I tried to update my ITunes, which was working fine but the update failed...Said I need to reinstall. When I try to reinstall, I get the following error msg "Service Apple (mobile device) failed to start Verify you have sufficient priveliges to start services. Then if I hit try again it seem to install ok but then I get another Error Itunes not installed correctly Error 7 and Windows error 126....
Windows Vista
I had this exact same problem. I have Windows 7 64 bit. I tried a number of things from the discussion boards but the only way that I got it to work was to first get all of the latest Windows Updates, then manually uninstall iTunes (in Control Panel), then manually uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support, then uninstall Apple Application Support (not sure if this step was needed or not), then reboot, and finally install iTunes. Then it worked.

Thanks PedalFar. This has been a real pain in the you know what. But I seem to have it sorted thanks. Using CCleaner, I uninstalled every Apple program I had, rebooted and it reinstalled ok...Thanks
Ooooh, ok. 🙂 I'll give that a try as well. Thank you everyone for the information and God bless you. 😀
