IPod Nano 6g not syncing - Apple Mobile Device Support can't install

i recently got iTunes working again on my computer. my grandfather wanted me to sync his old iPod Nano, so i did that and it worked fine. i then tried to sync my own iPod Nano 6g, and it gave me the error:
"An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again.
If the problem persists, uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again."
i tried reconnecting the iPod, of course, and then tried reinstalling iTunes, but the same error kept coming up. if i closed iTunes, then connected the iPod, i could find it in My Computer, but after opening iTunes it would give me the error and eject itself. i then tried all the stuff outlined here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ituneshelp/?kbase=TS1363&viewlocale=en_US
but that didn't help. i tried plugging the iPod into the USB ports at the back of the computer, but nope.
i soon discovered that Apple Mobile Device Support wasn't running or installed on the computer, and that that may be the source of the problem. however, i looked in my C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple folder and there was a Apple Mobile Device folder. it didn't appear complete, though, as there wasn't the 'bin' folder needed to run AMDS properly. i renamed this Apple Mobile Device folder, adding an 'OLD' at the end, so as to not interrupt any times i would try to install AMDS in this folder properly.
i first tried a simple complete uninstall then reinstall of iTunes, but i noticed during the install that when the installer got to the stage of installing Apple Mobile Device Support, it would stop and then say 'rolling back action' and the loading bar would move backwards, before installing the rest of iTunes as normal. hence, AMDS was still uninstalled and my iPod still wasn't being recognized by iTunes.
i tried extracting the iTunesSetup.exe file, and then running the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi file separately, but it would give me the same rolling back action thing and it would end in 'installation interrupted, system was not modified, please try again later'. tried disabling my anti-virus then installing iTunes, then disabling my anti-virus and running the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi separately but nothing was different.
please help. why is Apple Mobile Device Support not installing? and is this actually the reason why my iPod is not syncing with iTunes? any insight would be appreciated. thanks.

On rare occasions on Windows XP systems, I've seen that effect produced when there are old files/folders for the netaapl.sys and usbaapl.sys drivers stuck down in your Windows Operating system folders. If that's afoot, the following (somewhat involved) procedure may be of some assistance:

    Hi Markynewman,
    If you're unable to sync with iTunes any more and the error states you need a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support, I would check out this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    The first section has you troubleshoot your device, which is always a good idea but you might be able to skip since the error mentions Apple Mobile Device Support as the culprit.  The second section is for troubleshooting iTunes and Apple Mobile Device Support.
    Cheers,

    Hey petanque1,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues installing iTunes for Windows. The following article outlines the error message you are receiving and a potential resolution:

    ok, i'm stunnend.
    apparently there was something that resolved the issue, the store works fine now... have been hacking around on this for days, and now, just at once. only thing i did (and i did that before, naturally, it's one of the first things you trie) is disable my antivirus software. It runs perfectly with antivirus enabled now to....beats me...
    anyway: resolved!

  • Apple Mobile Device Support won't install, keeps rolling back..

    I'm using Windows 7 64bit and i have everything updated. Since I've upgraded my iTunes to version 10.1, I can't sync my iPod Touch with it anymore.
    Each time I plug my iPod in,
    - the iPod could be detected by windows but not iTunes, and I keep getting the same error message " "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64bit version of iTunes""
    - my iPod shows up as "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" in devices and printers
    After searching through the internet, I've tried many fixes but none of them worked. I've tried,
    - downloading the latest iTunes and uninstalling it and reinstalling it again and again
    - uninstalling step by step and completely removed everything as guided by this website (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923)
    - extracting the AMDS MSI file from the iTunes64setup and run it separately
    - copying the registry files and the whole Apple Mobile Device Support folder from a Vista machine as recommended in some websites
    - creating a new user account with admin rights and reinstalling iTunes again after completely removing everything
    I've read a post (http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2531860) in which the user encounters a similar problem as well, and apparently the user solved this problem by replacing the files in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\netaapl64.infamd64_neutral26aa9fb28983e9b5
    C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\usbaapl64.infamd64_neutral36363f69e6e22c1b
    with files he had extracted from the CAB files within the AMDS MSI installer from the iTunes64Setup download.
    But the problem is, whenever I try to extract the netaap164 and usbaap164 files from the AMDS MSI installer, using WinRAR, it says that the archive is corrupted and thus I won't be able to extract these files out.
    Can anyone give me any suggestions or teach me what to do? I'm really stucked and lost now. Thanks in advance. =)

