ITunes update wouldn't update nor will it reinstall

I attempted to update my iTunes.  The update didn't take.  I tried to repair it several times, no luck.  I uninstalled iTunes on my computer, tried to reinstall. No luck.  Get getting stuck on the following message:  "Service "Apple Mobile Device" (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start systems services." 
Not sure what any of that means.  Please help!!!!

The phone app seemed to work fine and i was able to make calls. Home just always sent me to favorites and it wouldn't sleep. I'd left my power cords at work, so it basically drained the battery all the way down and then when i plugged it in today, it seems to work fine (it started with the apple logo, so i assume it was reset). This is only the eighth day i've owned it, so i'm a little frustrated. It is 2.1 (it was 2.0 for one nightmarish day).
I'm worried that it's going to start doing it more often, or, like Siedneck's phone, just not come back to life at all.
One other point: i had to force quit the photo downloader earlier in the day while the phone was connected; i wonder if that had to do with it's erratic behavior...?
Thanks for the help...

  • TS1702 Thanks. I had 6 Apps that needed updating on my iPad original.  I hit "Update All" and that ruined four Apps.  They won't download the updates, nor will they launch and be useable either.  I lost Splashtop 2, Bible!, and Mercury Browser!  Suggestio

    Am I the only fool who clicked on update all when my iPad told me updates were available?  Two updates loaded just fine, but the other four never updated and now lie useless and grayed out.

    Your signature in 1st post was 10.8.2.
    You went backwards?
    Did you reformat and reinstall when you first purchased it?
    If not I HIGHLY recommend you do that before you do anything else.

  • Since iTunes update it will not open & it fouls up internet

    Since my iTunes automatically updated it will not open. When I try to open it my web browser no longer works. I have to reboot the computer in order to use my web browser. When I tell the computer to restart it gives me a "QT Helper is not responding" message.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Quick Time and iTunes both, with no positive resolution. Is this a problem others are having and is there a fix for it. I REALLY miss my iTunes!

  • MSVCR80.dll file missing (after latest iTunes update).  Unable to reinstall iTunes either.  Fixes?

    After installing the latest iTunes update, I am unable to open iTunes (The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer).  Plugging in my iDevices won't prompt iTunes to open, either (they are viewed only as mass storage devices).  I attempted to reinstall iTunes, but recieved an error message that said I had insufficient rights to install (I am an administrator).  Is anyone else having similar problems?  Is there a way to fix it that won't include uninstalling the current version of iTunes?  Don't want to lose all my files!  Thanks for a rapid response, Community.  I appreciate all the help I can get.

    You appear to have a second generation iPod touch, not a third, and those can't be updated past 4.2.1. Apple sold 8GB second generation models at the same time as the third generation ones.

  • I have an ipod touch that was set up on this computer. It is a mac. It hasn't had an update in a while and it needs an update to update apps and download new apps. It will not show up in itunes to get the update, nor will it let me update on the iPod. ???

    I have an ipod touch that was set up on this computer. There are other ipods hooked up on this one, but this one won't work. it hasn't had an update in a while, and it won't let me update it because it won't connect to itunes, or show up on the computer. There is no place that says there is a software update on the ipod. I was wondering how to get it updated or at least get it connected to itunes?

  • HT4623 Itunes update failed; tried to reinstall; get error message that I need to confirm I have authority to run the program?

    I plugged my iPad to my computer this morning and it said there was a new version of IOS available. Tried to install.
    Install failed.
    Now itunes won't open:  "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
    Went to www.itunes.com, downloaded and tried to install.  Install failis saying I need to verify that I have credentials to run the program. Choices: Abort, Try again, Ignore.  Needless to say the only choice that works in Abort, so I can't connect my iPad to iTunes.
    Is there a way to uninstall the program and then try again?
    Or other fix?

  • Can't install iTunes updates or even uninstall/reinstall program - help!

    I'm running iTunes 10.1.2.17 on XP but cannot upgrade to latest version. Neither can I uninstall and reinstall from scratch. Despite closing all other programs, I keep getting a message saying, 'the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.' It then says, 'click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi'. I've tried uninstalling it using the XP Control Panel and also Piriform's CCleaner but either way I hit the same problem. Here's hoping someone can advise! Thanks!

    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 iTunes 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.)

  • ITunes wont redeem my code, nor will it tell me it's invalid.

    Hi guys,
    I bought a $25 dollar iTunes gift card today, and when I try to redeem it, nothing happens. I still have the same amount of money in my account. I click the "redeem" button/tab and at the top it says "Accessing iTunes Store" and nothing happens, or else I'll click "redeem" and no "Accessing iTunes Store" message appears at the top of the window. I don't get any "invalid code" messages either.

  • My Itunes was uninstalled and now it will not reinstall

    I have emptied my temp folder, removed all of itunes components and tried to download several times.  It always says, after I download, that it is untrusted. When I click run, nothing happens.

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
