"The iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1418)."

What do I do when this error message comes up? Is my brother's iPod doomed? D:
The error message again, for good measure; "The iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1418)."

See: Error 1415/1417/1418/1428 when restoring any iPod using iTunes 7 or later.

    Mt computer has been freezing up on me lately and I think it messed up my Ipod when it quit right in the middle of downloading and got shut off.

    That's because you jailbroke your phone. You can't get help here.

    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • The iPod 'iPod' could not be restored.An unknown error occured(9).

    I got my iPTouch 16 GB on Oct.13 and on hooking to XP SP2 PC got it on the iTunes ver 7.4.3.1, was able to download music after charging. iTunes showed that a new software ver 1.1.1 for iPTouch was available(of150MB).Got it downloaded to iTunes but when it started to download to iPTouch, it failed and asked to do resotre. All this happened in just few hours of getting it.
    Since then, even after reinstalling the iTunes, my iPTouch is not going beyond showing the icon of a plug and a CD.Every time iTune is able to detect the iPTouch saying that it has detected an iPod in recovery mode, you must restore it. And on doing so that error of 'The iPod 'iPod' could not be restored.An unknown error occured(9).' comes up and it again asks to restore.
    Though every time iTunes is able to detect an iPTouch, my XP does not show it in 'my computer' as any hooked device or drive.
    May I request Apple and other members on this forum to help me out. It is clearly a software problem.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Thanks to all members for sharing in. In my case finally, I got a brand new replacement from Apple through their Authorised Service Provider,A-1 Infotech, Mumbai. Since in India, Apple does not have a widespread presence,the service and support I got was amazing.
    In my case though I never came to know whether the problem was of software or hardware, but the simultaneous step I had taken was to call the toll free number of Apple in India and got my problem registered. Since the iPod Touch was under warranty, I got it replaced without much hassels. I advise the same path for other users and if possible get the additional Apple Care Protection Plan for additional one more year.
    Though I have yet to find out how to avail that Protection Plan in India.
    Best wishes,

    How do i get my ipod touch out of recovery mode......keep getting error message saying ipod could not be restored an unknown error occurred.
    Been trying all night to sort out but just going around in circles

    I have not seen a solution for that error but try:
    - Place the iPod in DFU mode and then restore
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I am trying to restore software on my iPad which is connected to my PC with iTunes when i'm in recovery mode a warning comes up
    "The iPad could not be restored an unknown error occurred (1604) This i have discovered probably a USB timing problem ?
    I have followed all suggestions  but still my iPad screen is locked with a iTunes logo and a USB cable beneath it, wish I had never bothered
    to update it now. Any help would be appreciated. rg

    When I restart my iPad the connect to iTunes comes up and stays on until it shuts down again, I have read a report from Apple support suggesting I reinstall iTunes so I might try that again and also your suggestion which i shall also try, but thanks again - rg1547

  • "the iphone could not be restored an unknown error occurred (2)"

    Yesterday I connected my iPhone 4 to my Windows 7 laptop, and went through to install the latest security update for iPhone through iTunes. When it was installing the software update, the phone froaze, and then this happened:"the iphone could not be restored an unknown error occurred (2)"
    Now, I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Bonjour and iTunes, to no avail. I have done the iPhone reboot method, and the phone will be identified as "iPhone" but not recognised as mine. iTunes states this phone is in recovery mode and I have tried numerous times to restore it.
    Windows doesn't detect the phone while this is happening. It will not restore and the error is still popping up. I have followed as many threads to rectify this but nothing seems to be working.
    I can resore it on my iMac but the reset date for the iPhone on this computer is six months old.
    Any suggestions?

    When you say you uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, did you follow the directions in this Apple support document exactly? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    That will make a difference on Windows computers. After that, try and reconnect and restore.

    Are you using a valid Apple charger that came with the iPad?
    Attempting to use a computer USB port, an incompatible charger, or attempting to charge via a wall socket that only receives power from a wall switch — can all lead to a low, or depleted battery condition. Has this iPad been wet, or dropped?
    Verify all of the above, and correct. If the iPad still cannot hold a charge, consider taking to an Apple Store, or authorized service provider to evaluate it.

    It doesn't specify "1437," but since this happens during a Restore, try the suggestions in this document

    If your shuffle is 3rd or 4th gen, you can ignore the bit about the iPod Reset Utility.  That only applies to 1st and 2nd gen shuffles.
