I assume you have tried everything here?
iPod: Cannot restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439
It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

You apparently aren't listening or don't understand English well enough to understand the responses you're getting.
An unlocked iPhone will remain unlocked. Updating a legitimately unlocked phone does NOT affect the locked/unlocked status.
It will only lock IF the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it.

Hi, I have just bought another ipod, I have now a 60GB video ipod and a new 8GB ipod. Does it pose any problem when synchronising ? Can they have different names ? Thks

You can name your iPod whatever you like. If you are connecting a second iPod for your own use, just connect it to your computer and it will update from your existing library. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update the whole library, selected playlists or you can manage it manually.
When using a small capacity iPod like the Nano with a large library, you can choose the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" (called Sync Music - All songs and Playlists in iTunes 7). This would allow you to create a playlist specifically for your Nano and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod Nano (around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB). You can read more about playlists at these links:

TS1363 My IPOD is not being recoginized on the computer & there is a padlock that is appearing on my ipod screen - I have never put a combination lock on my ipod - please help

Please help - all of a sudden my ipod is showing a padlock on it & it will not let me in to my music - how did this happen & how do I fix it.

Is this a padlock that appears in the upper right hand corner of the iPod's display? If so, that is the lock switch icon indicating that the lock switch located along the top of the Nano is in the On position.
If you have verified that this lock switch is actually in the Off position, the lock switch is likely damaged or faulty and in need of replacement.

Cannot eject Ipod, please help

I have the latest versions of Itunes (version 6) and ipod software and have tried to reset my ipod various times but it does not resolve the following problem.
After Itunes finishes updating my Ipod somehow I cannot disconnect the Ipod. Ipod keeps displaying "do not disconnect" and if I try to eject I get the message: "Ipod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application".
I have unchecked in the options both" "Enable disk use" and "open Itunes when ipod is attached"... but this does not solve the problem...
any ideas?

Buegie, thanks for your suggestions.
Actually all the ways suggested in the links you indicated fail with the exception of resetting the ipod. If I reset it than I am able to disconnect (but this seems a bit too much to disconnect the ipod).
And even using the "safely remove hardware" icon in the system tray fails, in the sense that windows responds by saying that 'the hardware cannot currently be removed, try later'.
I then tried to connect the ipod without having the Itunes running and everything seems fine. I can disconnect it using the "safely remove hardware" icon in the system tray with no trouble.
Basically the best cure I found is to connect the ipod first and then run Itunes. If I have the Itunes software running and then I connect the Ipod, basically it seems that Itunes locks my ipod and does not let go...
Anyway, thanks again for your help.
Cheers, M

I droped my ipod. please help!

i droped my ipod and i keep getting a screen with a folder and exclamation mark. i keep trying to reset it, but nothing is happening. what is wrong with my ipod? what should i do? please help me!

You might have the wrong software installed. Restore the ipod using ipod updater (www.apple.com/ipod/download/)
The battery might be low. Charge the battery.
The ipod may have locked up. Reset the ipod by either toggling the hold switch on and off or pressing and holding the "MENU" and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears. Try reseting it on a flat surface and make sure that you are only touching the two buttons

Updated iTunes and now can't remove songs from my iPod - please help

I've updated iTunes to version 11.0.0.163 and have an iPod Nano 16gb 5th generation.
In iTunes, I'm no longer able to manually select songs to remove them from my iPod - I can't even see the list of music that's on my iPod. The only option it gives me is to sync, and I don't want to do that. Before I upgraded iTunes, it was easy to move music between my iPod and iTunes, now I can't - what's happened?
My iPod is full so I want to remove some music, not all of it. Any advice? Please help - I'm going round in circles!
Thanks

Ctrl + B for show Top Menu

itunes will now look more like itunes 10.
You can click on your device in the lefthand window as before
You may prefer to use the Music Sync page to select or deselect Playlists, Artists, Albums etc and click apply.
Delete your files is enabled by ticking the Manualy manage music option on the Device Summary page. You may have to scroll down to find it

Cant see songs on my ipod. please help.

