ITunes has recently began corrupting my music library and my Podcasts. An exclamation mark has appeared at the beginning of a random number of songs and against some Podcasts with the result that they will not play on iTunes. Message is that iTunes cannot

iTunes has recently began corrupting my Music and some of the Podcasts. An exclamation mark appears at a random selection of songs - about a thoussanad of them - and they will not play as iTunes says that it cannot locate the file. This also has happened on a number of Podcasts. Any one else encountered this?

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, if you are running Windows (you've posted in iTunes for Windows, but your sig mentions Mac OS X...), and as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

Itunes has stopped recoginising my ipod when plugged in

Itunes has stopped recognising my ipod when connected .
The ipod logo on the left of the screen no longer appears.
Up to this point it had all worked fine and I have not altered any settings .
This suddenly happened when I was in the middle of buying music from the itunes store.
Itunes recognises all other devices when connected and all cables are working fine.
My laptop recognises my ipod when connected and in all other respects the ipod works fine .

Hello docker474,
The article linked below provides some useful troubleshooting steps that can help get your iPod to reappear in iTunes.

ITunes has stopped synchronizing my iPod Touch. When reserve copying begins, synchronizing just stops. Can you help me, please? I reallu don't know what to do.

iTunes has stopped synchronising my iPod Touch. When a reserve copying begins, sunchronising just stops. Usually. I tried to update iTunes, but this didn't help me. For God's sake, someone, please, help me!

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes, Sync and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Itunes has stopped detecting my ipod nano 7th generation

Hi I have recently bought an ipod nano (7th generation). Initially I connected it to my computer and everything was working fine but it has now stopped appearing when I connect it to iTunes. It connects - the ipod screen shows it is connected - but I cannot sync it or transfer music.
I have tried it on my wife's computer and it works as normal but all my music is on my laptop. I don't know if I need to download a mobile support or something but it's very frustrating. I have the latest version of iTunes on both laptops/
I've followed the steps on the online help but the ipod isn't even appearing in my laptop's device manager. Gratedful for any help

It's working now, apple must have updated itunes that fixed the issue, not sure.

ITunes has stopped recognising my iPod 80GB!

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could please help me.
My iPod wiped itself of all it's music yesterday so i thought I will plug it back in and restore it to it's original settings.
Although Windows still recognises it, iTunes won't.
I have already tried the R's and they didn't work, in fact it had messed up my iTunes now .
Please can someone help me?

After many failed ttempts over the last few days my iPod has started to work perfectly.
I followed the instructions given here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
I then plugged it into my mp3 "mains charger" and re-charged the battery, now it is working fine.
I cannot explain why but maybe it's worth a try?
Let me know how you get on.

My ipod deleted everything it had on it and cannot get any songs stored on the ipod. Itunes has trouble finding my ipod at times, but when it finds it, it won't allow any files i try to put on my ipod stay on their.

I have the ipod classic 160gb and got it just last christmas. For quite awhile, it worked fine for me, but then one day i turned it on and there was no music or videos on my ipod. Battery was charged, the ipod functions well, just no music or videos. I tried connecting to my laptop and it wasnt showing up on itunes, but it was showing up on my computer. I updated my itunes to see if that worked and it did. It seemed to work, so I started putting my songs on it and my videos, and after i would disconnect it from the computer, nothing was on my ipod, again. I did this a couple of times with no result, with resetting it to factory settings 3 times to no avail. My brother told me to try to sync it up with my computer, so I tried that and it didn't work as well. I'm stumped on what to do. Can it be replaced?

When I hover over cover flow it says I have 12851 songs but when I click nothing happens.
When I hover over artists or albums it says 'no artists/albums'.
I can upload again from my CDs but just wondering if there is anything to do. I live abroad so all my CDs are in storage.

Video from ITunes has no audio on Ipod

I have an Ipod 30GB, and I have downloaded several videos form ITunes. About 4 months ago the audio stopped working on the videos and I can't figure out why. The audio on the songs works, but not the video. Any suggestions?

On the iPod main menu, select videos, then select video settings, and turn off "TV Out".

Corrupted ipod

I've recently bought a 60gb ipod with colour display.
I loaded a friends itunes on which went as planned with no problems, however 4 weeks later I'm experiencing a few problems with it.
1. iTunes tells me it has detected a corrupted ipod and recommends I restore it.
2. Seeing as this will erase everything I found some software by Anapod called CopyGear which I was hoping to use to backup the music on my ipod but this too cannot locate any connected ipod device.
It's driving me mad and I don't want to loose the music already loaded. Can anyone help please?

When the iPod becomes corrupt then you have to restore it. This is why it's never a good idea to store music music on the iPod only. That's what your iTunes library is for.
If a third party program cannot detect the iPod, you are stuck, and you'll have to swallow the fact that the music will be lost.

