    Yes another user with problem with Apple Mobile Device Support, I am getting the error message: Service 'Apple Mobile Device'(Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Vertify that you have sufficient privileges to start system service....I hit retry and it came up again. I hit ignore and it prompted me to hit finish so Itunes can open.   I looked thru alot of these posts on here to try and resolve this problem myself but it's not working too well...I downloaded Itunes to my desktop so I can right click it with the program i downloaded called WinRAR. I extracted it and then went into the folder called Itunes64setup. I saw the file called AppleMobileDeviceSupport64 in there so I began to try and download it on it's own. Well that didn't work as I planned and got this error message:
    Apple Mobile Device Support wasn't installed on your computer. The installer encountered errors before Apple Mobile Device Support could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time,please run the installer again.
    Well I tried to run it again and came up with the same message...I see that some people got great support to help them so I am hoping someone can help me as well. I know "b nor" is very qualfied and hopefully can help me! Please advise what I can do. Thank you

    Hi bluebanana 66,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    There are a few reasons why you might receive this message after installing iTunes. You may need to verify that iTunes has been completely removed before trying to install again. See this article for the steps to completely remove and reinstall iTunes:

    Hello PaulHeartattack,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
    1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
    2. Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled
    3. Reinstall iTunes and related components
    If the Apple Mobile Device Service still will not start, this could be caused by third-party security software. Please follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Best of luck,

  • Problem installing Apple Mobile Device Support with iTunes 11.1

    I am running Windows 8 and was running the previous version of iTunes along with support for my iPad2, iPhone4s and iPhone5.  Everything was working perfectly. 
    Yesterday, I performed the OTA upgrade of ios7 on my iPhone5.  When I connected the phone to my PC, iTunes said that I needed to upgrade to 11.1.  So I did, except that it rolled back saying that it was unsuccessful and to try again.  I then downloaded the standalong iTunes64 installer.   The new version of iTunes installed, however the Mobile Device Support was not working.  iTunes did not recognize the phone and Windows device manager showed a driver problem.
    So, I then followed the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to uninstall all things Apple from my PC.  I then rebooted/reinstalled.  Same thing happened.  I uninstalled everything a second time, and then went thru the registry searching for "apple" and "mobile device" and removed all references.  This took a while.  I rebooted and reinstalled once again.  Same thing once more.  I then extracted the files from the iTunes64 installation exe and attempted to install just the mobiledevicesupport.msi.  It keeps rolling back with an unspecified error.   The error code in the Windows event log is 1603.
    I then unpacked the mobiledevicesupport.msi file, went to device manager and told it to find the driver, pointing it directly at the new driver files.  No good, I get some "operation not supported" type message.
    I am out of things to try.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    So, all is done!
    With the "Microsoft Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe)"
    I could clean uninstall the "Apple Mobile Device Support".
    Hope, this will help other people.

    I am trying to uninstall itunes and at thepiont where I try to remove apple mobile device support it never completes the timer goes backwards?

    First try a repair install of Apple Mobile Device Support. If that goes through successfully, see if you can now uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support.
    If the Repair install doesn't help, try using the fixit from the following Microsoft document to remove Apple Mobile Device Support:

  • How do I resolve an MS Windows iTunes update issue with Apple Mobile Device"?

    I am receiving the following error message when updating iTunes to v. 11.1.4:
    Service "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start.  Verify you have sufficient privileges to start service.
    How do I resolve the problem?

    I resolved this myself by uninstalling ALL Apple programs and reinstalling the iTunes software.  No files were lost and account sync worked as before.

  • Errors with Apple Mobile Device Support- won't install!

    I've been grappling with getting iTunes 9 to recognize my iPhone for a month now (BUT iPod mini is syncing fine.) After multiple troubleshooting efforts with this forum, Apple Support articles, and actual Apple employees, I finally realized the error is with AMDS. In the times I've tried reinstalling iTunes, everything except AMDS was fine. For AMDS, it would always say "Rolling back action".
    So I decided to extract the iTunes setup file, access AMDS.msi and repair/reinstall. Didn't work because it rolled back again. Took more tips reading other threads by uninstalling, rebooting, and installing AMDS, but STILL rolling back. I even renamed the Apple file (ProgramFiles/CommonFiles/Apple I believe) and it's still rolling back! I have no idea why.
    Plus in my Common Files I have multiple Apple files. There's Apple, Apple(2) and Apple(5). I tried renaming all of those and still get the rolling back and error message from AMDS. Any ideas?

    Okay ... so it's not (or at least, vastly less likely to be) shonky AMDS installation configuration information that we're dealing with here.
    Right ... let's try making some forward progress again. (Best to print out a copy of the instructions ... you won't be able to use a browser at one point in proceedings.)
    First, navigate to the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ folder. If it is present, delete the *Mobile Device Support* folder.
    Now, uninstall your iTunes.
    Now, download and save a copy of the iTunes installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line, and don't install from the downloaded file just yet.)
    Reboot the PC. Don't open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Disable your Security Software (antivirus, firewall, antispyware).
    Now start the iTunes install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe you downloaded earlier.
    After the install attempt, you can reenable your Security software and then reconnect to the internet.
    ... Any better luck with that install attempt?

  • MAIL PROBLEM with my Mobile devices including IPAD

    I do not know if this has been discussed or resolved. Some of my mails which I receive does not appear neither on my ipad (2), iphone 3g, iphone 4, altgough I can receive all my mails on my MAC. This has been the problem since I have bought these devices, and have been waiting since than to be resolved. I tried to use 'Sparrow App' but that does not work also. However, webmail++ app works since it reachs all of my mails directly from web server.

    I don't think I've done things like that, it's too coicidental that I restrict both iPhone and iPad, accidentally.
    by the way, how can you restrict it and how to release it.
