An iPod is a widely used portable digital media player for storing and playing various media such as audio, video, games, etc. The iPod has a distinct style and can store up to 10,000 songs depending on its memory. Using iPod, you can also transfer songs between computers through the iTunes application.
Sometimes, you may notice some errors with your iPod, which may result in inaccessibility of data stored on it. In such situations, you can always use a recent and valid backup to restore your lost data. However, if you have not kept the backup, or the backup falls short, it is recommended to use an effective iPod recovery software to recover and restore your lost data.
Consider a situation: You try to copy some songs to iPod using iTunes application. When you remove the iPod from the system, you notice that there are no songs on the iPod. Then reconnect the iPod to the system and encounter the following error message:
“The iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-48)”
When you disconnect your iPod from the system again, you might get another error message:
“Windows – File Corrupt: The file or directory iPod_ContorliTunesiTunesDb is corrupted and unreadable”
The above error messages indicate that you cannot add music, videos, or movies to your iPod, regardless of the memory available on it. You may notice inaccessibility of data stored on iPod after above error messages appear. Also, the error messages appear repeatedly every time you try to access the files stored on the iPod.
Cause:
The above error messages occur when iTunes detects the following:
Corrupt iPod software.
Damaged or corrupted iPod disk.
Resolution:
The best way to solve the above problem is to restore the latest version of iTunes. The latest version of iTunes can be downloaded from the Internet, and iPod can be restored by connecting it to a USB or FireWire port. But restoring iPod erases all stored data and restores it to its factory default settings. In such a case, to fully recover your lost data, you need to use advanced recovery software. These iPod recovery utilities employ high-end scanning mechanisms to ensure fast and complete recovery of your lost data.
