New 5. version and Ipod Service Error

I downloaded the newest version of itunes and updater 9-23-05, and now my ipod won't sync with my windows xp itunes. I have reinstalled both itunes and ipod updater, I have deleted everything in the temp file, I have disabled all programs, and I have tried to restort (I get a service error when I try to restore). Apple support tells me my ipod is not under warranty. What they needed to tell me is that their crap software wasn't under warranty and doesn't work.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem? Is it possible to go back to a working version of the software if I can't restore?

Hello Grant,

  • I have an Ipod Classic, one day he appears without music, now that i want to sync with my itunes an error occur. I download all the new itunes version and ipod software but again error. How do I make it work?

    My ipod classic, have these problem:
    One day I find out that all the music was completely gone, I always charged the ipod on Ihome.
    So, I connect the ipod to my computer to sync the music, but mi computer recognize the ipod as a memory device. so delete itunes from my computer, following some support guides that i found in the mac support web. Again, it didnt work. The itunes doesnt detect it.
    then I try to sync on a macbook, then it told it was corrupted i should restore th ipod, i try it but this could not be done... cause an error occur.
    How I can restore my ipod...

    Does both your Windows and Macbook iTunes have the same library of songs?
    if it  does then, much easier to proceed, else try to load the Macbook with the same library as Windows.
    Note that only one of the Macbook USB port is good for iPod Classic, the other is too slow and may cause timeout, and I would suggest disconnect all other USB devices, while you Restore or Sync the iPod Classic.
    Connect the iPod to the Mac, (if iTunes launch, please close it back.)
    Use Disk Utility -> select the iPod Device->First Aid->Repair (use option FAT32)
    After the Repair complete, eject the iPod.
    Connect back to the Mac
    When iTunes launch, Restore the iPod when Prompted, (use FAT32)
    Sync your library.
    Good Luck!

  • Updater "ipod service error" and itunes "reinstall itunes"

    I got my ipod exchanged just recently from a regular 20gb iPod to a color/photo ipod. I downloaded the newest iPod updater and the newest iTunes. I go into the updater program and a message comes up saying "iPod Service error". When i plugged in my unit to my computer, iTunes shows a message "the software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod software.
    Here's the problem. I went to Apple's online help and went through all the possible solutions it had (reinstall iTunes, Disable conflicting system services and startup items, disable conflicting system services and startup items and reinstall, resintall the COM interface for the iPod service) and none of them worked.
    What do i do? because I've spent the whole week trying to figure out what's going on. I've repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled both the updater and iTunes. Anyone have any answer to this?

    It might be a total pain, but you might do best if you call Apple Support if you can... Hopefully you didn't get a bad 'Pod.

    Hello CHENSLER68,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with installing the latest iTunes update.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    When you get to the step to uninstall iTunes, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step.

  • IPod Service Error with iPod installer 2006-06-28

    I previously had a Mini but lost it (stolen). I bought a Nano to replace it but could never get it to work. I returned this and purchased a new 30g iPod. Same issues. I get the error message "iPod Service Error" when I open the 2006-06-28 iPod Software Updater. I even get this message whether I have my iPod connected or not. In iTunes, I get the message "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software."
    Well, I've reinstalled iTunes countless times and reinstalled the updater a equal number of times with no luck. I tried all the steps (including links) in:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
    I also used msconfig with no luck. I disabled my Norton internet security and antivirus software with no success. I disabled the Fast User Switching and followed someone's advice regarding FAT32, but again no luck.
    I tried to read through all the latest discussions and articles I could find, but am now getting confused. Is there anyone out there who has been able to tackle this problem? My alternative is returning my iPod and giving up on iTunes. Help me please!! Thanks.

