Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start

Initially, I tried to update my current installed version of iTunes, but it gave me an error message during installation and didn't want to bother trying to figure that out, so I uninstalled and then downloaded the current version of iTunes.  During THAT installation, it is now giving me this message:
Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have suffficient privileges to start system services.
And then gives me the option to "abort," "retry," or "ignore."
I have only one account on my computer, so that's not an issue.  I've tried clicking "retry" and I've tried clicking "ignore," both lead me to the same ending: it returns to the beginning of the installation process and I end up at the same spot.
So my question is, what in the world is this "Apple Mobile Device" (is it my iPhone? It isn't connected at all right now to my computer, if that makes a difference) and what do I need to do to make this error message go away?

  • I got the MSCVR80.ddl message after I tried to do the latest update on Itunes.  I went in and deleted all the related programs and reinstalled, but I keep getting a message during installation that "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Help!

    I was trying to do the latest update on my desktop for my Itunes.  I got MSVCR80.dll is missing.  I saw a post about deleting all the apple itunes programs, restarting and reinstalling.  I tried that.  As it was installing a message came up about "Service'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start systems services.  I did a retry, got the same message, then hit ignore.  It went on.  Then a message popped up saying "Itunes not installed correctly"  Error 7 (Windows error 126)
    Now my Itunes program will not open at all.  What gives?  This is very frustrating and I am not very computer literate to begin with.

  • Error 1920-Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start.

    Hi,
    When ever I try to install the Apple Mobile Device Support this message shows up "Error 1920-Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services".  I have uninstalled itunes multiple times. I have tried only installing the Apple Moblie Devuce Support by doing the extract file from WinRaff. Nothing has worked. Could you please help me? I'm getting relly frusturated with this whole thing. All I want to do is download songs on to my i-pod.
    Thank You,
    Aleida H.

    I guess the short answer is don't try to pass MSI properties to the installer.
    I don't think this is anything your fellow users can help with, but you might want to file a report at Bug Reporter.

  • Can't download iTunes "Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start.

    I have a new computer and I am unable to download iTunes.  I get the following message "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have suffiecient privileges to start system services."  Please note, iTunes is not installed at this point.  Previous discussions have been unhelpful, as they direct me to iTunes files that are currently non-existent due to me not being able to complete installation.
    Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

  • TS3212 I receive a massage that a new version of ITunes was available (11.1.4). I proceeded to update, the download went ok but when installing the Message "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start, verify that you have sufficient Privileges to start

    I receive a massage that a new version of ITunes was available (11.1.4). I proceeded to update, the download went ok but when installing the Message “Service ’Apple Mobile Device’ failed to start, verify that you have sufficient Privileges to start system Services”
    On pressing retry I got the same message.
    On pressing Ignore, I got the message “ITunes was not installed correctly, please reinstall ITunes – Error 7 – (windows error 126)
    I reinstalled with the same error messages and the same results.
    I uninstalled existing and reinstalled from scratch and the same error messages again.
    I try to repair and at the end it said it had installed correctly – but when it tried to start I got the message “This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem” I now get the same message when I first start the computer but when I press ok I receive ““ITunes was not installed correctly; please reinstall ITunes – Error 7 – (windows error 126)” again.
    It appears the update has not only corrupted the operating system (Xp Pro SP3) of my computer but I have no backups to my IPhone, my wife’s IPhone or the three others phones that use my computer.
    I hope you can advise me how to recover my backups

  • Service "apple mobile device" failed to start. verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services?????

    this is the message i received while installing iTunes "Service "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start. verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". I had to uninstall and then reinstall iTunes because something wrong happened with the update.
    please help me!

    Did you tear down iTunes and other software? Did you reinstall using administrator priveliges?
    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.

    Has your windows previously installed itunes?
    Do uninstall all other apple programs such as

    these programs above doesn't remove together with itunes.
    remove these programs and make a reboot for ur windows.
