  • When I download itunes, it says that Ipod Service failed to start. I checked the services under task manager and when I try to start it, it says access denied. How to I get access and for the ipod service to start and run?

    Please help. My ipod classic could not be recognised by itunes when I connect my ipod to PC. Previously it has been recognised before I updated. This was a while ago now and so I removed all apple files and re installed the latest itunes but am having the same problem.
    When I download itunes, it says that Ipod Service failed to start. I checked the services under task manager and when I try to start it, it says access denied. How to I get access and for the ipod service to start and run?

    Some anti-virus programs (e.g., McAfee) have this rule that can be invoked under the "maximum protection" settings: PREVENT PROGRAMS REGISTERING AS A SERVICE. If that rule is set to BLOCK, then any attempt to install or upgrade iTunes will fail with an "iPod service failed to start" message.
    If you are getting this problem with iTunes, check to see if your anti-virus has this setting and unset it, at least for as long as the iTunes install requires. Exactly how to find the rule and turn it on and off will vary, depending upon your anti-malware software. However, if your anti-virus or anti-malware software produces a log of its activities, examining the log may help you find the problem.
    For example, here's the log entry for McAfee:
    9/23/2009 3:18:45 PM Blocked by Access Protection rule NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\iPod Service Common Maximum Protection:Prevent programs registering as a service Action blocked : Create
    Note that the log says "Common Maximum Protection: Prevent programs registering as a service". The "Common Maximum Protection" is the location of the rule, "Prevent programs registering as a service" is the rule. I used that information to track down the location in the McAfee VirusScan Console where I could turn the rule off.
    After I made the change, iTunes installed without complaint.

  • ITunes 9.0 install problem: iPod service fails to start, installer quits

    Hi,
    I tried to upgrade my iTunes from 8.XXX(I think it was latest 8) to 9.0 but run into this problem where the installer tries to start the iPod service and fails. The installer can not continue any more and it has to be rolled back. I uinstalled 8.xx and tried again but same result. I also tried the suggestion in another thread about stopping the AppleMobileDevice service and removing the folder but it did not help. This is the error message:
    "Product: iTunes -- Error 1920. Service 'iPod Service' (iPod Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
    I am logged in as the admin so I do have sufficient privileges.
    Is any one having the same problem? How do I make it work? I am using Win XP-Pro SP3 32bit.
    Thanks

    I also unistalled the itunesbabd quicktime and now I can't get it to download. It keeps sticking. I am concerned that my library is gone. I have no way of backing my files, laptop.
    I was finally able to make it work. I did the following steps:
    1. Delete/unistall every thing related to Apple/iTunes
    2. Delete itunes folder if its still there.
    3. open MSCONFIG->General->check off 'Load Startup Items'->click 'ok'
    4. Reboot
    5. Install iTunes
    6. You can turn on Load Startup Items after iTunes installs.
    Hope this help. Thanks for all the help. It sure was annoying!!!!

  • IPod Service Failing to Start and Priveleges

    Before
    When iTunes 6.whatever was out, my iPod did not work at all, but I continued using iTunes for music.
    iTunes 7
    I plug my iPod in and got the common message "iPod is corrupted. Press restore to restore it", etc. It never works.
    Why it doesn't work
    It brings the message "Servie 'iPod Service' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privledges to start system services"
    Any help? How do I get these 'priveleges'?
    ?   Windows XP  

    I had been experiencing this error for a long time since iTunes 7 released. I tried different ways to resolve it. Untill today, I found a possible resolution and sucsessfully install iTunes 7.3.1.3. I think that might be helpful.
    First, remove all previrous itunes and install the lates t release. You will stuck when trying to start iPod service. Open c:\program files\iPod\bin. You will see iPodService. Double click it. If you got an error about a .dll file (mine is setupapi.dll), remember it and you can continue....
    2nd, put xp disk in dvd/cd-rom. Open C:\WINDOWS\system32 and locate the .dll file and rename it. This moment, your cd is running trying to rebuild the dll file just renamed.
    3rd, when cd-rom stop running. Retry to start service again. Good luck, I hope you can resolve it.
    I checked some microsoft KB for this error. This might happen when xp system been customized or dll file corrupted.

  • Please Help - "iPod service failed to start...."

