Apple Mobile Device Support will no uninstall

So i finally got my iTunes installed correctly.
I went to plug in my iPod and it said Apple Mobile Service Support needs to be updated.
iTunes uninstalled without any problems.
When i try and uninstall Mobile Device Support, When it gets to 0 seconds remaining the green loading bar backs all the way up and then the uninstalling window goes away.

You could try downloading and installing 7-Zip (free) and downloading a fresh copy of the iTunesSetup.exe installer, unpack the installer into its components using 7-Zip then try installing AppleApplicationSupport again. It may still fail to install but you may get more useful error messages as to why not.

  • "Apple Mobile Device Support" will NOT uninstall from my computer, so I am still unable to upload iTunes

    "Apple Mobile Device Support" will NOT uninstall from my computer so I am still unable to upload iTunes.  I have tried it multiple times in multiple ways and after the uninstall always fails.  Solutions to this specific problem?

    I don't know... A link to the official repair advice is given at the top of my user tip. There was a new build of the iTunes 11.1.4.62 setup file released yesterday which is supposed to install cleanly on any system still back on iTunes 11.1.3.8, however they are still giving the same advice for problem systems that have already been upgraded. I.e. the new installer won't repair a currently borked install.
    You can download 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and unpack the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file into its components, then try installing them individually in alphabetical order (don't try to install SetupAdmin.exe or iCloud.msi). AMDS might not install right now, but you may get a more useful error message as to why not, and you might be able to run iTunes even if you can't update your devices at this stage.

    I cannot install the latest version of iTunes as it instructed me to uninstall the version I had, which I did, but the "Apple mobile device support" will not uninstall.  This has left me with no iTunes and the new version will not install until I can uninstall all the old components.  Help please

  • Apple Mobile Device Support will not install! Any answers re rollback issue?

    Hi,
    Im running Windows 32bit and trying to install the latest Itunes version 10.5.1.42 after a few attempts i have managed to install all of it apart form Application Modbile Device Support (AMDS), therefore meaning that i can not sync with my new Iphone.
    Essentialy when it gets to installing AMDS it rolbacks. It can create the folders ok and but does not copy any drivers into the folders. All the other Apple folders in common files directory are ok and populated and work. I tunes work - just doesnt let me connect my phone as AMDS is empty.
    I have noticed a few threads regarding this issue over the years and tried lots of the suggestions:
    completely uninstalling Itunes and all traces of associated apple products. Manually removing residual files. Done this lots and lots of times, Itunes etc will install,  AMDS will not
    checked various permissions
    Ensured Windows updates are all up to date
    Removed other mobile phone software
    changed msconfig settings
    Im just going around in circles now. I cant bear the thought of running thorugh another uninstall of Itunes and ten watching it install again only to see the roll back bar appear and reverse!
    Any idea people?

    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 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 one component, such as Apple Mobile Device Support, won't install normally.
    In your case I suggest you start with a clean download of the setup file using the direct link. If reinstalling AMDS alone doesn't work try tearing everything down again.
    If that fails try the advice on rolling back to the last build of iTunes that worked for you.

  • 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.

  • Uninstall msg - receiving msg when I attach iPhone to computer, with iTunes open. "iTunes requires a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. Please uninstall both Apple Mobile Device Support

    I don't know how to uninstall, then reinstall. Is this to be done on my computer or my phone? seems strange that there isn't just an update.  If I "uninstall", does this lose what I have in iTunes? (I assume not, but have to ask.) This iTunes account is shared by three people in my household. Do they have to do something too?   If you can help, please let me know. Thanks.

    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.)

  • Itunes says "Itunes requires a new version of Apple Mobile Device Support . Please uninstall both Apple mobile device support and Itunes, then install Itunes again." I have did this and Itunes still continues to say this multiple times. Please help me!

    Try removing and reinstalling all the Apple software by:
