Ipod Nano Error 1417 Tried and won;t work

I've tried looking through the restart method, the disconnect and reconnect method, and nothing works. My Ipod Nano is Ver. 1.0, and the update process does not pop up with a dialogue box, all it does is 'updating' but it's really doing nothing, help?

are you still at an itunes version 7.0.0.70, Chang?
to check, go "help > about itunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen.
if you've still got a 7.0.0.70, first try an upgrade to 7.0.1.8:
iTunes 7.0.1.8 Installer
if you still get the 1417 when using 7.0.1.8, let's get your iPod Updater logs to the Apple engineers for a look.
Open this folder:
C:\Documents and Setings\yourusername\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Updater Logs
(You may need to show hidden files in order to see the Application Data folder. Open up My Computer, and in the Tools menu, choose "Folder Options..." Then go to the View tab, and then in the "Advanced settings", select "Show hidden files and folders.")
Send the files inside the iPod Updater logs folder as attachments to this email address.
In the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing

  • Can't update ipod nano: errors 1417 and 1428

    I bought my 4gb iPOD nano a month or so ago and initially it worked perfectly. For the last week when I plug it in to my PC iTunes detects it and lists what's on it but won't update it or write to it in any way: it variously gives me error numbers 1417 and 1428. Bizzarely I can copy files onto it absolutely fine through Windows. I can't even restore it to factory settings since I can't write anything to it! Help!
    Thanks very much

    Restore to factory settings.new iPod if you have not yet already. If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • 6th gen ipod nano has white screen and won't go into disc mode

    My ipod nano has a white screen - it will play music, and it is recognized by itunes. It won't enter disc mode. I can't seem to find any other helpful steps to follow online other than put it into disc mode and restore it via itunes. When I attempt to put it into disc mode holding power/Vol down together the screen will turn back, but when I then hold down Vol down/Vol up together while the screen is dark it just goes back to white screen. I did plug it into the computer and restore it via itunes, and the screen is still white.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    Hi LizS5,
    It sounds as if you have already done much of the troubleshooting suggested in this article, but I would suggest you work through it in order to get your iPod nano back up and running -
    iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3474
    Specifically -
    Try putting the iPod into disk mode:
    Reset the device (press the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black—about eight seconds).
    When the display turns black, hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk mode.
    While the device is in disk mode, sync it to iTunes and try to restore.
    And if the issue is not resolved -
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • Help -- iPod Nano loses charge quickly and won't start up

    When I don't use the iPod for a few days and then try to start it up, it won't turn on at all. The only way I can get it to work is to connect it to the computer. It also seems to lose its charge quickly. I sent it back to have it checked out and I was told it worked fine, but I continue to have the same problems. I'm stuck. Any suggestions? Would Restore help?

    A restore may help.
    How are you trying to turn it on though?

  • IPod Shuffle seen as iPod Nano in iTunes 6 and won't load music

    I had iPod shuffle linked to one computer, then changed computers. Tried loading iPod software from installation disc and iTunes 6 then looking at iPod. Initially got message indicating that iPod was linked to another computer - did I want to change link to this computer? I clicked 'YES' and all was well...until I tried the iPod updater. Following that my iPod Shuffle was recognized as an iPod Nano and would not accept any music through iTunes. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling software multiple times with no success. I am still able to use iPod with old computer, but those days are numbered... Need some suggestions to remedy this. Thank you.

    those symptoms can sometimes be caused by a Windows drive letter confusion. are the techniques from this document of any help with that?
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • IPod Nano turns itself on, and won't stay off

    Hi, everybody!
    I've had my iPod Nano for about two years now, and have noticed this problem occasionally, but it usually goes away and it has never been this bad.
    Here is one scenario: I turn my iPod off by holding the play button. The screen fades to black. I move to set my iPod down, and it immediately lights up again. I press and hold the play button, but instead of turning off, the iPod begins to play music. I pause the song and press and hold again. The iPod fades to black, but again lights up the minute I move my hand.
    Here is another scenario: the iPod has been off for several hours. Suddenly, it lights itself up. I pick it up and turn it off, but it again continues to light up as it sits on the desk.
    This, of course, runs down the battery--I've had to charge my iPod every day for the past few days because it kills itself, waking up over and over when I'm not around to turn it off again. I'm used to only needing to charge it every few days.
    I've tried setting the hold switch once I do get it to sleep, but all that means is that I then have to take it out of hold again a few seconds later to turn it off when it lights itself up. I've restarted over and over, but it keeps happening. I've also recently restored it, with no results. I don't have any alarms set, and there is nothing on my iPod but music and album artwork--no calendar, etc.
    It seems to do this most when I am moving around the room. I'm wondering if, somehow, it has become hyper-sensitive and is waking up because it thinks it's being touched? (That sounds so creepy.) It also wakes up instantly if I touch the USB port on the bottom. But of course it also must do this when I'm not around, because often I'll come into the room to find the battery 50% lower than it was when I left. (And I'm the only one who uses my iPod.)
    As I said, this has happened before over the two years of its life, but over the past three days or so, it has become nearly constant. I haven't dropped the iPod, it hasn't gotten wet, I haven't done anything unusual with it, so I am at a loss to explain the sudden recurrence of the issue.
    I'd appreciate any kind of help!

    For some reason, my ipod nano 2nd generation, doesn't play music through one of the headphones. i tried several pairs of headphones. but just one will work. any suggestions? obviously out of warranty

    You'll need to replace the headphone jack in the Nano, you can send it off to a 3rd party repair site (http://www.iresq.com) or buy the part and do it yourself (http://www.ifixit.com).

  • Ipod nano displays apple icon and doesn't work

    I bought this nano as a gift (I already have an identical one). There were no problems syncing the content and registering the device, but once it is disconnected from the system, if you navigate to a song on the device and hit "[play", the screen goes black and will only display an apple icon.
    I returned the first one thinking it's a hardware issue, but the replacement is doing the exact same thing, leading me to believ it is a setting or software issue. I got the replacement in a completely different Best Buy too, just to try and get one from a different batch. Any ideas what's going on?

    Make sure you are using the latest version of iTunes and the Ipod's firmware is up to date.
    Make sure the "screen lock" is not set to on. Make sure the hold button at the top of iPod Nano is in the "off" position.

  • IPod nano got wiped, now it won't work on my iTunes

    Hi, I went home for the holidays, got a new CD and attempted to put it on my iPod at my parent's house using their iTunes. After the attempt, my iPod got totally wiped, all the music is completely gone. So I restored it. Now that I am back home, when I connect it to my iTunes, it recognises it, but it won't let me drag any music from my iTunes to myiPod.....so I can't put any music on it!!! What do I do??

    Connect your iPod and make sure that the "manually manage songs and videos" box in the Summary tab is checked. Your iPod has most likely defaulted to auto-sync after the restore. Check the box and click Apply, you should be able to drag songs to the iPod after that: Managing content manually on iPod
