Ipod cable connection failed; also think Ipod file may be corrupted.

I was able to purchase and download a song from ITunes today.
It got to the hard drive, and then I was able to transfer it to the Ipod.
But when I tried to play it, the screen froze.
When I turned the computer off and turned it back on, I got an error message, something liked "dirty pool" and it said that Windows was being shut down.
I turned the computer on again and couldn't get Windows to boot until I removed the USB cable.
Since then, I cannot get the IPod to work.
The computer is not showing that the Ipod is connected to it.
When I run diagnostics, I get a "failed" message (a red dot) next to "Ipod connection cable".
I have plugged the USB into at least three USB ports and get the same error message.
I have tried pushing various combinations on the Ipod to get it to turn off, as well as toggling the Hold button. It will not turn off.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes twice.
Because the computer doesn't "read" the Ipod, I cannot reset it or resync it. The Ipod is not listed under "devices" in ITunes.
When I downloaded the song, there was a CD game in the CD player. It was automatically ejected at some point, I think it was after I tried to get the Ipod to work. I fear that may have corrupted the Ipod or something in the computer.
Do I have any options, other than taking the Ipod in to be fixed? I just bought this on Saturday.

Scratch that. I was able to fix it with the help of a good friend.

    I have been trying to share file between my Mac Book Air and PC Laptop.Sometimes my Mac sees the PC and tries to connect but every time the connection fails. It says server may not exisit or network problem. I have apparently no network problem. Thanks for any help you may provide

    hi,
    somewhere on the windows machineshould be something like "network setup wizard". exactly where it is and what it is called i cannot remember off the top of my head, windows help is actually slightly useful here, it should have a link to it.
    all the options checked on the mac are only what services the mac is offering to other machines, they have nothing to do with the services it can access (mostly...).
    oh yeah, to actually connect to the pc after you have turned its sharing on, use the finder, or, when it does not show the pc (this happens on and off, possibly a refresh problem apple...) choose go --> connect to server and enter smb://<pc's name or ip>
    to find the ip, the easiest way i think is
    start --> run --> cmd ->> ipconfig

  • File may be corrupt ore not recognised by Powerpoint

    My bosses powerbook, suddenly does not want to let him move some pictures from iphoto into powerpoint or word. It comes up with the message
    'The file may be corrupt, in use, or of a type not recognised by Powerpoint'.
    This is even on pictures that previously could be moved over ok. a number of pictures are ok, but new ones, which are from a new camera (none of these work), and some of the old ones don't transfer. I can look at all the the pictures ok in iphoto, preview, but can't in Office. If I open a problematic picture in Preview, and then 'save as' and overright the existing picture, then it will import it into Office programmes ok.
    Has anyone else encountered something similar? Help!
    I'm using Office X version 10.1.6
    Justyn

    I don't think it's a permissions issue or you'd get a different message but try manually reset the ownership and permissions for the iPhoto Library folder as follows:
    Setting Permissions for iPhoto Library Folder
    1 - Select the iPhoto Library folder and type Command-I.
    2 - When the Info window comes up go to the Ownership and Permissions section and make sure You have Read & Write permission and that the Owner and Group have Read & Write also. Others - Read Only.
    3 - Then click on the "Apply to enclosed items..." button.
    When you export a photo to the desktop can it be move it from there OK? Move one to the desktop and bring up the Info pane on it, Command-I. Then under "Open with" set Preview as the default application. Then click on the "Change all" button. Good luck.

  • "This file may be corrupted"     error= -100000 help?

    Edit MyProject01 on day one, at end of the day "save as" MyProject02

    Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
    If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:

    PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.

  • The file may be corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum.

    I just put Vista Home Premium on a computer I was going to give to my son. Upon adding some hardware I kept getting the above screen. "The file may be corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum.' When I booted in safe mode and slow boot, it hung on crcdisk.sys. I removed everything except the keyboard hhd dvd and fdd and it still does the same thing. I tried to reinstall Vista but it keeps hanging. From reading a lot of other threads this seems to be a big problem. I doubt if the product should have been marketed. But.... If anyone can help me get it booted I would like to try XP instead. I tried to install XP on the same drive and it hungs there too.

    Hi ballen6721,

    Method 2: Startup Repair from the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE)
    ============================================
    1. Insert the Windows Vista installation disc into the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when the message indicating "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD …". appears.
    3. Select a language, a time and currency, and a keyboard or input method, and then click Next.
    4. Click Repair your computer.
    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, choose the drive of your Windows installation and click Next.
    6. At the System Recovery Options Dialog Box, click on Repair your computer.
    7. Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.
    8. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Startup Repair.
    Method 3: Use the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) to run System Restore ============================================
    1. Insert the Windows Vista installation disc into the disc drive, and then start the computer.
    2. Press a key when the message indicating "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD …". appears.
    3. Select a language, a time and currency, and a keyboard or input method, and then click Next.
    4. Click Repair your computer.
    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, choose the drive of your Windows installation and click Next
    6. At the System Recovery Options Dialog Box, click on System Restore.
    7. Follow the System Restore Wizard instruction and choose the appropriate restore point.
    8. Click Finish to restore the system.
    Note: If you computer is an OEM one, the method to enter WinRE can be different, you may contact your OEM to consult how to enter WinRE.
    Can we start the computer now?
    If the issue persists, please help confirm the following points:
    1. What hardware changes have you made recently?
    2. Can we enter Safe Mode now?
    I look forward to hearing from you.
    Best regards,

