Error message when connecting Nano to computer - please help!

I just started getting an error message when I try to disconnect my Ipod Nano from my computer after it's done charging/updating. The message tells me the device can't be stopped because other programs are utilizing files on my nano.
I tried restarting my computer, but it froze. It's happened twice now and I have had to disconnect it when it says not to. Please help!

I have been ejecting it. This problem only began recently. I read through about 30 pages of this forum and found someone postoing about the same problem. They said it may be McAfee Viruscan in the background.I'll check that out.

  • 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???

  • USB Power Error Message When Connecting NANO

    Windows XP Pro on desktop computer gave an error message that the USB port power too high or something to that effect. This has happened three times with Nano. Purchased the Nano only two days ago. I also connected the Nano to my Windows laptop to charge and it bucked the laptop battery and shut it down. Is this normal? Should I just return the Nano?

    Normally the error you get is about the port not having enough power, so I don't know how it could be too high. Not sure what you mean by "bucked the battery" either, but it doesn't sound good. If it were me, I'd consider swapping the iPod for a new one to see if it's defective.

  • Windows - No Disk error message when connecting Ipod to computer

    I recently connected my Ipod to the Computer as I have done for the last year and I am now getting an error message reading: "Windows - No Disk". It then asks me to insert a disk. I cannot cancel out, continue or retry which are the three choices. I eventually have to Ctrl + Alt + Del to close out Itunes. Can anyone help? Thank You.

  • Error message when opening itunes...please help

    I recently tried to purchase music on the itunes store, and was told to do so I had to upgrade to itunes 7, which i had put off for quite a while...however, now that I have done so, I get a error that comes up each time I open iTunes, telling me a newer version of quicktime is required, despite the fact I HAVE that new version, and whenever I try to install a standalone version of the most recent quicktime, it tells me a newer version of quicktime is already installed.
    Anyway, this is the error message: "QuickTime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires Quicktime version 7.1.3 or later. Please reinstall iTunes."
    Whenever I try and install a non-standalone version of the newest iTunes, this doesn't seem to effect the situation so could anyone help? Would be appreiciated...thanks...

    i've just checked the Add/Remove programs list, and Quicktime doesn't appear to be on it.
    okay, let's try a slightly different technique for swapping out the QuickTime that can get past those sorts of issues.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll try to get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

  • Error message when connecting to iTunes says my new iPad 4 can't be connected as it requires version 10.7 or later. Surely a new iPad already has the latest version, and if it doesn't how do I get it?

    Not the iPad - your computer must be running iTunes 10.7 in order to sync. It has nothing to do with iTunes on the iPad.
    You can download iTunes for your computer here.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    If nothing above helped, restart your router.
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • Error message when connecting 80GB Video iPod

    I'm getting this error message when trying to connect my 80GB Video iPod:
    "The iPod (name) cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-48)."
    Never seen this one before.
    I haven't synced this iPod for a few weeks but it always behaved fine before, taking a few seconds to appear in iTunes (v7.5) then syncing perfectly when I hit the Sync button (I have it set to manually sync only because sometimes I want to change the contents or only sync music).
    Before syncing on this occasion, I did an iPod software update via iTunes - iTunes said there was a newer version (1.2.3). After the update, I disconnected the iPod for a few minutes (somehting I wanted to check content before syncing), then reconnected it. At first iPod took about a minute to show up in iTunes - way too long. I Reset the iPod and tried again but still LONG delay to appear in iTunes (again about 1 minute). I did another Reset - same result. Then I did a complete Restore, after which syncing to restore the contents gave problems - it refused to finish the sync. I had to disconnect and start again, syncing the data one section per sync session - Contacts, music, videos, iCal - which seemed to work fine. Then I disconnected, waited a few minutes then reconnected the iPod to check. It wouldn't connect at all. Did a Reset, tried o connect again and it did connect but then proceeded to resync all my contacts taking almost 30 minutes (way too long) to do so (I had made NO changes in Address Book since that data was put in there). I tried to reconnect again but then got the error message (above). Did another total Restore and the same shenannigans happened. Now, I have an iPod with data on it and works fine, but iTunes won't recognise it - just gives this error message every time.
    By the way, my 8GB Nano (software 1.1.3) seems to sync fine on the same system, same computer.
    Could this be the 1.2.3 iPod software giving issues? I appreciate any help because I also use this iPod for recording for my work, which getting a little urgent now.
    Many thanks.