    After a couple days searching the internet for a solution I pieced togetherwhat my problem was from several forums and fixed it; maybe my solution/problemis similar to all of yours. (NOTE: I’m running Windows XP Professional, 32-bit,with Service Pack 3 – so you’ll have to translate my issue into your Windows 7format because I have no idea how to operate things is that version of Windows.)
    I traced the error to the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver under"Universal Serial Bus Controllers" as others have too (everything inthe iTunes installation would install perfectly well except for Apple MobileDevice Support). However, my problem wasn't with the driver itself -- I had amissing .dll file on my computer for the Hardware Update Wizard (whenever Iwould 'right click’ any USB driver and select "Update", HardwareUpdate Wizard would not open; nothing would happen).
    So, I went searching for this problem next, and I found this website: http://kf.livejournal.com/208963.html?view=2699587#t2699587
    The page suggests that the problem is a missing .dll file called “newdev.dll”that should be located in “C:\WINDOWS\system32\” (again, I don’t know theequivalent folder for Windows 7, so someone else will need to find out where “newdev.dll”belongs) – I did a search of the .dll file on my computer and found it missing.However, I found another copy of it on my computer using “Seach Everything” (foundhere: http://download.cnet.com/Everything/3000-2379_4-10890746.html)– but, you can also use the Windows Search tool. There were copies located in “C:\Windows\system32\dllcache”and “C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386”. (I would suggest searching for itrather than locating it manually in Explorer in case its in a hidden folder.)
    I copied one of the preexisting files of “newdev.dll” and pasted it into “C:\WINDOWS\system32\”.Then I tried re-installing Apple Mobile Device Support and it worked (norolling back installation). When I plugged my iPhone back into my USB “AppleMobile Device USB Driver” reappeared under “Universal Serial Bus controllers”in “Computer Management” – all I had to do was “Enable” it again and I hadaccess to my iPhone in iTunes again.
    Also, I had copied a preexisting file of AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi to mydesktop prior to uninstalling everything, so when I tried to reinstall iTunesand Apple Mobile Device Support failed to install all I had to do later when Ifound the solution was reinstall AMDS. If you do not have a copy of “AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi”try completely uninstalling everything (like so many other forums suggest, asdoes Apple, here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925),and reinstall iTunes with the Hardware Update Wizard .dll file replaced. (I can’tsay if this entire reinstallation will work since I only had to install AMDS.)
    Hope my problem was your problem as well.

  • Apple mobile device support unable to install

    I have windows 8.1 and itunes "11.1.5.5".  I have tried uninstalling itunes and everything else that has to do with apple on my system many times and still get this error. I have also tried what I found in other discussions about installing apple mobile device on its own and when I try that I get this error.
    apple mobile device support wasn't installed on your computer.
    The installer encountered errors before apple mobile device support could be configured.
    Your system has not been modified. To tetry these operations at a later time, please run installer again."
    I have tried this many times as well as uninstalling everything that has to do with itunes and apple and I still can't get it to work.
    help!!!!

    You could try downloading and installing 7-Zip (free) and downloading a fresh copy of the iTunes installer, unpack the installer into its components using 7-Zip then try a standalone install of AppleMobileDeviceSupport. It may still fail to install but if so you may get useful error messages as to why not.

  • "Apple Mobile Device Support" doesn't install with iTunes

    When I install iTunes 11.3 on my pc "Apple Mobile Device Support" doesn't install.
    The installer installs
    Apple Application Support
    Apple Software Update
    Bonjour
    iTunes
    But it doesn't install "Apple Mobile Device Support"
    My OS is "Windows 8.1 64bit"
    i have ESET Smart Security installed on my PC but when i want to install itunes i disable it .
    i removed and installed itunes completely several times but it didn't help !
    sb help me pls !!!!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Mobile Device Support, won't install normally.

  • HT1923 I can not remove Apple mobile devices support although I follow the sequence?

    While updating itunes I got an error message for "C runtime". After several atempts I decided to remove the itune and reinstall it, but the component " Apple mobile Devices support" did not uninstall ? I can not install itunes. What can be done?

    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.

  • HT1925 Why can I not uninstall "apple mobile device support" from my computer?

    I am unable to uninstall "apple mobile device support program" from my computer.  The uninstall is necessary because an error message MSVC80.dll pops up.

  • Windows 7 - apple mobile device support DOESN'T INSTALL

    Well, trying to get iTunes running on my windows 7 box, seems that everything installs except for Apple Mobile Device Support which needs to be there in order for iTunes to recognize the iPhone... and it is also required by the MobileMe application or it too won't install. I've followed Apple's support article HT1923 about 20 times, but still no luck... anyone get a 32bit version of iTunes working after a similar problem?

