  • "Stopping iPod Services" trouble

    When I am trying to install the new software of iTunes it appears this trouble..
    I tried to go to "My Computer" and make the "Manage" thing and I cant even select a "Stop" "Restart" anything.
    I tried to download - restart - install strategy and got the same problem.
    Even I cannot uninstall iTunes because of this..
    And got to make this cause iTunes doesnt recognize my iPod because I send it to repair to a Apple store.
    I didint found any results... this is like curing a cancer
    So please help!!
    P.D: If you can... send me a email on [email protected].. but if you want to answer here
    Please help!!

    Whenever you get the error, press CTRL-ALT-DELETE on the keyboard, and click on the Processes tab along the top of Task Manager.
    Find iPodService in the list, and end the process. Click 'Retry', and it will go through.

  • IPod Service error when installing iTunes 7.3.1

    When I tried to upgrade to iTunes 7.3.1, towards the end of the install it said that it couldn't install iPod Service. I've tried erasing my Temp directory and turning off iTunes Helper when installing, but nothing works. Help!

    Hmmmm. What's the precise text of the message you get mentioning the iPod Service? There's a couple that i'm familiar with, but the way you describe your error makes it sound a bit different from those ones.

  • How can I create shortcut to ipod service

    I am unable to fix the problem of "windows recognizes ipod, itunes does not" I have tried ALL the fixs that Apple has posted and I still have to restart my ipod service everytime I want to sync my ipod.
    Does anyone know how I can make a shortcut to my "ipod service" so I can restart it more quickly than right clicking my computer and all the rest?
    Even better but not likely. I wish this problem never started and that Apple would fix it.
    But the shortcut will ease the pain.
    Thanks in advance

    Create a batch file (save a notepad document with a .bat extention) and add these lines to it:
    net stop "iPod Service"
    net start "iPod Service"
    Double clicking this batch file will restart your iPod Service

  • Error 1921 Ipod Service could not be stopped

    I am trying to install Itunes 7.6 + Quicktime. On the download status screen it says Status: Stopping Service. The green activity bar stops and after awhile an error message pops up that says - Error 1921. Ipod Service could not be stopped. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to stop system services. It says retry and cancel. Pushing retry only results in the same error. I don't know what this means.

    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 any 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.)
    Latest iTunes 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?

  • Can't install iTunes 9 on Vista. iPod services have stopped?

    I can't installed iTunes 9 on my Windows Vista PC. When I try to install, the installation process gets to about 95% complete, then an error pops up saying "Serice 'iPod Sevice' (iPod Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start the service". I also get a Windows System error that says "iPod service module (64-bit) stopped working and was closed". I can't install iTunes 9 and can't find any answers. And yes, I'm installing iTunes as the system Admin. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    My problem is with Vista, but slightly different to the above.
    I bought a new Vista PC yesterday and was able to download iTunes 8 to it.
    I'm also still using my old XP PC until I get the Vista one properly set up. Last night I ran all iTunes/iPhone/iPod Touch updates successfully on the XP machine.
    Today I am updating the Vista PC. Safari and Quick Time have downloaded.
    iTunes itself reaches 98.7 of 98.8 verified and then fails.
    The error message I am getting is ""The windows installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running in safe mode, or if the windows installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance"
    I have no idea what that means, does any Vista user know what the Windows Installer Service is and how I sort this out?
    There is a pop appearing occasionally about setting up 'winlock' - I have no idea what that is (need to google to find out) so have ignored that until I understand what it is.
    I've tried both running direct from the download and saving to my PC but still the same error message. Odd that the program installed yesterday but the updated version will not do so today.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

  • I'm getting this error: Service "iPod Service" could not be stopped

    Verify that you have sufficient privileges to stop system services." Does anyone know what that means?
    Dell   Windows 2000  

    When does this error message appear to you? (i.e., what were you doing that caused it to occur?)
    If you're going to Task Manager to stop a Process called "iPodService.exe", you may need to go to an administrator user account on your computer to stop the process in Task Manager, not under a limited-account.

  • Service 'iPod Service' failed to start and Error 1503

    Thanks to all the people who have provided answers posts... they have helped me get to this point!...
    I have a slight variation on this issue - an Error 1503...
    My original symptom was that I couldn't get iTunes to recognise my iPod so I tried to install 7.2.0.35... and right at the end I got the message about "iPod service failed to start check your permissions"...
    I use AVG Free 7.5.472, Sygate Personal Firewall 5.6 and Spybot Search and Destroy 1.4, but for the install I have used msconfig to shut down everything other than iTunes and QuickTime...
    When I run services.msc I get 2 versions of iPod Service listed - one as "iPod Service" and the other as"iPodService" (i.e. no space between iPod and Service)... the "iPodService" is started but the "iPod Service" is not and when I try to start it I get a message "Could not start the iPod Service service on Local Computer. Error 1503: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"
    Would appreciate any assistance!...
    Many thanks in advance...

    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.

    Well, why don't you manually stop the iPod service before you start the install? Right click on My Computer, select Manage, go to Service, select the iPod Service and stop it.

  • Error stopping 'Bonjour Service' when trying to download itunes 9.2

    i recently tried to update itunes to 9.2 on my windows. The automatic download had an error so i ended up having to do it manually. When trying to download itunes, i encountered an error message saying that bojour services could not be stopped. It asked me to verify that I have sufficient privelages to stop system services (??!!). I decided I would try to delete bonjour all together, but i couldn't find it anywhere on my computer. I am so confused and all i really want is to update itunes. Please help!!

    HRESULT: 0x8007054f.
    ... that seems to have been the most popular alphanumeric code in recent days. (Just like katherine's one.)
    In general, these ones tend to be caused by underlying problems on the PC that can prevent Windows Updates from installing. So my main strategy with them is to try to fix the Windows Update issues. If we can get Windows Updates flowing again, that generally clears up the iTunes install errors +en passant.+
    Head into your Windows Update, and check for any new updates. Do any fail? If so, open your Update History and doubleclick on the failure entries to bring up a small box with alphanumeric error message codes. Are you getting 8000FFFFs? (They often seem to be associated with an iTunes-install 0x8007054f.)
    If you're getting 8000FFFFs, try the following Microsoft document:
    [Windows Update Error 8000FFFF|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error- 8000FFFF]
    Head back to Windows Update, and see if you can get Updates to install successfully this time. If you can get updates now, stock up on any updates you're behind on. Once you're completely up to date in that regard, try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • TS1567 What if the "Stop the service" is not available?

  • 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!!!!

  • 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.
