TS1567 Cannot download latest version of I-Tunes 11.1.4. It stops at the end with "Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privilege to start system services" never had a problem before. On Vista system. Come on Apple give us

tried to download latest I-Tunes 11.1.4 update but got the message re " Apple Mobile Device failed to start etc. Seems I am not the only one with this problem but getting frustrated as I have tried all the suggestions and now have no Itunes but plenty of money still on it. Why won't Apple admit they have a problem and fix it. There is no where to complain to them online. Help please

Hello PaulHeartattack,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
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.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
2. Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled
3. Reinstall iTunes and related components
If the Apple Mobile Device Service still will not start, this could be caused by third-party security software. Please follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Best of luck,

ITunes fails to load. Message is Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services. Never had this problem before trying to install this upgrade

iTunes fails to load. Message is "Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services." Never had this problem before trying to install this upgrade. How do I fix this?

Dave, same problem here. And I did go in as admin to Administrative Tools, Services, Apple Mobile Devices and tried restarting the service. It seems there is a bug with the newest update, period. All of the normal "easy" steps don't work. Before I remove all of Apple's programs, including Bonjour....I'm running a full system scan.
But the answer will be to remove all of the Apple stuff, then reboot, then use whatever utility you have to remove all temp files...then go download and install it again. This has worked for several people (I read the thread before posting). Win 7 64bit. It just seems that Apple did not thoroughly test this new version. Period.
If Apple reads this...I have many computers...and whenever Apple wants to update something...it just about stops everything else that is going on. Total memory hog, even with 16G RAM and dual quad core processors. It has to learn to play nice with others.
After the scan and I'm sure an hour or two of work...I'll re-post.
Of course if you do image back-ups, as I do, you can simply restore your drive to its previous state and run the previous version of iTunes, declining the update, until Apple gets it right. Depending on the size of your drive, this could take hours. It is a matter of choice, of course.

TS3212 I receive a massage that a new version of ITunes was available (11.1.4). I proceeded to update, the download went ok but when installing the Message "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start, verify that you have sufficient Privileges to start

I receive a massage that a new version of ITunes was available (11.1.4). I proceeded to update, the download went ok but when installing the Message “Service ’Apple Mobile Device’ failed to start, verify that you have sufficient Privileges to start system Services”
On pressing retry I got the same message.
On pressing Ignore, I got the message “ITunes was not installed correctly, please reinstall ITunes – Error 7 – (windows error 126)
I reinstalled with the same error messages and the same results.
I uninstalled existing and reinstalled from scratch and the same error messages again.
I try to repair and at the end it said it had installed correctly – but when it tried to start I got the message “This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem” I now get the same message when I first start the computer but when I press ok I receive ““ITunes was not installed correctly; please reinstall ITunes – Error 7 – (windows error 126)” again.
It appears the update has not only corrupted the operating system (Xp Pro SP3) of my computer but I have no backups to my IPhone, my wife’s IPhone or the three others phones that use my computer.
I hope you can advise me how to recover my backups

During Itunes download for windows 7 64bit, error message says "Service Apple Mobile device" failed to start

During Itunes installation on my Windows 7 64 bit computer.. I get the following message which won't allow installation:
Service "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
This occurred after an itunes update to my computer that produced a corrupted msvcr80.dll file. So I deleted Itunes and reinstalled.

Redo the install, following the below procedure. However, when you re-install Itunes, right click and run the install as administrator. For Win 7, I think you have to hold down the shift key when you right click and then "run as administrator" will be an option.
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.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I receive an error message when trying to install the latest Itunes program on my computer using windows 7, 64. I receive the message, "service apple mobile device fails to start"

What must I do to install the latest Itunes program using windows 7, 64. The program stops when the service portion is installing and states, "Service Apple mobile division fails to start"

Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
"P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

Hi emelville,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You may need to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service. This article has instructions that may help:

If that doesn't resolve the issue, I would recommend trying a thorough uninstall and reinstall of iTunes as described here:
