Any way to repair a corrupt ipod without losing data?

I've only had my ipod nano a few months and apparently for some reason it has now corrupted, meaning that I have to restore it and thereby lose all my songs. Does anyone know of any way that I can fix this problem without losing the data? Or can anyone recommend a service provider that can help?

You don't say which OS your iPod was formatted on. It may not be a hopeless situation if the iPod is recognized as a removeable drive in (say) Windows Explorer.

Jailbroken phones often cannot be fixed. Apple released a warning about this years ago:
Inability to apply future software updates: Some unauthorized modifications have caused damage to the iOS that is not repairable. This can result in the hacked iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iOS update is installed.

Is there any way to find my stolen iPod without find my iPhone app

Is there any way to find my stolen ipod without find my iPhone app.

No app is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

My one year old disabled my iphone 5 so i need to "connect it to itunes" as the screen directs. I know how to do this with my laptop but it says i will be doing a factory reset. is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything?

Long story short, my one year old disabled my iphone5 and I need to "connect to itunes" as the screen instructs. I went through the steps and it says that I will be doing a factory reset and I will lose everything. Is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything?? I'm mainly concerned about my pictures and videos.

Once the Device is in Recovery Mode... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... after the successful Recovery... Restore from the most recent Backup...

Any way to delete songs off iPod without iTunes?

I'm planning on going on a long trip where I would prefer not to take my powerbook.
Is there any way to delete files/songs off the iPod without a computer? That way I can import more photos [with the camera connector] when I see that I'm running out of space in the field?
Thanks

you need a computer. select manual update, and you can pull songs on and off you iPod with ease.

How can I sync my ipod without losing data?

I bought my ipod around half a year ago and had it synced and everything to my Mac for school. The school took my computer for summer and i backed up the files onto my external harddrive. But i have bought songs and apps on my ipod touch which is no longer connected to any itunes library.
How can i sync this ipod with a itunes library without losing everything on my ipod??
(note: the computer i am using now is a windows, with an itunes library that also has music bought on it)

Tough spot if you want Apple only SW, no idea where you can get where you want without some decent 3rd party SW, which as a rule outshines Apple's SW by light years.

Any way to fix a corrupt disk without a SL disc?

Ran Disc Utility today and got this:
The volume X452 was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk.
My SL disc is a 15 hr drive away, anyway to fix this?

Sorry, but unless you can boot from another volume you cannot repair the drive. You do not require the SL installer disc, but you do need to boot from another SL system. Or, if your computer has a Firewire port then you could connect it to another Intel Mac running SL and use Disk Utility from the other computer to repair your drive.
Now, that said you can attempt a local fix depending on what the problem is. Here's how:
Boot into single-user mode. After startup is completed you will be in command line mode and should see a prompt with a cursor positioned after it. At the prompt enter the following then press RETURN:
/sbin/fsck -fy
If you receive a message that says "*** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***" then re-run the command until you receive a message that says "** The volume (nameofvolume) appears to be OK." If you re-run the command more than seven times and do not get the OK message, then the drive cannot be repaired this way.
If you were successful then enter:
reboot
and press RETURN to restart the computer.
Now the above cannot effect the repairs that Disk Utility can when booted from another drive or computer. But it can fix some problems. And, you should consider installing AppleJack - CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.

Any way to repair a corrupt iphoto library?

iPhoto seems to hang on startup because the library appears to be corrupt. What's the procedure to rebuilt the library?
Thanks,
Dwight

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

You can transfer you iTunes purchases to your new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. You can manage music amond different computers by:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
If you wnat to make the new computer your syncing computer you must restore the iPod.
- See if you can make a backup of the iPod on the new computer by right clicking on the iPod in iTunes and select backup. If successsful, restore the iPod from that backup after tansfering your iTunes purchases to the new computer.
- If you can't make a backup copy/move the backup file from the old computer, That file is located:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
You may have to turn off hide hidden files.
If you do not have the backup file you have to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and sync your stuff to the iPod. You will loss all your app data.

How to repair the Time Capsule without losing data?

Hi everyone,
I am from Vietnam. My 2TB Time Capsule is not working anymore. The LED light is not lit. Brought it for warranty claim. Apple reseller in my country agree to replace a new one for me. But the problem is I will lose all the data. I believe it's HDD still good. But they can't help me to get data. Please advise where can repair the Time capsule in which they can retain the data for me.

Before you do this be sure and let Apple know that is what you are doing so it will not void the warranty on your Time Capsule.
That will void the warranty. Generally Apple will not allow you to recover data.
The TC is basically a backup target for TM.. this is not considered valuable in and of itself. You simply buy the new TC and make a new clean backup.
If you put data on the TC, it is without any means to backup itself and nor can TM backup data on network drives.. so you are stuck. And that is why we do not recommend TC usage as a NAS.
See if the reseller is strict about the policy.. some will be prepared to help you out.
The hard disk has to be removed from the TC.. which is a sealed unit. The hard disk can then be put in a USB holder and the material on the drive copied to the new TC, or any external or network drive.
There is absolutely no way without removing the drive in a dead TC.

Possible to restore without losing data?

Hi. My 30GB iPod comes up with the message, "Connect to your computer. Use iTunes to restore." However, when I connect the iPod to my computer, and click the option to restore, the following message comes up, "Are you sure you want to restore the iPod to it's factory settings? All of your songs and other data will be erased." As I have music on my iPod which is not in my iTunes library, and I would prefer not to lose this music, is there any way I can restore the iPod without losing all my music? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry, no. A restore will wipe out all of your iPod content, there is no way around it. This is EXACTLY why it is STRONGLY SUGGESTED that you regularly backup your library by burning data discs, using an external hard drive, etc. Relying on the iPod as your only backup is a recipe for disaster, as you have now discovered.

HT1212 How to reset password without losing data

Hi apple community, How do I restore an Ipod without losing data that hasn't been backed up? The photos in question were dowloaded onto the ipod from a digital camera via itunes.After downloading the computer crashed and all data was irretrievably lost.I wonder, if I reset to factory settings, will I lose all those photos? Thanks. Even before my daughter forgot her password it wouldn't let me transfer the photos from the ipod back onto the computer. I hope someone can help! Thanks.
