Disc utilities fail with the new iPod Classic

Like with any HD based device, I always perform regular checks and maintenance on it. I frequently check my daughter's iPod Mini and repair the directory, if needed, and occasionally defrag when required. However, attempting to just check the directory structure, or view possible fragmentation without even starting the defrag process with the Classic, causes TTP 4.5.3 to crash, DriveGenius to report:
"Read error whilst trying to read the Wrapper Master Directory Block" and also tell me that the volume is not HFS+.
I don't understand why I'm not able to work with this iPod in the same way I do with my daughter's. Can anyone help?

The following is a bit more information on what happens when I try and rebuild the directory.
The iPod works and behaves perfectly. I'm really worried now.
Analyzing an HFS Plus volume.
Error : Read error whilst trying to read the Wrapper Master Directory Block
Error : Read error whilst trying to read the HFS+ Volume Header block
Error : Invalid HFS+ signature found in the volume header (0000 - (n).
Error : Invalid HFS+ version number in the volume header (0).
Error : Invalid HFS+ total block count found in the volume header (0).
Error : Invalid HFS+ resource fork clump size found in the volume header (0).
Error : Invalid HFS+ data fork clump size found in the volume header (0).
Error : Unable to get the HFS+ volume header.
I have posted this in the general 'Using OSX' as well but so far there's been no response.

  • Are the newer ipod classics (80GB and above) compatible with docks for the older ipod classics (20GB)?)

    are the newer ipod classics (80GB and above) compatible with docks for the older ipod classics (20GB)?)

    I have an iPod Touch 2 with iOS 4.2.1.  This is the highest version that works on this device.  I checked it once and it had to do with iOS 4.3 and above only supporting the higher RAM CPUs on newer devices.
    Apple does make it harder than it needs to be.  There still remain a number of apps available on iTunes that will work but they are hard to find because you must manually look at each app specs to see if the app supports an iOS below 4.3
    App backups are your friend since iTunes has no way to keep older version of apps.

  • Using iPod Camera Connector on the new iPod Classic

    Hi, I have successfully used the iPod Camera Connector on my old Classic iPod to back up my camera. Would like to move with the times and buy the new iPod Classic but don't want to loose the ability to back up - will the camera connector work with the new Classic please? (and has anybody done it?)

    Why can't this work with the classic?
    another thread states "as the iPod touch doesn't support "disk use" (it doesn't mount as a hard drive on your computer)."
    Well, my classic does support disk use so I would like the option to use this. Is it really that hard to have a software update to recognise a piece of software that has presumably been programmed before for previous models

  • Will i have to do it all over again with the new ipod?

    my ipod is super beat up and it's time for a new one, so i deleted all my itunes programs off of my computer and i've reinstalled them.
    while i'm saving up money for a new ipod i wanted to go ahead and reimport all my songs into a library, once i do this am i able to just plug the new ipod into my computer and all of these songs will update and i'll be all set?
    or will i have to do it all over again with the new ipod?

    Once you have reinstated the tracks to your library, you'll able to sync your new iPod to it automatically and update it with the contents of your iTunes.

  • Over the years I have backed up my ifoto albums on discs. Now with the new ifoto in 10.7.5 I can't see the fotos from five year old discs--only a dotted line outline of the fotos, all black and white; no images. What gives? and how can I view them?

    Over the years I have backed up my ifoto albums on discs. Now with the new ifoto I cannot see any fotos when I insert the 'old' discs, just dotted lines around where the foto should be. How can I view the fotos? They were backed up for security, but now they are so secure I can't view them! Help!

    If you're running iPhoto 9.5 you'll need to follow these directions in order to view disk created by previous versions of iPhoto: 
    1 - Copy the library from the disk to the Desktop.
    2 - Double click on the iPhoto Library Upgrader tool to launch it  and select the library on the desktop to convert.
    3 - Once that is done you can open it with iPhoto 9.5.

  • Is the new iPod classic's scroll wheel less sensitive?

    I have an iPod video that had a silicone skin on it.  When I put the it on the new iPod classic I recently bought, it can't sense my scrolling.  Same issue when I put it in my armband that has a plastic cover.  Curious to know how many other people have or have had this issue.  Wondering if there's any way to change the sensitivity on the iPod.

    I think the topic starter means iPod 3G not the second generation iPhone 3G.
    But sorry, I don't know. I never used the new USB-cable for the iPod 3G, I always used Firewire.

  • Just got a new iPod Classic and can only sync 536 songs of the almost 8,000 that I have stored in the cloud. How can I download all my music to the new iPod Classic?

    Does anyone have an idea how to transfer music stored in the cloud to a new iPod classic?

    You must download it to your iTunes library first, before syncing the iPod classic.

  • I am very disappointed with the new ipod touch

    So apple adds all of this new stuff to the iphone 4s, dual core a5 chip, all new 8MP camera and optics, and siri. Yay, every iphone customer is happy. This is what you added to the new ipod touch, wait its not new, its the 4th generation with the option of having it in white. Whoop-de-do, you added white to it, besides that you didn't add anything new to it. You have pretty much ditched the ipod touch in my opinion. You have greatly disappointed me apple...

    What I would really like to see in the next gen Touch is 3G or 4G wireless.
    Refillable usage, just like the iPad.  Don't want the "contract" requirements
    of iPhone.  Even if you do by an unlocked iPhone, you can only get
    2 year contract service for data, oh yeah and have to get voice as well.
    I just want wireless data access in my pocket, and the Touch with 3G/4G
    would fit that bill nicely!
