Unknown Error Code 1418

I just got my 80GB iPOD Classic yesterday. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, transfered about 1.43GB of songs to realize that:
1. My iPOD has frozen, I can't even switch it off
2. I can only re-set it and it goes back to the iPOD menu screen.
3. Some times it re-starts on its own a couple of times before getting to this screen.
4. I tried to re-store default factory settings through iTunes, it did download and istall the lastest version of iPOS software (version 1.0) but it always gives me an error code of 1418 while trying to restore ("unexpected error occured while trying to restore, error code 1418)
PLEASE HELP, I AM DYING TO ENJOY MY IPOD.

put your ipod in disc mode and you'll probably be able to restore it (restart, then hold the centre and play buttons until it goes into disc mode)
connect it and restore it with itunes, then restart again to get out of disc mode
Good luck

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: Error 1415, 1417, 1418, or 1428 when restoring or updating an iPod in iTunes 7 or later

It says it needs to be connected to itunes and restored. when i do that, it goes through the whole process then comes up with "iphone could not be restored. unknown error code (-1)". Please help

My brother gave me his old iphone when the touch screen went out on mine. It's in great shape but when I received it, it says that it needs to be connected to itunes to be restored. I have done this and it goes through the whole process then says iphone "iphone" could not be restored. unknown error code (-1). There is not a -1 code on the list and I have tried most of the suggestions.
Does my sim card need to be in when I am doing this? And any other suggestions?

I did put it in DFU mode but its still not working, although everytime it shows your iphone needs to be restored. Kindly help.

So my iPod has been a little neglected over the past few months since I've been out of a job. I don't need to take it to work anymore to listen to my music. Very recently I went through an entire reformat and reinstall of my OS and other programs, so my system is pretty clean, if I do say so myself.
I reorganize my music by what I want to load on my iPod and decide I need to take it out to charge. When I plug it in, it tells me that (basically) it has new firmware and asks me if I want to let iTunes handle the download and update. Sure I think, no biggie. I remember what it was like when you had to download a separate firmware setup, and I thought "Wow, cool. I don't have to do all that crap anymore."
As it starts updating my iPod it stalls, and I get an error message. No I can't recall it. It asks if I want to wait, cancel or -somthing else-. I tell it to wait and it seems to work, then it stalls on the update.
I do the 5 R's. I'm not unaccustomed to them, I have even had to wipe my iPod a few times because those don't work. Now what my iPod is doing is constantly saying "Do not disconnect," yet iTunes won't see it, but that is not the end of it.. oh no. (PC see's it just fine)
I pull some reboots to try and keep the fragmentation down when I do disconnect the iPod, and every time I restart iTunes and try to update and restore my iPod I get this message: "The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1418)." I'm getting this every single time. I reset, update iTunes, repair iTunes, reformat the iPod, try a different USB port, and I get the same thing over and over again. None of the help articles seem to be useful.
Help?!?!

Ran a new diagnostic tonight, since I'm getting the same error and I have tried to fix it a few different ways.
The above error messages are gone. In their place this seemed to be the message that stood out:
[SERVICE: 0x844,00:16:24 ERROR] Did not find first letter of stage
Also there seems to be a huge bit at the bottom of the log with possible (?) IRQ destinations... I didn't notice this in the first one but because I saved over it, I'm not sure.
Here is a snippet;

Itunes unknown error code 4000

Please help! I burned a CD just fine last week, and now when I try to burn, I am getting an unknown error code 4000. I googled the problem, and I have tried just about everything. The "include CD box is NOT checked," and I went into add/remove programs and performed the repair option. I also checked to make sure my drive is operating. Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions? thanks!!

how do we clear this please

Unknown error code 13014 problem, this is the first time I've ever seen it.

After I upgraded my PC, I copied old libraries and music files from the old hard drive to the new one. I installed the newest version of iTunes (8.0.2) and when I plugged in my ipod, I saw something I had never seen. Guess what it is?
'Unknown error code 13014!'
I had no problems for using every function that my iPod touch and iTunes have (including Genius play list) and of course, I've been updating every version of firmwares and iTunes programs. After I googled about this incident, I figured out this problem should not be seen on the newest version of iTunes but I'm still surffering from it.
Temporally, I turned off Genius Play List and now, that error code doesn't pop up but of course, I can not use Genius Play list because of it.
I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, restored firmware, moved Library Extras & Genius.itdb and do them again and again. Of course, none of them worked.
What can I do? Is there anyone else who is experiencing same thing to me? How can I get my Genius Play List function back?
Please Help me. I'm desperate. :<

Did you properly prep your new drive first?
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the OS X installation.
I think you should shutdown the installer then erase the drive per the above and start again.

Error Code 1418?

I know I'm new here, but I don't care right now.
I need somebody to tell me what Error Code 1418 is.
I'm using a fifth-generation iPod Video, 30 gig.
After an impact, which involved my iPod falling off my desk, when I updated it, the update failed, and the computer couldn't identify it.
If I know what Error Code 1418 means, then I can tell whether if I should scrap my iPod or get it repaired.
Thanks for your help, everyone.

Unknown Error Occured [1418[

When attempting to use my Ipod Nano I get a message saying the Ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. Attempts to restore result in an "Unknown Error Occurred [1418]" message and goes back to the restore screen. This problem started when Itunes said that the Ipod software wasn't up to date and I attempted to download the new Ipod software. Any suggestions?

Did you try both of these:

I finally disconnected the new Kodak 5500 printer from the USB port and my iPod is now working. After working on this problem intermittantly for a few weeks I finally decided to try that fix as the problem seemed to arise when I installed the new printer and hooked it up to the last of the 4 USB ports at the back of the machine.I guess I will have to disconnect the printer whenever I want to update the iPod. I still have some other fixes to try from the apple site but at least I've found a work-around.

Advent 5301 Unknown Error Code 2131

When trying to burn CD's, I get 'unknown error code 2131' and then the CD is ejected without burning.
I see some fellow users have had the same problem, but I cannot find the solution.
Can someone help please?
Thank you.

It's usually a firmware issue on a drive, but it'd be best to check first.
Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

Try:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
Or it could be an Apple problem and you will have to wait.
