Ipod Mini - error H:/ipod_control/itunes/tempfile1 corrupt/unreadable

Hello,
I am continually receiving an error message after trying to update 3 new songs purchased via your music store. Teh error says H:/ipod_control/itunes/Tempfile1 and it mentions that the file is corrupt and unreadable. It recommends I do chkdsk utility but it won't let me due to the corrupt file on my Ipod. Due to this error, I am unable to load new songs. I have had my ipod for over 1 yr now, without major problems and it worked fine yesterday. Can I just delete the file from my ipod?
I would appreciate any suggestions,
best,
~jennifer

Welcome to Discussions Jennifer. Assuming you already have your music safely on your PC, follow this link on how to restore the iPod http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
This procedure will erase everything on your iPod, and allow you to start again, returning your iPod to how it was when new (excluding battery performance, which reduces over time).

IPod Mini error (Delayed write failed)

Whenever I update songs to my ipod mini it copys about 43 songs until a delayed write failed error message shows up. I'm not able to copy more songs. Any help would be appreciated.

I used to get this error:
http://saltypickles.com/itunes.jpg
I never did fix the problem... it didn't matter witch USB port I used I would get that error, sometimes after 10 songs, sometimes after 200... I couldn't reformat with it either. When I posted here about it, I was told to try Firewire, unfortunaly I didn't have any Firewire ports. So I fought with it until I got the music on it.. then I left it alone and bought an iMac... not suggesting to buy an iMac, but I am suggesting it could be the USB ports on your computer. Could be there are not fast enuf (such as USB 1) or they may not be powered... are you using a USB port from a hub? or on the front of your computer? Make sure you have it plugged into one on the back.

Getting message E:\iPod_Control\iTunes\iTunesPrefs corrupt or unreadable

I only bought my iPod three weeks ago, and everything had been running smoothly.
But today while putting a playlist together my whole memory (7 gb) was wiped (it was on the manual update setting) and I cannot explain why.
Now I keep getting the message that file or directory E:\iPod_Control\iTunes\iTunesPrefs is corrupt or unreadable.
When I attach my iPod, it keeps wanting me to register again, which has no effect on the problem at hand. The iPod icon comes up in the source column and my iPod can be updated with what's in my iTunes library and the screen shows that a certain amount of available memory has been used.
However when it is disconnected and I try to use the iPod there are no files on it.

IPod mini not connecting to iTunes correctly

I've been having problems with my iPod mini lately. First it wasn't being recognized by iTunes, then it deleted all the music on my iPod randomly and now it doesn't upload songs. I get an error saying that "the disc cannot be updated or written to." As well when i try and put songs onto my iPod they show up in grey rather then black. Any ideas

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
and
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

How can i sycronize my ipod mini 2nd generation with itunes 11.1.5.5.

Hi,
I found my old ipod mini 2nd generation and I would like to update it
my current version of itunes is 11.1.5.5 and my operating system is windows 7
the original cd doesn´t work anymore.
can anybody please help?
Thanks
Ull

You should definitely not use the very old version of iTunes on that CD.
The latest version of iTunes works fine with my ancient iPod from 2003. It should work with your iPod mini. What happens when you connect it to your computer running iTunes?
The latest version of iTunes may hide the sidebar (along left side of window). If the sidebar is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. If the iPod is working, and there is no problem with the USB docking cable or USB port on the computer, your iPod should appear in the sidebar under DEVICES.

Ipod mini not recognized by iTunes

My iPod mini is recognized by my USB drive and shows up in my computer and device manager says it's functioning properly, but it's not showing up in iTunes, therefore I can't update or restore it. Help.
Also, would I loose all my songs if I had to delete and then reinstall iTunes.

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
Still no joy, see these.

Ipod mini not recognised by Itunes

Hi All,
Have bought a used Ipod mini from ebay as an xmas pressie ro ise with a Windows XP/Vista laptop. when I open Itunes it won't appear under the 'devices' pane.
the ipod came with a usb cable ok but am not sure if I need an additional software cd for the mini as well and where I would be able to get it.
Have tried the 5Rs with no joy and have the latest version of itunes installed.
Any suggestions appreciated

I have just one suggestion left.
Although you might not have the same issue as the title of this article, I suggest you read it.
There could be a problem with loading the 'iPodDriver.kext' file.

