Some Windows users have reported receiving the error message “iPodService Module (32-bit) has encountered a problem and needs to close” after updating to iTunes 10.
Fix
This problem can generally be resolved via the following procedure:
- Downgrade to iTunes 9.2.1
- Copy the folder Program Files\iPod to a safe location (such as your desktop)
- Reinstall iTunes 10. Ignore any iPod Service errors you receive.
- Replace the new folder at Program Files\iPod with the one you previously saved (the version installed by iTunes 9.2.1)
- Relaunch iTunes 10

This is really, really stupid. Why should we have to waste that much time uninstalling, re-installing, copying folders, etc. Just come out with a fix.

Here’s a clean fix that seems to hit the iTunes 10 problem on the head:

You don’t need to go through all that rubbish. the ipod service stuff is in program files / ipod / bin.
just copy the bin folder from v9 and overwrite the v10 one..

Brilliant. My Nano 5 died and as soon as my Nono 6 connected it all turned ti sh*t. This cured it. Thanks
