Help! My iPod is corrupted and i don't want to lose my data.

When i connect my iPod to PC its screen normally shows "do not disconnect" and it's charging, but when iTunes starts it only reports: "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting iPod." i tried reconnecting iPod many times, rebooting system even reinsalling iTunes but with no effect. When i try to open iPod disc from My Computer it only says that: "this disc is not formatted, would you like to format it now?"
I just don't know what to do... Is there any chances i can fix this problem some other way that using the "restore" option in iTunes and losing all my data? Some of them are priceless to me. Please help.

Generally, if you need to Restore, the data is pretty much gone on the iPod.
ve got there some important data which i don't want to lose
And since this data is important, you do have it on the computer and backed up on CD/DVD also, correct?

  • IPad 2 went in Recovery Mode and I don't want to lose my data

    Well, hello.
    I have a big problem with my iPad2. From the begining: I wanted to update the iOS to 7.1.2. The progress bar appeared and I left it like that. When I returned, it showed me that I have to connect the device to iTunes. When I did this, it said that I have to restore it. The big problem is that I don't have any back-up of my iPad. I had, but my old laptop broke and I can't open it anymore. So I got a new laptop (Windows 8) and never connected the iPad to it, only now, when it is in Recovery Mode and... I tried to hold the Home+Wake up button both pressed in the same time, but still no change: the Apple logo appears only for a few seconds and it goes back to the Recovery Mode screen. I also downloaded TinyUmbrella from here: http://tinyumbrella.en.lo4d.com/ but nothing happened (it appeared something like TinyUmbrella: Verifying libraries, reticualting something). I also contacted the service in my country, but they said that nothing can be done, I have to restore it and, by this, erase all the data on it. Please, is there any way in which I can save the data? I'm more than desparate

    Yes, I know... I discovered now that I have saved the photos I wanted from it long time ago (for the same reasons, i didn't wanted to lose them). So I'm kind of saved. Also it has been like crap because the laptop where I had my backups is as dead as can be. That was the moment when I panicked. From now on... I'll back-up it everyday. Thank you a lot!

  • HT201210 In updating my iphone for the new software ios6. An error occurred and now is asking me to restore settings.  But I don't want to lose my data

    In updating my iphone 5 for the new software ios6. An error occurred and now is asking me to restore settings.  But I don't want torestore setting causing not all of my recent data has been synced and I don't want to  lose my data. How can I undo this since i did not hit restore settings, yet i can't do any other move without restoring at this point. Any ideas?

    You phone is in recovery mode.  Your data is already gone.
    Why you would attempt a software upgrade without backing up all your data first is beyond me, but to each his own.
    In any case, sorry for your data loss.

  • I recently updated my itunes to the latest version. Now when I try to view music on my ipod, it says I have to sync it? My ipod was already synced to this computer before and I don't want to lose anything on my ipod or in my itunes. What do I  do?

    My ipod has always been synched to this computer...and I don't want to lose anything.

    It doesn't say anything. It runs through the sync process like normal and tells me all of the songs that it's synking. But then when it says I can disconnect it, nothing actually synked.

    Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended. Firefox 3.6.18 would be the safer choice.
    Here's the process to roll back:
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    Close Firefox 5.
    You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
    Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.

    I want to sync my ipod touch with my new computer. But i don't want to lose any data from my apps. If i erase and sync does it only erase music and videos or does it include apps as well? I specifically don't want to lose any data from Instagram, I don't want to have to start over. Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks

  • TS2529 My phone is in recovery mode and I don't want to lose everything

    My phone is in recovery mode and I don't want to lost my data, etc.
    All I did was try to update the phone and I forgot to do a backup before hand.
    It's telling me before I can use itunes, I have to restore to factory settings.  I can't lose my stuff.
    Can someone help please?
    Right now it's showing an itunes icon and a usb on  my phone

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • I updated my iPhone software and now it is saying that I need to connect it to iTunes. I no longer have my computer with my iTunes on it. What can I do? I really don't want to lose my data! I wouldn't have updated if I had known but there was no warning.

    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.
    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.

  • How do I add the USA store. I am logged in to UK store for past purchases and I don't want to lose them.

    How do I add the USA store. I am logged in to UK store for past purchases and I don't want to lose them.

    It is semantics, but most of us from the Americas consider we are Americans by virtue of the continents of our birth, as are folks from the other continents residents of that continent*. The word for folks from the US in Spanish is estadounidense, United Statesonians. In my mind I am soon to be Statesonian.
    *Aside from the fact that there is but one country on the continent of Australia and that the majority of Antaricans are penguins!

    What is the best way to copy a DVD I made from iMovie?  It was HD720 and I don't want to lose any quality in the copies.  I need to distribute it to about 20 people. It's 42 minutes long.

    You will need to save it as a video to the camera roll.
    Import it into windows as you would a photo.
    Then purchase DVD authoring software, and create a DVD.

    There are a couple of tools you can use to backup your Firefox user data including extensions. The first is FEBE, which is an extension that allows you to backup your entire profile (location where user data is stored). The second is MozBackup, a free application for backing up Mozilla profiles.

    WE are travelling and it seems every time I want to listen to music it's on iCloud and not my device. I find a wifi connection and download the songs them bam next time they are back on iCloud!
    iTunes purchases are always on iCloud. They don't get uploaded there. They are simply there because you purchased them.
    When you first purchqse, iTunes (computer or phone) should download them. If they are not downloaded, you will see the cloud icon.
