My Ipod is "corrupted". Told me to reset it. I did. Still says its "corrupted", and it won't let me put anything on it.
I've tried this several times...the Ipod looks like its ready to go, screen works, everything looks brand new. I have no problems with my ITunes either. But, it just keeps coming up with "Ipod is corrupted"

Hi pianobarmike,
Have you tried running disk error checking (oftentimes just called "chkdsk") over your iPod?
For instructions on how to run chkdsk, see this MS document:

  • I have just updated to itunes 11 and when I plugged in my ipod classic it locked up. When I tried again it said my ipod was corrupt and advised I reset it. I reluctantly did this as I lost all my music and now itunes just locks up when I plug in my ipod.

    Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.

  • My ipod has been connected for over an hour, and it still says 'determining tracks to sync'. What should I do?

    I have an iPod classic 30GB. I've just got a new laptop and i have transferred my itunes library from my old laptop to my new one. I've also updated my library substantially, and want to erase everything from my ipod and sync the new library onto it. However, it's been connected for an hour and is still saying 'determining tracks to sync'. Is this normal? How long should it take, if my new library is about 10.5GB large?

    When you switched chargers, did you use the 10 watt chargers designed for the iPad?  Did you also change the connecting wires?  Have you tried power off, hold the sleep/power button until the red slider appears and slide to off.  Then plug the iPad in?
    If none of that is working, it could be a bad 30-pin connector in the iPad...an Apple genius bar tech can test and see if that is the problem.

  • I lost my ipod touch- if someone deletes and resets it will I still be able to use that tracker app?

    I lost my ipod yesterday
    and my friend told me that if they go to settings and delete and reset my ipod that i wont be able to find it- is that true?
    and if it is how does the report your lost device thing work? like if someone opens a new account on your ipod does Apple send something to them or what? Do they send the police? I'm just curious. Thanks

    No.
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • When i press the "home" button the screen says IPOD DISABLED connect to itunes. when I hook up to itunes it says it cannot recognize the ipod till it has the passcode entered, but the screen still says Ipod disabled   connect to  itunes

    my 4th gen ipod touch says ..... IPOD DISABLED   connect to ITunes.  I connect to Itunes ...Itunes says it cannot recognize or communicate with the Ipod till i enter the passcode.  Does anyone know what to do?

    Connect the device to the iTunes the iPod is normally synced with in recovery mode and restore it.  See this article for instructions on getting the iPod into recovery mode.

  • My ipod is corrupted and when I try to reset it it will not let me, I tried using the diagnostics feature but its not working? Help please!!

    I dropped my ipod classic and i tried turning it back on and it asks me to plug it in. I did so and it said the data was corrupted. I tried resetting it and it said something about fire wire? I looked on the internet and tried setting it to "Disk mode" and plugging it in and trying it that way, but it doesnt come up on my itunes. I tried diagnosing the issue on the ipod itself and I get to the "Accessorize test" and it says I dont have a FWPWR. How can I fix this??

    Ok you got to make sure that you are the adiminstrtor on the computer. After you do that right click on my computer and hit properties. Make sure under the general tab that you are running windows (2000) service pack (4) or Windows XP Home or Pro service pack (2). After you have established that type in on the support search box uninstall itunes and quicktime for windows. Then once you have downloaded itunes restore the ipod and see if this fixes your problem.

  • IPod is corrupt: will not restore, constantly resets itself

    I have had my iPod 60GB for 2 years now and it just started going crazy recently. First it started skipping songs (not playing them) then when I connected it to my computer it said my iPod was corrupt and needed restored. So I clicked on restore and it keeps giving me an error message (1429) and says it cannot restore the iPod because it is corrupt. I've tried everything on the error message help page and nothing works. I tried changing the USB it was plugged into, and that didn't work. It says Windows couldn't install the software for my new drive. Now my iPod is setting here constantly restarting itself, over and over and over the Apple logo screen is coming on for a few seconds, then shutting off and back on and so on.
    One of my friends said he had one that did the same and he had to send it in and get a new one- I certainly hope I will NOT have to purchase another one, because I certainly feel that for $280 you should get something that should work or can be easily fixed. If this is the case, and I don't get a new one, I will certainly NEVER purchase an Apple product again for sure.
    I really like my iPod so I hope there's a way to fix it. I cannot get it to shut off now though! It keeps turning itself on and off. I am using a PC with Windows XP Serv. Pack 3 if that helps.
    Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

    Virtually same problem. ipod shows playing a song, but I can hear the hard drive clicking. I tried to restore, but says ipod is corrupt. This is unreal as it is not long out of warranty and i paid way too much for this to happen. I have only used it about three months off anf on since I purchased it. It is stuck and will not shut off just the hard drive is turning. I placed it on a magnet in my car, and was wondering if that caused the problem.
    Any help would be great as mor than one individual has this same issue.

  • 4GB iPod Nano Corrupt

    I updated recently to itunes 7.1 and it worked fine on my ipod (60gb video) and I figured I would connect my Mum's 4gb nano to update that too.
    Connected the nano and it updated the actual ipod and told me to leave it to restart, so I did. It finished updating and then itunes came up with a message that the ipod is corrupt and needs restoring/disconnect and then reconnect. It also decided it would be fun to completely wipe my Mum's ipod.
    Firstly there is no restore button on itunes, and I have tried right clicking on it and everything. Nothing works. So I disconnected the nano and reconnected it, same message appeared.
    Then I decided to reset the actual ipod, did that. Had no affect and I have noticed that every time I connect it to the computer, the actual ipod resets itself which is weird...
    I decided maybe itunes 7.1 was lame and updated to 7.2, still nothing. Then I decided to put itunes 6 on the laptop and see if that worked. Itunes still doesn't read the ipod but windows does-so I tried renaming the drive, putting ipod in disk mode etc. etc. I have done EVERYTHING that it this site has told me to do and still it isn't working.
    I am getting really fustrated now and I don't have an Apple store anywhere near me. What on earth am I meant to do? And don't tell me the five R's because I have done that a gazillion times!!!

