IPod Shuffle 1418 Restore Error

I am trying to restore the IPOD to it's original settings, to no avail. I get the dreaded 1418 error. Also, the drive spaces on the shuffle is way off. I plugged it into another computer, did the math, and it's very off. i changed the drive letter, restarted and still nothing. my last step will be to format it, but, wanted to be sure to do that.
I've uninstalled iTunes as well
Suggestions?

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

    my ipod nano wont restore ~ error 1433 what to do

    Hi, got the same problem as kerry221. The proposal given by stevejobsfan0123 did not solve it.
    Additionally iMac does not shut down after closing iTunes. Need to manually shut down the iMac.
    Problem occurred after last software update.
    Open for any further proposal :-)

  • My ipod won't restore,error 6. I would really appreciate any advice,please

    I bought a new ipod touch 8gb, 2nd gen 5 months ago, Its always had a few problems whilst syncing like itunes crashing but now I cannot restore it, I have tried so many times I have lost count, 'ipod cannot be restored error 6' keeps on coming up every single time I try to restore it.
    I have windows vista, could that be why its not working, Ive tried:
    -Deleting the ipod software on the computer,
    -Disabling the firewall,
    -Different usb ports,
    -Restarting the computer...
    I don't know what to do, I really appreciate any advice at all as to why it's doing this and how to fix it, I've read the apple support pages but they do not help.
    Many thanks, I look forward to hearing from someone, anyone soon

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

    Master reset...? Your device was jailbroken prior to you purchasing the device. The only symbol you should see on reboot is an Apple symbol. Download redsnow... google it! Download the latest version and your IPSW (ipod restore firmware) it has to be the correct version. And the "just boot tethered" should fix your device.
    But that's only if you didnt back the device up. If you don't care about any of the data on the ipod then you can simply open itunes navigate to the device and click the restore button. This will restore the ipod firmware and install a fresh copy. Good luck let me know if you have any problems.

  • 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

  • IPod Shuffle Service Request Error???!!!

    Hey all, I'm sending my iPod Shuffle back to apple because it's no longer recognized by iTunes of my PC and it no longer charges either. So I entered all my info on the onlince service request page, credit card, shipping address, etc. Then after I hit the last step, I got 2 "SQL Server" errors or something that popped up, but the page with my case number and dispatch number, etc. still loaded. So what I'm asking is, did Apple really get all my info, because if this SQL server error message popped up didn't send all my data, I'll be charged $169 (I CANNOT AFFORD THIS!) right? So I guess I wait and see if I get an email from Apple, but any help would be appreciated, $169 is far too much for me at the moment

  • ATTENTION!! If your ipod shuffle is having errors read this solution!!

    Hi,
    Hello Folks, I have experienced countless errors with my ipod shuffle, and for a while I thought about ditching it altogether. Finally I found the solution. And this solution ALWAYS works for me (Worked on three of my shuffles so far):
    *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.

    I have a brand new iPod shuffle, and I'm trying to connect it and download music from itunes. I've been getting the "iPod cannot be synced", "the required disk cannot be found", and "cannot be restored; an unknown error occured (1418)".
    In reading Apple's solution to the 1418 error message, they tell you to "highlight all 10 lines of text that begins with regsvr32..." Where do I find such text to highlight? I can follow the rest of their instruction, but don't know where to find such .dll text lines. Please help.
    My next step will be to try your solution of "stopping the iPod service". But, will I be lead through the steps on how to "format it so all content is gone" once it shows up in "my computer"?
    Thank you for your help.

  • I tried to set up my new ipod shuffle and a error message popped up saying Ipod not found cannot update.  I can't sync my ipod now but it is showing on itunes.  What should I do?

    I bought a new 4th gen ipod shuffle and tried to sdet it up last night.  I installed the latest itunes software and started to sync my ipod, but error boxes kept popping up saying ipod not found cannot sync.  It was showing in itunes, then it would disappear, then it would come back.  I am not very good with computers so I don't know what to do.  Can someone help?

    Do you have an iCloud backup?  If you backed up your old phone to iCloud you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Erast All Content & Settings (which will erase your phone), then go back through the setup screens again and when prompted choose Restore From iCloud Backup.  However your backup won't contain everything in your iTunes library (such as your music) so you'll need to be able to sync with your computer unless you purchased everything from iTunes and want to redownload it to your phone.

  • HT1238 ipor shuffle will not reset. error message: do not have enough access for this operation. Tried ipod shuffle reset utility, error message: intended for 32 bit windows version. This 4th gen ipod shuffle is junk.

    why cant this reset?

    That old "Reset Utility" is ONLY for the 1st and 2nd gen iPod shuffle, which had some issues that prevented using the standard Restore in iTunes, so Apple release that utility.  It was released when Windows XP was the latest version of Window; it does not work with Windows 7.   But it would not help you if your shuffle is 4th gen.
    When you say "reset," are you trying to do a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes, from the shuffle's Summary tab?  When does that error message appear, exactly?

    "There was an error communicating with iPod. Please disconnect and reconnect iPod. Disregard the "Do not disconnect" message on iPod´s screen."
    When I connect ipod on computer the status light blinks green and amber quickly.
    The status light blinks amber when connected on usb port.
    I tried with a ipod updater most recent.
    I tried with other computer.
    Sorry for the poor English.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I recommend return this iPod shuffle and get a new one. If the store refuses to take it back then send it to apple at http://depot.info.apple.com/ipodshuffle/

    Note: If you get a new one from the store check before you take it home

  • IPod Won't Restore Error 3194

    The iPod won't restore an when i try to restore my iPod in comes up with the Error 3194, from what i can call the error apppears when it says verfiying with apple i have tried changing host, no luck.

    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
