Hi deathhammy520, I believed you're using a 4th generation ipod. Try downloading itunes ver. 4.6 it's available here at oldapps.

There are different ways on how to fix a corrupted ipod.

Restore mode - Try holding the Menu + the center button until the logo appears. Then switch by holding Center + Play buttons
until it displays "Ok to connect". Try formatting it or restore to default settings.
