Please Help. Cannot Install Itunes 8.0.1..."Ipod Service" Error.

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

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.

Does it go through properly now?

These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

I cannot install iTunes. I get a Windows Error 126 and missing msvcr80.dll. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing based on all the suggestions, but still have an issue. I've removed all the services, tried moving the dll files as suggested, but I still have no success. Spent all day on this issue. I am running windows 7.

Sorry to hear this isn't going smoothly for you. Try Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. You may have seen some of the suggestions here before but is has taken some users more than one attempt.

Cannot Load iTunes 10.0 Because "iPod service could not be installed".

When I tried to upgrade to iTunes 10.0 I received an error message and was told to uninstall and reinstall iTunes. When I tried to install 10.0 . I got the following error message "Service 'iPod Service' (iPod Service) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system services." It then won't let me proceed with the installation. What can I do to install the new version of iTunes?

I have a similar problem when trying to upgrade to iTunes 10. The iPod Services exists but won't start - either automatically or manually. Have uninstalled, deleted, reinstalled following lots of different suggested paths but nothing has resolved it so far. Can no longer synch with iPod or synch photos/video/music with iPad

HELP cannot install itunes, uninstall itunes or uninstall quicktime

Hello - Went to upgrade my orig ver of itunes ver 6.0 to the video version to grab some music videos, and that is when all went to ****.
Got an error message that itunes was unable to install to my PC. PC is p4 running winXP sp2/3.
Error code: -3
Went to uninstall itunes, and got another error message that itunes was unable to complete the task with NO error code.
Also went to uninstall quicktime, and apparently the uninstall is not on my computer. I reinstalled quicktime, which was successful, but after rebooting and then trying to uninstall quicktime again, i got same error message quicktime uninstall cannot be found, quicktime cannot be uninstalled.
I did manage to get itunes successfully uninstalled.
After reboot and clearing out temp files and cache then again rebooting, then attempting to reinstall itunes VER 6.0 just the plain version for windows, NOT the video version, i again got error message that itunes was unable to install on my PC.
PLEASE HELP.
i cannot seem to load in a successful ver of itunes to listen to music, nor uninstall/install quicktime.
FYI -
Quicktime will not work when opened through itunes and through start menu, but will work when opened in the program and actually clicking on the .exe button.
pls help! i just want regular ver of itunes without video now, just want to listen to music what i bought, thnx

YES it is a Windows 98 based software, since i was unable to find older ver of Quicktime, i used what i had.
Incidentally, i figured out that when i went to install the Video ver of itunes, the ver 6.0 did not completely uninstall, some files were somehow corrupted.
There is a round about fix located on the windows tech support section which deleted previous Windows installer programs that in turn deletes older versions of programs, you pick from a list that the program detects, and it will delete all older versions.
Here is the link, if you know anyone that needs it..
it fixed my PC, after using this program i was able to successfully install 1st- the standalone version of quicktime, then itunes without incident.

Please help cannot open itunes

I just got this computer a few days ago. I have been spending my evenings getting everything set up and transferred from the desktop me and my sister used to share. So tonight I was getting my iTunes installed. After I installed iTunes, I imported the playlist, and then I updated to version 8.1. I believe the version from the external drive was 7.something. after I had it all set up I tried to play a song to see that all went well. when I tried to play a song it said I need to validate the computer, but my sisters e-mail came up. I figured it was because she got her ipod first and this file came from the old computer. I tried validating with my e-mail and it wouldn't work. I still thought it was the actual iTunes program giving me the problem so I decided to delete it and download it from online instead of the external drive. After I deleted it I realized that the problem was with the songs, since she bought them. I decided to re-install the itunes I had installed previously. I couldn't find it in the recycle bin so I re-installed the one on the external. when I did I got this error message "The file "i Tunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." and the program would not open. so I deleted it again and downloaded the new one from online. That one said it needed to be opened with an application, and I don't know what that means. So I tried a system restore and it said my system restore failed. Now i cannot get any iTunes installed and working on my computer. I tried looking for the file and couldn't find it. I was gonna delete the iTunes folder manually through "my computer" but then it said it might make some things not work right and I got scared. Please help me fix this.

i ended up doing a complete system recovery and got the old itunes off, but i still have the problem of getting "this file needs to be opened with an application" after i download itunes 8.1 setup

Perhaps we can car pool to Cali and find someone that works there that actually knows how to install their program since they clearly have no interest in making it easily accessible to a majority of users. (I too have not been able to install itunes 10.5)

Please help cant install iTunes 7.7

i was using the previous version and just started off an update when prompted for iTunes 7.7, but the update then failed (sadly it didnt really give any info about the failure). I have tried downlaoding and installing manualy but still no joy the installation just fails and says i need to reinstall iTunes.
However....i cant uninstall it :o I have tried uninstalling through add>remove programs but it just gets so far then seems to roll back and iTunes is still there.
I tried doing a repair with the itunes 64 setup but that didnt seem to work either.
I have since uninstalled quick time and tried to uninstall iTunes but still stuck in the same situation of it refusing to uninstall.
Please help guys 'ANY' thoughts apreciated
cheers

However....i cant uninstall it :o I have tried uninstalling through add>remove programs but it just gets so far then seems to roll back and iTunes is still there.
Okay. Let's try uninstalling the existing version by other means.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any iTunes entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
Next, we'll manually remove any leftover iTunes program files:
(1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
(2) Open the Program Files folder.
(3) Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
Now restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through properly this time?

