ITunes Diagnostic - IPOD status failed

My iTunes is no longer recognising my Ipod (60Gb photo), with the Diagnostic check showing that the Ipod Connection status failed. I have tried EVERY hint, tip, advise and rumour to get my Ipod working again, but it is still a $500 paper weight.
My Ipod is not recognised on iTunes.
My Ipod does show up on Windows as drive e:, but I can't access it. When I click on the Ipod icon, it comes up with an i/o error.
Any advise please before I thrown this thing into the bin.
Thanks,
Ipod 60GB   Windows XP  

"Press and hold the Menu and Play/Pause button for about 10 seconds."
This is not how you force disk mode.
First, hold the MENU and SELECT (Center) buttons until you see the Apple logo to reset the iPod. Then, while the apple logo is displayed, hold the Play/Pause and SELECT buttons.
This should enter the iPod into disk mode.
I'm not sure where you're going with this Disk Mode recommendation, but I guess I would recommend trying to restore it from this stage.

  • Itunes 8 - ipod Service failed to start

    Hello,
    Got the ipod service failed to start message appear when I upgraded to 8, managed somehow to get it working, this morning when I was prompted to upgrade to 8.01 it came up again and will not load so I have no itunes.
    Help anyone? Thanks

    I hate to piggy back post but this still isn't answered and I have the same problem.
    I try to connect my iPod to my desktop and the comp reads it as a disk but every time in iTunes it comes up with the iPod Service Module failed to start (or something). On my laptop it reads it just fine and as much as I could us my laptop instead of my desktop, I don't want to. Any help anyone?
    Oh. I have also un-installed and re-installed multiple times, and I don't have any third party software on my iPod. Any help would be much appreciated.

  • IPod shuffle will not sync with iTunes 7.3; "iPod sync failed"

    My shuffle is acting weird lately. For example, when I plug in the iPod and try to add songs and/or sync the device, iTunes says, "iPod sync failed. Disconnect and reconnect, then try again." It's really annoying because I can't add any songs to it or change any settings. Please help me! I have tried almost everything to save my shuffle and have restored it about 6 times!

    Have you tried a Disk Repair in the Disk Utility?
    Also, you could have a damaged iPodDriver.kext file.
    You can replace it by doing an archive and install or
    use a 3rd party extractor and get it from your
    Install disk. Or copy it from a friends Mac.
    I have tried the Disk Repair in Disk Utility and it says my iPod shuffle is perfectly normal. I then decided to erase it with Disk Utility using Mac OS Extended (Journaled) but it didn't work, either. I am beginning to think this is a software problem with my computer...
    I will try to replace the iPodDriver.kext file, but unfortunately, I lost the Tiger install disc. Can I use the install disc that came with my eMac (Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar, I think)? Please let me know soon, and thanks for helping!
    P.S. If I can't install it from my eMac install disc, I think I will copy the iPodDriver.kext file from a computer at my library or somewhere else. I can also borrow a friend's Tiger disc and use Pacifist, a great program for extracting .pkg files, to get a fresh iPodDriver.kext file.

    Hey there!
    I added a picture to the iPod and now I do see it on "My Computer" so cheers for that, and thanks for the explanation on why it wouldn't show with iTunes installed. Really appreciate that
    However, I do still get that odd error message, and while it does not affect me directly, would be good to know why it is doing that!

  • IPod classic fails to sync some tracks from iTunes

    I use an iPod Classic 160 GB with iTunes. Both are fully up to date. Every time I sync with iTunes roughly 500 of 5000 odd tracks fail to sync. This number fluctuates, but stays around the 500 mark. iTunes does not recognise this problem - it claims to have synced completely. It is only when I go through certain Albums I notice that some tracks are missing. It tends to affect the same artists, but different songs are missing within any given Album each time. (ie: a song may appear on the iPod one try, then be gone the next.)
    All my tracks are either AAC audio file or MPEG audio file. The problem seems to affect them irrespective of kind.
    There is plenty of space on the iPod, with over 100 GB free.
    I have tried Retry, Reset, Restart, Reinstall, Restore - all multiple times, with no result. I have tried syncing auto and manually, and wiping both iTunes and iPod every way I can think of. Still, when I sync, the problem remains.
    This problem is driving me crazy, especially since I can find no cause, and no applicable advice on forums. I have searched Help forums for answers, but everything that comes up either doesn't match or I have already tried with no result.
    Please help.
    If I need to give more detail for an accurate diagnosis please let me know.
    I will be eternally greatful to anyone who can help.
    Thank you, Jonny.

