Having Trouble w/ new iTunes 11.1.4 update (AMDS, Apple Mobile Device, Windos Error 7). How do I fix?
Recently tried to update my iTunes to the new 11.1.4 during the installation I received a pop-up stating that my "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start. I tried to follow some past instructions from other Windows users by uninstalling Itunes, Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Quicktime etc. After that I restarted my CPU and re installed iTunes again. The same "Apple Mobile Device" pop up came up again, so ignored it and went through with the installation but soon after received a pop up stating "iTunes was not installed correctly" Windows error 7. Can someone please help, I am totally confused. I use iTunes for a lot of things, and I am also iPhone user and without iTunes there isn't much I can do. Thanks guys.

I want to download my previous purchases from my computer to my IPhone 4. Everytime I plug my phone into my computer it says Apple mobile devices service is not started. How do I fix this?
Hello EFierro79,
I find it easiest to download my purchases directly to my iPhone. You don't even need to connect your iPhone to iTunes. As long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase the items, you will not be charged.
You can find the steps to do this under the section titled "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on iOS" in the following article:

Additionally, you can follow the steps in the article below to resolve the error "This [device] cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device Service is not started."

cannot install itunes I get a message that apple mobile device failed to start.. verify that you have sufficient priveliges to start system services
Hello, Edward.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I think the best option would be to completely uninstall all components of iTunes in the order specified of the article below. Once this is done attempt to install iTunes again.

I am unable to update any add-ons at all. Every time I try and install an add-on or even the new "show hidden add-ons" add-on, I get a server error. How do I fix this?
You may have triggered some intermittent database issues but it should be running smooth by now. Let us know if you still see server errors.
Also, if your addons appear to go missing after updating there is a workaround http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/09/28/issue-discovered-with-firefox-add-on-upgrades/ And there is a 7.0.1 fix on its way. -
When install iTunes 11.1.4 It says Apple Mobile Device Service service will not start. It was started when I began the installation. Is this an Apple software bug?
I have this issue. It isn't the MSVCR80 issue. No matter what I do nothing will let me even INSTALL Apple Moblie Device. Further details are in my thread:

While updating my iTunes this message came up "Service 'apple mobile device' (apple mobile device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services" what can I do to get my iTunes to work again?
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.
