i cant restore an ipod classic it shows error 1436

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 always covers what the resulting numbers indicate, which may be slightly different since your model is a bit older.

TS1372 Can't Restore my iPod Classic

Until a few days ago my iPod and iTunes worked perfectly together. The iPod then crashed and wanted to be restored. Then the "fun" began!
I have an iPod Classic 80GB. Use the latest iTunes. Have Windows 7 at home (64 bit). Have tried on Windows XP (32 bit) with iTunes 9.2 and latest at work computer.
I have run all the steps for Error 1439 as per this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1372 however no luck. I have tried diskaid and yamipod to restore it, but they can't find the iPod. I have tried it on different computers with no luck (they are even different operating systems). I have tried reformatting it through windows (but it is protected).
iTunes finds the iPod and wants to restore it but keeps running into error 1439.
I have uninstalled all Apple software (in the correct order) and installed an older version of iTunes (9.2) but again had the same error.
It seems to be an issue with the actual iPod not the computer (or iTunes). I have tried the system check on the iPod, however gets stuck at the HP (headphone) detect test ... although it does detect the headphones it won't continue pass this. Have run all the other tests via manual checks. It didn't find any errors.
Any help??

Looks like the iPod Hardisk is having problem.
Can you do the iPod Disk Diagnostics as posted by tt2, it wont fix your problem but helps in troubleshooting.
You system check maybe above but dont go for Auto, select the Manual test, as tt2 described in his detailed post.

HT1339 i cant restore my ipod classic, what do i do? i've tried many times

need help...

Need more info to help
Is there any error message?
Which version of iTunes are you using?
What is the iPod software version as shown in the iTunes summary page?
Why do you need to Restore the iPod? (this may shortlist the problem)

My ipod classic keeps showing error code 1439 and says its corrupted and nothing on the site that it says to do is working has anyone else had the problem

my ipod classic 160 gb keeps showing error code 1439 and says it is corrupted and i have done everything the article on it says to do and still reads the same thing. has anyone else had the same problem if so what can i do to fix it. the ipod is only 2 months old

If it is under warranty, bring it in to Apple Store, most of our suggestions, comes from the Apple support site..
Besides Restoring the iPod, there are winsocks which have conflict with iTunes, perhaps, disable those plugins and disconnect the Internet and stop antivirus, while you are Restoring or Syncing the iPod.

My ipod classic had an error of 1439.It finally let me restore it and now it says it cant restore because of error 1439. why?

Hey there Palmer
How are you?
Well, I have an iPod Classic, it gave me the error -1436 error and would not restore on iTunes.
I did the following:
My Boss (@work) has a fairly old iBook but it has OS-X, so I decided to give it a try and connected my iPod to it.
The system showed a window telling me that the disk is not MAC formated and needs to be validated prior further action. Snce it is a Mac product, I thought "yeah, go ahead".
It then opens the disk manager utility for the Mac and showed the disk. It's window has some tabs, one is to verify the disk, so I verified it. Guess what, it had some invalid clusters.
Then I formatted the iPod to OS-X Plus file system (next tab to the right). After formating the iPod, I "ejected" the iPod and reconnected to my PC. The Windows iTunes found an iPod with Mac file system and asked me to restore it. As I clicked on the "restore" button, I crossed my fingers as this was the last resource I have.
Finally, after the file extraction was done, it began to restore the iPod!!
I'm so happy about being able to restore the iPod that I decided to share with all you guys this solution as it is the most usefull, in my opinion.
Hope you can find someone with an iBook or a desktop Mac, so you can fix yours.
If it works for you, make sure to share the tip!!
Kind regards

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.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
If you get the corrupt error message then go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and select the backup and delete it.
Next
- Try another cable
- 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 recently restored my ipod classic and the music that was in my itunes account has disappeared or it keeps saying file not found,is there a way forme to recover the music I lost?

How can I fix this problem of finding the music that was lost since I restored my ipod classic. I still have some albums but some music is missing,

Hello lg3hree
Check out the first article to look on your computer for the music files themselves. If you had purchased anything from iTunes, you can just download the tracks from the iTunes store.

TS3694 i cant restore my ipod touch

i cant restore my ipod touch

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer

Does restoring an ipod classic (prior format on Mac) in Windows delete music?

Does restoring an ipod classic (which was previously formatted on a Mac) in Windows 7 delete the music already on ipod?

Thanks fiend,
I don't have access to a Mac. This ipod (bought 2nd hand) is my first apple product & came with some music on, but I can't add any, till I reformat to use in Windows. Was hoping not to lose existing music but ..... Thanks for helping a novice.
