I've tried restoring and it still won't sync

I recently bought a used iPod nano. I've restored it to factory settings several times but I'm still having trouble with it. Sometimes it will sync to Itunes but only get 3 songs and then will give me an error message that says the file is corrupted. The last time I restored and tried to sync it I got a message that said it couldn't sync the iPod because it could find the file. HELP!!!!!

- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Have you tried resetting your device: Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the "Slide to Unlock" screen redisplays, see if your issue is resolved.

Last night my Ipod stopped charging and I have no idea how to get it to charge. I've tried everything and it still won't work. Help?

I got out of my bed last night and accidently got shocked by my Ipod and now it won't charge. I tried using a different charger and my Ipod dock but it wouldn't show that it was charging. I turned it off last night and left it on my dock and turned it on this morning and it had a low battery then all off a sudden it was fully charged. Can anyone please help me because I don't want to have to get a new Ipod just because of that?

After years of use, my ipod classic will not sync with itunes on any computer. I have wiped the ipod clean and it still won't sync. what to do?

I had about 80 songs on my ipod and it worked fine until one day i purchased some new music from itunes and discovered that it wouldn't sync. I tried various things and finally wiped the ipod clean thinking it would sync then. It doesn't and now I have no music on it. When I check for devices, the sync option is grayed out on itunes. I even tried it from another computer but it won't sync with that either.

See Corrupt iPod classic. What are the stats?

Since the iOS7 update on my iPad 2, I am having trouble charging it if it runs all the way down, and now, my Safari won't work at all, and it locks up when I click on Safari in the Setting section. I have tried restoring, and Safari still does not work??

I cannot reset the Ipad either, Safari won't work, and it won't charge properly if the battery runs all the way down...

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks

Ipod won't sync, it says it's corrupted and when I restore it it still won't sync

Alright well I have an 80 gb ipod classic. I tried to restore it because it wasn't working right. Songs would skip over, or it would play songs that it wasn't displaying on the screen.
Anyways, after restoring I attempted to sync it again with my library. A few different things happen though. It will either say nothing, and when I disconnect it it says there's nothing on the ipod. Or it will say that the ipod is corrupted. Or it will say something about needing to restore the ipod because the recovery process didn't work. And the whole process just keeps looping and looping over and over. I've been dealing with this for a few days now and I have no idea what to do. Any help? Thanks in advance!

Hello girlinflames,

HT5654 I tried to install the new update to iTunes on my Windows XP computer and I keep getting an error that say iTunes was not installed properly. Please reinstall iTunes. I tried that and it still won't work. Got any ideas what is wrong?

I tried to run the new update to iTunes and I got the error....iTunes was not installed properly. Please reinstall iTunes. I have tried that twice with no success. Anyone have any ideas what the problem is?

My iPhone 4 wont sync to my iTunes after updating to the iOS 7. It says my phone needs to update to iTunes 11.1. My phone has already updated itself and it still won't sync. It's frustrating because i had to delete all of my music to get iOS 7.

My phone already has iTunes 11.1 and my mac is saying it needs to update to it.

Its not your phone that needs updating - its iTunes on your PC that needs to be 11.1

I just updated my iTunes to 11.1.3 and now it won't sync music to my iPhone 4... Help please!!

I have switch the setting on my iPhone to manually manage music and back and it still won't sync the new music

cutwright 93,
I have a 4s, and I've had that problem, too. I've tried every method mentioned on the boards. If Ellips's suggestion didn't work, try this, and please let me know if it worked:
(I did the following while the phone was connected to my pc...if that makes a difference.)
1. On the phone, go to Music.
2. Click "More."
3. Click "Shared."
4. My phone lists "iPhone" and my iTunes Libary. Try clicking the name of your music library.
5. Wait until the circle makes its loop.
The synch still failed to complete, but all of my music was on my iPhone, again. Whew.

My game center won't load and shows up blank when I try to open it. I've already tried to close all the apps and restart it and it still won't work. Is their anyway to fix it without restoring it??

My game center won't load and shows up blank when I try to open it. I've already closed all of my apps and restarted it and it still won't work. Is their anyway to fix it without restoring it and starting over??

Try:
- 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.
- sign out and the sign back into Game Center
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I tried to restore my iPod Touch 2nd generation and now it won't sync to itunes. on the screen it shows the usb end of the cord and the iTunes logo over it. Is it broken?

I tried to restore my ipod touch 2nd generation and now it won't sync to itunes. On the screen is the USB end of the cord and the iTunes logo over it.
I have turned it off and on, held the off button down and the select button down but it still comes up with that picture on the screen. Have I broken it?
Please help.

It means the device is in recovery mode. You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
You may need to connect it in recovery mode manually using the instructions in this Apple support document.

HT1320 I tried all the steps to reset my nano 6th generation and it still won't turn on. What do I do then?

I tried all the steps to reset my nano 6th generation and it still won't turn on. I've had this since February and just started having problems about a week ago after I charged it. Now I can sometimes get it to turn on but mostly it just stays off, I can't even reset it with it plugged in. I have noticed that it get really warm to the touch when it's plugged in and if I let it cool down I might have some luck but soon I have the same problems.

HT201303 The Itunes store constantly asks me to Improve Apple ID Security by adding three secret questions but won't accept my valid password. I have tried to reset the password, update the billing info and it still won't let me make any purchases.

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

I was trying to sync my itouch with my new mac, and some songs won't download because they are not authorized for this computer. But even after my computer was authorized they still won't sync. How do I fix this?

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.
