Failed to load Apple Mobile Device Support
I updated to the latest iTunes and I keep receiving this error message. In order to fix it I've tried:
Restarting the Windows Service
Uninstalling Apple Mobile Device Support
Different USB cables
Different USB ports
Reinstalling iTunes
Restarting my iPhone
Restarting Windows
Nothing fixes it. My iPhone is no longer recognized by iTunes or other products such as iFunbox or PhoneClean. The iPhone will charge via PC, but that is it. The only other thing I can think of trying is reformatting my PC....
Again, this all started after I installed the newest iTunes. Any help would be great. Thanks.
I had a similar (but strange) problem yesterday after installing (via Update prompt) iTunes 12.1. Everything looked OK but I found that my wife's iphone 4S wasn't detected by iTunes, but strangely my iphone 4S was. Checked cable (same cable), checked connecting port on both phones, everything OK. Both phones were detected by Windows (8.1 64 bit). Decided to reboot both phones and the PC. Made no difference. However, sometimes MY phone wasn't being detected either.
Finally I deleted iTunes following this set of instructions http://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT1925 and reinstalled iTunes from a fresh download. Everything now working OK.
Make sure you follow the sequence of uninstall processes before reinstalling.
Hope this helps.

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? -
iTunes on my Windows Vista has failed to update over several weeks. Audio will not play out. Attempting uninstal/reinstall according to iTunes support page. Will not uninstall 'Apple Mobile Device Support' - goes to 99% then progress bar unwinds completely. Tried rebooting. Any clues??
Hey petanque1,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues installing iTunes for Windows. The following article outlines the error message you are receiving and a potential resolution:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
Some Windows customers may experience installation issues while trying to install or open iTunes 11.1.4.
Symptoms may include:
"The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer"
"iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows Error 126)”
"Runtime Error: R6034 - An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly"
"Entry point not found: videoTracks@QTMovie@@QBE?AV?$Vector@V?$RefPtr@VQTTrack@@@***@@$0A@VCrashOnOverf low@@***@@XZ could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\WebKit.dll”
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Check for .dll files
1. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
2. If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
3. Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
1. Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
2. Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using theMicrosoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
3. Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
Thanks,

Apple Mobile Device Support fails to install. Log file provided.
I have uninstalled the older version of itunes and all associated files in the reccommended order. In particular I have verified all Apple Mobile Device files, services and registry entries have been removed. I then downloaded itunes version 11.0.3 to my PC and installed the product. Other than AMDS the product loaded onto my PC and appears to work ok, including being able to recognise my ipod. Unfortunately itunes does not recognise my iphone.
However, the install produced two error messages.
First Error:
Program Files\itunes\ipodUpdaterExt.dll failed to register.
HRESULT-1073741819
Contact your support personnel
Second Error:
Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services
During the install, the program 'rolled back' the portion related to AMDS. To further analyse the problem I extracted the AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi from the itunes64Setup.exe file. I ran the .msi file as the System Administrator and produced a log file. The log file partially contained the following:
DIFXAPP: INFO: ENTER: DriverPackageInstallW

This file currently exists in:

now i went to the directory where the driverfiles should be, and paused the installation just before it starts rolling back and made a copy of the whole thing, the driver files are being extracted, and thinking it may have failed to find them, i restarted the installation and paused it after it extracted the files, copied over my backup files to where they should be, and resumed, same thing happened, failure again.
I stopped all the services running, (msconfig / startup and services) and that still did not help, i went through my registry for every "apple" and deleted it, after uninstalling all apple products, that did not help, i ran windows install clean up and made sure that quicktime and itunes and apple updatea re not installed, did the whole thing again, no luck.......
Can someone please tell me what is going on, i can run it just fine on my other machine, which is running windows xp pro as well, the only thing different i did on this one was that i plugged in the Iphone before installing the software, whereas i ran the itunes installer on that one before i plugged in the iphone, and yes, i did get the iphone driver as a camera at first, and i changed it later by pointing the update driver to the same directory where applemobiledevicesupport extracted the 3 driver files :

Yes another user with problem with Apple Mobile Device Support, I am getting the error message: Service 'Apple Mobile Device'(Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Vertify that you have sufficient privileges to start system service....I hit retry and it came up again. I hit ignore and it prompted me to hit finish so Itunes can open. I looked thru alot of these posts on here to try and resolve this problem myself but it's not working too well...I downloaded Itunes to my desktop so I can right click it with the program i downloaded called WinRAR. I extracted it and then went into the folder called Itunes64setup. I saw the file called AppleMobileDeviceSupport64 in there so I began to try and download it on it's own. Well that didn't work as I planned and got this error message:
Apple Mobile Device Support wasn't installed on your computer. The installer encountered errors before Apple Mobile Device Support could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time,please run the installer again.
Well I tried to run it again and came up with the same message...I see that some people got great support to help them so I am hoping someone can help me as well. I know "b nor" is very qualfied and hopefully can help me! Please advise what I can do. Thank youHi Iss9243,

iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
Cheers,
- Judy -
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. -
I am trying to update my iTunes to 10.5.1 so that I can upgrade my 3GS phone but am getting the following error message when trying to install the itunes: Install step failed: Run pre upgrade script for apple mobile device support. Contact software manufacturer for assistance. I am on a MacBook pro running 10.5.8 OS. Has anyone seen this before and how can I get it resolved.
Thanks for your help in advance....Did you ever figure out the problem? "Contact Software Manufacturer"?? That sounds ominous... I've got the same issue and I'm pretty durn aggravated right about now....

ITunes install fail - Apple Mobile Device Support not installing - Windows 8
So I have a Windows 8 Pro system, and I've had to reinstall iTunes. Anyway I've been completely unable to do so. It simply either gets an error and does not install (where does itunes store its installer log files so I can see whats happening?) at all or it gets to the part where its starting up services and it fails when its trying to install and start the Apple Mobile Device Support service and so when I start iTunes I get an error message like this one:
"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 tried several times to uninstall and manually delete all the files related to itunes, but this has made no impact.
I have no idea what to do. Reinstalling my OS and all the apps just to get iTunes back really isn't something i want to do.All sorted now. Sorry b noir, but I cannot remember the error. What I did was use the idea from another thread to copy the necessary files from one computer to another. Fortunately I have a laptop on 8 so updated iTunes and coppied all the files from the /Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Apple/Mobile Device Support. I then downloaded 2 programs to make the necessary registry entries. This did not fully work so I searched the laptop registry for the version number of Mobile Device Support and then put it into the same desktop registry key. This worked as I was now at the correct version.

I've been trying to upgrade to/install Itunes 10. When trying to do so, I get the error message: Install failed run preupgrade for Apple Mobile Device Support.
Per what I saw as a response to someone else who had a similar issue, I thought a fix might be to uninstall my existing Itunes, then try to re-install the Itunes 10. I tried that. However, I still get the same error message. Now, I have no Itunes.
I tried to email Apple, and they have not replied.
Anyone offer any solutions?me too did you get any help?

Apple Mobile Device Support failed to install
I just downloaded the latest version of iTunes, however, the Apple Mobile Device Support program will not download. I have removed iTunes and re-installed it numerous times. When I plug my phone or iTouch in to my computer, it does not recognize it and tells me to uninstall and re-install the 64bit version. I have with no success. I am running Windows 7. I have followed all the advice I could find on the Apple Support site. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
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.) -
Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient priviledges to start system services.
This is the message I am getting. Why can't I get itunes to load properly??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.
