, I am concerned with the total cost. I just spent a lot of money, not only purchasing the MBA, but also the iPad 3 and upgrading my cell phone to the iPhone 5 (I skipped the 4). It seems that by the time I purchase an Airport Extreme and a Time Capsule, I could also have just bought a NAS like the Synology 213 with 2 X 1TB drives, connect it to the existing wireless router via ethernet connections and have a more comprehensive solution. Based upon these instructions and cost concerns (and bad experience), I have several questions related to this.
Does this configuration and these instructions make sense, including those for moving and accessing my music files through iTunes (i.e. will it work)?
Are both the Airport Extreme and Time Capsule necessary to make this work easily or can I purchase alternatives to either or each and if so, what is recommended? If they are necessary, would you recommend doing this or buying one of the aforementioned NAS's to a Mac newby?
Given the file structure for my music on the old external mass storage drive, can I simply move the folders over with the subfolders containing the musice files in them or do I have to literally enter into each subfolder, select all and move them subfolder by subfolder (i.e. album by album)?
Am I missing something totally better and easier solution?
I would be massively grateful to anyone who can provide some good answers, advice and guidance. I am about to pull my hair out!!!!
Thanks,
WinoSkiBoy

They both said about the same thing except the Apple Store business tech said to buy an Airport Extreme and just attach a partitioned external third party HDD to it.
Except that is flakey for TM backup..
http://pondini.org/TM/Airport.html
And slow as the proverbial dog.. although I guess the dog is old.
And totally inadequate as a media store or server.
Apple's pricing is pretty cunning.. I really doubt you are going to find a cheaper unit to do both wireless and TM backups than the TC. And it is a perfectly good device to do that. It is good to have in the network. And Apple sure make their products work with other apple products.. so it does work better than other similar cost products.. although you miss a lot of features that Apple predecided for you.
But I don't think anyone has the ideal solution to your problem. Apple believe in cloud. And if you have fibre internet that will work really well.. forks out your money and apple will store your stuff. But for the real world most of us do not have internet connection even a fraction of speed required. And it can be another decade before we will. We need a box that is half way between a TC and media PC, a file store and a NAS. Will Apple make one.. ?? I don't think so.. They believe in cloud..
You can make the missing link one yourself. If you are so inclined.. A HP microserver running freeNAS can do TM backups and makes an excellent media store because it can do AFP. You can put a graphics card in it and plug it into your TV. You can use it with a airport extreme. But you will need a degree in Geek.. !! The synology is a preconfigured form of that.. No Geekdom required. Synology seems to have the upper hand.. this week.
Let me make a suggestion.. Figure out if you are going to jump into the Apple way of doing stuff.. which is basically itunes on computer as a server.. and the whole network.. working as part of this.. so any media is pushed from a store in itunes.. whether local or internet.. if you want to do it that way.. getting something other than the air to run itunes is well worth it. That is what a NAS cannot do.. it cannot be a media player.
Or you do hybrid.. ie you don't use put all your media into itunes, you use a bit of this and bit of something else.. As long as that can play files.. stored on NAS or even on the TC without the itunes requirement.. It won't be as pretty. But it isn't hard to get working.. as long as you accept this isn't going to be the perfect Apple solution.

USB Ports - Mass Storage Devices - Unknown Device

Model: Satellite A135-S2276
OS: Vista
I recently tried plugging in my media card reader that I've had for several years now and has worked many dozens of times. Windows responded with an 'Unknown Device' response. I thought this was odd, so I changed and tried each USB port. To no avail the device wasn't recognized. I tried it in another computer and it worked fine.
I began to try two other mass storage devices that I know used to work, up until recently, on the laptop. Both now are 'Unknown Devices'. I now have a strong feeling that someting was wrong with windows vista. So I search around and find methods to force the driver (inf) cache to reset which should reload any corrupted drivers. Tried many methods, nothing worked, same results. I saw that Vista Service Pack 2 just came out, I installed that hoping that it would fix. Nope.
I gave up on it being a software issue after I did a fresh reinstall of the OS and with the base OS with no other software installed same results.
Is there a way to diagnose if the USB is malfunctioning from a hardware standpoint? Is it possible the USB, even thought windows recognizes it, is dead on the motherobard? If so, how do I get this fixed? Motherboard replacement?
Help!!

It sounds like it is working enough that it can recognize that soemthign is plugged into it.
You say you did a fresh install of Windows. Did you use the recovery disk or a retail Windows copy. If oyu didn't use the recovery disk then maybe you are missing a driver. Best woudl be to use the recovery disk. If a USB mouse doesn't work after that then the hardware has an issue. Assuming the BIOS is OK.
This signature left intentionally blank.

Ipod as mass storage device

Hi
I have an older gen ipod nano which I have synced in the past with a now defunct desktop computer. I've been told I can move my music over to my current laptop by getting the laptop to recognise it as a mass storage device. I've tried just looking in Libraries on my laptop but no music shows in the list. Any idea how I get around this one please?
Thanks in advance.
Shelley

Hi Shelley-Jane,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If the music that is currently on your iPod nano was purchased from iTunes, you can use iTunes on the computer to transfer those purchases into your computer library.

