Ipod Service Error!

Anthony (and anyone else who's attention I can get),

What do you have at the following registry locations?

HKEY LOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\iPodService
HKEY LOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\iPodService\Security

hi -

i'm sooo happy that things are working for me.
I was sent an email asking me to describe what I have at Toonz's above mentioned registry locations?

How do I find this out?

thanks!

I'm confused, Casey. Are you still broken or is your iPod working?

On the start menu, click on "run". in the space it provides enter "regedit" without the quotes. This will open the registry editor.

Find the heading HKEY LOCALMACHINE. Click on the + sign
Find the heading SYSTEM inside it. Click on the + sign.
Find the heading CurrentControlSet. Click
Find the heading Control. Click
Find the heading Services. Click
Find the heading iPodService. Click on the word iPodService.

On the right hand side of the window, you will see stuff. Values for registry entries. What is do you have there? Screenshot accepted as part of the hardware assignment. Or just type it in the reply.

Then click on the + sign next to iPodService.
Find the heading Security. Click on the word Security.

On the right hand side of the window, you will see registry values? What do you have set there?

I don't know how to save a screenshot. I found a program on the Internet called screenshot utility.
I don't feel up to typing all the columns of everything listed.
Is there an easier way to do this?

I made the screenies but I have no webspace to upload them. Is it possible to upload it directly in here?

Casey,

The program I always use is Meazure(tm) from C Thing software. Yes, that's really a picture of Barron's cat on the front page.

It's a free download.

If you don't have anywhere to post it, send it to the apple moderator. Tell her Toonz sent you. It doesn't hurt to put the URL to this discussion thread, so that whoever gets it has some context.

If they're really huge, she's gonna love me. 🙂

after itunes came up this error, along with ipod updater. i simply ran itunes setup again, clicked repair, and when i started itunes again it worked fine.

hope this helps

I sent it too...we'll see what comes next

Toonz.

I do not have any iPOD Services in the Regustry folder. It's as if it never starts.

And my iPODService.exe file is 316 KB.

Thanks.

Cliff,

Try something for me:

1. Quit iTunes and disconnect the iPod.

2. If you have the iPodService running -- Right click task bar, select "Task Manager", click on Processes tab. If you find "iPodService.exe" in the list, select it and stop it.

3. Register Atl.dll manually. In Windows, click Start, and then click Run.
The Run dialog box appears. In the Open box, type "regsvr32 atl.dll". Hit return. Do you get a message? What does the message say?

4. Then in Windows, click Start and then click Run. Type in "cmd", hit return. In the dialog that comes up, at the prompt type in "C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.exe /service"

5. Run iTunes and connect the iPod back up to it.

Does it work now?

No. It still does not work, but I saw a different error message, and notices the iPodService.exe running for the first time.

I made screen captures of all of the steps. Do you have an email address I can send it to?

Send it to the apple moderator. Tell her Toonz sent you. It doesn't hurt to put the URL to this discussion thread, so that whoever gets it has some context.

I have to apologize. I ran the iPod Updater, which finally worked after I ran your instructions. After the Updater finished, PC reboot, ITunes is now working with my iPod. Thanks for your help.
