"Firmware","disk error","can't mount it": Is this the end?

"Firmware","disk error","can't mount it": Is this the end? My iShuffle is DEAD?
I think it's dead but as my last breath i will try to find any different solution before to bury it. Sorry for my English, I am Brazilian, but I will try do my best for you understand me. It’s me who needs help.
I have an iShuffle 512MB (purchase OUT2005), a mini iPod 6GB (purchase SET2005) and a PC running Windows XP SP2 (ADM Athlon XP 2600, HD 120GB, 512MB RAM, 6 USB 2.0).
My mini iPod 6GB (miP6) works correctly with iTunes 5 or 6, with its original factory software and settings and now with iPod update October 2005. I don’t know if everything started when I first connected them two at the same time but they were working fine in the beginning.
One day my iShuffle, connected to my PC USB and transferring music from iTunes, , started to turn off and turn on, that is, iTunes showed it connected and then disconnected even I wasn’t touching it. When it came back in iTunes I started to try to transfer music to it and this time it came off, and then came back without that music I tried to transfer in. This situation didn’t go better even when I try to change my iPod to the other five USB ports, neither in my Notebook (PC WinXP SP2). I have reinstalled iPod with the original CD software, reinstalled iTunes and all the things I read at this forum. The situation was going worse until now, I don’t know why, I can’t use it anymore. The current situation, after all I did – and I will explain what was - is:
1) When I connect it to a USB in my PC or Notebook, windows recognize it as a mass storage device and iTunes don’t start automatically.
2) I go to windows explorer and there it is, “Drive E: removable disk”, but…
3) But it looks like a Drive, with no disk in it. It’s a kind of a CD-ROM drive with NO CD inside it. This way, I can’t format it because I can’t format a drive, just a disk, even partition it.
4) When I connect it to other PCs (winXP), with no iPod software installed, the systems first recognize it as Apple iPod and then as USB Mass Storage device, but the same way at my PC: OKB.
5) When I try to run iPod Updater I receive most of the times this message: “Can’t mount it”. Some times it recognizes it as an iPod but I receive the message, during the restoring original software process, “Firmware update failure. Disk write error”, as you can see here: http://www.ivan.med.br/ishuffle.jpg.
6) So, to try to use Updater, at this time, is out of question. If there is anyway to save it, I think it must be through other software or adjustment, I don’t know. I will show you a brief of what I have done until now:
“Windows-try”
- Current updater. Reinstalled old updater and run too. Reinstalled iTunes and all this stuff.
- Changed USB connection and reinstall USB drives.
- Installed iShuffle at another machine the same way described in iShuffle Manual.
- Tried to format it using windows explorer format tool and other no-windows native tools.
- Used partition magic and other tool to try to build anything in it.
- Used Click Administrative Tools, double-clicked Computer Management, and then clicked Disk Management in the left pane. Nothing appeared. When I connect my miP6 it is there, and everything works fine. Just remember.
- Used Windows tools (CMD tools) as DiskPart and MountVol. Nothing.
“DOS-Try”
- I used a bootable win98 formatted floppy disk, with USB ASPI support, and the system recognized the two USB devices I have connected that time: my Apple “DEAD” iShuffle and my Pendrive. But it could not assign a letter to iSuffle device, only for the pendrive. I’ve used DUSE software too and the same answer, even with an instruction INT13 that allow me to use Fdisk. But even Fdisk could not recognize the iPod as a Disk.
So, this is my story. If anyone could understand it and know anything better than to bury it, send me your message, PLEASE. If you want to send me any software or tool you think can help me, my e-mail address

Same problem in the US...after 1 week of use, hit the reverse button while playing and it stopped, never to resume. Tried the latest software updater for both the ipod and itunes, and received the Ipod Service and Can't Mount Errors. After multiple attempts, all I get is the updater screen stating Initializing.. Additionally, when I tried to reinstall, it stated that the ipod needed to be formatted, yet I received a message that the ipod couldn't communicate. Seems like too many people are having the same issue!

  • Itunes gives me an error "can not open url at this time"

    Every time I open Itunes on my computer it asks me to update Itunes and  click on the update... it then gives me an error message stating it can not open URL at this time....

