"ATTEMPTING TO DISK MAUREEN'S IPOD FAILED. THE FILE OR DIRECTORY IS CORRUPT

Get this message plus "The file or directory iPod_Control/Music/F05 is corrupt and unreadable. Please run Chkdsk". I've run Chkdsk and it found no errors. iTunes will download a few songs to my iPod and then quit with these error messages.

To run the chkdsk utility, you go to Start Menu of the Windows task bar, and select "Run". Then you type in "chkdsk /f".

Ipod cannot be synced. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable

I have recently had to reload windows xp home edition on my computer and wanted to connect my ipod to load some new music. As it was a new installation the ipod was not recognised. I loaded to latest version of itunes that I have just downloaded and was asked whether I wanted to sync my ipod with this computer in which case I would lose everything that was on the ipod. I choose yes to sync to the new computer but got the error message "the ipod "ipod" cannot be synced. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable". I simply recharged the ipod and continued to use it for a day but then it just ran through the tracks without playing anything until it came to the end of an album and returned to the main menu.
As I cannot play anything I wanted to restore and reload but cant. Could anyone offer any help ? Thanks

I have just managed to connect my ipod through itunes to restore it. However when I tried to connect it to the wall socket to complete the update nothing happens. I have checked the fuse in the plug and that is okay, but the ipod does nothing, not even a light on the display when connected. It seems to have locked up. If I hold it close to my ear I can hear a gentle hum. Also the ipod is not showing up in windows explorer.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks

Error: "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable"

This is driving me nuts.
I've had my 5th gen. iPod for over a year now, but just two days ago, when I plugged it in to my computer I received a message saying, "The iPod "name here" cannot be synced. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."
To solve this problem, I tried using different USB ports, restarting my iPod, and reinstalling iTunes - all to no avail. I'd really like to avoid restoring my iPod, so I haven't tried that option yet. The iPod works fine outside of adding new music. Also, I ran chkdsk and got nothing from it.
I'm very sad about this. I love my iPod and I want to be able to put new music on it! Any suggestions?

Thanks for the reply!
I downloaded the program and ran it, got to the point where it says I have errors that need to be fixed... but it appears I have to pay for the rest of the program to actually repair these errors. Is this incorrect?
If I do have to pay, then I'd like to look for an alternative... the program is $40; of course, that's cheaper than buying a new iPod, but I want to avoid that too.

The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

Every time I try to add photos to my iPod, i get a message that says "The iPod "SEAN'S MUSIC MACHINE" could not be updated. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable." What do I do to fix this?

I reset my ipod on Itunes and it deleted all my songs.Now i have an Ipod that is un-updatable,and has no music. When i plug in my IPod the it doesnt even come up on Itunes. Does anybody know what the deal is?

Cannot sync the file or directory is corrupt or unreadable

I have removed the backups, removed all photos restarted everything but I am still getting this error. any ideas?

I dont get an error number. It says The iPhone cannot be synced. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.
I managed to sync one time and then I tried to update the photos and got the error again. Clearly there is some issue with the photos but I have removed everything from the camera role so it shouldn't be that but I cannot work out where the issue lies.
I also had a similar problem with my ipad which I haven't had time to investigate. Could it be something to do with itunes itself?

When I download a PDF file using Adobe I get a black screen when attempting to print and if I save the file I get a corrupted response when opening it.

This does not always happen, for example if I get a PDF file by email, it appears to be primarilly when I download from the internet.
I use Adobe Reader X1. Can you assist please. Thanks

Thanks Eric, no it does not help the matter. I opened the file using preview and the same message appeared. Thanks.

Microsoft.WindowsAzure.targets, the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable - VS2013.

When I attempt to publish a role to Azure Cloud Services, I am presented with this error on line 2880. The file path to the file is in the generic 2.3 tools folder. Other projects are fine, it is just this project regardless of whether its Staging
or Production deployment and even creating another Cloud project does not resolve it.Turning on the detailed build log, it seems to fail at the CSPack stage which does correlate with line 2880 of the file. I have completed a repair and reinstall of the
Azure Tools v2.3 to no avail. I can open the file in question up and it doesn't look corrupted in Notepad. Any ideas?

Hi,
To enable web application for Azure, you must create an Azure project with a web role in Visual Studio, and that project must be associated with the project for your application. To create the associated Azure project, open the shortcut menu for the project
for your application, and then choose Convert, Convert to Azure Cloud Service Project. After the Azure project is added to your solution, open the same shortcut menu again, and then choose
Publish . For more information about how to enable applications for Azure, see
How to: Migrate and Publish a Web Application to Azure from Visual Studio. Before we deploy our application to azure cloud service, we need to ensure the application can work as normal
with no error.

