ITunes.exe Corrupt File run the Chkdsk utility

When I connect my nano it doesn't add any songs and a warning comes up from my tray that says"iTunes:iTunes.exe Corrupt File run the Chkdsk utility." I typed Chkdsk into run and ran it. Nothing changed. Also when I connect my nano it says "Attempt to write to iPod failed. The disk cannot be read from or written to." Can anyone help me with this problem?

Event ID 55 NTFS Error: The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume.

One of our File Server getting this error. I explained to you what happened. One of the HDD has failed from this server, which is on RAID. So we put the new one. But we get the NTFS Error. We make the schedule to run the chkdsk /r /c. But still we get this
error on events viewer. Now i have the other problem is that this system's backup is taken care by Dell AppAssure application. this application took the snapshot of each hdd. but due to this error it stops. So I talk to the Dell person to resolve the problem,
but he said to resolve the problem of the NTFS Error. If you resolve this issue the application will work.
So can anyone please help me ASAP to resolve this issue? My sever operating system is Windows 2003 R2.
Thanks.

Doesn't the "/c" argument skip directory corruption tests? Have you tried just using "chkdsk /r" ?
The /I or /C switch reduces the amount of time required to run Chkdsk by skipping certain checks of the volume.

Running the chkdsk utility

the file or directory/ipod_control/itunes/temp file is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the chk dsk utility.
I do not want to restore the ipod because I will lose the 250+songs I have already gotten from what I understand (These are songs I transfered to my ipod from a friends computer which I can't recopy so they are not in my library)
The other option I read was to open my comp and locate the drive ltter for ipod then click on start, run, type cmd. In the black window I typed chkdsk D: (my drive letter) r/f/
When I did this it said "The type of file system is RAW, chkdsk is not available for RAW drives.
Is there anyway to copy the songs into my library so I don't lose them if I have to RESTORE my ipod????? OR any other way to resolve this????
PLEASE HELP ME, I DON'T WANT TO LOSE THESE SONGS AND I NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS TO MY FRIENDS COMPUTER. THANK YOU

Hi there,
The RAW file format refers to the hard drive inside the iPod. It looks like something is getting confused, such that it thinks your iPod is unformatted, or formatted with a RAW file format instead of the usual FAT/Mac OS format...
Exactly what did you type whilst trying out the chkdsk...?
Kind regards,
Gopha.
PS. In reponse to your other post about music - it is considered illegal to distribute music by the manner you are describing - it's still piracy, because to conform to licencing laws, your friend is entitled to have a copy of the music for himself, and only himself, since he purchased it. Him passing it on contravenes the licencing laws. Not to say that people don't do it... but it is illegal if I am correct in thinking...

Don't wanna album artworks keep floating on the main menu

Is there any way to disable album artworks keep floating on the main menu of iPod classic?
I think Apple should give us a choice to disable this function with next iPod firmware update.
Some album artworks I don't want to show up there. And the key point is, the resolution of all my album artworks are 200 x 200. It is really enough for my 5G iPod video. But for my new iPod classic, all artworks would be force to enlarge the size for floating on the main menu like screensaver, and they look really crap.
And I think those new default icons on iPod classic are really nice and that's what I prefer to show

Given the resolution you've got them at, the other occurances of them in the UI - like CoverFlow and album art when a track is playing - also probably look not great.
Turn of the option of synching them completely via the Music tab for the iPod in iTunes. Gets rid of the issue completely - and as you say leaves more useful icons in some places.

How do i run the disk utility to repair permissions:confused;

how do i run the disk utility to repair permissions
i think i hav the same problem as you all iv been
restarting and deleting and renstaling but nothing seems to work
the only thing i havent don is this repair prmission
thing can someone type some instuctions on how or lead me where to
go

are you using mac OS10.2 or later?
if so, this is what I did to solve this most frustrating
problem. Go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities
In the Disk Utility window, click on your hard drive, make
sure you're in the First Aid tab, then click on Repair Disk
Permissions.
Once the permissions were repaired, I took the advice of
another user here on the forum and reinstalled Flash Player 6, as
it was the one that was working before I tried to upgrade and it
screwed everything up.
Hope this helps

TS2986 I keep getting the message that my HD is full, when I run the disk utility it appears that over 400 GB are in the "Other" section, how can I access that area to clean up?

Please help me to figure out how to clean up my HD. When I run the disk utility I get the following view:
As you can se 467.79 GB are in the "Other" section, but I cannot find a way to get to that and clean it up, please anyone out there How can I clean that up?

First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB free for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved. ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To really see everything, you have to run it as root. Back up all data now if you haven't already done so. No matter what happens, you should be able to restore your system to the state it was in at the time of that backup. Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens. After installing ODS in the Applications folder, drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. When you're done with it, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Why does the album artwork appear only when the first song is playing only?

Why does the album artwork appear only when the first song is playing only?

Hello ckuan. Thx for your reply.
The songs are not from iTunes, they are from CDs that I had copied to my itunes library.
It is worth mentioning that I wasn't facing this issue before IOS 5.

I would try reinstalling.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

My album artwork does not match the song in my playlists

After making playlists with music purchased from itunes in my music app, the art work does not match the title of the song / album. How can I fix this problem?

Hi freezerman84,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Album Artwork on your iPhone 5. To troubleshoot this issue, it may be best to completely resync your iPhone with iTunes. To do so, uncheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes (so there is ultimately no music syncing to your iPhone).
Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your iPhone, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
If the above does not resolve your issue, it may be necessary to restore your iPhone:

I downloaded some albums using my iphone, i then synced it with my PC. Now all the album artwork has gone from the songs i downloaded on my iphone, but not on the itunes on the pc. How can i get the artwork back on my iphone?

I downloaded some albums using my iphone (3GS), I then synced it with my PC. Now all the album artwork has disappeared off my iphone but not off itunes on the PC. How can I get the album artwork back onto my iphone?

I had the similar problem last night and found a solution (although it takes more than a few clicks). Highlight all the album tracks in itunes on the pc and right click "get info". Check the artwork box in this window. I found that the now playing art was showing up in the itunes window, but on songs that were missing artwork showed nothing in the get info box. When I replaced the artwork by using the artwork command, or manually adding it into the "get info" window. It was annoying but my iphone updated every album.

The album artwork that is in the right order on itunes isn't showing up on my ipod, and when it does it's not with the right album.

When i look at the itunes thing it doesn't even mention anything about album artwork... ( i am putting this in the itunes section also)
