IPod software not correctly installed.

Lately my iTunes started giving me an error message when I plug my iPod into my computer. It says something like "The software required to communicate with the iPod has not been correctly installed.Reinstall iTunes to reinstall the iPod software." So i uninstall iTunes, clean out temporary files and leftover files from the installation, reboot my pc, then reinstall iTunes, but it still gives me the same error. I've also tried restarting the iPod service, but still the same error.

Hi,
That message generally means software isn't installed or there is an application conflict. Try reinstalling iTunes as described in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926 which provides *General installation troubleshooting* tips that resolve most installation issues.
If the issue persists after trying the tips in that article, you may want to look at the security software running on the PC. Try updating, reconfiguring or uninstalling the security software.

  • IPod software not properly installed?

    Suddenly everytime I open Itunes with my iPod nano 4G plug in.
    Itunes says "The software needed to communicate with the iPod is not properly installed. Install iTunes again before installing the iPod software."
    and removing iTunes and installing it again, does not work.
    please, what should I do. ??

    I had the same problem.
    What happened to me anyways is that the files in the folder
    c:/Program Files/iPod/bin/iPodService.Resorces/ were corrupted.
    If you tried installing itunes again and that didn't solve it, Try seeing if the iPodService is running in
    Administrator tools > Services.
    If its not started, start it and see if that solves the problem.

  • ITunes not correctly installed

    Hi - Issue: 'iTunes not correctly installed'.
    Re-installed but half-way thru got msg: 'Apple mobile device failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system: abort/retry/ignore'. Tried retry and ignore but got another message: 'error 7 (win error 193)
    I tried with and without my iPhone attached. iCloud has been updated from iPhone so there was successful communication during failed reloading of iTunes.
    Help please!

    Hey ALTNAHARRA,
    Follow the steps in this link to resolve the issue:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    When you uninstall, the items you uninstall and the order in which you do so arearticularly important:
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Have a good one,

  • Keep getting error message: Windows installer is not correctly installed

    Hello all..
    After trying to install some software or getting the thinkvantage update I keep getting this error message.
    "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."
    So I've restarted and made sure I was in normal mode. Didn't help.  Does anyone have any idea before I put this thing into the shop?? LOL

  • Ipod software not working, so cannot sync ipod on 64-bit Vista

    It took me a while to find the 64-bit version of iTunes (which is mentioned on this site but i couldn't find it, found it elsewhere).
    So now i want to sync my ipod (i moved from a XP computer to this one, so I've synced before). On this entire site i could not find ipod software that was up to date, so I had to use my REALLY old software CD, which i doubted would work with iTunes 8. So i installed, rebooted, plugged in ipod, and it says my iPod software wasn't installed properly, and to reinstall iTunes. Bear in mind this is the 2006 iPod software.
    So without the software i cannot sync my ipod. Installing iTunes with the cd (iPod + iTunes) will give me the 32-bit version of iTunes. What can i do?
    btw i tried disk mode, didn't work, since the software wasn't installed.

    Since I don't have Windows XP or Windows Vista 64, I didn't try to answer your question, and there apparently weren't any other users here with this issue. Since we are all doing this voluntarily I didn't realize there was any obligation to answer your question.
    And if you are using a 64-bit browser and you download iTunes it will install the 64-bit version.

    Hi Abdallah,
    According to your description, could you please post the summary and detail logs for further analysis? By default, the logs can be found in: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Setup Bootstrap\Log.
    Usually, the error occurs when the Windows Installer Service is not running or the Windows Installer registry settings are corrupted.  I recommend you reset the Windows Installer Service settings in the registry and restart the Windows Installer Service,
    then reinstall SQL Server 2008 R2. For more details, please review this similar

    latest message indicates I need Apple Application Update
    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Uprade from SnowLeopard to Lion: System Extension not correctly installed

    After having upgraded from Mac OS X Snow Leopard to Lion I get lots of error messages saying "System extension not correctly installed" (in german:  "Systemerweiterung kann nicht verwendet werden."). Does anybody has suggestions what to do ? Remove all these extensions? And what is the problem anyway: Are these extensions not compatible with MacOS Lion ? I would have exptect that the installer itself solves the problems.
    Thanks for your advice!

    try these user tips:
    try removing the Genius database. In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.
    and, if you have flip4mac installed
    I found that the TSLicense plugin was causing the problem.
    From the log:
    PlugIn Path: /Library/Frameworks/TSLicense.framework/Versions/A/TSLicense
    PlugIn Identifier: net.telestream.license
    This pIugin is installed with the Flip4Mac Windows Media Components. I solved the problem by uninstalling the WM Components via the uninstaller at /Applications/Flip4Mac/Flip4Mac WMV Uninstaller.pkg, after which iTunes opens successfully.

    Gary,
    Thanks for getting back to me - I gave up on getting this to work yesterday so Im hoping today will be better. I tried your suggestion of holding down the shift key and it didnt work. I have tried alot of stuff that I found posted in the discussions - I tried doing what you suggested Hewtab do - following the article, IPod appears in Window but not in Itunes. I have shut down my virus software - I even restored my computer back to before I installed Itunes and tried to reinstall it but no go - that made it even worse. When I try to uninstall or reinstall Itunes or the Ipod software it wont let me. - It simply says Product_Name ws not found in string table. IS there anything else I can do? Im about to download winamp and be done with itunes.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

  • "iPod software not installed correctly" message.

    I posted an earlier topic, but the initial problem has been resolved.
    Whenever I plug my iPod into my PC, iTunes gives a message that the iPod software is not installed properly and to reinstall it. I've reinstalled it twice now. The iPod works on my brother's computer and it is recognized fine. What is causing this problem?
    Thanks.

    hi Grady!
    just checking to see where you're at. (i saw your other post, and thought from that that you might have fixed this issue.)

  • Any other option besides restore? ipod software not recognized.....

    I have an 80gb 5th gen. Using it with my Windows XP it was fine. I recently got a Windows Vista HP laptop and it worked fine until today, when I plugged it in and transfered music, iTunes froze midway. So I unplugged the iPod and iTunes closed. I plugged it in again and the blue screen came up saying there was a memory dump needed and it restarted the PC.
    Additionally to crashing my PC, it messed up my iPod software so now I cannot listen to music or videos. The files are still on the iPod when I check through disk mode, but when I use the iPod itself no songs or movies show up. Some of the songs on the iPod when viewed through disk mode are also unrecognized when played through windows media player, a few are fine however but still do not show up on the iPod.
    The files are still there when you use disk mode, but when you use the iPod no files show up. When I plug in my iPod to iTunes it says the iPod files are not readable by iTunes and that I must restore my iPod to company settings. Is there any way I can repair my iPod without having to restore it and erase all my music/videos, I have 74GB of media and some things are not on my computer anymore. Is it possible to restore the iPod to an earlier savepoint? I do not know if the iTunes program automatically creates backup points but if there is a way please let me know. I am very very reluctant to restore my iPod to company settings so help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

    I have exactly the same problem i use a 60 GB video ipod which shows that i tunes cant play content from the ipod when i connect it to any computer after connecting to the HP laptop that had vista on it. so please if someone knows how to fix it without loosing the media from the ipod tell me how to do it! i got 6500 songs on there!