    I am having similar problems with iPhone 3G on Win7 x64. Prior to installing iTunes, Win7 Device Stage recognized the iPhone, but after installing iTunes (x64) latest version (9.0.1.8), all that shows up is "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver".
    iTunes seems to recognize the phone still, but other windows programs which had previously been able to connect to the phone (e.g Picasa sync photos) can no longer do so.
    Reinstall of itunes, all apple software does not seem to help.
    What is wrong? The apple mobile device support driver seems suspect to me...

  • Apple Mobile Device Support fails to install. Log file provided.

    I have uninstalled the older version of itunes and all associated files in the reccommended order. In particular I have verified all Apple Mobile Device files, services and registry entries have been removed. I then downloaded itunes version 11.0.3 to my PC and installed the product. Other than AMDS the product loaded onto my PC and appears to work ok, including being able to recognise my ipod. Unfortunately itunes does not recognise my iphone.
    However, the install produced two error messages.
    First Error:
    Program Files\itunes\ipodUpdaterExt.dll failed to register.
    HRESULT-1073741819
    Contact your support personnel
    Second Error:
    Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services
    During the install, the program 'rolled back' the portion related to AMDS. To further analyse the problem I extracted the AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi from the itunes64Setup.exe file. I ran the .msi file as the System Administrator and produced a log file. The log file partially contained the following:

    I stopped all the services running, (msconfig / startup and services) and that still did not help, i went through my registry for every "apple" and deleted it, after uninstalling all apple products, that did not help, i ran windows install clean up and made sure that quicktime and itunes and apple updatea re not installed, did the whole thing again, no luck.......
    Can someone please tell me what is going on, i can run it just fine on my other machine, which is running windows xp pro as well, the only thing different i did on this one was that i plugged in the Iphone before installing the software, whereas i ran the itunes installer on that one before i plugged in the iphone, and yes, i did get the iphone driver as a camera at first, and i changed it later by pointing the update driver to the same directory where applemobiledevicesupport extracted the 3 driver files :
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    and the files are usbaapl.cat , usbaapl.inf, and usbaapl.sys
    please look into this issue, i've done everything i could think of,
    Thank you.

    I have the exact same problem on my workstation and previously solved it by installing iTunes on a different computer and copying all the files and registry keys to my workstation. However, it didn't solve the problem when i tried to update to itunes 7.6 ...
    Is there any solution yet?

  • Is there a Definitive Answer? Apple Mobile Device Support won't install

    Firstly apologies, i have lost track of the number of threads i have read on this site, but none seem to resolve the issue. I am running Windows 7 64Bit (Professional), also have the same problem on a XP SP3 laptop... but the works laptop will allow the install, also win7 64 bit (but not alllowable software so need to uninstall)
    I have mangemed to finally install Itunes and all associated software packages to 10.7.21, following months and months of hassle (last working version of itunes was down in 10.1.??)
    BUT, frustratingly i still cannot get Apple mobile Device support to install. Before any one asks the obvious questions i have tried just about everything (assuming the one i havent tried is the one that works)
    I have extracted the install file and ran that seperately, yes as administrator (both right click and forcing the compatibility in the file properties), both accounts on the machine, also created a new account and tried on that. Same issue as most people, failed to install and rolled back
    I have tried installing whilst in compatibilty check and get a report that it is an incompatible application.
    When opening Itunes itself i get a message that i need to install the 64bit version.
    This is starting to get seriosly annoying in that my iphone 4 has now also decided to fail during an update to ios6... serves me right for listening to one of the genius's instore.
    Anybody with any ideas please throw them this way. Next step is to format machine and start from scratch

    So, after another evening of trawling the internet i found the following and decided it was worth a try
    http://randomwindowstips.wordpress.com/2009/12/08/windows-7-itunes-9-software-is -not-installed/
    The following is taken straight from Aurelius, so huge HUGE thanks. (This works if you still have 10.6.3, failing that, if you know anyone that has the latest version, this is how i got this **** programme to actually work (or wait, as this will be updated shortly!!) I had at this point let everything install from Itunes installer and again had the rollback on the AMDS.
    Copy the following folders from a working machine to your machine (apologies if you don't know anyone with a working copy, keep an eye on the link as it will be updated)
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    Next, type regedit into windows search and allow the programme to start. Go to the following address:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Apple Inc.\Apple Mobile Device Support]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Apple Mobile Device]
    Right click and export the files. Next you need to copy them to your machine and double click them and allow to install. Restart and hopefully all is finally well (or it was on mine).
    Good luck to anyone who finds this.
