Ipod service could not be installed

Installing update to iTunes on PC and getting error "ipod service could not be installed" and now my ipod shuffle is not being recognized.

steps below worked for me ( windows 7 x86/32bits )
close SysInternals's Process Explorer ( if you have it and it's open )
close all Task Manager(s)
close Windows Services console ( services.msc )
close all command prompts ( cmd.exe )
open a cmd.exe as Admin
run: sc create "iPod Service" binpath= "C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.exe"
close all command prompts ( cmd.exe )
open Windows Services console ( services.msc )
look for "iPod Service", see if it's not Disabled. If so, start it
close Windows Services console ( services.msc )
Run iTunes.msi again ( previously downloaded via the Apple Software Update's Only Download function )

Cannot Load iTunes 10.0 Because "iPod service could not be installed".

When I tried to upgrade to iTunes 10.0 I received an error message and was told to uninstall and reinstall iTunes. When I tried to install 10.0 . I got the following error message "Service 'iPod Service' (iPod Service) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services." It then won't let me proceed with the installation. What can I do to install the new version of iTunes?

I have a similar problem when trying to upgrade to iTunes 10. The iPod Services exists but won't start - either automatically or manually. Have uninstalled, deleted, reinstalled following lots of different suggested paths but nothing has resolved it so far. Can no longer synch with iPod or synch photos/video/music with iPad

How do I get iTunes Helper to run again?
How do I get the iTunes update to version 7.6 to successfully install?
Thank you for your help.

Before reinstalling everything, I'm curious if you've ever used your System Configuration Utility on your computer? Click Start > Run and type msconfig. Click OK. Is the option for 'selective startup' selected? If so, click the Startup tab and make sure iTunesHelper and qttask are selected, and then click the Services tab and make sure iPodService and AppleMobileDevice are selected.
If that is not the case, I would recommend removing everything and reinstalling.
My recommended technique is as follows:
Go into Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
Remove these applications:
1. Apple Software Update
2. Apple Mobile Device Support
3. iPod for Windows (this may or may not exist, either way, it's not needed so we can remove it)
4. iTunes
5. QuickTime
Restart the computer
Download & Install the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Launch the Utility: Start > Programs > Windows Install Clean Up
Select any of the above mentioned applications, and click Remove
Restart the computer again
Download & install iTunes again from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

ITunes does not install properly, 'iPod Service' could not be installed

During an iTunes update to latest version. The update failed, I downloaded manually and reinstalled but it still failed. I remove all apple applications from the PC. redownloaded iTunes and reinstalled again. This time I got the message 'Service 'iPod Service'(iPod Service) could not be installed. etc'.
I am an administrator I can install services.
I am using Windows XP Service Pack 3, using Norton Internet Security as a virus protection and firewall. Norton has been installed for 6 months and iTunes has been updating okay until the current update.

I've got the same problem. What's with Apple? You'd think they could send out an update that works. But, that hasn't happened in years. Tell us what to do, Apple! This is ridiculous!

ITunes will not update because 'iPod Service' could not be downloaded.

For many months now I have been trying to update my iTunes on my computer yet whenever the update is being downloaded I recieve an error message that tells me to go to the Tools menu and to download it from there. I do this and try to install the software again but whenever iTunes is in the process of being downloaded I get the message "Service 'iPod Service' (iPod Service) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services." But the thing is I am the administrator on this computer and I get this message everytime. To update I have been uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it. What can I do to fix this?

To update I have been uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it.
Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

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?

Itunes will not setup....'ipod service' could not be stopped

While installing itunes...at Status: Stopping Services...a box appears and says: 'ipod service' could not be stopped. Verify that you have suffiecient privileges to stop system services.
What does this mean?

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 7.0.2.16 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.

Itunes 10.2.2 not installing message is -Service 'ipad service'could not be installed. verify that you have sufficient privelge to install system services . I have windows 7 , am administrator in windows 7, but i have an iphone not an ipad, Hints?

I tunes tries to update over and over again to 10.2.2. Each time it fails and lists message"Service 'ipad service'could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privelege to install system services."
I have an iphone and use itunes to update it. I do not have an ipad if that is an issue. Is this problem related to apple, or to Windows vista? I am system administrator on Windows 7 so the problem must be related to apple. I would appreciate a clue as to what I need to do. Or are there sufficient problems with 10.2.2 that I should be happy it will not update? This problem is getting beyond annoying since i have work to do other than cater to apple itunes.

I would say it is Windows.
Which are you using btw, Vista or 7?
And did you download the 64-bit version if that is what you run?
There were a lot of tips to troubleshoot (never needed to in 4 yrs though knock on wood).
Uninstall itunes
run chckdsk and sfc /scannow
CCleaner 3.05
If 7 did you upgrade to SP1? Driver Sweeper has been known to cause some problems with Windows 7 SP1

Ipod service could not be found

ipod service could not be found

Are you saying that an error message says that the Apple Mobile Device Mobile Service is not started when you connect the iPod to your computer? If that is the case see:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
Otherwise more clearly describe the problem together with the exact wording of any error messages.

What does this mean? Service "Bonjour Service" could not be installed...

Service "Bonjour Service" could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services. How do I "Verify" that I have "sufficient privileges." I have tried unistalling and reinstalling Bonjour. But everytime I try to download the new version of Itunes this error message pops up. I first encounter the problem when I was trying to preview a song on itunes. I clicked the song but it would not play. I then tried playing music previoulsy pruchased music and it still wouldn't play. So far I have removed Itunes and Bonjour and then reinstalled them, but I am still recieving this message. Can anyone help.

FIM Service could not be installed

Experts,
I am installing FIM 2010 R2 SP1.
installation order
step1 on server1 - FIM Synchronization server
step2 on server2 - FIM Service
step3 on server3 - FIM Portal
FIM Synchronization service installed successfully.
while installing FIM Service. All things goes smoothly but FIM Service is not visible in services.msc.
What could be reason?
Should I install Portal first?
Thanks,
Mann

You can install FIM Service and FIM Portal at the same time as seen on this guide
Step 8: Install FIM Synchronization Service, FIM Portal, SSPR, and FIM Reporting
What happens if you open your browser in your FIM server and go to
http://YourFIMServer/identitymanagement or
https://YourFIMServer/identitymanagement if you have enabled SSL?
He is not installing FIM Portal at the same box - so /identitymanagement would not work here...
Keep trying If you found my post helpful, please give it a Helpful vote. If it answered your question, remember to mark it as an Answer.

Itunes pulls up error stating that ipod service could not be stoped

I got an ipod for christmas and i cant use it because when I go to download the ItunesSetup it says that i have to verify that I have sufficient privileges to stop system services and I dont know how to fix it

FYI - I'm having the same problem. At first, I loaded iTunes successfully, but got a generic pop-up windows error message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I tried the "repair" option from the website and thats were I got the ipod services message.
I noticed my Windows XP was service pack 1 so I loaded Service Pack 2... then I reloaded iTunes and still get the same generic error message.
There has got to be an easy answer, lets hope someone can find it for us.

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.
