  • Computer Rebuild - New OS - ITunes upgrade and error message 1417 on IPOD

    My old WinXP Pro machine died (AFTER I deleted the NTFS file by mistake, so 100% completely my stuff-up)...so I rebuilt it and installed Windows Vista instead (yeah I know...!).
    Now, as I had to rebuild from scratch, I lost everything except my i-tunes library and all my docs which I kept on a separate drive...thankfully
    So, rebuilding I decide to install I-Tunes 7.0.1.8 ... no probs, can see my library, can see my Ipod.
    But i-tunes then tells me there is an update to theI-Pod software itself, which I decide to install. It bombs out everytime with an Unknown Error installing v1.2 (Error message 1417).
    Any clues please?
    Also, when ripping some new CDs I bought into I-tunes, where it used to take, say, 30 secs/song it now takes 4 or 5 minutes....
    thoughts on that one too?

  • IPad app store "unknown error" message when updating app

    iPad app store "unknown error" message appears when updating app

    Kathryn,
    Had the problem also.  Found in the forums and it worked for me:
    go to settings
    go to app store or "store" on my ipad
    click on the apple id
    sign out
    sign in, again with id and password
    then do update.
    Hope this helps.

  • TS3219 Is anyone receiving a "unknown error" message when updating/getting new apps?

    Before and after installing the new update I started receiving an "unknown error" message when trying to update apps. I changed my password thinking that was it but I am still getting the error message.

    Try signing out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again and see if that works for you.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap your ID and sign out.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Sign in again -Settings>Store>Apple ID - sign in.
    If that doesn't work either, reset your iPad and see if that helps.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Error message when updating Ipod

    I recently had to reinstall my operating system, so I also just reinstalled itunes and the ipod software (both with the latest versions from apple). but now, everytime I update my ipod it says "unable to update ipod. unexpected error occurred (-4)". All of the songs actually do update to my ipod, but I keep getting this error message. Does anyone know what it can mean? I have reformed my ipod, reinstalled the software...i've done everything the apple website has suggested, and i've now been working on it for hours. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I take it back....the songs aren't actually updating to the ipod....all the song names appear, but the songs will not play from the ipod. This is extremely frustrating!

  • Error message while updating iPod to iOS 4

    I was trying to update my iPod touch, but an error message popped up and it says:
    "An error occurred while backing up this iPod. Would you like to continue to update this iPod without backup?
    Continuing without backup will result in the loss of all contents on this iPod"
    If I continue, will I be able to sync all of my content back on the iPod?

    I had same message (several times) trying to update 2gen itouch. I said yes to continue w/o backup and it appeared to be updating..... for 8 hours (I left running overnight). I finally gave up. Have checked all the FAQs and troubleshooting, but can find nothing. Copmputer is up to date with SP3, latest iTunes version, no firewall issue. Don't know what to do next....... any suggestions???? PLEASE....

  • HT201210 Have not updated OS in iPod touch. Have OS 2.2.1. Get error message "Joe's iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occured [-1].

    Have not updated OS in iPod touch. Currently have OS 2.2.1. When trying to update to iOS 4.2, I get an error message "Joe's iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occured [-1]." Please help...

    That often indicates a hardware problem with the iPod, but it can also be caused by security software blocking access to the update. Try this article and see if that helps:
    Troubleshooting security software issues
    If not, then your iPod may be defective and will need replacement. Apple still offers replacement pricing for old iPods, but it might be more cost-effective to put the money toward a new iPod touch. You'd pay a minimum of $99 US for a replacement, but you can get a refurbished 8GB 2010 model for $149 US.

  • Unknown error message when trying to update or download Apps?

    Hello!  I have had no problems till now, and have been happily downloading and updating for 9 months.  Yesterday I received an unknown error message when I tried to update an App on my IPad 2, and have since been unable to update or download. Have tried closing down and restarting, changing password, and usual things.  Any good ideas? Does this happen often?  Everything is working, I simply can't download from App store.  Thank you for any helpful suggestions.
