I HAVE A CORRUPT iPOD WHAT NOW?

after i did some water (accually gatorade) damage to my iPod my computer will not restore it because it is corrupt. what does this mean and how can i fix it? do i need to flush my ipod with water then let it dry all over again?? please help!

My iPod is corrupt, too (but for an unrelated reason). However, I'd say let it dry then try again, but I'm not too sure on whether that would help. Here's a little something, though: never use anything with water near electronic devices.

    Have you not got the music on your computer and/or on backups on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs ?

  • I have formatted my IPOD shuffle,now im unable to listen to songs

    Hi,
    i have mistakenly formatted IPOD and now im unable to listen songs even if i have re-installed ITUNES on my windows PC.
    please help me guys.

    By formatted do you mean a low level filesystem reformat of the Shuffle's flash storage using the reformat option available in Windows (and NOT iTunes)?
    Does the iPod still appear in iTunes when you connect it? If so, are you sure have content synced to it?

  • HT4623 My ipod does not have a "software update". I have reset the ipod and now can't download anything to it.

    I have reset my ipod and cleared all the info on it. Now I am unable to download any apps. It says I need to update the software but I don't seem to have that capability. What do I do?

    Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • I am trying to update Mac software. but each time I download Compressor, I get a message that the update cannot be saved because it may have been corrupted. What should I do?

    When I download software updates, I continually get the message "The update “Compressor 1.2.1” can’t be saved.The update could not be expanded and verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs."  What do I need to do? This seems to be blocking other software updates.

    By twice, I mean is there at least two copies of the same Time Machine data?  Backing up several times a day with Time Machine does not yield two distinct separate restorable sources.  Only one is made.

  • Corrupt Ipod, What is it exactly?

    I plugged in my ipod wanting to see if the auto open feature actually worked. The feature worked but itunes called my ipod corrupt. This is a first. I was given 2 options restore or reconnect. Neither option has worked. A 1488 error showed up saying the 'corrupt ipod' could not be restored. Also the Do Not Disconnect screen will not go away. Does anyone have any info on corrupt ipods?

    I just went thru a similar thing where my iPod was corrupt and would not allow anything to import into it. Unfortunately, I had to restore the whole **** thing.

  • Broken charger kills iPod, what now?

    Yesterday I dropped my charger, but there was no visual damage. The charger was not from apple, but it did work fine. Before. When I plugged in my iPod, it instantly died. Nothing works, nor pressing buttons nor connecting to the computer. There is no visual damage, but it did get very hot the following 15 minutes after it happened. Well I know it is completely my own fault and stuff but I just have this one question: will replacing the battery fix this problem or is this un-repairable? If nothing will help, is there any way I can get a virtual iPod touch 3rd gen on my pc and put the back-up on it so I can get my contacts and stuff back? Thanks.

    - You can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and hear what they have to say.
    - You should be able to get your contacts and calendar. Just log into iCloud.com.
    - You can get some data from the iPod backup in you synced/backed up to iTunes (vice iCloud) by:
    iPhone Backup Extractor for Windows and Mac
    - You can also purchase or borrow another iOS device and restore that device from your iPod backup. If you restore via iTunes, the iTunes library has to have all the apps in it so the app data has a place to go. The iOS device you use has to have iOS 5.1.1 (or later).

  • Continual "you seem to have a corrupted iPod" messages - but iPod is fine

    Since upgrading to itunes 7.0.2 whenever I try and re-sync i continually get the above message - the ipod is fine - it plays just as before - but for last 2 weeks been unable to get new music onto it - any ideas?

    I had the same problem and managed to fix it. If you recieve and error saying that your iPod can't be read or written to try this:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301267
    From what I've read in other threads it can also be caused by corrupted songs.
    Good luck!

  • So i have a lost IPHONE, what now?

    Hi guys, i know what you all are thinking right now but this is not the case. This is my question:
    Last year I found an IPHONE 5 in the street, by that time my own phone was giving me troubles and not working fine (ty sony), i had no chance of buying a new IPHONE 5 (I already owned a previous 3GS and i loved it). I saw the phone there and at first I was like "jackpot" but then i remembered how much it costed me to buy my previous 3GS so I did the right thing, i took it and gave it back to the police department in the same day.
    To my surprise they called me yesterday and said that i was free to collect the iphone 5 because a year passed and no one reclaimed it and by law if i wanted so the iphone now LEGALLY belonged to me (i'm portuguese, in portugal if you find something and give it back to police after 1 year if no one reclaims it is yours).
    Of course i said yes and i went to collect it, i connected the phone to itunes but it seems it is icloud locked.
    What can i do to revert this? btw i can not stress enough this point, i did what was right, found an iphone 5 delivered it to the police and after one year the police gave it back to me i have the papers of the police department stating it.
    Thanks in advance,
    Pedro.

    The iPhone is locked to the original owner's Apple id

    Without the co-operation of thae original owner ( unlikely in the circumstances ) you do not have an iPhone 5 you have an iBrick

  • My Firefox crashed and I cannot get it to come back up. I have a MAC. What now?

    My Firefox crashed. I had been cleaning out some downloads and I don't know if that had anything to do with it but now I cannot get it to come back up. Help.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
