[CopyTrans 3] I get an error message stating that my iPod library is corrupt
20 Voters
 

Your iPod/iPhone library can be corrupt for two reasons:

  • The iPod was unplugged without having been properly ejected first
  • The use of an alternative iPod manager

Please go through this troubleshooter to resolve the problem.

Solution A: Only for CopyTrans Manager users

  • Restore the last iPod library backup (created automatically by CopyTrans Manager) by following this guide.
    If the last library does not fix the problem, try the previous one.

If Solution A does not help, don't forget to restore the iPod library with today’s date through CopyTrans Manager.

Solution B:

  • Manually add a song to your iPod through iTunes.
  • Close iTunes and open CopyTrans Manager again to check if the problem is fixed.
    WARNING: To avoid "Automatic synchronization” of your iPod by iTunes click and keep the Shift and Ctrl keys pressed while you open iTunes. Please refer to this FAQ article.

Solution C:

  • Restore your iPod library through iTunes. This solution will always work but is radical.
    WARNING: This will completely erase the contents of your iPod. You should create a backup with CopyTrans before you restore.