    Ok I did a diagnostic test thing on the actual ipod (ok, so I didn't try everything!!) The ipod is now recognised in itunes, and doesn't say it is corrupt any more which is good. BUT it says it is in 'disk mode' and that I need to restore it. One tiny problem, there is no restore button that I can find in itunes-what do I do???

  • Ipod is corrupted!! Tried everything?

    "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 diconnecting and reconnecting the iPod." Well I did what the program told me to. I reset it, tried reconnect/disconnect it, yet when I try to sync/update my ipod it keeps saying the same thing! It also says "Your iPod needs to reformatted for use with windows. Would you like to run iTunes to restore your ipod now?" I restore and everything. it still says the same thing. What should I do? Is there anyway I could fix this?

    You can also try running some tests manually on the iPod. Reset the iPod by holding down the center and the menu button simultaneously. Then when the apple logo appears, hold down the center and the left button at the same time. A few seconds later, a screen should show up saying "Manual" or "Automatic Test" whichever you choose is up to you. From here you can test the hard drive, accessories, SystemConfig, Memory, Power, and I/O. If this doesnt tell you anything, it may be time to take it to apple for some professional help.
    Best of luck!

  • Itunes telling me ipod is corrupt - what can I do?  Only have light on nothing else

    My daughter's ipod won't turn on, she thought it was a problem with battery but I have charged it and light comes on but nothing else.  Connected it to iTunes only to be told Ipod is corrupted - what can I do?  Went to support centre but Monday before I can get a response.

    Have you tried rebooting for the Mac and iPod to see if that helps? To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    It wouldn't hurt to also try plugging the iPod into another USB port and use a different USB sync cable.

  • If i factory reset my ipod touch(5th gen), can i reset it as the option 'set up as new ipod', and then i can just go into the app store/itunes store and restore my music and apps and not icloud with photos and ect?

    if i factory reset my ipod touch(5th gen), can i reset it to the option 'set up as a new ipod', and then i can just go into the app store/itunes store and log into my apple ID so i can just restore my music and apps and not icloud with photos, contacts, ect. and then later i can add contacts that i need/want instead of them restoring them from icloud?
    The reason i asked this question is because i have been wondering this a lot ever since i got an exchange on this ipod (and ive only had it for a few weeks now) because my last ipod had a lot of problems. so after i restored my ipod with my computer/itunes, i downloaded apps that i wanted, and then when i went to the storage to see how much storage was left, it said 0 bytes. i was freaking out because i didnt know how that could be, i mean, cause like, that is impossible when i just 'purchased' it, that the space was full but i looked and all my pictures were on this ipod and i already put them on my computer so i dont need them anymore thats why i wanna reset it now so there is nothing on it so i can have more space for stuff to do and download on it.
    it is updated to iOS 8 but that happened when i purchased it, so i didnt have a choice to update it even though i didnt want to update to iOS 8...
    and i hope you understand my problem..
    i would REALLY REALLY appreciate it if someone could tell me a solution to my problem!!! thank you so much!

    Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

  • IPod classic corrupted and won't restore on Windows

    So I have an 80Gb iPod classic. While I was transferring some files something went wrong with the USB connection and iTunes immediately froze and so did my iPod. So I reconnected my iPod and now it won't let me transfer any files because it keeps getting stuck. Then I tried to restore and got an error that I was unable to restore. I disconnected my iPod and it seems like it restored because the next thing I knew everything has been wiped out. But when I connected it to my PC a message appears that the iPod is corrupted and a windows prompt appears telling me to format the disk. So here's what I've done.
    -formatted the iPod in FAT32
    -connected the iPod, no 'iPod corrupted' message appears.
    -tried to restore, but received the same error message, won't restore
    -when iPod disconnected it went through the same cycle (iPod restoring-then iPod corrupted-iPod needs to be formatted)
    -went to Apple service center, they restored it using a mac and everything went smoothly, song were able to be transferred without a glitch.
    -however will not work on PC needs to be restored again
    can someone help to shed some light? is there something wrong with the hard disk? If yes, then why can it be restored through mac but not windows?
    what can i do to solve this problem?
    thanx

    I was sort of relieved to read that I am not the only one with freezing issues.
    I have been to the apple store twice only to be told there is nothing wrong and of course my warranty has expired !! I have the Model A1136 EMC No. 2065 80gig classic ipod. My dell computer is only 2 weeks old and works fantastic, however, when I open itunes and my ipod and it freezes, so does my pc and I have to do a task manager to get out of itunes and there are times when I can't and have to reboot my pc.
    Well it has been two weeks now of me trying all that I can to fix the issue and only thing I can see so far that it freezes up when its in the analyzing the gapless sound upon adding music from my folders, etc etc. So I tried to "uncheck" everything that had to do with the sound and it worked. Oh and by the way, try setting your ipod on disk mode when you are trying to restore the ipod. It works better that way. Don't know what is going on but I am so angry with myself for being so attached to this ipod There is nothing out there that compares to my ipod and it's amazing the prices of mp3 that even come close to 80 gigs.
    Good luck to all and if I find anything else to share, I certainly will Don't hesitate to email me if someone finds out or has a patch or something to get this thing going properly again bye for now ,,,,,,,,
