Communication prob with iTunes

[derekjacoby]

I had a hd crash recently and needed to recover my iPod's contents. I used copypod and now all my songs are back and I have a new iTunes 4.9. But, now when I try to connect the iPod to iTunes I get, "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software."

I have reinstalled iTunes 4 or 5 times and it makes no difference. I have tried to restore the ipod to factory settings and just reload the music again but all of the iPod updater programs say "iPod service error."

Please help. I don't mind deleting everything and starting over because all the music is now on my hd and in iTunes.
Thanks!

Sorry about cross posting. I didn't know where the best place to put my post was and I didn't realize you shouldn't do it (i don't spend a lot of time on bulliten boards but if I had thought about it for a second I probably would have realized it's not good to do). Thanks for the article. It was exactly my problem and I have fixed the iPod!
