A few items you will want to validate:

  • You will want to ensure you have the SharePoint Services Timer and SharePoint Administration Service enabled, and set to automatic start. Likewise, you can manually start them from the command line using the following commands:

net start SPTimerV4

net start SPAdminV4

Additionally, the resource I've used to configure the App environment for SharePoint 2013 was the Microsoft TechNet Article on this item specifically.

As far as explicit items to confirm, if you are having issues enabling/activating the service:

Verify that you have the following memberships:

  • securityadmin fixed server role on the SQL Server instance.
  • db_owner fixed database role on all databases that are to be updated.
  • Administrators group on the server on which you are running the Windows PowerShell cmdlets.

An administrator can use the Add-SPShellAdmin cmdlet to grant permissions to use SharePoint 15 Products cmdlets.

Lastly, I am presuming you aren't utilizing SQL Server Express. There are limitations, which will prevent you from using the User Profile Synchronization Service, in conjunction with your SharePoint 2013 configured environment.

  • Finaly i was able to achieve it.by running SP management shell as Administrator and then executed the command. also i Changed logon for SharePoint Services Timer to local account which was previously Network Service, as I thought may be it doesn't have permission for sql db thanks @Quinn Johns. Its such a relief

Two things to check.

  • Make sure "Windows SharePoint Services Administration" & "Windows SharePoint Timer Services" is running on all server in the farm. check in service console.
  • check the SQL server if account under which you are running the script have proper permission to access it.

Also check the ULS logs for more details.
