ITunes & Music Files on iPod Nano Corrupted after Update to iTunes 7.0.1

I updated to latest version of iTunes. Now I can't load my music onto it, since iTunes won't recognize it. I have tried all recommended fixes by Support website. So, I looked at the files on my iPod. I can't access either the iTunes file or the Music file. Windows tells me they are corrupted. It also tells me to run "chkdsk".
Three questions:
Should I run chkdsk?
How do I run chkdsk?
If chkdsk fails, can I go into DOS and erase these two files on my iPod? (I think that I can remember how to do that!)

Hi,
Hahahah, You are using the right word "seem" and in fact I am not a particularly bright guy on the discussions, there are plenty are smarter than me.
Make the long story short, let deal with your issue.
Firstly, make sure you login as administrator (not a guest) in XP, go and download the iTunes from here
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
How to login as administrator, start>control panel>user accounts>click you account to change>change my account type>tick computer administartor

Thoroughly angry and frustrated. I've run out of room and need to make more to add more songs. Once and for all, how do I, if I even CAN, delete music from my iPod Nano WITHOUT losing them from iTunes?

You should take the time to familiarize yourself with the documentation that is available. You can "uncheck" a song in iTunes, and then do a manual update.

Music Plays on iPod Touch won't update to iTunes 10.5

number of music plays on ipod touch won't update to itunes 10.5

Unfortunately, I do not have a solution to this problem; however, I am experiencing the same thing. However, my iPod Touch is new. It will not play any of the DRM-protected content that I purchased previously; however, it will allow me to purchase content with my Apple account, so it is certainly "authorized," as it were. I guess I will try to reset it, but I doubt it will work.

I need to get the music off my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN onto either ITunes or in a music foldes on my new computer. Not all the music was purchased from Apple Itunes HOW DO I DO THIS WITHOUT LOOSING ALL MY MUSIC??

I have not had a computer for several years and I just got a new one. My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. Thank goodness I had it all on my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN. Now my problem is that I don't know how to get the music off my Ipod Nano onto my new computer!!! I was able to get the songs that I purchased thru ITunes by just authorizing my new computer. But I have alot more music that is on my Ipod nano that I can't put into my ITunes library. In fact, I can't even get my music into a file folder on my computer!! I really need help. I don't have any copies of the music anywhere else and some of it is hard to get. How do I get my music either into ITunes or into a file folder on my new computer or even if I could get my computer to recognize my Ipod and sync all the music into windows media or something like that. Every time I connect my IPod all that happens is that it tells me if I sync the IPod that it will replace all the music from my ITunes library on to my IPod. And I am guessing that means all my music on the IPod will be erased. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Thanks from the bottom of my songsters heart

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

IPod Nano corrupted by updating the OS and all my music has been lost!!!!!!

I downloaded iTunes 7 today and connected my nano. It said I should update the OS so I downloaded and installed the Operating System update. After doing so the nano restarted itself and when it reconnected itself I received the following message. "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."
I tried reconnecting the iPod and I received the same error message.
I disconnected my iPod to see if any of my music was still on my iPod and it was all gone. This would not be so aggrevating if I had not just spent about $90 on music that is no longer on my computer because my computer had a nervous breakdown.
So I lost $90 worth of music because of this update! There is no phone number, email address, or anyway of getting touch with an Apple Support person that I can find. Anyone know?
I hope something is done to remedy this problem!

Still not resolved, even worse now. The nano was all messed up last time I tried to use it, now it won't turn on, nor will it connect to my computer. I'll be calling that number today.

I lost all the music on my ipod nano trying to sync with itunes. Can I retrieve the songs?

I tried to sync my iPod music library into my newly downloaded iTunes last. Before I knew it, thje music was gone! It not on iTunes or the iPod(Nano 4th) Is there any way to retrieve the music? Thanks in advance for your time.

Your question makes little sense. Please explain

How can I safely transfer my 125GB of itunes music files to free up space, but still keep itunes on my MBP, and access the music with the cloud and match?

I have already backed up all the itunes files on two different external drives. And I have already set up icloud and itunes match. I am still paranoid about deleting the files from my MBP, but I need to free the space. What steps should I take to delete the files. And can I still keep itunes (w/o all the music files) on my laptop and access the music from the cloud? I know I can run them with the external drive plugged in, but looking for a way to do it w/o pluggin in.

I have tried that as well. The purchased songs are not in my playlists and they are still there. I manually deleted them on the phone but the sync puts them right back on there.
I only sync playlists and they aren't on there.

IPod wont work after update! iTunes wont see it! Help???!!!

Hi
After updating the updater my iPod is no longer recognised by itunes. When i plug my ipod in it says do not disconnect and is recognised by the computer, but not itunes. The updater window comes up saying i need to update but it will only give me the option to restore. I have done this. I have tried resetting also, but this doesn't work. I have uninstalled the updater, and reinstalled it. The problem persists. It comes up with an error when i do have the option to update. Now my ipod, when turned on, display the little apple sign, and then the folder with the exclamation, and shortly turns itself off. It has no songs on it now. I've only had it about 8 months so it should still be covered under the warranty, but ideally i would like to solve this problem without sending it off.
Did you work out how to sort out yours? Or can anyone help me with mine!
Please!!!

