HT1926 Having Trouble Updating to iTunes 11 getting error Apple Mobile Device faiil to start

Can't get iTunes 11 to install. I keep getting an Apple Mobile Device Failed to start error

The frequently suggested repair steps listed in comments athttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926 did not work for me yesterday when I attempted for an entire day to fix this commonly reported problem with the newest iTunes update. I now realize that I overlooked one step listed in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
My computer has a Windows 64 bit operating system. I should have  paid attention to this instruction:
"If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, you'll need to confirm that the following folders have been removed:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Bonjour
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\
C:\Program Files (x86)\iPod\  "
Tonight, I removed those previous version files from the Program Files (x86) directory and executed the rest of the steps listed. Success resulted. If you are struggling like I did to install the iTunes newest update on a Windows 64 bit operating system, you might benefit to recheck that you followed the instruction listed above.

  • I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes Version 11.4.1 and still cannot access. I continue to get the Error 7 Windows Error 193 and now I am getting the Apple Mobile Device failed to start. I can't access any of my music I HAVE PURCHASED. What  to do?

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes Version 11.4.1 and still cannot access. I continue to get the Error 7 Windows Error 193 and now I am getting the Apple Mobile Device failed to start. I can't access any of my music I HAVE PURCHASED. What  to do?

    I am getting the same error message - error 7, Windows error 193 running iTunes on a PC Laptop (HP) which has been running iTunes previously for at least 2 years. 
    I followed the Apple support page and uninstalled (in order) all Apple programmes specified, rebooted, then re-installed.  Two additional errors crop up in re-installation, the first one is to do with Apple Mobile Support Device Services.  It seems that this might be rectified by plugging in said devices before finishing the re-install.  The second reads iTunesHelper was not installed correctly please re-install iTunes.  This persists. I cannot uninstall iTunesHelper using the Control Panel, but I can delete it using Windows.  However, after re-installing again, it still won't run and the original error comes back.  I've downloaded and uninstalled 15 times now and this is taking far too long to be acceptable.

    Restart your computer. Run iTunes and check for updates. If there is a later version of iTunes available, download and install it. Then try again. If you still cannot see your iPad listed in iTunes make a list of all the things you have tried so that we can see exactly what steps you have taken.

    Hey AndreaKK,
    I would try the following directions:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    If you have Windows XP, there are slightly different directions in here:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

  • HT201413 itunes update failed - can't get past "Apple mobile device failed to start"

    Any help would be appreciated:
    I opened itunes today and got the standard needs-to-update message, so I let it do its thing.  Rather than update like usual, it stopped and said there was an error and it failed to finish (didn't copy that one down).  I tried clicking on the desktop link, but it said there was something missing and I should reinstall it. 
    I went and uninstalled it, then went to the itunes site and downloaded the latest version, and now I'm stuck with this:
    "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
    Then I have the option to abort, retry, or ignore.  I can't ignore it 'cause it brings me back there, and retry does the same.  Abort just cancels the whole install.
    I looked up "Apple Mobile Device" but the help tips just tell me to stop it and start it again, but it never started.  I tried to start it, but I get this:
    "Windows could not start the Apple Mobile Device service on Local Computer.  Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."
    Where do I go from here?  It has always just...updated.  I have no idea where it's getting this problem from.

    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.

  • ITunes 9.2 Apple Mobile Device won't start.

    a few days ago i updated my itunes to the latest version (9.2) but since then its impossible to sync my iPod touch 2g. every time i start itunes and connect the ipod to the pc, a message pops up saying that Apple Mobile Device hasn't started.
    i searched in forums for a solution, i tried starting it manually but then a message pops up saying that it started but then stopped again because some services close immediately when they have nothing to do.
    i tried reinstalling everything.. didn't work, i tried repairing AMD from control panel also, same problem. always that message that it hasn't started and in services it says that it closed again.
    i don't know what to do... please help me!

    I am experiencing exactly the same issue too. Vista-64 bit O/S. Uninstalled-reinstalled iTunes 9.2 numerous times. Still getting the same error in the event logs:
    Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\AppleSyncMapiInterfaceHelper_x64.exe". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.CRT,processorArchitecture="amd64",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e 3b",type="win32",version="8.0.50727.4053" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.
    Another error that seems to be related is:
    Faulting application AppleMobileDeviceService.exe, version 17.58.0.21, time stamp 0x4c0ed767, faulting module RPCRT4.dll, version 6.0.6002.18024, time stamp 0x49f05beb, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00017a46, process id 0x184c, application start time 0x01cb2ae2765b428f.
    As a result "Apple Mobile Device" can't start and I can't connect the iPad.

  • Windows 7 installation error: "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start.

    Towards end of recent iTunes software update on Windows 7, I had an installation error within starting services "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start, etc. Pressed IGNORE option. Appears to install but fails to load saying msvcr80.dll missing.
    Any ideas. The old version of iTunes now loads ok but will not connect to my iPhone 4S. It crashes when the iPhone option is clicked.

    You need to follow the instructons of tt2 in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5822086 to straighten that out.
