Ipod classic corrupted help

So i've had my iPod classic for a couple of years now with very few problems, but I plugged it in to my Imac today when a pop-up tells me that my ipod has been corrupted. i tried disconnecting  it a few times but found that after pressing the eject button the ipod will still say connected until i actually take the cable out. I also tried to restore the ipod but that didn't help at all and now i have no music.
I have looked a bit online and found how to get to the stats but i have no understanding of them whatsoever so i'll post them here:
Retracts: 12
Reallocks: 0
Poweron hours: 609
Start/Stops: 9193
Temp: Current 31c
Temp: Min 4c
Temp: Max 54c
All answers appreciated, Thanks.

The max temp. is a little high. Not supposed to go above 50. Other than that there are no apparent problems. Try working through the suggestions for restoring in Corrupt iPod classic.

  • IPod classic corrupted and won't restore on Windows

    So I have an 80Gb iPod classic. While I was transferring some files something went wrong with the USB connection and iTunes immediately froze and so did my iPod. So I reconnected my iPod and now it won't let me transfer any files because it keeps getting stuck. Then I tried to restore and got an error that I was unable to restore. I disconnected my iPod and it seems like it restored because the next thing I knew everything has been wiped out. But when I connected it to my PC a message appears that the iPod is corrupted and a windows prompt appears telling me to format the disk. So here's what I've done.
    -formatted the iPod in FAT32
    -connected the iPod, no 'iPod corrupted' message appears.
    -tried to restore, but received the same error message, won't restore
    -when iPod disconnected it went through the same cycle (iPod restoring-then iPod corrupted-iPod needs to be formatted)
    -went to Apple service center, they restored it using a mac and everything went smoothly, song were able to be transferred without a glitch.
    -however will not work on PC needs to be restored again
    can someone help to shed some light? is there something wrong with the hard disk? If yes, then why can it be restored through mac but not windows?
    what can i do to solve this problem?
    thanx

    I was sort of relieved to read that I am not the only one with freezing issues.
    I have been to the apple store twice only to be told there is nothing wrong and of course my warranty has expired !! I have the Model A1136 EMC No. 2065 80gig classic ipod. My dell computer is only 2 weeks old and works fantastic, however, when I open itunes and my ipod and it freezes, so does my pc and I have to do a task manager to get out of itunes and there are times when I can't and have to reboot my pc.
    Well it has been two weeks now of me trying all that I can to fix the issue and only thing I can see so far that it freezes up when its in the analyzing the gapless sound upon adding music from my folders, etc etc. So I tried to "uncheck" everything that had to do with the sound and it worked. Oh and by the way, try setting your ipod on disk mode when you are trying to restore the ipod. It works better that way. Don't know what is going on but I am so angry with myself for being so attached to this ipod There is nothing out there that compares to my ipod and it's amazing the prices of mp3 that even come close to 80 gigs.
    Good luck to all and if I find anything else to share, I certainly will Don't hesitate to email me if someone finds out or has a patch or something to get this thing going properly again bye for now ,,,,,,,,

  • Ipod classic corrupted and cannot save music..

    Suddenly I found out that my iPod Classic 5th Gen reset by itself and lost all music in it.  I thought the hard drive was corrupted and tried to restore the iPod with iTunes.  After that I mannually copied music back into iPod using iTunes.  But soon I rejected the iPod off the computer (Windows 7), it reseted back to zero with no music on it.
    I don't know what's going on.  Do any you share me some tips how to fix this thing?  It is really frustrated and hope that you can help me.
    Appreciated,

