I cant uninstall my itunes off my computer, i have followed instructions and i still have errors, including error 2330 and redundance cyclic. the only software i have left is itunes.exe and file es.lproj which is located in the ituneshelpresources folder. i recently installed a second hard drive and that let me uninstall everything. I just want to get itunes off my computer and reinstall itunes, i have deleted everything i can and i ran "chkdsk" this did nothing. I would have just updated the oild itunes to the newest version but it didnt ley me do that. installing/ uninstalling or deleting just lets me get half way and shows me these errors. Please help, thank you.

the only software i have left is itunes.exe and file es.lproj which is located in the ituneshelpresources folder.
If the chkdsk isn't fixing the damage, and those are the only iTunes that can't be deleted, try renaming the "iTunes" folder that they are contained in (in your Program files) to iTunesOLD.
Now try another install. Does it go through without the 2330 this time?

What to do if Windows displays an "iTunes.exe - Corrupt File" message

Greetings fellow Podders, Resident Furball here...
It is about time that I produced a single post for all the chkdsk issues that we've been discussing since November 2004. The Apple KB article seems to cover the major points succinctly, but we need to address the more serious variations and flavours of the problem.
<hr>
What to do if Windows displays an "iTunes.exe - Corrupt File" message
Many users are coming across this seemingly distressing error message in Windows when connecting their iPods. As described in Apple KB Article 300554, the message reads:
iTunes: iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
The file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes\????????? is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
and the ????????? can be anything (eg. sysinfo, Temp1, DeviceInfo etc.).
<hr>
Don't panic!
If you do see this, don't worry, and don't panic. Contrary to what the error message reads, this issue actually has very little to do with iTunes. The iPod_Control is the key to this - because this folder doesn't even exist in iTunes... it's on the iPod!
...so! Installing and uninstalling iTunes really won't do you much good at all... it's the iPod that needs attention.
<hr>
What's causing this error?
To be honest, we don't know. We saw a massive number of reports of this issue back in November 2004, because iPod Updater 2004-11-15 contained a firmware bug that corrupted iPod system files when the Pod entered Deep Sleep.
But this firmware bug was corrected in iPod Updater 2005-06-26.
Of late, we have seen a resurgence in chkdsk errors on Discussions. Some of these are caused by the old buggy firmware that people still have. Some of the errors are more serious and are hardware and operating system-related. But we have still to pin down the exact cause of this error.
<hr>
Okay, so what do I do if I see this error?
In short, as Apple have recommended in their KB article:
Restore your iPod, using the latest iPod Updater.
Follow the instructions carefully. Ensure that you download the iPod Updater. Ensure that you install it, and then ensure that you run it with the iPod connected and follow the prompts to the letter.
The broad majority of the errors are painlessly fixed this way. Of course, it does mean that your iPod will be wiped, so make sure that you have your music/data backed up, and/or present in iTunes so you can resynchronise it when you have finished Restoring.
<hr>
Okay, I've Restored, but the error is still coming up
Are you sure you've Restored? Quite a number of folks are assuming that just downloading the iPod Updater is enough. It's not. And neither is downloading iPod Updater, and installing it on your computer. It needs to be implemented on the iPod, according to the iPod Updater instructions.
Okay, so if you have Restored your iPod, and you are still getting this error, then you have a variety of options available.
Chkdsk errors that are not fixed with a Restore are most likely down to two things:
1) A physical issue on the iPod itself
or
2) An issue on the computer's operating system
Here's where it gets woolly. There are a variety of things you could try...
Format the iPod in Windows
This would usually have the same effect as a Restore, but a deep-level format in Windows is something that Apple have recommended in the past, as a last resort to completely wipe the iPod before performing a Restore with iPod Updater. This process wipes the iPod.
To do this:
1) Enable Disk Mode on the iPod. You can do this either in iTunes (which is best), or manually on the iPod itself.
2) Open My Computer and locate your iPod
3) Right-click the iPod and select Format
4) Leave the parameters set at their defaults, and ensure Quick Format is unchecked
5) Hit Format
6) Then Restore your iPod as normal.
Run the Chkdsk utility
You could run the chkdsk utility on your iPod. But Restoring your iPod has the same effect as running chkdsk. Chkdsk does not wipe your iPod.
1) Enable Disk Mode as above
2) Determine the drive letter of your iPod from My Computer
3) Go to Start, Run
4) Type cmd. Hit Enter to take you to the Command Prompt.
5) Type chkdsk /f X:, where X is the drive letter of your iPod. Hit Enter, and any corrupt files are found and corrected.
Run Windows ScanDisk
ScanDisk is the Windows version of Chkdsk. It does not wipe your iPod.
1) Enable Disk Mode
2) Right-click the iPod in My Computer, select Properties
3) Select Tools
4) Select the option to scan the disk for errors
Try changing the Drive Letter of the iPod
Sometimes Windows confuses the drive letters, and this can cause the iPod to be adversely affected. Try the instructions detailed in Apple KB Article 93499 to change the drive letter of the iPod. This does not wipe your iPod.
Try changing Hardware Policies for the iPod
The Hardware Policies in Windows have been known to affect the way in which the iPod connects, synchronises, and disconnects. This does not wipe your iPod.
1) Enable Disk Mode so the iPod appears in My Computer
2) Right-click the iPod in My Computer
3) Select Properties
4) Select Hardware Policies
5) Select Optimize for Performance (instead of Optimize for Removal)
6) Restart your computer.
Contact Apple for a replacement iPod
Some chkdsk issues have been caused by faulty hardware. As a last resort, contact Apple Support by phone to report your issue, and/or request an iPod Service.
If you explain that you have followed all these steps, you should have a strong case for obtaining a replacement iPod.
<hr>
Thanks!
Thank you to everyone for their continued support, kindness and excellent troubleshooting skills here on Discussions. There are countless people that I am deeply grateful to for their assistance in handling this issue. Rest assured folks, you have made me the Discussions Furball that I am today.
Happy Podding folks!
Kind regards,
Gopha.

