Arg:  Can't restore shuffle "unknown Error 1418"

Can't drag purchased music to iTunes. Troubleshooting says restore shuffle to default, but can't.
Already authorized, de-authorized, removed CS folder, etc. iTunes is wedged!

  • HT201263 What does can not restore iphone unknown error occured (3005) mean? is it dead?

    I have an Iphone 3.  Yesterday it was working fine then Itunes said it had an update.  The update was unsucsessful and it said the phone needed to be restored.  I went through the restore steps and recieved an error.  Any suggestions?

  • IPOD is corrupt restore / reconnect, cannot be restored. Unknown Error 1418

    I am a new IPOD user as of Valentine's day when my wife bought me this new gadget. I purchased and downloaded a book from the internet the first time and things worked fine. Today I spent hours trying to reconnect and download some additional books and music. I got the error message above and tried the common fixes.. using a different port, rebooting the Computer, using the Hold Button on and off, etc. Nothing seems to help. This unit is less than a month old... Maybe it is me since this unit is less than 1 month old? Please help.

  • Unknown Error 1418 when restoring ipod

    I hope someone can help me fix my Ipod problem. I have the first edition of the U2 Ipod and when I was in Ireland it malfunctioned. I took it to an Apple Store today and they restored it to factory setting using a mac. Well I brought it home, I did what the man at the store said to do and downloaded 7.0 and then when prompted tried to restore the Ipod using Windows. When I did the message "Could not restore ipod, unknown error (1418)" appeared. Does anyone know what this means and what my next step should be?
    I am so close to being able to have my Ipod fixed and put my music back into it but I cannot get past this stupid error message. Does anyone know whether he screwed up my Ipod by formatting it using a Mac or what I should do next? The man said my Ipod was corrupted by something, could this be the problem? This is so frustrating because I am so close to having my Ipod back to normal and now don't know what to do. Thanks,would appreciate any help anyone can offer!!

    Instructions to get the phone back working temporary.. till there is a real fix.
    1. turn off the phone
    2. fire up iTunes
    3. press and hold the home button, plug in the cable, hold till you get to see the recovery mode
    4. iTunes will the allow to choose restore the phone back to 5.0.1 ( no other choice)
    5. iTunes will then ask you to choose which previous backup to would like to recover.
    (note: please do not reboot your phone unless necessary, i realize at times after reboot, it goes back to sq1)

    This error normally appears if you attempted to downgrade or modify your iOS. See here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1015

  • HT1414 the iphone "i phone" could not be restored the unknown error occurd (1015) then what can i do pleas tell me the solution

    the iphone "i phone" could not be restored the unknown error occurd (1015) then what can i do pleas tell me the solution

    Error 1015 is typically related to downgrading software.
    Is your iPhone jailbroken or hacked?  If so, it's likely "bricked".
    If not, the highest iOS the iPhone can use is version 4.2.1.

  • HELP!!!!  ipod unknown error 1418

    Hi if any one could help me asap i would be very grateful… the problem is:
    i have a ipod photo 20gb, i try to restore it from itunes 7 and half way of restore it show me this message "unknown error 1418".
    After that i try to reset my ipod, it restart, show a apple logo than displays a folder icon with an exclamation point, and it keep repeat this process and i cant even shut it down.

    One more voice! I did the whole uninstall thing with iTunes 7 and carefully removed every last vestige of Apple crap. When I reinstalled it, the restore progress bar took a lot longer to fail (like 5 min. compared to 15 sec. prior) but still snubbed the 1418 error at me.
    Since this is an HP shuffle, Apple won't even give me the time of day, even though it is a shuffle, just like any other, but it has an HP graphic on the back. The HP support people (in Bangalore?) so far have not been much help. Oh, the Apple technical arrogance....

  • I have an apple 3g, tried to update it to 4.2, but it wasnt successful, then they asked me to restore it .. to which im getting an error message of "the iphone could not be restored an unknown error has occured (error 1015), any solutions?

    i have an apple 3g, tried to upgrade it to a 4.2 version, (previously it was 4.1). it wasnt successful, the computer asked us to restore it to the version which was last operational, and while restoring an error message appeared "the iphone could not be restored, an unknown error occured

    "This error is caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple."

    Plug your iPhone into iTunes and update it to the latest supported version, which is 4.2.1.

    Mt computer has been freezing up on me lately and I think it messed up my Ipod when it quit right in the middle of downloading and got shut off.

    That's because you jailbroke your phone. You can't get help here.

  • "the iphone could not be restored an unknown error occurred (2)"

    Yesterday I connected my iPhone 4 to my Windows 7 laptop, and went through to install the latest security update for iPhone through iTunes. When it was installing the software update, the phone froaze, and then this happened:"the iphone could not be restored an unknown error occurred (2)"
    Now, I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Bonjour and iTunes, to no avail. I have done the iPhone reboot method, and the phone will be identified as "iPhone" but not recognised as mine. iTunes states this phone is in recovery mode and I have tried numerous times to restore it.
    Windows doesn't detect the phone while this is happening. It will not restore and the error is still popping up. I have followed as many threads to rectify this but nothing seems to be working.
    I can resore it on my iMac but the reset date for the iPhone on this computer is six months old.
    Any suggestions?

    When you say you uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, did you follow the directions in this Apple support document exactly? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    That will make a difference on Windows computers. After that, try and reconnect and restore.

    My iPhone 3GS 16gb, is stuck in restore mode, downloaded and tried to do a restore multiple times. Keep getting an error The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. Unknown error occured (-1). Cannot get it out of restore mode, keeps rebooting!
    I have tried to hold the "home" and "power" button to reboot
    I have tried powering it off
    I have tried, to unplug the cable, hold the "home" button and then plug it in.
    Can't check the SN or warranty, cause it is stuck in restore mode.
    Is the hard drive gone? Should there be something replaced.

    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Usually this is caused by your antivirus or firewall blocking iTunes access to the Internet. It can also occur if the phone is jailbroken or if the computer you are using was ever used to jailbreak an iDevice.

    If you want to solve your problems, unjailbreak. And don't do it again, because jailbreaking causes problems as you read about in that article. You can try Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