  • 2014 Sync problems on iPod classic / Please help!! 2014

    Hello community!
    I really need some help with this problem I am having... I have done some research for the past few days on my own but nothing I have found has helped.
    First some specs on my device...
    iPod Classic: 80 GB (I believe this is iPod with video, assumed on the fact that it supports movie syncs)
    iPod software version: 1.1.2 (up to date according to iTunes)
    Formatted for Windows
    Syncing to Dell Inspiron with Windows 7
    iTunes updated to current version (11.4)
    I had much mof my music library uploaded onto my iPod for quite sometime. (close to 14,000 songs synced at 192 kbps) I often like to put my iPod on shuffle and just listen to whatever comes on, but here and there I will skip songs until something I am in the mood for comes on... I began to notice that my iPod was freezing (ON THE DISPLAY ONLY!!! Playback through speakers continued) when I would skip through songs... Once the screen dimmed however, I could once again skip to the next song. I figured this was a problem concerning corrupted files or something similar. These are the steps I took..
    1.) Updated iTunes to version 11.4 and checked for further updates
    2.) ATTEMPTED to check disk within Windows (was unsuccessful and heard the iPod making a lot of 'clicking' noises from within the casing)
    3.) Performed an iPod restore within iTunes
    4.) Performed a check disk within Windows and recovered any bad sectors (SUCCESSFUL)
    5.) Selected 'Music' sync and the option for 'Entire music library'
    6.) UNCHECKED 'Include music videos'
    7.) Reconfigured settings as they were before and made slight changes..
         a.) Checked 'Open iTunes when this iPod is connected'
         b.) Checked 'Sync only checked songs and videos'
         c.) Checked 'Convert higher bit rate songs to '192 kbps' AAC'
         d.) Unchecked 'Manually manage music and videos'
         e.) Unchecked 'Enable disk use'
    8.) Began a sync on my iPod... With well over 10,000 songs I knew this was going to be a lengthy process.. I left computer unattended..
    When I returned to my computer, iTunes was unresponsive... The only way I could get iTunes to show was to minimize a Window on top of iTunes. iTunes states 'Syncing iPod... Do not disconnect' but does not show a rolling progress bar.. I cannot cancel sync, I cannot eject iPod, I cannot close iTunes...
    I attempt to eject iPod device through windows, UNSUCCESSFUL (Cannot unmount generic volume while the device is in use)
    I 'Ctrl+Alt+Dlt' to Task Manager and End Program 'iTunes' UNSUCCESSFUL..
    I End Process 'iTunes.exe *32' and eject iPod through Windows SUCCESSFUL
    When the iPod displayed 'OK to disconnect with load bar, I disconnected the device.
    As soon as this bar was full iPod IMMEDIATELY rebooted completely and powered back up with only 20 songs synced. (Frustration ensues)
    Confused and thinking maybe my screen saver caused an interruption during the sync, I changed screen saver and power saving options to eliminate any possible interruption, REPEATED STEPS 3-8 ABOVE, and started sync again.. Left computer unattended
    Again, coming back to computer much later, iTunes was in the same unresponsive state. Closed iTunes and began looking for answers on the internet. Any and all answers I found stated I should restore iPod, update iTunes, run diagnostics tests, etc., etc...
    All of which I had done EXCEPT for running a diagnostics test..
    Running a diagnostics test: I ran only the tests concerned with 'Device Connectivity' and 'Device sync' tests.. Here are the very interesting results I yielded from these tests...
    Device Connectivity Test:
    Support services:
         'iPod support service is running.' Status: GREEN
         'iTunes Helper is running.' Status: GREEN
         'Apple Mobile Device is running.' Status: GREEN
    Ports:
         'USB ports verified.' Status: GREEN
         'No FireWire (IEEE 1394) ports found.' Status: GREEN
         'iPod found.' Status GREEN
    ALL TESTS PASSED
    Device Sync Tests
    Results:
         No iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad found. Status: RED
    ONE OR MORE TESTS FAILED
    I am at a loss, I realize that Apple has discontinued the iPod Classic but does that mean iTunes will no longer support these devices!?
    And if ANYONE has ANY suggestions for possible steps I can take to regain syncing privileges to my iPod once again, please let me know!
    Also, I have diagnostics test results saved on my desktop and available to post if required!
    Thank you for any and all help!
    -Chris

    !UPDATE!
    I made several adjustments to my sync options and made some progress and am now trying to sync in 'stages' as I like to think of them.
    Here is what I did:
    1.) Under 'Music' tab in 'My iPod' options I opted to sync 'Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres'
    2.) Selected a small portion of tunes I know I want on my iPod (ended up being close to 3,500 songs.
    3.) Under 'Summary' tab I unchecked the 'Sync only checked songs and videos' box
    4.) Unchecked 'Convert higher bit rate songs to ___ AAC'
    5.) Checked 'Enable disk use'
    6.) Ran a SUCCESSFUL sync!
    I am now running a sync keeping the same adjustments in place and have added 6,556 songs. (SYNC IN PROGRESS)
    I am wondering if trying to convert that many songs to a lower bit rate is causing sync problems and it appears as if I am at least making progress on this. HOWEVER, I really prefer to decrease the bit rate on my songs so I may fit more on my iPod... Usually most of the files I have in iTunes are at 320 kbps with a select few at 192 kbps. I would like to make everything the way it was before my first iPod restore.. 192 kbps, but this also seems to be the cause of the sync problems I am having? Anyone else have a comment on this?
    Thanks again
    -Chris

  • Ipod classic corruption

    My Ipod classic 80G started to corrupt songs and cover art on a regular basis.
    It "skips" songs like a old scratched cd, many do not even play, and many cover art are replaced with "noise".
    So i restored it and while synching stuff back again, it just get stuck after few minutes of synching.
    I tried to format it several times, i tried to zero it (with disk utility) and i checked the disk activity on activity monitor.
    The "Zeroing" actually stops in few minutes instead of the projected hour and a half, whitout giving errors.
    I tried to do zero it with different filesystems, all with the same results.
    I did the full system check on-board of the ipod (by pressing left+central button after a reset) and everything is ok.
    I do not know what to do to fix this situation!
    No errors are given, the ipod get recognized and it actually finishes to sync, it just stops and eventually resume and stop again.
    I tried different cables, all my macbook pro usb ports and also a usb hub.
    Please help!

    Hi, thanks for the help!

