ERROR when iTunes starts

I get this error message when i plug my ipod into my computer
"iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "(my ipod's name)". Use the iPod Software Updater application to restore the iPod to factory settings."
I don't want to go through the hassle of restoring my iPod. Any suggestions as to how I can overcome this problem? Thanks

I also just realized there is only ONE artist showing in my iPod when i try browsing through "Artists", "Albums" and "Songs" in the main menu.
I am able to play other songs on my iPod through the "Playlist" function...however I cannot view them nor access them through the other menus.
this *****!

    I updated Itunes today to the latest version. Windows 7 64bit. None of my drivers work and get an error when itunes starts, about registry setting for reading and writing dvds and cds missing. Anyone else have the same issue. I downloaded itunes again, reinstalled still have same issue.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

    My Ipod Classic appears in My Computer when I connected it to my new Windows 8 pc. When Itunes starts my Ipod is no longer appears in My Computer and is not shown under Devices in Itunes. It appears that Itunes disconnects my Ipod from the pc. My Ipod still sync's up fine with Itunes on my old Windows XP pc.

  • ITunes Library.itl keeps disappearing when iTunes starts

    I just updated to iTunes 10.8.0.40.  Now my iTunes Library.itl file keeps disappearing.
    When iTunes starts, I get a message that says, "The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created.  The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder inthe "Music" folder."
    I copy a backup from the "Previous iTunes Library" folder and then iTunes will start.  However, the file disappears again as iTunes is starting.  Right after it disappears, iTunes displays a message that says, "Checking iTunes Library..." followed by "Updating iTunes Library..."  Then I get a message that says, "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved.  A folder was specified instead of a file."
    The process repeats endlessly.  How do I stop iTunes from deleting the iTunes Library.itl file as it starts?

    I fixed this by removing iTunes and installing MediaMonkey.  Most of the music I have in iTunes has been ripped from my CDs and MediaMonkey found all of those MP3's within a couple minutes.  The last time I had to rebuild my iTunes database, it took two days because I couldn't figure out how to stop it from analyzing the volume.  The few albums that I bought through iTunes, I will burn to a CD and re-rip.  Despite the name, MediaMonkey seems to be a much better program for managing music and runs significantly faster on my little HP mini.
    This is the fourth and last time I'm dealing with the problem of iTunes deleting my database.  Good riddance iTunes.

    Is iTunes endlessly saying "Accessing iTunes Store"? Or is something a bit different going on?

    If it is the first CS version then you will need to check out the following.  I believe it applies to CS as well even though it specifies CS2....

  • IPod Unit in Computer Resources list disappears when iTunes Starts

    When iTunes Starts and detects the iPod device the iPod disk resource, in computer resource list (e.g. iPod (G:)) disappears. In this way any action I made to iPod fails.
    I tried all but it doesn't working.
    help me....

    I tried two different USB ports each a failure. Other USB items are as follows: wireless mouse + keyboard bundle, wireless network adapter, digital camera (sits there all the time), and 500 GB Western Digital external hard drive. I am on a network but nothing from the iPod or iTunes accompanying folders are shared. Originally I had G: but it is now I:.
    At the moment it works again (for now). I don't know why it worked for me but I tried a non-official iPod song loader and when that didn't work I just deleted everything on the iPod (hidden files too) and the next time iTunes tried syncing it asked to set up new iPod controls. After that it stayed on the My Computer folder and I could reload songs through iTunes. I haven't tried it more than this once because I don't want to jinx it. I don't suggest my way because it was probably dumb luck.

  • What is it that resets the Music Location when iTunes starts?

    So whenever you have your Music Location set to a mount on a remote device. Such as a share on a Time Capsule for instance if the mount isn't present when iTunes starts iTunes will always reset the Music Location back to it's default.
    Is there a way to stop this from happening?
    Can I make it so that mount is always available before iTunes or iTunes Helper starts?
    Both I and my wife on her Air want to share the same remote device for our music library but we don't want iTunes to keep reseting the Music Location.

    Option selects the iTunes library file, which is most likely in the /Music/iTunes folder on the Mac HD.
    The iTunes music folder is on the Time Capsule which needs to be mounted.
    As Robert noted, add the Time Capsule to your Login items.

  • Automatically play music when iTunes starts? is it possible?

    hello,
    i just wanted to know if there is any way to automatically start playing songs when iTunes starts.
    Thanks in advance.

    Is there any way to restore this!?!
    You can usually redownload content through your iTunes Store account. Some content that is redownloadable is determined by the country where you live. However, have you not been also storing all of your iTunes content in the media libraries in the iTunes app on your computer?

    Many thanks, Paul.

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair".
    Does iTunes launch properly now?
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post:

  • An error message when iTunes starts up.

    Lately when my iTunes start I get the following error
    message.
    iTunes Setup Assistant
    Warning!
    The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and
    burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of
    installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes.
    I tried to reinstall, but I still get the same error message. It doesn't matter much, I'm not using the iTunes
    to burn CDs, just trying to get the message to stop
    popping up everytime, keeps the iTunes from starting
    automatically when I connect the iPod. Thanks.
    me.

    What other burning software do you use on your PC? There is a reason why this happens. When an application (such as Roxio, Nero, iTunes, etc.) is installing a driver file (as a .SYS) or replacing a working driver file that is referenced within your registry. For some people, the replaced driver is still referenced by either an UpperFilterCheck or a LowerFilterCheck, and the device manager is actually seeking out that file that, well... no longer exists. Or, when you try and uninstall the application (iTunes is the frequent transgressor) everything is removed, including the related driver files, but the registry isn't altered... so the device manager continues to try and locate that driver file... which no longer exists...
    First, I would tell you to go to your computer manufacturer's website and download all new driver's for your optical drives. Run CD Diagnostics in iTunes and post them here if you still have problems. Here is an Apple Article that discusses this issue:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302976
    There are other work arounds as well if you want to know that. Post back if you still have problems.
