I've been trying to install itunes on windows 7 but apple mobile device will not install

I've finally managed to narrow the problem down to the following file:
C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$DIa0.119\AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi: The archive is corrupt
this is the file delivered with itunes and it's definitely causing the problem because when I try to install one I downloaded from
http://www.javakrypt.com/itunes/
it installed ok, however when I try to run itunes the amd driver is installed the ipod connects but itunes has a version issue with the AMD driver and asks for a reinstallation of itunes.
My question to apple is where can I download an incorrupted AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi file for the latest release of itunes, and can you pleas everify that the version you are deploying with the current version is not corrupted.(The first file I see when I extract the MSI file has a random character file name with no modified date and a size of 16640. WInrar refuses to extract any files from the msi file.
I believe many people are having this problem and if they can get this file it may their problem as well.

OK I've fixed the problem and my thanks go to redmars.com.au (link below plus copy of solution)
http://www.redmars.com.au/blog/itsupport/327
To summarise what I did I
0. the pnputil -e uninstallation didn't work for me so 
1. modified the permissions on the C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\netaapl64.inf_amd64_neutral_hexidecidforyourcomputer folder so that I could access it
2. I deleted the files in this folder
3. Retried the install from command line with log file enabled but it still rolled back, but in the log file I noted it wasn't finding the netaapI64 files and when I checked the above folder these files were missing.
4. I tried copying the files from the msi file using winrar but this failed passing a file corrupted error message and files copied had a zero byte size (i.e. empty)
5. I copied the files from a friends folder who didn't have this problem files are (netaapI64.cat, netaapI64.inf, netaapI64.PNF, netaapI64.sys and wdfcoinstaller01009.dll)
6. retried the install from the command line and it worked. Started itunes connected itouch, it installed the drivers and the itouch appeared in itunes.
I can now access my ipod from itunes.
The only problem now you face now is how to get the uncorrupted files detailed above. Does anyone have a solution to this? Winrar states files are corrupted. but they obviously aren't otherwis ethe installation wouldn't work.
text for solution here follows :
I recently came across a problem on a Windows 7 64bit laptop where Apple's iTunes was failing to recognise a connected iPhone. It was giving a error that the wrong version of iTunes was installed and I should install the 64bit version of iTunes. As I had no idea how what had been performed up until this point I performed a full uninstall of iTunes. I then downloaded the latest version of iTunes 10.5.1 and ran through the installer. At one point during the install I noticed the install gave the message 'Rolling back action' and thought to myself this cannot be good.
At the end iTunes indicated it had a problem installing and I should try again. The weird thing is if you didn't pay attention to the message you could quite easily click on ok and iTunes will work except it'll fail to recognise any iPod, iPhone or iPad device. To help identify what actually failed to install I checked the windows services management console and found the Apple Mobile Device Service was missing. This makes sense because it's that service which communicates with the iPhone. The question is why was the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) failing to install?
To find out I needed to capture a log file of the install process. A bit of research helped me identify that the iTunes64Setup.exe contained 5 separate windows installer files:
AppleApplicationSupport.msi
AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi
AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
Bonjour64.msi
iTunes64.msi
I needed to extract AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi from iTunes64Setup.exe so I could generate a install log. The solution is to install WinRAR which you can download here http://rarlab.com/download.htm. After extracting AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi to c:\temp (you can use any folder you like here) I opened a command prompt and issued these commands:
cd c:\temp
msiexec -i AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi -log AMDS.log
This will attempt to install the AMDS and generate an installation log c:\temp\AMDS.log. Looking through the log I found the install failed because the format of C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\netaapl64.inf_amd64_neutral_dc2c bd989eec1514\netaapl64.inf was invalid. I opened the file in question and found it to be completely blank. I coulnd't just delete the files in question because they are protected by the Windows operating system, and anyway the correct method to remove a driver package from the driver store is to use the pnputil.exe tool. However if the driver package didn't complete installation in the first place then it may not work, but it was always worth a try.
To use pnputil I needed to run a command prompt as an administrator. I Clicked Start, All Programs, and Accessories, then right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as Administrator. From the command prompt type I typed in pnputil.exe -e. This produced a list of installed driver packages. Looking through the list I was looking for something like this:
Published name :            oem30.inf  Driver package provider :   Apple  Class :                     Network adapters  Driver date and version :   07/12/2011 1.8.4.2  Signer name :               Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher
This is the Apple network adapter driver. The important information here is the Published name oem30.inf. To uninstall the driver use the command pnputil -d oem30.inf (replace oem30.inf with the correct published name for your PC). After this try and the install again: msiexec -i AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi -log AMDS.log. If this fails or as in my case the driver package doesn't show in the list of installed drivers you'll need to take more drastic (and potentially dangerous to your PC's health!) measures.
By default the files in the driver repository are read only and can only be modified by the Windows Operating System, and this is for a good reason. I needed to change the permissions on the driver package so I could delete the corrupt files. Caution proceed at your own risk, make a mistake here and your computer may stop working and a system restore or rebuild may be required.
The first thing I needed to do was to take ownership of the folder so I could change the permissions. From windows explorer I clicked on Folder and search options under the organize button. Next I clicked the view tab and clicked on Show hidden files, folders, and drives. By unticking hide extensions for known file types and unticking Hide protected operating system files I was able to view the files I needed to remove. From the windows explorer window I browsed to browse to C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\, which was now visible and right clicked the netaapl64.inf_amd64_neutral_dc2cbd989eec1514 folder and selected properties. I clicked the security tab and then the Advanced button. Under Advanced I clicked the Owner tab and then clicked the Edit button. From the change owner to: box I selected my username, and then ticked Replace owner on subcontainers and objects and clicked OK to set the changes.
Next I gave myself Full Control to the folder and files. Back on the Security tab I clicked the Edit button, and with Everyone highlighted in the Groups or user names I ticked full control in the Allow column. I clicked OK and accepted the warning message Windows presents about security and access problems. At this point I could delete the contents of the netaapl64.inf_amd64_neutral_dc2cbd989eec1514 folder.
I tried re-installing the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) using msiexec -i AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi -log AMDS.log command and I no longer got the Rolling back action error. All that I had left to do now was install iTunes again and the iPhone was now recognized when I connected it to the PC.

