Skipping music, "sector error" & lower than usual capacity

I've had this incarnation of my (20gb) iPod photo for a few months, and it's worked fine until now. I went out with it the other night, and it played well for the several hours I needed it. The next day as I was going home, the music started skipping in the middle of a song: say I was listening to Song A one second, the next it was playing the middle of Song B. It still said I was playing Song A, and I could scroll the song back to the start, and it did the same thing once it reached a certain point. I thought hmm about it and went on to another song, only to have it happen again. So I reset the iPod, and when it came to it wasn't recognising any music as being on there.
Apparently it hadn't wiped the hard drive entirely, because when I got home I was able to get most of the movie files I've had stored on there off onto my PC. Out of maybe 12 700mb files, 3 came up with errors. I can't remember the wording and I'm annoyed I didn't write it down, but I know the phrase 'sector error' was involved somewhere.
But this and the skipping led me to restore the iPod. HOWEVER, when I did this and went to put my music back on, I found that iTunes was now reading the iPod's total capacity as 16.01Gb (it's now changed to 16.03), as opposed to the usual 18.62Gb it should be. I also restored the drive through Windows, to no avail. Windows Explorer also sees it as 16Gb.
My meagre research and vague understanding of the topic has led me to believe that the movie files and the skipping music had to do with the sector errors, and that bits of the hard drive have somehow become corrupted. This might also explain why 2.5Gb aren't being recognised by anybody. I've had music on the capacity-amputated iPod since, and there have been no problems with playback since (perhaps because it doesn't want to use that 2.5Gb anymore). Does anyone know how I can get back my full capacity, or is this one of those send-it-back-to-Apple type issues?

Nope. All the tracks play fine on my powermac. I tried the solution in the link you posted last night; didn't work. I'm not sure what to do. I keep getting the 'disk could not be read or written to' error. It's annoying.
PS: To the other guy, restore your ipod. Try it a few times until it says it was successful. Then in itunes, after a transfer fails, rightclick on the ipod and click 'update' for hte calanders and stuff. It kinda 'wakes it up' a bit so you can add a few more songs before it wigs out.

  • Why is some of my OS type dropped lower than usual?

    I've had this problem for a while now and have just been ignoring it, but I'd like to know why this is happening and how I can fix it. It's pretty much just in iTunes and a few other programs where the type is dropped a few pixels from where it should be sitting. I've attached some screenshots so you can see what I mean.
    Thanks, Sam

    some of the songs are low but when i go back and play the song it gets loud agian y is that

  • Down payment amount cannot be higher/lower than the preset value Error

    Hello.  Can anyone help me with this error.  When creating a down payment request from a sales order with a billing plan, I get the message 'Down payment amount cannot be higher/lower than the preset value' and the document isn't released to accounting.  When creating the sales order, I included a condition type that I created.  The billing plan then calculates the down payment request value with the total sum i.e net value plus condition value.  Upon creating the down payment request in VF01, I get this message.  I did a test and noticed that, if the condition is not included in the sales order, the down payment request is created without errors.  How do I correct this?  Thanks for you anticipated response.

    Hi
    As you are getting error, 'Down payment amount cannot be higher/lower than the preset value' ,please check the total value of the document.So in the sales document ,billing plan check what is the invoice value for the first billing date , also check what is the sales order value.Secondly what is the condition type that has been created and for what purpose it is being used.

  • Error 06206: Effective price lower than material price (variance 30.00 %)

    Hello Experts,
    I've maintained the tolerance limit as 30% for my company code and tolerance key 'PE'.
    Even though I try to create a Purchase Order with the same effective price as the material price (no variance), still it gives me the following error:
    "Effective price lower than material price (variance > 30.00 %) Message no. 06206"
    However, I get this error only for Import vendors and not for Domestic vendors.
    I'm using same currency (INR) in Purchase Order for Import vendor as for Domestic vendor.
    I've debugged the code to find where exactly and why it throws that error but have been unsuccessful. When I reach METHOD pbo_finished, deep structure my_pushed_message already has the error message ID 06 and number 206 stored in it.
    Seeking Experts' help!

