  • ITunes showing unknown error 1418 - Help!!

    Ok, so I got my new 5th Generation iPod for my birthday to replace my iPod mini. I put all my old music onto it and listened to it today with no problems.
    However, I'd bought 2 albums from iTunes last night and was annoyed to find that they had not synched onto the iPod.
    When I got home I plugged my iPod in and it started saying "do not disconnect" straight away...when it was finished I dragged one of the albums I'd bought so that it would synch onto the iPod - this is where the problems started:
    1. It started saying that a music file on the iPod itself was corrupted and unreadable.
    2. I ejected the iPod and tried again, and again...it would always show "do not disconnect" and was untouchable in iTunes. It would still work fine when not plugged in though.
    3. When I last plugged it in iTunes claimed to not be running properly and had to be shut down. I also restarted the whole computer.
    4. I have now decided to restore the iPod to its factory settings to remedy the corrupted file situation but when the restore process is taking place a message comes up saying that the iPod cannot be restored due to an unknown error 1418.
    5. My iPod now says "do not disconnect" in an MSDOS-style screen (it's all gone black and white and fonts are smaller than usual) when it is connected and when I disconnect it it just says that it must be restored and plugged in...so it's all a viscious circle.
    I'm sorry this has been so long but I wanted to include as much info as possible so that someone might help??!
    PC   Windows XP   iTunes 7.0.2.16

    Having read another post with a similar issue I'm going to try to disconnect my iPod while the restore bar shows up on the screen, then reconnect it...
    Does anyone have any other suggestions or tips/hints to try?
    I already have tried what the site said to do re. error 1418 but nothing worked and am now getting desperate!

  • ITunes keep showing unknown error 48 while restoring iphone 4s. I've already followed applesupport suggestions of reinstalling iTunes, deleting previously downloaded ipsw on my computer and re-downloading it (countless times!) but still to no avail.

    Hi. A very much help needed.
    - iTunes keep showing unknown error (48) while restoring my iphone 4s
    - I've already re-install iTunes various times
    - Already delete previously downloaded 8.3 ipsw and re-downloaded it countless times
    - Changed and edited hosts in windows drivers as per shown on guides
    but... to no avail!!!!
    I am now without any phone to be used.
    HELP ME PLEASE

    Hello Sean,
    It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

    All the best,

    Iphone 5 cant be restored, it shows unknown error -1 while trying to restore and it only display connect to Itune

    Greetings ayokunlefromlos angeles,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that when attempting to restore your iPhone you receive an error and your iPhone shows the Connect to iTunes screen. To begin troubleshooting, I would suggest manually placing your iPhone in recovery mode and attempting the restore. Please follow the instructions located in the attached article to complete this process. 
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Cheers,

    I have an other kind of error occuring in my Itunes program: "unknown error has occurred (-42110) what can I do!!!!! I have uninstall the program and re-installed and the error appears again, and again. Itunes still works, but every time I open it...the error shows up.

    If your iTunes is up to date, remove the SC Info folder.

    please,I need your help ! I was updating my iphone ios to ios4.2 and then problems begins when it shows that it needs to restore the factory software to I was trying to restore ,but that didn't happen it begins restoring but then it shows unknown error 1015

    Stop being impatient.
    From the article that the question was posted from:
    Errors related to downgrading iOS
    The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed.   Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
    You cannot downgrade.
    If you have a 3GS, you can only install iOS 6.1.3 which is the current version of iOS for the device.

  • I can't upgrade my iphone4 from iOS5.01 to iOS5.1, tried many times, always showed "unknown error 1602", what should I do?

    I can't upgrade my iphone4 from iOS5.01 to iOS5.1, tried many times, always showed "unknown error 1602", what should I do?

    Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error: 
    Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
    Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
    This error may 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.
    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). 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 error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone 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.
