Cannot restore ipod shuffle original shows error 1418

I know this is an old shuffle. I was trying to let my grandkids use it. It will not restore or transfer music to it. I have since used a different computer from when I originallused it. Do I need separate software for this shuffle or what.

I had this error as well. I re-installed the updater to get it working again.

Cannot restore iPod shuffle after update

I have an iPod shuffle original model. For the past few years it has played music as background to my space. Today it went silent.
I plugged into my Powerbook and iTunes offered to update it which is probably the basis of the following problem.
Try and try but that same file from the iTunes library will no longer go into the iPod. I tested with a second one and got the same.
What is the problem? This is my own recording imported via Quicktime and plays on my photo iPod which I'm using instead; but it will not even copy to the iPod shuffle. But it was there for years!
This is galling.

I had this error as well. I re-installed the updater to get it working again.

I tried to restore my 120 gb iPod and got an error 1413 message - "cannot restore iPod". I started to reset turning the hold switch on and off and now my iPod seems to be permanently locked.

I tried to restore my 120 gb iPod and got an error 1413 message - "cannot restore iPod". I started to reset turning the hold switch on and off and now my iPod seems to be permanently locked. I had been having trouble syncing music, When I tried to sync, iTunes said it didn't recognize my iPod, even though I was on the iPod page in iTunes which showed the model number and the serial number of my iPod

I am having essentialy the same problem, but my iPod came from a PC and is now on a PC. The person who gave me the iPod didn't give me the wall adapter piece, so I bought a "Griffin" brand that was said to be compatible with this model. When I first plugged it into the wall, the Apple appeared with a bar underneath as though it was loading the new software. When the bar got to the end, the "plug into the wall" icon reappeared, but when I plug it in to the wall now, that icon is the only thing that shows, even after resetting and trying to run diagnostics.
When I doc the iPod on a charger I have or plug the USB into my computer and "reset" it, a battery with a charge icon appears, but there is no "motion" in the icon so it doesn't appear to be charging. The screen eventually goes back to the apple then to the "plug it into the wall" icon. HELP!!! Is is possible the wall adapters isn't the right one? Should I be charging through a firewire cable instead (which I also don't have...)?

TS1372 i cant restore an ipod classic it shows error 1436

i cant restore an ipod classic it shows error 1436

It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He always covers what the resulting numbers indicate, which may be slightly different since your model is a bit older.

TS1372 can't restore ipod shuffle error 1442

how xan i restart my ipod shuffle with unknown error occured 1442?

I FOUND OUT HOW TO FIX IT:
1) You need to make sure you back up your library so you can maintain your ID3 tags, ratings, and library settings. So follow the instructions located at: http://www.kadavy.net/blog/archive/2005/08/transferyouri.php
2) Uninstall iTunes completely
- After uninstalling, make sure that the following directories are erased:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\iTunes
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Application Data\Apple
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
C:\Program Files\iTunes
- this will ensure that all the previously installed versions of iPod firmware updates are erased.
3) One other thing that I did, which I don't know if it helped. Was cleared my registry from previous iTunes installations, by
a. clicking start....run
b. typing 'regedit'
c. searching for strings that had "iTunes" in them and removing the ones under the folder "SOFTWARE" and NOT ANY OTHERS.
~be advised that the registry is very crucial to Windows interface and I am not liable for any damage done due to ignorance or neglect during this step
4) Empty Recycling Bin to get rid of everything
5) Re-install the latest versions of iTunes available at www.apple.com
6) Click File-->Import and then selecting your exported Library File (XML)
this will re-import all your settings and album ratings and ID3 tags
7) THEN VAIOLA! This fixed my error -48

Cannot restore ipod and other issues.

If someone can solve my ipod issues, you will totally make my birthday. Here's the deal. Sometimes when I connect my Ipod to my computer, it sees it as a just a removable disk drive. When that happens, Itunes tells me that my ipod is corrupt. When it tells me I should restore, it then tells me error 1418. I followed the steps on the post on here about that error code and it doesn't work. However, sometimes my computer recognizes my ipod, a message will pop up from memory card manager saying failed ot locate supported file types or there are no photos found on this device. Then my ipod will sync in itunes and start copying files. It says it's copying (which in actuality it's not copying anything or i might get a song or two to copy to my ipod) but then it stops and a message pops up saying, The ipod "Mike's ipod" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found. I just don't know what to even try anymore. I've looked at so many posts and still nothing works. Please if anyone can help me I'd appreciate it so much!!!

