Ipod Seems to be corrupt
I have restored my ipod numerous times, recharged it in an outlet, restarted my computer, updated my itunes to 7.0.2 twice, and restarted my ipod, and the computer says my ipod seems to be corrupted and I don't know what to do because ive tried everything.
Any Help?????????
thanks
If you can see your iPod in Windows, reformat it (FAT32, don't use a quick format) and then Restore it using iTunes.

All music tracks on my iPod seem to be corrupt after adding podcasts
Ok, I'm desperate here, but I'm pretty sure I know there is nothing I can do. My situation:
I bought a 80GB 5G iPod right when they first came out (six weeks ago?) in preparation for a 6-8 month long trip I am currently on. I loaded my whole music collection onto the iPod (about 50GB worth of music) and all was glorious. Everything worked great. Just before I left to travel across the country, I added a bunch of podcasts as well. All was still glorious. I should add I used WinXP to add the previously mentioned music/podcasts, and that I used iTunes v7.0.1 and had the iPod v1.2 software.
I then departed for my trip across the country and the iPod performed marvellously. I was thrilled with my toy. Four weeks later, I am staying with some friends in California, and I thought it would be a great chance to update my podcasts and maybe add some new ones. So I added a bunch with my friends computer, which is a Mac Powerbook (and iTunes v7.0.1).
Again, everything was working great... all the music and the podcasts. I am now getting ready to leave their house and continue travelling, so I added some more podcasts to my iPod.
So... I went to play some music today, none of my music would play, all the files seem to be corrupt. All my podcast (video and regular) are all functional. I am really devastated since I have no way to get my music library back onto the iPod if I do a restore, since my computer is thousands of miles away in a storage unit.
Any idea what happened? How I can prevent it from happening again? Any remote chance I can salvage anything?
thanks in advance!
Christophercheck and see if the files causing this issue are mono audio format (vs. stereo).. if so, convert them to stereo until apple comes out with a fix... (u.u) they should play once you convert them..

Itunes continues to say ipod appears to be corrupted.
One day i just connected my my ipod to my computer and itunes says that your ipod appears to be corrupted. So I clicked restore and the ipod restored and then appeared on itunes with the same message. Telling me to restore. I literally did this like 10-15 times and it continued to say the same thing. The ipod works once you take it off the computer. The menu is fully functional and nothing is altered but since there is no music on the ipod because of the restoration process. I have to connect it to the computer to add music but then that is when Itunes again says your ipod has been corrupted. Any Help? Thank You
My iPod classic did the same thing, and I freaked out for the longest time, even went to BestBuy for questions who referred me here. Then I did the basic "re-set" (NOT restore!) of the iPod and it's been working fine since (fingers crossed). Hitting restore (as you found out) wipes out all of the songs/photos/videos/etc. I had to do that previously when my iPod wiped out its files on its own (another topic altogether...).
The steps to the basic re-set are found in the FAQ troubleshooting support page. I only needed to follow the first two:
1. Toggle the "hold" button on and off. You will see a little lock appear in the upper right hand corner beside the clock.
2. Re-set your iPod by simultaneously holding down the Menu and the Select button (center button) until the silver apple appears. A progress bar will also appear and run across the screen (on iPod classics at least).
Further suggestions:
3. Always make sure your have the latest iPod software updates and iTunes updates (yeah, it's a pain in the butt as iTunes seems to get a new update everytime you connect to the 'net...). However, the latest versions of iTunes have a screen that tells you if your iPod software is up-to-date.
4. Make sure your USB port connections are "tight." A loose cable will make it look like the iPod has been disconnected improperly and cause all kinds of recognition problems. Also a faulty or damaged cable (say caused by a family pet who likes to chew wires) may cause recognition problems.
5. The Geek Squad at Best Buy also suggested to me to reinstall the latest update of iTunes even if you've reset your iPod.
PS: It has taken almost 3 weeks to reload the songs that were on my iPod before its crash. I always suggest making a backup of your iTunes library. I periodically remove files from the iTunes library on my hard drive and move them to an external drive. -
My iPod seems to advance song by a minute or more while paused!
I've noticed (I can almost swear it didn't used to do this before) that my iPod, obtained around 2003 or so, started to do the following weird thing. I keep it in my car, plugged into the cigarette lighter for power. I listed to audiobooks while driving, and pause it when I get out of the car. When I get back, it seems to have moved forward from the spot where I paused it - something like a minute or more each time. Makes me think I'm losing my mind since I've lost a piece of the audiobook's text each time! Does anyone know why this would happend and how I can prevent it?
thanks,
Mikehave you disconnected your iPod witout really ejecting it first? (actually, I do it all the time...), but is seems that this causes the ipod songs to become corrupted and not to play. scan your ipod to see what happens. try this.

My iPod has been working fine till last week where all of a sudden when I play any playlist or play all of the songs, it seems to skip like 3 songs, even when it is already on shuffle, then when I click to go and play them sometimes they play sometimes they don't. Is it becuase of a bad file (song) i've put onto my ipod?
Please help.

