    And all downloads from apple, and I went in to search deleted  other stuff from apple, and itunes
    But definently not my itunes library and Playlist

  • Can't download iTunes "Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start.

    I have a new computer and I am unable to download iTunes.  I get the following message "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have suffiecient privileges to start system services."  Please note, iTunes is not installed at this point.  Previous discussions have been unhelpful, as they direct me to iTunes files that are currently non-existent due to me not being able to complete installation.
    Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.

    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.

  • Download I-Tunes 11.1.4 Failed: says Apple Mobile Device failed to start.  seems like it has something to do with MSVCR80.dll, but not sure what to do about it

    Says Apple Mobile Device failed to start.  Seems like it has something to do with MSVCR80.dll, but not sure what to do about it.  Now I have no Itunes at all

    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • Hi was told that there was an update for itunes yesterday, when to update and this kept failing, was prompted to uninstall itunes and reinstall this continues to fail message coming up says Apple Mobile device failed to start insufficient  previlieges

    Hi yesterday I was prompted to a update to itunes this I tried to do without success failing a number of times. After this I was prompted to unistall itunes and re install this now continues to fail with a message error something like Apple Mobile Devices Failed to start not enough previlieges. Please help is this a Apple issue Iv'e never had any problems before.

    I had this same problem this morning. When I tried to run ITunes after the failed upgrade I got a "msvcr80.dll is missing" driver error.
    Following the instructions in step 1 of this link:
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/msvcr80-dll-not-found-missing -error.htm
    got the latest version of ITunes up and running for me.
    The only thing that didn't quite work like the instructions said was I couldn't get the Apple Mobile Device Support to uninstall. The uninstall ran and said it was successful, but it was never removed from my list of installed programs. Even w/ that, the full re-install fixed the issue.

    I attempted to install the latest update.  I have recieved multiple failures.  I tried to repair itunes, uninstall and reinstall.  i now have no access to my itunes and continually get "apple mobile device failed to start.verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.

    Go into Programs and Features
    Uninstall:
    iTunes
    Bonjour*
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Application Support
    Quicktime*
    iCloud*
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    * I didn't have to uninstall Bonjour, iCloud or Quicktime to fix my issue but it won't hurt anything to uninstall them.
    Reboot. Download a fresh copy of iTunes. Right click on the exe file and select Run as Administrator if you have the option if not just Run it. Should fix the issue.

  • Several errors: missing MSVCR80.dll, "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start", Error 7

    I have been trying all morning to re-install iTunes, but continually receive the following errors:
    "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
    "iTunes was not installed correctly,  Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)"
    "iTunesHelper.exe - System Error: The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
    I have found a solution on iTunes support for the Error 7 message and followed the instructions, but the problem was not resolved.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times (I am doing all of this through the administrator sign on on my Windows 7 PC), and still receive these errors.  I have purchased a registry cleaning tool to try to fix the .dll error and it was not resolved.  I can't even get iTunes to install properly on my computer and have lost all use of the program.  I am at a loss as to what to do!!  Can anyone help!!