    I'm also having the same issue.  I have recently had to get rid of my old PC that my ipod was synced to and so have now had to sync my ipod to my new laptop.  The problem started as soon as I did this - at first it was saying that my laptop wasn't authorised in the itunes store, but it is and I have reconfirmed this.  All of my music was copied across from old computer but there are around 2000 songs not syncing.  If anyone can help it would be hugely appreciated, it's driving me mad! One other thing is that I went to download all of my previous itunes purchases to this laptop but only 3 of them actually downloaded - I had separately copied them across from my old computer anyway but wanted to keep the list of my purchases - when I go into my account it thinks I have downloaded everything so won't let me do it again.  I'm assuming both problems relate in some way to the new machine, but I don't know why.

  • When I download itunes, it says that Ipod Service failed to start. I checked the services under task manager and when I try to start it, it says access denied. How to I get access and for the ipod service to start and run?

    Please help. My ipod classic could not be recognised by itunes when I connect my ipod to PC. Previously it has been recognised before I updated. This was a while ago now and so I removed all apple files and re installed the latest itunes but am having the same problem.
    When I download itunes, it says that Ipod Service failed to start. I checked the services under task manager and when I try to start it, it says access denied. How to I get access and for the ipod service to start and run?

    Some anti-virus programs (e.g., McAfee) have this rule that can be invoked under the "maximum protection" settings: PREVENT PROGRAMS REGISTERING AS A SERVICE. If that rule is set to BLOCK, then any attempt to install or upgrade iTunes will fail with an "iPod service failed to start" message.
    If you are getting this problem with iTunes, check to see if your anti-virus has this setting and unset it, at least for as long as the iTunes install requires. Exactly how to find the rule and turn it on and off will vary, depending upon your anti-malware software. However, if your anti-virus or anti-malware software produces a log of its activities, examining the log may help you find the problem.
    For example, here's the log entry for McAfee:
    9/23/2009 3:18:45 PM Blocked by Access Protection rule NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\iPod Service Common Maximum Protection:Prevent programs registering as a service Action blocked : Create
    Note that the log says "Common Maximum Protection: Prevent programs registering as a service". The "Common Maximum Protection" is the location of the rule, "Prevent programs registering as a service" is the rule. I used that information to track down the location in the McAfee VirusScan Console where I could turn the rule off.
    After I made the change, iTunes installed without complaint.

  • ITunes 9.0 install problem: iPod service fails to start, installer quits

    Hi,
    I tried to upgrade my iTunes from 8.XXX(I think it was latest 8) to 9.0 but run into this problem where the installer tries to start the iPod service and fails. The installer can not continue any more and it has to be rolled back. I uinstalled 8.xx and tried again but same result. I also tried the suggestion in another thread about stopping the AppleMobileDevice service and removing the folder but it did not help. This is the error message:
    "Product: iTunes -- Error 1920. Service 'iPod Service' (iPod Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
    I am logged in as the admin so I do have sufficient privileges.
    Is any one having the same problem? How do I make it work? I am using Win XP-Pro SP3 32bit.
    Thanks

    I was finally able to make it work. I did the following steps:
    1. Delete/unistall every thing related to Apple/iTunes
    2. Delete itunes folder if its still there.
    3. open MSCONFIG->General->check off 'Load Startup Items'->click 'ok'
    4. Reboot
    5. Install iTunes
    6. You can turn on Load Startup Items after iTunes installs.
    Hope this help. Thanks for all the help. It sure was annoying!!!!