Ipod mini skips over downloaded itunes songs only

after downloading songs from itunes, the ipod mini skips over the songs after playing them 3 or 4 times

Make sure you have the newest version of iTunes and iPod Updater, and do a restore with the Updater and resync the songs via iTunes.
Generally skipping purchased songs are related to out of date software and updating and restoring or reputting them back on seems to help.

IPod Mini error, won't update

My 2nd generation iPod Mini recently started acting up on me. Because I've had it for a long time, it is clearly out of warrantee, but it has never given me trouble (good little Mini...), so I'd like to see if I can fix it rather than replace it with a Nano or Video.
After getting a new cd, I plugged in my iPod to update it, since I was going on a trip the next day and wanted the new music. It got most of the way through updating when I got an error: error code 1303. I did some research, and found that it meant that the files were "on different volumes". Being somewhat computer illiterate when it comes to debugging, I figured I'd turn on Sound Check and see if that worked. It didn't. Losing my patience, I restored my iPod, sure that that would have to fix it. I didn't get the error message again, but it updated only 18 songs, of my library of over 900. On a second update, it got 250 songs. On the third and final try, it almost got to 600, but then gave me the same error code again. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

I had the same issue with a backup drive. (error -51) Unfortunately the only remedy I know of is to update the software. Its caused by trying to transfer too much data at once. It sooks but only transfer like 20-100 songs at a time. you wont get the error.
Good Luck!

Ipod mini icon color in itunes is incorrect

The icon of my ipod mini in itunes is incorrect. When i connect the mini to itunes, it shows up as silver, but my mini is green. Is there any way to solve this problem?

Actually, (Not that it matters) I have a green iPod and originally, my icon was silver. When I updated my iTunes and iPod software last time, the icon changed to green. Apparently it was included in one of these updates.
Cheers!

Ipod mini and the new itunes

I just downloaded the new itunes 7.0 or whatever it is and it totally messed up my ipod mini. I don't know if it was just the settings or what. Before I downloaded this i had all of my setting set so that i would manually move songs onto my ipod and I used it as a hard drive. After i downloaded it almost most of my songs stopped working. There is just an exclamiation point with a circle to the left of the songs and they will not play at all. Is there a setting i need to changed back because this totally *****.

Try posting in the iTunes forums, as this is more of an itunes question.
Just a suggestion, cause you will get more help in there.

Ipod mini not recognized by iTunes 7

When I was at my Uncle's house downloading music, I did too many songs at once and it froze...just stopped updating but the iPod summary page still showed up.
Now, on my dell laptop, my ipod is recognized by the USB drive because the drive folder is shown when it's plugged in and it IS charging, but it's not showing up with iTunes. Any clues, anyone? Any help at all would be great.

Also, I just noticed this "record"...when I got back from my uncle's house I had the iPod plugged in before start up and before windows loaded, the computer gave me this. After this I changed the drive to I.

Ipod mini not updating in itunes on emac

my mini wont update on my emac in itunes, we have the latest updates for both ipod and emac itunes etc.....
first it says that the ipod is connected with another lib and if i want to have the ipod use my library (which is the only lib it has ever been updated with)..
then it gets ready to copy and says that the "disk cannot be written to or read from"...
please help i have tried re setting my ipod and the computer and i dont know what else to do!!

See if anything here helps: "-36 or "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod
Failing that try restoring your iPod, this will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings so make sure you have everything backed up. Once the restore is complete it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings

Ipod mini not recognized on Itunes or Windows

I bought my mini in 2005, and I had no problems until last night. I just bought a new song and I plugged my ipod in to update, but it didn't show up. At first Windows recognized it, but then it didn't. My brother has a nano, so I plugged that in to see if it was my computer or my ipod, and Itunes saw it right away. I tried looking at my service options, but when I typed my Serial number in, it said it was not right. I double-checked, and I typed the number in right. What should I do?

MAny people have experienvced this proble mand i seem to remember that buying a firewire cable for your iPod shopuld help
