When reinstalling itunes it stops on "Status : Starting services "

The error mesg. reads Service "ipod service' (ipod service) failedto start. Verify that you have sufficient privilges to start system services. I have the option to either retry or cancel. Retry does not work and cancel just removes itunes icon. Did all the steps to remove all software twice. Did all work arounds that this support site said.

okay. that can happen sometimes if the itunes installer is having a hard time shutting down either itunes or quicktime (or applications using quicktime) prior to the install. so let's try a "download, restart, then install strategy."
leave your ipod unplugged.
download and save a copy of the itunes installer to your hard drive. (do not run the install on line, and do not start the install by clicking on the iTunesSetup.exe (installer) file just yet.)
iTunes 7.0.1.8 Installer
shut down running applications and restart the PC.
do not open any other applications prior to attempting the iTunes install. switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe file.
does the install go through properly this time?

Hi emelville,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You may need to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service. This article has instructions that may help:

If that doesn't resolve the issue, I would recommend trying a thorough uninstall and reinstall of iTunes as described here:

Me too. And if someone comes back on here with the same solution of "uninstall and re-install", please provide further advice after you have done that 3 times and the program still has the same problem in addition to the "failure to load the C runtime library" R6034 issue. I have removed itunes 3 times however I do not have permission to remove the program files/apple file and the uninstall doesn't remove it.
You're not alone buddy.
Frustrated.

How do I fix this errror when reinstalling itunes

I am trying to reinstall itunes and i am having an issue. I keep getting an error while trying to install and I keep getting very far but I always seem to end up with this.
"Could not open key
UNKNOWN\Components\DA42BC89BF25F5BD0AF…
\b25099274a207264182f8181add555d0.
Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel"
I was attempting to reinstall due to an error message appearing when I opened itunes
"Itunes requires a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support Please uninstall
both Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes, then install iTunes again."
I have tried a few solutions and for the first error when installing one was an attempt at editing a registry file which I do not think succeeded because I am running windows 8 and was being directed for windows 7.
I have attempted to use this post but it is again about windows 7 and after I select permissions under components is where windows 8 seems to change slightly in comparison to windows 7. I did try only the further steps though and that also did not work.

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 performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
The further information area also has notes on your first issue.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Quicktime Error When Reinstalling iTunes

Hello,
I recently had some problems with iTunes on my desktop which required me to reinstall the software. After reinstalling the software and trying to run it, it gave me an error message saying I had to install a later version of Quicktime. I downloaded the newest version of Quicktime and tried to install it and got an error saying the version I tried to install was older than the version I had installed. I then uninstalled both iTunes and Quicktime and removed registry entries with the program Registry Mechanic and reinstalled iTunes WITH Quicktime included. I received the same error message saying I had to install a later version of Quicktime. I then tried to reinstall Quicktime and got the same error I received before. iTunes and my ipod both work fine on my laptop, so the problem seems to be just with my desktop. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Generic with P4 chip Windows XP

Hey try opening quicktime. Thats what i did, and after getting it up and running, iTunes started working again.

Wiped computer and when reinstalling itunes my apps are all gone?

Ok, first time poster here and I would like to mention I am a complete n00b at all this computer related business so please don't make fun :P
My computer was acting funny so I decided to wipe/restore it. Today I reinstalled itunes and when I logged into my account I noticed everything was gone under my application purchaces. I've bought many apps and now I'm kind of scared to plug in my itouch for fear of losing all my purchaces when I sync it to my newly wiped computer.
I've tried searching the support on here, but like I mentioned before, I kind of suck and get way too confused at everything computer related. Did wiping my computer essentially permanently delete all my bought apps?

You can transfer you iTunes purchases to your now "new" computer by"
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
You can also redownload app at no additional cost. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Since you now have what appears to be a "new" iTunes library, you will not be able to backup to the "new" computer. After you move /get you stuff on the "new" computer I would let the computer/iTunes erase your iPod and replace it with the contents in iTunes on the new computer. All you app data will be lost. If you have any non-iTunes purchased music you can move that to your new computer by:

How to preserve my library when reinstalling iTunes?

Hi, I'm about to reinstall iTunes, but I have a question before I do. Is it possible to keep my library exactly the way it was before the reinstall? If so, how would I do it? I'm using Windows Vista Home Basic.

so um I'm moving my files from my computer to my mybook. And i unintentionally removed itunes in the process....so how do i recover all my music and playlists. I have a lot of music and for some reason i have a lot of duplicates. And i do not feel like sitting at my computer for 6 hours deleting every single duplicate and recreating all my playlists. Or do i have to it this way? any help would be great thanks.

Hello all. My system is Windows 7 64bit. In the past my phone worked just fine, plug it into a usb slot, synced up, updated... but for months now it has not worked. Other Iphones will not work on this PC either with their corresponding cables. But my Iphone will also not work when plugged into other computers.. it will not show up at all.. no charge.. no itunes... no drivers show up in Device Manager. My phone works just fine when plugged into the wall with it's cable.. charges fine everything works.. but it will not charge when plugged into a computer.
So far... I have uninstalled everything related to apple... ran ccleaner.. fixed registry errors. Reboot PC, reinstall all itunes and apple components (all latest software) and nothing.
I have gonet o services and stopped and started apple mobile device. It is set to automatic.
I have hard reset the phone and soft reset it.
The cable obviously works. The Phone works when plugged into the wall.
Other Iphones will not work on my pc, nor will my iphone work on theirs
I have disabled windows firewall along with my Comodo Defense Plus and it's firewall. I have disabled my AV. I have scanned with ad aware plus, Avast, ran hijack this and fixed registry errors. Ran Ccleaner.
My device manager does not have anything related to apple in it.. I have no idea why. My Device Manager has no portable devices detected at all and does not recognize anything related to the phone.
Core 2 duo 6600
2gigs of ram
Windows 7 64 bit
I have checked all the tech support stuff I can find. I am desperate. Apple will not help me on the phone without charging me 30$.

Also.... my phone works and can do everything fine when not plugged in.. I just can't get my computer or others to recognize the darn thing when plugged in!
