software not installed correctly to communicate with ipod/iphone. please install again

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
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 AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Software not installed correctly to communicate with ipod -Tryed evrything

Hello i am geting the "Software not installed correctly to communicate with ipod" error. I tryed everything on http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716 nothing worked. I need help for a fix. I was having error 2095 before then i fixed it. Now im having this problem
Ipod: 30 gig video
Computer: HP a1112n

Itunes ver: 6.0.2.23
that rules out one set of possibilities.
okay, we'd better check on the following two possibilities then. (the second one has shown up in itunes 6.0.0.18, 6.0.1.3 and 6.0.4.2, so it's a live possibility with a 6.0.2.23.)

Hi, I just tried to open Word and this message appeared - 'You can't open the application Microsoft Word because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.' I just recently loaded OS X Lion does this mean my software for MS Office is now out of date? Do I have to purchase a new package? Any help appreciated.

Hello:
Office 2004 was written for the PowerPC chip only. There is no emulation in OS X 10.7.
I encountered the same issue sometime ago when I updated to OS X 10.7.
There is one option that I might mention (other than buy Office 2011). I switched to Apple's iWork. Pages (the word processing package) is completely compatible with Word. If you export Pages documents, you can export them in formats compatible with Microsoft programs. iWork also contains programs that are compatible with Office presentation and spreadsheet packages.
The reason I mention this is that the cost is about 1/2 of the cost of Office.

Gary,
Thanks for getting back to me - I gave up on getting this to work yesterday so Im hoping today will be better. I tried your suggestion of holding down the shift key and it didnt work. I have tried alot of stuff that I found posted in the discussions - I tried doing what you suggested Hewtab do - following the article, IPod appears in Window but not in Itunes. I have shut down my virus software - I even restored my computer back to before I installed Itunes and tried to reinstall it but no go - that made it even worse. When I try to uninstall or reinstall Itunes or the Ipod software it wont let me. - It simply says Product_Name ws not found in string table. IS there anything else I can do? Im about to download winamp and be done with itunes.
Thanks in advance for your help!

"iPod software not installed correctly" message.

I posted an earlier topic, but the initial problem has been resolved.
Whenever I plug my iPod into my PC, iTunes gives a message that the iPod software is not installed properly and to reinstall it. I've reinstalled it twice now. The iPod works on my brother's computer and it is recognized fine. What is causing this problem?
Thanks.

hi Grady!
just checking to see where you're at. (i saw your other post, and thought from that that you might have fixed this issue.)
have you worked through these documents yet?

Scanjet 200 software not installing correctly

I'm running Win7SP1.64bit.
Some of the software doesn't appear to have installed correctly, therefore the two desktop shortcuts (HP Scanning and HP Copy) do not work (they both point to hpqkygrp.exe which does not exist on my HDD or on the CD (although it could be in a CAB file in the setup folder)).
There are no scanner shortcuts at all in my Start menu - only HP Update.
All the buttons on the scanner do launch the scan app but it only allows me to scan to picture (JPG, BMP, PNG, TIF). I cannot scan to PDF, scan to email, or scan to printer (copy).
In the scan app, if I click to change the scanner I get the oportunity to change the properties... On the Events tab, I should be able to configure the actions associated with each of the four buttons but the only available "Start this program" action is "Scan". All four buttons are set to this action.
Control Panel -> Programs&Features entries are
HP Update,
HP Imaging Device Functions 14.5 and
OCR Software by I.R.I.S. 14.5.
I've installed and uninstalled the driver and the software numerous times with no difference. I've tried the driver on the CD and downloaded the latest driver from the HP website. I've followed all the troubleshooting procedures I can find but none have helped and i've tried googling this elusive hpqkygrp.exe and found diddlysquat.
I have little enough hair left as it is. Can anyone suggest what might be going wrong?

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at Scanners.

The software required for comunicating with ipod is not installed correctly

Hey
I have recently had to reinstall windows xp on my laptop as the moder board crushed
while the installation was done by a professional, since then everytime i plug my 30gb fifth generation ipod to synch with my Itunes library the following message appears:
"The software required for communicating with the ipod is not installed correctly. Please Reinstall Ipod to reinstall the ipod's software."
what does that mean? i thought
I tried to reinstall itunes over twenty times, sometimes deleting it beforehand using the task messenger, but no use.
I have checked to see if my ipod works with other computers and he does, therefore its a problem of the itunes, or my computer.
I am reaching desperation, as i am unable to update and synch my ipod for over a month now.
i need either a solution or a way of maybe installing an older version of itunes, which may work.
can anyone help?
please?

i did the research for you and found the link for the 7.5...

IPod software not installed?

Okay, I've been having this problem for a few weeks now. Whenever I attempt to update my iPod an error message appears on iTunes that says that it doesn't have the software needed to interact with the iPod and to try reinstalling iTunes to fix the problem.
I've reinstalled iTunes about 3 times already and I even removed it from my computer completely and installed it from scratch and the same message keeps on appearing.
If anyone has any idea how to fix this problem, your help would be greatly appreciated.

One more addition to my question: I have no trouble at all seeing the iPod in Windows, the drive mounts just fine, and the USB drivers are the latest available and work fine.
Your help greatly appreciated.

TS1717 Having trouble running iTunes version 11.0.2 on a Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1. Keep getting an error message "the software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly..." reinst

Having trouble when I launch iTunes (version 11.0.2) on my Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional (service pack 1). I get an error message indicating software required to communicate with iPod and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you? I normally respond with OK and it immediately tells me "could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes..." I have done this a number of times to no avail.

I also notice Quicktime is not getting installed at all.
That one is normal nowadays (ever since the iTunes versions 10.5.x).
