Ipod cannot be updated!!! please help

Songs on the ipod "Robbo's iPod" cannot be updated because all of the playlist selected for syncing no longer exist
I presume its a problem that can be very easy to resolve, well atleast i hope so..
Can any one help as i currently have no songs on my ipod now

Choose New Playlist from the File menu in iTunes, and use the instructions in this article to add that playlist to the playlists set to be synchronized to the iPod, or change the iPod's synchronization mode.

    I am getting the same error statement, after my ipod seems to update. The ipod actually does update adding recently added songs but the album artwork for some of them is wrong, even though it is correct in itunes. After itunes says ipod update complete the "ipod cannot be updated. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable" message appears. Did you ever fix this problem, if so how?

  • Message: songs cannot be updated -PLEASE HELP

    Even though my library is full, this message appears when I try to update my mini: "songs on the ipod 'rachel's ipod' cannot be updated b/c all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist." I just tried to sync and it wiped out all of the songs on my mini. Creating a new playlist from the library didn't help either. The only playlists I deleted were limewire songs. Any ideas?? Thanks!

  • Songs cannot be updated please help!

    I am receiving an error message every time I plug in my iPod. It says...Songs on the ipod "The Pod" cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist. I only started getting problems once my itunes library surpassed the capacity of my 30 GB video iPod. All of the music is still in my itunes library and I simply wished to only copy the checked items to the ipod. However, itunes automaticaly created some type of a master playlist that I immediately deleted only due to the fact that I don't use playlists at all.
    Now I cannot copy any music to my iPod and everything has been deleted from it...I cannot use the restore setting in itunes nor change any of the main preferences for the actual iPod. Please Help.

  • "Ipod Cannot be Synced" -Please Help!!!

    I must have spend hours reading forums and discussion boards trying to fix this.. No matter what I do to my Ipod or computer I get a "(My) Ipod could not be synced. Required disk could not be found." Please help me out!!

    Sorry, I see your on a Windows machine. You would need to go to an Apple Store and plug it into a Mac. Then open the Disk Utility in the Utilities folder, select your iPod and click on Repair Disk.
    Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
    I take it you tried resetting and/or restoring your iPod?

  • My ipod cannot be updated because there is not enough space... (Please help

    Hello,
    I was updating my playlists and I see that I still have
    4.84 GB left on my ipod to fill. Even if I try to add 1 song to my ipod it states: "My ipod cannot be updated because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the selected playlists."
    Shouldn't I have enough room for more songs with 4.84GB left? I thank you in advance for anyone's time & help.
    Sunny regards,
    William

    Auto update playlist and music. I tried waht you sugested earlier, and it gave me a diferent message. I have it working, I moved one of the folders out of the iPosd_Control and I am able to see the list in iTunes. One of the songs in the folder could have been corrupted. I thank you for your help. I still do not understand the multi folders. This is a good one for anyone else who gets that message.

  • IPOD CANNOT BE UPDATED ON PC --- HELP!!!

    I've got a problem when I try to transfer new songs from itunes onto my ipod shuffle on my pc. The whole thing seems to be working ok, until I get a message saying "Ipod cannot be updated--an unknown error occurred (-36)". What should I do? I've downloaded ipod update, but that hasn't helped. Please get back to me in this forum or email me on [email protected]
    Thanks
    Russell

    hi Russell!
    "Ipod cannot be updated--an unknown error occurred (-36)".
    are you using an itunes version 4.9 or earlier? with versions 5.0.0.35 or greater, that error code usually shows up as a "disk cannot be read from or written to" error.
    the same treatments for the "disk cannot be read from or written to" apply to the -36:
    "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod
    (indeed, this article used to be called "-36 error when syncing ipod ...")

  • My iPod cannot be updated! Plz help!

    I'm using a 30-GB iPod with Video, bought May 06 in Japan. It can't be updated for 1 month so far. I still can update songs into my iTunes properly, while songs in iTunes can't get into my iPod. I've tried to reset iTunes and iPods in my PCs for several times, but the problem can't be solved. Error message is "The iPod cannot be updated. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable". Can anyone show me how to settle the problem? Thank you guys. Van Anh

    Oh, I don't think my iPod's being not updatable due to iTunes 7.0 on Windows XP. The error message "Your iPod cannot be updated. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable" also appears with my at-home PC which runs original iTunes 6.1 (the Apple running disk went with my iPod). I've come to realize that Folder "Photos" in the iPod may be the reason? I deleted pictures in it once, and since then, I can't add new photos, together with new songs from my iTunes library into iPod. When I double-click the Photos folder, the message "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable" also appears. How can I fix it? I've reset my iPod but failed to fix the problem. Don't anyone of you meet the same matter? Plz help! Thank you guys.

  • "ipod cannot be updated...required file in use" error message HELP!

    So I just updated my itunes with the new 7.0 and everything works great, except-- every 10 mins or so, I get this error message "The ipod "xxx's ipod" cannot be updated. The required file is in use."
    Nothing happens, I just have to click "ok", but its really annoying. And it pops up again in a few minutes.
    I seem to remember this happening before on another update but I don't remember what I did.
    Anyone else experiencing this or know what to do?
    Thanks!!

    I am having the exact same problem -- Itunes version 7 update seems to have created this issue. I get this error message about every five minutes if my Ipod is plugged into my computer, "Ipod cannot be updated. Required file is in use." Super annoying. I noticed a solution posted on this forum but it doesn't seem to work for Macs. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Install goes fine but when I connect Ipod it begins to update from itunes but after about 9G or 2500 songs it says complete (I have over 7500 songs). When I go to update again I get the error message "The iPOD cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to." Please help!

    Well it was worth a try...after restoring iPOD, set it up and started auto download from iTunes...once again, everything seemed to be going fine...got up to 2615 songs and it started slowing down while updating ipod and ipod statred making little noises..at 2636 songs it said ipod update complete..my ipod still said do not disconnect so I ejected and still said same thing..no songs updated although it said they had.....reconnected and only 5 songs shoed...clicked on update again and got the message "windows delayed write failed..windows was unable to save all the data for the file G: the data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. please try to save the file elsewhere....the other message that i have been getting is "This ipod Neil's Ipod cannot be updated.

  • ERROR MESSAGE: The IPOD cannot be updated.

    Please help!! Have tried everything can think of including, resetting, retrying, restarting, reinstalling and restoring. ITunes automatically starts downloading when you connect but then only transfers the first 50 or so songs in the library, and then says update complete. When you ask it to then update the IPOD through file menu an error message comes up saying 'The IPOD cannot be updated, the disk could not be read from or written to.' There is no problem with the IPOD, because I have been able to update it via another PC, it just won't update via the laptop even though the ITunes has been set up on the laptop as the ITunes I want to use.
