IPodService Module crashing

Since today I've had a problem with my iTunes, were everytime I connect my iPod (Photo) to the computer, an error box pops up saying there's something wrong wtih the iPodService Module, and just crashes.
Error signature -
szAppName : iPodService.exe szAppVer : 7.2.0.35
szModName : iPodService.exe szModVer : 7.2.0.35 offset : 00026979
Files included in error - C:\DOCUME~1\Shaun\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERf9d8.dir00\iPodService.exe.mdmp
C:\DOCUME~1\Shaun\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERf9d8.dir00\appcompat.txt
The problem ONLY happens when my iPod is connected either before starting iTunes, or after having started it.
Any help to get my iTunes uploading to the iPod again is greatly appreciated.

I’ve noticed others having this problem but have not seen and easy fix. One guy went and cleaned up his registry. I don’t think I should have to do that.
If you Device Manager is currently still blank, and the Symantec fix did not work for you, then that may be your best option for getting the iPod syncing again.
For the manual registry-editing technique, see the following Microsoft document:
Device Manager and Network Connections may be blank after you install Windows XP Service Pack 3
(If you can get your Device Manager displaying properly, the iPod Service Module crash should also go away.)

  • IPodService Module Crash on iTunes startup

    Since upgrading to iTunes 10 iTunes does not auto open when i connect my 3GS iphone. as soon as I manually start the program a pop up appears stating that iPodService Module (32-bit) has encountered a problem and needs to close.
    Luckily the sync to the phone will actually continue though.
    Error Signature info as below
    AppName: ipodservice.exe
    AppVer: 10.0.0.68
    ModName: ntdll.dll
    ModVer: 5.1.2600.5755
    Offset: 0001b21a

    Too bad I didn't see PapaPie's message.
    I had upgraded to iTunes 10 a couple of weeks back and had gotten the iPodService module crash each time on restarting iTunes (or connecting my iphone). However my iphone continued to sync inspite of the crash.
    So when 4.1 became available, I decided to do the upgrade. And ended up with a bricked phone.
    On seeing PapaPie's message I went to the Apple Store and they restored the phone (to 4.1) using an existing computer but that wiped out all data.
    However, I was able to connect it to iTunes 10 on my laptop again and do a restore to recover everything. And my iPhone is 4.1.
    So - main problem (iphone bricked) was solved.
    But I am still getting the iPodService crash each time I start iTunes 10 or connect my iphone.
    I am running a Lenovo T400 with XP Pro SP3 and I did get an iPodService install error during the iTunes 10 install. I have tried with my Firewall and AV disabled (both Symantec) and reinstalling iTunes but there's still a problem.
    In my services.msc (Run->services.msc) console, I still can't start ipodservice. Eventviewer shows a problem.

  • IPodService module crash when iTunes 10 is in installation process

    OS: Win XP pro with service pack 3 32bit
    iPodService module crash when iTunes 10 is in installation process. System says that they can't run module. iTunes is run but work incorrect (for example I can't postpone my purchases from the phone to iTunes). I think that the problem of incompatibility of iPodService module with Servise Pack 3.

    I am having the same problem. I am running Windows XP SP3. I got the same message about not being able to start the iPodService. It offered me the chance to ignore the problem so I did. Big mistake. iTunes seemed to work ok until I tried to upgrade to OS 4.1 on my iPhone. Apparently the service was needed for that because the ugrade failed and my iPhone is completely hosed. I can't use it at all.
    I uninstalled iTunes 10 and tried to find iTunes 9.2.1 on the Apple site but can not find it anywhere. I can only find the Mac version. I found the Windows version of 9.1.1 iTunes. So I downloaded and installed it.
    When I started iTunes 9.1.1 it complained that the library file was created with a later version of iTunes (makes sense because I had version 10 installed). So I deleted all the itl files. This blew away my library of course which ***** but I figured I could recreate it.
    So when I hooked my iPhone up, I tried to do a restore on it so I could get my iPhone going again. No luck. I got a message saying that it rquires at least iTunes 9.2.1.
    So now I am COMPLETELY SCREWED. My iPhone is dead in the water. My iTunes library is gone. And I see no way forward.
    iTunes 9.1.1 won't work for restoring my dead iPhone
    iTunes 9.2.1 for windows cannot be found anywhere on the apple site as far as I an tell. (would love to be proven wrong on this!)
    iTunes 10 won't install on my machine.
    I looked at the system event messages in windows XP. In the application events I see:
    Faulting application ipodservice.exe, version 10.0.0.68, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.5755, fault address 0x0001b21a.
    and
    Product: iTunes -- Error 1920. Service 'iPod Service' (iPod Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
    In the System events I see:
    The iPod Service service failed to start due to the following error:
    The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
    In the security events I see no errors or warnings, just info messages. None seem to be related to the iPhone or iTunes.
    I disabled my Symantec Firewall and Antivirus. Did not seem to help the iTunes install. I'm gonna try again just to make sure

