20 GB iPod gets error 1429 when I try to restore.

I use iPod on two computers a mini Mac and PC laptop. I can't restore my iPod using either one. I keep getting the error message 1429. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

I struggled with this for several days. Followed all the instructions for the 5 R's on the apple support page - repeatedly - to no avail. Then I tried connecting my ipod (40g) to an old iBook running iTunes 7.1.1 and restored the ipod software. Now reconnected to my current MacBook Pro (running the iTunes 7.4) and latest iTunes now able to see and restore all my songs to the resurrected ipod. Only problem now is that with a functioning iPod, I have no excuse to rush out and get a new 'touch'.
Haven't checked whether older versions of iTunes are still available for download from Apple.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.

  • I get error 21 when I try to restore i tunes

    I am getting error 21 when I try to restore I tunes

    Basically that error occurs when itunes verifies the restore with apple and apple doesnt allow it so for that what u ll need to do is that
    If you use a mac
    Press Shift+command+g in finder
    type "/etc"
    find "hosts" and drag it to your desktop
    delete it from etc
    restore and once your idevice is restored put it back
    if you use a windows
    Press windows button+r
    type "system32"
    go to drivers > etc
    find hosts and drag it to your desktop
    delete it from etc
    restore your idevice and put it back
    Hope this helps

  • Help with lost pics and contacts in upgrading and get error message when I try to restore.

    I lost all pictures and contacts when I upgraded my iphone 4 (for the first time).  I did not download anything because I was using a friend's computer.  I read that apps not in itunes would be lost, but not pictures and I had 1500.  Every time I attempt to restore, I get error messages.  Please help!

    If you don't have a sim card in the phone, you won't be able to activate it. You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim itself need not be activated, but it must be valid & present.

  • I keep getting ERROR's when i try to restore ??? help!

    Whenever i try to restore i get error, and i keep getting them.
    i have the latest itunes.
    And my iphone is stuck in recovery mode, i cant use it
    please help.

    Use a smaller, more realistic font... the current posting comes across as screaming.
    Help yourself, google the EXACT error message or post it here.
    No one can offer help without specific details of the issue.... well beyond, throw the darn thing at a wall.  That would certainly eliminate the current problem.

    Look at this article, but agree with josh, always check your security software, and turn off your firewalls temporarily just in case.  Also make sure you are connecting to a good 2.0 USB port and not a hub.

  • Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?

    Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?

    If you delete songs (and other items) from the main iTunes library, yes, you need to empty the Trash because iTunes puts the song files into the Trash.  When deleting items from an iPod, the items are not being deleted from the main iTunes library, so nothing should end up in the Trash.
    Hopefully, you are not deleting items from your main iTunes library, just to sync those deletions from the iPod.  If you are, there is a better way.  You can post back if you want more info...
