Apple ID or Apple IDs
When I first created an apple Id it was using a my email address and it would only need this one for all apple ID related sites etc.
Was able to use it for this site that I am on now . But I couldn't use it for downloading my apps on to my iphone or ipad now on mac saying the email address is allready being used , Again had to create another one , however I was able to use one of the IDs for facetime on my mac . I also have a mobile me account which I got for my birthday , now I am told this is my apple id as well ?which APple don't tell you . Why are so many needed when apple originally say you only need one ?
I also have two IDs. One is [email protected] and it has [email protected] as the email address. The other is [email protected] and, you guessed it, it has [email protected] as the email address. I've been unsuccessful at resolving this conundrum.
I'd like to know if you get anywhere. Perhaps it would help me.

Can we stream music and photos from two Apple computers (different Apple IDs) to home theater?
Purchased Apple TV last week; both computers are running most recent versions of iTunes and Apple Aperture. Apple TV connected via HDMI to AV Receiver.
Computers are macbook pro and iMac. Bot running most recent (10.9.1) version of operating system.We discovered that it was easier to keep one iTunes ID in Apple TV and have the second iTunes ID join using Airplay through an iphone or ipad. The switching of user IDs in Apple TVs seemed a bit clunky to us, especially with the awful interface using the Apple TV remote. We did not want to have the second iTunes ID password saved in the Apple TV since several of our kids use that TV, and wanted to prevent large iTunes bills.
Thanks again for the information.
We like the Apple TV. However, we have discovered that the wifi is the Aquilles Hill of this devise. Our ISP offers 50 mbps download speeds from the internet (i tested it using one of the internet speed measuring sites) And the router at home supports 802 g and n proptocols. The transmission of photos from Macbook Pro to Apple TV was incredibly slow. Most likely the problem is caused by having the Apple TV near the floor and next to a fireplace; wireless signal has to travel through a physical firewall. We solved the problem by buying an adaptor that connects to the wall and the router using ethernet cables; signal travels through the electric outlets to another adaptor that is connected from an electric outlet to the Apple TV via ehternet as well. This improved the experience with this devise quite significantly. -
Changing my Apple ID for Apple I-Tunes!
Somehow I changed my Apple I.D. to my Comcast email address. "I feel like an idiot, as I worked in Computers for many years as a VAR. Value Added Reseller, I sold service contracts to client base. But fortunately for me the Service Dept. all I/T employees got a bonus based upon how many Service Contracts I sold to clients. So if I dropped a cigarette into my keyboard or messed up my HP LaserJet. A new one would appear as if by magic!!! I am not an I/T person. But I am currently relearning Apple as my sister downloaded a Virus onto my HP TouchSmart Server. She took down my whole home network and I lost approximately 7000 photographs, which I am currently hopefully downloading from the Cloud. How do I reset my Apple I.D., not the Password the I.D.???
Also if anyone has any tips, I have Apple I-tunes, Apple TV, and I just bought the new Apple I-phone 6, and also the MacBook Pro with Retina Display. If anyone has any great tips please let me know.
I feel like I am an imbecile!
***********@gmail.com or **********@Hotmail.com
<Email Edited by Host>What makes you think you changed your Apple ID? Where are you seeing the one that has the Comcast email address? Are you certain that you never set up an Apple ID with that email address?
The only place (and way) that you can change your Apple ID is via Manage your Apple ID: Apple - My Apple ID
You would need to sign in with your Apple ID and password, answer your Security Questions, and then EDIT the Apple ID to a new address. If you did not go to that site and do those steps, then you probably have two Apple IDs.

Not sure what to do. I've tried a system restore on my computer after the update in hopes of undoing the problem, that didn't work. I've tried to install, the new version of itunes for over two days now and I get to the point where it says "starting services" and it almost get's done and then it gives me that message " Service apple mobile device (apple mobile device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privledges to start system services." Then it gives me three options to click on "abort", "retry" or "ignore". I've tried to retry over and over and it does no good, I just get the same message. I've tried ignore and the one time it did finish installing itunes, it didn't work, I got error messages telling me that it failed to download properly and I needed to delete the program and download it again. I thought maybe it had something to do with my ipod not being pluged into the computer so I pluged that it and it's still giving me the same message. I just don't know what to do. I'm very frustrated and I would really appreciate it if someone could help me. I'm completely out of ideas.

Verify you have sufficient priviledges to start system services. I unistalled itunes completly and reinstalled but am still getting the same error message. If I click "ignore" the program will finish downloading but will not launch due to "not being installed correctly". Please help, I use this program alot with my first grade classroom and they're expecting their listening center in the morning.

