Itunes says my ipod is corrupt. it's not my intunes is. How do I fix it?

My ipod nano was corrupt and I restored it and even took it to the apple store to see cause it still was not working. It worked fine there and they even put sample music on it. I came home and tried putting all my music from itunes on it and it still says my ipod is corrupt I think its my computer and/or itunes. My itunes is even coming up with like a pink/purple background and it doesn't look right.
I reinstalled itunes and everything already and still nothing.
If anyone can help that would be extremely appreciated.

You would only be able to restore to a backup to iCloud or iTunes:

Itunes say my Ipod is corrupt

Itunes is saying my Ipod is corrupt when I plug it in. It says I should restore it but every time I try to it doesn't allow me to. I unplugged it to look at my song, and there is none, no music, videos or pictures. What do I do?

Hi gawc'n (and greg so cal),
Try this (in the first step, disconnect your iPod before proceeding):
1. Force your iPod into disk mode, following the instructions found in this article.
2. With your iPod in disk mode, now connect it to your computer.
3. If iTunes still shows the "Corrupt" error message, then let's proceed onto running a disk error check on your iPod. For information on "chkdsk" (what it is typically called here), see this MS document:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
4. After that is complete, it would be best to restore your iPod in iTunes again.

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.

ITunes says my iPod is corrupt

iTunes (7.02) says my iPod (nano) is corrupt and must be restored. I accepted this at face value and followed the instructions to initialize and reset my iPod and nothing got better.
So, I tried my wife's shuffle and iTunes is saying it's corrupt also.
I've tried 3 different USB ports to eliminate that as the problem.
Help please.

Itunes says my ipod is corrupted

I updated to the latest itunes and now it tells me that my ipod is corrupted. Tried restoring it but without success.

Hi calicerebro,
If iTunes on your computer is reporting corruption in your iPod nano, you may need to restore the iPod to factory settings. Use the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

HT201210 I get an error message that says the iPad software update server could not be contacted. How do I fix that?

I am trying to upgrade my iPad from version 4.3.5 to the new 5.0.1 and I get the above error message. It says, The iPad software update server could not be contacted. I also do not have an Update button when I go into Settings and General.

You must have ios 5 or later for that facility to show up. Meanwhile, keep trying /try later via iTunes on your computer..

Since latest iTunes update my iPod Classic no longer plays in Bose Sound Dock - how can I fix?

My iPod Classic charges, but no longer has sound when plugged into my Bose Sound Dock. I have tried resetting my iPod per troubleshooting instructions on both the Apple and Bose websites. I have not had any issues with speakers before. This problem began after plugging iPod into MacBook Pro and updating iTunes. I have turned both devices off (unplugged Sound Dock from power source) and tried other outlets and still am unable to get sound from Sound Dock despite the fact that it still charges the iPod. iPod works with Bose headphones, but no longer in Sound Dock. Help! Is this fixable?

First make sure your Bose Sound Dock is turn on, and pick the right input of source.
Have you tried to increase the volume of your Bose system ?
If still does not solve, then do a Restore (not reset) for your iPod, which will erase your iPod completely and sync with your iTunes once again.
Then reconnect it with your Bose sound dock, if it still does not work, likely it can be a problem of your Bose.

I have had to restore me PC to factory settings and now itunes says I am connected to another PC not the case . How do I get my music back

I have been having problems connecting to the internet, so I tried restoring to an earlier date with no luck, so I have had to restore my PC back to factory setting. When I log on to my iTunes library it says I am already connect to another PC. I have lost all my music and photos. I have them on my ipad but I don't want to sync it with my new account as this will take all my information of my iPad. Anyone know how to get my origianl iTunes back.

I did back up my computer and then put everything back on ( or so I thought) but it did not work properly ( I don't know why) maybe I hit the wrong button, but know on my back up for iTunes it is the one I have on my computer now without all my music and photos. Guess I'll just have to start again, I did manage to work out how to get any purchases I got from iTunes. So it's just all my own music bit of a bummer really but still you live and learn, so I'm told.
Thanks for the help thought much appreciated.

When attempting to install Acrobat IX i get the following error "Error 1335" "pcw-cab-acr 11007" saying the file is corrupt. What causes this error and how do I fix it?

Has anyone else found this error?

I have found a temporary solution, allowing the previous version of iTunes (v. 11.1.3 (x64) in my case) to be re-installed. It will allow you to re-establish use of iTunes until the Apple software engineers fix the most recent disasterous upgrade (v. 11.1.4). Please see and follow the procedure in the following article:http://smallbusiness.chron.com/reverting-previous-version-itunes-32590.html The previous version works beautifully.
