Unknown error 1417 and 1418?

Help! I've installed an iPOD nano, previously used an iPod mini. It recognises the nano but can't download any msuic. Reinstal and Restore failed with unknown error 1417 and 1418. I've uninstalled old iTunes and iPod software and downloaded the latest iTunes and it still doesn't work -also noticed that the old name for the iPOD mini has been tranferred to the iPod nano but can't delete this - any ideas?

Thanks Kyle, you solved it - the Ipod was connected to a powered 4 way USB2 adaptor - when I connected it direct to a USB2 port in my desktop it worked OK. For all other 1417 sufferers: get rid of your USB adaptors, iPods obviously can't cope with sharing a port!
In answer to your question about the iPod mini it had one of those hard disk failures which shows a sad face - very sad when the repair bill is a standard 75GBP - over 100US$. Only 18 months old.

Hi Benwal, and Welcome to Discussions!
First, as it may help troubleshoot, what happened to
your iPod mini, or why was it replaced?
Here is an Apple Support link that might help you
out. Error 1415, 1417, 1418, or 1428 when restoring
or updating an iPod in iTunes 7 or later

    Hi,
    I have updated Itunes to version 7 and I'm trying to do the same for my ipod (version 1.2) but everytime I try, it give me a error window.
    When I try to update - The unknown error is (1417) and I also tried to restore instead and still gave me an error, but (1428).
    I've tried to restart my ipod, and to reinstlled itunes but nothing makes it.
    Thanks

    Some people have had success trying the fix mentioned here.
    Error 1417/1418.
    Could you also take some time to pass some information for the Apple Engineers?  Please copy and paste these questions into an email, make the subject of the email "iPod error report", add your answers, and send the email to Roy at Apple.
    1. What error code are you seeing?
    2. When are you seeing it (restoring or updating your iPod)?
    3. Which iPod do you have?
    4. What version of Windows do you have?
    5. What Windows service pack do you have installed?

  • Error 1417 and 1418

    I just updated my iTunes to 7.0, and now i cannot update nor restore my iPod, it says there is an error. When I update the iPod software it says error 1417, restore with error 1418. Can someone please help me out?
    It would be greatly appreciated

    I just figured this out. It happened to me and I went crazy. What I did is I used the iPOd restore software on my wife's mac which still had iTunes 6 installed. Once the restorer finished it told me to plug the iPOd into a power adapter as the USB 2 connection does not work like the firewire connection use to ( I DO NOT KNOW WHY THEY DID NOT KEEP THE FIREWIRE - MAKES IT EASIER). ANyway, once it restored itself which it looked like it went thru the process a couple of times, the ipod was like new again. This was a 4th gen click wheel 20 gb model.
    Hope this helps,
    JC

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

  • Ipod cannot be updated. Unknown error -1417

    Hi Everyone,
    When i try to update to 1.2 of my Video iPod (30GB), i always receive "ipod cannot be updated. Unknown error -1417"
    I use Windows 2000 SP4 (with latest patches&updates) + iTunes 7.0. Is this a known bug with iTunes or something wrong with my iPod ?
    Thanks,
    Arun

    Try and force iPod into Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPod
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

    If you want to solve your problems, unjailbreak. And don't do it again, because jailbreaking causes problems as you read about in that article. You can try Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

    Hi msclaude,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  I'm not sure from your post what steps you have tried, but it sounds like you may need to use recovery mode to address the issue with your unresponsive iPod touch.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201263
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    You can put your iOS device into recovery mode, then restore it using iTunes.
    Use recovery mode
    You might need to use recovery mode to restore your device in these cases:
    iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode.
    You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
    You see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    Learn what to do if you see the progress bar onscreen for several minutes.
    To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:
    Turn off your device and leave it off.
    Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes. 
    Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again. 
    When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup.Get more help
    Learn what to do if you don't see your device in iTunes for OS X, or in iTunes for Windows.
    If you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • TS3694 I cannot restore my IPhone 3G, I have done all the steps recommended (unknown error (1015)) and nothing happens, it's frozen

    I have done each and everyone of the steps (advanced and basic) recommended by Apple.  Unfortunately, now i cannot even use my IPhone because it seems to not respond.  I have turn it off, reset it with the home and main buttom pressed simultaneously.  Restore it again and the same error ( unknown error occurred and your IPhone could not be restored).  Please, let me know what should i do to at least use my cellphone again.  Thanks.

  • "The iPod could not be restored.An unknown error has occurred (1418)" Help!

    Hope someone can please help me.
    iTunes is asking me to restore my iPod, but an error occurs each time. This is the chain of events.
    1) I connected my iPod to iTunes and it asked if I wanted to update iPod software. I clicked yes.
    2) The iPod then changed from a colour screen to a monochrome screen.
    3) I then had problems with my USB Connection/Driver which I have now resolved.
    4) My iPod asked me to connect to iTunes and restore.
    5) I connect to iTunes and the following message appears
    "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes" So I clicked the restore button.
    6) The restore progresses until the following message appears
    "The iPod 'iPod' could not be restored. An unknown error has occurred. (1418).
    Basically I have read everything I could get my hands on to try and solve but nothing seems to work.
    Really looking forward to some solution.
    Cheers.
