iPod Nano Corrupted

[Clementine-Issue-Importer]

From iwoloschin on September 23, 2010 00:41:50

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Open Clementine on Windows 7 64-bit.

2. Plug iPod Nano into computer.
3. Verify iPod Nano is recognized by Clementine and copy MP3s to the iPod Nano (did not try to use the transcoder, but I suspect the same issue will occur).
4. Unmount iPod Nano via Windows controls. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? iPod Nano should have the new music on the device. Instead, the iPod reports no music loaded. I've verified the songs are there using Winamp and Windows Explorer, but the iPod database seems to be corrupted. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Clementine 0.5 on Windows 7 64-bit Please provide any additional information below. The iPod Nano got stuck in an endless reboot cycle. I was forced to go into "Disk Mode" and use iTunes to "Restore" the iPod. After restoring the iPod worked correctly, but if Clementine touched the iPod it was corrupted again (I tried another time just to be certain this was an issue).

Confirmed. My iPod nano thinks it has no music on it after syncing with Clementine (on Win 7 x64). When looking at the "About" dialog on the iPod, it seems to show the correct storage usage, but all is classified as "Other".

I managed to make the iPod working again by connecting it with my Linux netbook and accessing it with Amarok (without having to retransfer all music). So it's probably just a very small issues that causes Clementine to corrupt the iPod.

Same thing happens to me. I really want to use my iPod Nano with Clementine but can't get it to work. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I just tested the iPod sync with the same iPod nano, but with the Linux version of Clementine (using Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Edition, which is 32-bit, afaik). No corruption of the iPod database occurs in that case.

So the problem is probably Windows and/or 64-bit specific. Anyone with a 32-bit Windows having the same issue?

Hi I would just like to report this happened to me on 64-bit Fedora.

Nano 3G 8GB. So it seems like a 64-bit problem

And only iPod Nanos so far, if I'm not mistaken.

Clementine uses libgpod, I wonder if its a bug with the library or with Clementine itself. I couldn't find out which version of libgpod it uses.

Still broken with Clementine 0.6 :(

Apart from that, I now get an error every time after I copied files to the iPod because creating a backup file (playcount.bak or something like that) failed (because the file already exists).

Same issue for me, Apple Nano and Windows 7 32-bit

That's interesting news, as you are the first one with a 32-bit OS reporting this issue.

As someone reported the same problem with Fedora, it's probably also not Windows-7-specific. I don't have problems with Ubuntu 32bit, however. Really strange.

I think the priority of this bug should be raised to "High", if that's possible.

can confirm this on Windows XP SP3, clementine 0.6, using ipod nano 4 gen.

I have this problem as well, windows 7 32 bit. iPod nano 2nd generation. Tell me if I can provide any useful information.

Same here. I have clementine 0.7, on windows64, with an ipod nano 5th gen.

Got the same problem, with windows xp SP3, Clementine 0.7.1 and a third generation iPod nano (firmware 1.1.3 if I remember well). But maybe should we rather contact libgpod ?

same problem with my ipod nano 5th Gen, using Clementine 0.7.1, any resolution?

I have not seen this issue on Clementine 0.7.3 (self compiled) with KDE4.7.3 (Kubuntu 11.10), with an iPod Nano 4th Gen.

The issue looks more predominant on Windows, but then not sure if it is caused by Clementine itself or by the library that handles the ipods (libgpod on linux, and not sure what one in Windows).

Similar behaviour here, using Clementine 0.7.1 under Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal 32bit and iPod Nano model A1320 16GiB MC064 1.0.2 PC: Clementine recognizes the iPod and copies music, but albums or titles do not appear in iPod. Data is pasted in iPod's root folder, which probably is NOT the folder the iPod searches music in.

I get a similar response with my iPod Classic on my Mac OS X 10.6.8

Whenever I try to sync my ipod, the ipod seems erased upon ejection. It is only when I rewrite the library using Floola that my music returns to normal, but without the songs I had tried to sync in the first place.

i got a similar issue, recognition works fine, but when i want to copy files to my ipod nano via clementine (Version 1.0.1-382-g10a3594) on a mac (10.6.8) the device can not find them. and neither can clementine when restarting it. so i can not delete the copied files on my ipod. clementine stores the files in the right folders but the ipod still is unable to find them.

I can confirm that the index corruption (ie, iPod showing "No Music") happens on Clementine 1.01 on Win7 64 bit, and on WinXP 32 bit. It works perfectly on the same Clementine version running on Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. And similarly to comment 3, adding tracks in Clementine on Ubuntu restored the index without having to reformat or retransfer.

Same problem with Clementine 1.1.1 under Windows 7 SP1 64 bits. The files are on the device (Clementine and Winamp see and can play them) but the database shows 0 song when the iPod Nano is unplugged (iPod Nano Chromatic).

Transfering a file with Winamp fixed the problem.

Same problem with Clementine 1.1.1 on Windows 7 64bit.

Looks like nobody wants to address this issue, anyways..

This seems to be a common problem...copying files from Clementine, but Ipod (unconnected) doesn't see any music available to play; plays fine via Clementine if connected. Can't believe no one knows the fix to this.

From greenmichael.mark on April 05, 2013 09:40:23

Same serious common problem. Windows 7 64bit. After the first Xfer, that appeared to be working, the next Xfer stopped working. The ejected IPOD nano showed no music anything except time, and settings. I reconnected and could play tracks through Clementine.

From kugelpanzer on April 28, 2013 21:42:20

Another confirmation on Windows 7 64bit. Running Clementine 1.1.1. I'm kind of pissed off that a three year old problem hasn't been fixed yet.

Anyway, has anyone found a way to fix this with out using linux?

[tfeusels]

Is there any news on fixing this issue? Using new iPod nano 7g, Clementine 1.2.2 on Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.5. Clementine recognizes the device, can delete music from the device and copy files onto the device, which are properly recognized. I can play them from the iPod using Clementine, but after unmounting the iPod, they are removed and I cannot play them from the iPod. They also get the filename "libgpod.... mp3" but I assume that is normal.

I hope I don't have to go back to iTunes to put music on my iPod and use Clementine for everything. Unrelated, I was wondering about Clementine 1.2.3 (or further for Mac OS X)?
