5800XM music library corrupt - can I fix this with...

Hi
Today my music library has become corrupt
The option to Go to Now Playing has gone.
Refresh Library gives General: System Error
If select All Songs I get  "File is corrupted. Operation cancelled"
Albums, Artists are listed, with their album art - but attempting to play a track gives General: System Error.
Can someone advise ?
Can I fix this via PC without having to delete the whole library & start again (20GB of music on the card !) ?
thanks

First, no filters are going to fix this.
Second, I suspect it's just that you're a bit distant from the mic in an untreated room.  Work as close to the mic as you can (without getting a boomy proximity effect) and hang some heavy soft furnishings behind you (and maybe slightly to the side but not all the way around) when you're recording.
It's not a substitute for proper acoustic treatment but I think you'll find it helps.
(Boring anecdotal aside...when working on news stories in hotel rooms and the like, it's not unusual for even big name reporters to record their voice overs with a duvet draped over their heads.)

    Can you download large files from other places apart from the App store, wondering if it is the App store or your internet connection.
    If it just the app store check this url http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what do you see in the iPhoto window when iPhoto opens?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
    Come on.  Give us something to work with here.

  • Why are red dots next to my music? How can I fix this so my music will play?

    Why are red dots within red dots next to some songs on my phone? How can I fix this so that the music plays and the dots don't just turn grey when I press them? All the music is from CDs not the music purchased from iTunes. Thank you.

    The red circles with squares inside them often mean that the sync with your iTunes went bad.
    Try re-syncing your device. Can you play these tracks in iTunes?
    If a re sync does not work then you may need to rebuild your iTunes Library.

    never done this myself have always been lucky with the resync.

  • My music on the iPod touch 4g isn't sorted out by little sections anymore. For example songs with the letter A and then there will be a marker for all A lettered songs, but my ipod does not do that to all of my music. How can i fix this?

    My music on itunes doesn't have the markers anymore, how can i fix this?
    So my songs should be listed like this:
    A
    Advice
    B
    Bang
    C
    Chinter's will
    K
    KannaZuki No Miko
    L
    Lights

    The reason the alphabetical sections aren't showing is because you don't have enough songs. In order for them to show, you have to have a certain number of songs. ( I think it's 40 ).

  • I put an audiobook into my itunes and the audiobook setting won't save, it goes back to Music. How can I fix this?

    I put an audiobook into my Itunes and I have selected the setting as Audiobook instead of Music but the change doesn't stick. How can I make this work? I've updated all my software and still I can't get the setting to stay on Audiobook.
    Thanks!

    From King_Penguin in response to an earlier query on this topic:
    You should be able to copy it over by connecting your phone to your computer's iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - it should copy over to the Books part of your library

  • ITunes is telling me that I've already authorized 5 computers and that i have to de-authorize one to play my music! How can i fix this when the only computer I've authorized is my own.

    What I think has happened in the past 5years I've been using iTunes, I've cleaned off my hard drive 5times and saving all my music in the process. Each time I start over iTunes asks me to autherize that particular computer, but that computer/OS doesnt exsist anymore. How do I fix this?

  • I don't know the password for my OLLLLDDDD iTunes AOL accounts, and thus can't play half of my music. How can I fix this?

    I recently had to get a new hard drive on my laptop and thus lost all of my music. I've had my iPod for somewhere around six years, and have amassed a lot of music during that time and gone through a couple computers (mostly because I was working up to a computer of my own...). So, if you can guess where I'm going with this, I have had at least three different iTunes accounts and I still have all of the music on an external drive. My problem is that now that I'm putting my music back on to the new hard drive, I can't play some of the songs because I don't know the password for the OLD AOL accounts. I've tried every variation of password I can think of that I would have used, but still come up with nothing. I tried calling the AOL support number and the guy said he had no idea what I was talking about and hung up on me. To make things even more confusing, iTunes seems to have created an identical account to the one I use now but as an AOL account and I have absolutely no idea what the password is. This means that half of my music/TV shows/movies are not able to be watched/listened to. Does anybody have any idea what I can do to recover my password? Or am I totally screwed?? Please help!

    Ok..
    Launch iTunes. From the menu bar top of your screen click Store / Authorize This Computer.
    iTunes seems to have created an identical account
    No... Apple does not "create" an account for you.

  • HT204368 My A2DP enabled Bluetooth headset does NOT play music. How can I fix this?

    I used to listen to music on my Motorola H-17 bluetooth headset. After the headset broke I bought a new one, specifically a Motorola H-17txt bluetooth headset.
    It pairs with my phone, and works fine with phonecalls, but when I play music it only plays out of the phone itself, not the headset. When I open up the audio output options in the music app, there is no option for the headset. When I open up audio output options in voicemail, the bluetooth headset option is right there.
    I made sure this was an A2DP enabled bluetooth headset before I bought it.
    What could the problem be? How might I fix it?

    it could be broken
    I would test it with another device which supported a2dp most computers bluetooth (if they have bluetooth most laptops does)
    other phones also
    if it works with nothing then it's broken or does not support a2dp correctly
    if it works with everything else then it's just strangely incompatible with your iphone
