ITunes.exe Corrupt File run the Chkdsk utility

When I connect my nano it doesn't add any songs and a warning comes up from my tray that says"iTunes:iTunes.exe Corrupt File run the Chkdsk utility." I typed Chkdsk into run and ran it. Nothing changed. Also when I connect my nano it says "Attempt to write to iPod failed. The disk cannot be read from or written to." Can anyone help me with this problem?

What is the best utility for mac book pro 10.10.2

What is the best utility/ antivirus program for a mac book pro running 10.10.2.

Nothing that is not already incorporated in OS X 10.10.2.
There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up", "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
"Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements.
If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose:Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
The same precaution applies to Adobe Flash Player. Newly discovered Flash vulnerabilities appear almost weekly.
Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
The same goes for a spontaneously appearing dialog insisting that you upgrade your video player right this instant. Such popups are frequently associated with sites that promise to deliver "free" movies or other copyrighted content that is not normally "free".
The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

Running the chkdsk utility

the file or directory/ipod_control/itunes/temp file is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the chk dsk utility.
I do not want to restore the ipod because I will lose the 250+songs I have already gotten from what I understand (These are songs I transfered to my ipod from a friends computer which I can't recopy so they are not in my library)
The other option I read was to open my comp and locate the drive ltter for ipod then click on start, run, type cmd. In the black window I typed chkdsk D: (my drive letter) r/f/
When I did this it said "The type of file system is RAW, chkdsk is not available for RAW drives.
Is there anyway to copy the songs into my library so I don't lose them if I have to RESTORE my ipod????? OR any other way to resolve this????
PLEASE HELP ME, I DON'T WANT TO LOSE THESE SONGS AND I NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS TO MY FRIENDS COMPUTER. THANK YOU
?? Windows XP

Hi there,
The RAW file format refers to the hard drive inside the iPod. It looks like something is getting confused, such that it thinks your iPod is unformatted, or formatted with a RAW file format instead of the usual FAT/Mac OS format...
Exactly what did you type whilst trying out the chkdsk...?
Kind regards,
Gopha.
PS. In reponse to your other post about music - it is considered illegal to distribute music by the manner you are describing - it's still piracy, because to conform to licencing laws, your friend is entitled to have a copy of the music for himself, and only himself, since he purchased it. Him passing it on contravenes the licencing laws. Not to say that people don't do it... but it is illegal if I am correct in thinking...

What is the disc utility supposed to look like with a fusion drive

I have bought a brand spanking new iMac 2013 with a fusion drive. I had a bit of a glitch with the set up of boot camp. I have taken it to the apple service centre and they reformated the drive. But I am no expert but it seem as though the computer is really slow, even slower than my 2009 iMac. can any one tell me what the fusion drive should look like in the disc utility? It appears as two seperate drives!? is this right? Can some one please help me?

Event ID 55 NTFS Error: The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume.

One of our File Server getting this error. I explained to you what happened. One of the HDD has failed from this server, which is on RAID. So we put the new one. But we get the NTFS Error. We make the schedule to run the chkdsk /r /c. But still we get this
error on events viewer. Now i have the other problem is that this system's backup is taken care by Dell AppAssure application. this application took the snapshot of each hdd. but due to this error it stops. So I talk to the Dell person to resolve the problem,
but he said to resolve the problem of the NTFS Error. If you resolve this issue the application will work.
So can anyone please help me ASAP to resolve this issue? My sever operating system is Windows 2003 R2.
Thanks.

Doesn't the "/c" argument skip directory corruption tests? Have you tried just using "chkdsk /r" ?
The /I or /C switch reduces the amount of time required to run Chkdsk by skipping certain checks of the volume.

What is the best utility for iMac?

The best and most important utility is any software that makes full system backups. Time Machine comes with your Mac. A bootable clone is also a good idea. You can make one with Disk Utility's Restore button. SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner are also good ones that allow you to update an existing clone in a few minutes.

What's the ultimate function of replicating progrommes to icloud because you can always download the programmes that you want to backup in icloud from apps without icloud

As we can always download the programmes that we want to backup in icloud from apps directly without icloud, then what's the ultimate utility of uploading programme files to icloud?
thanks a lot!

Backing up to iCloud is an alternative way for apple customers to be able to save data apart from contact, calendars, notes, etc. Now it might be pointless to you and to me, but some customers do not have computer to back up to or have their CD's that they import those songs from, so they need to save it.
To me backing up to icloud is only for 8GB iphones, any other devices will take up more than the free 5GB icloud has or you buy more storage, so it does not make sense to me or some people.
