Itunes is not installing it keeps on saying that the service Apple mobile device has failed to start and I need to verify that I have Authorization. It then has 3 options, Retry, Ignore, or Abort, and every time I click retry or ignore nothing happens.
Like I said every time I try to install Itunes It then has 3 options, Retry, Ignore, or Abort. Any ideas on what I have to do to get it to work?

Initially iTunes would not run although it had been running quite well up until now. Suddenly received this error on PC start-up "The program can't start because MSVC80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." Research on Net pointed me to iTunes as the issue. Tried to start iTunes and received that message again. Tried installing latest version of 64-bit iTunes and received the subject message part way through the install: Trying to install latest iTunes for Windows 7 64-bit. Keep getting this error message "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
iTunes has been running great on this PC for years. What's up?

The service "Apple Mobile Device" may not have unregistered....
For a long time I have not been able to get the pic off my Iphone. It syncs up to Itunes but the camera wizard no longer turns on. In mt computer it is not there.
In my hardware device manager under imaging devices the Iphone has a yellow exclamation point. Apple Mobile driver is fine but my PC will not allow me to un-install, roll back or reinstall, I always get an error... it states data in invalid or this device is need to boot up the PC.
I have tried reseting, un-installing and the re-installing all that is apple, and even cleaning my regs.
In my event viewer for PlayandPlug manger I have an error that states...
"The service "Apple Mobile Device" may not have unregistered for device event notifications before it was stopped."
I also can not delete C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
I tells me it is protect or in use even after everything apple is no longer on my PC.
Any help would be grateful and for those who also suffer this problem I feel your pain.Hi gottsbett,
What security software is running on your PC? Try reconfiguring, temporarily disabling, or uninstalling it.
Try restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495
If the issue persists after disabling the security software and attempting to restart the service, try completely removing and reinstalling iTunes as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926

Normal update of iTunes to 11.1.4 fails. Suggests installing from web site
I install from iTunes.com. Install issues the messages:
Service "Apple Mobile Device' failed to start.
Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services
I do have necessary privilegs. I hit ignore. See window with successful install come up and finish with launch. I get the messages:
iTunes was not installed correctly.
Please reinstall iTunes
Error 7 (Windows error 126)
Tring to start iTunes from desktop gives:
This application failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found
Re-installing the application may fix the problem.
Further repair or remove/reinstall does not fix the problem (including after reboot)
Thie is the first time this has happened. I'm not sure where to go from here
Thanks for any help.Earlier suggestion worked. That is, Use software add/remove to delete all 5 iTunes applications:
Apple Application Support
Apple Mobile Device Support
Aple Sortware Update
Bonjour
iTunes
Reboot and install/ -
I am trying to install itunes but at the status of 'Starting Services' it tells me that 'Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". I clicked retry and ignore button but same result. What shoud I do?
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. -
I am the only user for my computer, and consequently the administrator. If I go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services and try to manually start the service, I immediately get the following error message: "Windows could not start the Apple Mobile Device service on Local Computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion." I have tried following the steps advised by others online who also have received this message, but to no avail.
On the Apple error message, I have three options: Abort, Retry, or Ignore. Abort, obviously, causes the installation process to cease. Retry brings up the same message again. Ignore causes the installation to finish, but then I receive this message: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)."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. -
Not sure what to do. I've tried a system restore on my computer after the update in hopes of undoing the problem, that didn't work. I've tried to install, the new version of itunes for over two days now and I get to the point where it says "starting services" and it almost get's done and then it gives me that message " Service apple mobile device (apple mobile device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privledges to start system services." Then it gives me three options to click on "abort", "retry" or "ignore". I've tried to retry over and over and it does no good, I just get the same message. I've tried ignore and the one time it did finish installing itunes, it didn't work, I got error messages telling me that it failed to download properly and I needed to delete the program and download it again. I thought maybe it had something to do with my ipod not being pluged into the computer so I pluged that it and it's still giving me the same message. I just don't know what to do. I'm very frustrated and I would really appreciate it if someone could help me. I'm completely out of ideas.

OK, spent about 25 frustrating hours so far this weekend doing everything recommended on numerous threads here -- uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and all Apple items. Help?
I am using Windows Vista home premium. After the last iTunes update to 12, it suddenly would not work. I followed, to a T, all instructions to uninstall all Apples software, in the correct order, reboot, download the latest iTunes, run as administrator, plug in the iPhone 5S, let the driver install, and then finish.
Along the way, I received the error that "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." I am the administrator and have privileges. (I previously followed instructions from anther thread to change the read-only privileges for Apple folders, but to no avail. I also deleted every file with the word Apple in it after I uninstalled everything.) I did a retry and then an ignore during installation of the AMD error, which I have received 10 times.
The other error I keep getting is: "iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7." I have done that 20 times.
Other frequent error: "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 998)."
I followed other threads suggestions to install Windows .NET versions 3.5 and 4.0. No help. I also looked for various specific Apple files in various folders for DLLs, etc. Not present. I have rebooted 50 times and tried different users on my home account as well. Nothing.
I also followed instructions to Manage my computer under "services." Under Apple Mobile Device, the setting is for "automatic." When I try to get it to "start," the error I receive is "Windows could not start the Apple Mobile Device on Local Computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion." (I followed previous thread instructions to use the CMD prompt to stop it. That caused problems because the status was then "stopped," but I was able to restart it later once I figured that out -- but with the 1053 error again.)
I think I've tried every suggestion in every thread for the four errors I keep getting (AMD failed to start; iTunesHelper Error 7; Windows error 998; and AMD Error 1053.) I am fresh out of ideas and very frustrated. I mostly want to make sure I don't lose my music and photos, which I was about to sync.
The only other thing I see that is strange on my computer (which I discovered along the way) is that I cannot receive automatic windows updates and have not had an update since 2012. My iTunes worked a month ago, so that was obviously not a show-stopper in the past, but perhaps there is a Vista update I need for iTunes 12? I have service pack 2 for Vista. I have followed all threads to try to set my windows to automatic update, but no joy there either. It checks for updates and then fails. I followed instructions and did run an installation to install windows automatic updates, but that doesn't work either. I tried 10 times. It runs and takes a while, but is never able to successfully update windows. It says "checking for updates" for a while. Then it dies. My last update was 6/19/12 (failed) and it says the most recent check was 6/22/12, but I have tried 20 times on 10/31/14 and 11/1/14.
When asked to "Install new Windows Update software" to check for updates, I have done so 10 times. It downloads and installs, but never works.
It's an old Dell desktop computer from 2006, and I'm using an iPhone 5S. I am fresh out of ideas. Anyone really smart here?
Thanks.
TristanUpon latest reboot, I also received this error message: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click OK to terminate the application."
Then I got the iTunesHelper not installed correctly error again.
Then the "Windows can't check for updates" error message.
Then "Apple Push has stopped working." Then a quick DEP error message that disappeared but said something about Apple Push being closed.
I'm also getting denials of service logged by McAffee. Not sure if I'm getting a virus/attack or not.
Not sure if it's a problem with my old desktop machine, my Windows Vista updates, or iTunes, but I'm very frustrated and out of ideas to try.
Thank you for your help!
Tristan
