how do you fix a corrupt ipod nano 4th gen?

Hi bigmike94610,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
For iPod nano troubleshooting I would suggest the troubleshooting outlined in the following web link. I would suggest working through the steps in the order presented on the website, but you may ultimately need to restore your iPod.

How do you fix a jailbroken ipod touch gen 2?

How do you fix a jalibroken ipod touch gen 2? My son's itouch has the apple skull on the mai screen and won't do anything. Thanks-

ALl we can say her in this Apple forum s to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPOd. Yu can try placing the iPod in recovery mode. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Otherwise you will have to go to elsewhere. Jailbreaking voids the warranty and Apple will no longer help.

You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library it is normally synced with and restore it. If iTunes asks you for the unknown passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

How do you fix a disabled ipod touch?

How do you Undisable a ipod touch?

Just to elaborate on roaminggnome's answer, heres exactly what you should do:
Connect your iPod to the computer that you used last to sync it.
When the iPod appears in the iTunes sidebar, click it.
Then click the "Restore" button.
When prompted, choose "Restore From Last Sync".
The iPod should take a while to restore.
When you turn your iPod on, it should not be diabled anymore.
*Note: If this does not work, revisit Step 4. Then, instead of choosing "Restore From Last Sync", choose "Set Up As New iPod". BUT CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED: THIS WILL DELETE ALL OF YOUR DATA INCLUDING MUSIC, VIDEOS, APPS, AND MORE!

How do you restore a locked ipod touch

My daughter locked her ipod touch with a password before we ever created an id on it. I went to the apple store and was told to just hook up the ipod and click the restore button. when i connect the ipod to my computer, itunes does not reconize it since it is locked and i can't click the restore button. can anybody help? i can't find anything on the apple website that helps.

Here's the process you need to follow:
Plug the iPod into your computer.
Open iTunes if ot doesn't automatically open.
Press and hold down both the Home and the Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time.
Count to eight (8) seconds.
When you reach 8 seconds, the screen will go black. At that instant, let go of the Sleep/Wake button while still holding down the Home button.
Keep hilding the Home button down until a window pops up on the screen that says something like "An iPod in recovery mode has been detected. You must restore the iPod."
Click OK, and click the Restore button in the iPod Summary window.
If this doesnt work the first time, try it again. It may take several attempts to get the iPod into recovery mode.

- 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.

How do I reset my ipod - my son created a password and its locked but he can't remember what he put

You have to restore via recovery mode by following the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 and may need to do that more than once to succeed. If you have a backup of the content, restore that after you have regained access to the iPod.

How do you fix the indexing ipod issue in chevy equinox

After working properly for over a year, now when I connect my iPod Classic via USB to my Chevy Equinox it starts "Indexing iPod". If play is interrupted by changing to the radio, answering a phone call, turning off the engine, etc., it will sometimes lock up the iPod and sometimes no longer recognize it. In either case, I have to unplug the iPod and either do a hard restart or find my place on the iPod again. I listen to audiobooks on my daily commute and it is getting very frustrating.
Tried using my husband's iPod yesterday and it seems to work just fine.
Help!

Look in your device manager and find out what brand of hard drive you have (Western Digital, Seagate, Toshiba etc.) Go to the manufacturer's website and download their hard drive certification test (free). Run the test on your drive so you can feel that it is not the hard drive. Then run the HP memory test from your utility partition (I think you hit F10 while starting the machine). There is always a chance that your connector to your hard drive is bad or the contacts are dirty but that is an outside shot.

How do you fix Sad face Ipod with exclamation mark

So i've been having a few problems here with my ipod hopeing that someone out there could help me out. So now my Ipod wont charge, it wont hook up to my computer and whenver i hook it up to the charger or the computer the sad face ipod comes on with the address www.apple.com/support/ipod anyways i also get this sign on the screen which is the charging sign but the bar isnt moving, its like its in the charge mode but nothings charging.. then after about 5 minutes it goes back to the apple logo and then tries to restart itself. When its turning on it also makes this clicking sound its like the hard disk is turning on and then turning off... SO basically i cannot get my ipod to turn on ... i cannot get it to charge, and i cannot get it to come up on my computer.. any suggestions?

Last week, I managed to fix up my daughter's iPod with the same problem. However, you need to have a PC to help you. First, put your iPod into Disk Mode (you may need to plug it with the AC Charger), press "Select"+"play" keys, then plug it with a PC, a window pop up and indicates that your iPod cant be read. Open the iPod Updater (make sure you pre-install the latest iPod updater before you connect your iPod with the PC) and click Restore. Once it has been completed, plug it back with your Mac, and do the Restore in Mac version
