All of a sudden my itunes won't work ,it asks me to reinstall but still wont work

I keep getting the message "Apple Mobile Device (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient priveleges to start system services"
and I've tried reinstalling a few times now.  I don't know what else to try??

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.

  • All of a sudden, my iTunes won't play music.

    All of a sudden my iTunes won't play anything in the store or my library. Updates are done and my windows computer is authorized. It has worked fine in the past and then all of a sudden, I click play and nothing plays. I can play music and video in other programs except itunes. Volume is up also. It won't play at all. Any suggestions???

    I would suggest first,
    looking for the files (not in iTunes but on the desktop. If you find the files they've simply been removed from iTunes. - If you can't find the files they've been erased and there's not a lot that can be done.
    Removing files from and iPod is another question. Firstly, it IS difficult, but it can be done. There are numerous tutorials on the web on how to do it.

    The iPad is telling you it has entered the recovery mode - you need to follow the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 for connecting to a computer running iTunes by way of the recovery mode.

  • Since last update of Pages, my Pages app in iPad anda iPhone doesn't open, it closes suddenly. I already deleted it and reinstalled, but still not works.

    Since last update of Pages, my Pages app in iPad anda iPhone doesn't open, it closes suddenly. I already deleted it and reinstalled, but still not works.
    Can someone help? Do I need to wait for another update?
    Thanks

    This is my problem that has to originate from the update.  So glad that I did not purchase a MacBook!  Apple products/apps are appearing to be not different from Windows products.
    I have deleted and reinstalled from the device and desktop, resets, etc.  When I uninstalled and reinstalled while connected to my desktop, the older version of pages was installed.  I was able to see all of my files that were saved to the cloud.  I was forced to update again to access any of the saved files.  Once updated again, I could no longer open pages.  It began, to open and abruptly shut down.

  • All of a sudden my iTunes stopped working, and I get the following error messages:   1. the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem   and   2. iTunes was not installed correct

    All of a sudden my iTunes stopped working, and I get the following error messages:
    1. the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem
    and
    2. iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126).
    Now I've checked the forums and followed the advice of uninstalling all Apple applications, rebooting, and reinstalling iTunes.
    This is not working. I've tried installing as Administrator but doesn't make any difference at all.
    There must be a way to fix this? I'm not a tech geek but I want to avoid having to take my laptop back to factory settings to sort this out.
    Thanks

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • All of a sudden my itunes wont come up when i hit the desktop icon. un and re installed many times, tried new users, it finally gave me "you need to reinstall sqmapi.dll " im a noob and i have know idea what that is or where i can get it. i cant open any

    all of a sudden my itunes wont come up when i hit the desktop icon. un and re installed many times, tried new users, it finally gave me "you need to reinstall sqmapi.dll " im a noob and i have know idea what that is or where i can get it. i cant open any file or library that has anything to do with itunes except safari and quicktime are fine. im about to pull out whats left of my hair.

    Okay, that's got one thing ruled out at least.
    Can you check something for me, big? I'd like to see if iTunes launches with the Bonjour Service disabled.
    In your Start menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
    Expand "Services & Applications".
    Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)
    Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".
    In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Disabled":
    ... and click OK.
    Restart the PC and try launching iTunes. Does it open this time?

    Open the Sharing pane in System Preferences. If the Computer Name is not set, enter a name. You may first have to click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings.

  • All of a sudden, my iPad won't come on. I can't tell if it is charging. Did the screen die? I had no problems prior to this.

    All of a sudden, my iPad won't turn on. I've had no previous problems. I plugged it in last night, at 9%. Took it to work this morning. It worked for a while. Then, I went to check email again, and it wouldn't come on. I hadn't noticed the power status, so I don't know if it didn't take a charge overnight. It's been plugged in again all evening, and still won't turn on. Any suggestions?

    It's possible you have a defective charger and you don't have any juice left.  The first thing you should try is a reboot:  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go o both buttons and hopefully, your iPad will restart.  If that doesn't work, it's possible you just don't have a charge left.  You can trickle charge your iPad via your computer, it will take a loooong time, but even though it says it's not charging, it is, just verrrry slowly.  If that doesn't work, it's probably time to make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your Apple Store.  If of course your wall charger isn't charging your device, it could be as simple as replacing the charger.

  • All of a sudden my keyboard won't type.

    All of a sudden my keyboard won't type.  This happened before and it was just something that I hit accidentally that turned off the keyboard.  Can't remember how to fix it.  It was very simple, like pressing a couple keys and it worked.

    As I suspected, the keys aren't registering to allow you to boot from a CD or switch the startup disk. I am going to assume that you wont be able to reset the pram or do an SMC reset either. You can try anyway...
    PRAM reset
    hold Option + Command + P + R and press the power button. Hold those keys until you hear the startup chime at least 2 times.
    SMC Reset
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Safe boot
    Hold the shift key whilst rebooting.
    You can try these three things, but I'm leaning towards a hardware failure on this as it seems the KB is not functioning even prior to the OS loading.
