IPOD 30GB Syncing and restoring trouble
When I connect the IPOD, ITUNES will seem like it is updating then i get an error message that reads "Can not sync Blake's IPOD. File not found" It will not restore either, it reads " THe IPOD could not be restored, error 1418".
Anyone know what I can do?
I hope you are not connecting them at the same time.
What is happending when you try to sync? Error messages? What other USB devices are connected to this computer and is it on a network?
You might also want to look at this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136 Even if there are no new drivers for your computer, read the last part of the article and let Windows reload your USB root driver.

My first IPAD 2 wireless failed, so a second IPAD 2 was sent to me. I have game apps that aren't transfering at the levels I have achieved. Is there a way I can keep the game app levels where I am? ie, Planet fish< solitaire, Sudoku, bejeweled 2, shazam-(has saved my content)...so why has some of these not saved my content? Or is there something other than back up, syncing and restoring that will save what I have accomplished so far?

CAssuming that the Library is intact, then simply drag the back up to your internal HD - put it on the desktop and open it, to make sure all is well:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and point it at the Library on the desktop.
If it is, trash the one in your Pictures Folder and put the restored one in its place.

After reformatting iPod to NTFS and restoring back with iTunes, the player works for two-three weeks and crashes afterward. It then requests to restore it through iTunes. When connected to iTunes, it sees it in the restore mode and also asks to restore the iPod. It happens over and over for the last months. What could be the problem?
iPod Classic 80Gig.
Thanks in advance.Dear planb77
Thanks for a reply. iPod does not support ntfs - you're right. that means it will never work on that. While restoring ipod using iTunes, itunes reformats it no matter what filesystem is there. So the issue is not that. ipod is now on fat32 and it works for a certain period of time, but then crashes and asks to restore through itunes. Resetting/restarting does not help. -

While syncing my iphone 4s, its saying unable to sync and restore to factory settings. But, My iphone 4s is factory unlocked. If I restore to factory settings will the iphone get locked to the carrier again.

It all depends on the definition of "factory unlocked". If the phone was purchased directly from Apple and the receipt says "Unlocked" then updating or restoring it will leave it unlocked (Apple never uses the term "factory unlocked" as there is no such thing; phones are unlocked at activation time). Similarly, if it had been locked to a carrier and the carrier authorized it to be unlocked, and you went through the unlocking steps they provided, it is permanently unlocked.
Unfortunately, a lot of the phones sold as "factory unlocked" were actually unlocked by hacking in the "factory" in the basement of some shop somewhere. These phones at best will become locked to the original carrier if restored, and in the worst case will be permanently disabled if restored. -

I downloaded ios 5 after backing up my ipad on the computer. Now there are no apps or movies on my ipad. They are on the computer in itunes but sync and restore do not put them back on the ipad. ideas?
iOS 7 devices need iTunes 11.1 or newer to sync. Depending upon your computer and the OS it is running, you may not be able to upgrade to iTunes 11.1 based on the requirements for iTunes 11.1. What computer and OS are you running your iTunes on? From the iTunes download pages I see the requiorements are:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Windows System Requirements
PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
400MB of available disk space

New Ipod Classic syncing problems, restoring problems
Hello,
Just got my 80gb Ipod Classic yesterday, and have had syncing problems, and now Itunes does not recognize it at all.
I'm using the latest version of Itunes (7.6.2.9)
Ipod Firmware 1.1.2 (or whatever the newest is)
Windows XP Pro
I'm a long-time user of a 5g 30gb Ipod and never have had issues like this. I am syncing to the same Itunes library as my old Ipod. Connecting my new Ipod Classic, I updated the firmware, and tried to sync. Halfway through the sync, I got an error. I disconnected the ipod and reset it. I tried syncing again, and again it would hang at some point, had to disconnect, and then it said my ipod had no music, but with 60gb free only. So obviously a database problem on the ipod and some mp3 files that my new ipod classic didn't like (though my old 5g ipod has no problem with this library).
Next, I connected and did a Restore.
I removed the culprit mp3 files from Itunes Library, attempted to sync again. Again, it would freeze at some point during sync. Had to disconnect Ipod while Itunes was frozen. Again, Ipod says has no music but with only about 60gb free.
So Ipod is corrupted again. The problem is when I connect it to my PC, Itunes no longer recognizes it, so I can't do a Restore. What do I do?Just wanted to post my results, for future users benefit:
Putting my Ipod into Disk Mode, connected to computer, Itunes recognized it, performed a Restore.
Still had syncing/freezing issues.
Decided that my Itunes library database was corrupted. Went into My Documents > My Music, and deleted the Itunes Folder, except for the containing Artwork Folder.
Have been rebuilding my Library from scratch since, and have had no syncing problems yet again.
Only problem is that in the outermost Podcast menu, it is always empty. The only conveninent way to access my Podcasts is to make a playlist and put them all in it. -
Ipod not recognized and Restore doesn't work
i have an ipod classic 160 GB, with disk mode enabled. When i connect it to the mac mini, it calls up iTunes. but then the message comes up that ipod can't be recognized. So i have restored it (using the latest updates, by connecting to the net) and then synced. During ejecting the ipod too, the proper procedure has been followed. However, at the end of all of it (i have 10000+ items in iTunes and it takes a LOOONG time to sync), when i try to use the disconnected ipod, it shows 'No Music', 'No Playlists', no this, no that...
I have also gone thru some other posts in this forum which suggested methods (such as getting ipod into disk mode and then connecting, trashing ipod software updates and reinstalling), to try to rectify the problem but there has been no difference And BTW, now i check, ipod shows 92 GB free (of the 160 GB). so what been copied, and where is it? or is the flash drive corrupted?
Pls HELP, as I need the ipod and my music
BTW, I think that this problem has become more pronounced since I installed the latest iTunes update (7.6.1)Try this...
*Checking hard-drive for errors*
Hold Menu+Select on the iPod for about 6 seconds until it resets, then hold Menu+Play as soon as the Apple logo appears, again for about 6 seconds to put the machine in disk mode. Connect to your computer, closing iTunes if it opens. Run *Disk Utility / Repair Disk* for the iPod. This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive. Once these have been fixed you can reset the iPod (hold Menu+Select ) and should stand a better chance of a successful restore.
Once you've restored your iPod don't rush to dump all the data back exactly as it was before. Complex smart playlists can sometimes trigger constant reboots or dumping of the iPod's library. In addition, larger transfers can fail leaving data in an inconsistent state. Try this technique for populating the iPod in stages.
*Break up large transfers*
In iTunes select the menu item *File... New Smart Playlist*. Change the first drop-down box to Playlist, the next to is and the next to Music. Tick against *Limit to*, type in say 10, then change the drop-down to GB, and set the last drop-down to artist. When you click OK you can enter a name for the playlist, e.g. Transfer. Now sync this playlist to your iPod rather than your entire library. When the sync is complete modify the rule ( *File... Edit playlist* ) to increase the size by your chosen amount, then sync and repeat. You can experiment with different size increments, if it doesn't work just choose something a bit smaller until it works each time. Before long you should have all your music on your iPod. Once that's done you can move on to other media such as podcasts, videos, photos etc.