    Thanks Zevoneer, but no real success. I did all that but when I tried to sync after it, it got partially through the sync (about 10% I'd guess) and presented an error message saying that the disk couldn't be read form or written to (sorry but I forgot the error number). I disconnected the iPod, waited a few minutes then reconnected and again got the message but then the ipod continued to finish the sync, even though almost all of the music and 2 of my 4 videos didn't go over to the iPod. I'm now thinking that this just isn't satisfactory reliability from the device since I use it a lot in my work and rely on it. But this new iPod is only a few months old, had very little use and only made about 12 recordings - In comparison, I've used the Nano heaps but now want to move over to the bigger one, basically for more capacity and bigger screen for video. I wonder if it's a hard drive failure in this iPod?

  • Error message when connecting external hdd.....NTFS 3G error.

    Im receiving the following error message when trying to connect a Clickfree portable hdd.
    I am also recieving the message when connecting a WD portable hdd that was previously working
    before installing the Clickfree hdd.....
    NTFS-3G
    Could not mount /dev/disk2s1 at volumes/CF storage because
    the following problems occurred.
    /Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/support/fusefs.kext failed to load (libkern/kext) link error
    Check the sys kernal logs for errors or try kextutil (8).  The MacFuse file sys is not available (71)"
    I am trying to install it on a mac OS X 10.6.8
    Can anyone help please?
    thanks

    Regarding uninstalling, this is from the FAQ on the MacFuse site (http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/wiki/FAQ):
    Q 2.3. How can I uninstall MacFUSE?
    A: Launch the Mac OS X System Preferences application and go to the MacFUSE preference pane. Click on the "Remove MacFUSE" button. This will uninstall all MacFUSE components except the preference pane itself.
    You can keep the MacFUSE preference pane around should you decide to install MacFUSE again in the future. If you do wish to remove it, you do it just like how you would remove any other non-Apple preference pane: In System Preferences, control-click (right-click) on the MacFUSE icon and you will see "Remove ..." as an action.
    Only if you had the "Show Beta Versions" button checked in the MacFUSE prefpane, you'll have a property list (plist) file remaining at this point:/Library/Preferences/com.google.macfuse.plist. To remove it, you should uncheck the button before you remove the prefpane as described above.
    Note that an official (correct) MacFUSE installation will have a preference pane if you have MacFUSE 2.0 or later installed. If you have an older version of MacFUSE, you can uninstall as follows.
    The other thing you can do if you're having problems is go into System Preferences and there should be an icon for MacFuse.  By going into that there may be an option to disable it.  If so, do that first before attempting to uninstall and try mounting your drives again.

  • Error message when connect to wireless router with wifi enabled phone

    Wireless router model WRT54G Ver.2
    i would like to seek help on this.
    I have been using a wirreless router to access the internet with my computer and it has been working fine. recently i got a handphone with wifi capability (nokia 5800). I managed to connect the phone to connect to the wireless router (it says so in the phone status). but when i tried to open the browser in the phone i got an error message "No Gateway Reply".
    Can anyone help me to troubleshoot?
    I enable WEP for security.
    another thing is, i tried to use the phone to connect to another wireless router at the cafe, it worked well.
    thanks

    When you connect your handphone to your wireless network, whats the IP address you are getting it on your handphone, if required you can provide a static ip on your handphone i.e IP : 192.168.1.10, Subnet : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1, DNS1: 4.2.2.2, DNS2 : 4.2.2.1 and after this you can restart your handphone and try to check if you are able to go online or not.
