Itunes will not restore my 2nd gerneration ipod shuffle giving error1418

Itunes will not restore my 2nd generation ipod shuffle. I am getting an error 1418. I am running Windows Vista so none of the fixes that I have seen seem to work for me. Is there anything else that I can try or am I ipodless until Wednesday or Thusday when the new I pod arrives? And I thought Sleepless in Seattle was bad. Shuffleless in Seattle is much worse.

Have you tried all the steps here:

itunes will not sync music to my ipod touch or iphone 3g. Passes all diagonostic tests. copies apps but not music. Any Ideas?

just bought iphone 4 today from verizon and had the same problem. this is my 1st smartphone ever. apps all synced when i plugged it in to my computer except the music. this is what i did and it worked. plugged in phone to computer. then under the devices tab i clicked on the music tab. if you look to the bottom right of the itunes page there will be two tabs you can click on. one says settings and the other one says autofill. i clicked on the autofill and then it just started syncing. that was it. i'm not a tech guy by any means. just kinda of got lucky. i hope this helps you out. good luck!

ITunes does not recognize my first generation iPod Shuffle

iTunes does not recognize my first generation iPod Shuffle (512MB). Windows 7 sees the iPod as an empty external drive although the iPod has music on it. The iPod plays the music fine. iTunes does recognize a similar first generation iPod Shuffle.
What can be wrong with the iPod Shuffle? How can I fix?
Thanks,I
Jay

Itunes will not restore my iphone 6 plus

Ok so let me start from the beginning.
I purchased new iphone 6 plus in Nov and received it on Dec 12th, 2014. Three days after I took out of the package its been a problem ever since then. First issue was my phone froze on the lockscreen, I held the sleep button and the face button until it went off, turned it back on and the screen was tripping out going on and off and off constantly to the point i had to turn it off again. I turned it back on only for it to make it to the lockscreen and then shut off. So i had to put my phone into recovery mode and restore it via itunes. Everything worked fine, I restored it and it was good, then a few days later my photo app started crashing whenever i tried to scroll up. I then turned my phone off again and my phone wouldnt go passed the apple logo before it would shut off again by itself. I then had to restore it yet again it worked for a few days and then proceeded to act up again. So now, fast forward 2 months later and i haven't had to do a restore since the beginning of the month. Now my phone started acting strange again. I went into my photo app and scrolled up past a few pictures before it crashed and I tried again and again and again. Then i turned my phone off and then back on. It went to the apple logo and then shut back off. Now i have been connected to itunes for over 2 hours and itunes will not complete the software and restore. Im getting message saying "Error 3014". I have tried everything with this iphone. I've done the following with no solid results.
-I've completely wiped out the old software 8.1.2 when my phone was messed up in the beginning. Ive done this multiple times.I thought that maybe I caught a glitch while updating my iOS via OTA. so i reinstalled the new iOS via itunes and I still had an issue.
-I've completely wiped my phone clean from all apps and photos and created an entirely new backup. Still had an issue.
-Restored and updated my iOS via itunes.
-Updated my iOS to 8.1.3
As of now my phone is a complete brick. I've manually put it into recovery mode to be restored but itunes will update the software (But not install it on the phone) then get it ready to be restored only to lose communication with the iphone midway through the restore process. I've tried multiple times to update and restore my phone with no success. Th error message "3014" pops up. If anybody can suggest anything or has gone through this same issue I would love your help or insight on the problem. This phone has been a headache ever since I purchased it.

Itunes will not recognise music on my ipod?

I have recently encoutnered a problem with my 5th generation 60gb ipod which I'm hoping someone can help me with?
When I plug my ipod into my computer and open itunes, it recognises that the ipod is plugged in, but asks me to set-up the ipod, like it is the first time I have used this ipod. Also it does not recognise any of the 5,000 or so songs on the ipod.
When my ipod is not plugged into my computer all 5,000 songs still appear on it and play with no problems.
For some reason itunes will not recognise the songs on my ipod - even though I have added them all with this software and about a third of them on this computer.
If I choose to proceed with the set-up of my ipod, I am afriad I will lose all 5,000 songs off my ipod.
Can anyone offer a suggestion - as it is, I either wipe my ipod or concede that I can't add any more songs to it, even though it is only half full.
Oh yeah, I have added all files to my ipod manually.
Thanks!

