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!

Setesh, See if both computer has the same version of iTunes, if both are the same, then it is your PC, that has plug-ins which is in conflict it iTunes. ( normally it is the Antivirus or some plug-ins to beautify your screen)
If it is different, most likely the other PC has an older version of iTunes, so you should downgrade your iTunes to that older version, which your iPod interface well with.
Other probable causes,
you are using the USB 1.1 port at the front of your PC, and not the USB2,0 port at the back of your PC. so switch to the back.
Dont use any other USB devices, when you are syncing the iPod.
Dont use any USH Hub.
Have a nice day!

My Ipod appears to be whiped clean. I does nothing now. It didnt reinstall or upgrade at all. I have 2 Ipods and I think things got crossed up with them.

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

My cataloge won't open, says it is corrupt and repair won't work and I can't access anything.

Don't know what happened. Closed Lightroom after working on photos and now it won't open again. I get a pop up saying the cataloge is corrupt and when I try to repair, it won't work. The AdobeTech note comes up as an error page. I desperately need to open it as all of my recent vacation photos are on it and only half finished. Supposed to be showing them at a party this weekend.
Please can anyone help?

Still have to redo a lot of work.
If you save (xmp) metadata as you go, then you never have to redo editing work when falling to backup catalog (just sayin'..).
PS - all develop settings and almost all metadata will be in xmp if saved, but not everything from catalog is contained in xmp (and not everything in Lightroom is contained in your catalog!).

Try from a computer. You may have to reset your password. If you can't get the comfirmation email then you can use the secret question. Once you can log in then you change the the email address.

HT4623 my IPod Touch is a generation 3 with a camera and when i go into my settings and try to do what the instructions on your website say but in general i only have About and then the rest of the bars but i don't have one that says Software Update

my Ipod Touch is a generation 3 with a camera and when i go into the settings to look for the Software Update bar i don't have one

If you have cameras then you have 4G iPod. To update connect to your computer and update via iTunes
iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
- A 4G to 6.1.5 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

when i plug in my ipod classic it pops up ipod corrupted and i should restore the ipod but when i try it pops up unknown error 1415?

My suggestions, when Restoring the iPod.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC.
Disconnect all other USB devices, except the mouse and keyboard.
Stop all other programs except iTunes.
Good Luck!

If you have a graphic of iTunes and a cable displayed on your iDevice then it is in Recovery mode.
Check this to try an "exit"

Hi Inez2317,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you see a "No SIM" message on your iPad. You can find some troubleshooting steps that can help at this link:

Although the article references the iPhone, most of the steps can help troubleshoot an iPad as well.
All the best,

I restored my iPod in the middle of a download, now it can't do anything but restore, and when i restore it, the screen gets stuck on weird things, like the apple screen or purple or yellow. how do i get it un-stuck?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