    Anish

    since you are getting effective price lower than material price, your PO appears to be at a lower value. This may be since the total is not carried to the appropriate field. pl check whether Subtotal column is having S entry
    if its an error, in attributes of system messages change to warning

  • Video downloads volume 3db lower than Music downloads

    I dont know if this is the proper area for this , but no matter what settings I play with my video downloads from the Music Store are about 3db lower than the music I download ( that is HALF as loud as the other for you non engineers) Pream settings , EQ boosting etc , doesnt do anything , either on Itunes or the IPOD . Is there ANY reson why the video sounds are of such poor quality and with no way to correct them ?
    Thanks

    Several months back, I had a similar problem.  There was a phantom 7G whenever I had the "Sync Movies" box checked in the iTunes sync configuration.  I'd uncheck the box and the 7G would go bye-bye.  Check it again and thge 7G returned.  This 7G chunk appeared on both the computer's iTunes and on the iPad.  Didn't matter that no other boxes were checked and that no movies were actually on the iPad.
    I resolved the issue with a Restore, which is easy to do but a bit time consuming.
    If you decide to go that route, connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

    I've got a feeling that's the way it is. I know that if I turn the volume down all the way, I can still hear the music very softly -- which is great for listening when I have a migraine!

  • IPhone 4 battery draining more than usual? Maybe because of 6.1.3?

    Hey, I have noticed that ever since I have updated to my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.1.3 the battery has drained more than usual. My battery drains about 1% per minute. Sometimes it drains even when I'm not using the phone? Is there any solution to fix this problem? I would REALLY appreciate it!

    The battery drains on every phone when not being actively used. There are processes going on in the background such as an email account or accounts being checked for new messages depending on your Fetch setting for email. Depending on the cellular reception at the time, more battery will be used when reception is lower regardless if any calls are being placed or received. If you have any push notifications enabled, those are being received. when not actively using the phone.
    Have you changed anything such as screen brightness?
    Are you accessing an Exchange account with your iPhone?
    Any change after powering the iPhone off and on and/or after a reset which is similar to a computer restart?

  • "The version of the Player that you are trying to install is lower than what is currently installed" when installing 14.0.0.176

    I've been deploying flash updates thru SCCM for a long time using the MSI.  With this update, many computers updated successfully, but about 200+ of them failed.  Each computer I have looked at has the message "Product: Adobe Flash Player 14 ActiveX -- The version of the Player that you are trying to install is lower than what is currently installed." in event viewer.  Attempting a manual install of the MSI produces a similar interactive message.  The current installed version is definitely older than the one I am attempting to install.  I am only able to re-mediate by manually uninstalling, and then installing 14.0.0.176.  I could script and deploy an uninstaller, but I would rather the bug with the MSI be fixed.

    Dear María,
    Finally, I have been able to reproduce the error, both in ActiveX and plugin installers updating from version 15.0.0.246.
    Here you have the logs:

  • I have an iphone 4s and when I try to connect it to my shared libraries; I get an icon of a circle that only fills up halfway.  I have an ipad and it connects to the shared library without a problem.  My library is much larger than the capacity of either

    I have an iphone 4s and when I try to connect to my shared library I see an icon of a circle that only becomes half full.  It does not connect.  I also have an ipad, which connects without incident. My itunes library is larger than the capacity of both devices, so that cannot be the issue.  How can I get the phone to connect with my shared library?

    My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine.  We always manually manage our music (no auto sync).  iTunes is up to date on the PCs.  My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines.  He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4.  I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s.  How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
    Thanks

Anyone else have this happen or have a solution so I don't have to do a restore???

    Reboot your computer.
    Disable your antivirus and firewall.
    Connect the phone to a USB port directly on your computer, not to a hub. If your computer is not a laptop and has ports on both front and back use a port on the back.
    If iTunes does not recognize the phone when you connect it see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If it STILL doesn't work open a command window and type:
       netsh winsock reset
    Then try again. (It seems that a recent Microsoft Windows update may have corrupted network settings; this restores them to the factory default).
    BTW, was there an error number associated with the failed update?