The iPod cannot be updated The file or directory is corrupted or unreadabl

I have started getting the above error message every time I connect my iPod to update. I have reinstalled iTunes, but still no joy. My computer advises me to run utility 'chkdsk' which I have done, but I still cannot update my iPd with the last 37 songs I have downloaded. I am not sure if this is an iPod problem or computer software
Has anyone any suggestions.

It can be either some bad sectors on the HD of your iPod or there are couples corrupted music files on your iTunes
For the bad sectors, see doing the following helps
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For corrupted music files on the iTunes, you have to find a way to find them out, and delete them.
Oh,one more thing, try to change your iPod drive letter and see if it helps

"The Ipod cannot be updated. The file or directory is corrupted and..

..unreadable"
what does this mean?? i can't add new songs.

If your iPod is corrupt then you have no choice but to restore it.
Before you do that, you may have some success getting the music off it and onto your hard drive again.
Check out the instructions/suggestions here.

ITunes recognises (and plays) CDs, asks if I'd like to import it but when I confirm, error message appears: 'Error occurred while converting the file track name . The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.' Fix?

This problem seems to affect all CDs. I've tried selecting and deselecting the 'error correction' box on the import settings but this makes no difference. I'm running W7 Home Premium with SP1. iTunes Version is: 11.1.3.8 Diagnostics confirms all CD/DVD Drive tests are successful.
As I say, iTunes will play the CD without ny problem. Has anyone experienced this and what's the fix?

Thank you so much! I was in the same situation (iTunes library stored on external hard disk). Strangely, iTunes knew where my music was stored (i.e. if I clicked a song it would link to the library location and play with no problems). But in the "Advanced" settings, the location of my iTunes Library was blank. So I just pointed to the correct location and now everything is working OK! Thanks again.

Hi swiss22!
Have you tried restoring your iPod? For instructions and info on how to restore an iPod, see this:
Restoring iPod to factory settings
If a restore doesn't help, then take a look at this post by Da Gopha:

Ipod cannot be synced. File or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

After I tried reconnecting my ipod to my computer, the message "The iPod cannot be synced. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable." popped up in iTunes and it wouldn't let me access any of the songs on my ipod. I ejected it and checked the ipod, and all of my songs were still on there, but whenever I try and connect it to iTunes the same message pops up and when I go to the music list, nothing is there, though it states 3 GBs of space is being taken up (the amount of space my songs use).
I figured the problem might lay in iTunes and not my iPod, but while there was a problem and I did manage to fix it, the newly downloaded iTunes still gave me the same message as before.
I figure I could try reformatting the iPod, since it looks like that might solve the problem, but I don't have any of the songs on my iPod backed up, so I was hoping someone might be able to offer another solution. =/
*To sum things up: songs are still on my iPod and I can listen to them after ejecting, but syncing up to iTunes is no longer possible (so no new music ;_; ). Problem most likely isn't with iTunes and I'd prefer not to reformat the iPod.*

I have just managed to connect my ipod through itunes to restore it. However when I tried to connect it to the wall socket to complete the update nothing happens. I have checked the fuse in the plug and that is okay, but the ipod does nothing, not even a light on the display when connected. It seems to have locked up. If I hold it close to my ear I can hear a gentle hum. Also the ipod is not showing up in windows explorer.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks

CAN NOT UPDATE iPOD. file or directory being corrupted.. help me!!

I have no idea why my iPod won't sync, but when I try to sync it this message error comes up:
The iPod "myiPodname" cannot be updated. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.
Can you please help?
I'm so confused.
:/

I have the same thing going on!!! I was able to restore the ipod- but that just erased my songs off my ipod- now the error signal pops up when I go to sync my library to my ipod.

HELP "Attempting to copy to the disk JODI'S IPOD failed. The disk could..."

I am receiving this message when attempting to synch. "Attempting to copy to the disk JODI'S IPOD failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." It appears that it synchs some of the songs but hangs up on certain songs. Once I determine the "corrupt" song, I deselect it in Itunes and try synching again. It will synch some more until it comes across another song it doesn't care for. I found 4 songs out of 130 that were problematic. This makes for a very painstaking process. Any help would be appreciated.

You're not the only one. I use a Mac, and I have come across this same problem. I wonder how it determines which ones it wants to sync and which ones it doesn't.

MSSGE attempting to copy to disk "Ipod" failed the disk could not be read..

What is going on with this alert message " Attempting to copy to the disk " Ipod" failed the disk could not be read from or written to." I down loaded a song from Itunes and all of the sudden I get this message and Itunes went crazy, it wouldn't eject my Ipod, I took it to apple and they restored my Ipod saying it was fine, then I get home and I can't put alot of songs in my library back on it, itunes keeps repeating that message. I had no problem putting them on before. I have uninstalled both Itunes and Ipod updater numerous times to no avail HELP!

See if any of the troubleshooting steps in this article help: "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod
