AMDS will not install when I download itunes on vista

I have been trying to install itunes for months, my old ipod worked well with 10.4 but then failed to recognise the device when it needed updating. After calling Apple their helpline advised me to uninstall and reinstall itunes and ever since then ( January) I have been unsuccessful - AMDS just does not download as part of itunes set up and I cannot download as a separate entity.
I have followed ALL the troubleshooting guides to restart it but cannot do this as the programme is just not there!
After reinstalling itunes for the billionth time I now get this error message -
AMD failed to start- verify you have sufficient privileges to start the system services.
I have downloaded itunes as user and administrator with no luck - HELP!!!!!
Thanks

First uninstall your copy of Itunes--http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/uninstall-itunes/ (make sure you empty crash) Then you go to the applications website and reinstall it. Dont worry about losing any of your music because thats in a separate folder. Thats it---it works.

IPod Shuffle will not install or connect to iTunes!

I recently got a Toshiba laptop so had to transfer everything from my old laptop to there. As expected I re-installed iTunes and install my iPhone 4S, iPod Classic, Touch & Nano all work fine. However, my iPod Shuffle 3rd Gen (the one with no buttons) will not install its driver to my PC or connect to iTunes. I dont have a clue what is wrong as when I plug it in it charges with the light and it plays music thats on it from my old laptop fine! The only onboard button is the 3 way switch (OFF/REPLAY/SHUFFLE).
I give many thanks to any help given!
Thanks,

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

AMDS will not install as part of 10.7 upgrade. have reinstalled many times..even manually. cannot change permissions in windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\usb.inf_amd64_neutral_153b489118ee3 7b8

I have reinstalled Itunes 10.7 many times...each time it comes back and says that it cannot recognize my iphone because AMDS is not installed...yet when I try to install it fails...and asks me to reinstall Itunes again. It seems as though it may be realated to the usb.inf file in usb.inf_amd64_neutral_153b489118ee37b8.
I have seen where others fix the issue by changing permissions on the folder and replacing the file...the file says it is 6kb...but when I open the file...there is nothing there. I cannot even change the permission on the folder...even as an administrator. Please help!!!

I have had this problem with Windows 7 and iTunes updates for some time. Each time it takes hours to solve but with the over the air upgrade to IOS6 on my iPhone and iPad, I was determined to solve and remember what I did, So here it is:

After installing the OS 10.10.3 update iTunes will not open. Re-downloading iTunes and re-installing did not help.

After downloading and installing OS 10.10.3 iTunes will not open. Spotlight does not find it. I have repaired permissions, re-downloaded iTunes, and re-installed it. The problem remains. ITunes appears in the directory of Applications, the update shown in the info in Finder. Double clicking does not open it.

AMDS WILL NOT INSTALL!!! HELP PLEASE

Hi everyone,
Thanks for looking. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
-iTunes 9.0.2
-Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
-2 iPod Touch (Late 2009) v 3.1.2
I am unable to get Apple Mobile Device Support to install on the computer. I have tried downloading the drivers for AMDS from outside websites and unzipping them into the correct folder (C>Program Files x86>Common Files>Apple) but unfortunately even unzipping this to this location does not help because of the fact that I have not merged them into the reg edit. Don't really want to do that because of the risk of dumping the whole computer. I saved the setup64.exe to the desktop and attempted to install as normal, compatibility mode(as Windows Vista w/SP2, as Admin), and in safe boot. None of which will install the AMDS. I have also attempted to install 9.0.1 64-Bit with the same luck. I have spent about 8 hours in all trying to get this work. When I attempted the install as normal the iPods were not recognized, but when I installed in compatibility mode the iPod was recognized as a digital camera in computer and device manager as a USB Mass Storage Device. So I went into Start>Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Auto Play>Choose Take no Action, But the device still shows as a digital camera in computer because of course there is no AMDS. If i go into device manager and right click the device and select update it says the best device drivers are currently installed. Have also put the iPod touch into recovery mode and it will pop the new driver software bubbles in the bottom right but then it displays that the device drivers were not installed correctly and the more details sections advised you that the drivers did not install because AMDS is not currently installed. I think I'm at the end of the road here and thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

Bump...Help Please?

Desktop manager will not install after fresh download

i have downloaded ver 5 desktop manager several times and it is not able to install. I have completely un-uninstalled the previous software and deleted the regristry keys, RIM.
After downloading the new version of software (5.01) off of the BB website and extracting the files, it will ask to install in english and then my issue pops up: a windows installer window pops up, with information and no errors. then the installer closes. the installer closes out and will not continue.
the desktop manager software will not load and i have tried several different downloads, cleaned installs and i even tried ver 4.6.
ideas?

