  • Have begun having a problem - symptom is windows message saying "R6034 A program has attempted to load the C runtime library incorrectly.  I have re-installed Itunes, the installation failed with an inability to start apple mobile device service also.

    Itunes quit working after a failed Itunes update.  Don't know why the update failed, but afterwords I got an error stating
    R6034
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.  Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I removed and reinstalled iTunes.  This resulted a problem during the install - "Apple mobile device" service failed to start.  After ignoring this a couple of times, the install continued, ultimately resulting in failure, and the R6034 message showing up twice, once associated with iTunes.exe and once with ITunesHelper.exe.
    Also got "iTunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes.
    Error 7 (windows error 1114)
    Can anyone help?

    Hello Skip Grantham,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
    For more information on this, take a look at:

    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    Best of luck,

  • Error 1067 when starting Apple Mobile Device service with Iphone 4S

    Hi,
    Excuse me for my bad english but I'm from Spain. I need your help.
    When I start Itunes I get an error because Apple Mobile Device service is not started, and when I try to start It from windows services (it's fixed to start automatically but it does not starts on windows start up) I get an 1067 error. I don't have any mega* program installed, wich I've seen could be the cause of the error.
    If I install Itunes 10.0 with it's Apple Mobile Device service this service starts with no problem but I can't use Itunes because I get an error when I start Itunes, any version of Itunes under 10.5 don't recognise my Iphone, and in 10.5 and newer versions I do get the famous 1067 error. I tried to reinstall several times/versions but I always get the same error in any version.
    What can I do?
    Thank you.

    With a 1067 I'd try the following document. (MegaUpload and MegaKey are the usual culprits, but I've seen other LSP conficts produce the 1067 too.)
