My ipod wont update because of a corrputed or unreadible file.

I had just put a couple movies on my ipod and they were working fine then when i got home i pluged in the ipod and itunes says it cant be updated because of a corrputed or unreadible file then one of the messages said to run dskchk? Also another error message said it was error -48. I dont know what to do because now i cant put music or anything on it.

I tried reseting the ipod but i think its an itunes problem. It said the file /itunes_control/itunes is corrupt and it said to run CHKDSK.

IPod nano wont update because it says its windows based

My iPod wont update because it says that it is Windows based. I have never used it on a Windows machine.
How do i change it to mac based.

In the restore instructions it says that you need to plug the iPod into a power adaptor during the second stage.
Not really.
Actually it says,
"iTunes will present one of two messages on screen with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
* Restore Instruction 1: Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
* Restore Instruction 2: Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models)."
You will get Restore Instruction 2.

I recently purchased the newest nano. I have 3 other nano's and iPad iPhone, oh and iPod touch. When I plug in nano to my mac I get the message "iPod cannot update because it contains files that are used by another application. How can manage this?

It means that nano was used on a third-party software or synced from different computer to sync music. Does that nano show in iTunes? If yes, then restore completely. If not, then you may need to head to Apple Store and see what they can do.

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update.

My apps on my cell wont update because my old apple id still shows. i changed it but it doesnt show its changed on my cell app update

my app i.d. on my cell wont update because it still shows my old app id. i changed my id to a new one. old i.d. still comes up so i cant update anything. no password works or anything.

All apps are tied to the Apple ID used to buy/download them.
This can not be changed.
You will need to use the old password or delete the apps and buy them/download them on the new ID.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
This is the image contained in the file causing the problem...
I certain the original is contained in the Combo updates and on the OS disks.
As a temporary fix, click on the image above to open it.
Use Screen capture (Shift+Command+4) and click on the opposite corners of the image.
It will be saved as a Screen shot 2011-mm-dd at hh:mm.png
Right click on the filename in Finder and rename it to mwmac_white.png
I'm not certain, but the file might need to be moved into the Documents directory in the Subdirectory named for the website name you are editing. That's where it is on my system, but I moved a bunch of files when I restored from Time Machine about 18 months ago.
I also have many copies of mwmac.png, a separate copy one for each web page where the image appears in my website.

IPod iTunes is up to date but my iPod wont update all songs???

The fact that Apple wants me to pay $50 for one incident...enough said! Sorry, I'm better now. So I have a legacy issue. iTunes version and iPod software versions are up to date but when I look at "My iPod" through iTunes it does not show all songs synced to my iPod?? Essentially my iPod is locked and grayed out and wont update new songs I have bought from iTunes. There is even a little lock at the bottom of the iTunes page "within" my iPod.... I cannot seem to unlock it and it is not because the iPod is physically on hold. Huge bummer - hugely annoying and Apple help desk wants $50 to tell me whats wrong with their product...

I've just started having a very similar issue. My iPod (20 GB dock connector, touch wheel with the four buttons above etc.) crashed for about the third time, wiped out all the songs on it and crashed iTunes each time I connected it to my Mac. In the past I have just loaded the iPod Updater again to re-install the software and start from scratch so I did this again. However, this is the first time I have done that after upgrading to iTunes 6 and I used an old iPod updater that I had previously downloaded (2005-03-23).
Everything seemed normal except none of the music I have purchased from iTunes will copy across to the iPod, error message = "some of the songs...were not copied..because your iPod software is too old. Go to...to get the latest iPod software update." I downloaded 2005-10-12 but it doesn't seem to do anything. Can anyone help?
With the updater I have just run the .dmg which opens the volume and then I've run the .mpkg. Do I need to do anything else?!?!?

My 4th Gen iPod wont restore because of error 3194. PLEASE HELP?

It went into recovery mode, and so i plugged it into iTunes. However when I plug it up it says it needs to be restored, and it wont restore because of error 3194. Nothing I have read yet is helping.

