Error 1418 on a Mac

I have seen a lot of error 1418 reports from iPod users using Windows, but I have had this problem with my mac. In short, My ipod became "corrupt" shortly after installing iTunes 7. When I connected to my computer, I was prompted to restore by iTunes. The restore seemed to go ok, but it stalled during the reinstallation of my music. Subsequent startup came back with a second corrupt message and future attempts to restore the iPod results in an error 1418 unable to restore.
My iPod now has the flashing folder with the exclamation point when not plugged in to the computer. I have tried older iPod updaters but they also fail because the iPod is not mounted to the desktop. I strongly suspect this is a software problem, and am hoping for any suggestions. I have tried to "see" the drive with disk utility but it is not visible.
iBook G4 1.33GHz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   20GB iPod w/ dock connector

I was actually seeing or rather hearing problems with my iPod for a day or so, some songs didn't play no sound, if I manually advanced it would play a song not necessarily the next one. Than it would even skip from one song in the middle to the beginning of the next, it locked up later and had to be reset. I decided to dock it and see if I could do anything with it and I got the message about having corrupt file or files (I'm sorry I don't recall if it referred to the firmware for sure). iTunes 7 then walked me through the restore, which seemed to work fine. I verified the name of my iPod and it started restoring my music. However, iTunes and the iPod seemed to hang in the middle of this process after waiting some time with no improvement I force quit iTunes and tried to restart the process. After this however every restore results in unknown error 1418.

  • Error 1418 on BRAND NEW Video ipod - Only 48 hours old!

    Hi,
    Just upgraded from a click wheel ipod to a new 80GB video Ipod. Installed itunes 7.02 and everything worked fine. Last night got the message saying an update was avaliable for my ipod so I clicked update and since then I get the following messages
    1. The ipod could not be read from or written to.
    2. The ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored
    3. Unknown error - 1418
    I have tried
    1. 5r's
    2. Reformat through windows
    The ipod now says it is corrupt and needs to be restored through itunes but itunes only returns the 1418 message.
    I have googled this to death and there seems to be alot of issues with the new firmware. I am really annoyed as I havent even had chance to listen to my music yet and ive spent alot of money on it.
    Any one have any ideas please, any other Video users had a similar problem after the firmware update?
    Thanks

    The link works for me. However, here's the post.
    iTunes7 & 5th gen iPod updating - is this possible solution? (winXP)

    Downloaded iTunes 7 and you've gone through the 5 R's until your red in the face?
    * This probable solution 'stumbled upon' using a 60GB video. I have no idea if the process will work the same for nano. But if your desperate and have backed up your library... full steam ahead.
    If you've noticed that your iPod does not show up in My Computer, but shows up in iTunes, and the new Update or Restore option within iTunes (Summary tab of a recognized iPod) doesn't work (choosing 'Update' gives you error 1417 and 'Restore' gives you error 1418 - whatever they mean) then give this a try:
    1. Restart your computer - just to make sure we're all on the same page
    2. Start up/Load iTunes
    3. Connect your iPod to your computer - it may take a little time for iTunes to connect to your device
    4. When the dialogue box pops up telling you that a new version of firmware (ver. 1.2) is available choose: INSTALL
    5. As iTunes shows you a progressive bar of 'installing' (the bar scrolls across again and again) use the "Safely Remove Hardware" option in your taskbar and stop "Apple iPod USB Device". The computer will then tell you that the device can now be removed
    6. "Installing" continues... plug in/connect iPod again. The "Install" continues like nothing's happened. Weird, huh?
    7. Apple logo and Update status bar should now appear on your dimmed iPod screen (because of no backlight)
    8. At this point, dialogue box pops up on computer to tell you that updating continues
    9. "Do Not Disconnect" symbol will then show on your iPod
    10. Process finishes after a time, and now the Summary tab says the iPod has been updated.
    HA!!! If this is all that troubles you - HUZZAH! And I hope this helped.
    Now that we've come this far... I've found that when I normally open iTunes and plug in my iPod to aunto-sync, I now get ERROR (-50) -> Mac needs to get a database online or something to tell me what these 'errors' mean so I don't freak out when I get one...
    1. Go BACK to the Summary tab or your recognized deive in iTunes. Now choose RESTORE. Make sure whatever is on your iPod can be replaced
    2. This part takes time
    3. Computer will pop with dialogue box saying that iPod is restored and being changed to factory settings
    4. Prompt then pops up for you to name your little iPod. At this stage you can choose to 'Auto-sync songs and vids when connected' or 'Auto-sync photos' and from which directory. It's up to you.
    5. iTunes will then thank you for registering your iPod. From this point, the files are copied to your device. Depending on how large your library is affects how long this process takes.

  • 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”.

    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)

    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

  • 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!!

  • IPod will not sync with Itunes since updated to 7.2034 error 1418

    The IPod still works when not connected to PC but when connected an error message comes up that it is corrupted and will need to be restored. When this attempted error 1418 eventually appears.
    I have tried by resetting the Drivers in windows - updating didnt work so deleted and restored USB Mass Storage Drivers
    Have set up and run the appleipod.bat still didnt work
    Have tried to reformat IPod as a drive but I couldnt get that to work but that might be how I attemted it. using "Run" Format g:\(g being the Ipod Mass Storage drive name)
    One other point is that the Ipod has lost its name
    So does any one have any other solutions

    Thanks deggie
    I have been to the local apple store in the end and they tried on a Mac, the IPod worked OK, and then they used a Mac in XP - the connecton was very slow but worked also. Their surgestion Copy Itune files to extenal hard drive and reinstall Itune again. Copy back music before running ITunes
    This worked and all back to normal. It therefore was a problem with corrupted Itunes in windows. The Ipod is now listed in My Computed correctly as well now.
    Thanks again for help