  • IPod Classic corrupt

    Hi, certain songs were not playing right on my 2009 iPod Classic, so I tried to do a restore on the iPod today, and re-sync all my music in iTunes to it. In the process of syncing all my music, the sync stalled, and now the device is not recognized in iTunes and it keeps saying "connected" even though iTunes doesn't see it. The latest error message I got was this:
    Red Exclamation Point: Mac OS X can't repair the disk "iPod." You can still open or copy files on the disk, but changes can't be saved. Reformat the disk as soon as possible.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Maureen

  • IPod classic corrupted

    I have an iPod classic 160GB. And it'c corrupted. I've tried all possible methods to fix it, but none of them worked.
    1. On switching on the iPod, it says "Use itunes to restore" and when i connect it to itunes, it says that the ipod is corrupted and needs to be restored. When I proceed with restoring, it ALWAYS gives me an error 1439. Ive tried it on all USB ports of my laptop and different laptops, too.
    2. When I put it in disk mode and try to format it manually, It gives me an error "Please insert a disk in drive G:\", and it doesnt even open the directory.
    The result of the diagnostics test are:
    Retracts: 16
    Reallocs: 11
    Pending Sectors: 4
    PowerOn Hours: 322
    Start/Stops: 4234
    Temp Current: 27c
    Temp: Min 8c
    Temp: Max 48c
    Is the hard drive corrupted? Can anyone suggest any third party applications which can fix a corrupted ipod?

    If it won't restore, you probably need to get a replacement. However, if you have DiskWarrior, you may find it able to repair the drive and allow the restore to take place. Worth a go if you have it.

  • Having problems adding contacts to my ipod classic, itunes help says to click on the "info" button.  But there doesn't seem to be an "info" button in my itunes under my ipod

    I am wanting to add contacts to my ipod classic 160gb, the intunes help says to click on the "info" button on my device, but there doesn't seem to be an "info" button there.  I have tried restoring my ipod as well, twice now.  But doesn't work.  Any ideas?

    'Info' is along the top of the iTunes window when you have the iPod attached and selected.
    When info is selected you will find the option you want.
    Best.

  • Ipod Classic 30GB Help

    my ipod classic 30 gb wont autofill all of my songs. i got 2200 songs and it took about 1300 and theres mad space left. i get an error message when i try to add  certain songs. 

    Weird noises are bad from the iPod, unless you are playing Weird Al Jankovic albums, but most likely, it is a dying Hardisk, which cant access the boot sector.
    Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic, as posted earlier by tt2, it wont solve your problem, but help in troubleshooting.

  • After itunes 9.2 install,160 gb ipod classic corrupted

    I installed iTunes 9.2 a couple of weeks ago, and when I went to plug in my iPod to my laptop it says "Your iPod needs to be reformatted for use with Windows. Would you like to run iTunes to restore your iPod now?" Whether I click yes or just x off the pop up and open iTunes, I get another pop up that says "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted..." iTunes shows that an iPod is hooked up to it but I cant acces anything on it in iTunes or add any songs or anything. The iPod itself still works fine, plays all the songs etc. I know alot of people are having problems with their iPod classics and iTunes, but most of their iTunes seems to recognize their iPod and just freezes. I dont wanna wipe my iPod and start again because I've been reading people who've wiped theirs are running into problems when they try to put their music back on it. I've got like 23,000 songs on it and dont wanna wipe it and spend the hours manually putting my music on it from my external hard drives and still not have it work. Any suggestions?

    Really the only thing that would very most likely work is to manually restore it. if iTunes isnt even restoring it after you click "yes" though, try reinstalling iTunes for any luck. if you can get your hands on 9.1 or some version of 8, all the better. but yes you may have to resync the entire library....a second thought would be to reset the ipod too

  • Ipod classic reboots HELP!!!

    ipod classic keeps rebooting after putting a game or diconneting from computer

    What version of iTunes are you using on your PC?

  • MY IPOD CLASSIC NEEDS HELP!

    Hi,
    My ipod classic 160GB has a problem. A serious one. It was fine until I tried plugging it into the laptop via usb. Windows suggested I reformat it, but i cancelled that. Upon ejecting my ipod to try reconnecting it to the laptop again, the ipod launched into a reset screen infinite loop where it keeps resetting over and over again. Now I tried reformatting it by entering disk mode and then connecting it into the computer. However, windows was unable to reformat the ipod as it could not access the disk drive. When I open 'computer' on my laptop, the ipod is detected as a removable disk. However when i attempt to open it, windows tells me "Please insert disk into removable disk." I have no idea how to solve this problem. Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Identify where it might be shorting out on the case and put a layer of insulation there.
    (Assuming I've understood what you meant by open.)

  • ITunes (and other programs) unable to recognize the contents of my iPod classic. Help/advice?

    Recently the hard drive of my macbook failed, causing me to lose all of the contents on it - including my music. It wasn't of too major concern for me considering I have my iPod and have ripped music from it to iTunes before. Alas when I attempted to do so today neither iTunes nor any other iPod transfer program (senuti, phone to mac, irip) can recognize it. The music is still on there and I can still listen to it, I just am unable to access it on my computer apparently. Is there any manual way to move the files? iTunes continues to suggest I restore my iPod, but I really don't want to lose the almost 3000 songs I have collected over the last 5 years. Any suggestions/advice would be much appreciated!

    Nevermind! I rebooted my iPod and my computer recognized it! Whew!
