Apple Mobile Device Suppurt not installing with iTunes 10.6.3

Hey guys, any help with this would be much appreciated., I had an issue a couple of days ago where I couldn't reinstall the latest itunes (10.6.3) I have now managed to install this current version but with one major problem, Apple Mobile Device Support didn't install with it. I tried everything, I've tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling it again with and without the anti virus turned on, I've tried a system restore, I've tried using an old version of Apple Mobile Device Support, and still nothing.
My itunes keeps saying this whenever I plug in my iPad, "This iPad cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes, then install the 64bit version of itunes" I've done that, it didn't work, however, itunes has managed to install successfully on my desktop pc, which is Windows XP, with apple mobile device support, but the machine I'm having trouble installing itunes with Apple Mobile Device Support on is my Laptop which is running Windows 7. I doubt this is a problem with my laptop, the system restore I did confirmed that, and the issue only returned when I tried reinstalling the latest itunes.
Is this problem with Apple Mobile Device Support not installing with the latest itunes a bug? i hope so, because I've read up ways to solve this problem but alot of it gets too technical and I'm not the most technical person when it comes to computers and all that.
Is anyone else having similar problems, if so, how did you solve it?
Thanks, hoping to hear back soon

I've also read somewhere about using Win Rar to extract files to do with apple mobile device support from the itunes installer file, would you recommend that to? I don't really fancy the idea of doing anything that involves my registry because knowing me I'll end up screwing my laptop up for good lol
It's a little more involved than just doing a standalone AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi install, I'm afraid. The relevant drivers in AMDS are not digitally signed for 64-bit XP, so you have to force XP to accept a driver install that it would try its damnedest to not do. There's no driver issues for other 64-bit componentry in the installer package (I think the GEAR drivers install on XP 64-bit systems), but I believe there's still a bit of fancy footwork involved in getting them installed too ... although it's been a long time since I've looked at an instruction set, and I might not be recalling those things correctly. (So if you're not comfortable with system modifications, it might be best to steer clear of the Orca-based techniques ...)

Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) and frozen "Connect to iTunes" screen

I have had my iPod Touch for about one year and have synced with my PC (XP) without incident during that time. Yesterday something happened while connecting with iTunes and I have not been able to find the solution on this board or others. Maybe the charge remaining in the iPod was insufficient. The iPod screen is frozen with the "Connect to iTunes" icon. I can turn it off (black screen) but as soon as it is attached to the PC or docked, the same icon reappears. I cannot make the red slider appear to shut it down.
On the PC side, as soon as I attach the iPod, it wants to install the driver for "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)". I have attempted to point it to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers find the driver, but what it wants is not there. I have completely uninstalled iTunes, Quicktime and related files; and reinstalled iTunes. I have tried every trick I can find in this forum and others to no avail. When the iPod is connected to the PC, the device manager shows Other Devices - Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) with a yellow question mark and exclamation point. This device shows twice. The Apple Mobile Device USB Driver shows under Universal Serial Bus Controllers and is working properly.
I am at the end of my rope. I hope somebody that can help me will read this. Thanks.

Hi
I am experiencing the same problem as the person in the first thread as follows:
"The iPod screen is frozen with the "Connect to iTunes" icon. I can turn it off (black screen) but as soon as it is attached to the PC or docked, the same icon reappears. I cannot make the red slider appear to shut it down.

I have tried everything I can think of and have been advised to do on the Apple Support pages but this makes no difference.
Please can someone offer a solution.

ITunes 8.2 Apple Mobile Device Support does not install

I am unable to complete the full 8.2 install on my machine - the AMDS component fails to install, although the rest of the packages go in successfully. Unfortunately, without AMDS, I can't sync' my iPhone 3G, nor my iPod.
Having broken out the AMDS package from the 8.2 installer .exe, and tried to run it separately from the command line with logging enabled, the error appears to occur while trying to install the USB drivers themselves - the relevant lines are inserted here:
DIFXAPP: INFO: ENTER: DriverPackageInstallW
DIFXAPP: INFO: Installing INF file 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers\usbaapl64.inf' (Plug and Play).
DIFXAPP: INFO: Could not open file C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\usbaapl64.infamd64_neutralb6bcda7a7950fa43\usbaapl64.inf. (Error code 0xE0000003: The syntax of the INF is invalid.)
DIFXAPP: ERROR: PnP Install failed. (Error code 0x3EE: The volume for a file has been externally altered so that the opened file is no longer valid.)
DIFXAPP: INFO: Attempting to rollback ...
DIFXAPP: INFO: No devices to rollback
DIFXAPP: INFO: RETURN: DriverPackageInstallW (0x3EE)
DIFXAPP: ERROR: encountered while installing driver package 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers\usbaapl64.inf'
DIFXAPP: ERROR: InstallDriverPackages failed with error 0x3EE
DIFXAPP: RETURN: InstallDriverPackages() 1006 (0x3EE)
CustomAction MsiInstallDrivers returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)
Action ended 21:16:25: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.
Action 21:16:25: Rollback. Rolling back action:
Rollback: MsiInstallDrivers
Rollback: MsiRollbackInstall
I'm unable to break open the .msi fully because it is apparently 'corrupt', although that doesn't seem to stop Windows having a go. That said, the little that I can peer into it, the relevant .INF file mentioned in the log appears to be zero length.
Backing out the full install and downgrading to 8.1.1 seems to work fine, except that now MobileMe won't work because it's keyed to iTunes 8.2!!
Has anyone else seen this problem? Has anyone else got a valid AMDS .msi file I can try?!
Thanks,
ANdy

