Error 1417 and 1418

I just updated my iTunes to 7.0, and now i cannot update nor restore my iPod, it says there is an error. When I update the iPod software it says error 1417, restore with error 1418. Can someone please help me out?
It would be greatly appreciated

I just figured this out. It happened to me and I went crazy. What I did is I used the iPOd restore software on my wife's mac which still had iTunes 6 installed. Once the restorer finished it told me to plug the iPOd into a power adapter as the USB 2 connection does not work like the firewire connection use to ( I DO NOT KNOW WHY THEY DID NOT KEEP THE FIREWIRE - MAKES IT EASIER). ANyway, once it restored itself which it looked like it went thru the process a couple of times, the ipod was like new again. This was a 4th gen click wheel 20 gb model.
Hope this helps,
JC

  • Unknown error 1417 and 1418?

    Help! I've installed an iPOD nano, previously used an iPod mini. It recognises the nano but can't download any msuic. Reinstal and Restore failed with unknown error 1417 and 1418. I've uninstalled old iTunes and iPod software and downloaded the latest iTunes and it still doesn't work -also noticed that the old name for the iPOD mini has been tranferred to the iPod nano but can't delete this - any ideas?

    Thanks Kyle, you solved it - the Ipod was connected to a powered 4 way USB2 adaptor - when I connected it direct to a USB2 port in my desktop it worked OK. For all other 1417 sufferers: get rid of your USB adaptors, iPods obviously can't cope with sharing a port!
    In answer to your question about the iPod mini it had one of those hard disk failures which shows a sad face - very sad when the repair bill is a standard 75GBP - over 100US$. Only 18 months old.

    Hi Benwal, and Welcome to Discussions!
    First, as it may help troubleshoot, what happened to
    your iPod mini, or why was it replaced?
    Here is an Apple Support link that might help you
    out. Error 1415, 1417, 1418, or 1428 when restoring
    or updating an iPod in iTunes 7 or later

    Some people have had success trying the fix mentioned here.
    Error 1417/1418.
    Could you also take some time to pass some information for the Apple Engineers?  Please copy and paste these questions into an email, make the subject of the email "iPod error report", add your answers, and send the email to Roy at Apple.
    1. What error code are you seeing?
    2. When are you seeing it (restoring or updating your iPod)?
    3. Which iPod do you have?
    4. What version of Windows do you have?
    5. What Windows service pack do you have installed?

  • Can't update ipod nano: errors 1417 and 1428

    I bought my 4gb iPOD nano a month or so ago and initially it worked perfectly. For the last week when I plug it in to my PC iTunes detects it and lists what's on it but won't update it or write to it in any way: it variously gives me error numbers 1417 and 1428. Bizzarely I can copy files onto it absolutely fine through Windows. I can't even restore it to factory settings since I can't write anything to it! Help!
    Thanks very much

  • Ipodmini--error 1417/1418 and no music

    when i plug in my ipod it connects, but when i try and update it says error 1417 - if i try and restore it says 1418, SO CONFUSED! also, when i try to play music after its unhooked, it just skips thru each song per second going from one to the other. SOMEONE HELP PLZ

    The program opens but will play no music. Error message reads: Itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/video playback may not operate properly
    that one is usually produced by a problem with your QuickTime. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
    so let's try swapping out your QuickTime.
    head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    7. Restart your computer.
    next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch/play properly now?

  • Apple, please solve the -50 and 1418 error issue

    Dear Apple,
    I have read during hours this forum and also posting my own experiences. Does anyone have a solution to these -50 and 1418 errors? Apple has exchanged my 2G Shuffle twice already, but no solution. I strongly suspect it to be an iTunes software issue or incompatibility, since the Shuffle is being recognized perfectly under Windows XP explorer and I can copy and read any files from the computer to the shuffle and vice versa. But as soon as I start iTunes, the Shuffle disappears in the Windows explorer, is being recognized in iTunes but then it stops: error -50, "The disk cannot be written to or read from", error 1418 when trying to restore, no music synching and no restoring possible.
    HELP PLEASE

