Apple Mobile Device doesnt install

When i installed itunes 10, apple mobile device did not install... i uninstaled everything and reinstalled it but it still doesnt work.. anyone has any ideas on how to get apple mobile device?

I have also encountered this.  Though for me it is progress. Previously I couldn't even get iTunes 10.6 to install. It has finally done that after some assistance from Apple phone support. I apparenlty had to uninstall all Apple "stuff" in a particular sequence and essentially remove any and all security and access limitations for my entire PC and run as admin for it to install properly. But now AMDS will not install.  I extracted the install files and tried to run the .msi alone and I got an error saying "Could not open key: whole bunch of stuff". Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.  Thing is I am administrator on my system (as I assume most are) so why is it locked out? I have no idea.  When I right click/properties on the .msi to see this key under the security tab I see several "Account Unknown" keys (I assume these are the problem) along with my user account and the administrator acct.  I have no idea where these came from but on each of the Unknown ones there is a red ? beside the user icon.  And checking permissions for all of them they all have full control available so I'm at a loss as to what is blocking me.  And these broken/unknown accounts that Apple seems to have a problem with are not actually user accts on my system.
When chatting with the Apple tech he said there is an issue with the 64bit version of Windows 7 and iTunes 10.6.
Now 10.6 has been out for a while so why hasn't it been hotfixed or updated to make these things go away?
I don't know how to get around this.  While trying to get iTunes to install I was trying previous versions that I used to have installed before 10.6 and I think 9.7 or something installed (would not run) and AMDS installed without issue.  I may download that again and try to install that version of AMDS and see if it gives me less grief

  • Apple mobile device support install/uninstall sets my wireless to limited access

    Dell Pavilion dv7
    Windows 7 64 bit.
    Current itunes 10.4
    When installing itunes 10.5, my wireless connection changed to limited access.  I can not connect to the internet with wireless.  If I put my ethernet cable in, i can connect to the internet through the ethernet cable.
    I found no solutions to fix the limited access issue.  So, i had to restore my system.  After the restore my wireless connection could connect to the internet again.
    But now itunes does not work.  One of two messages come up.  The latest (i have done several system restores).  Either quicktime was not found or something about iTunes Library.itl is out of synch with the current version of itunes.
    Now i decide to uninstall all the itunes installed products one at a time.  Itunes, quicktime, Apple software update, Apple mobile device support and there it goes, my wireless connection changes to limited access again.
    Any help would be great.

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Why won't Apple Mobile Device Support install with itunes setup??

    Why won't Apple Mobile Device Support install with itunes setup?? I keep trying to reinstall, and installs everything but Apple Mobile Device Support. How come. will someone please help me?? I updated windows, and thoroughly removed everything before i reinstalled itunes. I don't know why it's Apple Mobile Device Support isn't going on there. HELP! Is there anyway i can just download and install Apple Mobile Device Support by itself???!

    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.
    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 a component such as Apple Mobile Device Support won't install normally.

  • Insufficient Priviliages on Apple Mobile Devices to install itunes

    I try to install itunes on my brand new computer but so far it has given me error 7 and said it fails to install Apple mobile devices because insufficient privilages. Can someone tell me what i can do to fix this?
    Cheers

    Hi,
    Hmm ok for me on iphone 1st click on post link does nothing but underline it, 2nd click then opens it - annoying but it works.
    On ipad, no amoint of clicking opens the link but if you keep your finger on the link and wait for the popup and then click open it does go in.
    So both are usable - just not that friendly.
    Maybe next iOS version will update safari and fix this. Closing question for now.
    Cheers,
    Harry

  • No Apple Mobile Device when installing

    Help !!!!  I have installed and uninstalled iTunes about 8 times, rebooted after each one and i still can not get the Apple Mobile Device onto my computer?  I have Windows 8 64-bit.  Is there some where i can go to get this to work properly?  I have checked the services in Admin tools and there is nothing sitting there.  I have also checked with my Norton security to see if it is sitting in there and nothing?  Can anyone help before i throw my computer out the window???  Thanks.

    I have looked at this article, and followed their instructions for uninstalling itunes and its related components. I wasn't able to delete Bonjour a related conpoment of itunes and got the following message, There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact you rsupport personnel or package vendor. So I am not able to finish the instructions. So far I've used the following website to download Apple Mobile Device Support and follow the instructions there to get it back.

  • My ipods stuck in recovery mode. Says error 9 when it tries to restore. I've used many different USB cords, and different computers. I've also downloaded itunes many times. And apple mobile device is installed. Please help me out.

    I dont know what to do.

