IPhone support will not install.

I'm rather desperate here. It's been months since I've last been able to change my selection of music on my iPhone. My PC will simply not allow mobile device support to install. It has got no reason for doing so, other than simply being difficult. The only detail I can give is that it stops installing, at which exact point I'm not certain, and starts rolling back. It then gives me a screen stating -
"Apple Mobile Device Support Installer Completed
The installer encountered errors before AppleMobie
Device Support could be configured.
Your system has not been modified. To retry these
operations at a later time, please run the installer again.
Click Finish to exit the installer."
Any advice, and perhaps solutions, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time,
GRAYINATOR

Thanks anyone for any help or consideration, but I solved this one myself.
But for anyone else who might have this issue, please allow me to elaborate.
The only issue, really, was that the designated folder actually had older (non-working) files in it. I simply had to delete them to be allowed installation.

Apple Mobile Device Support Will NOT Install - Win 8 OS

I uninstalled EVERYTHING Apple...all folders, all apple software. I went through my computer and everything was removed. I did not go through the registry and remove anything so that may be where the problem is.
I looked in programs and features and there is no "Apple Mobile Device Support" installed.
It's as if it will not install, no matter what I do.
I think it may be a registry issue in Win 8 but not sure.
I have looked all over for a solution but to no avail. I uninstalled everything, reinstalled iTunes, I even tried to installed the .exe specifically for Apple Mobile Device Support and it rolled back, refusing to install it. I have tried updating drivers. My iPhone does show up in Task manager as well.
Under device manager, my iPhone
I follwed this >link< and did exactly what it said to do but still didn't work.
I have a feeling there is no solution to this one. Any other suggestions? Is there a way to remove more apple software including in the registry?
I appreciate any feedback. If anybody else has had this issue and have a proven method to resolve it, PLEASE share.
Thanks again!

I have the same problem with Win7. Did uninstall so many times now I can do it in my sleep. I did one thing which seemed to work for a while. After I uninstalled itunes 11, I reinstalled the earlier version. That brought back the Apple Mobile Device Support feature. Then I updated itunes to the latest version. Then I get the same message about amds not the latest version and uninstall itunes etc...(evern though when I check amds IS the latest version). It's a merry go round. Can't sync my iphone 4s or iPad 3. I finally got rid of itunes 11.1.1. Guess I just have to sit back and wait for a while until the new version comes out or until someone figures out a solution.

IPhone 4s will not install the 7.0.3 Software Update.

I have an iPhone 4s. It will not install the 7.0.3 Software Update (nor would it install the one prior). However, my friend who has the exact same phone, with at least double the pictures, and probably about 10 more apps, had no problem doing so, though she bought more storage anway and suggested I do the same. I bought the 10gb, for a total of 15 on my phone, deleted the few apps I had, and started to do backups to icloud.
Not only are my images missing from icloud when I log in (even though when I check the icloud settings in my phone they should be backing up), but I still have not been able to do the Software Update. When I go to 'Storage and Backup' in my phone it says 'Total Storage: 15.0 gb', and 'Available: 2.3 gb'. These numbers never seem to change, regardless of doing backups and deleting things.
Does anyone know why this is happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
1. Why aren't my pictures there when I log in to icloud?
2. Why can't I update my phone?

Having more storage in your iCloud account does not expand the storage on your phone. If you don't have enough free space on your phone to update, you'll have to delete some data to do so (such as deleting all your music, then syncing it back to your phone after you update).
Also, backing up your photos to iCloud only allows you to restore them to your phone later if you ever need to, it doesn't allow you to access the photos from iCloud. It also doesn't give you more space on your phone as it only backs up your photos, it doesn't delete them from your phone. If you want your photos in iCloud, turn on photo stream. This will actually take more space on your phone, not less, as you will get a duplicate photo in your photo stream album to the one in your camera roll.
If your storage isn't increasing as you delete data from your phone, try deleting your iCloud backup and backing up again.

Syncing iPhone - applications will not install message

After some trouble with my two month old iPhone4S I did a Master reset after a full backup. Now when I want to restore the application most of them (not all) will not install on the phone. Doing them one by one looks good in iTunes but on the phone I get the message "Application 'xxx' will not install". Any ideas on how to proceed?

If that's my only option then I may just buy it from the App Store and see if that works. It would cost me at least that in gas to get to my "local" Apple store. It just seems weird to me. All of a sudden iPhoto and iMovie stop working. I completely reset my macbook and I still get the same error. I've done the "Hardware Test" and the DVD looks flawless. I'm really just throwing my hands up.

Apple Mobile Device Support will not install! Any answers re rollback issue?

