Corrupted and can't be found on mycomputer or iTunes?!?

When connecting to iTunes it said my ipod has been corrupted? I have no idea what this means or why it happened. My PC does not recognize the ipod nor does iTunes. Is there anyone that can help?! Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I went along to Apple store to see a technician. He hooked my ipod up to a mac laptop and it synced with no problems using my usb cable. The techy restored my ipod and I came home full of glee, however it still will not connect to my PC and when it does it still states it's corrupted with unknown error 1418 (this was originally error 1415 until the tech dude restored it). As stated in all the support pages, i completed the 5 R's (minus the restore section!!), I have also wiped my PC of all itunes data and reinstalled from scratch, now my ipod is freezing on the 'do not disconnect screen' after trying to load for about 5 minutes. I am going insane!! I am returning to the apple store tomorrow and will let you know how I get on.
If anyone has any information regarding this problem that will save me the trips to the apple store and the inevitable cash i am going to have to fork out to fix my beloved Pod.....please let me know.

    Hmmm.. sorry to jump in but...
    I Wish I had seen this before I got mine.
    Mine has been doing this auto eject stuff too.
    I think I just plugged it in and TM let me select it but is it possible
    I should have reformatted it with DU first, like with all the WD drive problems ?
    Is it too late for that ?
    Or just try to return it or get rid of it ?

    Hi, I’ve recently bought an iPad2 and can’t get connected with AppStore or iTunes, when I tap on these icons a grey page pops up saying is loading but never opens the page, no failure message is displayed, it just keep saying is loading.
    Apparently it is not an issue with wifi since Safari, You Tube and Maps work well, I’ve tried some of the tips, e.g. log off/on my Id, change password but no one worked.
    Your help will be highly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Luis.

    Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

    Do you have iTunes match? You need a computer to manage an iTunes match library.

  • After using an ExtendScript (via ESTK) Illustrator becomes corrupted and "Can't open illustration."

    Hey, thanks for reading.
    I'm having a strange problem with Illustrator CS5 and ESTK CS5. I'm new to writing ExtendScripts, so I haven't a clue what could be going wrong here but here's the skinny:
    I've written the following code, which is very specialized to the exact document I'm working with. Using the ExtendScript Toolkit, the script goes through the following loops:
    The primary problem:
    For some reason, running this script causes Illustrator to become somehow corrupted. I can continue working with the document as long as it is open, but if I try to close it and re-open it, I get the infuriatingly unhelpful error dialog "Can't open illustration." With no extra details.
    The same error comes up if I try to open any other .ai files. Shutting down and rebooting doesn't fix the problem. I have to completely uninstall Illustrator, then re-install it before it will work again. And even then, if I try to open the ExtendScript-corrupted file the whole Illustrator app gets corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
    Oh, also Illustrator itself shows up as "(Not responding)" while the script is running, but the ESTK console clearly shows that the script is chugging along as expected.
    Specifics about the script:
    There are 4 "Buttons" on the document, and a library full of nearly-identical symbols in the Library (different colored backgrounds for the buttons).
    The script cycles through every symbol in the library, replacing and deleting instances of the previous symbol.
    Then, for each symbol, it cycles through an array (technically an object-literal) of { language-code: "string" } pairs, and saves a .png of each artboard for each word.
    What follows is a pared-down version of the full script:
    (I tried to add a few $.sleep(10); calls, hoping that maybe just a brief slowdown in the processes might help. It didn't.)
    This script (in its original form) outputs a ton of files very, very quickly.
    Script Example
    var folder = Folder.selectDialog();                     // Ask for a folder choice.
    var aDoc = app.activeDocument;                        // Declare an active Document reference.
    var textLayer = aDoc.layers.getByName('text');   // Get the text layer, for moving it back/forward
    var textFrms = aDoc.textFrames;                       // Get all text frames, for language swap
    var allSymbols = aDoc.symbols;                         // Get array of all symbols in the symbol library
    var allSymbolItems = aDoc.symbolItems;            // Get an array of all symbol instances in the active document
    var helpTextArray =
        en: "help",
        az: "Kömək",

        el: "Bοήθεια",
        en: "help",

         allSymbolItems.length > 0 &&      // and we've got symbol instances "symbolItems"
         textFrms.length > 0 ) {                 // and we've got textFrames to manipulate.

