Error 1418 - Try USB Port in Back

Having spent hours reviewing and trying all the 1418 Errors reported & possible solutions in the database, (including the "5 Rs"), I rang Apple Support in Australia.
I was having the same problem as many reported here on Windows XP SP2
1. 1418 Error on trying to do Restore (iTunes 7)
2. iPOD showing as Removeable Storage F: (in Explorer)
3. Showing as USB Mass Storage Device in Device Manager
4. iPOD (F drive) not showing up in Logical Disk Manager
5. iPOD not showing in iTunes
6. Not possible to Format f:
Initially taken through everything again by first level support (the 5 Rs, try format drive etc), then passed to higher level technical support. Requested to send in log and iTunes diagnostic file. Finally suggestion "Try USB port on back of computer". This miraculously caused Restore to work. Note that my tower has a Gigabyte P4 Titan board with 2 USB ports at front & 4 at rear. My other iPOD (& various friends iPODs have all worked in front USB ports. My CANON camera has no problems in front USB ports. Technical support said they don't know why, but they have found using front USB ports on certain computers with certain iPODs caused 1418 Error on Restore. May not fix everyone's 1418 problem, but this could save someone else the many hours I spent trying to resolve this.

First, if you are not aware, you need to know that Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme.
That may be part of the problem here, so if you want to continue to try this, you need to understand that there are no guarantees of success.
Some users do seem to be able to make this work, but most have some problems and some....like me....have nothing but problems when they try this.
If you want to continue to try this, the first thing to verify is that the drive is formatted specifically in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Have you verified that the drive is formatted correctly by connecting it directly to your Mac and using Disk Utility to check?
Some drives that are advertised as being "compatible for Mac" are not formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Time Machine has no chance of success unless the drive is first formatted correctly.
I would also ask that you consider leaving the drive connected to your Mac for Time Machine backups. That will be supported, and is a far more reliable way to keep backups if your data is important to you.
Next, we need to know what operating system you are running on your Mac. If you do not know, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen and then click About This Mac.  Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.

  • USB port at back of iMac stopped working except keyboard. Why?

    My USB ports on back of iMac stopped working, I can't seem to get any power from them. Only keyboard port works..
    My externals don't work neither and I got all my hard work on them. I think I've lost info?

    I have no idea what happened. However, I believe that you've got to take it back to the service provider and work with them. Call them and tell them what happened and see what kind of a response you get. You might want to try to get in touch with Apple Customer Service and see if they can help you out with the service provider.
    As for "compensation", that is probably a legal matter unless you have some kind of insurance that covers you for business losses. You might try to stress to the service provider that they should do whatever service is now needed to get the machine working again at no additional charge.

  • Synching error with different USB port

    I set up my iPhone and had no problems synching with iTunes. I then changed to a different USB port than the one I had originally used. I began to recieve the following error when I tryed to synch "0xE800001". I then switched to a different usb port and everything worked fine.
    Is there any way to get iPhone to work with the new usb port because that is the only port that charges when my computer is off.

    Check out article below for tips and suggestions
    iPhone: Troubleshooting USB connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286
    Make sure you perform all Vista Software updates, also visit your PC manufacture website and download and install latest drivers for your PC hardware.
    Also ensure you are not connecting via a USB Hub or using a USB extension cable.
    If it only gives that error message in 1 USB port and not others. Try disconnecting any un-needed USB devices. Then connect back to that port and try syncing again.

  • Error Code 720; USB ports failing; the horror.... the horror

    Ok, so I have been banging my head against the wall and seconds away from using my T60 as a boat anchor. I'll give the particulars and then we can grow from there. XP; sp3; 2g ram... what else do we need?
    Dec. 6th - everything worked fine ( ahem, restore won't work, nice) What worked? Me being able to connect to the internet using Verizon software and phone with a usb cable at work.
    Dec. 7th - phone was unable to connect to the computer via usb cable; installed all associated software and drivers with the usb cable and phone. Intermittent problems with the wifi, but still able to connect via wifi. downloaded and reinstalled drivers for usb and phone. ran PC doc to check USBs... both in and out of Winglows, all checks balance.
    Dec. 8th - Same issues, was able to get usb to work, but then the magic error code 720, pops up. Called Verizon. They wanted me to do a firmware update on the phone. Sure, fine....
    Dec. 9th - Take the phone in the shop; it's all firm. Oh, guess what? error code 720. So, I call Verizon and get on the 2-3 day wait list. Search the web. high and low I searched. I found people who have had the same problems. (http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=Special_Interest_Windows&thread.id=398&view=by_d...) yeah. So, a side problem here. I tried these steps, which seemed to make sense. Basically, they state that there is a conflict with the WAN (ip) & (pptp). It suggest to delete from registry and delete from Device Manager and reinstall. SUPER. Well, it kinda worked, but then it didn't really at all. Windohs would not allow me to delete the WAN (ip) because it wanted it to boot something - what that is I still don't know. I could not delete. So, if that is a solution it is mingled with errors on my side. Which could possibly be the solution to all of this, but if that were all....
    The Next Day - regardless what day this was going on I cannot seem to (a) diagnose any of the conflicts - see (c) because that basically ruins msconfig, and the effing security chip makes it hang on the startup even though it is disabled in bios (I think this angered the computer greatly), (b) get device manager to play nice meaning that it locks up either by searching for devices or deleting the above mentioned drivers, (c) successfully restart the machine as it hangs on what appears to be the BSODs distant cousin that won't let Winblows completely shutdown, (d) if the phone was able to connect to the computer code 720 again, (e) USBs were fluctuating some boots would have USBs some would not - note: I did disable windows ability to manage power, as it has been suggested.
    Today - Verizon called, "something is wrong with your computer not your phone." Thanks. Confirmed that by using my fiancée's Dell...
    So, I ask the great minds of the INTERWEB, is there anything I can do besides format c:? Is there a solution to my problem?
    I thank you in advance for your time and consideration...