Please help - cannot complete itunes 6 installation

Here's my deal:
I have Windows 2000, service pack 4 on an IBM T22, with plenty of hard disk space left and I have had the older version of iTunes (5 i guess) on my computer since I upgraded about a year ago (got iTunes a little over a year ago with my mini iPod). I had trouble then, but somehow got it to work, until now, when I was prompted to upgrade (could not download music otherwise), so I tried to do that, but it failed. One of two things happens: either I get a message that says 1628: Failure to complete installation, OR it just stops installing and I get a box in the minimize bar at the bottom of my desktop that appears to be a dialogue box for QuickTime and iTunes, but that, when clicked on, does not appear (maximize) on my screen. I have now uninstalled QuickTime, iTunes, and my setup.exe, and have tried reinstalling, but the same two things keep happening. I fear that I have lost the ability to install, since the setup.exe is now gone from my desktop. Also, I already tried the suggestions about the 1628 error provided by apple (clearing temp files etc.) and nothing seems to help.
Please help me! I don't have a clue about what to do and am very very frustrated.

hi Kelsey!
It seems to hiccup right in the middle of the box that says "preparing InstallShield Wizard, which will guide you through the setup process / preparing to install" portion...and then it just stops.
gaah. okay, first check to make sure your Windows Installer engine is up to date:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
then let's try this again
b with all background applications switched off:
http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q108379
antivirus, antispyware, Cygwin and various other applications have been implicated with these hangs ... so i reckon it's safest to try to switch all of 'em off prior to the install.
keep us posted.
love, b

PLEASE HELP: Cannot Install Driver For SB Live CT4

Hi, guys. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
My computer's pretty old. It's a Dell Dimension 8200 that I bought in 200.
I recently did a fresh install of Windows XP, because I like to do so every half year or so to keep my computer running smoothly. This time, however, for some reason it's been giving me issues with detecting the sound card and whatnot.
I opened up the motherboard and it says the product model is the Creative Sound Blaster Li've! CT4780. I went to both the Dell and Creative support pages to download/install the appropriate drivers, but every time I do so I am incessantly barraged with the following message:
"Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audio Card on your system. Please ensure that your Sound Blaster hardware is properly installed before running this setup program. Setup will now exit."
I have no idea WHY it's not detecting it, so I opened up the motherboard again and made sure the sound card looked to be securely in place. Still, I get the same message.
Also: when I go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Device Manager, I don't see my sound card listed there. I DO, however, see a category for "Other Devices" (with a question mark beside it) that lists "Multimedia Controller" and "Multimedia Video Controller."
Could "Multimedia Controller" be my sound card?
I don't know if I'm making any sense here. Please, please help!

Are you trying to use the disc or did you download the most current set of drivers from the HP website?
Here is the most recent version of the full feature drivers for your printer and OS:

Cannot install itunes on Windows 7 Windows Service Installer could not be accessed

I am having trouble installing itunes on Windows 7. I keep getting a message that says that Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This is driving me crazy. Any help would be appreciated.

I managed to get iTunes downloaded, but now it won't install because it says a newer version of Quicktime is installed, and iTunes cannot proceed until that is uninstalled.
We're still making progress. That's damaged QuickTime installation configuration information (which also seems to be associated with some-though-not-all reports of your initial error).
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Pls help me install itunes 6.0....errors, errors ;o(

Can't install iTunes 9 on Vista. iPod services have stopped?

I can't installed iTunes 9 on my Windows Vista PC. When I try to install, the installation process gets to about 95% complete, then an error pops up saying "Serice 'iPod Sevice' (iPod Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start the service". I also get a Windows System error that says "iPod service module (64-bit) stopped working and was closed". I can't install iTunes 9 and can't find any answers. And yes, I'm installing iTunes as the system Admin. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

My problem is with Vista, but slightly different to the above.
I bought a new Vista PC yesterday and was able to download iTunes 8 to it.
I'm also still using my old XP PC until I get the Vista one properly set up. Last night I ran all iTunes/iPhone/iPod Touch updates successfully on the XP machine.
Today I am updating the Vista PC. Safari and Quick Time have downloaded.
iTunes itself reaches 98.7 of 98.8 verified and then fails.
The error message I am getting is ""The windows installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running in safe mode, or if the windows installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance"
I have no idea what that means, does any Vista user know what the Windows Installer Service is and how I sort this out?
There is a pop appearing occasionally about setting up 'winlock' - I have no idea what that is (need to google to find out) so have ignored that until I understand what it is.
I've tried both running direct from the download and saving to my PC but still the same error message. Odd that the program installed yesterday but the updated version will not do so today.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
