Doesn't install Apple mobile device when I install new version

I Don't know what to do i've tried at least 20 times uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and when it gets to the apple mobile device it does a rolling back action. and it wont install. Has anyone else have this problem?

Not my favorite error to try to troubleshoot.
Just to get it off the table (it's rare but known), we'd better first try an sfc /scannow to check to see if there's any damage to the usb componentry in your operating system. There's instructions in the following document:
[How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833]
If the scannow can't repair some files, could you let us know what they're called? (Precise spelling, please.)

  • Apple Mobile Device Suppurt not installing with iTunes 10.6.3

    Hey guys, any help with this would be much appreciated., I had an issue a couple of days ago where I couldn't reinstall the latest itunes (10.6.3) I have now managed to install this current version but with one major problem, Apple Mobile Device Support didn't install with it. I tried everything, I've tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling it again with and without the anti virus turned on, I've tried a system restore, I've tried using an old version of Apple Mobile Device Support, and still nothing.
    My itunes keeps saying this whenever I plug in my iPad, "This iPad cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes, then install the 64bit version of itunes" I've done that, it didn't work, however, itunes has managed to install successfully on my desktop pc, which is Windows XP, with apple mobile device support, but the machine I'm having trouble installing itunes with Apple Mobile Device Support on is my Laptop which is running Windows 7. I doubt this is a problem with my laptop, the system restore I did confirmed that, and the issue only returned when I tried reinstalling the latest itunes. 
    Is this problem with Apple Mobile Device Support not installing with the latest itunes a bug? i hope so, because I've  read up ways to solve this problem but alot of it gets too technical and I'm not the most technical person when it comes to computers and all that.
    Is anyone else having similar problems, if so, how did you solve it?
    Thanks, hoping to hear back soon

    I've also read somewhere about using Win Rar to extract files to do with apple mobile device support from the itunes installer file, would you recommend that to? I don't really fancy the idea of doing anything that involves my registry because knowing me I'll end up screwing my laptop up for good lol
    It's a little more involved than just doing a standalone AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi install, I'm afraid. The relevant drivers in AMDS are not digitally signed for 64-bit XP, so you have to force XP to accept a driver install that it would try its damnedest to not do. There's no driver issues for other 64-bit componentry in the installer package (I think the GEAR drivers install on XP 64-bit systems), but I believe there's still a bit of fancy footwork involved in getting them installed too ... although it's been a long time since I've looked at an instruction set, and I might not be recalling those things correctly. (So if you're not comfortable with system modifications, it might be best to steer clear of the Orca-based techniques ...)

  • Hello after updating to the new iTunes i got a box saying that i needed a new version of Apple Mobile Device Support and ihat i should uninstall iTunes and Apple Mobile Device Support then install iTunes again.  I have been unable to uninstall itunes

    Hello- after updating to the new iTunes i got a box saying that i needed a new version of Apple Mobile Device Support and ihat i should uninstall iTunes and Apple Mobile Device Support then install iTunes again.  Problem is I have been unable to uninstall itunes, can't find the installation files .msi.  I'm using Windows XP. 
    Help!

    Problem is I have been unable to uninstall itunes, can't find the installation files .msi.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Apple Mobile Device Support not installing on 7 x64

    Ok. I installed the latest iTunes, but for some reason it keeps failing to install Apple Mobile Device Support. I am on Windows 7 x64. Any suggestions? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, uninstalling every bit of Apple software from my computer, and uninstalling and reinstalling the iPods drivers.

    I have this same question.  I have been working on this for hours.  Apple Mobile Device Support no longer appears in my program file so I cannot repair or uninstall it when I do a complete uninstall and reinstall.  I have even extracted the Apple Mobile Device Support file from the iTunes .exe and it still won't install. 
    I have made sure that Windows Installer service is running.  I have turned off my security program.  I tried to use an old Apple Mobile Device Support file but iTunes rejects it.  It does appear under services though and is running.
    Any suggestions?

  • Cant install apple mobile device windows7

    Hi everybody,
    I have a problem with my itunes. First it started with not recognizing my iphone.
    So I looked up how to solve this problem. So I uninstalled everything like it was described on apple support.
    Well, what happened next?
    I tunes was installed "succesfully" but then when I put the iphone on usb it said, you installed the wrong version of itunes, install the version for 64 bla bla
    kind of confused, I reinstalled it again and tried it again and again...
    Then I read somewhere that maybe I should turn off my antivir program, I did. No change.
    So I had some problems with my windows 7 while installing some silly updates..
    Oh, and the last time I tried to install itunes, it stopped to install and said,
    apple mobile device cant be installed bla bla, then itunes stops to install and thats it.
    So,
    I hope somebody experienced the same problem and can tell me how to solve it?
    Because now I m thinking of getting out of this apple circle, because this costed me hours and hours of my
    precious time. :-)
    And please dont tell me to uninstall itunes, because at the moment I just cant install it anymore !
    Thank you in advance for your help,
    sincerely,
    desperate
    Diana

    okay, I tried it again, and made a screenshot,
    so, I would have the option to use the button ignore, but then its not going to recognize my iphone.Its in German, but it says that apple mobile device can t be started. and I should figure out if I have the rights to start the services. Ridicule.

  • 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.
