"Service Error" Is there a fix?

I think if i get the ipod updater to work than maybe iTunes 5 will work with my ipod, but i cant get that thing to work. I have a ipod w/ click wheel and i realllly want to update it.
Ive tryed everything about reinstalling and stuff, but nothing has worked.
I wish apple could figure this out and come out with a new version for windows users.. arg..
thanks

I've been venting about this problem for days... 9 now, in fact. I have the same error messages too (software not communicating, and updater service error)
None of Apple's instructions help. Considering they were written beore 5.0 came out... I wasn't that optimistic.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
I was going to re-install 4.9 (which is a bit of a challenge because you have to save your music and rename it, etc)
But I think I'm going to try and sit "patiently" for the 5.0 fix to come out. When? I don't know. But I've wasted many many hours sitting here pulling my hair out.
My iTunes 5.0 is playing music off my PC, my iPod works and I can charge it elsewhere. Just can't sync/add new music with this latest 5.0/disaster. I haven't had any Windows crashes - so I don't want to risk playing around again.
That's my only advice.
This is the post to go back to 4.9

  • Effect error, Is there a fix for this?

    Hi, I have recently been having a lot of Problems with After Effects CC, but now I have come across another one, When I try to add the "Ramp" effect (AE Default) this error appears:
    I was wondering if there was a fix for this as this happens with many other Default Effects.
    Thank you in advance.

    Without knowing anything about your system, your project, your settings and whatnot nobody can even begin to guess. This error could indicate an issue with your footage or the fast previews, but then again a simple reinstall may fix it...

  • HELP! 'unexpected end of file' error-Is there a fix?! OS 10.4.11

    Getting 'Unexpected end of file' error when trying to open a file (that's a rush job) in QuarkXpress 6.5.  I attributed it to lack of memory, so I immediately backed up all files and HD to an external drive to free up space. Restarted and prayed... Quark launched, but file won't open. Same error.
    Have: 2.1 GHz PPC G5, 1.5 GB DDR2 SDRAM  OS 10.4.11 (pre Intel)
    Capacity: 232.8GB, Available: 163GB, Used 69.6GB
    Have been searching help site for 5 hours looking for answer and am DESPERATE!  I saved changes regularly, but can't access this file at all... I've lost 2 full days & nights working on this project that has to be done in 2 days.
    Ran Disk Utility, but no success opening this specific Quark file (Quark will launch- it's just this file that's affected).  Have tried to down load Applejack, etc. but keep finding out they only support OS 10.5 or higher.  (Haven't been able to afford upgraded system since Intel requires purchase of full verions of graphics software instead of upgrades to the tune of $6k).
    PLEASE, I only know enough to be dangerous, so ANY help is GREATLY APPRECIATED! 
    Savvy folks- if I'm in the wrong place, please send me a link where I can solve this personal catastrophy.
    Many thanks-in-advance

    I think you best do over your work from scratch.  You need to make backup copies of the files regularly.  You need to have copies on multiple disks or flash drives.
    I saved changes regularly
    You should know that this isn't sufficient. You need to have multiplte copies of the file.  Backup anyone?  Could be the file structure got messed up.  Could be Quark messed up the file.
    You need to get a newer machine.  G5's are not reliable any more.  Need to see if Quark will run in compatiblity mode on an intel machine.  You should at least get an external firewire drive from owc.  Old hd's are not reliable.
    Boot in safe mode. Hold down the shift key when powering on the machine. This will run a disk repair program. Boot up will take longer as the harddrive is scanned and repaired.
    See this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393
    Or from:
        mrtotes article  :
        Boot from the OS X Install disk and from the Menu Bar choose Disk Utility. Then run "Repair Disk" and "Repair Disk Permissions" on your hard disk.

    Here the apple article on booting single user mode and using fsck. See the section on Use fsck:

    I suspect not but Perhaps Disk Warrior will be of some help:

  • I upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS8 and keep getting knocked off of cellular data. Is there a fix for this? Can  I downgrade back to iOS7?

    I recently upgraded the software on my iPad 2 to iOS8.02. Since upgrading the iPad is running slower and choppier, with several apps no longer working. In addition, it keeps knocking me off my cellular data and showing no service. Is there any fix for this, or can I downgrade the iOS back to 7?

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

    If a phone is sold from one friend to another and wants to use it on a different carrier the friend can contact the carrier it was sold by to request it unlocked.  I know AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will give you the steps to unlock it as long as the original contract it was bought under has been completed.  eBay/Craigslist is really not the best place to try to get "unlocked phones" from, if it turns out the phone isn't unlocked then I'm really sorry you got stuck with that one and as stevejobsfan said above I would report them immediately and see if you can recover your money.  I sell phones for a living and this happens a lot

    Error 1004 and 1013: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
    Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.

  • I  have no service on my iphone 3gs. Is there a fix for this problem.

    I have no service  or no 3G Network on my iphone 3GS. Is there a fix from Apple for this problem.

    Sometimes this happens to me, I know I am old school as well with an iPhone 3g hey what can I say I got a great deal on it. If I do a reboot, hold the power button and home button down for 10 seconds, and then hold the power button down until the apple logo appears it usually fixes this issue.

  • Trying to install iTunes on Windows 8.1.  Apple Application Support was not found.  Error 2.  Uniinstall iTunes and try again, does not work.  Is there a fix?

    Trying to install iTunes on Windows 8.1.  Apple Application Support was not found.  Error 2.  Uniinstall iTunes and try again, does not work.  Is there a fix?

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    http://www.essexinfo.net/queens-road-residents-association/assets/documents/village-voices is one example but a whole lot of the material which has been uploaded as pdf files over the last four years is now unviewable - if you click on the link you just get a black page.  The main site url is http://www.essexinfo.net and our site is the Queens Road Residents Association.  I have just gone through every link on the site and a number of links when clicked on will not bring up the material.  I tried going into Adobe 10 on my computer and disenabling protected mode as was suggested on your forum and at first when I went back into the essex info site it seemed to have worked when I clicked on a link that had only produced a black page.  However when I went back to test all the other links I found that the problem was still re-occuring.  This is really weird as the site and my connections to it which I sometimes make by directly accessing the site and sometime via a link from our QRRA blog have always worked perfectly with no problems up to now.  I downloaded adobe 10.1 on 8 March 2011.
    I contacted essexinfo separately but they said everything seemed to be OK at their end working from within the system.
    If you can help I would appreciate it.