  • Latest iTunes update Apple Mobile device will not install

    This problem all started when I installed the latest update, everthing installed except apple mobile device, error message was " service apple mobile device failed to start verify that you have sufficent privileges to start system services. Have tried nurmerous uninstalls and reinstalls still no luck.  Tried the advice on restarting according to apple support but the problem is that AMDS is no where to be seen in the "services" to try and restart it.  Tried individual install using itunessetup.exe through Winrar (applemobiledevice.msi) still no luck, the installer goes throught intially but then it "rolls back" and states an error has occured and it can't install it.
    Running out of idea's and from looking at  the threads there seems to be alot of people with the same problem, but no fixes as yet, is there anyone out there that can sort this issue, as it would be much appreciated.

    After uninstalling an old version of iTunes and attempting to install a current one, the install stalls and gives a message that mobile device controller has failed to install, check that you have sufficient privilege to install it.  Running the browser as administrator does not fix it.  Is there a workaround?

  • Apple Mobile Device will not install?

    The biggest problem I have with Itunes, and unbelievably longstanding, is that I can't get my itouch on itunes, although it is shown on computer. Anybody know why? I have tried everything written on support with nothing to show for it but endless frustration. thanks.
    Also, Itunes refuses to recognize that I'm on 64 bit (Windows 7)

    Thanks, but I have done that with no luck. Having tried what looks like everything, that is,. everything written, I'm inclined to think the anwser is the nuclear option of your suggestion: reinstall Win 7. But I really don't want to do that. and I'm not sure I want to upgrade to Win 8.  I do keep in touch with Itunes with an old computer I use for just in case events. Larry

    Trying to re-install iTunes and the message "Apple mobile device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." But I don't know what to do? Please can someone help, I'm not the most technologically advanced person.

    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.

