Corrupted ipod error message

I've had my ipod for about 3 years, and I haven't really had any problems. Knock on wood.
I downloaded the newer version of itunes, and synced my ipod to it. Now my ipod has no music in it, and there is an error message that pops up when I plug it in that says my ipod is corrupted.
Is that bad? Also, what can I do to fix it?

This link did not fix my problem. I have the same problem ( to be called the Corrupted, restore loop)and spent 2 hours on with a product specialist, level two support and they could not fix it. They point the blame on my laptop. But my laptop works fine. any suggestions on how to fix this would be great

Sad faced Ipod error message (click wheel ipod classic)

I've had the sad faced ipod error message with my ipod before and forcing into disk mode has always solved it before.
It's not showing up in itunes or my computer when I connect it to my laptop.
I have tried forcing it into disk mode time and time again and about one time out 40 it will go into disk mode. The problem comes when I then plug into the computer to restore it. It will start telling me do not disconnect then give me the error message of a battery with little power left.
It is definatly charged because I have been trying to get it into disk mode all day and on the occasions I've managed to get there it will tell me i have 3quarters or so battery remaining. However when I am plugging it into the docking station it isnt coming up to say its charging it just goes over and over with the apple logo then the sad faced ipod message.
I have tried 4 different usb cables and 2 different chargers.
Its driving me mad and any help would be greatly appreciated. I dont want my ipod to be dead.

I have been using that page, I was hoping that as id managed to get it into disk mode a few times that it might not be a harware issue.
Its about 2 years out of warrenty so a service will probably cost the same as a new one

How do i fix or avoid a corrupted file error message

Lynda,
Are you attempting to send a video file which you have on your hard drive to Premiere Elements3? Or is it a slideshow which you have just made in the PSE slide show create function which you are attemptin to send ?
If it is a video file on your hard drive, then I suggest that you first try to bring the video directly in to Premiere Elements 3. If you have already attempted adding a video file directly to Prem Elem 3, then I recommend that you post your question in the separate forum for Premiere Elements. I suggest that you include info about the file type and codec of the video file as well as what variation of Windows you are running.
Premiere Elements forum at

FYI
- I have previously sent photo files from Photoshop Elements 5 to Premiere Elements 3: however I have never attempted to do a Send of a video file. There are many types of video files for which the PSE 5 Organizer has very limited support and that is why I think that you would be better using Premiere Elementa 3 to work with video.
Or perhaps you might have a newer format of video file that Premiere Elements 3 does not support for editing. For example, AVCHD format is not supporedt in PE 3 but is supported in newer versions. This question about types of video is better asked in the Premiere Elements forum.

IPod Error Message when connected to the computer

When I have my iPod connected to my computer and listening to it's music through the computer, or even just updating songs onto my iPod, I always get an error message.
It doesn't really do anything, except it's just there and it's bugging me...On the bottom right of my computer where the time is- thats where the message pops up and it keeps on coming back every 10 minutes or so.
The message says-
iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
The file or directory /iPod_Control/iTunes/Temp File 1 is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
How would I go about fixing this, and what the hellll does it mean?????
Thanks in advance for the help

I've sort of figured out what the error message means- as in what it does to my iPod...
I am unable to add music to my iPod anymore. Anytime I connect my iPod to my computer and try to "safely remove it" with the eject thing, it says it is unable to because it is being files from my iPod Mini are being used by other files(I completely shut down all other music files and still received this message)...
So since I am unable to "safely remove the hardware", I have to do it without clicking the little eject iPod thing. When I do that, my iPod doesn't save any of the music I just put on it, and it comes out exactly the way it was before...
Any idea how to fix this, and how I got it???
And for some reason...My iPod keeps on telling me theres not enough room on it for any more songs when their is over 2.3 GBs left...
What issss going on here???