With those symptoms, it's probably worth checking to see if you're getting a Windows drive letter confusion. For troubleshooting advice on that, see the following document:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

Help I itunes will not recognize my iphone or ipod. Trouble with USB driver, device not running in safe mode, and HDCP not supported.

Help! When I connect my iphone or ipod touch to my computer, windows recognizes my device but itunes will not. I can still see my songs, videos, and access the itunes store but my phone and itunes store have no connection so it does me no good. I have for 2 days now tried every trouble shooting method posted with no luck. I think I may have finally found a lead. My Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is showing up under portable mobile devices while it is supposed to be showing up under universal serial Bus controllers from my understanding? Also, while running my diagnostic report under itunes it also says itunes is not running in safe mode, it is not showing enabled in windows firewall (which it is checked), and the HDCP is not supported. I don't know what to do? I am in tears here, someone please help!!!

Can Anyone help me as I can’t use my ITUNEs and am Handicapped when it comes transferring ITEM on and OFF my IPHONE...
Thanks

That error suggests you may have a QUicktime problem rather than an iTunes problem.
Have you installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
If so uninstall them. They are bad news for Quicktime.
Then download the version of Quickime without iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Now Remove Quicktime using the method for Quicktime in this article (just Quicktime):
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart you computer
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

ITunes will not restore my iTouch 4thG, either stops a short bit into the ipod restore process, or I get an error message(21)

My iTouch 4thG first was not being recognized by my iTunes, so I couldn't sync my ipod. After trying to restore, like it told me too, the process froze not too long after beginning. The progress bar on iTunes gets maybe 1/8 of the way before it stops. I tried everything iTunes support told me to, but nothing works. The restore process either freezes or will not begin at all & shows and error message with the error code 21. iTouch has been unusable for the past 2 days, I have tried everything! Please help!!

Error 20, 21, 34, 37: These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. If you are using a PC, follow this article to resolve this issue.

My Itunes will not restore my ipod touch 4g.

It comes up with an error 21. I have gone through all of the "Fixes" On the itunes support page but none have resolved my issue. I have run a diagnostics and have uploaded the script to this question. Thankyou!
My ipod is currently in recovery mode, so the device connection status of the diagnostic cannot read my ipod.
I have recentley been trying to downgrade my ipod from 6.3.1 to 6.0 But that failed, it restored correctly then but not now...
Help would be much appreciated.

ITunes will not restore locked ipod touch 4

I'm afraid I have a password locked iPod 4. I've searched the forums and i've put it in recovery mode when connecting with my iTunes account. However, this is a new Mac laptop (my old PC laptop that I used to sync the iPod with iTunes is fried). This is the first time this iPod has been connected with this Mac.
I go through to clicking on restoring it and it starts the process then gives me this message:
"There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod "iPod". The network connection timed out.
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later."
I have tried quite a number of times and I keep getting that message.
I'd be really grateful for any advice.
Thanks

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Itunes will not download songs to my ipod.

I have bought the songs and have them in my library, when I try to put them on my ipod it shows that they have gone on but they don't because it says it isn't responding.What should I do?

I have authorized my computer to work with my ipod. I have ran a sync and it did put music I copied to my computer to the ipod. The thing it will not do is download music I bought from iTunes in the past. It just acts like they are not there.

ITunes will not recognize any of my ipods

None of my ipods will show up as devices in iTunes. System profiler recognizes the ipod as a USB device. I am using a brand new cable and have tried multiple USB ports on the computer itself.
I am running the latest version of iTunes...

Panther is quite outdated operating system, it would be better if you could upgrade atleast to 10.4 "Tiger", 10.5 "Leopard" is the last operating system which will work with PowerPC -processors (G3, G4 and G5) so you might want to upgrade as much as you can at once. Apple does not seem to host any versions of iTunes on their website which would work on 10.3 "Panther". iTunes 10.1 will not work with Panther. I Googled quickly and it seems that iTunes 7 is the last series which workd on 10.3 but they might too old to support your new iPods.
I think you'll need to upgrade your OS.

ITunes will not load videos onto my iPod

Hello all,
I'm experiencing a problem with iTunes, it will not let me copy videos to my iPod due to a little preference.
I get a dialog box reading "Preferences could not be saved for 'my iPod' because it could not be found."
Could this be some sort of bug for iTunes or something?
Regards,
The Wampus Cat

I tried doing that, but I get this error message explained in my first post.
Which means the answer to this question is: NO.
