HT1926 When downloading iTunes I keep getting the message about Apple Mobile Device not found or something like that?

I keep having issues trying to get itunes installed. I did the recent update and it kept telling me a file was missing. I then uninstalled the whole program. And now when I'm trying to install it. It is telling me something about an error with Apple Mobile Device or Support.

Hi ALCNYC
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you may need to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service. This article has instructions for doing this:
How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567
If that doesn't resolve the issue, I would recommend trying a thorough uninstall and reinstall of iTunes as described here:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Reinstalling iTunes and keep getting this message -Service 'Apple Mobile Device Service'failed to start

Hi, Apologies if this is answered elsewhere but I cannot seem to find help for my issue...
Two weeks ago an iTunes update failed and I've been without iTunes since then.
I'm running Windows 7
I've tried removing all of the Apple components but every time I reinstall (currently 12.1.1.4) I get the following.
All my firewalls are switched off, when I go to services and try to start it manually i get this message;
I hope it is something simple that I'm missing?

Proceed to the next step...
If that article doesn't resolve things then 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 the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

I have a very similar problem. I am running a new install of Windows 8.1. When I install iTunes 64 bit I receive 2 similar pop-up error windows containing the following (note error code and error text differ "iTunes Helper" vs. "iTunes"):
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Apple Application Support was not found.
Apple Application Support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again.
Error 2
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Apple Application Support was not found.
Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again.
Error 2 (Windows error 2)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I've followed the instructions given in this post:
download/install WinRAR
extract iTunes64Setup
double click AppleApplicationSupport.msi
When I run AppleApplicationSupport.msi, I receive the following error:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
! C:\Users\Charlie\Downloads\iTunes Extract - 2\iTunes64Setup\AppleApplicationSupport.msi: The archive is corrupt
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Any ideas?

I am so confused. I just downloaded Itunes. I set up an Apple ID with a password. Now I want to purchase a song. I can't do it. I keep getting the message: This Apple ID has not yet been used with the Itunes Store. What am I doing wrong?

You haven't opened an account with that Apple ID in iTunes. Open iTunes and log in. A dialog will appear in which you need to enter your Apple ID and/or password. Below it you should see a link for creating a new account. Click on that link to get started.

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.

ON my PC, I attempted to download the update to itunes.