  • Apple Mobile Device Suppurt not installing with iTunes 10.6.3

    Hey guys, any help with this would be much appreciated., I had an issue a couple of days ago where I couldn't reinstall the latest itunes (10.6.3) I have now managed to install this current version but with one major problem, Apple Mobile Device Support didn't install with it. I tried everything, I've tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling it again with and without the anti virus turned on, I've tried a system restore, I've tried using an old version of Apple Mobile Device Support, and still nothing.
    My itunes keeps saying this whenever I plug in my iPad, "This iPad cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes, then install the 64bit version of itunes" I've done that, it didn't work, however, itunes has managed to install successfully on my desktop pc, which is Windows XP, with apple mobile device support, but the machine I'm having trouble installing itunes with Apple Mobile Device Support on is my Laptop which is running Windows 7. I doubt this is a problem with my laptop, the system restore I did confirmed that, and the issue only returned when I tried reinstalling the latest itunes. 
    Is this problem with Apple Mobile Device Support not installing with the latest itunes a bug? i hope so, because I've  read up ways to solve this problem but alot of it gets too technical and I'm not the most technical person when it comes to computers and all that.
    Is anyone else having similar problems, if so, how did you solve it?
    Thanks, hoping to hear back soon

    I've also read somewhere about using Win Rar to extract files to do with apple mobile device support from the itunes installer file, would you recommend that to? I don't really fancy the idea of doing anything that involves my registry because knowing me I'll end up screwing my laptop up for good lol
    It's a little more involved than just doing a standalone AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi install, I'm afraid. The relevant drivers in AMDS are not digitally signed for 64-bit XP, so you have to force XP to accept a driver install that it would try its damnedest to not do. There's no driver issues for other 64-bit componentry in the installer package (I think the GEAR drivers install on XP 64-bit systems), but I believe there's still a bit of fancy footwork involved in getting them installed too ... although it's been a long time since I've looked at an instruction set, and I might not be recalling those things correctly. (So if you're not comfortable with system modifications, it might be best to steer clear of the Orca-based techniques ...)

  • Itunes "apple mobile device" will not work or install

    Recently my computer has being doing some strange things. I have used iTunes on my Windows 7 computer for many months and several years on other computers without incident but recently my iTunes fails to detect my iphone 4gs. I have read some of the posts about manually restarting the Apple Mobile Device but all attempts had failed so I uninstalled all of iTunes. But now when i try to install iTunes again the message:
    "Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify that you have specific privileges to start system services"
    appears everytime with only the options : "abort" , "retry" and "ignore"
    If I click abort the installer does not finish, if i click retry the same message appears and if i click ignore the installer does not install everything. i am the administrator of my computer so i am confused as to why it asks me about my priveleges and iTunes has never had any problems such as this on my computer.
    Please help me resolve this issue as i am desperate to find an answer
    PS. Also before this problem occured i noticed that my itunes kept failing to update when it asked me to. i do not remember the specific message but it was something to with the update not installing/downloading properly

    I WANT MY MONEY BACK. I HAVE NO PHONE SERVICE.

    Hi jngs & amyjo - have u sorted problem? I'm having exactly the same problem with my nano.During first installation of software, would not recognise new hardware when connecting ipod to the pc for formatting. I've uninstalled and reinstalled using both CD that come with nano and also latest software update available on itunes...but still will not recognise hardware when nano connected to pc. Have tried with several 2.0 ports - these r all ok cause i've connected other devices to them and they work fine. I've tried connecting nano to a friend's pc - he all ready uses a ipod (not nano) - same problem "does not recognise new hardware". The usb lead is fine as the nano charges when connected to port. Am planning to take nano back to Apple store in Blue Water (outside London) nxt wk. Why is it that things don't work even when you follow instructions to the letter!!!

  • ITunes install fail -  Apple Mobile Device Support not installing - Windows 8

    So I have a Windows 8 Pro system, and I've had to reinstall iTunes. Anyway I've been completely unable to do so. It simply either gets an error and does not install (where does itunes store its installer log files so I can see whats happening?) at all or it gets to the part where its starting up services and it fails when its trying to install and start the Apple Mobile Device Support service and so when I start iTunes I get an error message like this one:
    "This iPad cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes, then install the 64bit version of itunes"
    I've tried several times to uninstall and manually delete all the files related to itunes, but this has made no impact.
    I have no idea what to do. Reinstalling my OS and all the apps just to get iTunes back really isn't something i want to do.

    All sorted now.  Sorry b noir, but I cannot remember the error.  What I did was use the idea from another thread to copy the necessary files from one computer to another.  Fortunately I have a laptop on 8 so updated iTunes and coppied all the files from the /Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Apple/Mobile Device Support.  I then downloaded 2 programs to make the necessary registry entries.  This did not fully work so I searched the laptop registry for the version number of Mobile Device Support and then put it into the same desktop registry key.  This worked as I was now at the correct version.
