iPod won't update [urgent]

[d3s]

Hello friends,

I'm going on holiday on Friday so I only have today and tomorrow to fix this problem. A holiday without an updated ipod would so suck.

My iPod cannot be updated, whatever I do. For automatic updating, everything seems to go fine, iTunes synchhronises my iPod by adding 166 new songs in my library. Then I say "Eject iPod" and check from my iPod; none of the songs have actually been added! Similarly when I do manual updating, I manually move songs fro my library to iPod's, everything seems fine, I can see the songs on iPod library and/or playlists. Then when I eject it, it's still the same, it's not updated. Only thing I can do atm is copying my new songs to root and listen to them on other computers, but not on iPod ;/ So there's nothing wrong with usage of iPod for data storage.

One thing i doubt is, iTunes gives an error on system tray when I connect my iPod and load iTunes such as:

iTunes.exe - Corrupt File The file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes\Temp File is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.

Please, please, I desperately need help.
Thanks

Check the sticky at the top of this forum.

There are some link problems with iPod updater software. The link to the old iPod updater version in the sticky points to a server where the file no longer exists. The March version listed in the iLounge download section points to Apple, which brings up the latest (June) version.

I'm pretty sure I have the 3.01 version. d3s, if you want it then send me a PM and we'll work out a way to get it to you.

Longer-term, someone probably needs to get this into some P2P network. It really stinks that Apple keeps putting out broken versions and not making the older/working one available. 3.01 is also the version that works with Realplayer, I think.
