  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Apple tv not restoring error code 38

    So i have tried abouut 100 times now restoring my apple tv. I was prompted to download the new software. I tried and then it said to plug it in to itunes. So I did that and hit restore. It goes through the whole process bt when it gets to verify it gives me a error code of 38. I have tried going to factory settings. same error. I am currently on a windows 7 machine. I have restarted twice. I have switched usb ports. I have tried everything that I can think of. Please Help!!!!!! It is currently a brick because when I plug it in now it says to go to itunes. I live in amarillo and there are no apple stores.

    A few people have reported that deleting the iTunes application and re-installing it can resolve this problem. Also make sure you have the latest version of Bonjour installed on your PC.

  • My touch will not restore, error code 1600.

    I have not used it in about a year since getting my iphone. I am not sure what generation it is but I have had it for about 3 years. I do not have any security software on my compter and everything is updated. I am using a macbook pro.
    HELP!

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

  • Unknown Error Code 1418

    I just got my 80GB iPOD Classic yesterday. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, transfered about 1.43GB of songs to realize that:
    1. My iPOD has frozen, I can't even switch it off
    2. I can only re-set it and it goes back to the iPOD menu screen.
    3. Some times it re-starts on its own a couple of times before getting to this screen.
    4. I tried to re-store default factory settings through iTunes, it did download and istall the lastest version of iPOS software (version 1.0) but it always gives me an error code of 1418 while trying to restore ("unexpected error occured while trying to restore, error code 1418)
    PLEASE HELP, I AM DYING TO ENJOY MY IPOD.

    put your ipod in disc mode and you'll probably be able to restore it (restart, then hold the centre and play buttons until it goes into disc mode)
    connect it and restore it with itunes, then restart again to get out of disc mode
    Good luck

  • TS1372 I replaced the hard drive, motherboard, and battery but now can not restore my Ipod 5th gen?  Error code 1416, any help?

    I replaced the hard drive, motherboard, and battery but now can not restore my Ipod 5th gen?  Error code 1416, any help?

    When I did a Google search on "1416 error ipod 5th," there is some discussion that the earlier version of the logic board only accepted 30 and 60 GB drives (or words to that effect), but the later "5.5" version did allow larger capacity drives.  If that info is true, the question is, do you have a compatible combination of logic board and hard drive?

  • IPod Touch 1st Gen 1013 Restore Error Code

    So I have my iPod touch that I treat with the utmost care and it got stuck in the apple logo on startup. I tried restoring in the iTunes(hold home button and plug in USB) and DFU mode and I always get the 1013 error code. So yesterday I brought it into the Apple Store and they attempted to restore it and it gave them the 1013 error code. He told me that it was a generic error code and it would cost $250 to get a new 3rd Gen iPod Touch, which isn't a very ideal result. So I spent some time thinking about this and I thought why is it my problem that Apple can't fix their iPod especially if it's a generic error code. I take great care of my iPod and have nothing wrong so why should I be paying $250 for a new one? So today I called Apple Care support and after complaining to them they told me that the $250 would be the cost to *JUST REFURBRISH IT!* So I said "so if I am going to pay $250 dollars then shouldn't I just buy a new 32GB 3rd Gen iPod Touch?" The man said he agreed with me and that he was sorry there was nothing else he could do. I then asked if there was a way to see if the iPod had a software or hardware error and he asked if the genius at the store had run a diagnostics test. I said no because all I had was a restore done and I was sent on my way. He said that the store should have run a diagnostics test because it was protocol. So now I have to go back into the Apple Store and get a diagnostics test run on my iPod because the initial genius didn't follow protocol and just insisted that the iPod touch had a hardware failure so it was out of warranty. I highly doubted it was a hardware failure because restoring the firmware is a software issue. And nobody can give me solid facts why it's not, other than the genius thinking he really is a "genius" and telling me it's not because he didn't follow protocol.
    So tell me what else you think I should do other than get the diagnostics test run. Any comments or input would be much appreciated.
    My overall goal would be to have my iPod replace or fixed for free because that would be the reasonable thing to do. Especially because all the trouble Apple has cause me thus far.

  • Error Code 1418?

    I know I'm new here, but I don't care right now.
    I need somebody to tell me what Error Code 1418 is.
    I'm using a fifth-generation iPod Video, 30 gig.
    After an impact, which involved my iPod falling off my desk, when I updated it, the update failed, and the computer couldn't identify it.
    If I know what Error Code 1418 means, then I can tell whether if I should scrap my iPod or get it repaired.
    Thanks for your help, everyone.

    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 :-)
