An “iPod Service Error” alert or “Please Reinstall iTunes” message appears in Windows

Last updated: May 16, 2021 5:35 pm UTC
By Bob Levens

I keep getting an error message which tells me that the software required to communicate with my iPod is not installed properly and that I have to reinstall iTunes to install the iPod’s software.

What do I have to do?

In Windows 2000 and Windows XP, your iPod won’t be able to work if the iPod Service doesn’t load or conflicts with another service.

For further information – Apple Article 93716
