Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) won't install with iTunes,either V10.7 or V11. The service can't be started b/c the software is not there. Windows 7 with latest service pack. V11 iTunes installs

Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) won't install with iTunes,either V10.7 or V11. The service can't be started b/c the software is not there. Windows 7 with latest service pack. V11 iTunes installs fine, iPod found, no iPhone 5 b/c no AMDS. Error "insufficient premissions to install AMDS" Tried numerous uninstall / reinstall combinations, installed iTunes as administrator, etc. Somethings not right. What the Heck ?

See the following article for dealing with Apple Mobile Device Services: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
Downloading and installing iTunes will not fix this problem. If the other troubleshooting steps do not work, go to the Control Panel and uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Services, Quicktime and any other Apple program that might be present. Reboot your computer, then download and install the latest version of iTunes.

Apple mobile device USB Driver won't install (Code 37) on my 7th Generation iPod Nano

As a result, iTunes won't detect my iPod. But the iPod will charge when I plug it in to my comp, and there is an iPod folder in "My Computer". But after installing iTunes, it no longer says “connected” on the iPod (even though it still charges it). And, in Device manager, there is a yellow exclamation mark that appears in the DVD/CD-ROM drive directly after installing iTunes – there is also a yellow mark next to “Apple mobile device USB Driver” when my iPod is plugged in. For both, it says “Code 37.” I know how to fix the DVD/CD-ROM drive problem (by deleting the filters) but the Apple driver still won't install after that. I've tried troubling shooting this. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, but it hasn't made a difference. And I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes multiple times, too, and every time I reinstall iTunes the same thing happens: my iPod no longer says “connected on the screen,” and the DVD/CD-ROM drive gets code 37 again. Also, I tried different USB cables/ports.
Any help of suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And I think I've already read a lot of troubleshooting guides on this site, but haven't had any success so far.

Sorry, I'm confused. What do you mean by “leaving all other USB devices disconnected”? Does that include my mouse, keyboard, etc? And does that mean I uninstall those things in the device manager?

FATAL Error... When trying to remove Apple Mobile Device Support (AMDS).

FATAL Error... When trying to remove Apple Mobile Device Support (AMDS) on my windows xp. I tried to update iTunes to update my iPhone software and it told me to uninstall iTunes and AMDS for a newer version. Now I get a fatal error and I can't sync my phone. What should I do?

FATAL Error... When trying to remove Apple Mobile Device Support (AMDS) on my windows xp.
We've made some progress with some of those in recent days, Stop. It looks like (with some of them), the trouble is caused by trouble with the HKEYCURRENTUSER registry keys associated with your usual XP user account.
If that's what is afoot, the following technique may be of some assistance.
Head into your User Accounts control panel and create a new user account with full administrative rights. Log out of your normal account and log into the new account. (Don't use fast user switching to move between accounts.)
Inside the new account, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, and attempt to uninstall AMDS from there.
Does the uninstall go through without the fatal error in the new user account?
If so, *staying in the new user account,* do a complete uninstall of iTunes and related componentry as per:
[Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925]
(You'll need, in particular, to do the reinstall of iTunes from inside the new account. Experience of the last two cases of this indicates that if you try the reinstall from inside the usual user account, AMDS just silently fails to install.)
If everything seems to have reinstalled correctly, log out of the new account, and log back into your usual account. Try launching iTunes in your usual account. Does it launch properly in there now?

'itunes requires a new version of apple mobile device support please uninstall both apple mobile device support nd intunes then install itunes again'

im trying to sync music from itunes to my iphone from the computer and everytime i go to plug it in a box comes up and says 'itunes requires a new version of apple mobile device support. please unistall both apple mobile device support and intunes. then install itunes again' i have tried installing itunes many times but this keeps popping up. i dont know what i need to do or what im doing wrong??

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.)

How can i install apple mobile devices as a stand alone install.

I have installed itunes a number of times but apple mobile devices won't install. What can i do?????

