Corrupted iPod... and iTunes won't let me restore
Because of an interrupted sync, my iPod is not being recognized by my Mac, or rather, iTunes tells me that my iPod is "corrupted" and needs to be restored. But when I try to restore it, iTunes tells me that it can't complete the operation because the iPod is "busy". Help!

I have a new laptop so I download again iTunes...the problem here is that I just got a cd and I tried to put it on my iPod and it won't let me, how can I fix this?
The iPod sees the new computer as a new iTunes library. You can only sync with one iTunes library. However, you can manage music among disfferent computers. See:

I have an older ipod, and it won't let me download apps. It says my iPod isn't compatible?
I have an older ipod, and it won't let me download apps. It says my iPod isn't compatible? Then when i plug my iPod onto iTunes it says it's fully updated.
You don't say which version of iPod you have but apparently it's fully updated to it's capability yet not to the level that newer iPods can go. Some apps do require the latest IOS level.

Help!
I synced my iPhone 4, but it keeps getting the red exclamation points and an error message when I try to download the latest software. And, it won't let me restore the phone without the latest software. I'm stuck.
Then, this morning, the phone locked up completely. I got it to turn off finally, by holding down the power button and home button at the same time for more than 10 seconds. But still no luck with the software download.
It's Thanksgiving, and can't go to Apple.
My phone is my only telephone (no home phone), and I use it to keep track of two email addresses (personal and work). So I'm anxious to have it fully operational.
Suggestions? Thanks!!!one can't update itunes or safari seperate on the iphone those 2 are a part of the ios update
you need to update your computer and then update your phone
or if you have ios5 I guess you can update from settings -
I just got a new iPhone and iTunes won't let me make purchases, I don't remember the answers to my security questions. What can I do to reset them?

I attempted to update to iOS 8 and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes will only let me restore to factory settings. My question: Can I restore from iTunes backup after restoring to factory settings?
Hi, kformagg
I would say yes. I once had the same problem (iPhone 5, IOS 7) and first restored to factory settings and after that from iCloud backup.
It worked very well. -

Need to restore iPod, but iTunes won't let me...
Apparently, I disconnected my iPod the wrong way (I will admit to that) and now I need to restore it. That is fine and dandy, I don't mind. But whenever I go into iTunes to perform the restore, it's giving me a funny message and it won't let me do it. It says something like not having the proper update or proper software, but the silly thing is, I don't have the option to update it and I shouldn't have to anyway, because I just got the dang thing a week ago! This is very upsetting, and I hope someone here can help. It is a 30 GB 5th gen.
I know the difference between restoring and updating, it's just that when I go to restore it, I get two buttons. One says restore, and the other, which is faded out anyway, says update. But when I click restore, I get a message saying that it can't restore. I am actually having problems getting my computer to even recognize the iPod right now, so I can't tell you what the message said specifically. Only that it said that I could not restore the iPod because I didn't have the right kind of update or software to do so. I'll keep working on it and see if anything changes, but right now, not much progress is being made.

What can I do if I have got a new iTunes card, but still have got money left on an iTunes card from another country?
The money I have got left isn't enough to buy anything, but iTunes won't let me change country until I have used all the money!

Old computer crashed and iTunes won't let me sync my old iPod
My old computer crashed and when I plug my old iPod into my new computer, iTunes asks me if I'd like to erase all the music from the iPod and copy whatever music I have within my new iTunes. I lost a lot of my c.d.'s when I moved, so I don't want to do that. How do I get all my music from my old iPod onto my new computer?
Hello Justin,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
See this article for instructions on how manually copy the contents of your iPod back over to your new computer. Even though the article mentions Vista and XP, Windows 7 should be similar to Vista.

Otherwise, see this older post by Zevoneer for countless other ways to copy it back over.

Can someone please help me on this!!
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -

My iPod had an old software... I needed to update it. Then iTunes told me I needed a newer version of iTunes. I did that. I can't remember if there was a problem.. Idk. Then iTunes wouldn't recognize my touch. Then I made a mistake of restoring it and updating it to a new I pod. I figured I could download everything again.. So no big deal. Then something happened with the iTunes or computer.... And my iPod is like when I first got it. But when I plug it in... iTunes won't recognize it.. Me and my mom are going to apple help. Troubleshooting.. But it is not working!!! Please help

My iPod is in Recovery Mode and it won't let me restore it.
My iPod touch is currently in Recovery Mode, and I'm not sure how it happened. When I plug it in to my PC, iTunes says that I must restore it. When I try to restore it, I encounter one of many problems. Sometimes the update will be corrupted after downloading, sometimes I get an error code, I once got an error code that's not even listed (1656). I've tried restoring it on multiple machines, and I'm getting a little frusturated/scared. My iPod is only a few months old. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
Edit: I've also tried restoring using an IPSW downloaded from the internet.
Edit 2: My brother is having the exact same problem with his iPhone, which isn't in Recovery Mode.Check this post: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2778443?start=0&tstart=0