iPod Updater 2006-03-23 has been released
iPod Updater 2006-03-23 includes iPod Software 1.1.1 for the new iPod and new iPod Software 1.1.1 for iPod nano.
iPod Updater 2006-03-23 contains the same software versions as iPod Updater 2006-01-10 for all other iPod models.
What's new in iPod Updater 2006-03-23:
- Volume limit
- Bug fixes
I have been trying to ascertain from Apple Support Level 2 as to whether the latest iPod firmware improves or provides better resolution for the chkdsk issue. If anyone has been using iPod Updater 2006-03-23 to resolve their chkdsk woes, feel free to post in here just to say how things worked out for you...

HELP NEEDED - iTunes.exe -Corrupt File

I am getting this error message everytime I plug in my iPod to update thru iTunes.
iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
The file or directory/iPod_ControliTunes/TempFile is corrupt & unreadable.
Please run the Chkdsk utility.
So my question is....how do I backup all the songs and playlists so that I do not lose them. And then do I just run the dist that came with the iPod to start it over again and if so do I delete the old Itunes?
Plese help I would like to save the songs, restore iTunes somehow and be able to bring back the songs with nothing lost.

In Windows, the default location of your songs is:
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
Your 'iTunes library' file which hold all playlists, locations of songs, ratings etc. is located in:
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
Copy the complete iTunes directory to your backup device.
That way, you will copy all songs and library information.
After fixing the problem with the corrupt file, put the files back to the location they came from (if necessary).
In my very limited experience with the chkdsk utility, no files were lost, but it is always wise to have a backup in case something goes wrong.
Hope this helps.
M
P.S.
You will probably get more help by posting in the iTunes for Windows forum (this is the Mac forum)

Itune.exe -Corrupt File message

I have an Ipod Nano which has been working fine for a long while.
Today for no apparent reason, I got I got the following error message when I attached the ipod to the usb wire:
"itune.exe-corrupt file
ipod_control/iTune/iTunesPrefs is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility."
In addition, I also get the Ipod Set Assistant dialog box each time I plug in the ipod as if it were the very first time plugging it in.
I tried rebooting the computer (several times) and I also tried reinstalling the itunes software cd and still get the same message and same problem.
Any ideas on how I can solve this problem. It is pretty upsetting

"iTunes:iTunes.exe - Corrupt File" help

When I hook up my iPod to my computer, I run Windows XP Professional on a Dell, I get a message on the bottom righ that reads
iTunes:iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
The file or directory \iPod_Control\Device\SysInfo is currupt
and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
I remember doing this before and nothing happened. iTunes still works, but sometimes when I want to put a CD on my iPod iTunes will act goofy and won't read the CDs, I'll have to restart the program. Any help with this?

hi Eric!
the chkdsk issue isn't usually associated with CD hassles (at least, i don't think it is) ... so if you're still having troubles once you've got this one fixed, try reposting again over at Importing and Burning.
But for the chkdsk, you should first proceed to one of the two classic bodies of work in the field:

ITunes.exe - Corrupt File Please help!!!

