Corrupted iPod- Please help me sort it out!

Hey everybody,
First of all thanks alot for trying to help me sort out my iPod; it's truly appreciated.
Basically i have had a 30GB 5th Gen iPod Video for about 18 months. It seemed alright but recently it has become corrupted. The iPod seems to work, but when i plug it into iTunes i get this message:
"Itunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted".
I have restored the iPod to factory settings as suggested, and retried connecting it to my computer but i cannot get the iPod to sync with iTunes.
Does anyone know what i can do to fix it? I don't think i dropped it very hard but i may have dropped my iPod after a night out recently...
THANKS LOADS!!

Hi oli_t,
If a second/third attempt at restoring your iPod does not work to fix that "corrupted" message you are getting in iTunes, then you may want to try running disk error checking (sometimes just called "chkdsk") on your iPod.
For instructions and info about that, see this MS document:

  • Corrupt Ipod please help!

    I have done the 5rs the updates and even restored the 30gb ipod. I keep getting Itunes has detected an ipod that appears to be corrupt. You may need to restore this ipod or reconnect it, I restored it(many times) and the same prompt keeps coming up. Sometimes it says the the ipod needs to be reformatted to work with windows. When I attatch it to pc it always goes to auto play then is recognized by itunes...at least i assume it is because it shows up in the menu on left but my only option is to restore it. What do I do? I have been spending all of my free time trying to figure this out!!

    Hi, I have just bought another ipod, I have now a 60GB video ipod and a new 8GB ipod. Does it pose any problem when synchronising ? Can they have different names ? Thks

    You can name your iPod whatever you like. If you are connecting a second iPod for your own use, just connect it to your computer and it will update from your existing library. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update the whole library, selected playlists or you can manage it manually.
    When using a small capacity iPod like the Nano with a large library, you can choose the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" (called Sync Music - All songs and Playlists in iTunes 7). This would allow you to create a playlist specifically for your Nano and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod Nano (around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB). You can read more about playlists at these links:

  • Please help me to come out of this dilemma.

    Hi
    I am in dilemma.
    Recently i have joined a new organization which is a world leader in its field . The company name is very popular around the globe. But the thing is its almost 4 months , and as an Oracle DBA , i am not getting chance to work on something interesting / challenging . The thing is , i studied the environment here and i think most of my work involves only preparing DB docs , attending meeting and raising support tickets once a while. So very minimal technical work.
    To be honest, in last 4 years of my career i haven't worked in such a large organization before so during interview i didn't ask for type of work ,and i just wanted to join this organization as it will have a dramatic impact when i mention the name in my resume . I do not want to quit this organization so early because it will have a bad impression . Also , i think speaking to my bosses will not work because they cant help it in any way .
    I am happy with every thing else here , but i want to leave this company for doing something challenging as an Oracle DBA , but want to stay here because every thing else is damn good and also when i switch to a new company after 2 years , people will be dying to hire me ;) , am i contradicting ?
    Please help me to come out of this dilemma.
    Thanks

    Well, joining a big company from a small company and then leaving it just in few days would actually backfire. Next hiring people would think that since you were in capable to handle the workload in a big company(because you never worked in such environment before), you were thrown out. You won't be able to justify your reason that you left because you didnt' find enough challenge there because it can be completely blown away by a simple counter that how did you know that there was no challenging work there as you never stayed there even for a year too! So IMO, you would do more harm for you than anything good be quitting now. Its a mistake not to ask about the work but you have committed it already . What you should n't do is to do add another one and that is to leave the company now.
    Since you are not having much work, why don't you use it learn more about the company, its various works, other divisons and above all, to learn oracle database in your spare time. There is no place where you would be given challenges for your sake. If there is work it would come to you else you would be remaining free. You are working as a normal dba I believe not in support or something like that for you, every time, a new issue ticket is ready. If you have spare time with you, use it wisely to understand how things are working , both in your organization and with oralce db. Spend time doing trainings and learn more about the product, complete at least and then leave.
    Just my 2 cents.

    The enter key is not working in firefox but it has working fine in chrome and IE so please help me to rid out from this.

    Hello gokulaan, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

    Hi, nportillo,
    The next time you attempt to reach Skype Customer Service, try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented.  Do not choose the obvious - you have already established that path is not working.  Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.
    Skype is aware of problems reaching their customer service unit via the website, however people are getting through.  I have flagged your report for follow-up by those to whom I report.
    Regards,
    Elaine

    upgraded to lion on my 2009 summer macbook pro, now no memory left. something is screwy ...please help an old lady out..

    By memory, do you mean space on your hard disk?
    If so, here is one resource:

    Or do you really mean memory - i.e,, RAM?
    In any case, what occurs that makes you think your "memory" is gone?

  • I am asking this for my friend, who was using iphone 4. He lost it one week back and couldnt find it so far. He is having his IMEA number of the phone. Could you please help me in tracing out this?

    I am asking this for my friend, who was using iphone 4. He lost it one week back and couldnt find it so far. He is having his IMEA number of the phone. Could you please help me in tracing out this?

    If he has not previously set up Find My iPhone, there is no way to
    track the iPhone. Apple does not and will not track phones.
    Immediately change all passwords. Hopefully he was using a passcode
    to get by the lock screen. If he was, his data is protected; if not, anyone
    who finds the iPhone can access anything that was on it.

    Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. If the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode, then Restore the Firmware. If not recognized, then hold both Home and Power Buttons until the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.
