Apple mobile device won't restart and it says that I don't have sufficient privileges to start the service.

I recently brought an iPad 2 but it wouldn't connect to iTunes on my PC so I followed the help on here and uninstalled iTunes. But when I tried to reinstall it, it says that the Apple mobile device doesn't have enough suffient privileges. I've also tried to restart the Apple mobile device, but it comes with error 1053, saying that the service didn't respond in a timely fashion.
I am at a loss as to what to do, since I all of my music is on iTunes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • HT1923 i couldn't open itunes so it suggested i uninstall and reinstall. when i go to reinstall a message comes up that i don't have sufficient privileges to start system services.

    i found that i couldn't open itunes on my home computer so the website suggested i uninstall and reinstall the program. i uninstalled it then tried to reinstall and an error box comes up that says to verify i have sufficient privileges to start system services. I'm not sure what this means or how to fix it so i can finish the installation process.

    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.

  • When I watch a YouTube video it won't expand and it says that I don't have h.264 installed, but when I watch it on Chrome it works. How do I fix this?

    I wanted to try the new YouTube HTML5 video player, but when I try to expand a video to like 480p or higher, it just stays the same size and the button won't work. I've installed the DivX codex and after that I thought it would work. To be honest, I didn't try it before installing the codec on Chrome, now that I installed it, it does work. I"m horrible with explaining things, so I hope this is fairly clear. Thanks :D

    It is actually a ipod classic.

  • Tried to download and reinstall iTunes after file corrupted. Download proceeds, but does not complete. Message states "Apple mobile device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."

    My iTunes became corrupted. I tried to upgrade to a new version, but things only got worse. Some of the error messages I received:
    APSDaemon - Unable to locate component
    This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dl was not found. Rinstalling the application may fix this problem.
    So, I deleted my downloads and past attempts and any .dl files I had and tried again. Now I get this message:
    Today:  Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Make sure you have sufficient privileges to start system services.

    When I was trying to install the update to itunes I would get the following message "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.  I could "Abort" "Retry" or "Ignore"  I tried all of them starting with retry first.  Nothing worked.  I then uninstalled Itunes and tried to reinstall and received the same message.  Not sure how to take care of it so that I can use Itunes again.

  • Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)

    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.
