Ipod works but itunes says its corrupted...

the ipod won't mount on the desktop either...anyone recommend software that will maybe get it to mount so i can at least pull off the music? or software that will repair it without erasing all the music first?

Have you tried putting it into disk mode (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651) and then see if it can be seen in Finder or iTunes.

Ipod is connected, but Itunes says its not

Ok. So I just bought an 8gb 3rd generation nano. I've had the first gen nano since it came out and have never had a problem with itunes or charging or anything. I plug in the new nano and though its charging and the f drive says the ipod is there, iTunes says that there's no ipod connected. This is really frustrating. What do I do?

Thanks this worked a treat, spent over an hour trying to get my daughters 2nd generation nano to work with itunes after upgrading.
Leason learnt disconnect ipod before closing itunes.

Ipod Nano Restored, iTunes says its in recovery mode

I have an ipod nano, and at first it wasn't recognized by itunes and found posts that addressed this issue. Problem was solved...
Until I plugged the ipod back in itunes then gave a message saying "the ipod is in recovery please restore befor eyou can use with iTunes". The problem is is I have the most up to date software on my ipod and have restored it, but iTunes says it is still in recovery mode.
Could someone please shed some light on this? It's possible someone else had this problem as well..
Thanks in advance

Fair enough. I'm new to the Discussion place so
thanks for the tip. Do you think iPod Rip would be
able to get music from a crashed iPod?
Depends on how crashed "crashed" is. Will it still turn on/boot up to the menu? Does Windows recognize it as a drive when you connect it?
The application is fairly small, so it shouldn't take too long to download/install it and give it a shot. I've had some problems with iPodRip and QuickTime on some computers, and rather than spend time messing with it, I tried iPodUtil instead which seemed to work. The only thing with iPodUtil is that if you use the free trial version, every so often you'll see a popup that prompts you to pay for the registration, which is recommended, especially if the software works for you. You just have to acknowledge the message (every time it appears) and it continues importing your content.

I updated my ipod touch and now it won't work but itunes says everything is fine. What should I do?

I was updating my itouch that I got in September to the IOS 5 and everything went fine until the end of the update when it was creating a new back-up of the information on the itouch. When I saw that it didn't work and it told me to restore the previous bakc-up I tried that, but nothing happened. Itunes was doing a lot of work but my ipod touch didn't show that anything was happening. My ipod touch wants me to go back through the set up and when it gets to the part where you can restore a previous back-up I tell it to do that. The problem then is that it tells you to connect it to itunes and I do but the itouch doesn't seem to realize that it is plugged into itunes. Then I try to restore the old back-up form itunes and it immeadiately pops up saying htat it can't because of error: ipod (-50).

Ipod can charge but itunes says its not connected

Just got a ipod about an hour ago and connected it to my cpu and it is charging but when i try to put songs from my cpu to the ipod its doesnt show up anywhere i cant sync it and i did the diagnostics check and it says Ipod connection status failed. How do i fix it. I went to the help menu and none of it has resloved my problem.

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
Then try with the iPod in forced disk mode.
Putting iPod into disk mode.
Still no joy, see these.
USB drivers are not installed properly.
iTunes 7 doesn't recognize the iPod.

HT4623 says my phone is up to date on my phone, but itunes says its not!!! I don't get it!!! Tried updated it 8473748374983849 times still doesn't work!! What am I doing wrong?? :[[[ PLEASE HELP ME!!

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG??

Try restarting the phone by holding both the home button and the sleep button until the apple logo appears and then let them go. Wait for the phone to restart and check if th problem is still there
I would also restart ten compute or at least close iTunes and reopen it

Plenty of ipod space, but iTunes says I can't update or synchronize

I can't synchronize my ipod and itunes library. When I select my playlists and apply, I get a "Can't update because there's not enough space on your ipod". There aren't any files on the ipod though.

Restore the iPod.
tried it once, will do it again. I had to restore my
library after my hard drive crashed. Would this have
any effect??
Well, I'm on my third restore and now I'm ******. Also seems to be trying to load podcasts on the ipod by default. Unchecked the synch button on podcast, but it still tells me I don't have enough space.

Will I lose my music if iTunes says its corrupt to uninstall then reinstall

Will I lose my music if my iTunes is corrupt and needs to be uninstall and then reinstalled

Hi Amylu6274,
If you need to remove and reinstall iTunes on your Windows machine, you may find the following article useful:
Apple Support: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.

Cant open itunes as says its corrupted- what do I do ?