    Thanks for your response and sorry for the delay. I've been traveling. Yes, I did try making another XP user account and got the same results. I have not tried the installer cleanup. What do I do with this utility? I read the instructions from MS, but not sure if I should just highlight the iTunes, iPod, and QuickTime stuff on my PC. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • IPod Service Error (I posted on the wrong board last time)

    Okay, I see a lot of people are having similar problems but mine seems to be very hard to fix and I'm very very frustrated. I've had my iPod mini since late March, so it's not that old.
    First, I cannot update my iPod with new songs. It says there is no iPod connected. It only charges when I plug it in directly or on the dock. Second, I have iTunes 5.0, just so you know. Third, I cannot update my iPod software. When I try to use the latest iPod updater (and even my old one), the screen freezes, and then says "iPod Service Error". Can anybody help me? I've tried everything and am really upset. Thank you!

    hiya!
    I won't get a chance to try it until I get home tonight.
    okay, i'd better give you some more references now then.
    if you run into problems with the registry keys, with any luck some of the ideas in the ProgMan thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2143821#2143821
    ... or the hutch thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2261175#2261175
    might be of some help with that.

  • Ipod Service error, Wont go away

    ive tried everything.
    I did every step on that document that tells you how to fix it, i restarted, turned off all system services (other than MS ones), but nothing will work, i keep getting ipod service error.
    I've removed/reinstalled itunes/ipod about 20 times, did a system restore, but nothing.
    When I plug ipod in it says do not disconnect and that wont change either. I'm really stuck
    Is there anything else i could try???
    I just dont understand.
    Thanks

    nope, still no luck, i turned off the service, restarted, same thing.
    What could possibly be wrong, it worked before!!
    all i did was upgrade to the new itunes, downloaded the new updater and now nothing will run right

    Unauthorized modification of iOS can cause security vulnerabilities, instability, shortened battery life, and other issues
    Security vulnerabilities: Jailbreaking your device eliminates security layers designed to protect your personal information and your iOS device. With this security removed from your iOS device, hackers may steal your personal information, damage your device, attack your network, or introduce malware, spyware or viruses.
    Inability to apply future software updates: Some unauthorized modifications have caused damage to iOS that is not repairable. This can result in the hacked iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iOS update is installed.

    Can someone please help. I cannot update to Itunes 8.0.1. Ever since I first tried it has given me the "iPod Service" Error. Now it won't let me update my iPhone either. I have tried rebooting my PC and still no luck. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

    Below are the instructions to clean up iTunes installer from the apple website. It worked great for me at first. Now all the songs have ! next to them. Ugh. Any ideas?
    Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer
    You can download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility from Microsoft, which will clean up any leftover installer files that may be causing issues with your current installation. To do this:
    Click here first, and read the important information about the software.
    Click the "Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility package now" link on that page to download a file titled msicuu2.exe.
    Open the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install it.
    On the Start menu, point to All Programs and then click Windows Install Cleanup; the Windows Installer Clean Up Utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    Select iTunes from the list and click Remove.
    Click OK in the confirmation dialog that appears.
    Repeat steps 5 and 6 if you have multiple iTunes entries listed.
    Select QuickTime from the list and click Remove.
    Click OK in the confirmation dialog that appears.
    Repeat steps 8 and 9 if you have multiple QuickTime entries listed.
    Click Exit.
    Restart the computer.
    Install the latest version of iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download.

  • I get that stupid ipod service error

    you no that stupid ipod service error that you get when itunes is messed up and your ipod dosent update your songs well I got that

    The following is taken from a thread a few lines down. This technique worked for me.
    It was originally posted by Phrehnck:
    The recent iTunes update seems to have left many users iTunes installation from correctly detecting and synchronizing with their iPods. This problem seems to occur when the iPodService files are not updated when iTunes is updated to version 5.
    Steps to resolve the problem:
    1) Click "Start" | "Run..." | type in "net stop ipodservice"
    | click "OK"
    2) Delete the folder "C:\Program Files\iPod\bin"
    3) Run the iTunesSetup.exe installer. It will probably prompt you to either "Repair" or "Remove" iTunes. Choose "Repair" and click on next or finish.
    Optional Step 4) Click "Start" | "Run..." | type in "C:\progra~1\iPod\bin\ipodservice.exe /service"
    | click "OK"
    Optional Step 5) Restart Computer
    If these steps do no resolve the problem, please dont flame me=X
    This is not a problem with Windows XP but with the iTunes installer=)

  • Won't show up on itunes or on ipod updater("ipod service error")

    Every time i plug my ipod (4g w/ click wheel) it says on itunes software not installed correctly, it shows up as a drive but i can't see it on itunes, i have tried to reinstall itunes more than 5 times and nothing works. Also, when I try to restore my ipod with ipod updater i get an "ipod service error". I am going crazy here trying to figure this out, someone please help me!

