Normally when this error appears, your only course of action is to connect the device to your iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it to factory settings.

    As I said the iTunes program on the computer.  You open iTunes on the computer and go to the View menue in the upper rightand then click on preferences. Go to Devices and delete the backup.

  • My classic 80GB ipod wont turn on, wont restore, it says it may be corrupted and all it does is constantly beep when I attach to my laptop! Windows Vista, 32bit, new version of itunes, etc.. WHAT the ****!? What do I do!?

    My 80gb ipod classic is dead! It wont power on, it wont restore, it constantly beeps and shows the apple logo then my laptop says ipod in recovery mode, may have to restore. I read all the other problems and they are similar to mine but have not found anyone saying the screen does not power on except to show logo and do not disconnect. The annoying beeping sound stops after a while, then absolutely nothing! Is the battery removable, what do I do?

    I did that and then tried to log onto the Itunes again and a prompt came up and siad the Itunes file wasn't properly installed and it might be corrupted and I should retry it again. 
    Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
    Restart the PC first.
    If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

  • My iPod nano needs to be format, but it doesn't format using fat 32. And it says that it is corrupted. What should I do?

    My iPod nano needs to be format, but it doesn't format using fat 32. And it says that it is corrupted. What should I do?
    As I connect it to itunes, it shows that it needs to be format. When I try to format it (fat32) it doesn't finish. And it says, the ipod appears to be corrupted.

    similar to what is happening to me....the difference is, after restoring itunes detect ipod and ask to restore again and again....
    I know it may look kinda stupid but: just leave the ipod there for about 2 minutes, that's about the time my itunes is taking to detect my ipod...if it doesn't work, try connecting ur ipod to other computer with itunes (no need to sync, just to check if itunes will recognize) to check if the problem is with the ipod or with the itunes and/or computer.

    - If the error message says the downloaded firmware is corrupt, then delete the download and try again. It is located here:

    - If there is a problem with the iPod, then try placing the iPod in Recovery Mode and then restore.

  • HT1766 What do I do when I can't back up my ipod touch because it says backup was corrupt or not compatible?

    I'm trying to back up my daughter's ipod touch 4th generation so I can transfer her contents/music to her new ipod touch.  But when I go to File-Devices-Back up it says "it can't be backed up because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the ipod"  Any suggestions on what to do?  I don't want her to loose her contents. Thanks!

    Delete the existing backup file. Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and select the backup and click on delete. The backup the iPod again.  It does not effect the iPod.

  • My Ipod is frozed on the restore screen (the one with the apple, when you restore it). I don't know how to fix it, my computer says it is corrupt. What do I do?

    I was adding music to my Ipod the other day, from some cds I bought. My ipod randomly crashed, and said it was corrupt, and needed to be restored. So I began the restoration. It restored, said it needed it again! I began to restore it again, and my Ipod froze on the restore screen (where the apple shows). I don't know how to fix this, and I really don't want to buy a new one.
    Help?

    What happens if you try resetting it while still connected and restoring it one more time in iTunes?  To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • HT1339 I have an IPOD Nano 4th Generation 8GB and need to restore to factory settings as want to sell it; however it will not reset and when plugged into my MAC it says firmware corrupt? CAn anyone shed light on what i can do to overcome this issue?

    I have an IPOD Nano 4th Generation 8GB and am unable to restore it back to factory settings even when it is connected to my MAC.  I have tried the menu/select hold but is not doing anything.  When connected to the MAC and select restore in itunes it comes up with 'Firmware Corrupt'.  It also states the IPOD is up to date.  I have the latest operating system on my MAC and wonder if this may be part of the issue?
    Can anyone shed light as to what i can do to reset it back to factory settings as would like to sell it and ensure it is ready for the new owner.
    Thanks

  • IPod wont sync - says corrupt no matter what i do

    I have a late 2009 iPod that has had games put on it - how do i get them off?  All of the music and everything has been wiped off.  The iPod freezes iTunes and everything else when connected.  I have reset it, then tried to restore it (when I finally get the message to restore), then it gives the message about being corrupted again.  I have updated iTunes, updated all Windows XP fixes - everything.  I have even gotten it in to disk mode and it still gives the corrupted error. I am almost certain that the issue is with the games (iQuiz, Klondike and Vortex) Any ideas?

    First try changing your iPod's Disk Letter as described in this Apple support document to see if it helps with the restore issue.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1493
    Otherwise, try disabling any and all Firewall, AntiVirus, and other security software you have running on your system before connecting your iPod.  They may be causing the freezing issue.  See this article for more troubleshooting solutions.

  • I tried to update my ipod software and it says  the software for my ipod has been corrupted during download, what do i do? ive tried to download it several times again but that always pops up.

    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.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

  • HELP my Ipod keeps on saying it's corrupt and wont restore

    My Ipod won't restore by pressing both the middle button and the menu button. It say's it's corrupt. I think it might of died because i've had it for one year and a couple of months. If it has, what can I do with it?

    "My Ipod won't restore by pressing both the middle button and the menu button"
    That's not how you restore an iPod, that's the procedure for resetting. Have a look at this page for instructions on restoring: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • No matter what I do I cannot restore ipod classic. Ipod is corrupt with unknown error 1439.cannot restore the ipod Have tried all options but . can anyone help?

    I recently bought a second-hand ipod classic.  When connecting to itunes the message reads that the ipod is corrupt and needs to be restored to factory settings.  However, this does not solve the issue and I get the message saying unable to restore, unknown error 1439.  No matter what i have tried through apple support i get the same result.  My computer runs Windows XP but I have also tried on my laptop which operates Vista and still no joy.  Anyone able to solve this one?

    Normally unknown error is due to timeout, cause by
    connected to slow USB port at the front of the PC, or using USB Hubs - Better connect to the USB HUb at the back of the PC. (Some Laptop, has only one High Power -USB2.0 port
    USB resource low, due to sharing of other USB devices - Disconnect all other USB devices when Restoring.
    Winsocks conflict with iTunes - Disconnect Internet and Stop firewall and Antivirus, emails apps.

  • ITunesSetup says some install files are corrupt, iPod wont be read by pc..

    My ipod and itune were working fine earlier today and before, but whenever i try to update to the latest verion the install says some install files are corrupt, and now my itunes suddenly no longer reads my ipod... This is like the 20th time this ipod not being read by pc problem has occurred and it's really making me never trust apple with pcs again.

    2. "I ran the system rescue cd and fsck'ed both partitions" -> Did you get any direct filesystem error message from the system?
    3. What happens if you try to delete the corrupted files and restart ? Does it become corrupted too every time?
    4."X sometimes won't start, I get a black screen and I need to power down by holding the power button." -> Which driver/kernel/xorg version do you use ? I've experienced such a situation with the nvidia-185.18.31 driver.
    Thank you for your quick response.
    1. Is it safe to delete the corrupted files in /var/log? I already deleted viminfo after it got corrupted the first time, but it happened again.
    2. In the rescue cd, fsck quickly said "it's ok" without checking. Is there a way to force it to check? The man page doesn't say. The longer check I get sometimes when booting ("hasn't been checked in the last X mounts yadda yadda") shows only "fixed write time in the future" from time to time.
    3. The Xorg.0.log particularly gets corrupted after the hard restart that I issue when X fails to start and a black screen locks up the pc.
    4. xf86-video-ati is 6.12.2-2, kernel26 is 2.6.30.4-1. xorg-server: 1.6.3-2. The black screen issue will be (I hope) solved in the other thread I made (link in first post), but I have the suspicion that both problems are very closely related (one is the cause for the other, or some sort of vicious circle.)
