Mac formatted ipod stuck in recovery mode when rescuing tunes onto a PC

Hi
I have an ipod Nano (6gb) that is Mac formatted. I tried to recover the tunes from it to a PC desktop with Xplay. It started ok and then the ipod entered into recovery mode so it could be reformatted for Windows (I think itunes started doing it).
At that moment I couldn’t recover my tunes. Now whenever I use Xplay again it says "not accessible. The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable.” So it’s stuck in recovery mode.
I know the tunes are still on the ipod because the amount of disk space taken up hasn’t changed, despite the ipod not actually showing the songs on the UI.
How can I fix this so I can grab all the tunes off the ipod before I restore the ipod in itunes and thus effectively formatting it?
Cheers,
L

Try changing the ipod's drive letter per these directions:

Greetings billewen690,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that after restoring your iPod, you are seeing error 1. In this situation there may be a couple of further steps I would recommend to go along with disabling the security on your Windows computer. If you have completed all of these steps and continue to receive the error, it may be necessary to follow the link and contact Apple support.

IPod 4 only working when conected to mains after battery replacment and stuck in recovery mode when conected to power

HI,
i have replaced the screen and battery on my iPod 4 i then tested it and it was working so i sealed it closed. (still working after sealed) (when new batterys are installed it is normally reccomended that you give them a full battery cycle for optium battery life), so i let it die. after this i put it on charge and the lightening bolt sign for charging came on, i left it for a full day and no change in battery life and when disconected it died so i plugged it into the pc and this continued so i reset it a few times then it decided to loop the apple sign when conected to power. i put it into dfu mode (the only time the pc reconises it) and went to restore it and it came up error 21 (i think) and now is stuck in recovery mode and dies when disconected from power. Lots of probs
any help would be apreacheated. thanks

Take it to somebody with more experience fixing iPods.

My ipod touch 2nd generation is stuck at recovery mode when I tried to update from a 3 software to a 4 software. I tried puting it in DFU mode to fix it but a window pops up about the computer found new hardware and needs a cdrom. What do I do?

My Ipod is stuck at restore mode, when I downloaded fixrecovery and zlib1, they gave me a file which I can't open iBSS.n72ap. Fixrecovery wanted me to put it in DFU mode and I did but a window from my computer pops up telling me that it found new hardware and wants a CDrom to install. The ipod did not come with a CDrom software. It wont go back, and iTunes does not recongnize it. What should I do?

Try here.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would first try removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

Sorry, must pay more attention to the profiles:>) Unfortunately that link is the only one I know of that refers to the recovery mode problem. I'll have another dig around and if I find anything else I'll let you know. The only other thing I can think of is to run Disk Utility repair on your iPod and see if that helps. It's a shot in the dark I'm afraid.
Set up iTunes "not" to open when you connect the iPod.
Enable Disk Use on the iPod
Eject the iPod and shut down iTunes
Reconnect the iPod and open Disk Utility
Click on your iPod in the Utility pane and choose Repair Disk.
Close Disk Utility and open iTunes.

Ipod stuck in recovery mode after

My iPod touch (4th gen) is stuck in recovery mode after trying to update it to iOS5. I was able to download it, but when it would try to instal it would fail and get a system error. So now it is stuck in recovery mode and when I try to restore it, I get the error 1611. How can I fix it to get it working again? Im on windows 7, and have the newest version of itunes. Please help, thanks!

Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.

Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

Help!!! Ipod stuck in recovery mode!!

My IPod touch (4th generation 8G) is stuck in recovery mode. When I try to restore it ITunes says that an error (1604) has occurred. I have tried switching USB ports and using different cables but nothing works!! And sometimes ITunes doesn't even recognise that my IPod is plugged in, I know it is because my computer makes the noise that means something is plugged in!! Please help!!!

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

I'm not getting the "is not recognizable error" It just literally doesn't even exist to my computer, My iPod doesn't even show up in the devises on my computer, BUT WHEN I PLUG IT IN, IT CHARGES? so I'm just really confused, any input would be great. Thanks!

Jailbroken iPod stuck in recovery mode iTunes and PC won't recognize

Hello,
First of all, I bought my iPod Touch 8GB 2G (modelnumber is A1288,so according to Apple it's 2G) second hand. Second, I'm really a noob! I don't know anything bout iPods, so please explain everything extensively. I bought the iPod for my little brother, and he decided to jailbreak it. Unfortunately, I didn't know that, so when I tried to erase all data from the iPod at once, it got stuck in recovery mode (with the usb cable and itunes logo). iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod, the PC (win7, 64-bit) doesn't recognize the iPod either (it reports: 'Windows doesn't recognize the USB device'). DFU mode doesn't do anything. The device is called 'Unknown Device' in Device Manager. I tried to manually update the driver of the iPod with C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Driver but it failed (Code 10. Device doesn't start). De failed attempt only resulted in the change of the name from 'Unknow Device' (with a yellow exclamenation mark) into 'Apple Mobile Device USB Driver'. But when I connect the iPod to another computer it's back to 'Unknown Device' again and gets Code 43 in Device Manager. What can I do?
With kind regards,
Rosa (from the Netherlands)
Problems:
Jailbreak (don't want it)
Stuck in recovery mode (usb cable and iTunes logo)
iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod
Windows doesn't recognize the device
Unknown Device' at Device Manager
Can't update the driver via Device Manager (Code 10. Device doesn't start. And on another laptop Code 43)

Sometimes jailbreaking bricks the device.
