I recently bought a used ipod. It doesn't appear in itunes when I plug it into my computer. I wanted to reset it, but since it didn't connect to itunes I tried first putting it in disk mode. This worked. I then plugged it into my computer. It popped up on itunes with a message that said my ipod was corrupted and it needs to be reformated. I pushed the restore button. I progress bar appeared but soon afterward an error message popped up with an unknown error. I think the number (1418) was listed. I'm not sure if that was the correct number. Is there a way to fix this problem. I would just like to retore it.

According to Apple, if you have forgotten the code, you can unlock the IPod by doing the following:
Connect your IPod to the primary computer you use it with (the first one IPod synced with), and open iTunes. When you disconnect iPod from the computer, it will no longer be locked. If you can't unlock IPod using either [the code or connecting it to the computer you use to manage its songs]. . . you can restore your iPod to factory settings using iPod Updater. Please note that this will erase all data on your iPod. Afterwards, you can add your music and data back to your iPod.
If you want to change the primary computer that your IPod is associated with, do this:
1. Restore your iPod. WARNING: The restore process cannot be undone. All of your songs and files will be deleted. Always make a backup of your important data.
2. Connect your iPod to the computer that you want to be the primary computer.
3. Open iTunes and synchronize. Apple also notes that company "representatives cannot unlock an iPod if you forget your combination. If you can't unlock your iPod and you don't have access to the primary computer, your only option is to restore the IPod, which will erase all music and data."
