Itunes 10.6.1 And Apple Mobile Support
I've been at this for 5 hours, and I'm taking my pride away and going to the forums for some help
I just received an iPod Touch 3.x.x from my friend, and when I hook it up to my desktop, the classic error "The iPod you connected cannot be used because you do not have the required software" comes up. I know what's missing is Apple Mobile Support, and I need help installing it. I've done everything on Itunes(Itunes installs perfectly except for this one thing) and I get this error all the time.
I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit(Program Files x86 if that helps draw a better picture). Please, if there are any fixes or common threads, please direct me there, or walk me through a fix.
Irony.
When I connect this to my laptop, it works fine. I just dont have any music on that laptop to drag onto my touch.
Also, I forgot to mention, during the installer, it says Service "AMDS" has failed to start. Verify you have sufficient..
Yes I know this has been asked before, that's why I need your help now!

Not being able to use my phone and went to the apple store and had them restore it. When that happened it of
Course deleted all my stuff on my phone. When I was talking to apple support on the phone they told
Me that my computer was not downloading mobile me or apple mobile support. I've never had problems before until I tried updating it. So now Ive tried
Reinstalling iTunes and my computer will not dl mobile me or apple mobile support. I went to their support online and followed some
Of their stuff to try to fix and disabled Something and it told me to restart my computer and so I did and now I can't find the page where it was giving me the directions for it bc when I disabled programs it somehow disabled to where I can't get on the Internet. My phone works fine now just don't have my numbers, music, apps, ringtones pictures etc. The problem is now my computer, iTunes, my Internet connection, and mobile me and apple mobile software.

ITunes for Windows, QuickTime, and Apple Application Support
Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below. Apple encourages you to first seek a solution at Apple Support. The following links are provided as is, with no guarantee of the effectiveness or reliability of the information. Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
*The relationship between iTunes for Windows and QuickTime for Windows*
Conceptually, you don't go too far wrong thinking of iTunes for Windows as a gigantic QuickTime for Windows plug-in. QuickTime for Windows provides the audio and video playback capabilities for iTunes for Windows, the codecs iTunes for Windows uses for importing and burning CDs, and so forth.
So, under normal circumstances, if you uninstall your QuickTime for Windows your iTunes for Windows will no longer launch. The exception is if you install a different application such as QuickTime Alternaltive, which also provides QuickTime playback capabilities. However, most such applications (QuickTime Alternative being a good example) are themselves built from actual QuickTime program files. So there's really no getting away from the requirement to have QuickTime for Windows componentry installed on your computer in order to get your iTunes for Windows to launch and run.
In addition to needing some QuickTime for Windows installed on the computer for iTunes for Windows, a given iTunes for Windows version will require *at mininum a particular version* of QuickTime for Windows to be installed on the computer in order for that iTunes for Windows version to run. For example, iTunes for Windows 5.0.0.35 requires at least a release version of QuickTime for Windows 7.0.2 to run correctly, iTunes for Windows 6.0.0.18 requires at least a QuickTime for Windows 7.0.3, and so on. The same applies for solutions involving other programs like QuickTime Alternative. An iTunes for Windows 6.0.0.18 would require an installed version of QuickTime Alternative to made from (at least) QuickTime for Windows 7.0.3 componentry in order for iTunes to run.
The most straightforward way to go about getting your iTunes for Windows launching again after you've uninstalled your QuickTime for Windows is simply to reinstall QuickTime for Windows. You can get the latest version of QuickTime for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 from the following download page at the Apple website. (Use the download link that doesn't mention iTunes.)
[Latest QuickTime for Windows version|http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download>
*The relationship between iTunes and Apple Application Support*
iTunes for Windows uses a number of the same program files as other Apple software for Windows (most notably, QuickTime for Windows and Safari for Windows). Starting with iTunes for Windows version 9.0.0, QuickTime for Windows version 7.6.4, and Safari for Windows 4.0.4, program files common to more than one of the programs have been stored in a single location: "Apple Application Support".
So, if you uninstall your Apple Application Support (using the Add or Remove programs control panel in Windows XP, or using Programs and Features in Windows Vista or Windows 7), your iTunes for Windows 9.0.0 (or higher version) will no longer launch ... because several essential program files for iTunes for Windows 9.0.0 (or higher version) will have been uninstalled.
At the time of writing this user tip, Apple Application Support is not available as a "standalone" download from Apple. It is only available as part of the installer bundles for the most recent versions of iTunes for Windows, Safari for Windows and QuickTime for Windows. So if you have uninstalled your Apple Application Support and your iTunes for Windows 9.0.0 (or higher version) is no longer launching, the most straightforward way of getting your iTunes for Windows launching again is to uninstall your existing version of iTunes for Windows and reinstall the latest version of iTunes for Windows. (The iTunes reinstall should also reinstall your Apple Application Support.)
[Latest iTunes for Windows version|http://www.apple.com/itunes/download>
If, however, you've uninstalled both your Apple Application Support and your QuickTime for Windows, the most straightforward way of getting them both reinstalled is to download the latest QuickTime for Windows installer from the Apple website. (Use the download link that doesn't mention iTunes.)

