Setup keeps asking me to verify that I have "sufficient privaleges to start system services".
How do I get iTunes to install when I get this message? I tried unistalling and reinstallin 3 times. Same message every time. This only became a problem w/ the latest itunes update.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.
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.

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?

Hi, I'm trying to re-install the latest iTunes on my Gateway w/ Windows XP. I had to update it a while back to put songs on my brother's iPod, but my computer froze halfway through and nothing has worked right since.
I keep getting the message "Service 'Bonjour Service' (Bonjour Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
I looked through older discussions that told me to go to right click My Computer - Manage - Services and Applications - Services - Find Bonjour and restart it.
Well, the only option that I can click on is Start. When I do, it says "Windows could not restart the Bonjour Service service on Local Computer. Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified."
Where do I go from here? Help would be greatly appreciated, I've been trying to fix this for over a year now with no dice. Also, I cannot do a factory reset (last effort) because it says the administor's account is disabled and I do not have the disc.Sorry if double posting is a no-no here, but I forgot to add that I've already tried disabling Spyware Doctor.

Hello, I am having trouble re-installing itunes on my PC. error message keep popping up "Apple mobile device failed to start, verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
The thread mentioned above now has some out of date direct links. This is a more recent version of that post...
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

I am trying to download iTunes but it keeps saying I have to verify that I have sufficient privileges to start system services. I have downloaded iTunes without a problem before, and I'm the only user on my computer so I obviously have suffucient privileges.
fhdNKS, how did you fix it? I'm getting the same error message and can't figure it out. I've seen this question several other times on this forum too. Thanks!

I could not access itunes so i uninstalled it. Apple website suggested that i also delete certain Program files. I tried to delete Bonjour but was told that I was not able to do that. So I tried to install itunes but got the message that Service "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. I was given 3 options to click, Abort, Retry, Ignore. None of these options go ne further. Wondering what to do next. Since I uninstalled itunes I get message after I boot up the PC "MCVCRS is missing - try einstalling the programme" could this be part of my problem?

I recently purchased an Iphone 3gs, and already have an itunes account...Itunes wont recognize my iphone...I have uninstalled and installed itunes 2 times and 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.
How do I correct?I had the same problem but managed to fix it with Amy ; the apple advisor. Here are the steps!
First of all, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed. You can download it from here. These instructions will NOT work for iTunes 8, 9 or 10 anymore. If you’re unsure, just uninstall iTunes then re-install with the latest files.
Next, you need to manually copy the Mobile Device Support directory from a working machine to your Windows 7 computer. Luckily, I have conveniently provided these files for you. You can download them here:
64-Bit iTunes 11.0.2: Please click here to download this directory for 64-bit Windows.
32-Bit iTunes 11.0.2: Please click here to download this directory for 32-bit Windows.
Once you download that file, you need to Unzip it to this directory. IMPORTANT: Make sure you unzip the CONTENTS of the zip file, don’t just copy over the zip file:
32-Bit: Unzip to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
64-Bit: Unzip to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple
There are a large number of files in that directory, so it may take a little time, please be patient.
So, after unzipping, you should have a new folder “Mobile Device Support” in the Apple folder
64-BIT ONLY STEP: If you have 32-bit Windows, skip this step. It seems that Apple has put the “Drivers” in a separate location (don’t know why). You will need to download the drivers separately. Please click here to download the files for 64-bit Windows.
Once downloaded, you need to Unzip it to this directory. IMPORTANT: Make sure you unzip the CONTENTS of the zip file, don’t just copy over the zip file:
Unzip to: C:\Program FIles\Common Files\Apple
So, after unzipping, you should have a new folder “Mobile Device Support” in the Apple folder
Next, we have to merge the registry entries that will install the Apple Mobile Device service.
First, download the registry entries that I have provided for you here:
64-bit iTunes 11.0.2: Click here to download the registry entries for 64-bit Windows.
32-bit iTunes 11.0.2: Click here to download the registry entries for 32-bit Windows.
After you download the registry entries ZIP file, unzip it to your desktop and double-click each to install it. Say “Yes” to any prompts or confirmations about adding it to the registry. There are 2 entries, make sure you click BOTH and add BOTH to the registry.
Now, we need to install the correct driver for your iPhone / iTouch. Windows 7 incorrectly identifies the device as a digital camera. To fix this:
- Plug in your iPhone / iTouch (don’t have iTunes loaded at this time)
- Go to Device Manager (Click Start, right-click Computer, then click Properties. In the window that appears choose “Device Manager” on the left)
- Scroll down and find “Apple iPod” or “Apple iPhone” or “Apple iTouch”. It will likely be under the “Portable Devices” category.IMPORTANT NOTE: If your device is already listed under “Universal serial Bus Controllers” and not Portable Devices, you can skip these steps and go to Step 7.
- Right-click the Apple device and choose “Update Driver Software…”
- Choose “Browse my computer for driver software” in the window that appears
- It will ask you for a location; you want to Browse to this folder (location is the same in 32 and 64 bit Windows):
32-bit and 64-bit: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
- Click Next
- It should find the driver for your device; let it install that driver
Once you complete these steps, reboot your computer. Once you reboot everything should work exactly as expected! -
