Hi:
I was trying to update iTunes in my PC and it kept giving an error. So, I deteted iTunes and tried to download it again but every time I try I't gives me the same error and won"t let me ignore it in order to finish the download. The error is: "Service "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
I don't know what that means. I'm the administrator in this computer. If anybody knows what do I have to do please let me know. ThanksHey I finally got an older vesion of itunes to work!!! 10.7 x64 for windows 7
After uninstalling all apple products even quicktime
I had to delete everything from (program files, and program files x64, program data,)
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
Down loaded 10.7 x64 for windows 7, but checked (do not start when done)
Then I emptied my recycling bin and restarted my PC
I ran geek tech tool box same as reg cure pro, also PC Tools registry cleaner, and CC Cleaner
Then I emptied my recycling bin and restarted my PC
And wallah... It finally works, and I Love the older version anyways.

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. -
I'm attempting to reinstall ITunes because of a runtime error (R6034) when I start it. At end of install it says 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. I verified that I have admin privileges. Can anyone help?
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.

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 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. -
My ITunes library failed to start after an upgrade, now I'm unable to open or re-install. Receive an error message stating that "apple mobile device failed to start, check to see that you have sufficient priveleges to run system". Any help with this? I've tried un-installing and downloading only to get the same message again.
Thank you to "turingtest2", solution for someone else worked for me as well!

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. -
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!!Hi greenapple74,
