Just got a corrupt file error in iTunes and cant seem to fix it....need hel
hey i was loading up my iTunes the other day and it took a little longer than normal. after the wait a popup message in the corner hidden icon section of the screen a message pops up saying "The file or Directory C:\Documents and Settings\Andy\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes library.itl is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility". I followed the path to the corrupt file and i found it. I tried to delete it thinking that if i just completely remore itunes and reinstall it it'll be fine. Well theni try to delete the iTunes Library.itl file it wont let me because it is a corrupt file and it tells me so. Now i being desperate tried to find the Chkdsk Utility, but i cant find it anywhere. Is there some way out of this problem cause i'm an abid user of iTunes and would like to fix this problem.
if you can direct me to the Chkdsk utility on a Windows XP please do, if there is some other solution to this problem please help!
thanks

Hi. I just got the iPhone 6, plugged into itunes and made the mistake of putting an OLD back up on my new phone resulting in losing all contacts after 2013. They are not saved on the cloud. Is there any way to go back to before I screwed up?
If you have performed a sync with the device since you restored this old backup, then don't bother looking for another backup. iTunes writes over the last backup each time you sync. If you were handling contacts in iCloud, you would find them by logging into iCloud. Or you can check settings and iCloud and see if the button it on for Contacts. Otherwise it might have been on the computer, if you had a program that syncs with iTunes and handles contacts, depending on the computer system you use. If Windows, it would be Windows Contacts or Outlook. If a Mac, there is a Mac Address book as well.

Just got my computer back. How can I reset my itunes so it matches my IPod settings? I have my favorites and files on my IPod that I want to keep and when I try to sync it gives me the option to erase and sync with computer. How can I sync without loosing any music or files at all?

What is a -42408 error on itunes and how do i fix it?
i keep getting a -42408 error code on itunes.
Hi,
Quote:
“Set formulas represent the ability to add some advanced MDX or TI expressions to the scorecard.
The Time Set Formula option allows the entry of TI expressions that will be expanded on the scorecard.
The Custom Set Formula option allows the entry of a MDX set expression that will be used within the scorecard. The usefulness of this feature has diminished somewhat with the new dynamic hierarchy selection capabilities included in PPS 2010. However,
the Custom Set Formula feature does still have some value.”

Corrupt file error won't let me manage nano
I followed the 5 R's from the Apple website, but iTunes will not allow me to run the ipod updater and refuses even to show the ipod in its listing. It says "corrupt file /ipod-control/itunes run chkdsk". I actually ran a chkdsk from dos and that errors out saying the ipod_control/itunes is inaccessible. Is there an Apple program to just reformat the ipod withou having to "read" it, as the iTunes seems to? I did put on the latest iTunes (7.2).
dell Windows XP ProYou could try a format of the iPod in Windows. A full format does a check and remap of bad sectors on the iPod hard drive, and you would need to restore the iPod as normal (using the iPod updater) afterward. This can also work when the iPod is recognized by the computer, but not by the updater.
First, put the iPod into forced disk mode.
See: How to put the iPod into disk mode.
On your PC, go "my computer" and right click on the iPod, then choose "format". Ensure the settings are at "default" and that "quick format" is not checked. Now select "format". It will take a while, but when that's finished, restore the iPod using the updater.
Also, see if either of these help.

i just got a new pc running windows 7 and cannot get my i tunes library from my old windows xp i have an ipad,ipod nano .ipod touch ,will any of these do it? My library is one i downloaded from cds not purchased thanks'
Iv just got a macbook pro today, and I don't know how to transfer my itunes library from my imac..
the simplest way, assuming all your media files are in the default location, would be to connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
My sister is having my old imac, so I also need to then clear the itunes on the imac for her.

Corrupt file error - ipod nano (HELP!)
Each time that I put a new CD into my computer and add it to my iTunes library so that I can transfer the songs onto my iPod nano I get a "corrupt file" error message relating to my iPod and I also get a pop-up asking me to register my iPod even though I've done this already. This happened again yesterday and this time ALL of the songs on my iPod were erased! I don't know what the problem is and why I'm getting this "corrupt file" message. I need help - does anyone know what I can do?
hiya!
I get a "corrupt file" error message relating to my iPod and I also get a pop-up asking me to register my iPod even though I've done this already.
it's plausible here that you're getting the drive-confusion-related version of the chkdsk (based on the fact that you're constantly getting the iPod setup assistant).

Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

How do i fix or avoid a corrupted file error message
i get an corrupted file error message when i try to send a video from photoshop elements 5.0 to adobe premiere elements 3.0. video plays in photoshop but wont transfer, by photoshop, disc or file. cants get anything into premiere elements. help?
lyndaloonLynda,
Are you attempting to send a video file which you have on your hard drive to Premiere Elements3? Or is it a slideshow which you have just made in the PSE slide show create function which you are attemptin to send ?
If it is a video file on your hard drive, then I suggest that you first try to bring the video directly in to Premiere Elements 3. If you have already attempted adding a video file directly to Prem Elem 3, then I recommend that you post your question in the separate forum for Premiere Elements. I suggest that you include info about the file type and codec of the video file as well as what variation of Windows you are running.
Premiere Elements forum at
http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements
FYI
- I have previously sent photo files from Photoshop Elements 5 to Premiere Elements 3: however I have never attempted to do a Send of a video file. There are many types of video files for which the PSE 5 Organizer has very limited support and that is why I think that you would be better using Premiere Elementa 3 to work with video.
Or perhaps you might have a newer format of video file that Premiere Elements 3 does not support for editing. For example, AVCHD format is not supporedt in PE 3 but is supported in newer versions. This question about types of video is better asked in the Premiere Elements forum. -

I just got my new i phone 5 s and did all the syncing and backing up for my old iphone 4s and set my 5 up and synced it on itunes. It synced evrything but the contacts and other minor things. those were the only things that really transfered. My apps and all my music did not. Tthe thing is when i just went to go manually start dowmloading a few of the songs that i knew i already bought , itunes is making me pay forthem again. Its not saying instal like it usuall does when you go download something aleady purchased on your itunes account. I think or thought it might have something to do with the fact that i just changed my apple id name right before i got my new phine but my apps all re-downloaded (manually-no syncing) without making me pay for them again. i dont want to have to purchase allllll my songs again. Can someone please help me!! Itried going back to my old id or signing out of this id and signing in as my old apple id but now it wot even get on that oneits likjeit doesnt exist anymore.. And when i plug my old phone it shows in the itunes everything thats supposed to be there but all that doesnt stay in the itunes when i actually un plug it so when i plug my 5 in to my computer none of the stuff is in the store for me to actually transfer it I am so good with technology and this has me stumped please help
No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that. -

Corrupt file error while writting a file in compress mode
Hello,
I have a scenario where i am writting data in a file in appending mode with filter 'compress' addition using open dataset, on Al11 for the first set of records it works fine but if this file is accessed again for writting data in next select statement ( its between select endselect),the file is getting corrupted, if i try to open this file corrupt file error come. can someone help.
Thanks and Regards,
GunjanHi Gunjan,
Unfortunately, you can't do in that way. The behaviour of that OPEN and FILTER 'compress' clause is to create a compacted file, to be read later, but it can be appended... all your writes go to a pipe and when you close the file this is sent to 'compress' program or other filter and than a compacted file is created.
You can't go back and start inserting again after close it.
Follow documentation:
http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPOPEN_DATASET_OS_ADDITION.htm
The addition FILTER must not be used together with the addition AT POSITION or for the access type FOR UPDATE.
