"Error (-1418) Corrupted cannot be restored"?

Brand new nano 4gen, connected for first time and my iTunes says it may be corrupted and cannot be restored
I am using OS 10.3.9 and iTunes 7.2 maybe that is the problem, but I'd like some advice.
Thanks,
mark

The 4th Generation Nano requires at least OS 10.4.10 and iTunes 8.
Tiger (OS X 10.4.x) is no longer available, can your computer run Leopard (10.5.x)?

Ipod corrupted - cannot be restored

My iPod got stuck on "do not disconnect." It would not eject properly (I heard this can be a problem with Windows Vista but I update it frequently, so I should have already had the update that fixes this). It does not register on Itunes and is stuck. I tried to restore it, but it said "iPod corrupted - cannot be restored." What can you do to fix a "corrupted" iPod?

Error Message "Ipod cannot be restored (1418)"

Hi,
Yesterday my Ipod Shuffle which I already have for over a year, started blinking an orange and a green light. I never experienced this before, and when I connected my Ipod Shuffle to my computer it said (translated from dutch): "iTunes found an iPod that is most likely damaged. It is possible that you need to restore this iPod before you can use it with windows."
Well so I click restore in iTunes.. after a while it says "The Ipod cannot be restored. An unknown error occured. (1418)" Translated from dutch.
Does anyone knows a solution for this problem, I'd really appreciate it cos I use my iPod every day and my day doesn't gets any better without it.
Thanks a lot!
Reg,
Me.
My warranty's expired btw.
Ipod Shuffle Windows XP iTunes shows error message nr. 1418. Ipod Shuffle blinks red and green lights.

Hi julianrood!
Haev you tried the solution someone found in this post? -> A possible solution for errors 1417 and 1418
Also, in this same forum, have you tried checking out this possibility? -> When getting error 1418, try USB port in the back

20gb iPod, error 1418, "disk cannot be read from or written to", and others

I am having a series of serious issues with my 4th gen 20gb. I have tried restoring it several times, syncing if and when it restores, then restoring it again when it tells me "disk cannot be read from or written to". Sometimes when I try restoring it i get the "unknown error 1418" message, so I disconnect the iPod and try again; sometimes it restores, sometimes it doesn't. I have also tried plain resetting it (select+menu) and that either gives me the dead smiley ipod or a folder with an exclamation point.
What can I do to salvage my beloved iPod?
Thanks for any and all help.

If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=501330&tstart=0
C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ or ifixit at your own risk
http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
http://www.ifixit.com/
Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don’t want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote

Error 1418 when attempting to restore!

I have looked around and not found a successful answer to the 1418 error when I attempt to restore my Nano. My ITunes is 7.1.1. It says its the most current version. When I click restore it tells my I can update the iPod software from 1.3 to 1.3.1 and restore or keep the existing software and restore. I have tried both options and I get the 1418 error. I looked at the answer page other people with this problem have been referred to and it does not help. Does anyone know what to do?

Help! error message 'The IPod cannot be restored' error message 1418

Every time i connect my ipod it says cannot sync re the playlists when I go in and then change them and click on sync it doesn't seem to be able to pick up the connection.
when i tried to restore to factory settings got the message cannot be restored error 1418... Any ideas anyone?

Error 1418 / Itunes detected an Ipod that may be corrupt / "Autoplay"

I've now spent many hours researching these 3 subjects in the discussion groups and I'm still one of many without a resolution to them. I think I've tried everything to get my 5th generation, 13 month old Ipod loaded with music again but without success.
It all started when my Ipod stopped playing between songs while I just sitting at a table waiting for dinner - no drop, no abuse, no physical harm. I can't remember exactly what I did next but I think I couldn't get it to reset. So, I plugged it in to the computer and tried to restore it.
Restoring it, of course, erased all the music off of the Ipod, but then when it was reseting, a search window titled "Autoplay" appeared in Windows. (now, every time I connect my Ipod to the PC this Autoplay window opens with the little search flashlight)
Itunes then says that it "detected that my Ipod may be corrupt."
I tried to restore a couple times and occasionally get the error message "1418" - that the Ipod cannot be restored.
A couple postings suggested formatting the Ipod drive in My Computer. Unfortunately, when I open My Computer and right click on the removable drive (the ipod) My Computer either stops responding or the little drop down menu appears. But, when I get the drop down window and select format or open, nothing happens. Can't modify "autoplay" settings there.
I've tried fixing/updating/restarting USB drivers, restoring from another PC, updating Itunes and Quicktime software and doing the trick with the appleipod.bat file. Even tried another Ipod cable.
Here's a couple error messages generated from the Diagnostics feature in Itunes (It failed):
[SERVICE: 0x60C,10:28:51 ERROR] Did not find first letter of stage
[SERVICE: 0xFE8,10:29:01 INFO] [1] iPod needs formatting...
[SERVICE: 0xFE8,10:29:01 ASSERT] Assertion failure: 'rtcTime->isDST != 0' [File: .\DeviceManagement\iPodDevice.cpp, Line: 770]
[SERVICE: 0xFE8,10:29:01 INFO] [1] *** MOUNT FAILED - Non-FAT32 device, device session 0
[SERVICE: 0x60C,10:34:43 INFO] [1] PHYSICALLY DISCONNECTED!
[SERVICE: 0x5E4,10:35:28 ERROR] device number 0 exists, but isn't in m_objDeviceNumberMap!
just to point out a few.
When the Ipod is disconnected from the PC it appears to be working just fine - but no music, of course. I really don't know what else to try. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I'm at a dead end.

