Ipod Error message 1418

Does anyone know how to fix Error 1418 iPod Corrupt ? I try using different USB hubs, turning the Computer off, re-intalling the Itunes. Both of my Ipod work find with my HP laptop ( Windows XP program ). I recently bought a new HP Desktop. I needed more room for my music and a faster computer. I downloaded iTunes to my desktop and tranfer all my music from my Laptop. I connected my iPods to my new computer and all i keep getting is this 1418 error, corrupt Ipod. I was able to get one of the Ipod to start down loading the music but in the middle of the sync it just stop and gave me the same error. I disconnect the iPod and try connecting it again and the same 1418 error came again. I try intalling the original Ipod CD that came with the iPod so I could use the iPod updater program. Upon downloading the program I try using it to restore the iPod but all I got was a Invalid Ipod service version.

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: Error 1415, 1417, 1418, or 1428 when restoring or updating an iPod in iTunes 7 or later

Help! error message 'The IPod cannot be restored' error message 1418

basically the last time I tried to sync my ipod i had run out of memory. I went back and deleted some of the playlists and then why i tried to sync it wouldn't let me because some of the playlists had changed.
I then restored the settings on my IPOD and realised how to change the settings in ITUNES.
Every time i connect my ipod it says cannot sync re the playlists when I go in and then change them and click on sync it doesn't seem to be able to pick up the connection.
when i tried to restore to factory settings got the message cannot be restored error 1418... Any ideas anyone?
Many thanks

Sad faced Ipod error message (click wheel ipod classic)

I've had the sad faced ipod error message with my ipod before and forcing into disk mode has always solved it before.
It's not showing up in itunes or my computer when I connect it to my laptop.
I have tried forcing it into disk mode time and time again and about one time out 40 it will go into disk mode. The problem comes when I then plug into the computer to restore it. It will start telling me do not disconnect then give me the error message of a battery with little power left.
It is definatly charged because I have been trying to get it into disk mode all day and on the occasions I've managed to get there it will tell me i have 3quarters or so battery remaining. However when I am plugging it into the docking station it isnt coming up to say its charging it just goes over and over with the apple logo then the sad faced ipod message.
I have tried 4 different usb cables and 2 different chargers.
Its driving me mad and any help would be greatly appreciated. I dont want my ipod to be dead.

I have been using that page, I was hoping that as id managed to get it into disk mode a few times that it might not be a harware issue.
Its about 2 years out of warrenty so a service will probably cost the same as a new one

Error message 1418

Hi there, I am currently stuck in a cycle of restoring my iPod, and not getting very far as each time I get a message saying "unable to restore iPod error 1418". I have tried the fix recommended in this article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304996
but I still get exactly the same message. Any ideas??

Windows Vista: Ipod Error Message, no longer read by PCs

Hello,
I have a 5th generation black ipod video with 30GB of memory.
The other day I hooked it up to my laptop (Toshiba, 4 months old) that it's been functioning on with no problems whatsoever. This weird error message flashed twice about it not being able to sync because of some software problem.
Eversince then, the only thing I can charge my ipod on is the family treadmill in the basement (~_~) as no other computer in the house recognizes it. I can't even charge it through the wall sockets, either.
I have changed the ipod cord, still no luck. I've also reset the device about 3 or 4 times and uninstalled, restarted the laptop then reinstalled itunes. I would like to reset it back to factory settings but that's impossible as computers/laptops don't pick it up. I live very far from a Mac store...
What's a girl to do? I can't live without my Busta Rhymes and Wu-Tang Clan!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

you have to update Vista go to this site and up-date http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

IPod Error Message: "The disk could not be read from or written to."

Hello!
I was syncing my sister's video iPod (30GB) and this error message pops up "Attempting to copy to the disk. "SARAH'S IPO" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I have restored it three times already, but once it starts putting the music and files back onto the iPod it pops up with that error message. I have updated to the latest version of iTunes and iPod software available. My OS is Windows XP.
Is this something serious? Will I be able to fix it myself or will I need to send it in to be fixed by Apple? Will that be expensive? We didn’t get the Apple replacement plan. D=
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. ^_^
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3) 15" PowerBook 1.5 GHz PowerPC G4, 1.5GB RAM - Windows XP with iPod 5 Generation

Okay I went thru that entire list and here's what I got...
(1) My OS is XP and is running fine.
(2) I've updated my windows
(3) I don't know of any software that might be interfering.
(4) There are no damaged files.
(5) My Windows hard-drive is not damaged and I've tried restoring my iPod's disk thru iTunes but it still doesn't work.
(6) I don't have an iPod photo and I can't find the folder to delete the cache if if I did.
(7) The USB cord is firmly connected into my USB port and my iPod
(8) My music is on my external hard-drive so I need to keep 3rd-party hardware connected
(9) I will try another USB cord to see if that works.
Is there anything else that I can do? Can Apple fix this?
Please let me know.