  • IPodService Module Crashes

    Please, can anyone help me with this issue? It happened yesterday but I am not able to determine what it's really about. I'm using Windows XP and I have an 30GB 5G iPod.
    First of all, iPod is recognized by my computer. You can see the iPod in My Computer and you can access files on it. When I start iTunes to manage the music on my iPod, a window suddenly comes in saying "iPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    More details about the error: szAppName: iPodService.exe szAppVer: 7.0.2.16 szModName: iPodService.exe szModVer: 7.0.2.16 offset:00026332.
    Did anyone experience such a problem? Can anyone help me? I've already reinstalled iTunes few times and formatted the iPod. It is completely useless if I can't copy my music and videos onto it.
    Is there a way to contact Apple Support via e-mail and send them the error's MiniDump information?

    "iPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    let's get a crash log, and send it to the Apple engineers for a look.
    Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
    drwtsn32 -i
    And hit return.
    This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
    prior to collecting the iPod Service Module crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
    Generate the crash, collect the crash log, and 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
    - the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)

  • IPodService Module has encountered problem

    Hey all,
    I have a mini-Ipod and i'm having a real problem connecting to my machine ever since I upgraded to windows XP. Everytime I connect my mini-Ipod I am receiving the following error from windows, "IPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Has anyone run into the same situation? I have tried uninstalling and installing Itunes as well as stopping and starting the IpodService to no success. Any help would be greatly

  • IPodService Module failed under Windows XP SP3

    Greetings. Following the install of Win SP3, my iPodService Module fails.
    The error is: iPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close.
    I’ve tried restarting it, and that didn’t work.
    I'm running the latest version of Itunes. Have tried reinstalling and it still fails. Symantec’s site says the registry was affected during the SP3 install and has an EXE file to fix. That didn’t work.
    I’ve noticed others having this problem but have not seen and easy fix. One guy went and cleaned up his registry. I don’t think I should have to do that.
    Has anybody found a fix for this?
    Thank you,
    Steve

  • IPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close

    After allowing Windows XP to install Service Pack 3, I started getting the error message "iPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close" whenever I plugged my iPod 60 Gb into my PC. I spent months, literally, reading and asking and trying things before stumbling onto a fix that worked. I got the hint from a thread in some forum, then verified it with the software manufacturers. Apparently, Windows XP SP3 writes a bunch of garbage entries into your registry, and in the process corrupts some of the existing entries (thanks a lot, Microsoft, I mean really, thanks just too much. That service pack was soooo helpful). Included in the corrupted entries are a LOT of the ones used by Norton Antivirus 2008. This causes Norton to somehow prevent the device manager from recognizing anything (device manager window comes up blank) and apparently also causes iTunes to be unable to recognize the iPod. Here is the fix I used (a hybrid of several sets of instructions from various sources, including Symantec). I don't know if every step is crucial, I just know it worked.
    1) Uninstall Norton Antivirus 2008
    2) Use the registry editor (Run: regedit) to locate and delete every line beginning with the string $%&'( BE CAREFUL-don't delete or change anything else !
    3) Reinstall Norton Antivirus 2008 and update it using Live Update
    4) Uninstall iTunes
    5) Download and install latest version of iTunes from Apple
    6) Connect iPod (iTunes recognized it at this point)
    7) Use iTunes to update iPod software
    I read a lot of posts from a lot of frustrated people experiencing this or similar problems. I hope this helps at least some of them.

    Hey everyone... been watching these threads closely because, I too have this issue.
    One question though... what if you don't use Norton??? I can't possibly believe that everyone with this issue uses Norton... I use AVG. When I search my registry, I get no results.
    Does anyone have any input? Everything I read mentions Norton. This problem seems to have gone on forever, I can't believe it hasn't been solved eith by Apple, Microsoft or both.

    Hi, thanks for the advice. I wouldn't have liked to reinstall straight away.. The preferences deletion didn't help, but now it seems that reinstalling did it, so I'm well off into adjusting some pics again! :) It seems the 1.3.1 has had quite many problems? Hopefully they don't last too long..

  • IPodService.exe crashes after installing MS Windows XP SP3

    Installed Windows XP SP3 the other day, now iPodService.exe crashes every time when starting. Does anyone have a workaround or fix? I have not found any other info about this problem...I tried the repair reinstallation, but that didn't help. Error signature is:
    szAppName : iPodService.exe szAppVer : 7.6.2.9
    szModName : iPodService.exe szModVer : 7.6.2.9 offset : 00027259
    Muchas Gracias for any assistance...