My ipod also is searching for autoplay and the itunes diagnostics also indicates a problem showing connection status as "failed". However the Network diagnostics indicates the connection is fine and I have downloaded music but can't get podcasts to show up as "sync"-ed under any heading:podcasts, movies, videos, music, etc. I have followed every direction/suggestion/idea I can find and so far, no change...
This is a new ipod for me, but not a new ipod. any ideas?

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!!

I cannot restore this ipod, nor can i reformat it using any program, application, or even the command line. iTunes gives me the error "unknown error - 1418", and ipod updater gives me "Disk Write Error" when i try to restore it. Does anyone know if there is any way to salvage this iPod? or should i be returning it to Costco?
this all started i think when the owner ran the batteries completely down. the ipod still gives the "connect to computer use itunes to restore screen".
this ipod was purchased in june 2006, and is in perfect condition.

Ipod cannot be restored because of unknown problem (Error 1437)"

One day when I was listening my ipod when I pass the other song ipod screen freeze and I reset it and when its open all the songs and videos are gone Then I connect it to my laptop and I took the Error says "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted" When I try to restore it through itunes, I take an error message says "ipod cannot be restored because of unknown problem (Error 1437)" And the ipod is not recognised in itunes after this message..Then I searched the help files; I updated my itunes to the latest version, also restart my computer and change the usb port Im trying.. Also tried to update the serial control drivers but nothing's changed..One time I tried to do it in safe mode.. Nothings Changes... I everything I found in apple help files.. I see lots of unanswered questions in many months but Please HELP

Well it could be dead forever or you might just need some simple repairs. The problem i have seen in some is that when dropped the hard drive either comes loose (easy to fix) or gets killed (little more expensive).
There could be other problems but i have seen those problems more often than something drastic like the whole board dieing.

Trouble restoring my iPod Shuffle (error 1418)

So this is my specification of my iPod:
http://support.apple.com/specs/ipod/iPod_shuffle.html
I have a machine of Windows Vista and it is a notebook.
My iPod worked absolutely well with my machine and my iTunes for some days.
About a month ago, there was a prompt talking about I need a Windows Update patch installed as removing iPod from a Vista machine eventually hurts the iPod.
I checked every detail with Microsoft.com, Apple.com as well as Google.com and decided to patch my OS with the given link.
However the installer said the update did not apply to my system.
"Ok, then, let's forget it", I thought and just forget about it.
Just for a few song syncs, I found that there is always some error for the iPod and I have to restore it to get it sync.
As well as there is some way to update my songs, I don't mind to do extra steps.
Then, yesterday, I tried the same thing.
Sync it, ok, can't, then, restore.
However, it comes out an error 1418.
Retry, the same.
Retry again and again, the same again and again.
Then, I started with Googling. And eventually tried to disconnect it and reconnect it when restoring, which is suggested by this site:
http://www.javatyger.com/2007/02/solution-to-ipods-evil-1418-error.html
Then, to Apple support.......
I tried the iPod Shuffle Restore Tool, sorry, not for Vista.
Then, I tried to use an old version of iPod updater to restore it, can't.
Now, I have the following symptoms:
1. iTunes, Windows explorer, actually everything in my machines can recognize the iPod.
2. iTunes cannot sync. the content.
3. iTunes cannot restore the iPod and gives error 1418 when trying to do so.
4. Windows explorer shows iPod in My Computer, clicking its property, it shows no memory space used nor free.
5. Cannot format the iPod as treating it like an external storage device. Using right-click->format gives no response while using "format I:" in cmd.exe gives "Error in IOCTL Call".
6. No trace of the iPod having any memory judging from its property and Disk Management.
I hope these information could help figuring out the solution and I will be very thankful with anyone's help.

I have had the same problem with 2 different ipods. I eventually was able to reset one (using the restore utility and Windows XP. When I got back to the main setup screen asking me to name my ipod, i left the autofill box checked. Then when itunes loaded i clicked autofill. Now I have ALL my songs on one ipod but cannot take any songs off it or change playlists.
If you haven't already, try this link http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304508 and go thru all the instructions on your XP machine, and see if you get to the same point I am at now. If you do, welcome to a whole new world of frustration!!! then maybe we can figure out what to do from there.
GOOD LUCK!!!
