Cannot restore or update in iTunes with error 1437

More info needed

1. Which version of iTunes are you using?
2. What is your iPod software version as shown on the iTunes Summary page?

Error 143x, normally caused by harddisk write timeout, probably due to

1. iPod Hardisk failing - Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic refer to this earlier tt2 post
2. Slow USB port, low datarate, due to sharing with other USB devices - Disconnect all other USB devices while Restoring or syncing. Dont use any USB hub and also use the USB port at the back of the PC. and not the front.
3. CPU Resource drained by other Apps like email, Antivirus, web broswer - Stop them, but if stopping Antivirus please disconnect the PC from the Inernet first.

Have a nice day!

Hi,

I know this was a while ago but if anyone has had their iPod open to replace something check your HDD cable connected to the main board as my iPod had a cracked screen, I replaced it myself, disconnected everything, cleaned it all put it back together, powered up, it told me to connect to itunes and restore then boom error 1437 opened it back up and checked HDD cable and oops wan't in fully, closed it all powered up and now listening to my music again.

Thanks so much for this update. I popped my old ipod open and it was the same thing. I fully reconnected the hard drive cable and plugged it in to iTunes and it was good to go! Yay.
