HT1349 I can't start Itunes because of an error reading "Apple mobile device failed to start"
I'm having trouble getting itunes to load...I have had to uninstall it, and now cannot reinstall it. I am getting an error that says apple mobile device failed to start. Does anyone know what is going on??
Actually, so then I clicked abort on that tab and once it tried to install, it said failed to install itunes correctly -Error 7 (windows error 126)??
hiya!
"Failnumber:0x80040707
Description: DLL Functioncall went down: QTInstallCode.QuicktimeUnInstallProc (translated directly from danish.. :P)
good translation! i recognised that one instantly.
okay, in this context, that usually indicates a broken existing QT setup where the QT installation configuration information has been compromised.
here's what we'll try first.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility and use to to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.

... then use the QuickTime component of the complete uninstallation instructions in the following document as a guide to a manual removal of leftover QuickTime program files and folders on the PC.
Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or QuickTime software in Windows
once all the old QuickTime has been scraped away, let's try another careful standalone QT 7.0.4 install.
does it go through okay this time? if so, does your itunes launch properly again?

Tried to update ITunes, but keep getting error: Service "Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
So how do I get my ITunes back?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.

During the installation of Itunes I get the following error: Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privledges to start system service. I then have three buttons abort, retry and ignore. I have hit each button once and got no good results.
Chaps and chapesses,
I too was having the same problem when I tried to update and then unfortunately uninstall and re-install itunes. But, like Nige above me says, you need to uninstall all your Apple software and then re-install itunes.
Have a look at the response given to this forum post:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5819470?tstart=0
I did exactly as the turingtest2 said:
I removed all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update

Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Then I restarted my computer, and the install of itunes worked like a dream. None of this ignore, abort, cancel nonsense.
Hopefully all your respective versions of itunes will work soon. Cheers Nigel280 -

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 download iTunes on my second Windows 8 computer (64 bit). I got it fine on my first one and have used it quite a bit. After downloading the program and installing it on the second computer, I keep getting this error message: "Apple Mobile Device Failed to Start." This happens when when my IPhone 5c is connected via Wi-Fi and I have clicked on "Trust This Computer." (I have tried to install several times-- It gets hung up when it reaches"Starting 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
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.

Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

when installing itunes I received the following error "service Apple Mobile Device failed to start, verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services"
Me too. And if someone comes back on here with the same solution of "uninstall and re-install", please provide further advice after you have done that 3 times and the program still has the same problem in addition to the "failure to load the C runtime library" R6034 issue. I have removed itunes 3 times however I do not have permission to remove the program files/apple file and the uninstall doesn't remove it.
You're not alone buddy.

I was asked if I wished to download the latest version of iTunes to my computer. I have failed to do so. Error message : 'Apple Mobile Device failed to start'. Verify that you have sufficient privilages to start system services. I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it and continue to receive this message. I have untl now had no previous problems downloading iTunes.. any help would be greatly appreicated.
I tried and don't have that.
Doublechecking. Do you mean you you don't have the QTMovieWin.dll?
Did you proceed with the measures after that? (In the second box?) -
When updating to the latest iTiunes, download and install work just fine until alomost to the end, when the install stops and I get the following message: 'Service Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. That's all I get, and install stops completely after asking me to choose either "Abort', or 'Retry',
But I know I have privileges because my iOS devices (iPads, iPad Mini, and iPod Touch) work just fine.
So now, I can't use iTunes on my computer because I can't download the software.
Great!Hello Clage,