My ipod is displying apple logo and wont start up, hard reset leaves it the same, disc mode works but iTunes doesnt "see" it even if the computer does.

"My ipod is displaying apple logo and wont start up, hard reset leaves it the same, disc mode works but iTunes doesn't "see" it even if the computer does."
It worked two days ago fine, for two years, until I installed this newest iTunes update, then for one day it kept on freezing and going to apple logo screen mode, then today it only goes to that screen and wont start up at all.
I've tried the hold down two buttons hard reset, that doesn't help. I've tried disc mode... but iTunes doesn't "see" it even if the computer does.
This is a pristine ipod, never exposed to adverse conditions, never dropped, never wet, and it worked perfectly two days ago.
Can I factory reset it somehow? (considering itunes can't "see" it)
[Ipod classic 160gb less than two years old.]

Looks like I might have found the solution on a youtube comment:
R.O:
"Plug into you laptop first, whichever set up you use that has iTunes, i know it won't read it, don't even open iTunes as of yet. Do the typical reboot "Menu +Center button at the same time" and hold it, DONT LET IT GO like we were told, when the apple pops up.. KEEP HOLDING IT it will make a new ding sound I've never heard before. and since its hooked to you laptop already an error message pops up and says apple will need to download something to repair your iPod. I when u see that that when i let reboot buttons go. hit ok on the laptop something downloads for like 20 seconds then the iTunes icon hops around when you open it it has a screen with an iPod classic on it and says "Software version blah blah, iTunes will check for an update on such n such date" AND FINALLY there's a "Restore" button. click that and you will be back to square one with your iPod. Renaming , adding all the music on it, but it will work again, finally. "
I had to do it twice, because my mac froze the first time, but its recognized it now and is downloading the software as we speak...
Now I've clicked the restore button and it's restoring... I'll post again if its a success, otherwise assume failure.

Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes on your computer. Recovery mode bypasses the passcode (and erases the iPod). For recovery mode see:

My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties

My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties.
First off, I'm using Windows XP (and Mac SnowLeopard) Here's how it started. For some reason my ipod started showing up as a camera when I plugged it in. It works fine in itunes, though. But when I tried to access it from "my computer" it only
showed me the one and only picture I had on my ipod. I deleted that picture hoping it would no longer show up as a camera. When it still did I right-clicked on it in "my computer" and selected "properties". Under "autoplay" I
chose for it to 'not show up' or 'take no action' or some such deal when I plugged it in. I thought that would stop it from popping up the window that asks whether i want to 'open camera wizard' or 'open camera scanning' or 'open folder to view files' or 'take
no action' , etc. But now it won't show up in "my computer" at all. I also have a Mac with SnowLeopard. When I plugged my ipod into it my ipod doesn't show up in "finder" either! So basically my problem is not a mechanical one with hardware
or software; yht ipod still works fine in itunes. I just need to undo the change I made. I've searched all around my preferences, utilities, options, etc. It shows up on my "Device Manager" but not on "Disk Management".
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
To show up in Windows Explorer, you can try placing the iPod into
disk mode.
Moreover, i recommend you to
restore ipod to factory settings.
If this issue still persists, locate to device manager, uninstall and reinstall USB Mass Storage Device driver.
Here is an article you can refer to below:

Hi, i am going to buy and iPhone 5 in france but it says its an unlocked iphone so i guess if i take it to Ecuador (my country) the iPhone is gonna work with a sim card from Ecuador right¿

If the receipt says "unlocked" (and not "SIM free") then it will work anywhere in the world that there is a GSM network. However, if it ever needs repair you will have to take it back to France.

I wanted to buy a Dragon ,Speech Recognition Programme for Mac but it says its for Lion, and I have Snow Leopard. Would it have worked on Snow leopard?

I wanted to buy a Dragon ,Speech Recognition Programme for Mac but it says its for OS Lion, and I have OS Snow Leopard. Would it have worked on Snow Leopard?

The simplest method would be to ask them for their Snow Leopard version and say you can't upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8. I'm almost sure they will sell you a copy.
Generally if your machine can only upgrade to 10.7 Lion and not directly to 10.8 Mountain Lion, then it's best left on 10.6.8. in my opinion as your going to loose too much other software and slow down your machine in the process.
This rapid OS X upgrade cycle has caused plenty of problems for users and developers alike, so I suspect you will find a sympathizer with the developer.
In fact I'm not recommending Mac's to anyone anymore because Apple simply has lost touch with reality.