Maybe a little bit of forum necromancy going on here, but I thought it was worth posting for W7 RC users. aclc's post got me thinking about this tonight when I had issues updating my iTunes, and after some hard work investigating the issue, I figured out what has to happen. Basically aclc is exactly right with the root of the issue - I'm simply expanding the idea to involve instructions for those who can't afford to or won't be bothered with finding out the details of the solution.
Please note that these instructions were written assuming you are using an administrator-level account on a 64-bit Windows 7 Release Client installation, but should help 32-bit users if they have the same experience - I have not tried this solution on a 32-bit box. This fix has been administered using iTunes 9, so I have personally verified this will work with that version of iTunes.
iTunes 9 issue: iTunes requesting that you uninstall and reinstall for Apple Mobile Support after trying to install iTunes 9 on Windows 7 RC x64
Resolution:
By now you've already gone through the failed install on Apple Software Update, and may or may not have manually downloaded iTunes...I'm going to start from the beginning for the benefit of anyone who doesn't want to waste the hour and a half that I did to figure this one out (actually i detoured to read up on a few things for most of that time to feed my inner nerd, but I digress). Plus, this should help with retail Windows 7 users (provided Apple and MS haven't worked this out amongst themselves).
1 - TURN OFF UAC
a) Hit Windows Key + R to open the Run command box, type "msconfig", and hit enter or click OK.
b) Go to the Tools tab, highlight Change UAC Settings and click the Launch button.
c) Move the slider all the way down to the bottom to turn off UAC.
d) Reboot your PC for the changes to UAC to take effect.
2 - INSTALL iTUNES AND APPLE MOBILE SUPPORT THE RIGHT WAY (A.K.A. NOT LIKE THE INSTALLER TRIES TO)
a) In Apple Software Update, go to Tools | Open Downloaded Updates Folder... (if already downloaded and the installation has failed)
-or-
Use the Download and Install Manually feature of the Tools menu (if you have not already tried to install via Apple Software Update)
b) Locate the iTunes installer and the Apple Mobile Software Update installer. For me they were called:
iTunes64.msi
AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi
c) Right-click one of the files identified in 2a. Select Properties, and go to the Compatibility tab. Check the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" box and select "Previous Versions of Windows". Click Apply. Repeat for the other file in Step 2a.
d) Run the Apple Mobile Device Support installer identified in 2a. With UAC and compatibility mode both turned off, you should have a clean install.
e) IF YOU HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED iTUNES AND GOTTEN THE MESSAGE THAT YOUR MOBILE DEVICE SUPPORT IS NOT COMPATIBLE, DON'T PANIC - HERE'S THE FIX: Right-click the iTunes installer identified in 2a and select Repair. You should see a progress bar but will not have to go through a full install. Voila! Open iTunes, plug in your iPhone, and you should be good to go.
IF YOU HAVE NOT YET ATTEMPTED TO INSTALL iTUNES, simply run the installer for iTunes identified in 2a.
There you have it - this should do it for you and save someone the aggravation of figuring this out on their own.
Don't forget to turn UAC back on if you need/want it on.
Hope this helps!!
~NB
PnT forever.

If you have any ideas please help

hey im having the same problem did you ever find a solution???? please help if possible

Apple Mobile Device Service Quits repeatedly

This just started happening a few days ago. When I try to sync my iPhone with iTunes,it says "iPhone cannot be used because Apple Mobile Device Service is not started." I followed the instructions found on this site and,by turning the service back on for Bonjour and Apple and it worked. Then next time I tried synching, it did the same thing. Now everytime. Help?

This can often be caused by security software producing a false positive. Try temporarily disabling your security program if you have one installed. If that fixes the issue, most of these programs have a method for allowing a blocked service or application.
See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125
If this is not the case or the issue persists, you might try reinstalling iTunes and related components.