Hi,
Im running Windows 32bit and trying to install the latest Itunes version 10.5.1.42 after a few attempts i have managed to install all of it apart form Application Modbile Device Support (AMDS), therefore meaning that i can not sync with my new Iphone.
Essentialy when it gets to installing AMDS it rolbacks. It can create the folders ok and but does not copy any drivers into the folders. All the other Apple folders in common files directory are ok and populated and work. I tunes work - just doesnt let me connect my phone as AMDS is empty.
I have noticed a few threads regarding this issue over the years and tried lots of the suggestions:
completely uninstalling Itunes and all traces of associated apple products. Manually removing residual files. Done this lots and lots of times, Itunes etc will install, AMDS will not
checked various permissions
Ensured Windows updates are all up to date
Removed other mobile phone software
changed msconfig settings
Im just going around in circles now. I cant bear the thought of running thorugh another uninstall of Itunes and ten watching it install again only to see the roll back bar appear and reverse!
Any idea people?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Mobile Device Support, won't install normally.
In your case I suggest you start with a clean download of the setup file using the direct link. If reinstalling AMDS alone doesn't work try tearing everything down again.
If that fails try the advice on rolling back to the last build of iTunes that worked for you.

Iphone driver will not install

i have just bought an iphone 3GS on ebay.plugged it in to itunes to restore it. the data was wipped and i got a message saying driver not installed. iphone is now not recognised in itunes or my computer and says in recovery mode in device manager. phone now does not work. help

Hopefully you didn't buy a jailbroken iPhone or you may never get it working (a reason to avoid buying on on ebay). If Windows does not recognize the phone (it isn't shown in device manager), check item number 4 at the bottom of this guide (Apple Mobile Device USB Driver): http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. If Windows does recognize it but iTunes doesn't, then work through the other troubleshooting steps in this guide, particularly items 2& 3 at the bottom (Apple Mobile Device Service).

My iPhone 4 will not install iOS 5.1.1

I have tried numerous times since the update was available and it always says "Unable to Install Update. An error occured installing iOS 5.1.1" I am connected to the internet, so do not understand the problem.
I have also tried downloading the update from my laptop but it will not let me do so through that either.

I had this problem with an iOS update once. It would download most of the way (thus eating up my quota), then bug out before the end.
Suggestions at the time ranged from trying another day (in case the update servers were overloaded) to asking my nearest Apple Store to download and install the update for me.
My nearest Apple Store was 250km away, but yours might be closer. Or the download might work better on another day.
Good luck. :)

IPhone drivers will not install (windows 7)

Haya there,
I have around 1100 photo's on my iPhone and I was planning to save some on my harddisc so I could free up some space on my phone itself.
Easiest way to do this is plug it in, open the iPhone as a flash drive and drag and drop really.
Now here is my issue:
When I plug in my iPhone it says the drivers have failed to install.
the "Apple Mobile Devive USB Driver" gets installed without any problems. However when it gets to the installing of the iPhone itself it fails.
Meaning, I CAN acces my iPhone trough iTunes just fine. Just not as a flash drive on windows.
Things I have tried:
I've uninstalled both the iPhone and apple mobile device drives, reinstalled them but with the reoccuring same error.
I've uninstalled and re-installed iTunes, downloaded it from the website to make sure I have the newest version.
I've uninstalled and re-installed my USB hub drivers as this was something someone mentioned while I was googling the problem.
I've tried plugging it into different USB ports on my pc, but with the same error when it tried to install the drivers.
I've restarted my pc multiple times in the vein hope that the magic of the restart would cure all.
Noticable:
I've plugged in my phone onto my old laptop (windows vista) and the phone got recognised there without problems. So the problem will be within my desktop, not the phone or cable.
- I use a desktop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit with Service Pack 1
- I'm running iTunes version 11.0.2
I know I can transfer the photo's to my pc using my photostream. At this very moment Im transfering the photo's to my laptop as it is working on there. Where Ill dump them on my external harddisc. But I still want the problem fixed for next time. I should be able to just plug in my phone and get acces to my photo's even when there is no wifi around or when I dont have my laptop at hand.
Thank you in advance for your help

Firefox home will not install on my iPhone

Firefox Home shows up as "purchased" in my apps listings for/on my iPhone 3G but will not install on my phone either through iTunes syncing or through my iPhone apps application. What is wrong? All other apps install, deinstalled, and reinstall fine. The app used to work fine, but one day I noticed it was missing from my phone and now it won't reload.

Strange - You can't even install it directly on the phone from the App Store. Have a look [http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702 this Apple troubleshooting article]. Beyond that, Apple would probably be better equipped to help you.
Let us know if you have any new information.

Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
