Why isnt iTunes installing ona windows 8.1 64bit asus laptop?

I'm having trouble installing itunes on a asus laptop with windows 8.1 64bit. Install goes well unill i get the message Apple Mobile Device service fails to start. I've unstalled and removed all apple related files on my pc.. rebooted and tried reinstalling but no succes. What can i do?

Run through the second box of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates up until the moment that you would install iTunes.
Download a fresh copy of the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe installer from the direct links in the further information area of the user tip.
Download and install 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and use one of them to extract the contents of the installer file.
Install the .msi components in alphabetical order, ignoring iCloudSetup.msi which is for Vista only and the SetupAdmin,exe file which is the normal installer. Even if AMDS won't install you may get a more useful error message as to why not.

  • Why isnt itune installing 64bit when i plug my phone in tells me its not right iTunes

    its been like this for weeks tryed getting new downloads and its driving me crazy help if you can..?

    Hi chawni,
    Sounds like you have the Sync all music box selecte on the Music Profile tab.
    Manual sync only means that iTunes will not automatically start syncing when you hook the device up to it. However, when you click on the Sync (or Apply) button, it uses the profile you have set up to determine what to sync.
    Hook up your device to the computer where your iTunes library is, and select the device when it displays.
    To the right, you will see the Profile screens. Click on the Music one. Set it up to sync the specific music you wish. Once you have completed setting it up, click Sync (or Apply) and it will update your device with only the music you have selected.
    Cheers,

  • HT1926 Why does Itunes installed on a Toshiba Satelite with windows 8 not recognize my Ipone or Ipad?

    Why does Itunes installed on a Toshiba Satelite with windows 8 not recognize my Iphone or Ipad?

    It's possible that charger damaged some part of the connection on the iPad. There's little metal contacts on that small silicon chip sticking out of the port and if something happens to one of those little contacts it can effect how it works.
    You can try taking it into an apple store and have them look at it. If you'd only used 'official' stuff there'd probably be no question but once they know that the damage, potential damage, was caused by a third party device, then it may be up to the discretion of the manager what they do with it. Whether they replace it under warranty or decide that the warranty is void (I honestly don't know how strict they can be with the use of third party devices and how they may/may 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 page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if AAS won't install normally.

  • Why does iTunes install 2 Services?

    Hi,
    I just noticed that iTunes installed two services:
    - Apple Mobile Device
    - IPod
    Why? What is the purpose? Seems a little bit spooky...

    Details of any error messages would help.

  • Itunes installed on Windows xp Pro 64 bit

    I just built a new computer using an AMD 64x2 processor. The operating system is Windows XP Pro 64. I used Itunes on my old 32 bit xp, but now I can't get Itunes installed on the 64. Is there a different driver I need to install and if so where can I get it.

    Here's a tip from another user that might work; I can't vouch for it myself:
    If you've got Vista x64, you need to open a Command Prompt box and run the command there, changing directories first:
    cd c:\windows\SysWOW64
    regsvr32 /u vbscript.dll
    You'll also need to configure a symlink to help iTunes find Quicktime:
    mkdir "c:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime"
    mklink /d "c:\Program Files\QuickTime" "c:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime"
    After installation, you should probably close the Big Fat VBScript Security Hole:
    regsvr32 /u vbscript.dll
    Hope that helps.

  • What files does iTunes install in Windows 7?

    I am trouble-shooting a friend's Dell, running the 64-bit Windows 7. He is worried that his iTunes installation is faulty, and that he may lose access to his extensive music and podcast library. I am looking for a list of which files get installed - and where - when a fresh version of iTunes is installed under Windows 7. This MAY help isolate and rectify his problem.
    Can anyone help with this?
    Thanks in advance for your time.
    Rick

    Far too many for me to document. If there is a problem with iTunes reinstall it. Reinstalling iTunes should not affect the library, but back it up anyway. See this User Tip for an effective backup strategy.

  • Itunes install on windows - not enough space with 80 gig open, itunes install on windows - not enough space with 80 gig open

    Hi
    had itunes installed (windows vista 64), after lots of errors and refusing to sync nor repair nor upgrade - I uninstalled. the next step was that it didnt want to reinstall due to older version... have now removed all with Revo uninstaller pro. Now i cant re install as it tells me I dont have enough space even though i have 80gig open? dont know what else to try.