Yes another user with problem with Apple Mobile Device Support, I am getting the error message: Service 'Apple Mobile Device'(Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Vertify that you have sufficient privileges to start system service....I hit retry and it came up again. I hit ignore and it prompted me to hit finish so Itunes can open. I looked thru alot of these posts on here to try and resolve this problem myself but it's not working too well...I downloaded Itunes to my desktop so I can right click it with the program i downloaded called WinRAR. I extracted it and then went into the folder called Itunes64setup. I saw the file called AppleMobileDeviceSupport64 in there so I began to try and download it on it's own. Well that didn't work as I planned and got this error message:
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 retry these operations at a later time,please run the installer again.
Well I tried to run it again and came up with the same message...I see that some people got great support to help them so I am hoping someone can help me as well. I know "b nor" is very qualfied and hopefully can help me! Please advise what I can do. Thank youHi Iss9243,

Hello All,
I am having a problem when downloading ITunes on my Dell Inspiron 6400, an error message appears which says Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start systems services. I have uninstalled ITunes and downloaded software to clean the regitry. This did not work, I even went into my local Apple store in Manchester, they downloaded ITunes onto a CD but it still does not work.
I am going on holiday on Wednesday and would like to have my songs on my Iphone before then.
All help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates -
I recently purchased an Iphone 3gs, and already have an itunes account...Itunes wont recognize my iphone...I have uninstalled and installed itunes 2 times and keep getting this error message.
Service ‘Apple Mobile Device’ (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
How do I correct?I had the same problem but managed to fix it with Amy ; the apple advisor. Here are the steps!
First of all, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed. You can download it from here. These instructions will NOT work for iTunes 8, 9 or 10 anymore. If you’re unsure, just uninstall iTunes then re-install with the latest files.
Next, you need to manually copy the Mobile Device Support directory from a working machine to your Windows 7 computer. Luckily, I have conveniently provided these files for you. You can download them here:
64-Bit iTunes 11.0.2: Please click here to download this directory for 64-bit Windows.
32-Bit iTunes 11.0.2: Please click here to download this directory for 32-bit Windows.
Once you download that file, you need to Unzip it to this directory. IMPORTANT: Make sure you unzip the CONTENTS of the zip file, don’t just copy over the zip file:
32-Bit: Unzip to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
64-Bit: Unzip to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple
There are a large number of files in that directory, so it may take a little time, please be patient.
So, after unzipping, you should have a new folder “Mobile Device Support” in the Apple folder
64-BIT ONLY STEP: If you have 32-bit Windows, skip this step. It seems that Apple has put the “Drivers” in a separate location (don’t know why). You will need to download the drivers separately. Please click here to download the files for 64-bit Windows.
Once downloaded, you need to Unzip it to this directory. IMPORTANT: Make sure you unzip the CONTENTS of the zip file, don’t just copy over the zip file:
Unzip to: C:\Program FIles\Common Files\Apple
So, after unzipping, you should have a new folder “Mobile Device Support” in the Apple folder
Next, we have to merge the registry entries that will install the Apple Mobile Device service.
First, download the registry entries that I have provided for you here:
64-bit iTunes 11.0.2: Click here to download the registry entries for 64-bit Windows.
32-bit iTunes 11.0.2: Click here to download the registry entries for 32-bit Windows.
After you download the registry entries ZIP file, unzip it to your desktop and double-click each to install it. Say “Yes” to any prompts or confirmations about adding it to the registry. There are 2 entries, make sure you click BOTH and add BOTH to the registry.
Now, we need to install the correct driver for your iPhone / iTouch. Windows 7 incorrectly identifies the device as a digital camera. To fix this:
- Plug in your iPhone / iTouch (don’t have iTunes loaded at this time)
- Go to Device Manager (Click Start, right-click Computer, then click Properties. In the window that appears choose “Device Manager” on the left)
- Scroll down and find “Apple iPod” or “Apple iPhone” or “Apple iTouch”. It will likely be under the “Portable Devices” category.IMPORTANT NOTE: If your device is already listed under “Universal serial Bus Controllers” and not Portable Devices, you can skip these steps and go to Step 7.
- Right-click the Apple device and choose “Update Driver Software…”
- Choose “Browse my computer for driver software” in the window that appears
- It will ask you for a location; you want to Browse to this folder (location is the same in 32 and 64 bit Windows):
32-bit and 64-bit: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
- Click Next
- It should find the driver for your device; let it install that driver
Once you complete these steps, reboot your computer. Once you reboot everything should work exactly as expected! -
I am the only user for my computer, and consequently the administrator. If I go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services and try to manually start the service, I immediately get the following error message: "Windows could not start the Apple Mobile Device service on Local Computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion." I have tried following the steps advised by others online who also have received this message, but to no avail.
On the Apple error message, I have three options: Abort, Retry, or Ignore. Abort, obviously, causes the installation process to cease. Retry brings up the same message again. Ignore causes the installation to finish, but then I receive this message: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)."Go into Programs and Features
Uninstall:
iTunes
Bonjour*
Apple Software Update
Apple Application Support
Quicktime*
iCloud*
Apple Mobile Device Support
* I didn't have to uninstall Bonjour, iCloud or Quicktime to fix my issue but it won't hurt anything to uninstall them.
Reboot. Download a fresh copy of iTunes. Right click on the exe file and select Run as Administrator if you have the option if not just Run it. Should fix the issue. -
I was getting an update and it would not load so I tried to uninstall and reinstall. Now when it reinstalls it gets to the end and it comes up with the following error message.
Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
This is on my desktop that I have had for a number of years that has had itunes for a number of years. I have an two ipods and an ipad associated with the itunes account. Now I can not get it to go past this message.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.

