I am having trouble with updating Itunes

Hi can anyone help me out with this. The other day I tried to update my Itunes from 11.1.3 to 11.1.4. The update wasn't successful. I then tried to update via the Itunes website however that led me to a error message. That message said "Service apple mobile device. (Apple Mobile Device) Failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
Another thing that I tried was restarting my computer and that didn't help with the issue. I uninstalled Itunes and I am still getting the above error message when I am attemping to reinstall it.
Has anyone else had this issue? If so is there anything that was done to resolve the issue? Everything with my itunes was working fine until I tried to update it.

Hello, JRA24ever. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
I think the best option would be to completely uninstall all components of iTunes in the order specified of the article below.  Once this is done attempt to install iTunes again.

  • Having trouble with updated iTunes - iPod Nano 1st Gen.

    My iPod Nano [1st Generation] won't update or anything with iTunes 7.0!!! It worked with iTunes 6, but I downloaded 7 and it messed up my iPod - I tried deleting iTunes 7 and redownloading 6, but when I finished doing that, and I tried to get 6 to load, a window popped up that said "'iTunes Library.itl' cannot load because it was created on an updated version of iTunes" or something along that line. So now my songs are completely gone, I have NOTHING on my iPod because I had to delete iTunes 7... WHAT DO I DO!?!?!?!?!?!

    If the card was issued in the same country as you and your account are based and the page that you posted from doesn't help, then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

  • We are currently having troubles with our iTunes. Playing different songs and randomly it changes the name of the song to pink time after time. We could go through 5 songs before it will change the next one to song title time after time and artist pink

    Hi I am having trouble with iTunes! Randomly when I click on a song in iTunes it changes the song title to time after time and the artist is pink.
    I could click on 4 songs and they will be normal but then the 5th one will change the info to time after time.
    I haven't done anything different or new, it started doing it all of a sudden, well that I have noticed anyway. Please help.

    Hello Schimi. The Time Capsule is a kind of product that offer you two possibility:
    - To use the TC as a router or as an external HD.
    The difference between WPA and WPA 2 are:
    - They are two kinds of internet connection.
    WPA uses dynamic key encryption , which means that the key is constantly changing and makes the invasion of a wireless network more difficult than WEP . WPA is considered one of the highest levels of wireless security for your network and is recommended if your devices support this kind of encryption . Newer routers offer WPA2 security . WPA2 is compatible with WPA , but offers higher security level . In fact, it meets the high standards of many government agencies . If the router and computer support WPA2 , this should be your choice.
    If you need any help or if you find some difficult setting up it you can contact Apple Support.
    I am sure that they can help you with that.
    I am sory for the delay. I holpe that you solve your issue.

  • Having trouble with updating...

    Hi. I am trying to update iTunes using software update, but, whenever I try to update, all that comes up is an error window with the following:
    *The update "iTunes" can't be saved*
    You do not have the appropriate access privileges.
    The Installer package has been moved to the Trash. To try again, open the package from the Finder.
    I have tried to play around with the access privileges, but, it did not make a difference.

    You library and settings will remain intact.
    That's a big assumption to make, if the preference file that describes some of those settings is corrupted. I would at the very minimum clone backup your data before attempting anything so big, in case the update does make something more corrupt than it is already*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    At very minimum you don't want the update to trigger another failure somewhere else. Once corruption exists, it can multiply when updates are done.

  • I can't update any of my apps because its having trouble with my iTunes account how do I fix this I have a valid credit card?

    Someone please help me I got my IPad off of craigslist but brand new in the box.

    Once you purchase or download an app it will always be associated with the Apple ID used to download it. When that app requires and update you must use the Apple ID and password used to download it in the first place. The only way around this is to delete the apps the require the old Apple ID and download or purchase them again with the new Apple ID.

  • Having trouble with Installing itunes on web site

    Can someone help with this issue. I have tried installing itunes thru
    www.apple.com/ipod/start
    I download the program via the 'run' option and it begins to load in the temp file location. It starts to transfer until 77% (always) and then doesn't continue although the function is running. After 20 minutes the message pops up that the process time out. There is no error message. Does anyone know what would cause this?
    Thanks for any help

    I had the same problem, and whether you run or save when downloading it would stop at 76%. After 2 days of defragging, updating virus software, checking my registry and everything else I can think of I finally called support. Go to www.filehippo.com and download itunes from there.

  • I am having trouble with my iTunes acct

    my itunes acct will not take my credit card information. It keeps tellimg me my secuirty card is invaild, and i really need to update my apps.

    Hopefully, you waited a bit.
    Theres one way to truly make sure you are in the clear when you delete iTunes. Open up iTunes, the go to the top left under File. Click on it, the go to Library. What you will want to do is backup your Library by Consolidating the files (it will make a new folder in the Music section on your Computer), and you'll want to keep the original files where they are, but go with the option at the top (1st one it should be actually). If anything goes wrong, you'll still have all of your music, and you'll just need to add the folder(s) to your new library.

  • Anyone Else Having Trouble With The iTunes Music Store?

    Incredibly slow for me the last few days, when it does load, most of the pictures are missing with a broken link icon in their place. Ohio, USA. Using iTunes 7.01
    Thanks,
    Dave
    iMac, 2 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2 GB   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Same here in SC. Also a Road Runner customer. Been working fine until Friday, the 20th. I was getting the broken links and really slow, but today (22nd) I can't even access it. I'm getting the network connection errors also. If I manually check for updates it comes back immediately that I'm running the current version, so I know the application can access the net. Then tried the store again and got the slow broken links home page again.

  • Hello, i'm having trouble with installing iTunes.

    There appears an error, saying - 'policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.CRT.type="win32-policy".version="8.0.50727.6195".pub licKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b".processorArchitecture="x86"
    I\ve tries everything, but nothing helps(

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

  • Still having trouble with update

    A month ago I tried updating to iTunes6. Once that occurred it told me that I needed quicktime 7.0.3 and that I have 7.0.2. I've tried uninstalling and going back to the cd software...but then my music won't play. All my music will be in the library, but it won't play. So then I redownloaded iTunes6 and the original message comes up. Can you send me a patch or send me an older version of iTunes? I can't update my mini without it.
    Thanks,

    hi Lexi!
    you're actually not talking directly to Apple. this is a user-to-user troubleshooting forum. see:
    What is Apple Discussions?
    Once that occurred it told me that I needed quicktime 7.0.3 and that I have 7.0.2.
    for that one, let's first try a careful standalone QT 7.0.3 install.
    download and save to your hard drive a copy of the QT 7.0.3 installer. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off any antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.0.3 Standalone Installer
    if you get an error message on the standalone install, let us know what it says. (include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
    if the install goes through, does your itunes launch again?
    keep us posted.
    love, b