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

  • Error 1418 / Itunes detected an Ipod that may be corrupt / "Autoplay"

    I've now spent many hours researching these 3 subjects in the discussion groups and I'm still one of many without a resolution to them. I think I've tried everything to get my 5th generation, 13 month old Ipod loaded with music again but without success.
    It all started when my Ipod stopped playing between songs while I just sitting at a table waiting for dinner - no drop, no abuse, no physical harm. I can't remember exactly what I did next but I think I couldn't get it to reset. So, I plugged it in to the computer and tried to restore it.
    Restoring it, of course, erased all the music off of the Ipod, but then when it was reseting, a search window titled "Autoplay" appeared in Windows. (now, every time I connect my Ipod to the PC this Autoplay window opens with the little search flashlight)
    Itunes then says that it "detected that my Ipod may be corrupt."
    I tried to restore a couple times and occasionally get the error message "1418" - that the Ipod cannot be restored.
    A couple postings suggested formatting the Ipod drive in My Computer. Unfortunately, when I open My Computer and right click on the removable drive (the ipod) My Computer either stops responding or the little drop down menu appears. But, when I get the drop down window and select format or open, nothing happens. Can't modify "autoplay" settings there.
    I've tried fixing/updating/restarting USB drivers, restoring from another PC, updating Itunes and Quicktime software and doing the trick with the appleipod.bat file. Even tried another Ipod cable.
    Here's a couple error messages generated from the Diagnostics feature in Itunes (It failed):
    [SERVICE: 0x60C,10:28:51 ERROR] Did not find first letter of stage
    [SERVICE: 0xFE8,10:29:01 INFO] [1] iPod needs formatting...
    [SERVICE: 0xFE8,10:29:01 ASSERT] Assertion failure: 'rtcTime->isDST != 0' [File: .\DeviceManagement\iPodDevice.cpp, Line: 770]
    [SERVICE: 0xFE8,10:29:01 INFO] [1] *** MOUNT FAILED - Non-FAT32 device, device session 0
    [SERVICE: 0x60C,10:34:43 INFO] [1] PHYSICALLY DISCONNECTED!
    [SERVICE: 0x5E4,10:35:28 ERROR] device number 0 exists, but isn't in m_objDeviceNumberMap!
    just to point out a few.
    When the Ipod is disconnected from the PC it appears to be working just fine - but no music, of course. I really don't know what else to try. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I'm at a dead end.

    My ipod also is searching for autoplay and the itunes diagnostics also indicates a problem showing connection status as "failed". However the Network diagnostics indicates the connection is fine and I have downloaded music but can't get podcasts to show up as "sync"-ed under any heading:podcasts, movies, videos, music, etc. I have followed every direction/suggestion/idea I can find and so far, no change...
    This is a new ipod for me, but not a new ipod. any ideas?

  • JCo connection fails / entries in 'services' file

    Hi all,
    I am in trouble when I create my JCo : ping and test both fail for the metadata JCo (the modeldata is OK because I am not using load balancing on it). I know I have to create the following entry in the 'services' file of the J2EE server :
    sapms<SID> 36<sysNumber>/tcp
    But the server administrator doesn't want to do this because there is already an entry pointing to the same port number, and he thinks that may cause trouble if 2 entries point to the same port.
    What do you think of this ? If you can't have to entries with the same port, how can you connect to 2 different backend with the same instance number ? I guess this is quite a common issue.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Julien

    Hum...
    I tried to write an entry with a port number that is not used in the file.
    The last line of my etc/services file now looks like
    sapmsDIA  3677/tcp
    and the instance number is 00
    And it does not work.
    I had a look in the SLD and I saw that a message server port had been defined when the WAS ABAP technical system was created. Maybe the value has to be the same in the SLD and in the etc/services file ? Should I try to delete and recreate the technical system in the SLD with a different ms port number ?
    Anyone ?

  • Anyone have an iPod file that is corrupted  (TVZY.m4a or 1108.m4a)

    I do and therefore i cannot put anything on my iPod and it only shows up in My Computer not iTunes restore does nothing and it did happen BEFORE the 1.2 update so Does anyone know what I can do? I have the 30gb. ipod w/video. I paid $320 for it and I do not want that to go to waste.
    :(PLEASE HELP ME:(

    When music files and video files are added to the Ipod, the name is changed. The extensions you listed m4a are song file extensions. Now, why the name change to the files on the iPod, it is either Apple language or copyright protection for the files you add to the iPod.
    Truse me though, look for those files (use the search companion for those file names and delete them off your iPod).
    Post back to let me know if it worked or not. I have this posting set to email me with replies.
    Good Luck.