Okay! I may have a solution for some of you! I have a 4th gen click wheel, and it was doing the whole restart thing over and over, but never getting past the apple logo.
You need to get to the diagnostic mode. To do this I had to hold down the select and rewind buttons at the same time. (for some models it's the sel/ff buttons or the ff/rw at the same time. The Apple logo will briefly appear backwards, and then you should hear a chime. My screen came up as:
IRAMPASS
PLAY TO CONTINUE
(and some other junk)
press play.
Another menu will come up, scroll through the menu (my Ipod I had to click ff to scroll through. There were 3 pages to scroll through. I got to disk mode on that menu and with the ipod connected to my computer, I started disk mode. Once disk mode started my computer recognized the ipod (finally) and I was able to restore from the computer.
I did lose all the music stored on it, but I'm happy to have made this progress, considering when I got this ipod from a friend two days ago, who was about to throw it in the garbage, it would not even turn on!
Hope this post helps someone!

IPod cannot update because "firmware file" cannot be found

Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

Ipod wont Update in Itunes. HELP!!!!!!

Heya guys. After installing Itune 6.0, I seem to be having problems with my Itunes recognizing my Ipod. Its plugged in and charging on a USB 2.0 cable, but when I use Itunes, I cant seem to have Itunes even recognize that my Ipod is plugged in and charging. It wont update it for me. Everything else seems to work fine, I can download podcasts just fine and go into the music store.
Could it be that I need a USB cable? Before I would get a message saying something like the cable wasnt fast enough, but I didnt have trouble with it then.
This is my computer that Im trying to get my Ipod to update on Itunes. I have tried to reinstall Itunes, but have trouble there.
When I go into Itunes, I press the Edit Tab, then preference, then Ipod tab. It says then it isnt connected. But if it isnt connected, then how come it shows on my Ipod that it is charging?
From what I've been reading, Itunes 6.0 is causing alot of grief. Im sorry if this is long-winded but I hope that I gave some details that would help. Thank you if you can be of anyhelp.

Ipod wont update due to deleted playlist

i have accidently deleted a playlist on my ipod, and when i went to update my ipod all of the songs were taken off it. now when i try to update my ipod the following message appears:
Songs on the ipod "Tom" cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist.
i have tried looking for the playlist how ever i cannot find it.please help i have been trying to fix this for ages!!!

hiya!
okay, while the ipod is plugged in and showing up in the sourcelist, go "edit > preferences" and click on the "ipod" tab.
you currently have "Automatically update selected playlists only" selected in there. compare the playlists that show up in the window below that option with the playlists that currently exist in your sourcelist. deselect any that no longer exist. click OK.
for some more info on using that updating/syncing option (and the others), see:

Ipod wont update, restore, WORK!!??

hi everyone, my ipod's been playing up, its the second time this has happened, the last time i managed to sort out the problem but it was an accident! It started off by suddenly deleting all the songs in my ipod, they're still in my library but wont update onto my ipod, saying there is not enough memory. I have tried resetting, and then update/restoring but I keep getting a range of different error messages from "Internal error" to "formatting failure" i have searched through all the discussions on here but none have helped!! the ipod updater i downloaded seems to disappear on my computer leaving one from jan06, which is obviously out of date. PLEASE HELP!!!!
thanks xxx

You've seen this?
Internal manager error.
If after trying all else, you 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.
If you need to, reset the iPod to exit disk mode.

My ipod is formated for windows xp. new laptop is windows 8. ipod wont update on new laptop, what do i do now?

my new laptop is windows 8. iPod is formatted for windows xp. new laptop knows iPod is there but wont update. how do I fix this?

hey there oddball35,
It sounds like you are trying to update your iPod with your new computer. Without knowing the specific symptoms, I recommend you start with choosing the iPod model you have from the following website:
iPod Troubleshooting Assistants
https://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
If that does not resolve the issue, are you getting any error messages, or what specifically is preventing the restore from happening?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Set the iPod to sync manually, and then drag the songs you want transferred to it onto the iPod in the iTunes source list. If you get any error messages, post back with the text of those messages; following these instructions may be necessary.
