Unknown Error 1430 when restoring iPod Classic

Hi,
Yesterday my ipod Classic froze, so I did a hard reset. However, it gave me a message that I needed to restore it, so I connected it to my Mac and attempted to restore.
Upon connecting it, iTunes detected it in recovery mode, but when trying to run the restore process, it stops after about 20% and gives me the following error message: “unknown error 1430 the iPod could not be restored”.
I have tried all the recommended steps on the Apple troubleshooting guide, including disconnecting and reconnecting, restarting computer, using different usb ports, different user accounts, and a different usb cable, reinstalling itunes and enabling/disabling disk use.
None of these steps have worked and I am out of ideas so I would appreciate any suggestions if other people have encountered this problem before.
Thanks in advance for any help.

some folks have been having some success with the 1417 and 1418 using eboncairn's technique:

Unknown Error 1418 when restoring ipod

I hope someone can help me fix my Ipod problem. I have the first edition of the U2 Ipod and when I was in Ireland it malfunctioned. I took it to an Apple Store today and they restored it to factory setting using a mac. Well I brought it home, I did what the man at the store said to do and downloaded 7.0 and then when prompted tried to restore the Ipod using Windows. When I did the message "Could not restore ipod, unknown error (1418)" appeared. Does anyone know what this means and what my next step should be?
I am so close to being able to have my Ipod fixed and put my music back into it but I cannot get past this stupid error message. Does anyone know whether he screwed up my Ipod by formatting it using a Mac or what I should do next? The man said my Ipod was corrupted by something, could this be the problem? This is so frustrating because I am so close to having my Ipod back to normal and now don't know what to do. Thanks,would appreciate any help anyone can offer!!

An unknown error (2003) when restore iPod Touch

downloaded the latest version of iTunes and tried to restore my iPod touch to iTunes, but it complains that it will have an unknown error (2003). I tried to restore my iPod about 20 times, but the same error comes every time. Then I plug the iPod off my computer and I plugged it in again. But then iTunes was complaining to me that the iPod that I plugged in is on a restore mode. I did everything by correcting the bug and am looking for the whole night Apple.com to answer this problem. I did the thing with Notepad, but it did not help at all. I'm looking for all the troubleshooting and I checked my computer but it did not help at all. I downloaded iTunes again but it did not help. What can I do? When my iPod is in a restore mode, I can not put music on, and I can not even open my iPod. The display shows only the cable and iTunes symbol. Please, help me.

Does nobody have the answer to this question? Was somply tryin to update my ipod touch and it got all the way to the end and saod it couldnt update, then went in to "recovery mode" and needed to restored. Restoring will not work either, (error 2003) And now I too have an ipod that will not do anything! I dont care if it wont update, I just want it back the way it was before I plugged it in and tried to update it. Someone must have the answer to this!

Error (48) when restoring iPod

After my iPod stopped responding I had to restore the iPod.
Changing to disk mode was no problem. When connecting the USB the iPod is not always detected by the hardware. Sometimes it does not appear in iTunes at all and sometimes it pops up but capacity and S/N are not displayed.
Normally after a few tries it pops up as a black 60GB drive with correct S/N. When attempting to restore the newest iPod software is downloaded. After completion I get a message "Unknown error (48)" with some additional text about problem with iPod server.
I have run the diagnostics of the network connection and everything passes.
Appreciate the solution to this problem.
Acer Aspire P4 Windows XP

Yes, the iPod shows up in the My Computer. When I try to format it takes a long time before the Pop ups are there. The format window gives the following info:
Capacity : 55,7 GB
Filesystem : remains blank and nothing can be selected.
Allocation unit size : remains bland and nothing can be selected.
The iPod does not always show up. When it shows up the data is not always correct. Ie a white iPod, no capacity, no S/N and no software version.
Thanks Moordrecht

It sounds like you might be experiencing the same problem I have been having:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19207453#19207453
Can you pinpoint the time when you started having this problem? I am wondering if Amazon has made some kind of change to their downloads that is causing a problem for the syncing process.

