Error 1418 while syncing iPod to iTunes

The iTunes application has been designed by Apple to act as an interface between the iPod and the computer. It is through this application that the user can organize data on the latter. iTunes also enables users to play music, videos etc using the application. The iPod, is one of the best known portable media players. Although the two are supposed to work hand-in-hand, they sometimes fail to do so. This gives rise to iPod data loss. If one has a back-up of the data thereon, it's fine no matter what goes wrong. The data can easily be reclaimed. When there isn't a back-up available, you can use an iPod Recovery Software to salvage music and other iPod data.

Many people come across the iPod error 1418. The message reads:

"The iPod "Customer's iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1418)"

This problem occurs when you are syncing the iPod to the computer.

Cause:

The prime reason behind this is that there is some error in the DLL files in iTunes. This can sometimes occur due to some malware present on the system.

Solution:

Ensure that you have an updated anti-virus. You can re-register these files to try and resolve the issue:

Open the Notepad in Windows, type the following onto the empty text window:

regsvr32 /s softpub.dll

regsvr32 /s wintrust.dll

regsvr32 /s dssenh.dll

regsvr32 /s rsaenh.dll

regsvr32 /s gpkcsp.dll

regsvr32 /s sccbase.dll

regsvr32 /s slbcsp.dll

regsvr32 /s mssip32.dll

regsvr32 /s cryptdlg.dll

regsvr32 /s initpki.dll

Save the file as 'appleipod.bat'. Save it on the Desktop. Close the Notepad.

Find the appleipod.bat file. Open it. A black window will open. This will disappear on it's own.

Connect the iPod, after opening iTunes.

Once the iPod shows in iTunes, restore and resync it.
