HT1199 When installing iTunes, I get message "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start.
After getting the above error message, I ignore it. The installation seems to continue fine. Then when I start iTunes, I get the message "iTunes did not install properly Error 7 (Windows error 193). I have updated the Microsoft .NET software to the latest version, then deleted iTunes and QuickTime, restarted the system, then downloaded and installed iTunes again and I still get the same messages. I am running a Windows 7 machine with Internet Explorer 11. Does anyone have a clue on how to correcct this?

Reinstalling iTunes and getting message "service 'apple mobile device'failed to start.Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services"
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.

I receive a massage that a new version of ITunes was available (11.1.4). I proceeded to update, the download went ok but when installing the Message “Service ’Apple Mobile Device’ failed to start, verify that you have sufficient Privileges to start system Services”
On pressing retry I got the same message.
On pressing Ignore, I got the message “ITunes was not installed correctly, please reinstall ITunes – Error 7 – (windows error 126)
I reinstalled with the same error messages and the same results.
I uninstalled existing and reinstalled from scratch and the same error messages again.
I try to repair and at the end it said it had installed correctly – but when it tried to start I got the message “This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem” I now get the same message when I first start the computer but when I press ok I receive ““ITunes was not installed correctly; please reinstall ITunes – Error 7 – (windows error 126)” again.
It appears the update has not only corrupted the operating system (Xp Pro SP3) of my computer but I have no backups to my IPhone, my wife’s IPhone or the three others phones that use my computer.
I hope you can advise me how to recover my backupsHi Iss9243,

Message: Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start when installing Itunes.
When downloading a new version of Itunes I receive a message "Service Apple Mobile Device" failed to start. I have read the articles on how to start Apple Mobile Device. But when I go to services, Apple Mobile Device is not listed. So I cannot start it. Any ideas on how to get it listed so I can start Apple Mobile Device?
I am still waiting for anybody that can help me with this problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many time without success.

Normal update of iTunes to 11.1.4 fails. Suggests installing from web site
I install from iTunes.com. Install issues the messages:
Service "Apple Mobile Device' failed to start.
Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services
I do have necessary privilegs. I hit ignore. See window with successful install come up and finish with launch. I get the messages:
iTunes was not installed correctly.
Please reinstall iTunes
Error 7 (Windows error 126)
Tring to start iTunes from desktop gives:
This application failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found
Re-installing the application may fix the problem.
Further repair or remove/reinstall does not fix the problem (including after reboot)
Thie is the first time this has happened. I'm not sure where to go from here
Thanks for any help.Earlier suggestion worked. That is, Use software add/remove to delete all 5 iTunes applications:
Apple Application Support
Apple Mobile Device Support
Aple Sortware Update
Bonjour
iTunes
Reboot and install/
