IPod wont sync - says corrupt no matter what i do

I have a late 2009 iPod that has had games put on it - how do i get them off?  All of the music and everything has been wiped off.  The iPod freezes iTunes and everything else when connected.  I have reset it, then tried to restore it (when I finally get the message to restore), then it gives the message about being corrupted again.  I have updated iTunes, updated all Windows XP fixes - everything.  I have even gotten it in to disk mode and it still gives the corrupted error. I am almost certain that the issue is with the games (iQuiz, Klondike and Vortex) Any ideas?

First try changing your iPod's Disk Letter as described in this Apple support document to see if it helps with the restore issue.

Otherwise, try disabling any and all Firewall, AntiVirus, and other security software you have running on your system before connecting your iPod.  They may be causing the freezing issue.  See this article for more troubleshooting solutions.

    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • Ipod wont sync - Says library is being used by another version

    I try to open iTunes and it keeps giving me an error message saying my library is connected to a different version of Itunes (or something to that effect). I do not have another Itunes program. Last night I did install media Sync for blackberry I thought that might be the problem so i uninstalled that program but still no luck...I am very frustrated.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks!

    The exact error message would be helpful.

  • HT201413 my ipod wont restore says an error occured (1)?

    my ipod wont restore says an error occured (1)?

    Hi missnaughty06,
    Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    It seems like your iPod can't be restored due to an "error 1" message, and you've found the article regarding resolving issues between iTunes and security software.
    Be sure to follow the steps in that article to make sure that iTunes can communicate with your iPod. If you continue to see the error message, this article on restore errors suggests contacting Apple Support at this point:
    Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
    These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
    Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    From:

    All the best,

  • My Mavericks upgrade crashed my hard drive and I had to reinstall Mountain Lion.  Now I cannot get any of the apps that I purchased to download.  The icons on the launchpad just say "waiting" no matter what I try.

    My Mavericks upgrade crashed my hard drive and I had to reinstall Mountain Lion.  Now I cannot get any of the apps that I purchased to download.  The icons on the launchpad just say "waiting" no matter what I try.  My app store ID is fine.  What do I do?

    Are you now using a different username from the one you used prior to migrating? If so that is the reason for the problem. You might, then, give this a try:
    To fix Home folder permissions
    Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder.  At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
    sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
    Press RETURN.  You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.

  • I downloaded itunes 10.5 and now my ipod wont sync up with it, whats wrong?

    i downloaded itunes 10.5 and ever since then my ipod wont get recognised by itunes, how do i fix this?

    This tutorial for downgrading says you have to do this when that notice appears after you've downgraded:
    iTunes 10.5 upgrades the iTunes library file and won’t let you downgrade, so you will need the prior version library file. Here’s how to go about that
    5) You will need to rename iTunes Library.itl to iTunes Library.bak
    6) Go into the “Previous iTunes Libraries” folder where you will find several files with dates in their names. The most recent one will have the .itl extension, but the others don’t. Copy that to the parent folder ~/Music/iTunes/ and rename it iTunes Library.itl
    7) Congrats. You’re done.

  • New ipod touch wont sync and a frozen screen what do i do have restored it but nothing

    I have a new ipod touch  just put it on the computer for the first time and it wont sync and has a frozen screen.
    i have restored it and that did not work.

    Unplug your iPod from your computer and hold down the home and power buttons until the screen turns off. Then hold them again until the Apple logo shows. Eventually, your iPod should work again.

  • My Ipod wont sync with my new library and I dont know why not. It will show that it is connected through home sharing, but it is only avalible when i am with my laptop! I dont know how to get this current library as mine on my ipod, help!

    My ipod will not sync with my laptop. I have had previous Ipods in the past, but since then I have grown out of most of my music. Also about a year and a half ago I got a new laptop. I used the same Itunes name, but now on my new Ipod it has all of my old music and it refuses to download any of my new music. When I am using home sharing though, it says that I can turn on my "Library" but that my "music" is what is perminately on the computer. This only works though if I am near my laptop. When I try to transfer my library onto my ipod it wont let me. My music on my ipod is completely different than my normal itunes library on my computer and I have no idea how to transfer it. When I plug it in, it wont sync at all, or show that there is any device even plugged in. I am frustrated and tired of not having any  of my music, so someone please help!!!

    You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. To make this your syncing computer:
