Apr 7, 2010 10:02 AMby Cogs_ranch,Sorted. Ok - so iTunes 9.0.3 destroyed my 160 gB iPod classic - disk corrupt, iPod not recognised, computer locks every time I try to sync - disk space seems to have disappeared, etc. I spent hours trying fixes, doing what apple says, etc but none of them worked (it would claim it was resetting but would then just crash).
I have now fixed it (no help from Apple) by taking a different laptop (which hasn't previously had iTunes installed), going to a website which allows downloading of old versions of iTunes (google oldapps) - downloaded the last version of iTunes 8 and then synced. IPod classic reset, no problems at all, works perfectly.
Most importantly, it fixes my problem. Nearly as importantly, it proves to me beyond doubt that the problem is iTunes 9 - NOT my hard drive, old iPod, etc. Now all I have to remember is to never take the upgrades for iTunes on that laptop. -
Apr 8, 2010 5:14 AMby calico1,Cogs_ranch, just out of curiosity, were you able to retain your whole library after synching to the older version of Itunes? I'm thinking about doing what you've mentioned but am afraid I'm going to lose about half of my library as one half of it is imported music as opposed to Itunes purchases. -
Apr 12, 2010 6:28 PMby 57 CHEVY,Ok i have 160gb Ipod classic with corrupt message 1430, I have had it sitting around for the last 3 months doing nothing tried to restore but getting the same message, tried other computers as well but they all have ITUNES 9 corrupt disk message 1430 it says.THANKS to those ALL who suggested restoring on ITunes 8 it has worked,I had to put my Ipod in disk mode for the laptop with Itunes 8 to read my Ipod i then left it on there to charge when it was charged i restored it and it worked straight away, when other times it said corrupt disk 1430 the JOY JOY JOY I had was AWESOME,DO NOT throw it away its not stuffed keep trying ITUNES 8,THANK YOU for your comments it helped me.ITUNES 9 is no good on classic Ipods. -
Apr 14, 2010 1:01 PMby weeding68,I lodged a complaint with BBC Watchdog (an English consumer affairs programme on the TV) before Christmas alerting them to the problems we are all experiencing and the lack of support from Apple. I received a call from them today, they are going to take it further - watch this space! -
Apr 14, 2010 1:08 PMby Hollie Finch,Dear Ipod users
As with weeding68, I too received a call from BBC Watchdog and I am delighted to announce that they are pursuing with this case. To all UK victims, watch Watchdog (7:00pm Thursday) when they will be discussing issues to come in forthcoming programmes.
Best of luck!

Apr 14, 2010 3:10 PMby weeding68,My ipod classic is still visable via windows explorer on my PC, I can even manually load all of my itunes library onto my ipod using windows explorer, although my ipod won't recognise it's got music loaded! If I then plug my ipod into my laptop and open up windows explorer it too recognises my ipod and the music loaded onto it. If I click onto one of the songs, the itunes programme automatcally loads up and starts playing the song, although itunes won't actually recognise my ipod. How frustrating!!!!! -
Apr 17, 2010 2:48 AMby Hollie Finch,The programme actually begins next week, but Lara at Watchdog informed me that it will be in a later programme. She said to watch the shows for news on upcoming issues in the programme. With any luck, Mitch Benn might write a song about it.
He writes songs about the companies Watchdog deals with:

I agree totally, Apple's software did cause the damage, and they don't seem to care, and my ipod is now useless, but it does however, make a very good paperweight.
Lol

Apr 17, 2010 5:02 AMby lwalker777,In case anyone is counting... I'm adding my name to the list of disgruntled users whose ipods won't synch after the itunes 9 upgrade. Not sure what to do... buy a new ipod??? What's to say this won't happen with a new ipod and the next vesion of itunes. I am going to explore programs to convert itunes to another format to download into another mp3 player. If anyone finds a good program, please post here. Since Apple doesn't seem motivated to fix this problem, I am going to vote with my pocketbook. -
Apr 17, 2010 5:07 AMby Hollie Finch,Hi Iwalker77
My advice:
Buy another mp3 player. This worked for me as the company which made my mp3 have a genius piece of software called 'Content Transfer' enabling you to transfer your whole library onto another mp3 without reloading all your songs!!!
Just search 'Content Transfer' on Google. That should help.
Alternatively, send me your email address and I'll give you detailed instructions on what to do.

Apr 17, 2010 6:18 PMby tked,same thing here as everyone else....its corrupted but i cant even put it into disk mode...its only a year and 3 mos old and it was just fine before the new version of itunes...like i said i cant even put it into disk mode so itunes and my comp dont even recognize it to begin to restore...there are tons of us with the same story..doesnt apple have to fix this and reimburse/fix our ipods? they dont come cheap...! someone call one of those iteam news people so they do a report -
Apr 17, 2010 11:22 PMby calico1,Finally, finally, finally!!!! After a few weeks of screwing with this thing I finally got my songs (only 1319) to sync over to my 120gb classic. Don't ask me what process I followed specifically because I couldn't tell you. What I can tell you is that I formatted, restored, tried to sync, reformatted, re-restored and re-synced again and again and again over the course of those few weeks. After attempting again yesterday and receiving a number of continuous error messages, I finally walked into the room and expected to again find the error message saying that the disk couldn't be copied, it indicated that syncing had completed. I ejected the Ipod and, after checking, found that the Ipod contained all of my music and it played. Now the 50 million dollar question: do I ever attempt to sync my Ipod again and run the risk of screwing it up another time?
