Error 7 came up when updating itunes, told to reinstall but 'apple mobile device' failed to start, check privileges? what does this mean?

when trying to update itunes error 7 appeared and a message to reinstall. have tried to dowload again but now 'apple mobile device' failed to start, verify you have sufficient privileges? Anyone know what this means. do I ignore?

I am having this same problem. I took Kappy advice on restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service, however that did not work. I got this message in a pop up window that came up immediately.
Windows could not start the Apple Mobil Device Service on local computer.
Error 1053 The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
I have already uninstalled itunes, all the related programs and I cannot reinstall, this Apple Mobil Device message stops the install.
Can anyone please help?

HT1199 When installing iTunes, I get message "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start.

After getting the above error message, I ignore it. The installation seems to continue fine. Then when I start iTunes, I get the message "iTunes did not install properly Error 7 (Windows error 193). I have updated the Microsoft .NET software to the latest version, then deleted iTunes and QuickTime, restarted the system, then downloaded and installed iTunes again and I still get the same messages. I am running a Windows 7 machine with Internet Explorer 11. Does anyone have a clue on how to correcct this?

HT1349 ITunes failed to start after an upgrade, won't allow me to re-install saying "Apple Mobile Device failed to start, check for sufficient priveleges"

My ITunes library failed to start after an upgrade, now I'm unable to open or re-install. Receive an error message stating that "apple mobile device failed to start, check to see that you have sufficient priveleges to run system". Any help with this? I've tried un-installing and downloading only to get the same message again.

Thank you to "turingtest2", solution for someone else worked for me as well!

Reinstalling iTunes and getting message "service 'apple mobile device'failed to start.Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services"

Reinstalling iTunes and getting message "service 'apple mobile device'failed to start.Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services"

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Reinstalling itunes, I get the message "Apple Mobile Device failed to start"

A few days ago, my 3rd Gen ipod touch wasn't syncing to itunes. I would get a message like "Apple Mobile Device Support has failed to start. Please uninstall AMDS and itunes.." So I did all that today, followed the instructions on the Apple support site, and now I'm getting this message when I try to reinstall itunes. "Apple Mobile Device failed to star, verify you have sufficient privileges to start system resources. " I can still skip the step and install it, but then my ipod still won't connect.
What do I do??

Update failed and now system won't work. Itunes update. Running Windows 7-64 Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Asks if I have priviledges

System was running fine until the update

Hello jackhennessy,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with installing the latest iTunes update. I recommend following the steps below as an administrator:
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
When you get to the step to uninstall iTunes, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step. You can find the full article here:

TS3212 When I try to download ITunes, it keeps saying that Apple Mobile Device failed to start. What does that mean? How do I verify my privileges?

HT1926 apple mobile device failed to start ? i keep getting this message when trying to install itunes program.

I am trying to install itunes as i had to uninstall the software. and now when i try to reinstall it i keep getting this message. I dont understand why? or how to fix it. It shouldnt be this difficult to install a program. All this just because of some upgrade that wouldnt install and messed up itunes and made it invalid to even open.

Hey AndreaKK,
I would try the following directions:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

If you have Windows XP, there are slightly different directions in here:

Hi was told that there was an update for itunes yesterday, when to update and this kept failing, was prompted to uninstall itunes and reinstall this continues to fail message coming up says Apple Mobile device failed to start insufficient previlieges

Hi yesterday I was prompted to a update to itunes this I tried to do without success failing a number of times. After this I was prompted to unistall itunes and re install this now continues to fail with a message error something like Apple Mobile Devices Failed to start not enough previlieges. Please help is this a Apple issue Iv'e never had any problems before.

I had this same problem this morning. When I tried to run ITunes after the failed upgrade I got a "msvcr80.dll is missing" driver error.
Following the instructions in step 1 of this link:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/msvcr80-dll-not-found-missing -error.htm
got the latest version of ITunes up and running for me.
The only thing that didn't quite work like the instructions said was I couldn't get the Apple Mobile Device Support to uninstall. The uninstall ran and said it was successful, but it was never removed from my list of installed programs. Even w/ that, the full re-install fixed the issue.

Encountered an error apsdaemon.exe when trying to update itunes. Tried to redownload it and it said Service 'apple mobile device' failed to start and do I have sufficient privileges to start system services? I have an Ipad too. R they talking about it?

I didn't uninstall Itunes from the Ipad Just my PC,

I don't think so...Seems like an apple issue to me...Or do you know something I don't?

When updating Itunes I keep getting an error messge mobile device failed to start check for sufficient privileges

I need help upgrading Itunes.I keep getting an error message that says
Mobile device failed to start check for sufficient privileges.I am running windows 8

Same here - did the latest iTunes update and boy am I glad I did that; haven't been able to run iTunes since. Have re-installed after uninstalling as per one of the other help pages, re-booting, and now instead of getting the above error message I get one that says Apple Application support not found. Please uninstall then reinstall. Apple error 2.
Not thanks - Apple, you might want to do something about this I'm guessing since I'm no longer able to use iTunes thanks to your update?
