iPod Version 1.3 Update Error 1417 on Windows
Yesterday, I received word that there was yet another update available for my iPod Nano, namely version 1.3. And in the (exact) same way I had problems updating it to version 1.2, due to an “unknown error 1417″, I also had problems updating to version 1.3, even though iTunes has already been updated once since this error occurred.
The following solution originally came from Chernick.org, which I then posted in ForeverGeek, and now I’m finally posting it here, since Apple hasn’t done anything about it.
Here’s the solution, once again:
1)Plug in your iPod and wait for iTunes to tell you an update for it is available
2)Click the Install button on that dialog and keep an eye on your iPod
3)When your iPod screen switches from the flashing “Do Not Disconnect” message to the Main Menu screen, unplug the iPod, wait a couple SECONDS, plug the iPod back in
4)You should notice some slow-down in the progress meter and a new dialog box should come up and tell you your iPod is being updated and to not disconnect it until the update finishes
5)That’s it. Wait for the update to finish and iTunes will re-recognize it and show its new up-to-date status.