Do you want to provide feedback on this User Contributed Tip or contribute your own? If you have achieved Level 2 status, visit the User Tips Library Contributions forum for more information.Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -

Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
Since it appears you have done everything else, disable the security software on the computer. -
Had error 7 windows error 126 and missing MSVCR80.dill. Went through the steps to uninstall and apple mobile device would not uninstall. Now I can"t download itunes. Help!!
apple mobile device would not uninstall.
Try using the fixit from the following Microsoft document to remove Apple Mobile Device Support:
Fix problems with programs that can't be installed or uninstalled -
When updating to itune 10.5 I get this error message ,older version of bonjour can not be removed, and older version of apple mobile support cannot be removed, any one know how to fix this.
1) The older version of Bonjour can not be removed. Contact your technical support group.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.) -

Hello- after updating to the new iTunes i got a box saying that i needed a new version of Apple Mobile Device Support and ihat i should uninstall iTunes and Apple Mobile Device Support then install iTunes again. Problem is I have been unable to uninstall itunes, can't find the installation files .msi. I'm using Windows XP.
Help!Problem is I have been unable to uninstall itunes, can't find the installation files .msi.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -

Try this it worked for me Pat Willener gave it to me off the site :
I have not read all you wrote, so I may have missed some points. As I understand it, you installed FP 10 on IE7, but it won't play any Flash content?
Try this
download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
close all browser windows, then run the uninstaller
download the offline ActivX installer for Internet Explorer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe

i'm having issues with reinstalling my itunes.it says that my apple mobile device faild to start and will not go any further
Hey there CrazyTC,
It sounds like you are unable to re install iTunes because the Apple Mobile Device service failed to start. Try restarting it with the following article:
How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567
Windows Vista or Windows 7
Close iTunes and disconnect the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Click the Windows Start button .
In the Start Search field type Services.
In the Programs section of the search results, Click "Services".
Select Apple Mobile Device and click Stop the service as shown below:
After the service has stopped, click Start the service.
After the Apple Mobile Device service has started again, open iTunes and connect the device.
Then if the issue is resolved, set the service to start Automatically with the same article.
If it is still not working, use these steps from the same article to completely uninstall iTunes and its associated applications and install a fresh copy.
Remove and reinstall iTunes and AMDS
If the issue continues after restarting AMDS, then you'll need to remove and reinstall AMDS and iTunes.
Completely uninstall AMDS, iTunes, and all Apple software. Click the appropriate links below for steps:
Windows XP
Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Restart the computer.
Download and install (or reinstall) the latest version of iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes. Installing iTunes will also install AMDS.
Restart the computer.
Start iTunes and connect the device. It should be recognized properly in Windows.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