Any help is greatly appreciated.

How do i fix an itunes.exe - corrupt file?

need help gettin itunes running again. started up computer, opened itunes, greeted with an "itunes.exe - corrupt file" notice. advises to "run Chkdsk utility", but how? Also lost ipod a few weeks ago, so how else can i fix?

Assuming you have AVG then yes, a second patch has apparently been released to day which may resolve the issue. See this post for general advice.
If you don't see the .itl file extension then don't add it to the filename of the renamed file.
iTunes Library 2012-09-22.itl > iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Library 2012-09-22 > iTunes Library
My advice has generally been aimed at Windows users, but if you have AVG on a Mac and that too suffers from this issue then it is worth nothing that at one point the iTunes Library on a Mac was stored without any extension. If you match the name of the empty library file you are replacing it should work.

Error 344: itunes.exe - corrupt file

New ipod30, error message 344, itunes.exe-corrupt file, plus "file or directory \ipod_control\music corrupt or unreadable. Please run chkdsk".
Is this telling me to chkdsk/defragment my ipod? Defragging my hard drive didn't fix it.

Yes, you need to run chkdsk on the drive letter
allocated to the iPod and you need to use the /F
switch, for example:
chkdsk <iPod drive letter>: /F
Hope that helps.
Hi Bill,

Office Files Will Not Open If Located On A Network Folder

I have installed Office 2010 Professional on a Windows XP SP3 machine. This workstation is a domain member on a SBS 2003 network. My previous version of Office was 2003. When I attempt to open an Excel file that resides in the MyDocuments folder (which on
my SBS 2003 network is re-directed to my server) I get a message from Excel saying "Could not open" with the file name/location following. This happens on files that were originally created with Excel 2003 as well as files created with Excel 2010. I can save
a new file created with Excel 2010 to the network but am not able to open it back up again after closing it. If I go into Windows Explorer and move any Excel file to my C:\ drive I am able to open both 2003 and 2010 Excel files with no problem. This seems
to be related to where the file is located but the settings in Excel 2010 that I tried to adjust did not make it possible for me to open them when they were located on a network drive. What can I do to resolve this to allow me to open files on network (LAN)
drives?
After doing some more research I have discovered that when logging on with another User account on the same workstation I am able to open files normally with Excel 2010 that reside on the network. This user actually has less permissions than the problem
user account. I currently have just this one workstation with Office 2010 installed so I'm not able to test to see if it is related to the user profile on the workstation.
Any suggestions on where to look would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jeff

Hi Chad,
I went through your reply and made the checks/changes that you suggested. So I changed the Reg setting for the Excel registry key and afterwards opened
Excel. Excel opened and I could see the Office splash screen but there was still no animation, just the still Office 2010 graphic with no animation. I checked the folder permissions for the affected user (Me) and they are as follows:
1.
My Username with all Permission Options Checked
2.
Administrators with all Permission Options Checked
3.
Creator Owner with all Permission Options Checked
4.
Domain Admins with all Permission Options Checked
5.
Folder Operators with all Permission Options Checked
6.
System with all Permission Options Checked
I also removed the add ins that were active. I'm still getting the same error message as well as the same error number. I also checked the processes that
run when other users are logged on compared to when I'm logged on thinking maybe something might be causing Office to not be able to see the share folders. Everything was the same for all users of the affected machine. I also logged on locally to the machine
and saved a file made in Office Excel to the My Documents folder (which isn't re-directed for local accounts) and was able to open the file again.
I have worked on the problem workstation most of the evening and just can't come up with a resolution. I appreciate the suggestions you gave Chad. Hopefully
we can find the cause! I'm ready to put this behind me and move on to actually getting to use the new applications!
Thanks,

Check disk utility error message----itunes.exe- Corrpt File

Isn't this a MAC error message not sure why i'm recieving this message. This happen when I attempt to move music from the library to ipod....Please help

Are you saying that you have songs on your iPod that are not in iTunes? If you have been relying on iPod as the sole backup for your music, I think you now understand why it's important to backup your library in some fashion, such as burning data CD/DVD's. When you have to restore your iPod because of an iPod problem, your music is gone.
You can use the following instructions from MacMuse to move the contents of your iPod back into iTunes.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=159372&start=0&tstart=0
Once you are backup & running, PLEASE BACKUP YOUR FILES!
