ITunes recognises (and plays) CDs, asks if I'd like to import it but when I confirm, error message appears: 'Error occurred while converting the file track name . The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.'  Fix?

This problem seems to affect all CDs.  I've tried selecting and deselecting the 'error correction' box on the import settings but this makes no difference.  I'm running W7 Home Premium with SP1.  iTunes Version is: 11.1.3.8  Diagnostics confirms all CD/DVD Drive tests are successful. 
As I say, iTunes will play the CD without ny problem.  Has anyone experienced this and what's the fix?

Thank you so much! I was in the same situation (iTunes library stored on external hard disk). Strangely, iTunes knew where my music was stored (i.e. if I clicked a song it would link to the library location and play with no problems). But in the "Advanced" settings, the location of my iTunes Library was blank. So I just pointed to the correct location and now everything is working OK! Thanks again.

  • Have you ever had the problem where you try to plug in your ipod, and you dont get anything.. Like it wont sync, but when you go on your Ipod you get the "Trust this computer" ? Please help

    So, whenever I try to plug in my IPod I get nothing, I get the sounds of it being synced, but I open ITunes and I have nothing. When I access my IPod 5th gen, I get a message asking me to "trust this computer" this just recently became a problem for me and right about now I don't even know what to do. I backed up, IClouded, DFU, and even reset my Ipod. still the same problem. Please help

    I'm having this same problem. I AM NOT HAPPY, APPLE!!! Sure glad I upgraded from a 4th Gen iPod Touch to this iPod 5th Gen that I cannot get recognized in iTunes. Jeez - for as much money as people pay for these products, it sure would be nice if they worked propelry...

  • HT201210 My ipad2 is still working off of IOS 4.0 and I am trying to update it to 6.1.5 but I keep getting a message saying Error having to do with something Internal issue or damage?

    I am signed into ITUNES and have updated and made sure all of my apps are transferred. Could it be that it is too late to update? Or is it that there is something wrong with either my Ipad 2 or MacBook Pro (2012/Oct)?
    Has anyone else had this issue and resolved it? If Yes I could use help either way.
    Thanks so much...

    Is there some other device in your i-device inventory using a more current iOS than your iPad's iOS 4.0?
    This article may help:
    iOS: Unable to restore from backup of a newer device
    Your original post said " ... made sure all my apps are transferred. ..."  What does that mean exactly?  The normal process would be to sync your iPad using iTunes 11.0.2, then choose "Check for Updates" from the iPad's summary screen on iTunes.  It sounds like you tried something else.

    Can anyone help me connect my Macbook Air to a SAMSUNG TV.  When I follow the basic instructions (Thunderbolt to HDMI connection) the screen on my computer goes grey and an error message appears inviting me to press any button to restart the Macbook.  When I do this nothing happens.  Only when I disconnect the computer from the TV does the Macbook allow me to login. The TV does not receive any signal from the Macbook even though I know the HDI port works fine.  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?  Do I need to enable something on the Macbook?

    An update...
    I downloaded Apple's (rather large!) list of software updates today, and I was finally able to recognize my iPod again. I did a restore using the iPod updater from 06-2006, and all seemed to work OK. (I'm afraid to try the new one again!)
    Then I tried to re-load my music library from iTunes, and got stuck. It froze up after a while and wouldn't go any further.
    When I disconnected my iPod from my computer, I find 2 podcasts and nothing else, though iTunes told me it had transferred 600+ songs. Those 2 podcasts do play fine, and the basic iPod software all seems to be intact.
    So -- anyone get through this connection problem and have any ideas to share??

  • Ipod cannot be synced. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable

    I have recently had to reload windows xp home edition on my computer and wanted to connect my ipod to load some new music. As it was a new installation the ipod was not recognised. I loaded to latest version of itunes that I have just downloaded and was asked whether I wanted to sync my ipod with this computer in which case I would lose everything that was on the ipod. I choose yes to sync to the new computer but got the error message "the ipod "ipod" cannot be synced. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable". I simply recharged the ipod and continued to use it for a day but then it just ran through the tracks without playing anything until it came to the end of an album and returned to the main menu.
    As I cannot play anything I wanted to restore and reload but cant. Could anyone offer any help ? Thanks

    I have just managed to connect my ipod through itunes to restore it. However when I tried to connect it to the wall socket to complete the update nothing happens. I have checked the fuse in the plug and that is okay, but the ipod does nothing, not even a light on the display when connected. It seems to have locked up. If I hold it close to my ear I can hear a gentle hum. Also the ipod is not showing up in windows explorer.
    Any suggestions ?
    Thanks

  • Ipod cannot be synced. File or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

    After I tried reconnecting my ipod to my computer, the message "The iPod cannot be synced. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable." popped up in iTunes and it wouldn't let me access any of the songs on my ipod. I ejected it and checked the ipod, and all of my songs were still on there, but whenever I try and connect it to iTunes the same message pops up and when I go to the music list, nothing is there, though it states 3 GBs of space is being taken up (the amount of space my songs use).
    I figured the problem might lay in iTunes and not my iPod, but while there was a problem and I did manage to fix it, the newly downloaded iTunes still gave me the same message as before.
    I figure I could try reformatting the iPod, since it looks like that might solve the problem, but I don't have any of the songs on my iPod backed up, so I was hoping someone might be able to offer another solution. =/
    *To sum things up: songs are still on my iPod and I can listen to them after ejecting, but syncing up to iTunes is no longer possible (so no new music ;_; ). Problem most likely isn't with iTunes and I'd prefer not to reformat the iPod.*

  • Error: "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable"

    This is driving me nuts.
    I've had my 5th gen. iPod for over a year now, but just two days ago, when I plugged it in to my computer I received a message saying, "The iPod "name here" cannot be synced. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."
    To solve this problem, I tried using different USB ports, restarting my iPod, and reinstalling iTunes - all to no avail. I'd really like to avoid restoring my iPod, so I haven't tried that option yet. The iPod works fine outside of adding new music. Also, I ran chkdsk and got nothing from it.
    I'm very sad about this. I love my iPod and I want to be able to put new music on it! Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the reply!
    I downloaded the program and ran it, got to the point where it says I have errors that need to be fixed... but it appears I have to pay for the rest of the program to actually repair these errors. Is this incorrect?
    If I do have to pay, then I'd like to look for an alternative... the program is $40; of course, that's cheaper than buying a new iPod, but I want to avoid that too.

    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.

  • Ask your question.please help itunes will not launch on my computer the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder no error message appears and it appears but then disappears in task manager when the programme will not open quick time is working

    please help i need to fix my itunes it will not launch on my computer . no error message appears it simply will not run. the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder and it still appears in programmes in start menu but will not open. it appears in task manager but disappears when the programme will not open

    You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
    You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If  there was one please give it in full.
    Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
    Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
    Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?