    Are there best practices that I'm unaware of here that could be causing this corruption?
    Does anyone know what could be happening?
    The only error I ever get is "Can't open illustration." There's never anything more helpful, so I have no idea what could be going wrong.
    If there's any more information that would be of use to anyone I'd be happy to share. This is wasting a lot of my time and making me pull my hair out like crazy,

    I have not had the time to look over your script but at a glance there are a few things I would handle differently…
    Firstly returning a document to a given state… If you play with this snippet you can see that app.undo() returns to the last called app.redraw() if there is one else it undo's the whole script…
    #target illustrator
    doSymbols();
    function doSymbols() {
        var doc = app.activeDocument;
        var sym = doc.symbols[0];
        for ( var i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
            var foo = doc.symbolItems.add( sym );
            foo.position = Array( i * 72, -( i * 72 ) );
            app.redraw(); // Comment this out to see…
        app.undo(); // Returns to last redaw state if any…?
    Secondly your symbols… You know you can just change the symbol instance's symbol reference…? If they are almost the same particualy size then its an easy swap…?
    #target illustrator
    doSymbols();
    function doSymbols() {
        var doc = app.activeDocument;
        var sym = doc.symbols[1]; // Next symbol in the palette
        for ( var i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
            doc.symbolItems[i].symbol = sym;
            app.redraw();

  • Ipod corrupted and can't connect.

    Please can somebody help me.
    My Ipod isn't detected by itunes when i connect it. Windows detects the ipod, it is all connected properly, i have the latest version of itunes.
    The problem is that the files on the Ipod are corrupted.Button Reset doesn't work, and i can't use the Itunes restore feature because Itunes isn't detecting my Pod. I need some way of doing a hard reset on my ipod and removing/updating the corrupt files, without using itunes. I am also using a windows XP-SP2, not a Mac.
    Here is a compiled screenshot of things that are wrong.
    vvv When i access ipod via run command i cant get into any of the files, or remove them i just get the same error vvv
    Windows XP Pro 2 GB Ram, Dual core AMD 2.6

    It does hurt to do that.
    Use a rear port (the front ones are slaves and can be underpowered and flaky) and connect your iPod. Look in your Windows utilities and you should find Scandisk, run it, select your iPod, and see if it does any repairs. If it does then Restore your iPod in iTunes.
    But use the rear port when you try this and disconnect any other USB devices other than your keyboard and mouse.
    And do a safe eject in the future.

  • Switched from vista to W7 and can't locate my audiobook files in iTunes. help

    My Vista os crashed, and I'm now using Windows 7 on the same desktop computer. I am not a teenager, considerably older!, and thus technology is not intuitive. I had backed up my files before the crash, and had music, but mostly audiobooks in my iTunes file. Now that I'm in Windows 7, and have downloaded iTunes again, how do I get to my old iTunes files? please help.

    I'm suspecting that you're not using iPhoto properly.
    1) Create a temporary folder on the desktop and put the pics there.
    2) Open iPhoto and use the "Import" function to access the photos.

  • I have installed Firefox 4 twice, and each time I get a message that the file is corrupt and can't be opened.

    I ordered a download of PagePlus X5 from Serif in the UK. The program is 706 MB. Several times, only 300+ MBs downloaded. The program had .exe but the partial download had .msi. The message that came up was "Setup was unable to find the msi package or patch . . ." Serif suggested I install Firefox as a web browser to see if the program would download. That is what I tried to do, and that is when I got the message that the file was corrupt. Serif is sending me a disk. Is there a disk for Firefox?

    How large is your iPhone's storage? 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB? You can go to Settings > General > Usage, and that will tell you how much storage you have used and how much you have left. If the storage is truly almost full, then you would need to either delete files from your iPhone, or sync less files from iTunes to your iPhone.
    Hope this helps!
