Mycomp- \iPod_Control\Music = corrupt ! help please.

So a few months ago i updated my iTunes to 7.4.1 and then my 1st GEN nano practically died for no apparent reason. My computer says "ipod has been detected but cannot be read" or something, its been a while since i've actually plugged it in... knowing it'll just say the same thing. So i went to My Computer...then typed into the little address box "\iPod_Control\Music", probably after clicking the "E-drive" or whatever the ipod seems to show up in the MyComp folder. thats when i got the message that the content of the file is corrupt and unreadable. and i decided to look up that specific address after my old computer tried to read it and actually pointed out the specific place that was "corrupt"
so... i dont want to go and spend like another $150 for the new ipod (even though i really want to, i dont have the money =/ ), i want this good 1 GIG, 1st GEN nano repaired somehow... does anyone know how i can fix it? is there a way for some Apple workers to repair it for me? thanks in advance

If you're only using it as a portable storage device, as you say, and it's recognized as such by Windows Explorer, as you say, then it would seem like you're in perfectly good shape.
Otherwise, just go back through the installation process. Be sure to follow Apple's installation instructions carefully, and don't let Windows jump in to take care of things for you.

  • H520s Windows 8 DVD-ROM disabled and error 19 - registry corrupt Help please!

    Hi all and hoping for help with H520s, 64bit  OS Windows 8. Error message showing  problem with DVD-RAM Mat**bleep**a SW820; this is disabled in the device manager, and I can't use the DVD drive as a result. (yellow triangle)
    Have tried windows fix utility on pc ; drivers are up to date. Have disabled, enabled etc. But it's still error 19
    This was working perfectly until a couple of days ago when Microsoft ran a mega load of updates, including critical windows 8 updates. Am wondering if there's some conflict?
    Have searched the Lenovo solution centre for up to date drivers for the dvd-RW but there aren't any. Don't really want to uninstall the DVD-ROM drive and attempt reinstall unless can definitely reinstall and can't find anything that reassures me I wil be able to do so.
    Wondering if Is this similar to another issue on Toshiba pcs where it seems, according to various searches,  it was a corrupted registry entry due to conflicts with pre installed pc rescue type utilities?
    I'm no IT expert and the idea of registry fiddling is not reassuring.

  • Nokia 2330 music player help please...

    Just purchased this phone, and user guide has no info on how to download to the media player! I had hoped the PC suite would be able to be downloaded to use bluetooth, but the phone is not listed as one that is compatable with that software?! Anyone able to advise on how I'm suppose to be able to use this feature or if it is usable with the PC software?????

    Hmm. I don't have this model...so what I'm suggesting is a best guess based on the fairly simple phone model you have there:
    Well first, you'll need to convert any mp3 files you have into a mobile optimised format (AAC) as your phone isn't intended to play mp3 music and there's not a whole of space for music.
    Next use the Nokia Suite and connect your phone via BT.
    Then, go to file manager on Nokia Suite > Locate the converted music > Copy and paste/Drag and drop the file into your phone (Nokia Phone Browser > Nokia 2330 > C: ...there should be some folder for music there...)
    Then go to your music player and try to check if it's there?
    The other options are:
    1. to purchase music from online, but be careful what you buy because there's a lot of MP3 mobile music which is NOT for your phone.
    2. get a friend who has .aac format music files and have him/her bluetooth it to your phone...
    Do let me know if any of this has helped. If not, please indicate what you have tried.
    "Try not. Do or do not, there is no try."

  • ERROR: \IPOD_Control\music\F47  HELP!!!

    I have updated to 5.0 and (I think) updated my ipod - not sure it actually happened - when i try to sync - i have lost 3GB of music from LIbrary to ipod - and i get the above error - HELP!!!
    should i start all over and try reinstalling everything?

    Use the iPod Updater to Restore (erase) the iPod then reload the music onto it from iTunes.
    And please don't just go reinstalling things at random. Every post I read lately says "my computer doesn't see my iPod, so I tried reinstalling itunes like 10 times and it didn't fix it!". Reinstalling things fixes nothing. iTunes and the iPod software don't install anything special. There's no magic in how they work. Reinstalling over and over when the first time didn't work doesn't make any sense at all. There are times when it makes sense, but it's not a cure-all.
    Sorry, unrelated rant there.

