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.

  • I can not open raw files in elements 12 any help please?

    I can not open raw files from my Nikon D610 in elements 12. (I have already downloaded raw converter 8.3 but to no avail) any help please would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Can you confirm which Camera Raw PSE 12 is actually using by loading the editor and going to Help -> About Plug-in -> Camera Raw.
    If you do Help -> Updates it may install the latest camera raw of 8.4 - not on XP or Vista systems.
    Do you use any Nikon software to download the images? The older versions have been known to corrupt the files.
    See the following for more info.

  • Can not update my IOS ... Please Help

    HI i added extra storage and i can not update my IOS and phone says i have 16.7GB avail. help please

    If you bought extra icloud storage, that is not what the storage that you need to update your phone.
    It is talking about storage on the device itself. If you have a 16 gigabyte iPhone, and only have 1 GB available, you will NOT be able to update no matter how much icloud storage space you have.
    Check in settings>general>usage
    At the top it will say Storage, then show how many GBs are used, and how many are available. You need to have at least 3 GB in available to upgrade.

  • Can not update iPod Nano, brand new and error says there is not enough room

    I just purchased my son a 1 gig nano. After registering and setting up options for updates. I got a message saying that it could not update because there wasn't enough room. I was trying to download less than 100 songs and all of them have been downloaded from iTunes. I have already completed the "5R's" as suggested in the troubleshooting section and it still will not update. iTunes recognizes his iPod, all software has been updated, I've reset and restarted. Very frustrated and my 11 year old is very devestated. Could someone please help?
    Thank you

    There's not an actual limit number to the ammount of songs that any iPod can hold. It's all size dependant. You might have simply downloaded a lot of large songs. When you're in iTunes check at the bottom of the screen to see how many megs or gig they actually take up. And keep in mind a 1 gig iPod isn't actually 1 gig. There is always a bit of space used up by system files and whatnot.

  • 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

  • Can not open any files following Disk Repair! Help!!

    Hi. My iMac has failed to boot up a couple of times recently. I have used the  Disk Repair utility to solve it twice. Both times it found errors and repaired them but the second time when I boot up normally again I can not open 99% of my files, from spreadsheets to videos. I can see the files in finder but if I click on them nothing happens. Also Finder behaves strangely jumping back to higher folder levels by itself. I can use my yahoo mail account to attach files to an email, send them to another machine, download them and they are fine so it seems like they are still there but my imac can't understand what they are in order to open them. Any ideas? - I have about 900 gig of files that i'd rather not email on by one to get them back!!! Thanks.  Alex

    You should not be running without a backup, preferably a bootable clone on an external hard drive. Some have redundant backups, one a clone, the other Time Machine, on two different external drives. I have clones on two externals. Drives can fail without notice at any time and everything goes down the drain.
    You can use free/donationware Carbon Copy Cloner.

  • "Can not Update iPod because Playlist no longer exists" (!!!)

    This is the message I get when I plug my iPod in. The songs remain in my library, but my playlists do not sync to my iPod. My iPod remains empty. This happened after I updtated iTunes to 6.5. Any advice?

    while the ipod is plugged in and showing up in your itunes sourcelist, go into your "ipod" preferences tab.
    you will currently have "automatically update selected playlists only" selected in there. compare the list of playlists in the box beneath that option with the playlists currently appearing in your itunes sourcelist. if you find any that no longer show up in your sourcelist, uncheck them in the preferences display.
    for some more info on how that update setting works, see:

  • I can not update my iphoto program... please help

    when I download the latest version (604), I get a message that tell me
    "iPhoto Updater cannot be installed on this computer. An eligible iPhoto application could not be found in /Applications. Well there is an iPhoto 2.0 program there. Do I have to buy the latest version???
    Please help..

    Yes, in order to do the free up update, you must first purchase the upgrade. Buy iLife 06, and you'll get iPhoto 6, which you then want to update to 6.0.4. You'll also get the latest versions of iMovie, iDVD, iTunes, iWeb, and GarageBand. the iLife Suite is great fun. Check out the iLife suite at http://www.apple.com/ilife/
    And be sure to check the system requirements for RAM, etc.