    Entry point errors can often be fixed by deleting the offending dll, then repairing the component it is part of. CoreMedia.dll is part of Apple Application Support.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
    Or roll back to the previous build:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

  • Can't pull a clip onto the end of my timeline ... (1st time on iMovie) One of the clips has an orange highlight on it. Is this causing the problem?

    Can't pull a clip onto the end of my timeline ... (1st time on iMovie) One of the clips has an orange highlight on it. Is this causing the problem?

    Ahhh, now I see the problem, Grasshopper.  Problem is, we are all Grasshoppers, here.
    Yes, that little piece of info is critical. I'd say the biggest difficulty with FCPX is the whole new language.
    If I read you correctly, your Audio is in the Main Storyline (Track 1 in plain old Editorese). This makes anything else you add (above or below) a "connected clip", which we can no longer think of as "Track 2" because Jobs sez so. So, yes, you cannot just add a transition to either end of a connected clip.
    No argument with Tracy's solution, because I haven't seen any other general solution presented for any attempt to treat connected clips as the main storyline.  And, of course, when they were "track 1" and "track 2", you could.
    An alternative solution, however, is to highlight the connected clip and press Ctrl-V to bring up the Video Animation Editor.  Click the "reveal button" for Compositing: Opacity (bottom, right).  Once open, there is a "fade handle" to the right top.  Drag it left for however much fade you wish.  (there is one on the left as well, but you were only talking about a fade-out.)
    A second alternative, perhaps for future projects where everything keys on audio, may be to create a Gap clip (used to be called slug) in the primary storyline before ever dropping in the audio.  Then you can add video to the main story line and modify it without having to go thru hoops to do the simplest thing.

  • Can I replace my iPhone if the ends are cracked?

    Can I replace my iPhone if the ends are cracked?

    Of course it can be replaced..... if the device needs replacement because of a manufacturing issue and is still under warranty it will be replaced at no cost.
    If there is user damage (which is what it sounds like) or the device is out of warranty, Apple offers Out of Warranty replacements.  In the US the costs are $199 for the 4S and $149 for older models.

  • Error: can't mount ipod

    Also when the ipod and the computer are connected it say's it's charging but My ipod doesn't come up in Itunes. I try to export my library but nothing happpens yet my ipod always says do not disconect
    HELP ME!
    HP pavilion 7940   Windows XP  

    If your iPod is recognized in "my computer", changing the drive letter can sometimes resolve this issue.
    Click on control panel/admin tools/computer management/disk management/right click on the iPod to re-assign the drive letter.
    Choose something lower down the alphabet, say 'M' or something similar.
    The iPod can be confused by any other storage devices assigned a similar drive letter even though they may not connected at the same time.

  • Dolphin error: Can't mount partition: PermissionDeniedByPolicy....

    Hello,
    This is an aggrivating error that I've been dealing with for a while now -- ever since I switch to Arch from Kubuntu, actually. When I attempt to mount my Windows partition (NTFS) from the Dolphin file manager, this is the result:
    An error occures while accessing 'Volume (ntfs)', the system responded:
    org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy:
    org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed auth_admin_keep_always <-- (action,result)
    I don't know whhow to fix this. I remember in Kubuntu if I attempted to mount a fixed disk, PolicyKit would pop up and ask for the password. This is the behavior I am looking for.
    Also, before anyone asks, yes, i'm in the 'storage' group:
    $ id
    uid=1000(ryan) gid=1000(ryan) groups=7(lp),10(wheel),91(video),92(audio),93(optical),95(storage),96(scanner),97(camera),98(power),100(users),1000(ryan)
    Anyone know how to fix this?

  • Disk error - can't repair

    Hi,
    When I startup my Imac it takes forever to get up and running. I sit and wait for the spotlight icon and the other icons at the right top of the screen to open up. When they are present I can begin working, but it takes approximately 10 minutes.
    I tried a few times to run the disk-repair app. but I get a weird message that I can't understand. This is what it says ( please note - this is a translation from Danish, so bear with me )

    Try to get your hands on a program called DiskWarrior.
    http://www.alsoft.com/alssales.html
    If the problem is not totally hardware it should get you back going.
    If it is hardware it may help you get going again so to archive important files before replacing faulty equipment.(I had some problems with a ALS iMac that DiskWarrior helped provide time to archive before computer retired.)
    I hope you are able to get it fixed.