Corrupt ipod error w/ no ipod connected

An error keeps coming up that says itunes detected a corrupt ipod, but there are no ipods connected to my computer let alone any other usb device. It is slowing down my itunes and when I try to remove the ipod by clicking the arrow button, itunes doesn't respond and I have to force quit. I have not upgraded any software because I usually end up getting an error message when downloading having to do with my quicktime not being able to install properly but I have not had this problem until today.

Corrupted ipod. error 1439

After having a hellof a time getting my ipod mini charged, when itunes is opened, a message that says itunes has detected an ipod that is corrupted and may need to restore before it can be used with itunes. When restore is selected, it begins restoring but gets stuck and gives a message that says that an unknown error has occurred and ipod cannot be restored. Error 1439. I tried all of the 5 r's but it is still not working. I have tried to update/reinstall drivers, reformatting, unpluging and pluging, nothing works. I have actually got it to restore once, but when I try to sync music an error message says that ipod cannot sync because the disk cannot be read from or written to.
Is it time to get a new ipod?

I've received this message twice in the short 5 days I have had my Refurbished IPod classic 120GB. This morning I updated the version of ITunes as was suggested. Still not able to Sync it. When I tried to restore it, that failed and I got this message. Music seems to sync just fine, photos take a bit more but have managed to download some. Movies are out. I've checked the extensione, they are MP4. Along with this Unknow error 1439 I get a message that the drive could not be read because of what might be a computer hardware problem or and internet connection problem. Then my IPod displayed the needed to be charged icon. It was plugged into the computer the whole time. Haven't really had a chance to use it. I am lost and very frustrated. I have 30 days to return it for a replacement but hoping I will find and answer somewhere along the line.

Windows Vista: Ipod Error Message, no longer read by PCs

Hello,
I have a 5th generation black ipod video with 30GB of memory.
The other day I hooked it up to my laptop (Toshiba, 4 months old) that it's been functioning on with no problems whatsoever. This weird error message flashed twice about it not being able to sync because of some software problem.
Eversince then, the only thing I can charge my ipod on is the family treadmill in the basement (~_~) as no other computer in the house recognizes it. I can't even charge it through the wall sockets, either.
I have changed the ipod cord, still no luck. I've also reset the device about 3 or 4 times and uninstalled, restarted the laptop then reinstalled itunes. I would like to reset it back to factory settings but that's impossible as computers/laptops don't pick it up. I live very far from a Mac store...
What's a girl to do? I can't live without my Busta Rhymes and Wu-Tang Clan!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

you have to update Vista go to this site and up-date http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

IPod Error Message: "The disk could not be read from or written to."

Hello!
I was syncing my sister's video iPod (30GB) and this error message pops up "Attempting to copy to the disk. "SARAH'S IPO" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I have restored it three times already, but once it starts putting the music and files back onto the iPod it pops up with that error message. I have updated to the latest version of iTunes and iPod software available. My OS is Windows XP.
Is this something serious? Will I be able to fix it myself or will I need to send it in to be fixed by Apple? Will that be expensive? We didn’t get the Apple replacement plan. D=
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. ^_^
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3) 15" PowerBook 1.5 GHz PowerPC G4, 1.5GB RAM - Windows XP with iPod 5 Generation

Okay I went thru that entire list and here's what I got...
(1) My OS is XP and is running fine.
(2) I've updated my windows
(3) I don't know of any software that might be interfering.
(4) There are no damaged files.
(5) My Windows hard-drive is not damaged and I've tried restoring my iPod's disk thru iTunes but it still doesn't work.
(6) I don't have an iPod photo and I can't find the folder to delete the cache if if I did.
(7) The USB cord is firmly connected into my USB port and my iPod
(8) My music is on my external hard-drive so I need to keep 3rd-party hardware connected
(9) I will try another USB cord to see if that works.
Is there anything else that I can do? Can Apple fix this?
Please let me know.