    Hi,
    If you made any changes prior to this issue, then undo the changes, such as a system restore (if you have).
    Try boot your PC into safe mode to test this issue.
    And one common cause of Code 39 errors is the corruption of two specific registry values, locate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\08002BE10318}. you need to delete the upperfilter and lowerfilter registry values, detailed
    steps, please refer to this link (make sure to backup your registry before aking any registry changes for incorrect changes might cause serious issue)
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/upperfilters-lowerfilters.htm
    And as Rick said, it is also necessary to contact the manufacture support.

  • Does it worth repairing a USB port of a laptop out of warranty ?

    Hi ..
    bought my pavillion (dv5 1135 ) 2 years back ,and had no problems since then until yesterday when I found that my external mouse is not working , and started getting message errors of malfunctioning USB port even after removing the mouse cable .
    The mouse is woking perfectly on my desktop . I tried other USB devices but failed to work . In device manager , I un-installed all the USB controllers to force the system to re-install them but did`nt chage anything .. I almost confirming that I got a faulty USB port which I don`t know if it will cost me a lot to fix it , so I want to know that and the other cheaper solutions that you can suggest .(by the way I have only one USB port still struggling to survive ) .
    thanks in advance ...

    Have you tried clean instalation of OS? or running factory installed setting using HP recovery disks? if the problem persist than 100% hardware problem.
    If you are pretty sure it was a hardware problem, the right side of USB port can be replaced, see picture below.
    However the left side is attached to the motherboard.
    Download Maintenance and Service Guide and learn how to dissemble the notebook.
    I repaired my friend notebook with the same issue as yours, by re-seat the connection of the USB board, no new hardware is required.
    Sometimes it tends to lose due to heat or vibrations.

  • Aluminum Keyboard USB Ports Not Working

    I bought a new aluminum keyboard for my Intel Core 2 Duo iMac last week. Everything worked fine at first. I was able to connect my digital camera, flash drive, and iPod through the USB 2.0 port, while my mouse was plugged into the other.
    Anywho, now the only thing that I can get to work in either port is my mouse! If I plug anything else in I get the following notice:
    That's impossible being 1) it worked last week and 2) these are USB 2.0 ports.
    I've tried restarting my system and running software update. Any solutions?

    These ports being USB2.0 does not prevent this message at all. There is still a restricted power supply from 1 USB port (tracing back to your computer, all 3 items are being powered by the 1 port on the iMac). There is also the possibility that other USB items attached to the computer are having a very small effect, just enough to make a difference, so try with all others removed.
    I would personally get a small USB extension cable plugged into the iMac, and plug your units into that. If you need more ports, a good powered hub will sort this out, as it can provide the 500ma current from each port, rather than splitting the available 500ma current between a keyboard, a mouse and another item.

    My problem - when syncing and error messages  comes up:  iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while margin data."  I've tried turning the phone off and back on, & tried both USB ports but get the same thing.  What can I do next since it doesn't give me even one clue as to what the error would be?

    Before I started to resync calendars one by one as suggested in the troubleshooting article, I remembered something that came up in a sync when I first attempted :  a 'which one do you want to keep' message about a repeating calendar event, which came up with three options, one from Calendar, and two from iCal on the phone.  I deleted that event, then went through the calendar resync one by one, and all seems OK now.
    In Music there is a way to find 'ghost' items that show up as grayed-out on the menus, so that you can try to reassociate or delete them.  It would be nice to have a similar way to work with Calendar!
    Thanks for pointing me to the right article.

  • How do I get rid of error code 2001/2006? My phone is in recovery mode. I have tried several different cords, all USB ports, my macbook, and a friends PC. This is the second time my phone has done this, the first time it was an easy fix.

    I have an iPhone 4. It is in great condition, always protected. A couple months ago, it randomly went black and wouldn't turn on. I put it in recovery mode, plugged it in to my MacBook Pro and would get error code 2001 then I'd get error code 2006. I read some different forums and many people said to try using a different USB port and different cords. The last cord I tried, worked and my phone was back. Last night, my phone did the same exact thing. So I used the same method I used last time, however nothing has worked. I tried plugging it in to a PC and that didn't work either. This seems like a hopeless problem that's going to continue to happen. Any advice?

    Soooooooo.... You obviously need to restore the device
    It seems that you have tried several options to restore it. What I would do is leave it plugged it and hold down the Home button AND the Power button together till you see the white apple appears. Then let go of the Power button but continue to hold the home button. You should get the message in iTunes again saying that the iPhone needs to be restored. Hit OK then RESTORE.
    Hope this helps!!
