Everytime I connect my ipod touch and ipod shuffle I get a 'scan the drive' message but altho I click repair driver it never works...how can I resolve this?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

IPod Nano Error Message (-48)

I've just got my NEW iPod Nano (Red 4GB) out of the box and when I connected it to iTunes I keep getting the Error Message "Unable to update iPod Bob Error Message (-48)."
Despite the (-48) Error Message the iPod does seemingly update Songs/Photos etc.
I have got a 60GB Video iPod and a new Black iPod Nano (8GB) and have no problems with either of them.
Does anyone know what Error (-48) is????
Thank you in advance!
Bob

I have just got back from the Regent Street Apple Store - the trip took 5 hours (I live way outside of London) and cost £35 in fares (thanks Apple!)
I met with a guy from the iPod Genius Bar - and there is indeed a "problem" with Error (-48) which Apple are fully aware of. I took my iPod Nano (4GB Red) which DOES have this problem and my iPod Nano (8GB Black) which does not PLUS my iBook so the guys at Apple could see for themselves the problem I am having.
It seems they are aware of the problem - but could offer NO solution at this time and Apple are definaitely working it! They took data dumps of my iTunes / Mac Configuration etc. and details of both Black and Red iPods (serial numbers etc.)
They were very helpful - and advised me to keep the Red 4GB and sit tight until the Update/Patch to solve the problem is available from Apple.
I was one of MANY turning up at the Genius Bar that day with the SAME problem!
So - there are no quick / sure solutions to this one - I guess we have to wait for Apple to release the fix.

I have an iPod nano v4 or 5 and when I connect it to my Hyundai Santa Fe I get an iPod loading error message. The cable came with the car when I purchased it and the dealer was able to get it to work with his newer ipod. Please advise.

Hi Bander Bunny!
I have a couple of articles that should be able to help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. You may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes first. This has to be done in a specific manner, and this article can help you do that:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
Another option is that you may want to try syncing your iPod nano manually. Here's is an article that pertains to manually managing the content of your iPod nano:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
It's also possible that this issue resides with your iPod nano. Here is a website that will help you troubleshoot the iPod nano:

How to solve this problem?
Thanks

I Googled, and Sony says that is a discontinued model, so I can't find a specification page
Amazon does have a couple models, and BOTH say motherboard integrated Intel graphics adapter
That makes me think the laptop discussed here has Intel AND AMD graphics adapters
To the OP (Original Poster) Go to the Windows Control Panel and select Hardware and Sound and then select Device Manager... In Device manager you click the + sign to the left of Display Adapters... and see if 2 are listed
If YES, read below

Every time I plug in my ipod an error message 42404

Every time I plug in my ipod an error message 42404. I have un and re installed itunes over 5 time and I have re set the factory setting on my ipod so now I dont have any music on it at all. Help please.

Hello Rach 27,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to sync your iPod nano. I recommend following the link in step 2 below for Error 42404:
"Error 42023" through "Error 42408"
These alerts might occur when trying to authorize iTunes or during launch when iTunes checks for authorization information.
Install the latest iTunes from apple.com/itunes/download/
Remove the SC Info folder.
If that does not resolve the issue, see iTunes: "Error 42408" or "Error 42404" after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3.

Hi,
Did you manage to sort this ? I have now had this error 21 message for days. I have tried everything bar uninstalling itunes and reinstalling it ?
ANy help would be grately appreciated !!

Getting a "driver error" message when syncing

The trouble started when my iPod keep getting hung up on a few songs, or would only play half a song, or skip over a bunch of songs. They guy at the apple store said I should wipe it and install the latest iPod software - which is did.
At the same time I moved my iTunes and entire library from my hard drive at work to an external hard drive. Once I successfully moved iTunes and my music I tried syncing my iPod to iTunes and it uploaded about 400 songs and then I would got a message "the drive is not ready for use; it's door may be open. please check drive f: and make sure that a disk is inserted and that the drive door is closed" I took my iPod to the apple store and they tried it on their PC there and it worked just fine. I mentioned that I my computer was a USB1 and the apple guy said that might be the problem - so I installed a USB 2 drive on my computer, but still go the same error.
I have tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling (the suggestiong of the guy at the apple store on my second trip there) I have tried to install both my iPod and iTunes on 2 different computers (and different windows operating systems - 2000 and XP) and still get the same problem. I don't think it is the external hard drive because a colleague at work is using the same set up successfully. But just in case it was I move everything back to my hard drive and tried it again, with the same problems.
Initially I could load about 200 songs as a time before I got and error, now I can't even load 20. I have tried only putting a couple hundred of songs on my iTunes at one time and then syncing, but still the same problem.
Sorry for the long question, but I just don't know what to do next.

This is an add on to my original question.
I was prompted by iTunes to restore my iPod which I did. It seem to be working OK until I got this error message.
"Attempting to copy to the disc failed. The disk could not be read from or written to".
Any ideas?

GEAR driver error message when trying to install iTunes on Vista

The error message I am getting is as follows:
"Unable to install the GEAR driver set at this time. The GearAspiWDM service used by the GEAR driver set is scheduled to be deleted during the next system reboot. Please reboot the system and run iTunes again."
I have followed all the instructions for completely removing iTunes and trying again. I have also tried to install the Quicktime/iTunes package. Nothing is working!! My son got this iPod shuffle as a reward for doing great on his SOL tests and he hasn't even been able to enjoy it yet because I can't get iTunes to install! Please help!!

