iPod Support
Overview
iPod Support is a software program developed by Apple. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The setup package generally installs about 8 files and is usually about 32.73 MB (34,316,288 bytes). The installed file ipodupdaterext.dll is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered. Relative to the overall usage of those who have this installed, most are running it on Windows 10. While about 83% of users of iPod Support come from the United States, it is also popular in United Kingdom and Australia.
