When updating Itunes I keep getting an error messge mobile device failed to start check for sufficient privileges

I need help upgrading Itunes.I keep getting an error message that says
Mobile device failed to start check for sufficient privileges.I am running windows 8

Same here - did the latest iTunes update and boy am I glad I did that; haven't been able to run iTunes since. Have re-installed after uninstalling as per one of the other help pages, re-booting, and now instead of getting the above error message I get one that says Apple Application support not found. Please uninstall then reinstall. Apple error 2.
Not thanks - Apple, you might want to do something about this I'm guessing since I'm no longer able to use iTunes thanks to your update?

Trying to update iTunes but keep getting the error messag "the url could not be opened" when it's always worked fine in the past. What does this mean?

Trying to update my iTunes but keep getting the error message "the URL could not be opened" what does this mean and how do I resolve this? It's always worked fine in the past!

Select a broken track and press ctrl-i to Get Info. Look on the summary tab for the location where iTunes "thinks" the file should be. Where is it really? Post back the two locations and I can suggest the best approach.

When I try to play some of the songs in my itunes library, I get a prompt saying the file could not be used. When I hit the "locate" button, it still won't locate the file. I didn't delete any of these tracks and there is no common link between them.

Try the following user tip:
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates

Unable to install iTunes on Widows 7. Error: A DLL required could not be run. What now?

I am unable to install iTunes on Widows 7. I get this Error Message during installation: There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
What now please?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

TS1567 Tried installing itunes and got the message "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services".

I did as Apple suggested and went into my services page and stopped the Apple Mobile Device service. Once it stopped I started it again. I then went through the downloading of iTunes process again, and I got the same error. I have McAfee and Webroot Security, and I am operating on Windows 7. What should I do?

So many people are having this problem! Doehunter's instructions here worked for me! Hope this helps. https://discussions.apple.com/message/23824640#23824640

I have been trying to install the new iTunes, and i get an error that a program could not be run.

I have an old version of iTunes and require the new version to connect my IPod. A program can not be run and the installation stops. I have no idea what program or what is required to run it. Please Help.

That would be my first guess. You might be trying to install the 32 bit version of the program.
Update the thread with more info on your apple software etc if its a 64 bit install you're trying to perform.