    Try this for can't mount iPod:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
    You might also want to try putting your iPod in disk mode:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    Sometimes this does the trick (iPod normally needs to be in disk mode in order for it to show up in Disk Management)
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499
    If you're still unable to get your iPod to restore, you can try this:
    Put the iPod into disk mode, according to the article above.
    Connect it to your computer.
    Click Start > Run
    Type compmgmt.msc
    Click on Disk Management (in the left-hand column)
    Let the computer go through its connection process
    Right click on the iPod and click Format
    Set the format to FAT32
    Leave all the other settings on their defaults
    Do Not select the option to Quickformat
    Start the format.
    It's recommended that you still try to restore the iPod after formatting, but it's not always necessary. This should get your iPod back into iTunes.

  • Updater ipod service error

    we needed an update for our ipod video because it has an a folder with an exclamation mark. we followed the steps below that were found on www.apple.com/support
    Install the latest iPod Software.
    After your download is finished, install the iPod Updater. Just launch the assistant and follow the on-screen instructions.
    Run the iPod Software
    Run the iPod Updater application
    Connect your iPod to your computer and launch the iPod Updater. The iPod Updater will automatically determine if an update is required.
    Once we plugged in the ipod and launched the updater it did not give us the option to restore the ipod it just said "ipod service error" and the only option was to click ok and still nothing is fixed, what do we do now?

  • "iPod Service Error" plus other issues

    Hi, I hope someone can help me.
    My iPod is severely malfunctioning. Sometimes, when I turn it on, the screen pops up with a folder and exclamation point. Sometimes it pops up saying "Connect to iTunes to restore". And sometimes it works fine.
    I am trying to connect it to iTunes to restore it, and I just installed the newest iTunes but iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod. Windows might or might not recognize the iPod. It recognizes something, but instead of naming that something as the name of my iPod as it usually does, the computer calls it "Removable Disk G". And when I try to update the iPod or restore it with the iPod Updater, a "iPod Service Error" pops up.
    I have also noticed that instead of a color "Do not Disconnect" flashing sign on my connected iPod, I have a black-and-white and small Do Not Disconnect sign.
    What do I do? Help! Thanks

  • I want to de-install mac-excel test version and get the error message: you have not the privileges to de-install. Please login with the Mac-OS account you have installed mac-excel originally'. I don't know this account anymore. I am sysadm

    I want to de-install mac-excel test version and get the error message: 'You have not the privileges to de-install. Please login with the Mac-OS account you have installed mac-excel originally'. I don't know this account anymore. Possibly it does not exist anymore. anybody out there who can help ?

    Hi, I may suggest to activate the root account and try the uninstall process from that account. To do so, you have to:
    Go to System Preferences a open up the Users pane;
    On the left side of the pane, you shuold see Login Options;
    Enabled editing option clicking on the lock (it will ask your password);
    Once the pane is enabled, you should see something like Server Account Network (sorry my OS is in italian, so I don't exactly know the right translation), and right next to it a button;
    Click on that button, and a new pane shows up. Click on Open Directory Utility, and on the upper bar of OS X click on Edit;
    Select Enable Root Account (you can set a password, or not);
    Done that, you should log out and when the login window show up, type on the user field "root" and the password you choose;
    Theorically, from this account you will be able to unistall the application.
    After completing your task, I reccomend you to disable the root account, just by loggin in your personal account and repeating the steps I described before. Hope it helps
