Windows 8, asked to Scan and Fix

Hi All,
My iPod Classic (160GB) lives in my car, connected to a Parrot handsfree kit. Today it stopped playing music and when I tried to access the device on the Parrot kit it gave a message saying that the software or device was not supported. A few minutes later it then started to play some music.
I got home and plugged it in to my Windows 8 PC, the PC plays a sound to say something has been connected and it said there is a problem with the disk and asks if I want to Scan and Fix it. I know from previous experience that this does nothing to fix issues with iPods.
The iPod was recognised in iTunes and did allow me to sync fine but it didn't appear in My Computer or in Disk Management. It appeared in Devices and Printers as an Apple USB device, not an iPod. In Device Manager it appeared as a USB device but with different information than seen in Devices and Printers and with an exclamation point next to it.
While the iPod was connected and seen in iTunes I tried the follwoing:
CHKDSK (http://yourlocaltech.com/blog/2008/02/24/resolve-vista-scan-and-fix-error-when-p lugging-in-ipod-or-other-devices/ . I found this while searching these forums for help) - it says that the volume can't be opened for direct access.
Update USB device driver through Device Manager - it said the driver is up to date.
Update driver through Devices and Printers - it said the driver is up to date.
Checked for software updates within iTunes - it is up to date.
Reset iPod using Menu and centre button.
I then ejected the iPod through iTunes and plugged it in again. This time the system made a sound to say it could see a new device then made a sound to say a devices was removed. iTunes no longer saw the iPod at this point. After waiting a few minutes it went back to being seen by iTunes and Windows asking me to Scan and Fix.
Is it looking like my iPod is slowly dying or can this be fixed?

Your iPod filesystem is corrupted, so all your music is in the Others segment, but most of the time, Windows, can't successfully move/ remap the bad cluster. (timeouts?)
Do the iPod disk diagnostic on your iPod, as in this excellent earlier post by tt2.
It wont fix your problem, but help us in troubleshooting.

Ipod does not appear in itunes after windows scan and fix

Two days ago, I restored my Ipod classic using Itunes 9.2.0.61. After restoration my Ipod started freezing Itunes and Vista. At a point, I saw a blue screen and my computer forced a shutdown. When it rebooted, Vista kept asking to automatically "scan and fix" problems on my Ipod. Thinking that would solve the "freeze" problem, I stupidly went ahead to have Vista scan and fix my Ipod. Now the freeze problem is gone, but my Ipod does not appear in Itunes. I have tried the five Rs from Apple, but that has not helped. Anyone with a solution?

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

Ipod Classic 160gb keeps getting asked to scan and fix, then freezes

Ipod 160gb classic says that there's an error and would I like to scan and fix it. Either response freezes the message and Itunes, and when reopened won't show my ipod. I've gone into Computer, then right clicked my ipod, choosing properties, then tools, then checked the drive for errors. I've then clicked "automaticlly fix file system errors", and "scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" to see it freeze again with either selected. My ipod shows no music, but the memory is still used up. I can't get it on itunes to delte or add any songs. What do I do?

Windows asking for "scan and fix" on iTunes synch

I just installed a Shuffle (3rd gen) and everytime I hit "synch" I get Windows7 asking can it run scan and fix errors on it. The one time I said yes, it "fixed" files which caused half of my capacity to be unusable "other". I had to reset.
Anyone know what to do?

the fix here worked for me: http://www.futureofrealestatetechnology.com/general-real-estate-technology/resol ve-vista-scan-and-fix-error-when-plugging-in-ipod-or-other-devices/comment-page- 2/
in short open a command prompt and type "chkdsk g: /f"
replace the "g:" with the drive letter of your ipod.
this worked for me.

Do I Want to Scan and Fix my IPOD? (F:) error with vista

After a week and ending up reinstalling vista and itunes I finally got my shuffle to work with itunes....However
I Keep getting this error message up. Itunes and ipod seem to be working fine, just annoying this comes up all the time. If I ask to fix it says there is no problem, and whichever response I give it reappears sporadically, I think every time the shuffle syncs with Itunes. Any ideas?

I am having the same issue with my iPod Shuffle (512MB). I keep hitting No, but is there anything out there to fix this issue? Is there something wrong with my iPod? Please advise.

For the 1st time I am trying to send an iPhoto by email but get an error message "combinations of username and password not recognised" I use the same details to log on to my Sky Mail (yahoo mail ) account . Any ideas?

For the 1st time I am trying to send an iphoto by e-mail but get the error message " combination of username and password not recognised by the server" I use Sky Mail ( yahoo mail) and input the same username and password that I access Sky Mail - have retried many times. Predictably the Sky help desk have no idea. Can anyone help please?

I regret that you're having trouble setting up your email, corbad! You're on the right track with your incoming email address. You might also try incoming.verizon.net or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as possible alternatives, and 995 as the port number. Please let me know how that goes!

Have you recharge the battery for at least 2 hours, or just leave it connected for 4 hours?
(When you replaced the Hardisk, you should also replace the battery.)
Some other iPod SSD sites, says that you may have to format the CF in FAT32, as Mac dont read NTFS drive so if Windows is the 1st PC that your CF is connected, it may be formatted to NTFS.
You can try erasing the CF using Disk Utilty, so that Mac can recognise it. (but not Windows)
Have a nice day!

I just downloaded Mountain Lion and everything is working great. But i keep getting an error in the app store and i can't download 'Pages"

I just downloaded Mountain Lion and everything is working great. But i keep getting an error in the app store and i can't download 'Pages' or any other apps. I keep getting an "error" and it says credit card processing is temporarily unavailable......help

Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Launch the App Store. See if that made a difference...

Hi sahgin,
The issue eventually resolved itself, I still don't really know why. I kept up with Windows update, and attempted downloading iTunes again from the Apple website, and it just... worked. It now works fine. I don't know why it took approximately 4 months to work, though.
I'm sorry I don't have any more helpful information. Posting here was my last resort, and clearly Apple never bothered to reply.
