"Apple Mobile Device" failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.. then options to retry, abort or continue without installing component

Anonymous

After using this computer for 7 months (bought it new last November) and iTunes worked perfectly well until one day it stopped displaying the device option( the one that shows what iPhone or I pad..etc you got connected) and then you can sync the devices. but this went missing and iTunes could not re-download it.

I have contacted Apple support and gone through all options to remove and re-download iTunes.. but didn't' work. Each time, after downloading most of the programme - it stops to give the following message:

iTunes: Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."

Please help

Thank You for posting that link Sandro SB !!! I am quite computer savvy and had tried all the suggestions here and some of my own and nothing would work. That link to the version for "Older Video Cards" worked perfect !

I spent hours and hours on this stupid error yesterday and last night.... This post is my last hope! Fingers and toes crossed !!

**Update** Well, I did exactly as stated, but it didn't work :'( I'm at my wit's end.... At first it looked promising, but then I got this:

Service apple mobile device service (apple mobile device service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services

Abort/ Try Again/ Ignore

I hit Try Again. then I got this :

****Service apple mobile device service (apple mobile device service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services

Abort/ Try Again/ Ignore

I hit Ignore, then I got this :

itunes was not installed correctly, please reinstall itunes

error 7 (windows error 193)

and this:

itunes helper was not installed correctly. error 7

H E L P !!!!

All you need to do is type "msconfig" in run then click the service tab, then "hide all microsoft services" then tick every box there then it will work.

Hope I helped anyone with this problem :)
