Ipod is corrupted and requires password i dont know?

Hey there,
I recently took the ipod we use at work and when i connected it to my mac, i had to restore it. I did this and ever since, it has said the ipod is corrupted. To fix this, I press restore and update, but then Itunes asks me for a password... which i don't know. Help me please!!!

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

  • When I bought my ipad i set it up using an itunes account name that my sons and I shared for music. Now I want to use my own appleid on the purchases for my ipad. I know my apple id and my password but dont know how to switch it on the ipad itself

    When I bought my ipad I used my family apple id that allowed us to share the itunes and pay with one card. (mine).  now my sone's apple id is connected to my ipad and I cannot change the password, nor purchase a book. I have reset my password and have my own apple id.  How do I link it on the ipiad with the itunes etc?  I am willing to "lose" the music I have purchased on my itunes account if that is what must happen. I believe that is why I did it in the first place but now I regret that choice.

    Settings>Store (or iTunes & App Stores if you are running iOS6)>Apple ID. Tap your son's ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID and password.
    You shouldn't lose the music, but if you try to update any apps that you bought with the family ID, you will have to use that password that is linked with that ID in order to update.
    Avoid downloading past purchased content with the old ID if you can since you will associate the iPad with the old ID for 90 days and you will lock yourself out of your own, new ID for that period of time. Read more about associated devices in iTunes here.

  • 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 ,,,,,,,,

  • Why is iTunes saying my iPod is corrupted and how do I fix it?

    I got a new computer for work, downloaded iTunes and connected my iPod classic (20GB). I added a few songs to my library before I connected the iPod. Once connected, my iPod appeared but after trying to transfer music an error occured. iTunes stated my iPod was corrupted and it asked if I wanted to reset it, which would wipe my iPod clean.
    I checked my Ipod's functionality and it was working fine. I tried connecting it to a couple other computers I use and it still worked fine. In the meantime, I uninstalled all of the iTunes programs and reinstalled everything. I connected the iPod again and the same problem occured.
    I do not think I transferred any corrupted songs onto my iPod; it has been working fine. I really do not want to erase my iPod and start from scratch unless that is the only solution. I am just not sure why my iPod is not working with this specific computer...it is brand new! When I connect the iPod now, it appears sometimes but it always ends the same. The computer also asks if I want to scan the E drive (the drive the iPod is connected to).
    Thoughts?

    +The computer also asks if I want to scan the E drive (the drive the iPod is connected to).+
    That it almost surely due to some security software/antivirus stuff that was installed by corporate.
    Ask your IT folks about getting itunes running on this PC and make sure it's allowed by your company.

  • ITunes says my iPod is corrupted and needs to be restored..

    Ok, when I started up my computer today and opened iTunes to listen to my songs, it gives me an error message that my iPod is corrupted and needs to be restored before I can use it again. I've tried using different programs to back up my songs on my iPod to my computer but it's not working because my computer is also saying that disk J: (the usb port my iPod uses) needs to be reformatted, so I can't do anything with it out of iTunes..
    What it's looking like is that I'm going to lose ALL the songs on my iPod (around $600 worth) and I'm not going to get anything back..
    So what do I do to fix this problem without losing all of the songs I've bought?

    Hello CoulntThinkOfAUser,
    If you purchased the songs from the itunes store you wouldn't really loose anything. This is how to recover all of your previous purchases.
    How to download past purchases.
    Hope this helps.

    Hey Bilbo,
    Thank you for sending me help. However I hope I can still use my iPod for a while if it is the case.
    I saw yesterday one of the forums and it helped me fixing my iPod problem. The forum is titled "Corrupted iPod" and Jeff Brian posted this link that in my case it worked. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304309

  • When connecting to iTunes advised that the IPOD is corrupted and needs to be restored to factory settings.  I executed this procedure, but after reconnecting it again identifies that it is corrupted and needs to be restored.  Repeating did not resolve.

    When connecting to iTunes, the system responds that the Ipod id corrupted and needs to have the factory settings restored.  Factory settings are successfully installed, but response still identifies that the Ipod is corruped.  Several repeats stil give the same result.  Any other suggestions ?

  • I have just updated to itunes 11 and when I plugged in my ipod classic it locked up. When I tried again it said my ipod was corrupt and advised I reset it. I reluctantly did this as I lost all my music and now itunes just locks up when I plug in my ipod.

    Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.

  • How can i get rid of a password i dont know?

    i have a password i dont know so do i have to restore it?

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    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 iPod backup that iTunes makes.
