Plugged Ipod into Mac after using Windows--Now Corrupted Please Help

Ipod 1.2.1
My friend plugged it into his Mac, Ive been using it on my PC. It says its corrupted now when I plug it into the PC. I restore it and it says its restored but then the "do not disconnect" mac screen comes up (looks different than the do not disconnect pc screen), and when I try to restore it again, it wont recognize it. How can I fix this problem??

Sorry, it is a bit confused
Your iPod is a 3rd Generation (clickwheel) or (touch wheel),
is it a dock connector?
You need to do the Reset:-
For clickwheel - Press select+menu keys
For touch wheel - Press Play/Pause+Meny buttons
until you see the apple logo
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer

  • Plugged Ipod into Mac after using Windows--Now Corrupted

    My friend recently plugged my ipod into his mac and my pc computer wont recognize it anymore. The screen is different when it says "do not disconnect" like it would be if you use a mac with it. I got it to recognize it once, restored it and loaded up my music again which worked until I plugged it in to my computer the next time and the mac do no disconnect came up and now some songs wont play and it will cycle through playlists and skip some of the songs. Please help...i want to kill my friend who plugged it into his mac.

    Daphne,
    Quite alright, as for the music transfer you can still use said way as before.
    Using your ipod as a disk to move music is really only good if you have the original hard drive to use. You must copy the files onto your ipod in a different manner then that of iTunes. Example You would open my computer drag the files 'including music' to your ipod. You would then plug your ipod to your mac, it will mount a little ipod icon on your desktop, you would then drag the files off of your ipod either into the correct music folder or (if you have it setup in itunes to copy to itunes music folder) right to itunes.
    As for formated correctly Macs are more then capable of reading and writing to an ipod formated on Windows. However you will have a much smoother experience if you formate it to work with your mac.
    Hope that helps,

  • Connecting ipod to mac after using windows

    I had a windows xp computer that crashed and lost everything on hard drive. I was using an Ipod (serial # YM619Q49TJT) with the windows xp computer that is now dead, but my ipod still has all of audio music saved on it. I just purchased a Macbook laptop (Leopard 10.5.5 operating system). Is it possible to transfer audio files from my ipod to the new mac without losing all my files on my ipod. I found many articles that show you how to use ipod as a hard drive to transfer audio files from one hard drive to another, but the original computer is existing and in my case I don't have the original computer. I am also not sure if there will be an issue with my ipod first being formatted with a windows xp operating system and now moving the files to a Leopard Operating system?

  • Ipod not recognized when using an external hardrive, please help me!

    I have a 4 gig ipod mini, I have been using it for over a year with no problems. recently, my computer will not recognize my ipod when it is plugged in with my external hardrive. I have chosen to keep all of my music on a 100 gig external hardrive, because I have a lot of it. when I plug my ipod into my computer and run Itunes my computer will recognize my ipod, open itunes and then the program will freeze. i can also plug in my external hardrive and when i do my ipod is not recognized by the computer at all. I have tried, numerous scans of both hardrives, multiple updates, new USB cords, I have the most current version of itunes and yet I come to see no results, if you know anything please help me, I don't know what else to do.

    I have a 5th generation 60GB iPod which I have been
    trying to update to software version 1.2 (from
    1.1.1.) but I keep getting the error message
    duplicated in the subject line of this post.
    I wouldn't mind to keep using V.1.1, except that I
    want to play a game I downçloaded from iTunes and
    which requires 1.2 to work.
    Any help?

    I have the exact same problem with mine only that it is 30GB and it has version 1.1.2 on it

  • Saving my design in CS6 is now corrupted - please help!

    Hello,
    I saved a design in CS6 which recorded the save as 100% completed.
    However when I now open the document I get an image of a red line (left screen shot).
    I have also tried to open this in Fireworks and the preview is correct (right screen shot) but when it opens in full I get the red line again.
    Does any one know what the issue is and whether this is retrievable as this design is the accumalation of two days work?
    Kind regards.

    It doesn't sound promising.  I can see it was saved as a PSD, in which case I believe the preview is an embedded JPG, so not necessarily indicative of the file integrity.  Does its file size on the HDD tally with what you’d expect?
    It also looks like you are using Windows.  Is that right, and if so, what version?

    Hi. I am currently using an old Firefox browser on Windows XP. I have attempted to update to the latest version but it keeps failing - download extractions fail. The file shows as corrupt and will not download or install.

    Try to download Firefox here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.6.6&os=win&lang=en-US
    http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.6/win32/en-US/
    You can also try to disable the real-time file check in your anti-virus software during the download and installation of Firefox.
    Do not forget to re-enable once you're done.

    the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer. (when putting ipod into mac) help,. now have no music on my ipod. how do i sort this out?

    - Verify the file and disk formats on your camcorder and on your friend computer whether they support what you want to do. Also, if you are using a specific application to do the task, you may need to verify an application whether it supports the file format (e.g. MPEG4, Apple Intermediate Codec).
    - Verify the device cable type whether Mac OS X 10.4.x supports.
    - Verify the device compatibility with Mac OS X 10.4.x.
    - Check an available firmware or driver for the camcorder that has developed after Mac OS X 10.4.4.
    - Try diagnosing and repairing local hard disk and camcorder's drive directory.
    - Verify disks permissions issue.
    - Verify whether the disk is TOO warm or cold to read.
    - If every troubleshooting does not solve the issue, consider to reformat the camcorder drive.
