Hi. I am using a 30gb 5th gen iPod on a system running Windows XP. I've had this problem for about a week now, and I've tried everything.
My iPod simply won't restore. I connect the USB, run iTunes, and hit restore - iTunes says it is restoring, and it completes this process. It says the iPod is resetting and when it reboots it will have its factory settings. The iPod screen has the blue reset bar, and it does reset, but when it is finished, I get the same screen I had before - "Connect iPod to computer and restore with iTunes." I get this over and over and over.
Originally, I was getting the error 1418 message, but that has stopped, now it's just doing this.
PLEASE help me! I am desperate. I used that thing everyday, now I am going insane.