My iPod is not being recognized by iTunes. iPod seems disabled and not responding to anything. Permanently on "do not disconnect". Not sure what to do.
Hello,
My iPod is not being recognized by iTunes or internet
explorer. It used to, but not anymore. It just
dosent show up when I connect it to my computer.
Also, the "do no disconnect" sign does not appear on
my iPod when I connect it. It is still able to
recharge, though.
have u tried a different usb port?
I read that I have to restore it. I have tons of
songs in my iPod that I do NOT want erased! How can
I back these songs up? I have some songs on my iPod
that are from another person's computer, so if they
get erased, the songs are gone forever.
try this http://www.copypod.net/

Some pictures in I-Photo seem to be corrupted. When I click on them, they come up for a second, then turn black with a white circle in the middle and what looks like an explanation mark. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to the photos that are a problem, some older ones, some newer, some albums have none, some albums have a lot.
Thanks,
Marktime to time (when I have a chance), I will go to Finder, bring up ALL Images and start going through them to label them (before I put a label on them, they are simply listed as 123 jpg, 124 jpg etc.).
You're damaging the Library doing that, and that's the cause of your problem.
Never, ever, ever use the All Images search and work on items in yoyr iPhoto Library. They must only be accessed via the iPhoto window.
Restroe from abck up or try rebuild the Library:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Next: You need to learn how to use iPhoto. There's no need to be dragging things to the desktop:
For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:

Why is my ipod touch saying "backup corrupt or not compatible" error message?
My iPod touch has been fine for years and I only really add new music sporadically. Now I am getting an error message saying that it cannot back up my iPod because it is corrupt or not compatible with the iPod. I have already done a factory reset and it still has not fixed the issue.
Did you try deleting the existing backup?
iTunes>Preferences>Devices and select that backup and click on Delete? -
I just connected my iPod after opening iTunes to make a playlist and repeatedly have gotten the message that 'iTunes has detected an iPod that might be corrupted." I can either disconnect and try again, which I've done multiple times to no avail, or restore. I don't want to lose the dozens of playlists, so do I have any options that anyone knows of?
Thank you.What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. -
does anyone know how to delete the back up for the ipod? I am getting an error message that says "iTunes could not back up iPod because it is corrupt or not compatible with iPod; delete back up and try again"
Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and highlight the backup you want to delete and click on Delete Backup

ITunes said my iPod Nano 4G is corrupted when it's in one USB port, but not in the other.
iTunes said my iPod Nano 4G is corrupted when it's in one USB port, but not in the other. Is the port faulty? Windows 7 PC
Could just be a loose connection or that the cable itself is going bad. There are a number of factors that could play into this scenario.

Hi I Have an Ipod classic.My problem is that the Ipod seems to sync music ok but I have a number of podcasts downloaded to itunes but these don't sync to the ipod,(they have in the past,but no longer). Has anyone any suggestions please ?
hi gary
have you tried to sync your ipod ,when you click on the side where it shows your ipod?
Click on where it shows your ipod name for example garys ipod,when it opens up the summary page click the sync box,bottom right,and see if that helps.
In the summary page click on podcasts,click the box on sync podcast box (top),read before when the box opens and says are you sure you want sync podcasts.,theres a box underneath,which says automatically include ,make sure thats ticked.
hope this may help madforit -
I tried to restore my 120 gb iPod and got an error 1413 message - "cannot restore iPod". I started to reset turning the hold switch on and off and now my iPod seems to be permanently locked. I had been having trouble syncing music, When I tried to sync, iTunes said it didn't recognize my iPod, even though I was on the iPod page in iTunes which showed the model number and the serial number of my iPod
I am having essentialy the same problem, but my iPod came from a PC and is now on a PC. The person who gave me the iPod didn't give me the wall adapter piece, so I bought a "Griffin" brand that was said to be compatible with this model. When I first plugged it into the wall, the Apple appeared with a bar underneath as though it was loading the new software. When the bar got to the end, the "plug into the wall" icon reappeared, but when I plug it in to the wall now, that icon is the only thing that shows, even after resetting and trying to run diagnostics.
When I doc the iPod on a charger I have or plug the USB into my computer and "reset" it, a battery with a charge icon appears, but there is no "motion" in the icon so it doesn't appear to be charging. The screen eventually goes back to the apple then to the "plug it into the wall" icon. HELP!!! Is is possible the wall adapters isn't the right one? Should I be charging through a firewire cable instead (which I also don't have...)?

Can't download music because ""File seems to be corrupt.''
In the past 24 hours I have attempted to download 3 songs from iTunes, but get this message: ""The file seems to be corrupted. To redownload the file, choose ""Check for Purchases'' from the store menu.'' When I do that, the same message comes back again and again. iTunes has already sent me a receipt and charged me for the downloands, yet I haven't actually received them. Any suggestions/explanations?
the same thing has happened to me. i tried to download the same song 2 days ago and i was charged but when i try to download it it gives me that notice. my sister said that happened to her and you have to repurchase the song but its not really fare because you have to purchase the song twice.
