Itunes 12 won't load Apple Mobile Device - says I dont have sufficient privliges

Hi
I have tried to install iTunes 12 but it hangs when trying to install the Apple Mobile Device.
Service "Apple Mobile Device" (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient priviliges to start system services.
Abort Retry Ignore
Whatever I try fails and even after removing all details and files as Apple says it still doesn't work. Even going back to 11.4 fails in the same place and "Access is Denied" if I try and start the Apple Mobile Device Service.
It doesn't then find my iPhone, so I am stuck.
Anyone got any ideas. I have tried all the uninstalling and reinstalling several times now.
Chris...

I had the same problem. Use the uninstall feature to delete all of the Apple related programs that came with the recent download. There should be 3. Check the dates they were installed to be sure.
DO NOT DELETE any folders manually unless you want to lose playlists, etc.
Reboot your computer then reinstall. It worked like a charm for me!

  • Reinstalling iTunes and getting message "service 'apple mobile device'failed to start.Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services"

    Reinstalling iTunes and getting message "service 'apple mobile device'failed to start.Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services"

    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.

  • 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,
    Stuart

    Found 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.

  • Itunes 11.1 will not load apple mobile device

    Hi
    I downloaded i tunes 11.1 yessterday after upgrading my devices to iOS7.
    Initially 11.1 would not load stating errors were causing a rollback.
    I managed to get 11.1 loaded but now, no devices are recognised.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 11.1 but no joy as after checking, I no no longer have Apple Mobile device listed anywhere in the common files.
    I have tried to download and install each individual part of the itunes package  which is okay until i try to install just the Apple Mobile device part whereby again, it just loads then rolls back stating errors.
    I have run registry cleaners after this and again tried re installing...nothing.
    It seems after looking here that i may need the Mobile device driver but, I cant seem to find, let alone be able to load it on my laptop...
    Has anyone got any ideas please, as after three hours of trying, its starting to get just a little annoying now??
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    thanks but, this is for a Mac system and i have Windows 8.
    I have already tried deletng everything which is by Apple from the pc and reinstalled i tunes....
    Unfortunately, its still the same
    hence, its getting annoying ....

    A few days ago, my 3rd Gen ipod touch wasn't syncing to itunes. I would get a message like "Apple Mobile Device Support has failed to start. Please uninstall AMDS and itunes.." So I did all that today, followed the instructions on the Apple support site, and now I'm getting this message when I try to reinstall itunes. "Apple Mobile Device failed to star, verify you have sufficient privileges to start system resources. " I can still skip the step and install it, but then my ipod still won't connect.

  • When dowloading itunes, constantly get error message 'Apple Mobile Device -could not be installed- Verify you have sufficient privileges to install system services.

    When downloading itunes to my pc, get error message 'Apple mobile device could not be installed - verify you have sufficient privileges to install system services'
    i am forced to abort/cancel. Can anyone help please?

    Me too. And if someone comes back on here with the same solution of "uninstall and re-install", please provide further advice after you have done that 3 times and the program still has the same problem in addition to the "failure to load the C runtime library" R6034 issue. I have removed itunes 3 times however I do not have permission to remove the program files/apple file and the uninstall doesn't remove it.
    You're not alone buddy.

  • IPhone 3GS iOS 4.2 - iTunes Update 10.2 killed Apple Mobile Device USB Driv

    I have Windows 7 64-bit professional. This morning I received notice that I needed to update my iTunes software to current version. When I ran the update, the USB connection no longer would recognize the phone.
    Multiple attempts to repair, even reinstall iTunes, ALL Apple software per Apple Support articles has failed. I cannot sync my phone to the computer to update the sofware. Even after a clean install with virus software turned off, and manual attempt to update the driver, I still see the yellow exclamation point in the Device Manager for Windows.
    There appears to be an issue with the update released last night and Windows 7 64-bit systems. My iPhone and iTunes were working fine until then, sync everything worked good.
    Anyone have any suggestions. I understand from a search on the Internet that this is a common problem and that Apple does not have the ability to separately install a current Windows USB Driver that actually works if you have this problems.

    Here is what worked for me on a Windows Vista System. I had ssue with both 10.2.1 and later 10.2.2 and have been on this site daily since release of 10.2. Finally I found something that worked for me. I am using iPhone 3G Version  4.2.1 seems Apple stops there for me so hopefully I won't need to update iTunes again.
      Completely uninstall the current version of Itunes including Apple Mobile Device Support, You will find it after going to Computer, Make sure you delete both of them.
    Next install the latest version of itunes from the apple website. Make sure to download the correct one as there is both the 32 bit and 64 available.
    Now the problem with AMDS might still persisit as it did for me. So you want to uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support (again), you will find that after going to computer and uninstall programs. Note: At this point I found 10.2.2 at least gave me impression AMDS was at least now running however iTunes crawled when opening, froze for minutes when I connected iPhone and failed to see any device connected when it was again running. So do not stop as I did the problem may still be AMDS and only AMDS.
    Next install itunes 10.0.1  http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php , Just scroll down until you see 10.0.1
    Save it to your desktop or somewhere visible.
    Next install UniExtract
        http://www.legroom.net/software/uniextract
    After the installation is complete go to where you save your itunes file, right click and click on uniextract
    files.
    Press Ok and make sure its set to your desktop.
        On the next screen when prompted to choose an extract method, choose "Not an Installshield
        installer".
    Next open the folder you extracted and go to Apple Mobile Device Support and install it. Once complete
        Restart your computer and it should work.
    Good Luck! It only took me 21 days to find something here that worked. Now I am hoping it can help someone else.  If not, well there is always tomorrow and someone may find another solution it seems 10.2 is not the best for all.

    Has your windows previously installed itunes?
    Do uninstall all other apple programs such as
    Apple Application Support
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Apple Software Update
    Bonjour
    these programs above doesn't remove together with itunes.
    remove these programs and make a reboot for ur windows.
    then download the latest itunes and install.
