Q: I erased my iPod nano with disk utility and tried to restore but I get a 1430 error and it never restores.

Ok so I tried to connect my iPod nano to my computer, but when I opened iTunes, the iPod automatically ejected. I thought that restoring it would fix that, but since I couldn't restore it in iTunes because it kept ejecting itself, I decided to erase it using disk utility. I read on here that it's possible to do that. So then my iPod said to restore in iTunes after I erased it, so I did, but it failed with an 1430 error. How do I fix it? Is my iPod destroyed for good?

iPod nano, iPod Nano 5th Generation

Take a look at this support document regarding that error. iPod: Can't restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439 - Apple Support

I have tried 1-5, I can't do 7 & 8 because it's in recovery mode, I can't find solution 1 in number 9, I have a Mac so number 10 does not apply to me, and number 11 doesn't either because I have no third party security software.

Then you will probably need to either make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple store or contact Apple Care.

I fixed it by trying to restore it on a different Mac. But thanks for the help.
