  • IPod stuck in recovery mode, won't restore, "Unknown Error 1430"

    Hi, I have a 160gb iPod classic, and I've had minimal problems with it in the past. I can safely say that it's my favorite MP3 player out there. I did have one before that overheated or something like that, and I was given a replacement one. But, within a day of having this brand new iPod, I was listening to it at work and the music stopped all of the sudden. I pulled it out of my pocket and the screen had the Apple logo that you see when you restart it, only the background had blue, white, and gray on it, instead of the typical gray background. I restarted it and it told me to restore it with iTunes. After I connected it to my Mac, it told me it detected an iPod in recovery mode and that it needed to be restored. Anytime I click restore though, shortly after it extracts the software, it says it's restoring and then gives me an error message telling me it can't be restored. I got several numbers at first, and one error message telling me that it couldn't be unmounted, but now it's consistently giving me the Unknown Error 1430. I tried restoring on a PC, and formatting it as well, but neither worked. iTunes is up to date on both of them, and I've reinstalled it several times on each. I would rather not take it to the store to get it replaced again. Any help?

  • No matter what I do I cannot restore ipod classic. Ipod is corrupt with unknown error 1439.cannot restore the ipod Have tried all options but . can anyone help?

    I recently bought a second-hand ipod classic.  When connecting to itunes the message reads that the ipod is corrupt and needs to be restored to factory settings.  However, this does not solve the issue and I get the message saying unable to restore, unknown error 1439.  No matter what i have tried through apple support i get the same result.  My computer runs Windows XP but I have also tried on my laptop which operates Vista and still no joy.  Anyone able to solve this one?

    Normally unknown error is due to timeout, cause by
    connected to slow USB port at the front of the PC, or using USB Hubs - Better connect to the USB HUb at the back of the PC. (Some Laptop, has only one High Power -USB2.0 port
    USB resource low, due to sharing of other USB devices - Disconnect all other USB devices when Restoring.
    Winsocks conflict with iTunes - Disconnect Internet and Stop firewall and Antivirus, emails apps.
    Your hardisk is dying, read this earlier post by tt2.

    This wont solve your problem. but is very helpful in troubleshooting.
    It would also help, if you can state
    Which version of iTunes are your running?
    What is your iPod software version as shown in the iTunes summary page?
    Have a nice day!

  • I found my brother's old 1st generation iPod. An unknown error 1442 keeps appearing every time I try to restore the iPod.

    Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

    Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
    1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
    4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
    5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
    6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

  • HT1339 My ipod won't restore. It keeps coming up with an error message.

    My ipod won't restore. It keeps coming up with an error message. that says "The iPod '_____' cannot be restored because it contains files that are in use by another application." How do I fix this?
    The only thing that's open is my itunes, so i don't see how anything on my iPod can be in use by another application.
    It also does this when I try to eject it, so I end up having to just unplug it instead of ejecting it, which I know is not good.
    And if it matters, sometimes I plug in my iPod and it doesn't register on either the iPod or in iTunes that my iPod is plugged in, so sometimes I have to re-plug it in. And my iPod these days will continue to say that it's syncing even though iTunes will say it's finished.
    Please help me!

    Go to your computer's System Tray and try ejecting.  If you can't eject, there is an application that is trying to access your iPod.
    Go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx and download ProcessExplorer.
    Go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555665 and follow the instructions under Resolution.
    Note that this is a good, general process any time you can't access any file.
    In my case an update to RealPlayer installed a program called RecordingManager that was accessing my iPod.

    Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.

  • 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.
    Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.

  • Help!!! ipod won't restore on itunes

    my ipod won't restore on itunes because it says this check your network connections are connected and your network connection is active or try again later. i have no idea what this means and i have tried again later and it hasn't worked. also if i can restore can i get my things back? thanks

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    - Then try on another computer
    You can restore from backup to get things back
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up      
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