Unknown Error (-48) when syncing ipod nano in Itunes

I got a new ipod nano chromatic and have had it about 5 months. Then today i plug it in and the battery was pretty low -it kept saying that it cant sync and that it has experienced an unknown error (-48).
*** is this and how can I fix it. I have charged the ipod up, so surely it isnt the battery.
Help!

Have you tried restoring your iPod? Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes

I have an unknown error (-81) when connecting iPod Photo and Nano

This error keeps coming up when connecting iPods to iTunes and no photos can be downloaded.
I have downloaded the all the latest iTune and iPod updates

Hello penel2907,
This could be due to a hardware issue. You may try using a different USB port on your computer.
Check for hardware issues

Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

Hey Folks having some massive problems with my new ipod. A couple days ago the ipod froze when i was on the bus, after that every time i hooked my ipod into my mac i got the error -208 can not sync ipod. The thing is the ipod was updating.
While trying to Trouble shot this i did the restore ipod with itunes 7.0.2, and guess what i am still getting the error. Even more annoying since i restored i can no longer sync my contacts and calendar. when i check the sync contacts box it tells me i have no contacts.

Any Help much appreciated.

Thanks Kylene that solved the error message and the photo's not updating. For some Reason it even solved the calender's syncing problem.
I am still having the problem of itunes not liking my contacts though. Every time i try to check the sync contacts i keep getting that my address book has no contacts.
I have deleted the application support files, as some one suggestd in another thread, and that didn't work.
But at least 2/3 of the problems are solved.

Unknown error -48 when syncing ipod

when i first plug in my ipod an error shows up -128.Then when I sync it an error -48 shows i need help

Thanks for the tip - I may try it, as one of the many 48ers...
For what it's worth, here's my story: I have two 80G Video iPods, one with the problem and one (so far, touch wood, please don't let me tempt fate) ok. I only have 1 mac, 1 account, i.e. the same sytem for both of them.
Differences are:
One is black, the other white. I don't think that is the problem, but for the logically different it's the black one that works!
I got one for my birthday, the other for Christmas. The answer to the obvious question is, September 18th and yes I like chocolates. But I think there is a clue here.
The one I got in September, as soon as they were announced, took over a week to arrive as it found its way from the Far East to England. The second one arrived a day later, having come from the Midlands (England).
And guess what, the one from the UK is the one that is having trouble. I can tell there are other problems from the sheer volume of posts I have waded through, but there is definitely something wrong with some of the regional settings handling/builds. Regardless of duplicates, smart lists etc. Apple needs to look seriously at this now.
Sadly I wouldn't advise anyone to get one right now, which is a shame as they are great. Like everyone else I am stunned by how long this has gone on. So thanks for your tip, mate, I will probably give it a go as synching up 50G of music and video each time is a pain!
Come on Apple, sort it out!

IPod stuck in recovery mode, won't restore, "Unknown Error 1430"

Hi, I have a 160gb iPod classic, and I've had minimal problems with it in the past. I can safely say that it's my favorite MP3 player out there. I did have one before that overheated or something like that, and I was given a replacement one. But, within a day of having this brand new iPod, I was listening to it at work and the music stopped all of the sudden. I pulled it out of my pocket and the screen had the Apple logo that you see when you restart it, only the background had blue, white, and gray on it, instead of the typical gray background. I restarted it and it told me to restore it with iTunes. After I connected it to my Mac, it told me it detected an iPod in recovery mode and that it needed to be restored. Anytime I click restore though, shortly after it extracts the software, it says it's restoring and then gives me an error message telling me it can't be restored. I got several numbers at first, and one error message telling me that it couldn't be unmounted, but now it's consistently giving me the Unknown Error 1430. I tried restoring on a PC, and formatting it as well, but neither worked. iTunes is up to date on both of them, and I've reinstalled it several times on each. I would rather not take it to the store to get it replaced again. Any help?