The GEARAspiWDM service use by the GEAR driver set is scheduled to be deleted during the next system reboot.

IPod/iTunes Error Messages

One night after resetting my iPod (because it was stuck), it I had 0 songs, 0 podcasts, 0 videos, you get the message. However, it still showed the iPod to be 3/4 full. I went to iTunes and restored it, and now it won't take more than 20 gigs. If I end it before that, it plays ok. If I let it go past that amount I get the following error messages: ATTEMPTING TO COPY TO DISK "SCOTT" FAILED. THE DISK COULD NOT BE READ FROM OR WRITTEN TO. Then it says: THE iPod "SCOTT" CANNOT BE SYNCED. AN UNKNOWN ERROR OCCURRED. (-1303).
Anybody have any ideas? Is there damage on the hard drive? Do I need to replace it, it's only 6 months old. Would the Apple store be able to erase the hard drive better than iTunes can?
Thanks.

Apple stores can restore the iPod on their computers... you'd have to restore it again on your own computer to reformat it for use with Windows once you got it home.
Have you tried changing the iPod's drive letter?

Click wheel iPods trigger error message

let me just start this off by saying I'm on my 2nd click wheel iPod right now. my first one, as well as it's replacement, kept triggering this error in iTunes whenever transferring songs to them.
my replacement one did this right out of the box, at least with my original I got a few months out of it before it started throwing errors at me and freezing my G5. just a few days ago, the replacement one totally restored itself. it kept skipping & freezing between tracks, so I did a "soft reset", turns out it was a reformat with a nice little error icon that told me to visit Apple's support site.
as a test, I plugged my sister's iPod nano in and dropped a bunch of music onto it, works perfectly. I also have not had any issues with my Shuffle. I recently asked my friend who has a PowerBook and a 5th gen iPod and he's never had any problems. is it just me, or does anyone else have a click wheel iPod that doesn't play well with a newer system?
I've done all that I think I possibly can without actually taking the thing apart. I have all the latest software, updaters, etc. I've restored with DU, so what's the deal Apple? why is the death toll on these click wheel units so high? what causes them to completely lock up your dual-core dream machines?
anyone who's experienced anything similar, or would just like to vent, please feel free.
Dual-core PowerMAC G5 2.0ghz 2mb RAM Mac OS X (10.4.7)

yes I have, and thank you for the suggestion. I have all the latest software on both...the iPod itself has been restored, and my machine has been updated via SU. I can't think of any program on my machine that would interfere with iTunes. I do not run any antivirus or spyware programs. I also repair disk permissions regularly on my machine, especially after any software update.
what leads me to believe that the replacement iPod is bad is that my iPod Shuffle and sister's iPod Nano both worked flawlessly when I tested them. my original iPod that I sent back never acted up, I was able to add 3000 songs to it without any freezing or errors of any kind. it was about a year into having it that I started experiencing problems with it freezing my machine and spewing error messages. then the dreaded "grinding" noise that you never want to hear come from any drive began to become an everyday occurrence. this replacement iPod isn't even 6 months old, which leads me to believe that Apple slapped me with a refurb. if that's the case I am very disappointed.

More precise JDBC driver error messages?

Hi,
is there a way to tell the Oracle JDBC driver (9.0.2.3) to provide more detailed error messages in an SQLException message string when a table cannot be found? The usual message "Table or view does not exist" does not provide information on the actual table or view that was missing. I would like the table or view name to be included in the message provided by the SQLException.
(In general I would appreciate more detailed error information in the Oracle JDBC driver exception messages.)
Best regards Uwe

perhaps this might help:
* Get error message of an SQLException with the following form:
* 
* <code>Code=<Vendor-specific error code>:'<error message>':SQLState=<SQLState></code>
* <code>
* Note: SQLState "S1000" is returned for general errors or if driver does not support SQLState.
* @param sqlException SQLException to create error code from.
* @return Specific error message or null if sqlException not available.
public static String toString(SQLException sqlException) {
String result = null;
if (sqlException != null) {
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
while (sqlException != null) {
sb.append("RDBMS Vendor Code ");
sb.append(sqlException.getErrorCode());
sb.append(": \"");
sb.append(sqlException.getMessage());
sb.append("\" : SQLState=");
sb.append(sqlException.getSQLState());
sqlException = sqlException.getNextException();
result = sb.toString();
}//else: input unavailable
return result;
}//toString()
 * Get string representation of a SQLWarning.
 * @param sqlWarning

Cannot update iPod 5G, error message appears.

When I try to update my 30GB iPod, it always displays an error message saying, "The iPod cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (1417)."
Does anybody know what this means and how to solve it?

Some people have had success trying the fix mentioned here.
Error 1417/1418.
Could you also take some time to pass some information for the Apple Engineers? Please copy and paste these questions into an email, make the subject of the email "iPod error report", add your answers, and send the email to Roy at Apple.
1. What error code are you seeing?
2. When are you seeing it (restoring or updating your iPod)?
3. Which iPod do you have?
4. What version of Windows do you have?
5. What Windows service pack do you have installed?
