Error 1418 when syncing iPod with 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 the data of the latter. iTunes also allows users to play music, videos, etc. using the app. The iPod is one of the best known portable media players. Although the two are supposed to work hand in hand, sometimes they don’t. This results in data loss. If you have a backup of your data, you’re fine no matter what goes wrong. The data can be easily recovered. When there is no backup available, you can use recovery software to recover music and other data from iPod.

Lots of people come across iPod error 1418. The message says:

Could not restore “Customer iPod”. An unknown error occurred (1418)”

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

Cause:

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

Solution:

Make sure you have an up-to-date antivirus. You can re-register these files to try to resolve the issue:

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

regsvr32 /s:

softpub.dll

wintrust.dll

dssenh.dll

rsaenh.dll

gpkcsp.dll

sccbase.dll

slbcsp.dll

mssip32.dll

cryptdlg.dll

initpki.dll

Save the file as ‘appleipod.bat’. Save it to the Desktop. Close Notepad.

Find the appleipod.bat file. Open it. A black window will open. This will go away on its own.

Connect after opening iTunes.

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

Apple advises users to restore their iPod before attempting to re-register DLL files. During the iPod restore process (before or after re-registering the DLL files), data is deleted. You can recover your data using iPod recovery software. These are specifically designed to recover deleted data.
