Solved: iPod service error in Windows XP SP3

I have recently come across yet another issue stemming from Apple. After one of my clients installed the new iTunes 10.0 update he started to receive multiple errors every time he tried to open iTunes before it would actually work.  The error stated“Service (iPod Service)failed to start.Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.” ?Now, because he is such an avid listener of music this is a very big annoyance.

After much time and some helpful leads found online I have come up with a work around until Apple updates to the next version and hopefully fixes this problem.

Step 1.   Uninstall the current version of iTunes and restart your computer

Step 2.   Install iTunes version 9.2.1.4

Step 3.   Locate the iPod folder in the Program files and copy it to the Desktop. Make sure you copy it and don’t just create a shortcut.

Step 4.   Uninstall the current version of iTunes and restart your computer.

Step 5.   Reinstall the newest version of iTunes, 10.0.

Step 6.   Now locate the iPod folder in the Program files, delete it and place the iPod folder you copied to the Desktop in step 3 and place it in the Program files.

That’s it, you should now be able to open iTunes 10.0 with no problems.