Can't sync iPod - Error Message: "disc cannot be read from or written to"

My ipod had been working fine until recently when every time I try and sync it I get the following error message:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"
I have tried all suggestions in Apple's support article for this issue but nothing works. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to solve it?
Thanks a lot.

Hi all,
I am sorry to report that I too have this same disc error problem when syncing my iPod to my iTunes library. I take no comfort in knowing that I am one of many that have this same error. I checked on the iPod lounge forum and I just couldn't count the number of users that had the same problem. There are just so many!
I too have tried "5 r's" and I have also tried using a few "s" words and others...lol.
It seems like there is no "fix" for this problem but I will say this: If there is no solution, then I will no longer be buying iPods. This is my third iPod that I have purchased. Which makes my Apple investment near the thousand dollar mark. That is way too much money spent to not have a functioning music player. I will be switching to another player to see if the grass is greener on the other side.
I have been most dissappointed with this error and I will not be "recycling" this iPod for ten percent off of my next iPod purchase.

Getting back the "this file cannot be played on an iPod" error message

Apparently, my iTunes library contains some song files that are out-of-spec and unplayable on an iPod. When I first plugged in my iPod, I remember getting a message to the effect of "The file 'FOO' was not copied to the iPod 'BAR' because this file cannot be played on an iPod." This message repeated for several dozen files before I got annoyed and clicked the "Do not show me this message again" checkbox.
Well, now I want to go through my iTunes library and clean up these incompatible files, so I WANT to see these error messages again. Is there any way, perhaps by mucking with the iTunes plist file, of getting them back?
Any and all help appreciated. Thanks!

Hi
So just close iTunes and re-open iTunes thats it and that worked for you?
When you say reset your settings do you mean to factory settings? As my iPod was swapped at the store for a new one and the problem is still there...
Thanks.

Can't mount iPod error message

Hi, I am trying to fix a feezing problem on my iPod (on startup the display shows a folder with an exclamation mark) and was trying to do a factory restore on it when I ran into the following error messages.
Installing the latest version of Updater, I tried connecting the iPod and then saw a Windows error message that said:

There was a problem installing this hardware
Apple iPod USB Device
An error occurred during the installation of the device
The specified service does not exist as an installed service
After seeing this error message, Updater then displayed the next error message:

Can someone suggest how I can fix this so the iPod is recognized and I can have Updater restore the factory settings?

ITunes/iPod error Message

Each time I connect my iPod to my computer I get the following error message
"There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive G:" Has anyone seen this error message as well and been able to fix?
Help is appreciated.

Well, first I'd update to the latest edition of iTunes (again). Might as well.
Then just drag the folder with all of your tunes into the program's main window. iTUnes should then show all of your music.
Now this is important:
Confirm that iTunes has all of your music. The next step is irreversible!
Once the music in iTunes, plug the iPod in. It'll ask you about replacing its contents with iTunes', which should no longer bother you. Hit Yes.

New IPOD - error message trying to use with itunes

Hi
Please can someone help. I just bought an IPod with Video but I cant even get any of the songs in my itunes library synched onto it. When I click on autosync I get the following error message
The IPOD "IPOD" cannot be used because it requires itunes version 7 or later.
It then tells me to go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version or itunes or install it from the CD that came with my ipod.
I have been back to the website and have tried reinstalling Itunes 7.02 but I still get the error message. When I right click on the autosynch button it tells me Internet explorer has encountered a problem and has to close...My Ipod was bought brand new via Amazon and didnt come with any disk....
I've followed the scant instructions and Im pretty computer literate so I dont know whats going on here but I dont seem to be able to get past this basic stage . Meanwhile my ipod is stuck on Do not Disconnect. What do I do. ? I seem to have itunes all set up and my WMA existing files converted and visible in my library. I even bought a new song to see if I could sync that but I get the same error message.. Please help....

When you plug in the iPod does it show up in iTunes before you get the message about needing iTunes7? Or do you get that message after plugging it in before it shows up in iTunes?
