Ipodservice

im having trouble downloading the itunes onto my computer. I get to downloading it then an error message pops up saying Service 'iPod Service" (iPodService) could not be stopped. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to stop system services.
What does this mean and how can I carry on downloading iTunes.

  • Ipodservice, ituneshelper and memory???

    Hi all,
    I'm using Itunes to organize and listen my music, when I run it 2 services are automatically started: ipodservice and ituneshelper. I don't use ipod and then I don't need to use that service. There is a way to stop it? Just stop in services control? And ituneshelper, what it needs? They use a lot of memory: itunes 47M ipod 3,5M and helper 5M ... there is a way to save it?
    Thanks a lot and kind regards,
    Stefano

  • ITunes 6.0.1: "Found New Hardware: iPodService"

    I posted this yesterday in the "Upgrading, etc." forum, but have not received any responses or help; I thought it might be more visible in this forum. Since I posted, I did find a few posts that I thought would help, and I tried the suggestions, with no success. The problem still occurs:
    I downloaded and installed iTunes 6.0.1, and despite my fears -- after reading other posts -- that I would have problems with the new iTunes, so far it has worked fine, even though I did install it over the old version.
    But after I installed it, I shut down my computer and went back to it later; and when I started it up again, I got a message in the taskbar: "Found New Hardware: iPodService". (I'm using Windows XP.) Then it went to Install New Hardware. [I get the error EVERY TIME I boot up.]
    It asks me if I want to install from a disk, but of course since I downloaded the program, I don't have a disk. I tried using the CD-ROM I got with my iPod, but it couldn't find what it needed there. And not only that, I didn't install any new hardware, only software!
    I have searched the Apple Discussions for help, with no results; it seems like nobody else has had this problem.
    What do I do to fix this, ignore it, or keep it from happening again? I did search a little online, and I found out that the iPodservice.exe program isn't essential, so I could simply go to Task Manager and end the process, but I want to be sure about it first.
    Any help with this is appreciated.

    DEZ3124,
    I want to change the default location of the music libary, so I went through the edit | preferences | consolidate library processes...which seemed to work fine.
    This method will change the location of the iTunes Music folder but the the iTunes folder itself will be left behind in its original place: C:\Documents and Settings\user name\My Documents\My Music. This makes iTunes (and by extension will also make you) much happier and in this case you'll be well-advised to let it have its way.
    Note that all the actual music files you now have, as well as those you will add in the future(which take up the bulk of the space on your hard drive), will be in the new location. The iTunes folder will be left behind with the iTunes Library files which don't take up much space at all ... if that's a concern.

  • Ipod classic not recognized in itunes because of ipodservice.exe

    My ipod classic (80gb) is frequently not recognized in itunes 11 running on Windows 8 unless I close itunes, eject the ipod using windows, stop ipodservice.exe (64 bit) using task manager, and restart itunes. Anybody know of a more permanent fix?

    That's not a good sign.
    It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

  • Itunes 10 errors during installation with ipodservice error message

    I have been trying to get itunes 10 installed for weeks. The upgrade would not work normally, so I removed itunes/quicktime/safari and decided try installing fresh.
    I still get a error during the installation process saying that ipodservice.exe cannot execute instruction at 0x7c91b21a referenced at 0x0000000010. memory could not be 'written'
    does anyone know how to fix this?

    " The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. I tried to uninstall iTunes, and it would not uninstall.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):

    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:

  • 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.

  • Error writing to file: C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.exe...Help!!!

    I recently installed the newest version of iTunes however after installing I did not restart my computer right away. Instead I just waited until the next time I was going to turn my comp off and then back on. So when I turned my comp on the next time I tried using iTunes except now it would not work. So I tried repairing it. That did not work and every time I tried an error message saying that it could not access the iPodService.exe file came up so I tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling it however whenever I tried to reinstall the same thing happened. So I went and tried to delete that file however whenever I try to delete a message saying that I either do not have access or the file is corrupt appears. I tried starting in safe mode and then deleting it, same thing. I tried turning off nay processes that might be cuased by the file, nothing. Please help, I really need to have iTunes and right now I cannot do anything. How do I delete this file or bypass it in the installation?

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • ITunes 7.0.1.8 Unable to detect iPodService

    Anyone else having issues getting their iPod to sync with iTunes under Windows Vista?
    I have:
    -Run iTunes as an administrator
    -Reinstalled iTunes
    -Restored my iPod
    -Disabled UAC
    When I run the iTunes diag it claims "iPodService 7.0.1.8 is currently not running." and "Current user is an administrator." When I check the service, windows reports it is running.
    I can open the iPod in explorer and copy files to it fine... ***...

    I have reinstalled my OS a few times in the last couple weeks screwing around with Vista x64/x86. I still had my iTunes folder in my music folder, I deleted it and let iTunes rebuild everything from scratch and now I am syncing no problem.

  • IpodService Modular has encountered a problem...

    When i connect my 60GB Ipod into my IBM Thinkpad/Windows, I get the following message- "ipodService Modular has encountered a problem and needs to close."
    I have followed all of the instructions listed under 'ipod not being recognized by itunes' and I am still getting the message. My computer does detect the ipod but Itunes does not. Help?

    let's try getting a crash log 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 itunes 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.
    - 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

    - A concise description of the issue you are seeing
    - The exact text of the error message you are seeing

  • Cannot see iPodService.exe from limited user account.

    I have a 4th-generation iPod which I am attempting to connect to a computer running Windows XP Pro. I do most of my work under a limited-permission account, running as administrator only to install new software, such as the iTunesSetup.exe installer. However, I am finding that when I connect the iPod to the computer while running as a limited account, the iPod cannot sync, presumably because it can't see the iPodService.exe. The computer does see and can access the iPod as a mass storage USB device correctly, however.
    I've done each of the first four R's repeatedly; I'm hoping that I don't have to restore the iPod to resolve this issue.
    Thanks in advance.

  • 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

    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.)

  • Service iPodservice could not be stopped!

    I get the above message when I am trying to install the latest upgrade. I am signed on as administrator. My iPod is connected to my computer (usb) Windows XP! Help me solve this problem so I can use this iPod!

    "Service 'Ipod Service' (iPodService) could not be stopped. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to stop system services."
    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.
    now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.
    does the install go through properly this time?