The Apple TV is the only device I've been able to find at this point that can handle video via AirPlay. So unless someone else knows of a device I haven't been able to find, you'll either need to get an Apple TV or, as Andreas suggested, connect to the projector via an adapter and cable.
Regards.

Itunes/Bonjour/Apple Mobile Device won't Install even though I'm the Administrator

Since late February I have been unable to reinstall ITunes. It all started when I tried to update it, and it wouldn't work. Ultimately I uninstalled ITunes and tried to reinstall it, but I kept getting this message that the Apple Mobile Device could not be installed(?), and that I have to verify that I have sufficient privileges to install.
Since then I have:
Ran as the administrator
Made sure that 'everybody', 'my user' and the 'administrator' (pretty much just me) have full access
Turned the User Account Control off
Cleaned up the registry using CCleaner
Used Command Prompt to check the C drive?
Used the SubInACL tool to repair any file and registry permissions (from here)
Nothing worked. I also went to the ITunes music folder, made myself the administrator, and it still wouldn't work. Recently I uninstalled Quicktime, Bonjour, and the Apple Mobile Device, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support....everything Apple. Still couldn't install Itunes. In fact, now I can't install Bonjour or AMD.
When I tried to install Bonjour, I got the message:
"Service 'Bonjour Service' (Bonjour Service) could not be installed. Verify you have sufficient privileges to install system services.". If I hit 'ignore', then it'll just do the same thing except replace 'Bonjour' with 'Apple Mobile Device'.
I'm at a lost.
I have a Hewlett-Packard laptop
HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC.
64-bit operating system.
Windows 7 Home Premium
Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
Processor: AMD A4-3305M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics, 1900 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Locations
Installed physical memory (RAM) = 6 GB
Total physical memory = 5.48 GB
Available physical memory = 1.98 GB
Total virtual memory = 11 GB
Available virtual memory = 7.39 GB
BIOS Version/Date = Hewlett-Packard F.49, 12/25/2012

Hopefully, that's enough info. Any help will greatly be appreciated.

Hey mrsslick,
This section contains information that might help your situation if you're using Windows XP:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
Quit the following programs if they're running:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Choose Start > Control Panel.
In Control Panel, open "Add or Remove Programs."
Select iTunes from the list of currently installed programs and click Remove.
When asked if you would like to remove iTunes, select Yes.
After the uninstallation is complete, don't restart your computer if you're prompted.
If other program entries were listed for iTunes in Add or Remove Programs, remove those as well by repeating steps 4-6.
Remove all instances of these applications by repeating steps 4-6:
iPod Updater
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Restart your computer.
You should be able to remove Apple Mobile Device Support by following those steps above. The article you came from however is for Windows XP - if you're using Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8, follow the directions in here:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
The steps in "Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel" and "To remove these components, follow these steps" are the most pertinent.

ITunes 10.2 Upgrade fix temporary. Fix to iTunes 10.2.2 by uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support and install AMDS from 10.0. Worked only to fail in 5 days. iTunes back to very slow to open and will not see device (iPhone) connected. Sorry

I was one this site for 20+ Days and found a fix for 10.2.1 when it failed. I Uninstalled all, following other attempts that failed, then installed latest Version from Apple iTunes 10.2.12. I then uninstalled Apple Mobile Device Support (AMDS) and installed AMDS from the older 10.0 version of iTunes. Success it worked. Today, I am now back to old problem, iTnes takes very long time to open and fails to see my device when connected (iPhone). I really only have iTunes for my iPhone no extensive library a few hundred CD's in music location and no podcasts. I have less than 6 moveis and want to update them now. I am willing to lose all in iTunes library if need be just to get computer to see G3 iPhone with iOS 4.2 and let me synch once again. I like security of backup too. It older iTunes may now not support, that too is OK. I still want to get the 3GS (no 4G desires, yet) and do not care if any of it is the latest from Apple as long as it works.

