Why is iTunes saying my iPod is corrupted and how do I fix it?

I got a new computer for work, downloaded iTunes and connected my iPod classic (20GB). I added a few songs to my library before I connected the iPod. Once connected, my iPod appeared but after trying to transfer music an error occured. iTunes stated my iPod was corrupted and it asked if I wanted to reset it, which would wipe my iPod clean.
I checked my Ipod's functionality and it was working fine. I tried connecting it to a couple other computers I use and it still worked fine. In the meantime, I uninstalled all of the iTunes programs and reinstalled everything. I connected the iPod again and the same problem occured.
I do not think I transferred any corrupted songs onto my iPod; it has been working fine. I really do not want to erase my iPod and start from scratch unless that is the only solution. I am just not sure why my iPod is not working with this specific computer...it is brand new! When I connect the iPod now, it appears sometimes but it always ends the same. The computer also asks if I want to scan the E drive (the drive the iPod is connected to).
Thoughts?

+The computer also asks if I want to scan the E drive (the drive the iPod is connected to).+
That it almost surely due to some security software/antivirus stuff that was installed by corporate.
Ask your IT folks about getting itunes running on this PC and make sure it's allowed by your company.

  • 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.

  • I was having issues with my 80G Video iPod and had to restore it, but now it seems all of my music on it previously is "corrupt" . How did all my songs get corrupted and how do I fix them?

    I was having issues with syncing my 80G video iPod, so I restored it, and now all my songs in my library are "corrupted" and I can't get them back on my iPod. I keep getting error(-69). How did my songs all get corrupted, and how do I fix this without having to purchase these songs all over again?

    Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time; you can see what content you can download here:

    You can also re-download content using an iOS device.

    This if course will not apply to songs you did not buy through the iTunes Store.

  • My ipod wont start and itunes wont recodnize it, what happened and how do i fix it?

    I recently went to: settings, general, reset, and erase all data and settings, now my ipod wont start and itunes wont recodnize it, what happened and how do i fix it?

    - After being connected to a charging source for half an hour, reset the iPod and then connect to your computer and it if appears in iTunes restore the iPod via iTunes.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next see if recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:

  • Itunes say my Ipod is corrupt

    Itunes is saying my Ipod is corrupt when I plug it in. It says I should restore it but every time I try to it doesn't allow me to. I unplugged it to look at my song, and there is none, no music, videos or pictures. What do I do?

    Hi gawc'n (and greg so cal),
    Try this (in the first step, disconnect your iPod before proceeding):
    1. Force your iPod into disk mode, following the instructions found in this article.
    2. With your iPod in disk mode, now connect it to your computer.
    3. If iTunes still shows the "Corrupt" error message, then let's proceed onto running a disk error check on your iPod. For information on "chkdsk" (what it is typically called here), see this MS document:
    How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    4. After that is complete, it would be best to restore your iPod in iTunes again.

  • Every time I try to download Firefox, I get an error message tha says the file is corrupt. How do I fix it?

    The file will download approximately 40% and then I get an error message that says the file is corrupt and the download window closes automatically. In addition, I have had this trouble with two separate computers using two different operating systems.

    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the <u>Desktop</u>.
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • ITunes says my iPod is corrupt

    iTunes (7.02) says my iPod (nano) is corrupt and must be restored. I accepted this at face value and followed the instructions to initialize and reset my iPod and nothing got better.
    So, I tried my wife's shuffle and iTunes is saying it's corrupt also.
    I've tried 3 different USB ports to eliminate that as the problem.
    Help please.

  • Itunes says my ipod is corrupted

    I updated to the latest itunes and now it tells me that my ipod is corrupted. Tried  restoring it but without success.

    Hi calicerebro,
    If iTunes on your computer is reporting corruption in your iPod nano, you may need to restore the iPod to factory settings. Use the steps in this article -

  • Evertime I try to download firefox it says the file is corrupt. How do I fix this?

    I cannot download firefox. Everytime it finishes downloading, it says the file is corrupt.

    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
    You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
    Do not forget to re-enable the scanning in your anti-virus software after you are finished with downloading and installing.

  • Why does itunes say my ipod is using less space than what is being used.

    When my ipod is plugged in my pc while running itunes, I click the ipod icon in the source menu. Near the bottom of the itunes window it says how much free space and used space there is availiable on the ipod. Well, mine reads that I have 24.70 gigs free space but the used space is only 3.12 gigs and there is a little lock near where it say's free space. I dunno why it say's that or how to change it. Please help.

    If talking about 30 GB
    Advertised GBs are calculated as 100010001000
    A computer counts a GB as 102410241024 instead
    There is also space used by iPod itself (file system etc.)
