Having issues installing iTunes on windows 7.

The most recent update through iTunes into hiatus so I decided to uninstall/reinstall. I get to the very last part of installation, the starting services part, and I get this box saying " Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." I am the only user on this computer so I know it's not an admin issue. Any thoughts on this error.

If you are still in strife, try https://discussions.apple.com/message/24611030#24611030 it worked fine for me. Good luck

    Repair your Apple Sofyware update.
    Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install

  • Having issues installing iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows 7 (64 bit).

    Issues installing iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows 7 (64 bit).This install clobbered my previous version of iTunes. Error message is "service Apple Mobile Device failed to start". Cannot start the service manually even though I am the administrator of the machine. There is obviously some conflict that was recently introduced by a Windows update or in the Apple installation. I have tried removing iTunes and the AMDS (the Apple mobile device service) and reinstalling with the same error message.
    Thanks for any suggestions you can provide!

    Hey there Marylin,
    It sounds like you are unable to start iTunes due to this error message even after uninstalling the iTunes application and the Apple Mobile device. I would recommend uninstalling not just those 2 applications but iTunes and ALL its associated applications with the following article:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • Is anyone having issues opening itunes in windows 7 professional?

    Brand new dell desktop with i7 chip 12 gig ram running windows 7.  Installed new copy of itunes and when i point it at the music folder under my music that I copied from my old machine it starts to load up and then closes.  I have run all scenarios suggested by apple website and nothing has worked.  Does anyone have any insights?

    Ummm I think everyone is having this problem, the solution I have found is that to open it in "safe mode"
    To open it in safe mode
    hold down shift and control at the same time.
    you will get a message saying that you want to open it in safe mode if u did it right, continue and it should work.
    if u stuffed it up, ctrl alt delete task manager and end the program...
    p.s porb have to do this till the nxt update...

  • Having problems installing Itunes to Windows 7 Computer

    Hello, Can someone please help me!
    I've tried installling Itunes to my Windows computer since I've now got an Iphone. However, When I go to install It reaches the end of the installation but never allows me to click "Next", the Cancel button is still highlighted.
    If I click the cancel button, the update will not cancel. The box will just stay on the screen.
    I then noticed that on the "All Programs" section, it said "Apple software updater" - When clicking on it, it said something about the "parameter incorrect." So it couldn't perform the action. I think this is the problem but I dont know how to get round it.
    Could someone please give me a simple soloution!

    This hasn't seemed to work
    here are some visuals to help - it remains like this
    and when trying to click on the apple software update

  • Trouble installing itunes onto Windows 8 laptop

    Hi, I'm having issues installing itunes onto my windows 8 laptop. It downloaded fine, eventually after I found the right folder! But when I go to open the setup file it doesn't do anything. I looked in the task manager and saw the itunes installer was actually there but still not doing anything?? I've tryed running it as an administrator, deleting it all and starting again etc. Running out of ideas as I'm at the limit of my knowledge, any help would be great.

    Hmmmm.
    Any better luck if you try a manual uninstall of the GEAR drivers prior to the iTunes install?
    For a link to instructions, see solution 3 from the following document:
    iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install
    (Fingers crossed they've got Windows 8 instructions up now.)

    The installer encountered problems before iTunes could be configured.
    Errors occured during installation. Your system has not been modified.

    Hello there JadeMB,
    From what you are describing here, it sounds like you may have the 64 Bit version of Windows 8 so the 32 Bit installer for iTunes will not work.
    Here is the download for the 64 bit version of iTunes:

  • Cannot install itunes on Windows 7 Windows Service Installer could not be accessed

    I am having trouble installing itunes on Windows 7.  I keep getting a message that says that Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.  This is driving me crazy.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I managed to get iTunes downloaded, but now it won't install because it says a newer version of Quicktime is installed, and iTunes cannot proceed until that is uninstalled.
    We're still making progress. That's damaged QuickTime installation configuration information (which also seems to be associated with some-though-not-all reports of your initial error).
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)