"Did you work out how to sort out yours?"
Did who sort out theirs?!
What is the error message you refer to when you tried to update it.
If you've seen this and it doesn't help then it may need service.
Folder and !.
There is something you can try. If your iPod is recognized in 'my computer' you can try formatting the iPod through Windows, then you would need to reformat it using the iPod updater. This proceedure isn't normal, but can be used in extreme troubleshooting circumstances.

No disolay on my ipod nano screen after updating to version 1.1.1 software

Hi, at my wits end at this stage. I registered my ipod yesterday using the new itunes format. An option was available to update the software on the ipod to the latest available. up to this point everything was being displayed on the screen. During the upgrade to version 1.1.1 the screen went blank and has stayed that way. You can play music but can only shuffle back and forth.
I have tried all the various suggestion on the apple sight but nothing works. Has anybody come across this before?

can some one please hellp me?

How can I remove old musics from my Ipod to put new ones using ITunes

How do I change and manage my musics on the Ipod Nano using windows 7 and ITunes?

That's a very general question, so here are two documents from Apple for using automatic syncing and manually managing content.
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support
If your question is actually about removing content (you know how to add content), you are probably using the manual method to add content, and don't know how to manually remove content. For iTunes 12, on the horizontal bar that goes across the iTunes window (near the top), click the Music button near the left end. Near the middle of same bar, click Playlists. The sidebar appears along left side of window and Devices, your iPod is listed. Click the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name, to drop down its content list (indented below iPod). Click Music there. To the right, the list of songs on the iPod is shown. Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard. You can do this with one or more songs selected.
You can also use the iPod's "management" screen. Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see its Summary settings screen. In the sidebar, under On My Device, click Music. This is the same as on the "content list" described above.

After restoring ipod nano it wont sync with itunes. states error 13019 occured

after restoring ipod nano it wont sync with itunes. states error 13019 occured

I seem to recall that another user has this problem and found that it was because of some corrupted music files they were trying to sync over.
Try syncing smaller bunches of tracks till you come upon the ones that cause the error. You should be able to find out which ones are causing the trouble this way.
The other user said they used something called MP3Diags. I cannot vouch for this software at all, I have never used it.
I did a quick search on "how to repair MP3 files on Mac" and also found this:

After installing itunes update I cannot open my itunes music files. How can I fix this problem?

I installed the latest Itunes update and after installing I cannot open my ITunes music files. How do I fix this problem.

Hey Joey BOD,
It sounds like you can't open your Music app on your iPhone after the update? First, try force closing the Music app if it is open in multitasking, which you can find out how to do here:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5137
And if that doesn't work, I would reset the device:
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
via: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
And if that doesn't resolve the issue then I would backup the device to iTunes and restore it. Just be cautious and back up first, since restoring deletes all content and settings:

Nano corrupted after ipod update

i was trying to update an ipod nano, and the updater froze following the update, but the update bar on the ipod continued to function and it seemed like the update completed since the ipod restarted after the update bar finished, so just task managered out of apple updater.
Well now, neither itunes nor ipod updater (the most recent verions) recognize the ipod, and when i try to access it as a disk drive, i get an error message saying that the drive is corrupt. I'm trying to restore to factory settings, but i can't do that if the updater itself doesn't recogize the ipod.
What am i supposed to do?

Hi,
I had to solve the same trouble: After interrupted update on my iPod nano , the Windows explorer (several functions on the "My Computer" button, including right mouse click) hangs up. Trying to restore the iPod, the iPod updater program hangs up.
After reading the previous recommendation ("just format it!"), I formatted my iPod SUCCESSFULLY, on the following way:
1) Restart your PC with disconnected iPod.
2) Connect your ill-humoured iPod to USB slot.
3) You should see the connected external drive in my computer. DON'T CLICK ON IT! Just note the assigned drive letter, for example "E:".
4) Start the MS-DOS-like command line interpreter (Start menu -> Run... -> keyboard input "cmd + <Enter>").
5) Start the command line operation "format E:" (substitute "E:" with your correct drive letter) and confirm all instructions with <Enter>.
BE CAREFULLY, OF COURSE: If you perform "format [drive letter]:" via command line on any wrong volume, you will loss all data stored on this volume.

What are steps to take music from ipad itunes and add to ipod nano?

what are steps to take music from ipad itunes and add to ipod nano?

You will need to transfer any music that you have purchased on the iPad directly from the iTunes Store app to the iTunes app on the computer to which you sync the iPod. You can do that by directly downloading the media from Apple to the computer's iTunes app or by connecting the iPad to the computer and before syncing the iPad transferring purchases that you have made to the computer's iTunes media library. One place that you will find that command is in the iTunes app's File menu.