    Best to remove all music and re-sync from the Mac, which you can do without doing a complete Restore of the iPhone.  Assuming that you auto-sync music and not manually manage music on the iPhone:
    While connected to your Mac iTunes, change your sync settings by un-checking the "Sync Music" option, then apply the change to delete all the music.
    Since there seems to be some funny business with iCloud, where some music downloads stubbornly remain on the iPhone despite attempts to delete them, disconnect from iTunes and check your iPhone to make sure all music really was removed.  If you still see music, first turn off the "Show All Music" option (Settings/Music/Show All Music/OFF) since songs with a cloud symbol really aren't on the device.  If after doing that you still see music on the iPhone, go to Settings/General/Usage/Music and swipe left to right across "All Music" and tap Delete.  Hopefully that deletes past cloud downloads you may have done.  If not, I've had to change to manual sync mode, manually deleting remaining songs by navigating into iPhone via iTunes, backing up, restoring from backup, then changing back to auto-sync mode.
    Re-connect back to iTunes and change your sync settings to allow music syncing -- either your entire library, or selected playlists, genres, albums, etc. 
    You mentioned that your library is "only 14 GB" but consider that if you have a 16 GB iPhone you don't really have 16 GB of storage, so perhaps you're running up against a real capacity issue if you own a 16 GB model, or have a larger model but other things taking up space.  So perhaps you can no longer sync your entire library as you expect.

  • Why is iTunes for MS Windows so flakey ?

    I don't understand why a company like Apple cannot make iTunes stable.
    Seems that iTunes gets worse after every release! There are nearly 1/4 million discussions in the iTunes for Windows section!
    iTunes constantly hangs my Windows, I usually have to stop the iTunes process for windows to come alive again.
    iPad and iPhone wifi sync constantly errors.
    Come on Apple please stabilise iTunes.
    Don't make me go Android.

    It sucketh.  However, I disagree that it has gotten worse.  It think we have so many new users so the number of complaints have increased.
    I've seen an improvement.  At least now you can restart iTunes and resolve most problems.  We used to have to reboot Windows to get it to work!   Before that, we had to uninstall all components (in a specific order) and then reinstall them.
    Things are getting better and hopefully it will eventually become rock solid on Windows and/or 100% OTA.

  • Hello! itunes installed on windows last xp

    Can somebody answer me why i cannot install itunes 7, any version, on my new computer that has a last xp version? I tried 4 times, but after installing, it wouldn`t open! Please let me know what to do! thanks

    Be certain you are using a 'good' shortcut to launch iTunes.
    When a new version of iTunes is installed on my XP systems, old shortcuts no longer work; so if you didn't install a new shortcut, try going from Start > All Programs. Then select iTunes.
    Also, did you get any error messages when installing, or did it appear to go cleanly?

  • Installing AUTHENTIC windows 7 ultimate 64bit on Macbook Pro - ERROR, help!

    I am trying to install windows 7 ultimate 64bit (not the beta or RC, this is an authentic windows 7 DVD -- signature edition) on my macbook pro using Bootcamp. When the computer tries to reboot, i get a message that says:
    1.
    2.
    select cd-rom boot type:"
    I saw forum posts with this problem where people were using improperly burned windows 7 versions, however, this is not a burned DVD -- its authentic from microsoft. This means i cant reburn the dvd...
    Any suggestions?!

    Did you by any chance install Snow Leopard on your MacBook Pro?
    My MacBook Pro was working perfectly fine. Installed windows many times the last 2-3 years and never had problems.
    I installed Snow Leopard a couple weeks ago and since then I get this exact same error with all my Windows Install discs (ones that always worked before!).
    Whatever I do. I can't get any Windows installed anymore.
    The discs are fine, Bootcamp menu reads it and recognise it. But the moment you try boot from it you end up with the error the OP is describing!
    And all this, after I installed Snow Leopard. Restoring to previous versions of MacOSX did not help!
    So it seems that the Snow Leopard installation does something to the DVD drives on the MacBook Pro's (upgrading firmware whatever) and now it's ruined!!
