HT1923 I cannot uninstall apple mobile device support. I am following the instructions for removing and reinstalling itunes but now stuck. Please help.

I am following the instructions for removing and reinstalling itunes because I had a "msvcr80.dll missing from your computer" error. I have uninstalled itunes and apple software update but the next one in order "apple mobile device support" will not uninstall. According to the instructions, that one has to be removed before I can do the rest. Would love any help I can get.

Hello and thanks so much for your quick reply. I am at a standstill, because I have done those things already and it has not worked. The repair install procedure seemed to take place quickly, but the same thing happened again when I tried to uninstall it the program after that.... It seems to proceed, then the progress bar goes backward, and there it still is!
When I downloaded the Microsoft Fixit program and asked it to uninstall the Apple Mobile device Support, it started but then got stuck and I had to shut my computer off, as it froze everything up!
I'm hoping you can help..... This seems to be a problem with the new version, and it's frustrating, because I can't use Itunes on my computer at all till we find a solution.
Perhaps if I try to restore my computer to before the Itunes 11.1.4 uodate?
Thanks so much for your help,

If you have a Change option that may lead to Uninstall as one of the choices. See also note 2 of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

Cannot uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support

I have a pc with Windows 7 (32-bit) operating system and cannot get Apple Mobile Device Support to uninstall. I begin the uninstall process and it goes through however at the very end it reverses and then tells me that it is done. I have deleted all the program files and it still does this. I cannot get this to uninstall... please help.

First try a repair install of Apple Mobile Device Support. If that goes through successfully, see if you can now uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support.
If the Repair install doesn't help, try using the fixit from the following Microsoft document to remove Apple Mobile Device Support:

HT1925 Why can I not uninstall "apple mobile device support" from my computer?

HT1923 Cannot uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support

It begins to uninstall, then seems to reverse itself? I can uninstall all other pieces of iTunes?

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.

Unable to uninstall Apple mobile device support from Programs and features using Windows 7 on PC.

I've uninstalled all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes but everytime I try to connect my device to the PC I get a message saying to uninstall iTunes and AMDS but the AMDS is not uninstalling properly even after I've cleared iTunes from Program files and tried stop/starting AMDS through administrator tools.
Help please.

HT4061 How do I uninstall apple mobile device support?

I am trying to fix a problem with iTunes, after an update failed. I uninstalled it, and downloaded the latest version. Now I get an error when I start up my laptop, stating a file is missing from aspdaemon and I can't install itunes as I apparently don't have sufficient administrator privileges! Trying to follow these steps http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376 however I cannot uninstall apple mobile device support. I go through the steps to uninstall, the green progress bar gets near the end of the uninstall, then it appears to cancel the process automatically without warning and closes the uninstall window. Anybody got any ideas whats going on? It just seems like problem after problem keeps appearing!
Sorry, placed this in the using iPad community as it won't let me post it without picking one and none are appropriate for a software problem on PC. Seriously getting annoyed with Apples support options tonight.

Try going through this if you haven't already. You may also need to look on a microsoft site for more specific info as to why you can't uninstall the driver. It may be as simple as signing in as the administrator.

Unable to uninstall Apple mobile device support

Hello,
I'm having big troubles with my Itunes, and more exactly with apple mobile device support.
I tried to uninstall every programmes of itunes (itunes, quick-time, apple mobile, bonjour...) to reinstall it.
I can't uninstall apple mobile device support. It won't disappear from the "programmes and applications". And the option "repair" doesn't work also. And every time i try to reinstall itunes it failed because of apple mobile device installation.
When i'm on my desk, the service apple mobile device is stopped, and when i try to start it, the computer can't reach access, and said something like "error 1053" or "can't access to sthe service". So i think that Apple mobile device support is the key of the problem, but i don't know how to fix it.
I'm a bit desperate because i didn't found anywhere some solutions, so if someone has, i will be very very grateful.
Thanks You

ITunes 10.2 Upgrade fix temporary. Fix to iTunes 10.2.2 by uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support and install AMDS from 10.0. Worked only to fail in 5 days. iTunes back to very slow to open and will not see device (iPhone) connected. Sorry

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.

When trying to uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support: The Installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\com.apple.MobileSync.client.resources\ClientDescription50.plist.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

HT1923 My computer is not letting me uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support so that I can uninstall and re-install Itunes. Why is it not letting the uninstall complete?

Due to a program error, I need to uninstall and re-install Itunes. While following the instructions provided for removing the program, I found that Apple Mobile Device Support will not uninstall. The program removal begins as normal but when the completion bar almost reachs the end with time remaining - 2 seconds, the bar starts to move in the opposite direction and the time reamaining increases before the window closes on its own. And Apple mobile Device Support is still on my program list.
Does anyone know why the program won't let me remove it? Any suggestions?

Trying to Remove iTunes software components because of 11.1.4 update error and using Windows 7 uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support does not work. Any suggestions?

Had error while updating Itunes to ver 11.1.4. I had 11.1.3.8 previously. Following instructions for Removing and Reinstalluing iTunes and other software components. Was able to uninstall iTunes and Apple Software Update, but attempts to do the same under Control Panel failed for Apple Mobile Device Support (ver 7.0.0.117). Directioons say to uninstall components in order given so I cannot continue until Apple Mobile Device Support is removed. Any suggestions?

Try reparing and then remove again if the repair is successful, otherwise move on to the next step. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more information.