  • 7.3 iTunes :service 'iPod service' (iPod service) failed to start."

    Please help me i'm desperate. Ok so, i go to update and charge my ipod and when i plug in my ipod and open ituens it says that i need to download 7.3 for some reason i didnt think much of it. basically i tried downloading it, and when it go to the very end of the download it said, "service 'iPod service' (iPod service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." ok that would help if i knew what the heck that was! so i've tried uninstalling and downloading, downloading older versions, looking for iPod service, and i've tried downloading, restarting and then trying to install but still the same exact problem. even when i hit retry the same message comes up, and now i have no itunes and i have no clue what to do, please help me i'm seriously desperate!
    -thanks

    ... i'll see your "oh dear" and raise you a "good gracious!" ...
    You are the second person in a matter of days that i've seen report identical symptoms. keiko ran into precisely the same trouble:
    I followed your directions and when i selected manage i got a message saying "Snap-in failed to initialize. Name:Shared Folders Extension CLSID:{58221C69-EA27-11CF-ADCF-00AA00A80033}". Then once i got into the screen i found the tab marked services and applications. i expanded that and and all that i found was WMI Control and Indexing Service.
    That's in the following thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4916874#4916874
    That has me worried that there might be new something going around messing with folks' snap-ins.
    We'd better try getting the malware possibility covered.
    Download fresh definitions, and run vigorous virus and spyware scans. if your security software providers offer them, try running "online scans" too. (They can sometimes pick up an infection even if the software on the PC has been compromised.)
    Do the scans pick anything up? If so, what does the security software call them? (names assigned to viruses and spyware tend to differ, depending on what security software you are using.)

  • Error during iTunes 10 installation - iPod Service failed to start

    Hi Everyone,
    I am getting this error during installation of iTunes 10(Windows XP).
    +*"Service (iPod Service)failed to start.Verify that you have sufficient priveleges to start system services."*+
    *Can any of you please help?* I ignored it first and continued with the installation. Then tried to update iphone to iOS 4.1 which crashed. I had to go to Apple store to get my iphone restored. I am having trouble installing itunes and cannot restore data from backup.
    I tried uninstalling itunes and deleted all itunes data as suggested by the guy at the Apple store. Still not working. Will appreciate if someone can help resolve this error. Thanks.

    I just got off the phone with Apple tech support. The problem with that iPod Service is a problem with XP Service Pack 3, but can be fixed this way:
    1. Right click on "My Computer", select "Properties"
    2. Click on the Advanced tab.
    3. in the Startup and Recovery section, click the Settings button.
    4. Click the Edit byutton to edit your boot.ini file in notepad.
    5. Look for "/noexecute=" in the file and change the word after the equals to "optin" (sorry - I don't remember what the original setting was anymore).
    6. Save the file, close notepad, click the OK button on Startup and Recovery window, then reboot.
    The warning message about the iPod Service should stop. Also, this helps with iPhones that are not recognized by Windows or iTunes after an install fails.

  • "iPod Service Failed to Start" message when upgrading iTunes

    When upgrading iTunes from Version 7 to the newest version, I got an error message stating "Service, 'iPod Service' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient priviledges to start system services." So I canceled the download and rolled back to Version 7 again. I did notice that now I'm getting an error message when I start up Version 7, stating that it could not start the iPod service. I just bought an ipod Classic and cannot use it without the latest version of iTunes. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

  • Have people returned ipods after failing to install itunes?

    I have exhausted all the information on here to try and install itunes after receiving errors 1305 & 1603. Just wanted to know if people have returned their ipods after failing to install itunes?
    I think it is very poor that you are unable to contact apple and speak to someone if you are having these problems.
    I am very disappointed by my first experience of owing an ipod.
    Louis

    Error 1305 is usualy something to do with the CD drive or the media.
    Are you trying to install from the CD?
    You can download iTunes here -> http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605.html
    Error 1603 is usually a disk space problem. See here -> http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q111019
    How much free space is on your C: drive?
    Start -> My computer.
