Corrupt iPod...do I need a new one?

I just got the 8g nano and go to connect it but theres a pop up saying its corrupt and try to restore...so I try to restore it but the ipod wont stay connected long enough to finish...do I need a new iPod?

I am having the same problem with my Nano 4GB. The last thing I did was show my friend how awesome the video quality was and then we left and went about our day. I can home and was planning on listening to some tunes and it just got stuck. No sound...nothing! But I could still sort of use the menu and scroll. Now it's just stuck no backlight but you can see that it's in play mode with the battery looking to be charging but it's totally dead.
I tried to connect it to my itunes and itunes said that I had an unknown ipod...an unrecognizable ipod that's corrupt and I should restore to factory setting but after it tried it said I couldn't.
very bizarre. I ordered it online. I'm not sure if I should take it to an apple store or contact apple over the phone.
What a bummer. It's my first real ipod.

  • IPod stolen, so need a new one do I just connect it to my PC

    Hi, Probably panicking but am going on holiday in two days and can't go off without iPod so need to buy a new one tomorrow night if I can find one and then upload over night, do I need to load the software again or is it just plug and play. Thanks for your help K

    Just connect the new one and follow the on screen instructions, it will find your existing software and update from iTunes.

  • When I trade my cracked iPod in for a new one, will the information from my iPod be transferred to the new one?

    When I Trade My Cracked iPod for a New One, Will the Information From the Cracked iPod Be Transferred to the New One?

    That is done through iTunes.  If everything on your cracked iPod is in your iTunes library, you just need to sync the new iPod the same way.
    If there is content on the cracked iPod that is not in your iTunes library, that content will be lost, unless you transfer its content to your computer before the "trade in."  Content that you purchased from the iTunes Store can be re-downloaded at no cost, using the Purchased screen in the iTunes Store.

  • I can't get any of my applications to open. I can't connect to my Wi fi and my MacBook Pro says it's not charging. It is 4 yrs old and I've taken it in for repairs 3 times this year. Also was told my cd rom packed it in. Is it possible I need a new one?

    Frustrated with my Mac book pro. It's 4 yrs old and I've taken it in 3 times this year for different issues. Just last week they said my Cd Rom has packed it in. As of this week, I can't connect to wifi or get any of my applications to respond. Also won't hold a charge :(.  Is it possible I need a new one? I paid 2200.00 for thus one. Seems like it should last longer than that. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    You would do better to ask in the Mac Forum - this is the iPad forum.

  • I have an older Ipod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new Ipod Touch and cannot be updated.  Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?

    I have an older iPod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new iPod Touch and Itunes cannot be updated.  Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?  It is my understanding that the music cannot be saved onto my new iTunes, b/c I did not have iCloud. I have over 2,000 songs I just cannot part with. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help some how!!  THANKS!

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

  • When i tried to sync my new iPhone to Itunes, I accidentally clicked on sync with my ipod, instead of creating a new one. So now my iphone is the replica of my ipod, deleting my contacts and pictures etc. Is there a way to get it restored?

    Only if a backup of the iPhone with all that data on it exists.  If one does, restore the iPhone using that backup.

  • My phone is completely broken, my plan isn't up yet.. but i need a new one?, my phone is completely broken, my plan isn't up yet.. but i need a new one?

    could i buy a new phone from apple if i have a 5c. and it's broken.. i need a new one asap but i have a small pricing range.

    your iPhone 5C is probably still under warranty if the problem is covered by the warranty.  Otherwise, you can get an out of warranty replacement for your iPhone.  Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

    You don't need a new one just the glass replaced.

  • I have a 4s and i need a new one i was wondering if they can check to see how much the one i have now is worth and then i can just pay the difference like that

    No, Apple does not take trade ins.  Your carrier may have different polices regarding trade ins. Best to contact them about it.
    Alternatively you can use Apple's Recycling Program with one of their partners.  They will give you an Apple Store Gift card with the value they determine the iPhone has. And you can use the Gift card in the purchase of a new iPhone.
    You can go here to see how much your current iPhone 4s is worth in the recycling program.

  • Can I exchange my iPod 5th gen for a new one

    Can I exchange my iPod 5th gen for a new one

    If you are in the return periiod for where ever you purchased the iPod and there is nothing physically wrong, they may allow you to return it, then you can purchase a new one.
    Here's the return policy for Apple in case you purchase it directly from Apple: http://store.apple.com/us/help/returns_refund
    If the iPod has an issue, the seller may not allow you to return it and you may need to obtain service from Apple in order to get a working iPod: http://selfsolve.apple.com
    I hope this helps.

  • Edit playlist on iPod, simply creates a whole new one when synced

    Don't get me wrong, it's amazing to be able to change playlists right on the iPod (under 4.0), but when sync to iTunes, it keeps the same list and just adds a new one.
    Granted, if you delete your entire iPod music, you still got everything on your library, so it's 'safe' to delete. So why can't I remove (under 4.0) music on the iPod and have it removed from that same playlist, instead of just creating a new one?
    I need to experiment with it some more. Anyone tried some of that?

    If you have it set to sync (not manual), the +Recently Added+ playlist is one of the playlists you have set to sync (on the +Music tab+), and the missing podcasts are on the iPod, that's about all I can think of asking.
    You may want to try doing a Restore to erase and initialize the iPod touch.

  • HP Mini 110-3131DX. Hard drive replacement; do I need a new one and where would I get it?

    I dropped my HP Mini 110-3131DX directly on it's spine and ever since it only turns on to show the startup screen and these error messages:
    HARD DISK ERROR
    Please run the hard disk test in system diagnostics.
    Hard Disk 1 (3F1)
    F2  System Diagnostics
    Then, it takes a LONGGGG time to even get me to the right screen to do the test ( I have to restart the computer to be able to renavigate to the screen) and it says Hard Disk test failed. What do I do now? Do I have to put in a new hard drive? Where do I buy my specific new hard drive? I really need some help.
    This question was solved.

  • Will Apple exchange my iPod touch 4g with a new one if my current one is deffective

    Ok so, I got my iPod touch 4g (white) on June 19th after i made a bet with my moms boyfriend to not drink pop for a year
    So when I opened the iPod, it wouldnt connect to wi-fi. Guys, dont ask me to reset network settings or anything, because..
    IVE TRIED E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G, but nothing has worked. So I called Apple and the guy on the phone said to go and make
    an appointment at the Genius Bar, so i did, for 1:30pm today.
    So my question is: Since the guy told me it's probably a deffective product, will Apple exchange my current iPod
    for a new one? (my current one has no scratches, still has the headphones & charger, with the manuals, the box, stickers & everything)
    Thank youu

    what do you mean by a refurbished one?
    Like a used one?? But what if i return the whole packaging (i kept the manuals & stuff, like everything )
    Could the person at the Genius Bar then give me a new one if I return the whole packaging ?
    Lol sorry for all the questions, I'm just really worried :/
