Everytime I connect...says Ipod is corrupt

Everytime I connect my 2nd gen Ipod shuffle it says it is corrupted and needs to be restored. I restore.....add songs to playlist.....works fine.....but once I unplug and plug it back in I get the same corrupt thing all over again and have to restore and do the same thing all over again????
Is anybody else having this problem? I have installed Itunes and uninstalled....am using the latest 7.4 version. I am stuck and completely frustrated and afraid to plug it in the dock.
HELPP!!!!!

Change the drive letter on your Shuffle, use something like M or P or Z. To do so, connect ONLY your iPod (to a rear port), keyboard and mouse to the USB chain, disconnect from any network you might be on, and follow this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499

Thanks!

I haven't researched it and I don't claim to know everything about iTunes, but it has always been my understanding that you can only use one computer per iPod, but you can have multiple iPods per computer. From what I understand, this is to prevent illegal sharing and whatnot.

Podcast "played" identifier reset everytime I connect my ipod to computer

In the podcast section of your ipod, there is a little mark next to each of the podcasts that you have not yet listened to. Everytime I connect my ipod to my computer, all of these are reset.
So, if I've listened to half of the podcasts on my ipod, then connect the ipod to my computer to transfer a song, then disconnect it - all of the podcasts are again showing as unplayed. This is extremely annoying and makes it very hard to keep up with all of the podcasts, because I don't know which episodes I've already listened to without going into each one and jumping around until I recognize a part.
I've already reinstalled itunes, upgraded itunes, reloaded the ipod using the ipod installer, and updated the ipod - no luck.
What gives?

Yeah, I have this problem, it comes and goes. Not only me, but a couple of people in this forum - but this problem has NEVER been answered. Dunno why.

You can not prevent it using any setting on the phone, just as you can not do so with any digital camera.

Everytime I connect my iPod to USB, iTunes says the following: This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes.

I have the latest 64-bit version of iTunes on Windows 7 Ultimate. Everything was fine until recently. Now when I connect my iPod Touch to the USB to sync with iTunes, I get the following message: "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes" I have removed, repaired, and installed the 64-bit version numerous times as well as disabled all antivirus / adware utilities. Same message appears when I plug in my iPod. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you try removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using these instructions:

My ipod is not being recognised when i connect it to my computer and itunes crashes everytime i connect my ipod. Suggestions please?

I'm having problems with my ipod. Everytime I connect it to my computer, itunes crashes and it says that the device is not recognised. Any suggestions pleeease?

HI, if anyone can help, I appreciate it, I tried to
return it but lost the receipt and I bought it a week
ago so that kinda stings. Ok my PC froze today like
it did a million times before and I had to restore
it, after I restored it I tried to hooki up my ipod
and it said usb device not reconized. When I clicked
on that it said device is not reconized by windows. I
tried different usb ports and the same thing keeps
happening, but the ipod works when I hook it up to my
360 and all my songs are still on there. I also tried
re installing itunes and that didn't work either. If
anyone knows what I can do please help. Thanks.
I just got home from my dad's house and my ipod works fine on his PC, so I thought maybe my usb ports are faulty but all my other devices work on all my ports, the only thing that dosent work is my pod, so my pc isn't busted. If anyone knows what I can do please let me know, thanks for the help.

Even after restore, it says iPod is corrupted

First, I tried to listen to my iPod today and all of the songs were just gone. I listened to it last night and it was fine, I didn't even update it, but this morning all of the songs are gone. So, I tried to sync it but it says my iPod is corrupted and I need to restore. After going through the whole process restoring, I see the progress bar on the iPod and it completes. The computer says it'll show up in the sources list in a second, and it acts like it's fine. However, after a few minutes when it does connect, I still get the error message I originally get when I plugged the iPod in, saying the iPod is corrupted and needs to be restored. I've had this iPod since it first came out and I don't know how I could live without it, especially since I'm going on a long trip tomorrow...bad timing. Is my iPod dead?

Does it play any of the songs you have in it? Formatting may be the solution. It happened to me before and it even showed me the sad iPod icon, but it worked again after I formated and restored.
Good luck

Programs recognizing, But saying ipod is corrupt.

I have the 4g Ipod Touch. Ive had it about 2 weeks now, And when I connect it to my computer now Itunes detects it but said it was corrupted and is now asking me to restore or set up a new ipod. And also my music rescue program is saying the Ipod is corrupt so I cant get all my music off of it. Does anyone know what could have caused this. And how to solve it without losing all my music?

Yes. Just sign in using the same email address as before.
1. Make sure you are signed in with the same account used for the original purchase.
2. Locate the app in the App Store and click the BUY APP button.
3. You will see a dialog similar to the one below. Click the Buy button.
!http://km.support.apple.com/library/APPLE/APPLECARE_ALLGEOS/HT2519/HT2519-5.png !
4. You will then see a dialog similar to one below. Click OK to continue with the download.

But you can't do that with music, only apps.
Hope that answers your question.

ITUNES SAYS IPOD IS CORRUPT?!?!

well hello there. ill start from the beginning...
i own an ipod video....
when i plug my ipod into my computer, this window appears in the upper left hand corner that says "autoplay" with a flashlight that is searching and a progress bar at the bottom. i dont know what this does, or if it the result of anything. so then i proceed to wait for my ipod to be recognized by itunes.
as soon as my ipod is recognized a window pops up telling me my ipod is corrupt and that i will need to restore my ipod. it also tells me that i will lose everything off of my ipod upon restoration.
so i did exactly that. all my files were lost and the restore process worked perfectly. i thought i was in the clear until as soon as the restore finished and itunes recognized my ipod again. the same "corrupt" message popped up again. my ipod was rendered useless because i could not sync it with itunes and all my songs and movies were deleted.
...its now two weeks later....
i have tried restoring many times. i have reset my ipod many times. i have reinstalled itunes twice and i have restarted my computer many times. i have also gotten very annoyed.
so this is where you come in to save the day. i have no clue what to do. a possible reason is that my computer has a virus and has been acting wierd. i cant think of anything else to do.
anything to help...any piece of advice...would be greatly appreciated.
-italynlprkn
P.S. if this has been asked before, don't yell, just show me the way.

Well you think you got problems?
I own the second gen iPod before the clickweel even ccame out. Mine always says corrupt, all i did was run a virus scan through my iPod, there was a virus i accidentally dowloaded. try that, then take your iPod to where you got it from, or call apple. Emailing them stinks, all i get back is a form letter telling me something totally unrelated. My batterry meter is messed up and shuts dows when it reaxhes full power. So i learned one thing. I smacked my iPod real hard in the back and the the batterry came ack to lfe, weird huh?

I just downloaded the latest version of itunes, and it tells me my ipod is corrupted, message 1418. It would not let me restore my ipod, showing me yet another error message. I can't figure out what is wrong. I restored my ipod at a friends house, but it's still showing the same problem on my computer. I have no idea what to do! someone please help! Everything worked fine till this version of itunes came out!

Some people have had success trying the fix mentioned here.
Error 1418.
"showing me yet another error message."
You must be more specific about which error message. There are so many.
