udated and its on 10.6.8 yet still no change
Your signature in 1st post was 10.8.2.
You went backwards?
Did you reformat and reinstall when you first purchased it?
If not I HIGHLY recommend you do that before you do anything else.

Hi
So just close iTunes and re-open iTunes thats it and that worked for you?
When you say reset your settings do you mean to factory settings? As my iPod was swapped at the store for a new one and the problem is still there...
Thanks.

ITunes has detected an ipod that appers to be corrupted

"iTunes has detected an ipod that appears to be corrupted" is the error message I continue to get with iTunes v.7.0.1 in Windows XP. My iPod will load on my iMac and let me add songs. I wanted to start using my iPod with my PC so I restored it on the PC. It shows up as Removable Disk (M:) under My Computer. I have uninstalled iTunes and have read just about everything I can to figure out the problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Did you do it using the latest iPod updater? In fact, you may want to find a past version of the updater and not use the utility bundled in iTunes 7.0.1.

ITunes has detected an iPod that appears to be currupted.

About a week ago my iPod completely froze while I was trying to use it. Since then nothing has worked right. It doesn't seem to charge and it doesn't connect and disconnect correctly. When I try to connect my iPod it either doesn't show up in iTunes at all or I get the following error message "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore iPod before it can be used iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod." After the error message my iPod immediately disappears from the left hand side. After reading through the users guide I figured out how to get my iPod into disc mode and was able to restore it that way. However, I am still receiving the same error message. Any suggestions would be appreciated. My iPod is only a couple of months old.

I am experiencing a similar problem. My ipod turned on successfully but since then it has stayed frozen. According to the screen it is on hold but it isn't.I've tried charging it, but the message 'this ipod seems to be corrupt' comes up. I've tried to reset it but a message comes up saying it is not possible. I'm sorry I am not able to answer your problem but could you please help me by telling me how long the warranty is as i want to get it sorted in the apple store tomorrow and possibly exchange it.
Many thanks, I hope your ipod is soon fixed.

ITunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode loop

Hello,
I have an Ipod 5 and during update of the OS to the latest, the process got an error.
No my Ipod is in recovery mode. Everytime I download the Update (Restore and update) there is this constant pop up that comes up (iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode).
I click ok everytime but then after 5h download there is the Processing file part which when I click ok on the pop that constantly keeps coming after some it, all stops and I need to restart the process again for 5h. Keeps going on like that.
Its really annoying stuck in an update like that which only a minor patch. I can't use my ipod for days now.
Could you please help.
Thanks
Jérémie

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

ITunes has detected an iPod in Recovery Mode. Wiped out library and is stuck in loop.

Message "iTunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes" and after restoring, all content was erased from iPod and it is stuck in a loop displaying the same message - never reloads library. It just returns to error message. There was no problem with the iPod. It worked fine until iTunes "restored" it. Support gives the same crap - out of warranty, send money for repair. Try rebooting... right, that fixes everything.
iTunes was recently updated and that may be the root cause of the failure. Communication between iTunes and iPod is still functioning - iTunes can reset everything back to factory default but, hangs and won't reload library to iPod. Anyone else have this problem after installing new version of iTunes?

Updated my Ipod got "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." Error.

I had some new albums I bogut from Itunes and wanted to put them on my Ipod Touch. Went to do that, ITunes said there was an update. I downloaded the update and then I couldn't see anything in my Ipod nor listen to anything. The screen of my Ipod shows a USB cable pointing to Itunes and when I plug it into ITunes again I get the message "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." And the ONLY option it gives me is to restore my IPod to factory settings. I looked online for answers but all I see are people having problems with this because they bricked their phone, which I haven't ever done or even know how to do. Would appreciate some help, planned on spending my day off listening to my new albums.

If you are in the USA you can redown
If the music is not in your iTunes library (it is not in the backup that iTunes makes), you can redownload it if you are in the USA.

Tried to upgrade but got "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode"

Hi, just tried updating my Itouch 5 to the newest upgrade on Itunes. Mid-way the Itouch screen displayed the image of the plug pointed to the Itunes Icon as if it was new. Then Itune as me if I wanted to restore. I really was sad to loose my kids videos but seemed to have no option, so I hit restore. Itunes proceeded to download the upgrade....again then I got this message
"iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes."
I chose restore again, then it proceeded to re-download the upgrade and present the same message. Help... How can I get my Touch up and working again? And does this mean I've lost my videos for good?

Error message "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted"

Everything used to work just fine until recently. On my Windows XP Home SP3 laptop, with iTunes (version 9.0.2.25) already open, I connect my 5th Generation iPod Nano and get the following message in iTunes:
"iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod."
If I plug the iPod into the computer without first starting iTunes, the Windows ‘Auto Play’ message comes up immediately then disappears and then the following message appears:
"Your iPod needs to be formatted for use with Windows. Would you like to run iTunes to restore your iPod Now?"
Otherwise, the iPod functions normally when not connected in iTunes. I can play the music, videos, and record videos with no problems.
The troubleshooting steps I took were:
I performed a reset of the Nano by first sliding the hold switch on/off a few cycles, leaving switch off (no orange showing), then pressed and held the Menu + Select button until the Apple logo appeared. Then I tried it in iTunes again; no such luck, same error. I then did a reset again, this time with the iPod connected to an AC power source; still no luck. I tried the reset numerous times and it didn’t help.
Next, I ran the diagnostics by pressing and holding the Menu + Select buttons immediately followed by the Select + Reverse buttons. I stepped through all the diagnostics tests and all tests passed as far as I could tell (there was no errors reported).
After this, I tried it in iTunes again and still no luck.
I even tried the iPod on my Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) machine and it behaved the same way. The version of iTunes on that machine was at an earlier version when I first tried it there. I then upgraded iTunes to the latest version but that didn’t help either.
I can sync my iPod Touch and 2nd gen Nano without any problems.
Sorry about be long winded about this but I am wondering if anyone else may have other suggestions. I want to try and avoid a restore if possible because I have some videos I recorded that I would like to get off the iPod. I’m not concerned about my music files as I have them always backed up but didn’t get the videos off yet.

I am having this same problem with my brand new Mac Pro. It seems to be tied to the computer awaking from sleep (no I am not leaving the iPod connected while sleep... I am referring to waking the computer from sleep and then connecting iPod as opposed to restarting the computer and then connecting the iPod). In other words, if you are getting this error message, try ejecting the iPod, restart your computer, then connect the iPod and see if the error message goes away. For me it does, but I only get one shot at it, if I eject the iPod and then reconnect it, the error message returns. This happens on both iPods I have. I have rebooted (hold menu-select) and gone to disc mode (hold select-play) and the error message remains. The only way it goes away is to reboot the computer, then I get one shot at hooking up an iPod.
I NEVER had nor get this error message when I connect to the Windows PC that I started with. Perhaps the iPod does not like moving from PC to Mac?