PCI USB Card Does NOT Work With Mass Storage Devices

I have a StarTech PCI card with 6 USB 2.0 ports that I inserted in my 500 MHz (overclocked) B&W Power Mac G3. It works great for any USB device EXCEPT for any hard drive or DVD/CD-RW drive. I checked the system.log file for errors. Nothing shows up in System Profiler or Disk Utility, obviously. Here's what it consistently says:
Dec 16 23:33:28 Geoff-Myers-Power-Mac-G3 kernel[0]: USBF: 674.997 [0xf9c000] The IOUSBFamily is having trouble enumerating a USB device that has been plugged in. It will keep retrying. (Port 6 of hub @ location: 0x62000000)
Dec 16 23:33:33 Geoff-Myers-Power-Mac-G3 kernel[0]: USBF: 679.977 [0xf9c000] The IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate a device.
I'm running the latest version of Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.3. What is wrong? StarTech doesn't have a driver, but nothing should be necessary. Is there a 3rd party USB Mass Storage Device driver that might work better than the Apple generic driver? PLEASE HELP ME! I cannot live with USB 1.1.

Some users have reported problems with certain brand cards and their controller chipsets, so trying a different card may resolve the problem. Keyspan and Macally are often mentioned as being more "Mac-friendly" than some other lessser-known brands or generic cards. Does the card have a mini-power port to supplement the power requirements? With USB 2.0, each port is on a separate bus, so a card with six ports should have one. To minimize the overall draw on the available power, I prefer to install USB cards with as few ports as are needed.

USB Mass Storage Device won't Eject/Unmount

My brother bought a Sanyo ICR-B180NX digital voice recorder last year to use with his iBook. It was working very well up until about August of 2005. At that point, the recorder would mount on the desktop, and he could get all the files off (it records direct to MP3 format rather than WMV, so he can edit his files very easily), but when it came time to eject it, the device icon would disappear and then immediately re-appear on the desktop. The display on the voice recorder remained static at the "Connect" screen.
I believe this happened in conjunction with some sort of OS update, as it was a "sudden" thing. We can't quite recall what happened between the times it worked and the time it stopped working.
I have tried the device on a PC, and it works the way it should, so I don't believe there's anything wrong with it.
Now, I know the system requirements on the website say that you must have Windows, but a statement from a support company (we returned it to the place where we got it, and they sent it out for repairs, and it came back with a letter) states that the device does act as a generic Mass Storage device, and thus may work with most systems.
All my other USB storage devices (ie. SanDisk 12-in-1 card reader, SanDisk Cruzer Titanium 2GB, iPod Photo), and FireWire devices (ie. WiebeTech TrayDock Extreme) work fine and unmount fine.
Does anyone know of any changes to the way Mass Storage devices are ejected in the current iteration of the OS? I haven't had a chance to test the device under an older OS, but will soon.
Alternately, if anyone has any suggestions regarding replacements (not really looking forward to that, given this recorder cost almost $300CAD), let me know. We need a device that can plug in via USB and transfer files to his iBook which he can edit together (he's a newspaper reporter in training, and needs to edit the interviews to take out such things like dead air, etc).
Thanks!
Mike Ma.

Hi
+USB mass storage device. An error occurred during the installation of the device the data is invalid+
This typical error message appears if the installation of external USB devices failed.
Why? This is not easy to say
What you could do firstly is to clean your registry using the freeware software called CCleaner (Google for that).
Install it and clean your OS and the registry entries.
After cleaning access the device manager and remove all USB root hubs and all USB Host controllers from the device list and reboot the notebook.
New reboot should cause a new installation of USB drivers.
Finally try to connect and try to install your external USB devices again.

USB Thumbdrive causes "Mass Storage Device Not Responding"...

Everytime I connect a thumbdrive to my MBP, I cannot eject it. I always get the "disk in use" message.
When I go into Activity Monitor, I see "Mass Storage Device Not Responding" and it's eating up a lot of system resources.
After a short period of time, the fan will come on full blast, and stay on until I force the program to quit.
The only way I can eject the thumbdrive is to force quit through Activity Monitor.
I've tried multiple thumbdrives on every USB port and I get the same result.
I've searched through the Support site, but haven't found a solution.

Using Blackberry as a Mass Storage Device is not working at all. Please advise

It does not show up in My computer.It shows up in the device managers under Universal Serial Bus Controllers as
Blackberry Smartphone I would like to be able to have access to my media card without having to use my storage card reader.I went to computer management to see if it is a drive mapping issue, but it does not even show up there so there is no letter to assign.
I have made sure that The media card is formatted.
I have a Blackberry 8310
v4.5.0.81
Media Support is set to ON
Mass Storage Mode is ON
and Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected is set to YES
It is a 4GB sandisk micro sd
The bberry is not locked.
Encryption mode is not enabled.
I do not have Acronis installed or an Iso mounters to cause any conflicts.
I am not using any network drivers.
Nothing else in plugged into any of the other ports
There are only two on my laptop and I have tried both usb ports.
It is plugged directly to a usb port and not into a hub.
My Computer's OS is XP Pro SP3
Also to reiterate, I am able to take the card out of the bberry and read it no problem through a card reader, but
that is annoying since you are supposed to be able to use see the blackberry as a mass storage device through
explorer.
And just recently as a test,I tried plugging in another blackberry, a 8800 and that one popped up no problem as a removable device in my computer. What I do not get is why Roxio Media Manager can see the 8310 and copy files over and the device manager has it listed as a smart phone under the Universal Serial Bus Controllers list. This is bizarre.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
GREAT FIRST POST!! Very clear and specific. You don't know how rare that is
Is the laptop in a docking bay?
Content "encryption" meaning Content protection is turned off, right?
Are you able to backup and sync with the Desktop software?
Do you have the correct folders on the card?
Blackberry, music, ringtones, pictures, videos, voice notes?
(blackberry has to be first).
Last one, how did you format the card?
Thanks