  • Time Capsule Error "Can not mount"

    I have been using time capsule with the 1TB router for months. After the recent updates, when time capsule runs I get the error "can not be mounted". I have turned off the router and restart the laptop without success. Anyone have similar problems and anyone have a solution for a novice?
    thanks

    I'm having the same issue of an "Unmountable Drive" issue with my Time Capsule. I did find this from GDMACK in another thread:
    "Solved the problem by making the name of the time capsule hard drive "TIMECAPSULE" with no special characters or spaces."
    I don't know if it will help our issue but it's worth a shot.

  • Disk Utility can't mount internal disk but tells me use First Aid?

    I have a Western Digital internal 500 GB hard drive that has failed. At first, Disk Utility did tell me it was damaged but still was able to mount it - giving me partial use. I also ran Disk Warrior and was able to salvage some files.
    My good news is that Western Digital is replacing it, no problem. However, I have to send this one back and I want to erase the contents. But now Disk Utility cannot mount it at all and give me this cryptic message: "The Disk, WD500, could not be mounted. Try running First Aid on the disk and then retry mounting."
    My question is, how can I run First Aid when Disk Utility cannot mount it. (I tried booting from my Install disk and running it from there.) S.M.A.R.T status says, failing. All the usual options such as erase, partition, repair are not available, though the drive shows up, in bright red.
    Any suggestions? Thanks.
    Anyone know of a way for me to simply erase this drive before having to return it to WD.

    Hello Noodle-head;
    Disk Utility cannot mount it at all and give me this cryptic message: ...
    So you're having a HD mounting problem, Hmm.
    I have tried selecting both. Neither gives me any options.
    If the HD shows up in the Disk Utility App then there's a way to toast it.
    Whoa! ... Now if I can just find out what a magnetron magnet is...
    Don't bother because the only magnets powerful enough to scrub data from a drive platter are laboratory degaussers or those used by government agencies to wipe bits off media. That's the reason why the Disk Utility App has a '35 Zero-Pass Security Erase' option.
    So you have two choices ...
    Your first choice is to just send it back and don't worry about it. I doubt that WD will try to access your data unless you want them to. It's very expensive to retrieve data on a dead/dying HD. All they will probably do is verify that the HD is dead/dying & send you a replacement.
    Your second choice depends upon your knowledge of Unix, if you have more than one Mac, plus if you have a Windows PC.
    Let me know if you want to 'toast it' or not.
    Later ...

  • Boneheaded Install Leads to "Disk Error"  Can it be fixed?

    I installed windows following the instructions (sort of) but missed the note indicating that I should "format the partition using the NTFS file system." So now I get the infamous (based on the number of related posts I've seen) "Disk Error" message Is there any way I can "unformat" my partition or did I just throw away 25GB of my hard drive?
    Note: unlike some others, I have no trouble starting up the OS side of the house.
    Best,
    David
    but it was unanswered.

    Use the convert fs=ntfs (check on syntax and spelling)
    I think it is safer to keep it NTFS. If you need to write to NTFS, use MacFUSE but be aware that it can or use to interfere with the OS X Startup Disk control panel even recognizing and showing "Windows" entry to change default.
    Use WinClone in OS X to backup if you think you need to or want to restore an image later.

  • Updating Java for my 10.4.11. It tells me that i need to free up space on my start up disk. Can anyone talk me through this.

    Hi all..
    Ive had my mac for quite some time, could say its been abused.. brought 2nd hand. But i do love it!!!
    I dont know a great deal about the software.
    Im trying to update my Java but while doing so it tells me that i need to free up space on my start up disk?
    Please can somebody talk me through this? Many thanks, marc

    It is not worth it.  Java is insecure until you get to 10.5.8.  Read this tip on disabling Java, and why.

    If you should desire to upgrade to 10.5.8, you may be able to, if you have 867 Mhz or higher G4, but that will mean disabling Classic, and other things mentioned here:

  • When burned to a disk i can only hear most tracks through the left speaker!

    alright, i recently recorded a few songs they consist of a looped drumbeat some software and real instruments. I made sure all were panned to the center, but when i listen to it on a cd or on itunes i can only hear a majority of the parts through the left speaker. the part that comes through the right speaker is the looped drum beat. So if anyone has any suggestions or something i just missed please let me know. thanks.