  • IPod error 1418

    I have recently had this error displayed on screen, yep, i got the bug too!
    The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1418)
    unfortunately my macBook pro does not accept the old ipod software restore disk, perhaps its too old for my pro. Basically i cannot try the (5R's) any suggestions on how i can get around this?
    Cheers in advance.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply to my question. I did look on the forums, but I couldn't find information that was relevant to my question.
    However, I did manage to solve the 1418 error in my case!
    As follow:-
    Problem: I was unable to access my iPod due to error 1418 code. I am running a MacBook Pro OSX 10.4.8 with iTunes 7.0.2. My iPod is 2 years old and is the docking version. The problem is I couldn't load the original iPod updater software onto my MacBook Pro to update the iPod to it's original software 2.2
    Solution: I took my iPod to work where we have a G4 running OSX 10.2.8 (?) earlier version anyway. I loaded my original software updater onto this machine. Unfortunately the mac would not mount the iPod fully, so I pressed the reset buttons repeatedly on the iPod until the Updater panel (restore button) became visible. At this stage, the iPod would still not update because the computer could not see the full disk image. I opened system utilities selected the iPod image which was greyed out and erased all information on it twice. Then I was able to go back into the iPod updater window and press the restore button. The rest is history!
    I have now connected my iPod to my MacBook Pro, making sure the software does not update atuomatically (not sure if it can do that anyway) It did ask me if I wanted to update my software to version 2.3 on the iPod.
    This worked for me with my setup, how long for, who knows. If I keep to the old iPod software I should be o.k.
    If anyone knows where the option for iTunes is on the Tiger disks which came with my mac I would be very interested to know. I couldn't find it anywhere, and I didn't want to do a full software restore.
    Hope this helps someone!!!

  • O.o i fixed my mini ipod while writing this. Error 1418

    Hi, I've had my mini ipod for about just over a year and I haven't had any problems with it. But yesterday I turned it on and all my music was wiped off. So I connected it up to the computer and itunes 6 couldn't read it and said i needed to restore it. So I restored it a few times and it still didn't work. After I downloaded itunes 7 and tried to restore and update it but it came up with 'Error 1418'. I've looked at the support articles and I've tried them and my ipod still doesn't work and constantly still comes up with the folder and exclamation mark. I formatted it on my computer, then tried to update it and then downgraded to itunes 6. I restarted my computer and unplugged and then reconnected my ipod to see if itunes could detect it and it still wouldn't work.
    But after just typing this I put it into disk mode connected it up and it worked.

  • 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.

  • Ipod nano 2gb has error 1418

    Well I had over 2gb of music on my itunes...so it said if i wanted to create a playlist that the ipod will go to so the new music will show up...i clicked yes...and then later that day i deleted the old music and then had 1.8 gb so that the ipod could sync all the music. I then DELETED the original playlist that the ipod was getting music from apparently...so i thought that the ipod would be able to sync it. it turns out that the ipod says something like the orignial file cannot be found..or something like that. and then i was just going to restore it to factory settings but that won't work either!!! it says error 1418. so then i updated to version 7...and then i tried to restore it to factory settings again....SAME error!!! what does this mean and how can i fix it?

  • IPod shuffle Reset Utility & older "error 1418" thread

    As you probably noticed, there's already an announcement about the iPod shuffle Reset Utility on this forum. As the announcement says, this utility indeed solves problems that were, until now, unsolved. One example is the "error 1418" problem discussed in the following thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3191414
    I think it would be really useful if there was a reply on that thread linking to the announcement, since people searching about that issue will most likely find that thread, and not the announcement (precisely what happened to me). The problem is that the thread is locked, but perhaps a forum admin can do it.
    If that's not possible, the author of the announcement could at least edit it so that it includes the term "error 1418" (to increase the chance of people searching for that term to find that page).
    I apologize if this has been suggested before.

    I did not touch my shuffle for 3 days, tried it in my computer again, and it still failed. All the same problems. No lights and none of the programs acknowledged it, except the reset utility, which gave me the same error message.
    So, I returned here, praying for answers. Nothing. For some reason, I tried turning the ipod on, and BOOM, I got a green light and it seemed okay. Tried it in my computer again, and now it works! I've reset it anyway (through itunes), and all seems well.
    I guess time does heal all wounds. Thanks to everyone who tried to help. Assume all worked out unless you hear from me again.
    No more radio for me! (again)... yeah.

  • How to resolve Error: 1418 in sql server while mirroring

    Hi  Support,
    I am trying to mirroring a database in sql server. I created a database and took a backup of it and restored on the another instance(i am using same server but with different instances). But after doing all operations and click on start mirroring, then it
    showing following error.
    The server network address "TCP://indserver.xxxx.local:5022" can not be
    reached or does not exist. Check the network address name and reissue the command. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 1418)
    I followed mirroring steps in this "http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/31325/Step-by-Step-SQL-Mirroring-the-ASPState-Database" Here it says, create an user on both principal and mirror server with the same credentials in STEP 3.So please provide
    me solution for above error.

    Hi Pankaj Sharma,
    According to your error message, we need to verify if you backup your database with full recovery model and restore this database to a mirror instance with NORECOVERY option. You need also verify all instances can access every other partner and make sure
    endpoints are running properly, you have granted the SQL Service Account CONNECT permission to the listener on the other machine.
    If after trying this you are still getting a 1418 error, here's a blog post with a couple of other things to check for:
