ipod help

when i attach ipod to pc, then itunes a message appears saying itunes has detected that ipod is curruptedi have tried resetting and restoring all to no avail does this mean that ipod is beyond repair ? Any sugestions.

what kind of ipod is it.. usually if they are corrupted when you turn on the ipod, it will give you a picture of a sad ipod..

Its a 30gb. ipod classic. Problem started when i was deletings songs from ipod it suddenly went real slow stupidly, I disconnected the ipod whilst the "do not disconnect" was showing. Now ipod does not show up in itunes, or if it does iget message to reset then restore.This i do then get itunes has detected ipod is corrupted.ipod shows up on my laptop.When not connected to pc, ipod lights up and i get menu etc it actually starts up with the language selection. By the way its set to windows.Any ideas greatly apIpreciated.I dont get any sad faces on ipod.

have you tried reinstalling itunes?? itunes might "think" it is corrupted.. i think that if you install itunes over the top, it will keep your playlists etc..