Windows vista, sync and restore errors. I give up.
I have had continuous problems with my 8gb ipod touch, 2nd gen. I just returned one which I had had for 4 months during which it worked, but then I could not get it to restore and now have a new one and have the same problem. When I first got the new one , it would not sync it had a number of errors such as;
- Attempting to copy to the disk 'X' ipod failed. An error occurred while writing to the device.
-The ipod 'X' iod cannot be synced an error occurred while writing to the device.
-Required disk cannot be found.
-Also something about Apple Mobile Device
So I uninstalled itunes and all related programs and then reinstalled them.
I managed to get a few songs on to the ipod but they were distorted and the album art became chequered.
I then tried to restore it and have had more errors such as:
-The 'ipod' ipod could not be restored, an unknown error occurred (6).
-The 'ipod' ipod could not be restored, an unknown error occurred (14).
I have done all the things specified such as:
-Restarting the computer,
-Reinstalling Itunes,
-Using differnt USB ports on the computer,
-Removing the firewall, Zone Alarm,
-Removing everything from itunes.
Is it due to an itunes update possibly around june, that I have started experiencing problems.
Will I be able to fix it?
Any help would be appreciated, otherwise I shall return it and not bother with an ipod again.
Many ThanksI have exactly the same problem with my 8gb ipod touch 2nd gen and have tried everything you have with no success (see http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2531624&tstart=0)
It's definitely due to the itunes 9.2 update in June. I get the same itunes restore and sync errors you have on Windows Vista and Windows 7. It only starts restoring and syncing properly on Windows XP. I've tried downgrading to an itunes version that worked for me on Vista before, but Apple have updated the ipod touch firmware so that its not supported anymore by the earlier versions of itunes.
Apple phone support is a waste of time. They want to charge me £25 before they are interested in helping as they say my ipod is out of warranty - but its not the ipod that's broken, its the poorly written ITUNES, so why shouldn't I get free support for itunes even though my IPOD, which is perfectly fine, is out of warranty?!
Truth is, now apple has your money, they don't care... -
Ipod Touch - recovery and restore does not delete unknown Restrictions Code
Hi, I'm sure this has been answered hundreds of times already.
Having put into recovery and restored on numerous occasions, I find that ipod is still in '10 failed attempts' on wanting to enter passcode (whether it's Restrictions or Reset). All info i find says to recover/restore etc. and this will return to factory settings, but it isn't.
How can I get rid of this locked passcode please?Normally you should be able to put in a new passcode during this process:
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
copied from iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen -

Massive Sync and Restore Problem
When I went to sync my 5G iPod Video (version 1.2.1) to my iTunes (7.3.2.6 WinXP), it gave me the following error message "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." My iPod was never placed in recovery mode to begin with. I restored my iPod as requested, and I recieved the exact error mesge again. And I repeated this process once more, referred to the Support page, and nothing else seems to work. Now, my iPod has no media and will not sync. I have scanned all files for corruption, and none detected.
To let you know about my computer, I've been modifying the overall appearance to become Mac OS X Tiger. I wouldn't think this would effect this too much, since I haven't touched a single app.
HELP!!!!!!!You are caught in a restore loop. With the exception of your iPod (connected to a rear port), mouse and keyboard, disconnect from any network you are a part of and disconnect all other USB devices including external hard drives, thumb drives, modems, printers, scanners, etc. and change the drive letter of the iPod to something much higher, like M or P or Z:

HT1384 My Ipod Classic syncs and charges, but stops charging once it's done syncing.
I just got a new laptop with Windows 8 and downloaded the new itunes on it. My Ipod classic syncs fully and while syncing charges the battery, but when the syncing ends so does the charging of the battery. Is there a setting I need to fix in Itunes?
Thank you!I did the restart with holding the center and menu and then I reset my computer all of which did nothing. any other ideas?