    I have an iPod mini. I have Windows XP. I needed to upgrade my iTunes to get a song I really wanted. And this is what happened...
    -It was 'registering iPod service and a window pops up and says "Could not start service"
    -I hit "OK"
    -After a minute or two, a window pops up and says 'iPod service failed to start. Verify that you have sufficiant privileges to start system services'
    What do I Do?
    iPod Mini   Windows XP  

    it then said "Could not update environment variable 'PATH'. Verify that you have sufficient privilages to modify environment variables."
    that's fairly exotic on a 7.0.x install. (for some reason there have been all manner of kinky error messages showing up for folks over the last couple of days. i'm having to say "exotic" a lot.)
    okay, let's try working through the general troubleshooting advice from the following document:
    Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime software in Windows
    ... but if no joy there, let's get an itunes 7 installer log to the Apple engineers for a look.
    1. Open a command prompt window. (Start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return.)
    2. Drag and drop iTunesSetup.exe onto the window so that the full pathname of the file is at the command line prompt.
    3. Type in a space, then the following line:
    /l*v C:\log.txt
    4. Hit return.
    5. The installer will create a log file:
    C:\log.txt
    Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address.
    in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
    - A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
    - The username you are using in the thread
    - The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use

  • 7.3 iTunes :service 'iPod service' (iPod service) failed to start."

    Please help me i'm desperate. Ok so, i go to update and charge my ipod and when i plug in my ipod and open ituens it says that i need to download 7.3 for some reason i didnt think much of it. basically i tried downloading it, and when it go to the very end of the download it said, "service 'iPod service' (iPod service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." ok that would help if i knew what the heck that was! so i've tried uninstalling and downloading, downloading older versions, looking for iPod service, and i've tried downloading, restarting and then trying to install but still the same exact problem. even when i hit retry the same message comes up, and now i have no itunes and i have no clue what to do, please help me i'm seriously desperate!
    -thanks

    ... i'll see your "oh dear" and raise you a "good gracious!" ...
    You are the second person in a matter of days that i've seen report identical symptoms. keiko ran into precisely the same trouble:
    I followed your directions and when i selected manage i got a message saying "Snap-in failed to initialize. Name:Shared Folders Extension CLSID:{58221C69-EA27-11CF-ADCF-00AA00A80033}". Then once i got into the screen i found the tab marked services and applications. i expanded that and and all that i found was WMI Control and Indexing Service.
    That's in the following thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4916874#4916874
    That has me worried that there might be new something going around messing with folks' snap-ins.
    We'd better try getting the malware possibility covered.
    Download fresh definitions, and run vigorous virus and spyware scans. if your security software providers offer them, try running "online scans" too. (They can sometimes pick up an infection even if the software on the PC has been compromised.)
    Do the scans pick anything up? If so, what does the security software call them? (names assigned to viruses and spyware tend to differ, depending on what security software you are using.)

  • Error during iTunes 10 installation - iPod Service failed to start

    Hi Everyone,
    I am getting this error during installation of iTunes 10(Windows XP).
    +*"Service (iPod Service)failed to start.Verify that you have sufficient priveleges to start system services."*+
    *Can any of you please help?* I ignored it first and continued with the installation. Then tried to update iphone to iOS 4.1 which crashed. I had to go to Apple store to get my iphone restored. I am having trouble installing itunes and cannot restore data from backup.
    I tried uninstalling itunes and deleted all itunes data as suggested by the guy at the Apple store. Still not working. Will appreciate if someone can help resolve this error. Thanks.

    I just got off the phone with Apple tech support. The problem with that iPod Service is a problem with XP Service Pack 3, but can be fixed this way:
    1. Right click on "My Computer", select "Properties"
    2. Click on the Advanced tab.
    3. in the Startup and Recovery section, click the Settings button.
    4. Click the Edit byutton to edit your boot.ini file in notepad.
    5. Look for "/noexecute=" in the file and change the word after the equals to "optin" (sorry - I don't remember what the original setting was anymore).
    6. Save the file, close notepad, click the OK button on Startup and Recovery window, then reboot.
    The warning message about the iPod Service should stop. Also, this helps with iPhones that are not recognized by Windows or iTunes after an install fails.

  • Is there a solution to the 'iPod Service failed to start' install problem?

    Like a lot of people, I have this problem that when I try to install iTunes 7 on Windows I get this error at the end:
    Service 'iPod Service' (iPod Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
    I tried various methods to solve this and none of them worked.
    Is there finally a solution from Apple regarding this issue?
    I am about to purchase an iPod Classic and this is a major drawback for me.

    Methods that I already tried (that I can remember):
    1. Uninstall iTunes + QuickTime and delete everything from the hard drive that's related to apple, including the registry, used CCleaner and install iTunes 7.5 - didn't work.
    2. run msconfig, disable all services (with MS services hidden) and startup apps, restarting and trying to install it again - didn't work.
    3. Trying to start the service manually with services.msc during the installation when the error appears - gives me an error.
    I did manage to install iTunes 7.0.2 (from OldVersion.com) and I tried to install iTunes 7.5 on top of it with the same results.

  • Service 'iPod Service' (iPod Service) Failed to start error.

