does anyone know how to solve this problem?
I want my ipod mini back.

  • Iphone4 would not restore Error -50. I have tried to restore and it restored it to the point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out.

    Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????

    It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
    Here is what I have tried...
    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting. I have moved it around to different ports.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.Used the Microsoft fix it.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online. Doesn't matter.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this.

  • Help iPhone 4s could not restore (error 1) - stuck in recovery mode

    I thought I had successfully converted from iPhone 3g to 4s could not connect to att phone service.  To reinstall, I reset to iPhone 4s to restore factory settings. software downloaded successfully, but after install completes I get a message that iPhone 4s could not restore (error 1).  Followed by message that iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and that I can restore original setting bu clicking Restore.  Doing that reats the problem  After 10 attempts, I am frustrated.  Itunes no longer shows capacity, software version or serial number for iPhone .  Lists those as n/a.  Need help

    Unfortunately the restore did not solve the connectivity problem, but it made it even worse. The phone was not connecting to the carrier at all, constantly showing "Searching...". I tried another restore, this time it failed on three different computers (one of them was a fresh iTunes installation)... Strange, that it worked once.
    @Unshaven: Multiple combinations of Power and Home button did not work either. Seems to be bricked now. I think I have to return it to Apple ...
    Btw. Windows iTunes showes some log errors like 'getenv radio-error' failed and DoesDriverNameMatchDeviceID failed.
    Any ideas welcome also regarding the issue of loosing connectivity to the carrier...

  • Unable to restore my 5th gen ipod video (unknown error 1418)

    going through, listening to a regular album on my ipod speakers, as i usually do, my ipod just abruptly freezes after the end of one song. upon reseting, i was presented with the apple logo upon a black background, as usual, and then a white screen saying "connect to your computer. use itunes to restore." in four different languages. from there it switches itself off. when i try to turn it back on, it does the same.
    i connected it to the computer to do as it suggested, where it proceeds to freeze my computer for up to 10 minutes, until the ipod does appear in itunes. when i try to restore it however, im presented with an error stating 'an unknown error has occurred. error 1418', or something to that effect.
    so following the apple website's instructions, i updated itunes to 7.6, and tried again to no avail. i tried a different usb port, reregistered .dll files, and updated my windows USB drivers, but this has changed nothing.
    can anybody suggest any other factors that are stopping me restoring. i have accepted the fact that i will need to restore it, its just a matter of now completing that task.
    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    One possible cause is a drive conflict...
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

    Note the seventh symptom where it keeps needing to be restored.

  • Ipod touch stuck in recovery mode and will not restore. error code 3194

    ipod touch stuck in recovery mode, will not restore and comes up with error code 3194, itunes is up to date, please help

    Hi @rchangel - Thanks for the ideas...
    Yes - it won't let you install the 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine.
    I've had a cursory look at the SP1 release notes, and couldn't spot anything vital - what critical stuff do you know of in SP1?
    I don't want to have to go through all the pain of setting up VM's, reinstalling iTunes, getting all my album art back in etc. (though I could, as I do have Win7 pro). I've also heard that running iTunes in Windows 7 compatibility mode might help. Can anyone confirm whether that actually works?
    I think it's in Apple's gift to fix this issue, given that they say that they support Windows 7. So far I've had no feedback from a mail I sent to Apple, and the number of users reporting this problem keeps going up and up.
    I want Apple to recognise that there is a problem, and then I want them to fix it.

  • 80GB Classic not restoring, error code 1439

    My IPOD was working fine yesterday and I connected it to my comp. to sync and Itunes stated that my IPOD was corrupt and I needed to restore my IPOD. So I opted to do so, and now I am getting an error code 1439 and my IPOD will not restore, it will not turn on, it is not doing ANYTHING now. Does anyone know what I need to do? Please help!
    Thanks

    the error can mean 1 or many things. hopefully its just a software issue or hardware issue other than the ipod itself such as the computer or cable. here is a good tutorial video i found on how to possibly fix it.

  • HELP.  IPOD not restoring!

    Hi any help would be ever so appreciated.
    Saturday on way round supermarket my Ipod stalled and couldn't turn on or off, and basically crashed.
    I have tried my best to troubleshoot it to work again.
    Fistly I have installed iTunes 7.2
    Then I reset the Ipod (1st Gen Nano) by holding "Menu" and "Middle".
    I plugged it in to iTunes and got message; "itunes has detected an ipod tat may be corrupted. You may need to restore the ipod before it ca be used with iTunes. You may also try to disconnecting and reconnecting the ipod".
    So I click restore on the iTunes options and get the message "there was a problem downloading the ipod sofware for "ipod" the requested resource was not found.
    The last message only appeared recently - before that I would get the ipod restored to factory setting and then plug it in and still get told the ipod was corrupt!
    Please help me - my life is emptier without my trusty nano!

    The message you're getting means that iTunes cannot find the iPod to restore it. You may have to re-register some digital drivers on the computer.
    Try this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304996
    This article re-registers 10 digital drivers that iTunes and the iPod use, and fixes multiple errors.
    If that doesn't work, try unplugging all other USB interference you may have plugged in (USB printer, scanner, external hard drive, etc). If that doesn't work, you may want to try a selective startup (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538).

  • 30 GB 5th Gen iPod Not Restoring

    Yesterday I was about 20 minutes into a 2 hour trip and I pulled off at a rest stop. I had my iPod plugged into my Belkin charger and when I turned the car off, the iPod paused. When I turned the car back on, the iPod stayed paused and then reset itself and displayed the sad iPod. When I got home I connected my iPod and iTunes said I needed to restore it, but it couldn't restore. It hasn't been able to at all, and I'm tempted to format the thing in Disk Utility and try again. It generates error 1418.

    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

  • Shuffle not working: error 1418

    Hi,
    I have had this error several times. In fact I've had others. And this solution ALWAYS works for me:
    *Note - You MUST follow the steps in order!!
    1. Disconnect the iPod from the computer.
    2.Then go to "start> right click my computer>
    manage> services and applications> services> click iPod service> click stop service."
    3.Then connect the ipod and it should show up in my computer. Format it so all content is gone.
    4.Next, go back to "start> right click my computer>manage> services and applications> services> click iPod service> click Start service."
    5.This should have the service running again. Open iTunes and connect the shuffle.
    6.When it says to automatically fill it (the window that pops up) dont unclick it,
    7.proceed so the shuffle autofills. Before it stops, quickly go to the settings tab.
    8.Then, scroll down to where it says "enable disk use".
    9.select that and hit apply. Now, you manually eject the iPod and you can manage your music!
    I had the same problem and several others as you and this eliminated the problem! I hope that helped. Can't take credit for this one. Someone else posted this a while back, but it works.
