Programs recognizing, But saying ipod is corrupt.

I have the 4g Ipod Touch. Ive had it about 2 weeks now, And when I connect it to my computer now Itunes detects it but said it was corrupted and is now asking me to restore or set up a new ipod. And also my music rescue program is saying the Ipod is corrupt so I cant get all my music off of it. Does anyone know what could have caused this. And how to solve it without losing all my music?

Yes. Just sign in using the same email address as before.
1. Make sure you are signed in with the same account used for the original purchase.
2. Locate the app in the App Store and click the BUY APP button.
3. You will see a dialog similar to the one below. Click the Buy button.

4. You will then see a dialog similar to one below. Click OK to continue with the download.

But you can't do that with music, only apps.
Hope that answers your question.

  • Even after restore, it says iPod is corrupted

    First, I tried to listen to my iPod today and all of the songs were just gone. I listened to it last night and it was fine, I didn't even update it, but this morning all of the songs are gone. So, I tried to sync it but it says my iPod is corrupted and I need to restore. After going through the whole process restoring, I see the progress bar on the iPod and it completes. The computer says it'll show up in the sources list in a second, and it acts like it's fine. However, after a few minutes when it does connect, I still get the error message I originally get when I plugged the iPod in, saying the iPod is corrupted and needs to be restored. I've had this iPod since it first came out and I don't know how I could live without it, especially since I'm going on a long trip tomorrow...bad timing. Is my iPod dead?

    Does it play any of the songs you have in it? Formatting may be the solution. It happened to me before and it even showed me the sad iPod icon, but it worked again after I formated and restored.
    Good luck

  • ITUNES SAYS IPOD IS CORRUPT?!?!

    well hello there. ill start from the beginning...
    i own an ipod video....
    when i plug my ipod into my computer, this window appears in the upper left hand corner that says "autoplay" with a flashlight that is searching and a progress bar at the bottom. i dont know what this does, or if it the result of anything. so then i proceed to wait for my ipod to be recognized by itunes.
    as soon as my ipod is recognized a window pops up telling me my ipod is corrupt and that i will need to restore my ipod. it also tells me that i will lose everything off of my ipod upon restoration.
    so i did exactly that. all my files were lost and the restore process worked perfectly. i thought i was in the clear until as soon as the restore finished and itunes recognized my ipod again. the same "corrupt" message popped up again. my ipod was rendered useless because i could not sync it with itunes and all my songs and movies were deleted.
    ...its now two weeks later....
    i have tried restoring many times. i have reset my ipod many times. i have reinstalled itunes twice and i have restarted my computer many times. i have also gotten very annoyed.
    so this is where you come in to save the day. i have no clue what to do. a possible reason is that my computer has a virus and has been acting wierd. i cant think of anything else to do.
    anything to help...any piece of advice...would be greatly appreciated.

    P.S. if this has been asked before, don't yell, just show me the way.

    Well you think you got problems?
    I own the second gen iPod before the clickweel even ccame out. Mine always says corrupt, all i did was run a virus scan through my iPod, there was a virus i accidentally dowloaded. try that, then take your iPod to where you got it from, or call apple. Emailing them stinks, all i get back is a form letter telling me something totally unrelated. My batterry meter is messed up and shuts dows when it reaxhes full power. So i learned one thing. I smacked my iPod real hard in the back and the the batterry came ack to lfe, weird huh?

  • Everytime I connect...says Ipod is corrupt

    Everytime I connect my 2nd gen Ipod shuffle it says it is corrupted and needs to be restored. I restore.....add songs to playlist.....works fine.....but once I unplug and plug it back in I get the same corrupt thing all over again and have to restore and do the same thing all over again????
    Is anybody else having this problem? I have installed Itunes and uninstalled....am using the latest 7.4 version. I am stuck and completely frustrated and afraid to plug it in the dock.
    HELPP!!!!!

    Change the drive letter on your Shuffle, use something like M or P or Z. To do so, connect ONLY your iPod (to a rear port), keyboard and mouse to the USB chain, disconnect from any network you might be on, and follow this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499

  • Itunes saying ipod is corrupted

    I just downloaded the latest version of itunes, and it tells me my ipod is corrupted, message 1418. It would not let me restore my ipod, showing me yet another error message. I can't figure out what is wrong. I restored my ipod at a friends house, but it's still showing the same problem on my computer. I have no idea what to do! someone please help! Everything worked fine till this version of itunes came out!

    Some people have had success trying the fix mentioned here.
    Error 1418.
    "showing me yet another error message."
    You must be more specific about which error message. There are so many.

  • Hi, my ipod does not have software update and on itunes it says chack for update but says ipod is up to date

    Hi my ipod does not have software update on settings and on itunes it is up to date please give solutions

    Thanks. I have been looking for this information for hours too. You answered my question in your list. I have a 2nd generation iPod Touch and last updated to iOS 4.2.1. Now many of the games are obsolete after being updated. I wish I hadn't updated them now, and I would still have play available. It's sad in this economy that I'll have to purchase a new iPod touch just to play a few simple games. I haven't even had it three years yet. That's what I get for not waiting a few months for the next generation. That's a nice little marketing tactic from Apple .

  • 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.

  • When connecting my ipod nano (5 gen) I get an error messege saying that it was recognized but not properly. Ive tried everything the support site says and it still not working. What do I do now?

    When connecting my ipod nano (5th gen) I get an error messege saying that it was recognized but not propperly. I treid everything that the support site said to do but it still not working. What do I do no?

    This came from another thread, but worked for me.  Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62.  Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update).  Reboot, and reinstall iTunes.  It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano.  Good luck.

  • My 40gb can be played but Itunes says it is corrupt.  I want to get the music off the Ipod onto my new computer, old computer died which had all the data on it (crap on my behalf I know)  Anyone know how to do this?

    My hard drive is corrupt even though I can listen to the music on the Ipod.  Itunes says it is corrupt so obviously cannot read it properly.  You can hear the disk reader resetting every few seconds preventing the data recovery.
    We can see the track listings and playlists which we used for our wedding in 2005 and desperately want them back.
    Sadly we lost the hard drive that had Itunes on it with all our music which we dont have a back up of.
    Is there anyway it can be repaired and then we get the music off the Ipod and get it back on a new pc....and back it up of course?!!!

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

  • ITunes says my iPod is corrupted and needs to be restored..

    Ok, when I started up my computer today and opened iTunes to listen to my songs, it gives me an error message that my iPod is corrupted and needs to be restored before I can use it again. I've tried using different programs to back up my songs on my iPod to my computer but it's not working because my computer is also saying that disk J: (the usb port my iPod uses) needs to be reformatted, so I can't do anything with it out of iTunes..
    What it's looking like is that I'm going to lose ALL the songs on my iPod (around $600 worth) and I'm not going to get anything back..
    So what do I do to fix this problem without losing all of the songs I've bought?

    Hello CoulntThinkOfAUser,
    If you purchased the songs from the itunes store you wouldn't really loose anything. This is how to recover all of your previous purchases.
    How to download past purchases.
    Hope this helps.
