HELP my Ipod keeps on saying it's corrupt and wont restore

My Ipod won't restore by pressing both the middle button and the menu button. It say's it's corrupt. I think it might of died because i've had it for one year and a couple of months. If it has, what can I do with it?

"My Ipod won't restore by pressing both the middle button and the menu button"
That's not how you restore an iPod, that's the procedure for resetting. Have a look at this page for instructions on restoring: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • Ipod 4g is stuck in recovery mode and wont restore

    Got a brand new Ipod 4g, worked fine until ran out of battery first time, it is in recovery mode it says when I connect to itunes store, then says to restore it, I click ok and the ipod then turns on but just shows and apple and a bar but nothing happens, itunes says waiting for ipod.

    - Reboot the computer
    - Try another USB port and cable
    - 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.
    - Try DFU mode and then restore

  • Help! Ipod touch 5g stuck in recovery loop and cant restore

    Hi. I have an ipod touch only a few weeks old. All was fine, but last week I started to experience dramatic reductions in battery life (flat in 12hrs, even if properly powered off).
    I now have the "connect to itunes" logo on the screen and the ipod is not working.
    Connecting to itunes, it requires a restore, but I am stuck in a loop of downloading, not recognising and then starting again.
    I can see the file (all 900mb of it):
    C:\Users\J\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates\iPod5,1_6.0.1_10A523_Restore.ipsw
    But it just keeps re-downloading everytime I click restore - even though the file is already there. During the download, I think the ipod/itunes connection disconnects and then reconnects as you get a new "ipod in recovery mode warning".
    Considering this file is nearly a gb I am reluctant to try any more. Is there a way I can force it? The ipod is otherwise not working at all now.
    I have turned off my firewall per the advice elsewhere on here.
    Cheers
    James

    Wow. I solved this.
    To force the restore after downloading, but without the downloading again:
    - Disconnect and then reconnect the ipod (important in my case)
    - Hold the shift key and then click "Restore" SUPER SECRET or what!
      - Navigate to the file as per the above.
    Hope the restore happens before the next disconnect (did in my case)!
    Sorted.
    Now I hope my battery lasts better than before - was going flat overnight, even if turned off properly.....

  • Itunes keep saying shuffle is corrupted and has restored it multiple times. i can't get itunes to stop restoring my shuffle

    has anyone else had this problem? i cant get to any other screen in itunes other than "restore this ipod shuffle" in itunes.

    You can only sync to one computer.
    You would have to transfer purchases, but the apple ID would need to be the same.
    Or find a 3rd party app to transfer content.

  • TS1717 Updated my itunes and now when i try to open it it says itunes is corrupted and won't start. Help!

    Upgraded my iphone 4 to an iphone 5. When I opened itunes it asked me to update to the latest version. I tried to sync my previous phone but it said error transferring, syncing wont start. I upgraded my itunes and restarted my computer. Now when I try to open my itunes I just get a message saying its corrupted and wont open. Help!

    Hi there,
    You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes in order to get it working again. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • Can't install Firefox, keeps on saying download is corrupted.

    I recently uninstalled my Firefox as i can't seem to update it to the latest version. So after uninstalling, i couldn't reinstall it as it keeps on saying file is corrupted. I am at my wits end. So any idea how to solve this? I've already done a clean uninstall.

    You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
    *Firefox 16.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files.<br />
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
    See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

  • I need help my ipod is unresponsive with a black screen and non working buttons

    Help

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • My ipod keeps showing the apple logo on and off after i updated it?

    my ipod keeps showing the apple logo on and off after i updated it?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Drag the Safari icon straight up and off the Dock so it goes, "poof" ...
    Now click and hold the Safari app in the Applications folder and drag that to the Dock.
    See if you can open a webpage in Safari.