Hello to all reading this, and thank you for lending me your time. first: please note that i did do all that i can (restoring, updating, formating, reseting, checking the discussions for s solution, asking friends, and so on) before handing my problem to the forum & my ipod is up-to-date with the latest version 1.4.1. Now, let me get straight to the point:
1) A couple of weeks ago i updated my iTunes to the latest version (i think it was version 7 or 7.1, not completely sure). Everything was working fine, everything was going great but after a couple of days something that i have never seen before appeared, the most horrible message i have ever received from a software before popped infront of my eyes as my iTunes opened, "...your ipod appears to be corrupt...". At first i didnt take it seriously because i thought a little restoring and reconnecting will solve the problem but i was sooo wrong. I did all that i could have done, reconnect, restore, update, format, "chk" the "dsk" if you know what im saying. succesfully that problem was over when i succesfully fixed it after a series of different tries, everyday!
2) By fixing the first problem i thought, "oh, now all i gotta do is just sync all my songs again and start doing what i do best, listen to my music, full time!". Again, i was wrong. So i left my ipod to sync all my songs then came back to it after a while with a joyful "ipod update complete" message infront of my face. And as i checked on my ipod on the sources list it was true, all my songs were on my ipod, then i also checked in the ipod itself via "My Computer" and found a series of some coded and some recognizable songs on it. When i disconnected my ipod though, the apple logo appeared and keeps on appearing as if i have reseted it and when i browse the ipod, i donnot see anything, it appears completely song free when iTunes says i am currently using 2.90 GB of my 3.77 GB with a list of all the songs on my ipod available and 45 MB of other, also windows says that 2.93 GB is used from my ipod. When i check the information on the "About" located in my ipod, it tells me that i have 0 songs, 87.3 MB capacity and 169 MB available.
* please help me if you can, i will be very thankful because this problem has been driving me craaazy! i actually sit on the computer and try to fix it for a long time. oh, and my warranty = finished!

The songs being "greyed out" indicate that your Nano is set to autosync with iTunes. If you wish to remain on autosync, then you will have to delete from iTunes first, then re-sync your Nano. If you wish to maintain the files in iTunes, then you will have to change your iPod preferences to manually manage.

Full iTunes, empty iPod [Please help!!]

I used to have a windows XP but recently got Windows Vista.
All my songs were on the XP so I transferred them to Vista, downloaded iTunes and I now have all my songs in the iTunes library on Vista.
When I connected my ipod, it said updating so I left it for about 2 hours. When I came back and unplugged my iPod all my songs had gone! Now, whenever I plug my iPod in it says, 'Attempting to copy to the disc 'Ipod' failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.'
If you know anything about how to sort this out please
please help!!!
Thanks

See this troubleshooting article.

:s confused with my iPod, PLEASE HELP!?!

Okay, well this is how it goes; My brother is good with electronics, and fixed this iPod for his friend. His friend didn't want the iPod mini anymore, so my brother gave it to me. The problem is the battery needs to be charged to turn on, but it's showing up the low battery sign, but it's not showing that it's charging. I have no idea if it's charging or not, yet it's plugged into my computer, so I'm kind of confused and mad, and it's not showing up on my computer or iTunes.I can't take it back because I don't even know when he got it. Please help me out here!
Thanks,
Ujenna.

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
Then try with the iPod in forced disk mode.

Still no joy, see these.
iTunes 7 doesn't recognize the iPod.
Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod.

HP iPod versus Apple iPod (please help my HP iPod is in ipod heaven :( )

I have a 20G HP+iPod that i bought from cosco that i use with my apple computer. Everything has been working fine until one day when i turned it on and a "sad ipod" flashed up on the screen. When i turned it back on it worked as normal so i thought nothing of it. A little later while listening the ipod froze up so i resetted it. After reseting it a folder with an exclamation mark came up. A little later though it started working again and it worked for a couple of days. I was listening to my ipod in the car for a long time until the batteries ran out and when i plugged it back in the folder with the exclamation mark came up. So i went the apple.com/support and it said i have to restore it. Now this HP iPod would not restore. everytime i restored it it would say an error has occured. Finally i get the thing to restore and i plug it in to put in all my songs again. Unfortunatly my iPod freezes in the middle of uploading the songs so i gave up. Today i tried restoring it again. And updating it again. it froze again. I give up now so i am returning my iPod to cosco tommorow...
Now here is my question. Is an HP iPod different than an Apple one. Because after returning my HP iPod to cosco i am thinking about going to buy a new Apple iPod but i am afraid that it might not be any different than the HP one. (and yes i am defienatly planning on buying the insurance for it). Please help! (good thing about cosco u get a full refund for anything)

The HP has the same hardware as the apple one. The warranties and service offered by each company is where the differences lie.
Since your iPod broke so early with those icons, it was probably a lemon and the HD was having issues.
Since you have a mac though, get an apple iPod because HP doesn't support any connection issues between an HP iPod and a mac.