Hi Erik,
Your basic suggestion actually worked for me. But this is what I did for others who are having issues removing/installing etc.
1. Download the latest iTunes 8.2. You should end up with a file iTunesSetup.
2. If you dont already have WinRAR, download free copy from http://www.rarlab.com/ and install.
3. Right click on iTunesSetup and choose "Extract" to somewhere you know. eg C:\itunetemp
4. Open up folder where you extracted iTunesSetup and double-click applemobiledevicesupport.msi
5. It should ask you if you want to repair or remove... choose remove.
6. REBOOT your PC.
7. Go back to where you extracted iTunesSetup and double-click applemobiledevicesupport.msi and go through the install.
8. Plug in your iPhone.
If all is well iTunes should automatically start and start syncing your iPhone.
Goodluck all!
Cheers.

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?

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:

ITunes 9.2 Apple Mobile Device won't start.

a few days ago i updated my itunes to the latest version (9.2) but since then its impossible to sync my iPod touch 2g. every time i start itunes and connect the ipod to the pc, a message pops up saying that Apple Mobile Device hasn't started.
i searched in forums for a solution, i tried starting it manually but then a message pops up saying that it started but then stopped again because some services close immediately when they have nothing to do.
i tried reinstalling everything.. didn't work, i tried repairing AMD from control panel also, same problem. always that message that it hasn't started and in services it says that it closed again.
i don't know what to do... please help me!

I am experiencing exactly the same issue too. Vista-64 bit O/S. Uninstalled-reinstalled iTunes 9.2 numerous times. Still getting the same error in the event logs:
Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\AppleSyncMapiInterfaceHelper_x64.exe". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.CRT,processorArchitecture="amd64",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e 3b",type="win32",version="8.0.50727.4053" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.
Another error that seems to be related is:
Faulting application AppleMobileDeviceService.exe, version 17.58.0.21, time stamp 0x4c0ed767, faulting module RPCRT4.dll, version 6.0.6002.18024, time stamp 0x49f05beb, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00017a46, process id 0x184c, application start time 0x01cb2ae2765b428f.
As a result "Apple Mobile Device" can't start and I can't connect the iPad.

TS1538 What do I do after step 6 in "If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed"?

i'm very confused about step 5, "Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed" > "If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed", what do I do after step 6? I looked for and found the entry that recognizes the device as a camera, "Apple iPhone, now what? I'm trying to resolve an issue. After an iTunes upgrade in July 2012, I have not been able to get my iTunes to recognize any of my devices. I have uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, all the steps. Now I'm on this one and I don't know what to do after this step 6. I looked and found the entry.... now what??? I am out of room on my phone because everything I buy on iTunes on the computer mysteriously appears on my iPhone 4, and everything I buy on my iPhone mysteriously uploads onto my iTunes the next time I open it. My phone will charge when connected to the computer, and Windows recognizes it and asks how I want to open pictures, etc. But in iTunes it will not show up under Devices. This is getting beyond ridiculous and I have to get some of this music off of my phone!

Found a possible solution for me.
While the phone was plugged into my computer and iTunes is CLOSED.
1. I went to Services in Windows.
2. I selected Apple Mobile Device and right clicked and selected "Stop".
3. Then I right-clicked again and selected "Start".
4. Then I went to Device Manager and right clicked my iPhone with the yellow alert icon and selected "Uninstall". You will get a warning about uninstalling the device. Click OK.
5. At the top of Device Manager I clicked the Action menu and selected "Scan for Hardware Changes".
This re-installed the iPhone and everything started working again.

After updating to iTunes 12 the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed, I use Windows 8.1, how can i solve this?

After I updates ITunes to the latest version (12), ITunes wont find my iphone and Ipad anymore, after searching I found that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed anymore, on the support website of Apple it doesnt explain how to solve this,.
I use Windows 8.1 and so now also ITunes 12, both my Iphone 4S and Ipad Air have the latest IOS version.
I hope anybody can tell me how to solve this that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is back, thank you