  • Time Capsule sparsebundle corruption help please

    Hi
    I went away for a week and when I came back I found that the Time Capsule was not backing up. Apparently, my family tells me there was a power outage during my absence and, therefore, this might be the cause of the problems.
    I have a Time Capsule acting as our Time Machine drive which is accessed wirelessly from a MacBook.
    Double clicking on the sparsebundle got me a message that 'Resource not available' and some searching of this forum makes me think the bundle is corrupted. I followed some advice to use the Terminal to force a mount of the bundle into Disk Utility and this is what appeared in the Terminal window:
    <pre>

    hdiutil: attach failed - Resource temporarily unavailable
    </pre>
    I am no Unix guru and I have no intention of using the Terminal except with explicit guidance as I really have no idea what I'm doing with it. As a result, I have no idea what the output means, but it doesn't look good. However I am generally technologically savvy.
    As you may imagine, I would like to try to save the back ups contained in the bundle if at all possible before I hook up the laptop via ethernet to the TC and start everything again.
    Right now, I have stopped further TM backups. I have already tried switching off TM, rebooting and then reselecting the TC but to no avail.
    Any/all help will be so gratefully received.
    Thanks in advance
    Graeme

    Please don't post messages this way. They are difficult to read. For problems with Time Machine I would suggest
    you start here: User Tips for Time Machine.
    Note that if you cannot mount the sparsebundle in order to repair it using Disk Utility, then the sparsebundle is beyond
    help. Erase the backup drive and start over. For a Time Capsule open Airport Utility, click on the Manual Update button.
    Select Airport Utility Help from the Help menu and search for "erase." This will get you the help file on how to erase a
    TC drive.

  • HT201272 Error in connection when downloading previously purchased music. Help please!

    I'm trying to download previously purchased music onto a new authorized computer, but for a number of songs (1 in 10 approximately), I continually get the message that the connection cannot be established.
    In my Library, these songs cannot be played.
    However, when I go back under Itunes Store > Purchased - beside every song (regardless of whether it was successfully downloaded or not), it says Downloaded. So I can't download them again.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Ability to redownload varies from country to country, the US having most options currently:

    If you think you should have more optons check your country is correctly set in iTunes.

  • No volume on my games on ipad , but works on music. Help please

    Lost the volume on my IPAD game apps. Volume works playing music, just not on the games. Help please

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

  • I Can't Buy Any Music! Help Please.

    Okay, this happened a few days ago. I've been trying to figure out what happened, but to no avail, so I've come here to get help. Every time I click on an album, it takes me to the regular screen where it shows the info about it on top along with reviews, etc.
    On the bottom where the songs are supposed to be is nothing. I've tried clicking on multiple things, but nothing works. All I see is black columns.
    Does this have anything to due with the fact I just redeemed two fifty dollar music cards from my birthday? I don't know if putting that much on at once makes Itunes do something funky.

    I emailed apple support and they replied a day later that I needed to upgrade. So I upgraded and I still cannot download any music. Ive looked for a 1 800-help phone number but cannot find one. As much as I like i-tunes, I think they still havent worked out all the bugs if so many people are having the same problem.

  • Nokia Music Manager - help please

    Hi, sorry if this may have been covered previously, I have looked but couldn't find anything relevant.
    My problem is that I save all my music on my pc in one folder and I have about 600 tracks.
    I installed Nokia Music Manager recently and now when I open my music folder I can see that approx 50 of my previously mp3 tracks are now of file type "Nokia Music Manager" and not mp3. I have tried converting them to back to mp3 using Itunes which works but in my music folder they still show as NMM.
    I don't have a problem with them showing NMM in itunes as I can update my ipod fine, it's just when I want to burn an mp3 disc using Nero that it doesn't work - Nero can't find these NMM files in my music folder and it's doing my head in.
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Please explain your problem more detailed.

  • Huh... kinda disappointed with the music scrub (help please)

    Hello everyone.
    I use my phone while working out as well as listening to lectures which I take notes for. 
    I noticed with ios7 that the controls are HORRENDOUS when it comes to the music application.  It seems that the gents who made ios7 really did put aesthetics over functionality, and it shows... badly.
    The music controls are extremely difficult to use intuitively because the tap function (where you can tap on the bar's length to jump to that particular section of the song/lecture) has been completely removed, the scrubber is literally actionable only at the exact width (roughty 3-5 pixels?) if the line and everything seems too bunched together.
    I was wondering if any of you felt the same way?  Is there any way at all to get the functionality of the previous ios' music application back?  I've looked into downgrading from ios7 to ios6 on my 5s but honestly it's just not possible at all.

    Yeah you're right. It's a shame, apple has done a great job with UX until now.
    Downloading another music app is actually a great idea. Any suggestions?  I've looked around but there's none that offer music scrolling in the lock screen. 

  • HT203167 Hi! I created a playlist mid Feb.  Since then the playlist is all I can see. I can not access my purchased music. Help please!

    I created a playlist mid Feb. Some songs were previously purchased and some were new purchases. That playlist is the only thing showing up now in my itunes library. Hundreds of other songs have disappeared. Can you help? Thanks!

    All of your media should be in iTunes.
