Ipod 5th Gen. Corrupted. Help please.
Hi there everybody, im sorry if this has already been posted before, but this is my first post here.
I have a 5th generation ipod 30gb, it is saying corrupted once plugged in via itunes. When I do manage to start it, its showing no music at all I had around 1,500 songs on this ipod and did not back them up. I have tried rebooting, nothing seems to work. I hate to hear the only option I have left is to restore, so hopefully someone will be able to help me.
I was going to click the restore button after hours of research and getting nowhere, but I thought id try here as a last resort.
My photos are still on there, so hopefully I wont lose those as well as all of my music!
Problem started with low battery power I think, as a small battery sign popped up, which id never seen before. Eventually rebooting got the ipod to turn on, but my music has gone from the ipod. Is there a way I can access them in any ipod files or are they gone forever. I would like to know if I can copy my music onto my computer somehow. I cant access the ipod menu on itunes, just getting one screen saying restore. I dont think I had disc use enabled either, as I tired some of those steps earlier and got no where. Im using a mac so not as familiar as I was with windows.
Any help would be apriciated as the music on there was very important to me!
"although it's letting me put the songs back on it'll only let my sync my entire library, rather than picking and choosing which songs i want on (which is what i normally do).Also when my ipod is connected to th computer it won't let me play the songs off my ipod thru itunes like it normally does, in fact it won't even let me click on them."
Your ipod is set for automatic sync. With your ipod plugged in and itunes open, click on your ipod in the panel on the left. That should take you to the Summary screen (if not, click the Summary tab at the top). Check the box that says "Manually manage music and videos", and you should be able to edit and play songs directly from your ipod.

Hey Gilmour2013,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your iPod nano is not recognized in iTunes. To troubleshoot this, choose an applicable article below that best describes your issue and is based on your operating system.
Windows
iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes

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.
- 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: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I tried updating my iPod 5th gen to iOS 8 but it only shows me a picture of the iTunes logo and a charger at the bottom, I'm not sure what this means or what I need to do. Can someone please help me?
After restoring to factory settings/new iPod you will then have to restore from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

My mom put my ipod 5th gen in the house somewhere and it was turned off. It is connected to the internet in the house. How do i turn it on with the Findmyiphone or something else? It was an expensive gift and we can't find it now! Please help! How do i turn it on without finding it because she can't remember where it was.
That is so dumb...Apple is the best and most techinological company IN THE WORLD and they don't have the time to invent something like that? HUH? All they are worried about is making the "Worlds best Phone" and they can't take the time out to help their users or anybody that has their products. All they have is "Find mt Iphone" Well they should step up and do something else to help people like me out. Find a way to turn it on and you can find it or find a way to turn it on remotely.
Thank you for your replys -
HT3204 I can't download apps to my ipod 5th gen - ever since I updated to the ios7.4 :( Please help!
Hi ~
I recently upgraded to the ios 7.04 and ever since I am unable to download apps to my ipod (5th gen).
The new apps show up in my itunes library but they will not download onto my ipod.
I feel as though I have tried everything.
Please help with whatever tips you may have for me!
Thank you!I had to do a quick check, thanks! Here are a few I think should be working:
Temple Run
Sunday Lawn
Where's my Water
Dora Dress up
Dora ABC
Spy Mouse
Super Why
Spongebob Marbles
Some other apps say iOS 4+ but don't list the iPod Touch 2nd gen in the description, so I'm guessing they just don't work no matter the OS. However, the apps listed above say OS 3+ and just say ipod touch, so I think they should work. I'm running iTunes 10.3 but not the most recent release, and am updating as I type just in case that's the problem. Thanks for any help or advice! -

hi my ipod 5th gen is stuck in recovery mode ive tried everything and nothing is working
Only developers have access to the iOS 7 beta and then also have access to the developer forum. Thus, if you are a developer go the the developer's forum.
Otherwise you have a bootleg coy of iOS 7 and are on your own.

Ipod 5th Gen 60Gb keeps resetting and... (please read)
Hi everyone.
My ipod 5th gen 60Gb keeps resetting itself when plugged to the wall charger.
Once it starts again it gives me the sad face and the "Very Low Battery" screen.
Tried to reset it and i gets to the screen that tells me to connect to itunes for restore.
When i do that itunes won't see my ipod.
How can i fix it? How do i get to finally restore my ipod? Is that an hardware problem? I did replace the battery and it finally has power for hours but i still have this tooth to pull out.
Can anybody help me please with some suggestions/solutions?
Your help would be really appreciated! Thank you!I forgot to say: When i plug it it it gives me the apple for 5 - 6 seconds, the the SAD FACE with the link to the apple support page, then the "Very Low Battery" screen, then it restarts again and it does the same thing over and over again.
I can put it in disk mode, yes it will charge but if i attempt to plug in to the USB2 port (rear) of my computer with itunes open, it doesn't get recognized.
The hardware management of windows sees the ipod once i put it in disk mode. Then after 30 secs more or less it restarts and windows tells me the ipod device has problems.
Help PLEASE!! -
I have an Ipod 5th gen, I added a keyboard which was greek, I had changed my password to a greek short sentence. But the decided to take the greek keyboard off as I didn't use it often, so there was no point in having it. But I forgot to change my password, so I can't enter my Ipod. I've tried to enter the password in English and its not working! I don't really want to restart it all because I will loose everything! If anyone could help that would be great thank you.

I replaced the hard drive, motherboard, and battery but now can not restore my Ipod 5th gen? Error code 1416, any help?
When I did a Google search on "1416 error ipod 5th," there is some discussion that the earlier version of the logic board only accepted 30 and 60 GB drives (or words to that effect), but the later "5.5" version did allow larger capacity drives. If that info is true, the question is, do you have a compatible combination of logic board and hard drive?
