iPod help

**Cona** · 04-27-2005, 07:01 PM

Ok I tried to put some more songs on my iPod today but when I connected my iPod to my computer it said "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software.". So i deleted iTunes off my computer and reinstalled it again but it keeps giving me the same message every time and it says something about the installation failing half way through. Can anyone help me on this?

I got the same problem, but it went away when I reinstalled it

Have you been fiddling with what starts up in Windows?

No not really, I might need to wipe my whole computer anyway cos we keep gettng spyware messages on it, so that might fix it. I just don't understand why it keeps saying that even though I reinstalled it like 3 times. I'll try it again later.

try installing it to a different directory when prompted, that way it will recreate the registry entries to point to your new installation.