    I also uninstalled SP3, but the damage was already in the registry, so the uninstall did not help.
    I am using NIS2008, so I uninstalled that (making sure I had distribution info to allow re-install later.
    I reinstalled SP3.
    then, using regedit (start->run->regedit) edit->find and type in "$%&" which is string all corrupt keys start with (thanks to other posters). you will find them in groups. I selected the key at the top of the group of corrupt values (usually some "update" key) and deleted the entire corrupt group (right click->delete and confirm). Be careful to only delete the corrupt groups of keys!!
    in my case, I found at least half a dozen, or so, such groups. I deleted each one until the find could locate no more.
    I closed regedit and rebooted.
    I reinstalled NIS2008.
    I had also deleted itunes and apple update, so I reinstalled those.
    I have seen no further problems.
    hope this helps.

  • CS4 Output module crashes with Snow Leopard

    I have had many problems with Snow Leopard in my Mac Pro (1,1), which all seem to have been resolved by erase installing, with one exception.
    The one exception is trying to make contact sheets with the Bridge output module.
    It is particularly prone to spinning beachball then crash while entering settings, eg header footer etc.
    It doesn't crash every time, but often enough to be a real trial.
    The behaviour has been the same between my initial SL upgrade of my "dirty" Leopard, and a cleaner-than-clean fresh erase/install of SL and CS4 only, with all the usual troubleshooting in between.
    Is anyone else getting this problem?
    I would also really like to hear from anyone who is successfully using CS4 output module with Snow Leopard.
    Thanks

    I have a RIP on a PC creating 1-bit TIFF files. They open just fine in Photoshop or other 3rd party programs. However when I try and open them in preview they immediately crash the program. Now I have also noticed that when I select the item and try to get info (to change the default program to open with) the FINDER crashes too!
    Getting info on a file can actually crash the Finder? C'mon Apple gimme a break here... a 1-bit TIFF should be no problem.

  • Statechart module: crashes when I want to save state

    I am using the LV Statechart Module (version 8.6.0). LabVIEW crashes when I want to save a state (by clicking "OK" on the state dialog). The crash does only occur if I have some member VIs of a quite large class hierarchy in the state. It does not occur if I for example just wire through the simple error cluster that is part of my state data cluster.
    Does anyone have an idea how I could avoid this problem?
    The LabVIEW failure log file is attached.
    Thanks in advance for any hint.

    Looking at this quickly, I do not know the core root cause, but I am guessing that you could work around it by putting your guard or action code into a subVI and using that subVI instead of placing the code directly in the guard/action. Something appears to be going wrong as we try to commit the guard/action VI you created for the state - I am guessing there is a bug in this process as it encounters some of the class stuff you are using, and using a subVI to wrap it will avoid this.
    Any chance you can provide the files needed to reproduce this (either here or privately if you prefer). The stack tells me a little bit but we'll have a much better chance of resolving this fully in a future release if we can reproduce it here.
    Thanks,

  • Lightroom 3.3 print module crashing

    I have tried trouble shooting this problem, but can't find a fix.
    I am running Lightroom 3.3 on an iMac and it has been running fine.  But  a couple if issues have started lately.  The most troubling is that when I attempt to print using the print module, the processing begins and then Lightroom shuts down.
    I have done both a restart and cold boot of the computer.  I have downloaded a fresh copy of Lightroom 3.3, deleted the old copy and reinstalled the program.  None of those routiner solutions worked.  I thought perhaps the catalog had suddenly become corrupt, so I did a backup with integrity check and it did not show a problem.  I also tried opening a different catalog and the previous backup of the current catalog, the problem continues to happen.  I generally print with Lightroom managing the printer with a professionally written custom profile.  This was all working fine the day before yesterday.  So I tried changing the profile and using the generic Canon profile, just in case the profile had been corrupted.  I also tried printing with the printer managing the printing.  This worked once but crashed when I tried it again.
    The crash report says this is an "Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV), Exception Codes: 0x000000000000000d, 0x0000000000000000

    I would appreciate any help or suggestions as to how to fix this.
    BTW, another problem I've had recently involves going from Lightroom to Photoshop.  When in develop mode, when I right click to open an image in Photoshop CS5, instead of opening the image Photoshop brings up a dialogue box that is looking for an image already on my hard drive that I would want to open.  My workaround has been that if I go to the "Photo" menu dropdown "edit with" and select it, then Photoshop will open the image.  I am guessing that these problems are not connected, but I mention it just incase it sheds light on whan the problem might be.
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm sure you've worked this out by now. But I just ran into the same problem and the only thing that resolved the issue was removing all printers from my system preferences and readding them.
