How do i fix "an unknown error" 1618?

My brand new iPod touch won't restore!
Every time i plug in my new ipod i get the message telling me that it needs to be factory restored to its default settings. I click restore- it authorises with apple ect, and the ipod flashes and comes up with an empty bar.
Once this has happened, i receive the message;
"The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1618)."
Please could a big clever handsome tech guy tell me what on earth i'm doing wrong!
Thankyou!

I've got exactly the same issue, was doing the update today and the iphone came up with a message saying update did not happen, next thing it wants to do a restore but cannot and keeps coming up with error 1618.
I have tried on another laptop with itunes and it's the same problem.
So at the moment I have an iPhone 4 that will not switch on either with a Hard Reset or Soft one!
Any ideas anyone?

How do I fix, "An unknown error occured (1150)"

This error occurs when I try to sync my iPad. I have tried a re-start, and I have tried disabling restrictions. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks tonefox. In fact, I did start exactly there, (your link) and after a lengthy search with Google, found the two most common answers - "a re-start", and "disabling restrictions". Unfortunately, these did not work for me. Then, in iTunes, in the "Photos" section, I unchecked the checkbox beside "Sync Photos from (a specific folder) and tried again. This time it worked! Problem solved!

Do anybody know how to fix an unknown error

Do anyone know how to fix an unknown error #1439 on ipod classc?
Why the option import cd is gone now if you Itunes 10.5?

Hello there, please verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes.
Try these steps
Step 1. Connect a Ethernet cable to your macbook no wifi.
Step 2. Open iTunes
Step 3.Plug in your iPhone to your macbook
Step 4. Put the device into DFU mode.
DFU MODE STEPS
Hold the Power Button (3 secs)
Continue holding the power button and also hold the home button (15 secs)
Release the power button while continuing to hold the home button (10 secs)
You Should have black screen with nothing on the screen if done correctly.
Step 5: iTunes will either prompt to restore and update click restore and update
Just sit back and wait until you see the setup screen on your iphone if you still see error 53 is a hardware problem and needs to be replace by Apple.

How do I fix a 1439 error on iPod Classic

iPod Classic not working at all. Tried resetting with no luck. Tried to restore - comes up with [The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1439).] How do I fix a 1439 error?

I'm having the same problem as you (I think). My iPod Classic 160 gb got corrupted and I can't put songs on it. I tried resetting the iPod, changing connections, and completely reinstalling iTunes, but nothing has worked yet.
When I plug it into a usb drive on my Laptop (OS: Windows 7) it says "You need to format the disk in drive G: before you can use it. Do you want to format it?" If I click cancel, nothing happens and I can usually go to iTunes. If I click Format disk, a new window appears with many options (Capacity, File system, Allocation unit size, etc.). If I click start (no matter what options I chose), a message appears saying "WARNING: Formatting will erase ALL data on this disk. To format the disk, click OK. To quit, click CANCEL". Sounds scary right? None the less, a message always appears before the formatting can do anything saying "Windows was unable to complete the format."
When ITunes opens, a message appears saying "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore the iPod before it can be used with iTunes." I can click "ok" and the click the restore button, but after a while the load fails and it says The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1439).
This is really irritating! I just want to listen to music on the subway and bus! If anyone has any ideas or tips that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

How can I fix a time error on my MacBook?

How can I fix a time error on my MacBook?

If, after checking the settings in Sys Pref> Date/Time nothing really changes
you could see if a reset of the NVRAM could help.
Read carefully & when using the keyboard sequence, let the computer
start tone sound three times, to be sure the reset has really occurred.
•About NVRAM & PRAM:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Does the time gain by itself? Is the Time Server set to automatically
keep the computer time corrected when you are online? You may
also try the manual settings, if the computer had not been used in
some time, because if the battery gets too low, the capacitor in a
portable computer can also lose power, & NVRAM - PRAM chip
settings could be lost. However by then, Date can also be wrong.
Was there anything else going on that may have affected this?
Sometimes odd items are related to something else.
Good luck & happy computing!

We are having the same issue.

Adobe Reader XI (11.0.0)
Whenever someone tries to embed a PDF file into a Word document, the following error occurs:
The program used to create this object is AcroExch. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install AcroExch or ensure that any dialog boxes in AcroExch are closed.
I have looked at alot of articles online that say to 'Disable' Protected Mode. This does not resolve the issue. This option is not set by default in our environment.
Do we have any confirmation or information from Adobe on this issue?

Hey Debbiered1,
Follow the steps in this link to resolve the issue:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
When you uninstall, the items you uninstall and the order in which you do so are particularly important:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Take care,
Delgadoh

How do I fix the R6034 error in iTunes?

How do I fix the R6034 error in iTunes?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

How do I fix the following error? itunes counld not back up the iphone because the back up could not be saved on the computer?

I updated to iOS 5.0.1 days ago and didn't receive that notification until just now...
This time I synced new photos I took yesterday, and it gave me the:
"iTunes Sync: 54 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information"
Perhaps it kicks off when new items get synced.
I've decided to rent a movie yesterday. Once it gets deleted, I'm curious to see if it jumps to 55 items.