Hi,
Ok, there seems to be a problem... I've now been running Disk First Aid Erase on my iPod for an hour and a half. So far the blue bar showing progress seems to be stuck on about 5mm in...
Btw... there's been 2 people w probs posting here (I couldn't find the link to make a new post and joined this as it had similar probs)- the original guy has sorted his problem. Mine revolves around an iPod that showed up corrupted when I plugged into my Mac after not using the iPod for a couple of months.
iTunes can't restore it - error sign... As it also now shows up unrecognizable when I plug it into my Mac but with a "you can intialize" possibility I'm trying that as suggested. That takes me to Disk First Aid where pod erase seems to be stuck....
Hope somebody out there can help... thanks!

Shuffle not working: error 1418

i cant connec tto my shuffle i get error 1418 or the desired disk cannot be found. i tried using the iPodResetUtilitySetup.exe tried resetting drivers, tried changing usb ports nothig? what am i to do.
BTW WORST support ive seen on the net so far. any one seen an email address we can use? phone?
im running windows xp 64bit

Hi,
I have had this error several times. In fact I've had others. And this solution ALWAYS works for me:
*Note - You MUST follow the steps in order!!
1. Disconnect the iPod from the computer.
2.Then go to "start> right click my computer>
manage> services and applications> services> click iPod service> click stop service."
3.Then connect the ipod and it should show up in my computer. Format it so all content is gone.
4.Next, go back to "start> right click my computer>manage> services and applications> services> click iPod service> click Start service."
5.This should have the service running again. Open iTunes and connect the shuffle.
6.When it says to automatically fill it (the window that pops up) dont unclick it,
7.proceed so the shuffle autofills. Before it stops, quickly go to the settings tab.
8.Then, scroll down to where it says "enable disk use".
9.select that and hit apply. Now, you manually eject the iPod and you can manage your music!
I had the same problem and several others as you and this eliminated the problem! I hope that helped. Can't take credit for this one. Someone else posted this a while back, but it works.

My iPod touch won't connect to wifi. Password is correct. Already reset network settings and restored ipod to original settings. Already updated iTunes and upgraded iPod to iOS 6.

A message keeps popping up when I try to join my network that says, "unable to join the network."
I have already reset network settings and restored ipod to original settings.
I already updated iTunes and upgraded iPod to iOS 6.
The password is correct. I even made sure by checking my wifi account.
I have completely restarted my internet connection multiple times.
I have also restarted my ipod multiple times
My wifi was working on my iPod yesterday before I reset all settings.
I updated it yesterday to iOS 5. Still didn't work.
It wasn't updated to the new iOS 6 until today so I don't think it has anything to do with the upgrade.
My camera started to be glitchy, so I reset my Ipod like I was advised in another discussion.
My internet wasn't connected anymore. My password wasn't working either, but the wifi connection was still showing.
Safari still wasn't working, though.
I did the sensible thing and I reset my network connection.
Now, the password isn't working and there's no wifi signal.
The camera is working well now, but the wifi is messed up. I didn't expect any of this to happen. The internet is all I use the iPod for. Now, the iPod is useless to me. Please help?

are other things still connecting to the wifi without a problem?
Have you tried resetting network settings, then unplugging modem and router from power for 40 seconds then plugging back in letting the lights stabilize and Then recconecting with the ipod>?

I'm having the same problem. I'm using a new shuffle usb cable in my 2nd generation shuffle and nothing shows up on computer. I'm wondering if the dock for the second gen is different than the new usb cable direct into the 2nd gen shuffle. I don't have a dock for it. Before I buy one on ebay I hope someone can assist.

I tried to set up my new ipod shuffle and a error message popped up saying Ipod not found cannot update. I can't sync my ipod now but it is showing on itunes. What should I do?

I bought a new 4th gen ipod shuffle and tried to sdet it up last night. I installed the latest itunes software and started to sync my ipod, but error boxes kept popping up saying ipod not found cannot sync. It was showing in itunes, then it would disappear, then it would come back. I am not very good with computers so I don't know what to do. Can someone help?

Do you have an iCloud backup? If you backed up your old phone to iCloud you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Erast All Content & Settings (which will erase your phone), then go back through the setup screens again and when prompted choose Restore From iCloud Backup. However your backup won't contain everything in your iTunes library (such as your music) so you'll need to be able to sync with your computer unless you purchased everything from iTunes and want to redownload it to your phone.
