Microsoft has rolled up a hotfix 936824 which will solve the problem of incompatibility between Apple iPod, Apple iTunes and Windows Vista which may cause some iPods to become corrupted when ejecting them using Windows Explorer or the ‘Safely Remove Hardware’ function in the System Tray. The update KB93684 replace update KB 933824 which failed to correct the issue.
You have an Apple iPod that is connected to a Windows Vista-based computer through a USB connection. Then, you disconnect the iPod from the computer. In this scenario, the data on the iPod may become corrupted.
