Fix for Error 1417 with new itunes 7

This worked for me when I got that unknown error - 1417 (can't update ipod)
Step 1: Disable all third party programs and services via MSCONFIG
Article with step by step instructions found here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
Step 2: Restart the computer
Step 3: Uninstall quicktime through the control panel in add/remove programs
Step 4: Uninstall itunes through the control panel in add/remove programs
Step 5: Uninstall any/all ipod updaters or ipod for window software through the control panel in add/remove programs
Step 6: Delete program file folders for itunes and quicktime:
--On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
--In My Computer, open Local Disk. (C Drive)
--Open Program Files.
--Right-click on the iTunes folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
--Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
--Open the iPod folder.
--Right-click on the bin folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu. Note: If you are unable to delete the \Program Files\iPod\bin folder, see the "iPodService.exe Alert" section below.
--Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
--Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
Step 7: Restart computer
Step 8: Install STANDALONE version of quicktime at:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
Note: if you get an error on this page about an error occuring, just refresh. It should load. Also, there are TWO download options... one with itunes 7 and one without. You want the one without itunes.
Step 9: Restart computer
Step 10: Install itunes 7:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
Step 11: Restart computer
Step 12: Run itunes. You should be able to update and sync your ipod after this and no longer get that pesky 1417 error.
Also, after you have resolved the issue please see the bottom of the msconfig article for instructions on configuring windows to load your normal startup options again.

It seems like almost everybody is having this exact same problem. I bought a Nano for my wife and a iPod Photo for myself. Syncing does not work on either one and from what I read on these boards it doesn't work for most customers. Apple really needs to fix this soon.

  • Do you have a fix for error 7 windows error 193 for itunes

    Do you have a fix for error 7 (Windows error 193)  when I try to open my itunes? I have uninstalled, reinstalled. Still does not work

    Since you weren't able to deactivate your software before the hard disk crashed, you'll need to get assistance from our support staff. You can contact them through chat at http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/?issue=myOptions_activate
    Be sure to have whatever serial numbers you have on hand (and make sure to register them).

  • Error message saying "new itunes library"

    downloaded the latest itunes now when i try to open itunes just get error message saying "new itunes library"

    Try this approach:
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    If that doesn't work go into the Control Panel for progams and try to repair the iTunes installation, or remove it and then reinstall.

  • Possible fix for errors 11503 and 50

    Here's a possible fix for Error 11503 and for error 50.
    It worked for me and hopefully it will work for you.
    I believe this error is caused by the incomplete downloading of either an update to an app. In my case it was caused by closing the lid on my laptop when I was downloading app updates on a very slow internet connection in a hotel.
    Anyway, here is what I did that fixed it completely.
    Close iTunes.
    Go to this folder : /iTunes/Mobile Applications/Downloads
    You'll find tmp files there. Drag them out of this folder to a temporary folder on your desktop. The Downloads folder should now be empty.
    Restart iTunes.
    All should be fine.
    If it is, delete the desktop folder with all the temp files.
    If it's not, then I can't help further, but that's what worked for me.

    Several possible causes from the info you gave
    Battery level low - recharge it for at least 4 hours till the full charge sign displays (2 prong icon instead of lightning icon).
    Time to Reset the iPod - Press the Menu and center Button for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON, then let go of the buttons.
    your hardisk is starting to give problems, hence the skipping and some song refuse to play. - Do a disk diagnostic - follow this post by tt2.
         https://discussions.apple.com/message/17028567#17028567
    If you have updated any sofware application in Windows, then follow this Apple support procedure
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1539
    Most likely you have to do all, as the iPod hardisk filesystem would have been corrupted, or else the iPod Reset would bring it to normal operation.
    Good Luck!

    how can i sync my iPod with new iTunes on new computer without losing my old library? There is no backup iTunes/iPod files available.

    If you connect your ipod to your computer then look in the hidden folder labeled "iPod_Control" . (This is on a Mac version, but i think it's the same for Windows) and in "Music" is all your music mixed up in different folders. Just drag the MUSIC folder onto itunes then BAM! It's done ;D

  • My ipod 5.1.1 (9B206) will not sync with new Itunes version 12.0.1.26. Can anyone help

    My ipod touch 3rd generation OS  5.1.1 (9B206) will not sync with new Itunes version 12.0.1.26. Can anyone help

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Does iTunes see the iPod?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod       
    Try syncing using the manual method                
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    If iTunes does not see the iPod:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

    Try a different cable.
    If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.

  • Unbelievable - i want it fixed for free or a new laptop - dv2500 is an expensive paperweight

    I have (had) a DV2500 laptop and like numerous other people have had nothing but problems with it.  Starting with wifi problems, then sound card issues, then video card flickering all leading up to the death of the motherboard all caused by (so my computer guy says) a bad chip that HP knew was bad and continued to sell models containing it.
    This is unbelievable that company can sell something knowing it is bad and expect to have no recourse for their business practices.  I for one will never by another hp product due to the lack of respect the company has for its customers dealing with problem

  • With new iTunes 11 how do you restart podcasts that used to regular pause

    With new iTunes 11 how do you restart podcasts that used to regular pause?
    Before iTunes 11, a symbol would appear in individual podcast lists showing that the sender requires you to confirm that you still wish to receive their podcast. This used to occur with all my BBC podcasts once a week usually at the weekend.
    Now with iTunes 11 this control seems to have disappeared. Tried all the new icons but nothing seems to do this.
    Now (as its Saturday) all my BBC podcasts have stopped as there appears no way to reconfirm that I still want to automatically receive them.
    Please help!

    Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    With iTunes 11 you might also have a Home Videos folder inside iTunes Media.
    In the simplest cases you copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target machine, install iTunes, and it "just works"TM.
    If the media folder (inside the red outline) has been split out to a separate location then you can copy the library folder (outside the red outline) as before and connect the drive holding the media so that it has exactly the same path as before. If the drive appears as D: on one system and E: on the other then the library won't be able to find the media.
    The crucial file is iTunes Library.itl - this contains a record of the tracks that have been added to the library, ratings, play counts, playlists etc.

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPhone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPhone without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

    Sorry reply is only to say  "ditto" except for iPod involvement.  I can't repair iTunes, can't access it when in programs/features
    Any other suggestions out there?  I tried reinstall, no difference.  Had latest version anyway.  Only thing different I did the last time I was able to get into iTunes was listen to radio streams. ??????
