I am trying to reinstall iTunes but seems the Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start so I am not able to finish the download, what should I do.
I am trying to install itunes but at the status of 'Starting Services' it tells me that 'Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". I clicked retry and ignore button but same result. What shoud I do?
Has your windows previously installed itunes?
Do uninstall all other apple programs such as
Apple Application Support
Apple Mobile Device Support
Apple Software Update
Bonjour
these programs above doesn't remove together with itunes.
remove these programs and make a reboot for ur windows.
then download the latest itunes and install.

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.

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 was trying to do the latest update on my desktop for my Itunes. I got MSVCR80.dll is missing. I saw a post about deleting all the apple itunes programs, restarting and reinstalling. I tried that. As it was installing a message came up about "Service'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start systems services. I did a retry, got the same message, then hit ignore. It went on. Then a message popped up saying "Itunes not installed correctly" Error 7 (Windows error 126)
Now my Itunes program will not open at all. What gives? This is very frustrating and I am not very computer literate to begin with.Hi Iss9243,
