iPod 1418 Error Fix
Posted by Alex | Filed under General, Google Adwords
The other day my girlfriends mothers ipod (click wheel, ipod Photo) packed up while being updated from the PC. After a number of attempts to get it working I decided it needed to be restored. Unfortunately after trying numerous times, Itunes kept giving an error with the code 1418.
After sometime on Google i realised this seems to be a common problem. I tried the following fixes without success:
Reformating the Ipod in Windows
Unplugging the cable as soon as you click the “restore”
Reinstalling USB Drivers
Trying another computer
The HP USB Key Format utility
All these failed.
I was sure the Ipod was dead and trip to the Apple store was needed. I decided to try one last method that i’d read somewhere on a forum - the whack it on the desk method…
…So I gave it a whack. The ipod then rebooted and started working perfectly - no really it did. Its probably short term but hey.
Hope one of these works for you.
I’m on the Google Channel on YouTube..

Last year when I was over in Dublin Google asked if i’d say a few words on the record about AdWords and how great it was.
They’ve finally produced a very short video. Take a look..