Trying to restore, but iTunes can't find the iPod software

iTunes tells me my iPod is "corrupted" and needs to be re-set to factory settings. When I click the "Restore" button, I get an iTunes error box that says "There was a problem downloading the iPod software for the iPod "iPod". The requested resources was not found". I don't know what to do from here.
I've been through lots of different steps. First, my PC wouldn't even recognize the iPod. So, I changed the settings to get around the hub being automatically powered down. Now the computer recognizes the iPod and iTunes tries to connect to it, but says it has detected a corrupted iPod.
The iPod was working fine a few weeks ago, but when the iPod froze up, my son tried to re-set it and ended up erasing everyting. It has been stuck in this mode ever since then.
Help!

I was able to find an answer by looking at a reply to another user's question. The first step (described in my first posting) was to get Windows to recognize the "corrupted" iPod as a drive. This require me to make a change in the device manager for Windows. Here's the article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301343 This fixed the first problem so that Windows started recognizing the iPod as an unidentified drive.
Next, I needed to reformat the drive. This is where the help from the other posting came in handy. I had to go into "My Computer" and select the iPod "drive". Then, I clicked on "File" and "Format". I deselected both quick format and enable compression and let Windows reformat the drive. After this, iTunes was able to recognize the drive the next time I opened the program. iTunes then prompted me to restore the drive to factory settings and it worked perfectly. I hope this will be helpful to someone else. Good luck!

Error message "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted"

Everything used to work just fine until recently. On my Windows XP Home SP3 laptop, with iTunes (version 9.0.2.25) already open, I connect my 5th Generation iPod Nano and get the following message in iTunes:
"iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod."
If I plug the iPod into the computer without first starting iTunes, the Windows ‘Auto Play’ message comes up immediately then disappears and then the following message appears:
"Your iPod needs to be formatted for use with Windows. Would you like to run iTunes to restore your iPod Now?"
Otherwise, the iPod functions normally when not connected in iTunes. I can play the music, videos, and record videos with no problems.
The troubleshooting steps I took were:
I performed a reset of the Nano by first sliding the hold switch on/off a few cycles, leaving switch off (no orange showing), then pressed and held the Menu + Select button until the Apple logo appeared. Then I tried it in iTunes again; no such luck, same error. I then did a reset again, this time with the iPod connected to an AC power source; still no luck. I tried the reset numerous times and it didn’t help.
Next, I ran the diagnostics by pressing and holding the Menu + Select buttons immediately followed by the Select + Reverse buttons. I stepped through all the diagnostics tests and all tests passed as far as I could tell (there was no errors reported).
After this, I tried it in iTunes again and still no luck.
I even tried the iPod on my Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) machine and it behaved the same way. The version of iTunes on that machine was at an earlier version when I first tried it there. I then upgraded iTunes to the latest version but that didn’t help either.
I can sync my iPod Touch and 2nd gen Nano without any problems.
Sorry about be long winded about this but I am wondering if anyone else may have other suggestions. I want to try and avoid a restore if possible because I have some videos I recorded that I would like to get off the iPod. I’m not concerned about my music files as I have them always backed up but didn’t get the videos off yet.

I am having this same problem with my brand new Mac Pro. It seems to be tied to the computer awaking from sleep (no I am not leaving the iPod connected while sleep... I am referring to waking the computer from sleep and then connecting iPod as opposed to restarting the computer and then connecting the iPod). In other words, if you are getting this error message, try ejecting the iPod, restart your computer, then connect the iPod and see if the error message goes away. For me it does, but I only get one shot at it, if I eject the iPod and then reconnect it, the error message returns. This happens on both iPods I have. I have rebooted (hold menu-select) and gone to disc mode (hold select-play) and the error message remains. The only way it goes away is to reboot the computer, then I get one shot at hooking up an iPod.
I NEVER had nor get this error message when I connect to the Windows PC that I started with. Perhaps the iPod does not like moving from PC to Mac?

When I hook my ipod up to my mac I used to get the Itunes has detected an ipod that appears to be corrupted error message. It would then sync all my song to the ipod but when I ejected it, none of the songs would be on the ipod. Now I hook it up and I get the Mac OS X can't repair the disk error message. Then the spinning colored pinwheel pops up and I can't use iTunes. Please HELP!!!!!!

Sounds like your iPod is broken. Take it to Apple or someone else who repairs iPods and see if you can get it fixed, or get it replaced.

ITunes has detecetd a iPod that appears to be corrupted message - DESPERATE

We have several iPods in th family. 2 iPod Classics, 1 4GB nano. All woking fine until recently. Now when each one is connected we get the same message:
+"iTunes has detecetd a iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore it...."+
I have restored all three iPods and updated their software many tens of times in different sequences.
I have followed all the help forum suggestions and more. Have reinstalled iTunes many times. (before and after registry clean ups.) Have even removed regitry settings for USB upper and lower limits. Have re-installed all USB drivers on teh wintel machine. Have deleted the iPod updater files to force an update to latest iPod s/w version through itunes. Have cleaned registry with some tools I have. Have tried other USB ports. I know the iPods are OK because we have tested them on our MacBook Pro.
It doesn't matter what I do on this windows XP box - The same message always ends up reappearing.
I can't find anything on teh support or forum sites that gives any clue to this.
*Is there anyone out there who has experienced this?*
*I've run out of ideas*