While downloading the newest iTunes update I received several errors. The latest one being this: "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." These are the steps that I have already taken: un install iTunes (several times), reinstall iTunes (several times), move the .dil files to my desktop (although I have no idea what to do with them now)... I am still getting the same error while trying to download 1. the service error and 2. iTunes failing to open because it isn't properly installed. Can some one PLEASE be so kind as to help me with VERY simple step by step directions. I'm usually more computer savvy than the average user, but I'm feeling computer illiterate at the moment. I've been trying to work though this for 2 days now... sigh. Thank you in advance!

I've done it 6 times the steps you mention to get this thing to work but still it doesn't work for me. I've downloaded iTunes, installed it, and again the same message it's going on Error message received - Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
I've deleted iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update and Bonjour, restart my computer and downloaded again (6 times) and still doesn't work for me. What should I do?I deleted all Apple products you mentioned above (iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update and Bonjour), deleted the prior downloads I had previously tried to install and then emptied my recycle bin. Then I started with a new download of iTunes before the problem was solved for me.
It really ***** that Apple does not give any direct support for its own products.
Good Luck -
I'm trying to re-install itunes on my laptop & I am getting a message that has stopped the re-install & it says: "Service 'Apple Mobile Device" (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." The diaglogue box gives me the options to abort, retry, or ignore; when I tried retry and ignore the re-install process stays stalled & the dialogue box comes back & I don't want to abort & start this all over to probably end up with the same issue; what does this mean & what do I do?

Initially iTunes would not run although it had been running quite well up until now. Suddenly received this error on PC start-up "The program can't start because MSVC80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." Research on Net pointed me to iTunes as the issue. Tried to start iTunes and received that message again. Tried installing latest version of 64-bit iTunes and received the subject message part way through the install: Trying to install latest iTunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Keep getting this error message "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
iTunes has been running great on this PC for years. What's up?

I had problems upgrading iTunes today to the latest version. I have scanned other threads but found no useful resolution to my situation.
iTunes and other Apple products have been removed
Windows 7 64-bit
Memory and Storage with room to spare
Erase utility to eliminate bad files
Re-booted after products removed
Consistent error message
The solution is not obvious to me. I willing to follow any suggestions that would lead to a possible suggestion. I have tweaked my resgistry in the past successfully.

Hi!
So i think i closed the wrong service at some point a few weeks back (apple mobile device) but iTunes remained working after that for another week. I then updated iTunes and i get the same "Service ‘Apple Mobile Device’ (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." every time. If i click ignore, just so i can access iTunes with out syncing my iPod (touch 2nd gen) i then get 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)" when it has all installed. I don't understand what the problem is anymore as I have looked at other questions on the apple website, carried out the advice and it hasn't work. Any of them.
Tings I have done:
- Wiped all iTunes and Apple data from my computer (if you search for 'iTunes' or 'Apple' nothing comes up apart from applets from system code.
- Attached iPod before iTunes install and updated drivers.
- Installed iTunes as 'Run as administrator'
- Uninstalled and re-installed the software nearly 20 times now and rebooted the computer in between everytime.
Please someone help because i really need to get music on my ipod and i enjoy the ease of use of iTunes compared to spotify or Windows Media Player.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 the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
Regarding AMDS failures there is a hint in another thread that disabling the Windows Firewall before attempting to reinstall may help, otherwise take a look at the steps outlined in this post. Re: Can't install iTunes 12.1 on Windows 7 64-bit. I know they look a little daunting, but the process of generating the logs themselves isn't that hard to do. Extracting useful information from them is still a challenge but maybe something will leap out. If you want to post the log for the failed components for me to have a look at here or in the other thread please edit out any personal information, particularly your email address, first.