ITunes requires new version of Apple Mobile Device Support....
Hi - I have just bought an iPod touch. I a;ready have a classic and a nano but as iTunes 9 was out I thought I'd upgrade to that before syncing the new Touch. However now I get the error:-
iTunes requires new version of Apple Mobile Device Support. Please uninstall both Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes, then install iTunes agan.
So I did this following the procedure on the Apple Suport pages which referenced exactly this error message but from an earlier version (7 I think) of iTunes).
Basically, I used control panel to uninstall all the bits (including iTunes, Apple MDS, Quicktime and Bonjour) in the order it says. Rebooted, checked that program folders and files had really gone, downloaded a fresh copy of iTunes and installed - exactly the same error.
My Classic syncs fine. The Touch also syncs fine on a laptop I have on which I have iTunes 9.01 at the moment. The Touch is being detected because I get the USB conect sound and the error message in iTunes pops up as soon as it is connected.
The Apple Mobile Device Service is running (it was not running when I checked staright after the install, but I manually started it (it is set ot Auto start)) using .exe version 2.12.36.0
PC is a Windows Vista 64 running iTunes 9.02. The iTunes pack I downloaded was called iTunes64Setup so I'm guessing its the right one.
I always seem to be tearing my hair out when I get a new iPod or new iTunes. Not much left now so has anyone got any ideas?
Thanks very much,
StuartFound the solution in my case. I followed the Apple uninstall procedure again:-
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
and found that the Apple Mobile Device Support did not uninstall properly. I needed to download an MS utility called Windows Installer Cleaup Utility
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
(there was a post somewhere on here about it so thanks to that person).
When I rebooted, I found however that the Mobile Device Service was still installed and running and the installed files were present in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple.
So I Stopped the service (Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services, Right click on the service and choose Properties, then click Stop. For good measure I also set it to Disabled (overkill) using the dropdown which will probably say Automatic when you look at it.
Then I found a Microsoft utility called SC.exe which is available in the Windows resource kit and can also be found here:-
http://www.petri.co.il/downloadfree_reskittools.htm
This is a command line tool, but easy to use. Unzip the sc.zip file, place sc.exe somewhere handy where you can find it from a command prompt and then open a command line (Start, Run..., type "cmd" Enter). Go to the folder where you put sc.exe and type the command:-
sc delete "Apple Mobile Device" (you need the quotes).
This deletes the service from the services list in the registry (you can check by closing the Services box and opening it again).
Now go to c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files and delete the folder and subfolders called Apple.
OK - should have given your system a full clean out.
Then reinstall iTunes.
That was easy - but I guess I can forgive Apple for not being able to upgrade a version of iTunes without messing up - it's only version 9.0 after all, I'm sure it'll be OK in the next release. Seems like they're learning some tricks from Microsoft.
You folks in the US and Canada are luck however because you can get some help with this stuff. There's no help from Apple if you're in the UK. -

Wont Install APPLE MOBILE support and device
I need help people.. I have had an iphone for over a month now and have never synced this phone with MY computer. I have read many tutorials and even tried something somebody suggested on this forum - Winrar and download each file seperately. i have disabled DEp and UAC functions on windows and even after i did this and tried to install APPLEMOBILESUPORT an error still arises.
I am not usings 64 bit vista and i have read many blogs from people saying they have been successful.. If anyone can help me i would be so happy.
Thanks!Hey sorry - i have been sitting in front of this computer reading and trouble shooting for hours.
I have had this phone for one month.. The day it arrived i installed itunes and when i plugged the phone in itunes did not recognize the phone. Windows recognized it as a camera and that is it. I had to go to a friends house in order to activate my iphone.. I have never synced this phone with my home computer. I have maintained and managed pictures and music using my friends PC.
I am running 32 bit windows vista home edition and when i install itunes there is an error message. I have noticed that the program APPLE MOBILE SUPPORT has not installed. itunes works fine and i have read trouble shooting tutorials for days.
Anyways i came across a thread in this forum which stated a user simply opened the setup.exe file of itunes and extracted each file using WinRar.. I have done this and everything has installed properly except for this file: AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi - when i install this program, right before the finalization it simply says that there was an error and the process rolls back -exactly what would happen when i downloaded itunes - except the rollback simply skipped the installation of the AMDS.msi file and itunes is working perfectly.
I am currently running Windows Vista 32bit Home Edition and i have brand spanking new iphone that will never be hacked. Sorry if i wasnt clear in my first post and i look forward to your reply.