Try using the Windows Installer Cleanup utility to see if it helps out. Can read up on that and other things to try when Windows Installer gives errors from here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555175

AMDS will not install

I have a 32 bit PC with Windows 8.1.
iTunes installed without issue except for the AMDS portion.
I have fully uninstalled all parts (in the order suggested - but obviously skipping AMDS).
Used Revo Uninstaller - advanced mode to delete every last little thing.
Re-booted.
Deleted folders.
Tried to re-install.
Try to unzip and install in parts.
Disabled firewall (ZoneAlarm) and antivirus (AVG) and tried several times
Over and over and over, to no avail. This has been a constant process for 2 full days.
When I open iTunes with my phone plugged in, I get the obvious message software is not installed, uninstall iTunes and reinstall...
The only odd ting... even after a full uninstall of everything, my Services STILL shows Apple Mobile Device (set to automatic).
But I am unable to start it - because the file does not exist.
Does anyone have any additional suggestions or thoughts besides telling me to do a full uninstall again and reinstall - I have followed all of the suggestions that have been provided in these forums already.
Thanks!

I performed a Windows Refresh on my PC (not the most ideal solution, but it worked!!).
After re-updating Windows, I installed iTunes first before any other software - including anti-virus and firewall.
Everything loaded, and it works perfectly (for now).

Itunes 9 will not instal on XP Pro - itunes 7 does work?

I have installed Quick 7 as stand alone, it worked. Then installed itunes 7 and this worked.
downloaded itunes 9 standalone. Installer gets to just after asking for country and then says ' encountered unpected error, install failed, please try later.'.
I have VDScritp lastest. regedit the .dll as per the apple support.
Any ideas?

Apologies about the delay. I've been brooding.
Although we don't know where the specific relevant keys are on modern versions of iTunes, there's a shotgun approach we can take to dealing with them, which has a reasonable chance of success in this case. The complicating factor in your case is that you've got a 64-bit Windows. So there's an extra hoop to jump through.
The basic approach is the procedure from the following weblog entry:
[Solving setup errors by using the SubInACL tool to repair file and registry permissions|http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/solving-setup-err ors-by-using-the-subinacl-tool-to-repair-file-and-registry-permissions.aspx]
The complicating factor is that we have to make an additional edit to the reset.cmd file.
When you're in Notepad, replacing the two YOURUSERNAME values with the name of your Windows 7 user account, in the first line of the batch file, replace the:
%programfiles%
... with:
%ProgramFiles(x86)%
(On a 64-bit Windows system, subinacl is installed in a different location than on 32-bit systems. So unless we make that change, the reset.cmd isn't going to be able to find subinacl and the reset.cmd won't work.)
While you're in Notepad editing the file, make sure each of the nine lines of the file start of a new line. (Sometimes they get smooshed up together on a single line, and then again the reset.cmd won't work.)
I'd strongly suggest setting up a System Restore point immediately prior to running the reset.cmd. There's instructions on that in the following document:

Software update will not allow me to download iTunes 12.0.1

The iTunes version that I already have shows me in "About iTunes" to be version 12.0.0.140, which I don't believe is the same as 12.0.1. Every time I try to download the updated version, all it does is bring out of the download and then runs the current iTunes version mentioned above. I would appreciate very much any help anyone can give me. Thanks for your time.
Oh, by the way, this happened after upgrading to Yosemite on my macbook air running the most updated version of OS X prior to Yosemite.

i can't believe the download iTunes can not shown download links on my Macbook Pro/Yosemite.
can you show show the direct download link to me?

My computer will not install new version of itunes

I have uninstalled the new version and my computer will not install

I suspect there is information you are not providing. I do not think it is possible to uninstall iTunes on a newer Mac running Lion or later. If you truly uninstalled it you must be running an older computer and you may be trying to reinstall a version not compatible with that computer. Alternatively, you did not really uninstall iTunes but did remove some other component that has stopped it from working.
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).

IPod will not update when plugged in iTunes.

My iPod when plugged into iTunes, it says updating but after about 3 seconds it says that it couldn't update because the Compaq_Owner's Playlist had been deleted or no longer exist. I am not really sure what to do. My iPod is completely empty. If anyone could help me out i'd be greatly appreciative. I really need it before Wednesday of next week because I have a ten hours drive and we all know how radid stations can be.
