Please help with corrupted iPod :(

Hello everyone,
I was listening to music using iTunes on my computer when I suddently got the blue screen of death.
I disconnected the iPod as I was restarting the computer.
Now my Ipod says it's EMPTY, no music or videos but still have my contacts.
When I plug into my computer to use iTunes, it says that I need to restore it.
When I browse through my iPod using windows explorer, I can see all of my music there.
Is there anything I can do without having to restore it?? I have over 90GBs of stuff and do not want to organize EVERYTHING again.
I know I could just copy the files from the iPod to the computer, but I'd really like to have everything organized like I did (playlists, playcount..etc..)

1) you could read the manual for solutions to reset it.
2) you could go to Apple/support and type in a search for information related to your problem
3) you could hardware reset the ipod
4) you could go to setting and reset all settings
at worst try something.

Please help with 20GB Ipod

i restored my ipod so all of my music was taken out but i still have everything in my itunes. when i plug my ipod in it will read my ipod for like a mintue and it says that it is updating my music and then after 30 seconds this pops up on my itunes "ipod cannont be updated. the required folder cannot be found." then itunes doesn't recognize my ipod anymore and my ipod dies. can someone please help i have done many things but nothing has worked.
please help!

The music that is in Itunes, where did you get it from. If you downloaded from somewhere and deleted the files, the names of the songs will stay on there, but the actual music has been erased. Check to see if the music is saved in a file on the computer. If the actual file to be copied is not saved somewhere on your computer, you will not be able to get these songs. Also, if your Ipod is dying, how good is your battery?

Please help with "corrupt" message when first plugging in iPod Video

When I first plug in my iPod video, iTunes launches fine, I see my device and all its contents fine, then receive a message "The iPod "JALF" cannot be updated. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable." It does not seem to affect any functionality, but I was curious what it meant. Thanks.

There's a very comprehensive post by forum member Da Gopha on the iTunes corrupt file message now in the user tips section that you may find useful: kipod: If Windows displays an iTunes.exe corrupt file/chkdsk message

Please help with my Ipod Touch problem!

My ipod touch will not leave restore mode(besides going into dfu mode), I tried everything I called apple and I went to the apple store. they said it would be $200 to replace and I dont feel like paying that. It turns on and everything but it will not leave that screen where it says connect to itunes. When I try to restore the ipod it goes all the way through but then it sayd "WAITING FOR IPOD". i left it on for 22 hours and it was still reading the same thing. It even happends when I enter DFU mode. I cannot use andthing els but itunes for some rease, I tried using Iphuc and stuff like that. I read all of apples troubleshooters.
dont tell me to reinstall itunes, how to put it in dfu mode or how to put it into recovery mode.. also I tried holding in shift and choosing a downloaded firmware. i have tried 3 firmwares but no luck..
or dont tell me to go to the apple store or call apple
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!!!!
Thanks

Ok, seeing you haven't done a jailbreak. This is close to DFU... but not. Hold "Hold/Power+Home" until you see something looking the same as when you first got it. It will show the cord and then the iTunes icon and it will say something like "Connect to iTunes" (I think this is where your stuck, but just in case). Then, unplug your iPod, It might work.

HT4113 can you please help with my ipod i fogot my passowrd and can unlook

i need help to open my ipod

Forgotten Screen-Lock Passcode
Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Please Help with Itunes/Ipod issue

So I got given an Ipod touch for my birthday and it says i need itunes to use it, so i try to go to apple site to download itunes and the site will not load. I tried both the UK and US sites. Infact I cannot get any page to load up other then the UK sites home page. So this is making it kinda difficult to get itunes and get my ipod working and its **** annoying as i am left with a present i cant use.
I know its not my PC at fault as i have tried other computers and the pages still dont load.
Does anyone know where i can download itunes from or even why the site has not been working for the last week?

yep just tried your link and the page just doesnt load, i have sat here for 5 minutes on the same page waiting for it to load and nothing.
It does the little swirly loading thing in the corner of the tab to say its loading the page but it doesnt actually get there and finish it.
I have tried 3 different browsers on 4 different computers and also asked a friend to try on theirs to see if they can get to it and they cant either, so it cant be the computer, something must be up with the site.

Please help with my ipod Touch

My Ipod touch is stuck on the "slide to unlock screen''.
It won't let me slide to unlock.
It slides about a quarter of the way and then stops.
I've tried restarting it, upgrading it, restoring it, and nothing happened.
I don't know what else to do.

They look inside and if a red light is lit, they know you've gotten it wet and it voids your warranty.
There are two sensors....one by the headphone jack and one inside the place you charge it. at the
bottom.
It may be some consolation that you can get your money back from Apple for the protection plan. (You can cancel for "any reason") and they pro-rate it...so you won't get it all, but you get some.

Andrew,
The iPod and iTunes are not compatible with Windows ME and the minimum requirements are Windows 2000 with SP4 or XP with SP2 (although I use several iPods and don't have SP2).
If you can't upgrade to one of these, then you can use the iPod with ME if you are prepared to fiddle around a little. However, you won't be able to use iTunes.
See this.
Guide to iPod and Windows ME
You can use iPods purchased in the USA here in the UK. Our family uses 3 such iPods.
You can also use the iPod on any number of computers as this document explains.
Using iPod with multiple computers
Whoever gave you you all this wrong info deserves to be shot!
Just one more thing Andrew. Please start your own topic in future instead of jumping in an interrupting someone else's with an unrelated query. It's know here as "threadjacking" and is against the discussions Terms of Use.
Good luck with ME!

What generation of iPod touch do you have? If you don't know, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353
If you have an first-generation iPod touch, it can only go to iOS 3.1.3 and hence will not run the Facebook app. If you have a second-generation iPod touch, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623

cont contact apple server error please help with ipad touch 4. im just fed up with apple please help me because why is it only apple with these kind of problems?

If you mean updae server
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Otherwise what server are you talking about

HT5824 I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off..

I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. I have no problem sending the text messages but I'm not receivng any from iPhones at all. It has been about a week now that I'm having this problem. I've already tried fixing it myself and I also went into the sprint store, they tried everything as well. My last option was to contact Apple directly. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off so that I can receive my texts.

If you registered your iPhone with Apple using a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it. Also, try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.