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes.  This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
    Since it appears you have done everything else, disable the security software on the computer.

  • Apple Mobile Device Support uninstall and itunes install causes loss of internet connection

    Whenever I uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support (AMDS)  I lose my internet connection. The only way to fix this is to restore Windows to a previous state. I've tried  troubleshooting my internet connection when this happens but Windows tells me something is wrong with both my wired and wireless connection drivers... and of course I need the internet to fix said drivers :s
    I've tried repairing AMDS and this doesn't help either.
    I've been trying to download itunes but it tells me a program needed to install it cannot be run. After this I can't get back on the internet without first restoring windows to a previous state. I thought that uninstalling everything apple from my system would do the trick but I can't seem to uninstall AMDS without messing up my internet drivers. What else can I try?

  • Apple Mobile Device Support Will NOT Install - Win 8 OS

    I uninstalled EVERYTHING Apple...all folders, all apple software. I went through my computer and everything was removed. I did not go through the registry and remove anything so that may be where the problem is.
    I looked in programs and features and there is no "Apple Mobile Device Support" installed.
    It's as if it will not install, no matter what I do.
    I think it may be a registry issue in Win 8 but not sure.
    I have looked all over for a solution but to no avail. I uninstalled everything, reinstalled iTunes, I even tried to installed the .exe specifically for Apple Mobile Device Support and it rolled back, refusing to install it.  I have tried updating drivers. My iPhone does show up in Task manager as well.
    Under device manager, my iPhone
    I follwed this >link< and did exactly what it said to do but still didn't work.
    I have a feeling there is no solution to this one. Any other suggestions?   Is there a way to remove more apple software including in the registry?
    I appreciate any feedback.  If anybody else has had this issue and have a proven method to resolve it, PLEASE share. 
    Thanks again!

    I have the same problem with Win7. Did uninstall so many times now I can do it in my sleep. I did one thing which seemed to work for a while. After I uninstalled itunes 11, I reinstalled the earlier version. That brought back the Apple Mobile Device Support feature. Then I updated itunes to the latest version. Then I get the same message about amds not the latest version and uninstall itunes etc...(evern though when I check amds IS the latest version). It's a merry go round. Can't sync my iphone 4s or iPad 3. I finally got rid of itunes 11.1.1. Guess I just have to sit back and wait for a while until the new version comes out or until someone figures out a solution.

  • Apple Mobile Device Support failed to install

    I just downloaded the latest version of iTunes, however, the Apple Mobile Device Support program will not download. I have removed iTunes and re-installed it numerous times. When I plug my phone or iTouch in to my computer, it does not recognize it and tells me to uninstall and re-install the 64bit version. I have with no success. I am running Windows 7. I have followed all the advice I could find on the Apple Support site. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  • My iTunes installation via Windows 7 does not install the Apple Mobile Device Support file

    I have followed several suggestions to resolve the problem caused because of my update of iTunes does not install the Apple Mobile Device Support folder, thus making it impossible for me to sync my iPhone 4S to my desktop version of iTunes. I have tried to install the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi file and it almost completes the installation before "rolling back" the entire process and giving me a message that there was a problem with the installation. Has anyone been able to solve this problem. I use Windows 7. I have seem some :"solutions" that seem to work for some people, but not for me, and evidently not for many others? Finally, would it matter if I installed Safari on my desktop and tried to install iTunes using Safari?

  • Why does AMDS (apple mobile device support) not install?

    I run iTunes on a new (3 months old) Windows 7 PC using version 10.6 (64-bit) of iTunes.  I have been using iTunes for many years (or various machines) without any problems.  Recently iTunes stopped working correctly.... I got numerous error messages when loading the software, and could not sync any of my devices.  I went through every tutorial/help/troubleshooting I could find and nothing worked.  I had to restort to the "last resort" option of completely removing iTunes (which I did by carefully following all of the steps in the Apple Support) and reinstall iTunes.  After reinstalling and pluggin my iPhone or iPod Touch I get a message saying, "This iPhone/iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed.  Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes." 
    Again, I went through every tutorial/help/support/troubleshooting option and discovered that AMDS (apple mobile device support) is missing.  None of the support articles addresses this issue (only how to turn it on, locate files on your computer, etc.) but I tried them all anyway.  Nothing worked.  I removed an reinstalled iTunes 3 more times.  No change.  AMDS is still not there.  It does not even exist on my system anywhere.  It doesn't seem to be downloading at all.  I contacted customer support and was just given links to all of the troubleshooting articles I had already tried. 
    I have spent many hours on this and I'm getting no where.  Please help!
