Same happened to me (also on Jan 23 , 2014 , around 4 PM)
First, tried to update the lastest version of iTunes (11.1.4.62) but got the following error during install:
"Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start ...."
Then I uninstalled iTunes but did not know enough to uninstall the following additional Apple products .....
iPod updater , QuickTime , Apple Software Update , Apple Mobile Device Support ,
Bonjour and Apple Application Support
During 2nd attempt to install iTunes, I again received the above AMD error.
Mannually tried to Start the AMD Service, which was in a Automatic Start State and got Error 1053 and the following error message ......
Windows could not start the Apple Mobile Device service on the local Computer
Rebooted the Windows 7 (64-Bit) desktop and got the following error after Windows was re-established .......
The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer
