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.

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.

Software necessary to communicate with Ipod not properly installed

Hi,
I updated my Itunes software and have been having problems ever since. Every time I connect my Ipod I get the message: "Software necessary to communicate with Ipod not properly installed. Reinstall Itunes..." After I click Ok it goes to Itunes but it does not recognized the Ipod. Now I have reinstalled several times and even downgraded to a previous Itunes version but keep getting the same error. Even though I don't know if this has anything to do with it, yesterday I noticed that I cannot watch any YouTube videos either, i get the error: "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player" Any help would be highly appreciated!

A lot of users are getting this. See 'can not open iTunes' obove this in the forum

Itunes was not properly installed

On opening Itunes i get the message "Itunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CD's you need to reinstall Itunes". I am able to import a CD without any problem but not able to burn a CD. I have done a clean uninstall by removing Itunes, Quicktime, Apple software update, Apple mobile device support, Bonjour and Apple application support. I have now tried this three times. I understand that it could be a problem with the GearAspiwdm.sys driver. I don't appear to have this driver installed. I have tried the gear support site and downloaded the driver installer but don't seem able to locate the gear driver anywhere on the system. Can any one help? I would be eternally grateful!
When i managed to load the gear drivers my PC would not recognise any CD/DVD drive on my system.

Well, after a reinstall, it obviously works again... But the question is: for how long. The last time this solved this issue, it remained solved for just under a week. So, if it still works in just over a week, I will consider the issue solved.

I don't think this one is a variation of the device filter troubles, Littlebirt.
Checking something from the diagnostics:
+Virtual drives can sometimes interfere with reading and writing CDs in iTunes. If this is a virtual drive and you are having problems with other drives, try uninstalling the virtual CD application.+
Is there any virtual drive software (like, say, Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120%) installed on the PC?

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 Tamekia,
I am sorry to hear nothing has worked yet. I have looked up some additional information and possible solutions. Follow the steps in this document to perform a level-three uninstall, register the Windows Installer Service, and then reinstall the HP software. An uninstall and reinstall of the software deletes and overwrites any of the files that might cause the error and resets the Windows Installer. HP recommends that you download the latest software from the HP Web site to remove any files that might be causing this error.
Level-three uninstall, and register the Windows Installer Service

Get error message that says, "ITunes not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CD's, you must reinstall Itunes."

Hello:
I have installed Itunes on my new Windows 7 based computer (64 bit) and get the following error message everytime the program opens, "ITunes not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CD's, you must reinstall ITunes." So, I have removed ITunes, Quick Time and Apple associated software, twice, from my computer and reinstalled the latest version (10.4.1) but get no fix to the problem. ITunes will import CD's but will not burn them with this error in place. Anybody know how to fix this problem?

if you have 64bit os this is problem:
Any 64-bit version of Windows is not supported so you should expect certain things not to work. From Apple's iTunes page the Windows requirements are:
32-bit editions of Windows XP or Vista
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later required for Apple TV or iPhone
500 MHz Pentium class processor or better
QuickTime 7.1.6 or later (included)
256MB RAM
Supported CD-R or DVD-R drive to burn CDs
Broadband Internet connection (DSL/Cable/LAN) for buying and streaming music

TS3299 iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTunes

I've installed iTunes 10.6 on my Windows 7 machine. Everytime I start it I get this message: iTunes was not properly installed. If you wish to import or burn CDs you need to reinstall iTunes.
Reinstalling iTunes made no difference.
So I found this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3299 and updated the registry like it said and it still didn't work but it also had the effect of making my CD drive no longer work for anything, including playing movies. Before following those instructions I could read and write cds using Windows Media player. Fortunately, I had backed up my registry leaf and restored it.
So I've been trying to figure out how to burn a cd from iTunes for close to two months now with no luck. Does anybody know how to get rid of the above error message?
Thank you!
David

Getting iTunes was not properly installed

iTunes has been installed on my Windows XP box for several years. I am running version 10.5.3.3.

Any ideas?

Maybe PL/SQL Developer is trying to use some missing registry values, or a missing ORACLE_HOME environment variable
Check the ORACLE_HOME is pointing to your 10g client path, and then try to add the following entries in the registry, making a .reg file with the following, replacing with your paths, and executing (from Windows PATH variable
