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!

It is usually given as a communication error between Apple, iTunes (your computer), iPhone. Somewhere they are not communicating, so the iOS you are trying to install cannot be approved by Apple. Trouble shooting steps include, making sure you have Current iTunes installed, make sure your Hosts file of computer is not blocking Apple. Try restoring on another computer.

HT1351 I've encoded a vinyl LP record into digital format and recorded it onto an usb as MP3 file. But when I tried to copy it onto my ipod classic, I get a message stating "was not copied to the ipod because it cannot be played on this ipod". Why?

I was refering to the "sample rate", normally 44.1 KHz, the iPod might not be able to play tracks with a non-standard rate. Otherwise I'm not sure what the issue might be.

I have rebuilt my home PC and want to restore my playlists from my iPhone and iPad to the PC but I can only fgind how to sync the other way (i.e. iTunes on PC overwrites the iPhone or iPad)! Frustrating! Can anyone Help?

Hi All,
I have both the iPhone (16Gb 4S) and an iPad (128Gb Retunia display).
My home PC recently failed and I was unable to restore and through some bad luck my backups were rained on and corrupted (I have tried all sorts ot tricks to get it back but no luck and have now moved on to rebulding and regathering the data and applications).
Bottom line is that I have replaced the pld machen wioth a newer model and more RAM, etc.
My problem is that I do not appear to be able typo restore my playlists from my iPad and iPhone to the PC!
Every way I have tried wants to overwrite my iPhone or iPad with what is on the PC!
How can I get the music on my iPad/iPhone to the PC?
I have most of the music tracks (in various places) still but do not want to go through the 6000 tracks IU have to pick out my playlists all over again. That was the work of a few years!
Second item:
I have a few ibooks and am unsure ghopw to get the onto my iPad? ANy hints or help will be appreciated.
Thank you

This explains how to do what you want to do. It was written for an iPhone or an iPod Touch, but the process is the same for an iPad.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

TS3406 My IPhone4 will make calls - they can hear me bu I CANNOT HEAR THEM!! This has only just started happening, I have checked settings but all seems OK can anyone help please

MY IPHONE 4 which has been working perfectly well has developed a fault on calls.
It will make calls OK and they can hear me perfectly but I CANNOT HEAR THEM AT ALL.
I have checked all the settings and cannot see anything wrong, can anyone help please!!

Thanks for answering me. I tried what the help page said but still no luck. My son jut told me that his phone (same as mine) did the same thing and then resolved a little while later. I guess I might just have to wait and see.

I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music of my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone not at all happy. Can anyone help

I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music off my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone into the cloud. Can anyone help please?

Enabling iTunes Match does not delete music from your computer. Why do you think it is now not in the iTunes library if it was before? If all of your music was in the iTunes library then it is also now in the cloud if iTunes has completed it's scan and all the music meets the match requirements. Enable the iCloud Status column in the iTunes browser by switching to Song view and pulling down View > View Options. Select iCloud Status then close the small window. Sort on the new column. Your music should be listed as "purchased," "matched" and "uploaded." Some tracks may be "ineligible." Post back and let us know.

I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.

My Iphone 5, was backed up and restored. Music doesn't sync, when reconnecting device each time, it only offers restore or new phone rather than sync option. Can anyone help please?

My IPhone 5, was backed up and restored. Music doesn't sync, when reconnecting device each time, it only offers restore or new phone rather than sync option. I have reinstalled ITunes but still this hasn't worked. Can anyone help please?

This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

HT204382 I downloaded Flip4 and Divx but still cannot videos with the following ext: wmv, avi and asf can anyone help

I downloaded Flip4 and Divx but still cannot videos with the following ext: wmv, avi and asf can anyone help

Try Perian and VLC.

FF4 eliminated homepage. Re-updated 3.6.16, still have no homepage; so no email, etc--everything's gone. How do I get it back? If I set up new homepage, what about all the email? Am not computer savvy, can anyone help a computer nerd?

When Firefox is opened, my home page is blank. Bookmarks are still there, & all seem to work except 'myyahoo', which is my home page. Screen is blank below toolbar, etc. Cannot get 'myyahoo' to come up. According to many other questions I read, everyone had some kind of trouble when they updated to Firefox 4; restoring to 3.6.16 seemed to solve the majority of those problems. It did not help me.

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.