    Hey guys, Louie here, I seem to always get an error installing the new iTunes on my computer. My computer is running Windows XP Service Pack 2 so there should be no problems there. I also surpass the minimum requirments. When I begin installation, about 2/3 of the way done, it gives me an error stating "Service 'iPod Service' (iPod Service) Failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services." Now, I dont have a clue whether this related to being comptuer Admin, because I already am. The options I am given are:
    Retry - Just attempts again, wasting another 15 minutes and fails, giving the same error and options.
    or
    Cancel - Completely ends the installation and uninstalls my precious iTunes.
    Wondering if any of you IT experts have a solution to my problem. Thanks alot.
    Louie Infusino

    that can happen sometimes if the itunes installer is having a hard time shutting down either itunes or quicktime (or applications using quicktime) prior to the install. so let's try a "download, restart, then install strategy."
    leave your ipod unplugged.
    download and save a copy of the itunes installer to your hard drive. (do not run the install on line, and do not start the install by clicking on the iTunesSetup.exe (installer) file just yet.)
    iTunes 7.3.2.6 Installer
    shut down running applications and restart the PC.
    do not open any other applications prior to attempting the iTunes install. switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.
    does the install go through properly this time?

  • IPOD SERVICE FAILED TO START

    I am honestly at my last nerve with Apple. What company makes you pay for live chat support? I'm a short step away for trading in my IPod and buying a Zune.
    Every time I try to install iTunes, an error message pops up saying "Service iPod service failed to start, make sure you have admin privileges." I originally had to re-install iTunes, because every time I'd sync my iPod, it would give me the SAME MESSAGE.
    I've gone through the threads that have people that have the same problem, no other method works and I'm **** sure not about to re install my entire PC. DOES anyone HAVE AN ANSWER? Customer service has failed me, something Apple PRIDES itself on, now I'd love it and appreciate it if someone could just HELP ME.

    I had the same problem.
    Then I tried to start the ipodservice.exe (which is in the c:\progam files\ipod\bin folder) directly with a double click. The system told me, that the user32.dll has moved in memory and that i need a newer one.
    I looked at the version of user32.dll and it was 5.1.2600.2180.
    Fortunately i had 2 other PC with Windows XP, and on one of them there was a newer version of user32.dll: 5.1.2600.3099.
    So - i renamed the old user32.dll to user32.old (which is in the windows\system32 folder), and copied the newer user32.dll.
    Then i restartet windows, installed iTunes and.... it worked!!!!
    I hope this will help you!

  • "iPod service failed to start" during install

    Trying to update iTunes to the latest version however, I get the message "Service, 'iPod service' (iPod Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privleges to start system services"
    I'm using the administrator account. I can (sometimes) see the ipod service when i run services.msc from the run dialog box however i am unable to start it from there either as it says there's something missing. I've tried following the complete uninstall of iTunes and quicktime instructions on the apple support pages to no avail.
    Whilst the installer wont finish, i can still run the new version of iTunes by opening it form the 'program files\itunes' folder but if i try to close the install box, iTunes gets uninstalled again.
    I do vaguely remember disabling / doing something to the ipod service at one point for reasons i don't remember. I realise this is most likely the cause but how to solve it... i'm drawing blanks.
    Bring me back my iTunes... Please.

  • "iPod Service Failed to Start" message when upgrading iTunes

    When upgrading iTunes from Version 7 to the newest version, I got an error message stating "Service, 'iPod Service' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient priviledges to start system services." So I canceled the download and rolled back to Version 7 again. I did notice that now I'm getting an error message when I start up Version 7, stating that it could not start the iPod service. I just bought an ipod Classic and cannot use it without the latest version of iTunes. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    Some anti-virus programs (e.g., McAfee) have this rule that can be invoked under the "maximum protection" settings: PREVENT PROGRAMS REGISTERING AS A SERVICE. If that rule is set to BLOCK, then any attempt to install or upgrade iTunes will fail with an "iPod service failed to start" message.
    If you are getting this problem with iTunes, check to see if your anti-virus has this setting and unset it, at least for as long as the iTunes install requires. Exactly how to find the rule and turn it on and off will vary, depending upon your anti-malware software. However, if your anti-virus or anti-malware software produces a log of its activities, examining the log may help you find the problem.
    For example, here's the log entry for McAfee:
    9/23/2009 3:18:45 PM Blocked by Access Protection rule NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\iPod Service Common Maximum Protection:Prevent programs registering as a service Action blocked : Create
    Note that the log says "Common Maximum Protection: Prevent programs registering as a service". The "Common Maximum Protection" is the location of the rule, "Prevent programs registering as a service" is the rule. I used that information to track down the location in the McAfee VirusScan Console where I could turn the rule off.
    After I made the change, iTunes installed without complaint.
