IPod 5G is dead. Error 1418. Any suggestions?

Hi all, my iPod is dead and I would like to to first aid.
My screen is in black and white mode, the battery is full.
The screen shows the apple logo then it says "connect to your computer to restore...". After secons there is the hook "OK to disconnect". Well that isn´t really helping.
The iPod does sometimes appear on iTunes, then I try to restore and after seconds I get error 1418. It also appears on disc utilities, I try to format the ipod but I tried already for many hours, no progress.
I have no more idea what to do and need your support!
Thanks guys!

My iPhone is in recovery mode, But once it's done with the process a tab comes up saying there was something wrong restoring it (1015) error. Any suggestions of how I could fix this?

Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
In other words:
The backup to which you're trying to restore was created with a lower or previos version of iOS than the one installed on your iPhone during the recovery. If this is the case then you'll be unable to restore your phone with that backup and you'll have to set your iPhone up as new. Or,
Your iPhone was/is jailbroken. If this is the case, there is nothing anyone here or at Apple can do for you.

I cannot open the general pane in system preferences. I get a message saying there is an error. Any suggestions?

The first thing I would suggest is for you to go to the folder containing your catalog, using your system browser. There will be a folder that has the extension .lrdata. Delete that folder, and then try to start Lightroom. If that doesn't work, replace your catalog with your most recent backup.

Hi keciakh,
To try and get the paper to feed, with a flashlight or other bright light, please check the paper feed area of the printer and verify that there are no paper jams or obstructions in the printer that may be causing the error. Once this has been done, please look inside of the printer where the inks are located and ensure that there are no obstructions in there that may be causing the print head not to move freely. Next, please remove and reseat all of the ink tanks in the printer. Once all of these steps have been performed, please follow the steps below to perform a roller cleaning on the printer:

Well, there is always the possibility that it's been jailbroke, in which case, you're out of luck. However...

Ok actually my mistake it says "an error occurred during activation. try again" I spoke with apple tech support right now and she mentioned they are having trouble with there servers. Do you by any chance know what the restrictions area means? Should that be activated or deactivated, does that make a difference?

Without even knowing if Apple's DRM would permit this, if you are in the U.S. then that's copyright infringement.

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?

Looking for a free iPod to iTunes music transfer utility, any suggestions

Looking for a FREE utility that will allow me to transfer music from my iPod to my iTunes. I recently purchased a new notebook PC that I recently download a fgresh installation of iTunes. Now I need to transfer my music stored in my iPod to iTunes. I find many free transfer utilities on the internet that allow you to only transfer a couple of songs, not your whole iPod. Any suggested freeware utilities would be appreciated.

If you enable your iPod for disk use, you should be able to do this without utilities (unless iTunes checks for this kind of thing). See, all of your music is stored (with garbled filenames) under <D:/iPod_Control/Music/> (where "D" is your iPod). So if you use iTunes's "Add Folder to Library" on the "iPod_Control/Music" folder, it should import your iPod files.
So do this,
1. Set Windows to show hidden files and folders, if it isn't already. There are plenty of guides for this on Google.
2. Open iTunes.
3. Enable disk use on your iPod, if you haven't already.
4. Go to File > Add Folder to Library....
5. In the Open Folder dialog box, navigate to your iPod.
6. Go into the iPod_Control folder.
7. Select the Music folder. Click OK.
Note that on Windows, the iPod_Control folder (and its contents) are hidden, so you need to set Windows to show hidden files and folders.