  • Fix for Error 1417 with new itunes 7

    This worked for me when I got that unknown error - 1417 (can't update ipod)
    Step 1: Disable all third party programs and services via MSCONFIG
    Article with step by step instructions found here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
    Step 2: Restart the computer
    Step 3: Uninstall quicktime through the control panel in add/remove programs
    Step 4: Uninstall itunes through the control panel in add/remove programs
    Step 5: Uninstall any/all ipod updaters or ipod for window software through the control panel in add/remove programs
    Step 6: Delete program file folders for itunes and quicktime:
    --On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    --In My Computer, open Local Disk. (C Drive)
    --Open Program Files.
    --Right-click on the iTunes folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    --Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    --Open the iPod folder.
    --Right-click on the bin folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu. Note: If you are unable to delete the \Program Files\iPod\bin folder, see the "iPodService.exe Alert" section below.
    --Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    --Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
    Step 7: Restart computer
    Step 8: Install STANDALONE version of quicktime at:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
    Note: if you get an error on this page about an error occuring, just refresh. It should load. Also, there are TWO download options... one with itunes 7 and one without. You want the one without itunes.
    Step 9: Restart computer
    Step 10: Install itunes 7:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
    Step 11: Restart computer
    Step 12: Run itunes. You should be able to update and sync your ipod after this and no longer get that pesky 1417 error.
    Also, after you have resolved the issue please see the bottom of the msconfig article for instructions on configuring windows to load your normal startup options again.

    It seems like almost everybody is having this exact same problem. I bought a Nano for my wife and a iPod Photo for myself. Syncing does not work on either one and from what I read on these boards it doesn't work for most customers. Apple really needs to fix this soon.

  • Unable to update to 1.1.1 do I need to? Unknown error (1417)

    iPod Classic 80GB. My software version is 1.0.2. Every time I plug my iPod in I am informaed that a newer version of the software (1.1.1) is available, but every time I try to update I am told that the message "could not be completed. An unknown error has occurred (1417). However, I want to know if updating really makes any difference to the way the iPod runs?
    I don't want to have to restore unless absolutely neccessary as it takes about a day and a half to resync all my music, which means leaving my computer (which is in my bedroom) on overnight.

    You should refer to the link first, since it directly deals with your problem (error 1417). You should try each procedure. You never know what might fix it.
    (ex. even though you think your USB drivers are up-to-date, you should double check and update them).
    If the procedure outlined in the link doesn't work, you could try my procedure.
    As for your question:
    If you have the "Manually Manage Music" ticked in itunes, those are your ipod's settings no matter where you plug your ipod in. If you wish to update using another computer, you could install itunes in another computer, since your ipod is set on Manually Manage Music, it won't sync the new library. A window will likely open asking that your ipod is synced to another library, would you like to sync to this library? Click CANCEL. Then update your ipod.
    Good Luck! And let us know how it went.

  • Heard of error 1417??

    cant update to 1.2 n i have 1.1.2. at the end of trying to update it says an unkown error 1417 occured. cant find any info at all on this error and besides these forums im not sure what other help i can get. i just downloaded itunes 7.

    I think something with the previous update was preventing itunes from updating to the 1.2 software for 5th gen ipod. What I did was insert the cd that i got with my ipod. Once in the drive the cds autorun preceded to delete the previous update(or you can probably do it manually). Then I updated in itunes and this time i didnt get error 1417. Either way it worked for me so it might work for you.

  • Itunes error 1417

  • I set up family sharing wrong, so i left family sharing and joined the right way agin but an error occurred and now it tells me I'll have to wait 364 days to rejoin again! How can I reset my account so I can use it again?

    WWhen I set up family sharing i did it with me as family organizer, but as my spouse is the organizer I had to leave the "family" I created and join his. But while setting it up an error occurred, and the screen went blank. Now I tried to join his family sharing again, and my phone keeps telling me I can't because accounts can only join families twice a year.
    I Don't really want to wait 364 days from now, is there a way in which I can reset my accoint so I can join family sharing again?
    Apple support doesn't have a solution for me yet!
    KInd regards

    This morning I looked at my family sharing account again an IT WORKS NOW! Think Apple has done a reset to my account, though I'm not exactly sure why! So I hope it works for you guys as well!

    You have a mixture of things going on... AS3 code in an AS2 setting.  Those are all AS2 error messages, and they are indicating you have placed the code on the buttons.  To use that code, it must be placed on the timeline, and your Flash Publish Settings need to have AS3 specified instead of AS2.  AS3 does not allow code to be placed on objects like AS2 does.