Can't sync iPod - Error Message: "disc cannot be read from or written to"

My ipod had been working fine until recently when every time I try and sync it I get the following error message:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to"
I have tried all suggestions in Apple's support article for this issue but nothing works. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to solve it?
Thanks a lot.

Hi all,
I am sorry to report that I too have this same disc error problem when syncing my iPod to my iTunes library. I take no comfort in knowing that I am one of many that have this same error. I checked on the iPod lounge forum and I just couldn't count the number of users that had the same problem. There are just so many!
I too have tried "5 r's" and I have also tried using a few "s" words and others...lol.
It seems like there is no "fix" for this problem but I will say this: If there is no solution, then I will no longer be buying iPods. This is my third iPod that I have purchased. Which makes my Apple investment near the thousand dollar mark. That is way too much money spent to not have a functioning music player. I will be switching to another player to see if the grass is greener on the other side.
I have been most dissappointed with this error and I will not be "recycling" this iPod for ten percent off of my next iPod purchase.

Getting back the "this file cannot be played on an iPod" error message

Apparently, my iTunes library contains some song files that are out-of-spec and unplayable on an iPod. When I first plugged in my iPod, I remember getting a message to the effect of "The file 'FOO' was not copied to the iPod 'BAR' because this file cannot be played on an iPod." This message repeated for several dozen files before I got annoyed and clicked the "Do not show me this message again" checkbox.
Well, now I want to go through my iTunes library and clean up these incompatible files, so I WANT to see these error messages again. Is there any way, perhaps by mucking with the iTunes plist file, of getting them back?
Any and all help appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
I am need of help! I have had this issue for a while now and it's becoming frustrating.

I have followed all the trouble shooting tips and am still stuck? I am now being told by a friend I need a link sent to me to fix this??

Hi
So just close iTunes and re-open iTunes thats it and that worked for you?
When you say reset your settings do you mean to factory settings? As my iPod was swapped at the store for a new one and the problem is still there...
Thanks.

Can't mount iPod error message

Hi, I am trying to fix a feezing problem on my iPod (on startup the display shows a folder with an exclamation mark) and was trying to do a factory restore on it when I ran into the following error messages.
Installing the latest version of Updater, I tried connecting the iPod and then saw a Windows error message that said:
Cannot Install this Hardware
There was a problem installing this hardware
Apple iPod USB Device
An error occurred during the installation of the device
The specified service does not exist as an installed service
After seeing this error message, Updater then displayed the next error message:
Can't mount iPod
Can someone suggest how I can fix this so the iPod is recognized and I can have Updater restore the factory settings?
Thanks in advance,

ITunes/iPod error Message

Each time I connect my iPod to my computer I get the following error message
"There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive G:" Has anyone seen this error message as well and been able to fix?
Help is appreciated.

Well, first I'd update to the latest edition of iTunes (again). Might as well.
Then just drag the folder with all of your tunes into the program's main window. iTUnes should then show all of your music.
Now this is important:
Confirm that iTunes has all of your music. The next step is irreversible!
Once the music in iTunes, plug the iPod in. It'll ask you about replacing its contents with iTunes', which should no longer bother you. Hit Yes.

Corrupted ipod error message

I've had my ipod for about 3 years, and I haven't really had any problems. Knock on wood.
I downloaded the newer version of itunes, and synced my ipod to it. Now my ipod has no music in it, and there is an error message that pops up when I plug it in that says my ipod is corrupted.
Is that bad? Also, what can I do to fix it?

This link did not fix my problem. I have the same problem ( to be called the Corrupted, restore loop)and spent 2 hours on with a product specialist, level two support and they could not fix it. They point the blame on my laptop. But my laptop works fine. any suggestions on how to fix this would be great
