Q: Incorrect block count errors after syncing podcasts

Good day all!

I'm having an ongoing problem with incorrect block count errors after syncing my podcasts to my iPod Shuffle.  Specifically it seems to occur when I am removing podcasts that I have already listened to, after adding new podcasts Disk Verify never shows errors.  When I remove them, I delete them from the Podcasts area of iTunes which then removes them from the Shuffle, this is when the errors present themselves.  I repair the disk from a flash drive that has the Lion installer on it and the repair completes properly and the disk shows no errors until I remove podcasts again, and the errors only seem to occur with podcasts, never any other files. This has never been an issue until I upgraded to Lion.  In an attempt to correct the problem I have deleted all my podcasts and podcast subcriptions and then resubscribed.  I have also reintalled the Shuffle software but the problem continues to reoccur.  I preformed a surface scan of the drive with TechTool Pro which is reporting no bad block errors.  Perhaps I should try DiskWarrior.  At any rate, I am mystified.  If anyone can shed any light on this situation I would be grateful.

    Agreed.  It's definitely an iTunes issue.  I upgraded from a traditional hard drive to an SSD, and I'm still having the same issue, so it's not a failing or faulty drive.  I've reported it to Apple numerous times but they're obviously not interested in addressing the problem.  It usually occurs for me after I've emptied the trash of podcasts I've manually removed.  I then run a "Verify Disk" and then the incorrect block count errors appear.  I then reboot into the restore partition and repair the disk and there are never any errors until I empty podcast from the trash again.  The frustrating part is that every once in a while after emptying the trash of podcasts the the "Verify Disk" says there are no block count errors.

    I'm wondering if it could be a migration problem, I used Carbon Copy Cloner to migrate all my stuff from the old to the new laptop, everythings seems to work fine but I don't know if this is a secure option or might cause some problems.
