BRAND NEW iPod not "recognized" by itunes and "appears to be corrupted"????
I recently purchased an 80gb ipod classic and when I came home to connect it to my computer, itunes opened and the following message appeared:
iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod
I just got this, and had never even turned it on, so how can it already be corrupted? I tried disconnecting and then reconnecting the ipod, to no avail. I then restored the ipod, again still message. I even quit iTunes and then reopened it, and still it says the same thing.
Here is a screenshot of what I'm seeing:

Any idea on what's going on? This is really annoying/frustrating considering it's brand new.
ughh

Thanks, I ended up getting the newest version of iTunes (I had 7, just not 7.7 or whatever that little insignificant update was) and then tried again. This time, itunes itserlf wouldn't even open because that version of itunes only worked with Mac OS X 10.4.10, and I had 10.4.4
I did a software update for my OS, which I HATE doing because of all the glitches and possible problems associated with updates but restarted the computer.
After doing Opaldad's helpful tip, I connected the ipod and restored it. After that, its working perfectly.
Thanks for the help
and to anyone who has this in the future, make sure you have the current version of itunes and your OS
Now, just have to wait for my 14 gb of music to upload

Why is my ipod not recognized in itunes and content appears to be lost
I recently connected my ipod to charge, when itunes did not come up I found that it was open by another user on our pc. I went to close itunes from there session But it was frozen. I had to press control alt delete to end task. When it closed I opened it back up in my windows session and found all my content was lost and it didn't recognize my ipod. itunes wants to reset all settings to factory and delete any content that may still be on there. When the ipod is ejected it shows nothing on there but when i plug it in show my ipod name, and some content appears to still be there, in my computer in usb port (G:). Please help I hope I didn't loose all my music!!!
What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

Just bought an IPod Classic and put 3 songs on my iTunes account - 1 purchased and 2 from a CD. I can't sync and the screen shot shown in the help section doesn't ressemble my scren views. i have now been on hold for 55 minutes despite a mesage saying "15 minutes or more" that implied a much quicker experience. This is really an unimpressive begining.

IPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs
iPod is recognized by iTunes and computer, but wil not sync songs. I have about 1400 songs and just got 40 more, and before I bought those 40 my iTunes was wiped out. I still had the files so my iTunes was filled up again. Now, when I connect my iPod to the computer it is recognized and then it says "do not disconnect" then after a few seconds it says "ipod update is complete- ok to disconnect". but it did not upload any songs. How can I make it work?
If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
-- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC
Then restore your iPod to factory settings.

My ipod touch is not recognized on itunes and will not turn on or even give me the battery sign that it is dead. I turned it off and it won't turn back on now. The screen is completely black and won't do anything. I have tried charging it over night and nothing happened. It was never near water. I have tried troubleshooting it by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button, but nothing happened and it didn't work. What can I do to fix it?

Hello Jennifer,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Sorry that your iPod isn't recognized. The following articles should help you sort out what is going on and get your iPod working again. I didn't see if you are using OS X or Windows, so I included the articles for each.

How can I transfer the music in my old Ipod classic to a new Ipod, not only the Itunes purchases?
How can I transfer the music in my old Ipod classic to a new Ipod (not only the Itunes purchases)?
You'll need to copy the music from the old iPod back to iTunes first before you can transfer it to your new iPod. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
