Apple Mobile Device Helper Failed????!!!???

I tried downloading the new itunes and the new software for 2.0 and downloaded both fine but now every time i start itunes i get a message saying apple mobile device helper has failed and it will not sync or recover my phone, my phone was bricked til i recovered it on my old computer, now it seems to be working ok, but i dont have any new software. Also my new computer can not run itunes because everytime i do run it i get a message saying the helper has failed every 20 seconds or so, i want to update everything on the new computer (with vista home premium if that matters)but dont want my phone to brick again, any suggestions? already tried reinstalling itunes, and i can get the message to stop if i uninstall the apple mobile device helper but then my phone will not sync, also i have the original 8gig if that matters, thanks in advance for any help

You can go to "C" drive, Program Files, Common Files, Apple, Mobile Device Support, Bin and remove AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe file -- that will stop that message from poping up.

  • Help!!! iTunes install error "Apple Mobile Device Service Failed To Start". Error 7 (Windows Error 193)

    Help! Following a standard upgrade I got the error message "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows Error 193).
    I am running Windows 7 and installing again brings the message "Apple Mobile Device Service failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services"
    I have uninstalled everything Apple, deleted all related folders and run as administrator numerous times with no luck.
    I had hoped that iTunes 12.1.2 would resolve the issue, unfortunately it failed to do so leaving me iTunes free which is driving me mad!
    Can anyone advise what else I can do to resolve the error and bring back iTunes?
    Thanks

  • Error when doing new download.  Says "Apple Mobile Device Service" failed to start.  I cannot get past this.  HELP!

    Went to install new iTunes download.  Now get an error when trying to do this.  I uninstalled iTunes completely and now is see "apple mobile device service" failed to start.  I now cannot get iTunes back on my PC.  HELP!!

    For those who updated iTunes and displaying the error "Windows error 193 or similar," a way to still use the iTunes download the 11.1.3.8 version of iTunes and install. Before installing something must be done:
    * Step 1 - Uninstall the following programs:
    1) Apple Software Update
    2) Bonjour
    3) iTunes.
    Step 2 - Install version iTunes 11.1.3.8
    If it shows the error "iTunes Library.itl" the solution is simple. Only delete the file in the C: \ Users \ Name \ Music \ iTunes called iTunes Library.itl.
    Note: When you open the older version will ask if you want to update. Do not upgrade because it will give the same error in the update.
    It is the hint. Could not say it is a solution, but a way to take advantage of the program for a while and wait for an Apple solution. Sincerely Ricardo.
    Download version iTunes 11.1.3.8 >>> version x64 (windows 64 bits) https://mega.co.nz/#!QklXGJLA!w58yHjvgYZfFy_rnGCUu4Nh6If-m4AE8OQpi2Xw5RwQ

  • Dell 64 bit pc . Tried updating to latest version.  Error message says Apple mobile device service failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services.  What does that mean?

    I have a dell 64 bit pc and had an older version of ITunes installed.  When I tried to install the 12--- version, the install stopped with the message, "Apple Mobile Device Services failed to start, verify that you have sufficient privileges to start systems services".   I have no clue what that means.  can anyone help.  ????

    Hi doywks,
    The Apple Mobile Device is a component of iTunes that communicates between your computer and your iPhone or iOS device.  The error message you are seeing "verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services" has to do with the Windows operating system.  It's possible that you are not logged in as the administrator for your Windows PC.  Or, you may have antivirus software stopping the Apple Mobile Device from running.  
    If you are having issues updating iTunes on your PC, follow the steps in the article below.

  • HT1926 Installation fails because Apple Mobile Device Service failed to start?

    When  I attempted to update ITunes, it failed at the starting services point because "Apple Mobile Device Service failed to start".  The ignore button would not work.  Retry did not fix it.  I have deleted all ITunes from my computer, restarted, and attempted a new install.  Same problem.  Help.

    The frequently suggested repair steps listed in comments at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926 did not work for me yesterday when I attempted for an entire day to fix this commonly reported problem with the newest iTunes update. I now realize that I overlooked one step listed in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
    My computer has a Windows 64 bit operating system. I should have  paid attention to this instruction:
    "If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, you'll need to confirm that the following folders have been removed:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Bonjour
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iPod\  "
    Tonight, I removed those previous version files from the Program Files (x86) directory and executed the rest of the steps listed. Success resulted. If you are struggling like I did to install the iTunes newest update on a Windows 64 bit operating system, you might benefit to recheck that you followed the instruction listed above.

  • PLEASE HELP!!! My 'Apple mobile device helper has stopped working'!

    Today i bought the new 3G iPhone so i went online to download the new 7.7 iTunes software. Now when i go into my iTunes a Windows pop up appears telling me that my 'Apple mobile device helper has stopped working' and that it is diagnosing the problem. The thing is that it doesn't diagnose the problem, the same box just keeps popping up over and over again.
    I am not very computer literate and have tried everything that i can think of but nothing has worked.
    Please can someone help because i'm absolutely dying to use my new iPhone; i queued up from 6 am to get my hands on it! :0(

    I'm just a simple user. I don't know how to fix it any more than any of the other posters with this problem. I've looked around in control panel, done some poking and prodding with services and processes, and can't find a reasonable way to stop the messages without completely hosing up iTunes. I know the messages are annoying as ****, and nobody likes the idea, but sitting around and doing nothing is sometimes a whole lot better then doing something that makes it worse. See if you can find a document from Apple that tells you how to go back to the previous version of iTunes. I've seen that course of action mentioned several times for previous releases of iTunes upgrades, so the instructions for it must exist in another forum.
    I just think, from the number of posts, that Apple is going to have to get a fix out pretty quickly, because this error pretty much shuts down their products on the Windows platform. They can't afford to let it go on for very long.

  • Apple Mobile Device Service failed to start which eventually leads to windows error 193 which never goes away no matter what I do  and the dreaded

    Mid way through download of I-Tunes after clearing every Apple program from my computer I get "Apple Mobile Device Service" failed to start message.  Eventually leading to Windows error 193 (error 7).  How do I get Apple Mobile Device Service to start so I do not get error messages and failure of I-Tunes to install?

    If you have a 64-bit machine, then try the "for older video cards" version...

  • Apple mobile device service failed to start

    After months finally let itunes auto update its self. this didn't work due to the next error:
    Service 'Apple Mobile Device Service' (Apple Mobile Device Service) failed to stat. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
    Than i deleted all appele software from my windows 7 desktop and download the latest version form the appel site.
    When installing this had the same message. after pressing ignore the installation continues and itunes tries to launch.
    Now a message appears reading: Itunes was not installed correclty. Please reinstall. Apple error 7 and windows error 193
    Last i tried to install the apple mobile device service separately but this also didn't help

    You seem to have installED iTunes and are trying to connect your iDevice, is that right?

  • Itunes won't install correctly in PC...Apple Mobile Device Service failed to start

    I have recently been getting messages that ITunes was installed incorrectly. I've followed all the recommend procedures and it still does not work. I'm also getting a message that the Apple Mobile Device Service failed to start. Also, when I plug in my Iphone to the computer, it downloaded the correct device driver but failed to recognize the Iphone so that I cannot transfer my photos to the PC. Do you have any advice?

    The error message I'm getting is #7, Windows #193. I have 64bit.
