Trying to restore 80GB iPod Classic back to the factory settings.

I am using Windows Vista Home Premium, and need to restore 80GB iPod Classic back to the factory settings, due to it being corrupt and the device doesn’t show up in iTunes 10 or on my computer. I've done the 5 R's twice and I am still seeing a box pop up on my computer when I connect the device that says:
“Do you want to scan and fix (F)?”
It gives me the following two options:
1.  Scan and Fix (recommended)
2. Continue without Scanning,
Option #1 says, “Unable to perform the scan because Windows cannot access the disk.
Option #2 does nothing.
When starting my computer with the device connected a black screen says:
Checking File System on F:
The type of file system is FAT32.
One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue.
          Windows will now check the disk.
                         Volume serial number is 3141-****
          Windows is verifying files and folders . . .
                         Folder  \iPod_controls is entirely unreadable.
            Folder entry removed.
                         Folder  \calendars is entirely unreadable.
                                        Folder entry removed.
                         Folder  \contacts is entirely unreadable.
                                        Folder entry removed.
                         Folder  \notes is entirely unreadable.
                                        Folder entry removed.
File and folder verification is complete.
Convert lost chains to files (Y/N)? Yes
I’ve tried both options numerous times and nothing works. This is about to drive me to either drinking or wearing one of those stylish white I Love Me Jackets.
HELP ME . . . PLEASE

I've used option #1 & #2. I've tried the press & hold menu & center buttons numerous times. The device does not show up in iTunes, It does show up in Windows Explorer as "Removable Disk (F), but when I try to open it, a box pops up that says, "Please insert a disk into Removable Disk (F).
When the device is connected to my computer via USB Port, the device screen has an Orange Circle with two rotating Arrows in the centern& says, "Connected", Eject Before Disconnecting
I don't know anyone who has a Mac.

    How do i restore my wifi setting back to the factory settings? I have changed it somehow :/ and now my wifi will not connect. My Airport is on and showing full strength but will not connect.

    Ok, if other devices are connecting but just not your MacBook then let's start troubleshooting the MacBook to possibly find out why.
    Please try each of the following, in order, until hopefully resolved:
    Note the following are excerpts from an OS X Daily article.
    * Turn Airport on & off – You can do this via the Airport menu bar or from the Network Preferences. This is the first thing you should try when troubleshooting Mac wireless problems.
    * Make sure Wireless/Airport card software & firmware is up to date – This is usually done just by going to the Software Update menu, if there are any updates available for your Mac or Airport, install them.
    * Delete and recreate connection – Try deleting and recreating/reestablishing the wireless connection, sometimes a setting can be corrupted and this may fix it.
    * Create a new Network Location – Similar to the above suggestion, try creating a new and different wireless network location to see if it resolves the connection problems.
    * Change DHCP auto settings to manual – sometimes there is a problem with the DHCP server, and if you manually set an IP address on the network you can be fine. Remember to set the IP to a high number so it wouldn’t interfere with other DHCP machines. As long as you have the subnet mask, router, and DNS settings configured manually as well, this shouldn’t be a problem.
    * Flush the DNS cache – Launch the Terminal and enter the following command onto one full line within the Terminal: dscacheutil -flushcache
    * Zap the PRAM – Reboot your Mac and hold Command+Option+P+R during restart until you hear another chime, let the Mac boot as usual.
    * Delete Wireless Config files – Delete com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist and com.apple.internetconfig.plist files from ~/Library/Preferences and reboot
    * Trash your home directories SystemConfiguration – Remove all files within ~/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ and then reboot your Mac.
    * Reset your Mac’s System Management Controller (SMC) – For MacBook and MacBook Pro’s: Shutdown the MacBook/Pro, remove the battery, disconnect the power, hold the Power Key for 15 seconds. Replace the battery, reconnect power, and zap the PRAM and wait for 2 chimes before letting the keys go. Let boot as usual.

  • Restore macbook pro back to the factory settings, Snow Leopard, then back to Mavericks

    If I restore my macbook pro back to the factory settings with the OS X install disc, it came with Snow Leopard.  Would I have to pay to go back to Mavericks OS?

    If you have Mavericks now, why not just boot into the Recovery partition, erase the disk with Disk Utility, and reinstall Mavericks? Command and R at boot should get you to the Recovery partition.

    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

  • This morning i tried to restore my ipod and it said:"the ipod "ipod cannot be restored at this time because the ipod software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavalible." i have no idea what to do and i need help

    this morning i tried to restore my ipod and it said:"the ipod "ipod cannot be restored at this time because the ipod software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavalible." i have no idea what to do and i need help.

    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

  • Im going to restore my ipod touch(4th gen) to factory settings. my question is, how do i back up all notes from the app "notes" so they can be reinstalled? or is it allready backed up as per the main "back-up" ?

    im going to restore my ipod touch(4th gen) to factory settings. my question is, how do i back up all notes from the app "notes" so they can be reinstalled? or is it allready backed up as per the main "back-up" ? I know its a simple question, but i dont know the answer. please help.

    The iPod backup that iTunes makes includes Notes.and other app data. However, it does not included synced media like apps and music.
    Thus, just restore from backup with all your synced media in your iTunes library.

  • I forgot the passcode to turn off restrictions. I have restored my iPad back to the factory settings and then synced it with the latest backup. The restrictions are still on and it is asking for the passcode. Can someone tell me how to get that off.

    I forgot the passcode to turn off restrictions. I have restored my iPad back to the factory settings and then synced it with the latest backup. The restrictions are still on and it is asking for the passcode. Can someone tell me how to get that off.

    The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings.  Hope you have a backup.
    Follow the instructions in  iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
    Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

  • TS1372 I'm trying to restore my iPod Classic but it doesn't - some error # 1433

    Hello there!
    I'm trying to restore my iPod for several days now, but it dosn't restore. A message stating that the iPod was corrupted appears every time I'm able to connect to iTunes (thats another problem; is not recognizing such devices on iTunes and unable the program to function well or work at all) and once "restore" and able to choose music, movies, and everything else, suddenly there is nothing and remains on the restore condition. Can someone help? Another message while restoring saids that there is an error 1433. Does anyone knows about this error?
    Thanks a lot!

    The Restore fails due to a timeout, most likely a hardisk problem
    Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
    Have a nice day!
