Help- iTunes corrupted message

Hi
I was using my iPod and iTunes like I regularly do and I have had no problems with my pc. But when I open up iTunes I always get an error message in the corner as soon as I start up saying
itunes.exe- corrupt file
the file or directory \iPod_Control\itunes\temp file 1 is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
I have completely deleted and reinstalled itunes and ipod updater about 30 times and still everytime it starts up there is this error message. I have gone through the i tunes directory and deleted the files called temp file 1 but once I restart itunes it is back to the corrupt message.
Am I doing something wrong? How can this be fixed? I cannot add new songs onto my ipod because of this repeated error message.
Thanks in advance.

Please help with "corrupt" message when first plugging in iPod Video

When I first plug in my iPod video, iTunes launches fine, I see my device and all its contents fine, then receive a message "The iPod "JALF" cannot be updated. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable." It does not seem to affect any functionality, but I was curious what it meant. Thanks.

There's a very comprehensive post by forum member Da Gopha on the iTunes corrupt file message now in the user tips section that you may find useful: kipod: If Windows displays an iTunes.exe corrupt file/chkdsk message

What version of iOS is the new one running? It may need to be updated before you can restore. You can not restore a backup made with a newer version of iOS to a device running an older version.

Need Help: iTunes alert message I do not understand: see pics

I was doing a back-up of my iPad to iTunes and received these 2 alert messages that I don't understand:

Please advise! Thank you!

go to the tabs for each of Movies, TV shows, Books and Tones (in the picture you posted you have the Books tab selected) and check your sync settings. You get this message if you have turned off synching for those areas.
It is a little confusing, if you do not synch books, then it takes away all the books it put on in previous syncs.
If you sync books it will leave on any books that are already there, unless you have removed them from your iTunes library on your computer.
So you are getting the warning because you asked it to sync but had deselected these categories.
You probably thought that you didn't have any new books to sync over, so it didn't need to do that part of the sync. But it doesn't work that way. The sync process looks for what is new, and only transfers the new stuff. But if you say do not synch books (or movies, etc.) then it assumes you wish to remove all previously synched books (or movies, etc.)

PLEASE HELP! - when i go to open up itunes this message appears "This copy if itunes is corrupted or not installed properly" If i remove itunes will i lose all my bac ups?

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

ITunes 10.6.3 corruption message on App downloads

iTunes 10.6.3 corruption message on App downloads
I have recently udated to iTunes 10.6.3 on my Macbook, which is using Mac OSX 10.7.4.
When I try to update my Apps or Download a new song or App the following error message appears: ‘Part of the file seems to be corrupted’.
I have downloaded iTunes 10.6.3 again, but it has not resolved the issue.
Further, in the ‘My App Updates’ page in iTunes all the Apps waiting to be updated have a broken link icon next to them.
Still further, iPhone or iPad 2 will not download the Apps either - I get the same error message.
Has anyone got any ideas how to resolve this issue please?

I have this issue too, and I also have Mac OS X 10.7.4. It will partially download, but then I receive an error showing the file is corrupt:
"The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs."
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Fixed. /Users/x/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/AirKeysInputManager.bundle got corrupted by a badly installed safari extension. Deleting this, then reinstalling adobe air did the trick. I wasn't thorough enough on my first try, it was tricky to find everything associated. I had to look for files in the console log then search for them. Spotlight was missing some deep files, EasyFind worked better for me.

Help! I get a 'cannot connect to iTunes Store' message....

Every time I try to purchase an item and/or download updates from App Store for installed iPhone apps I keep getting a 'Canot connect to iTunes Sore' message.
On top of that, every time I try to sign in on my iPhone, I get just about half way thru with entering my ID user name when poof, I am booted out from signing in!! I can access iTunes on my computer with no prob but not the iphone (version 3G) I have tried everything that has been mentioned to try.... Hard reset, turning on/off my device, network reset, turning my internet router on/off, checking my Apple ID and password online, syncing my device again with iTunes on my computer, and I still cannot access the itunes store on my phone! arrrrrrrgggggh!! This is so annoying!
Can anyone help??
Thanks!

My apps are updating OK. This may be an iTunes/App Store server issue, but you can try restarting the iPad and see if that helps. You can also try quitting the app store, restart and try again,
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

I am getting an 'iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted" message from my 80GB iPod Classic.

I am getting an 'iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted" message from my 80GB iPod Classic. It plays music fine and has 2.5 GB of space left. I get the message on multiple PC's and USB ports. I have tried resetting it and using Disk Mode. Any advice?

In my Computer folder
Right Click the iPod
Select properties->tools->error check
tick both fix filesystem error and surface scan.
Press OK
May take about 2 hours to complete.
PS: dont be in a hurry to disconnect your iPod, as future recurrence will come, as the HD is almost full, do back up your iTunes library, before your iPod HD gives the dreaded fatal Red X sign.
Good Luck!

Cannot connect to/open application to ITune. Messages states that it cannot open "because another user has it open. Ask them to quite and retry." However there is no other user??? Thanks for any help.

You Windows must have different user profile where iTunes is open in that profile. Switch windows user and close the iTunes, then return to your own user profile to open again.

Are you using a proxy or a VPN to connect to the internet? If you are, this is possibly the reason why. I suggest using anothe connection which is not a proxy.

No promises but a System Reset is worth trying:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 162. Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.

Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

This can sometimes be the result of a faulty/damaaged USB sync cable. Do you have another cable you could test it out with?
