Your computer could possibly be running in selective startup mode where any nonessential services are disabled temporarily until a restart. If that isn't the case you can check out http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567 for information on restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows computers.

HT201272 I would like to download previous itune purchases on my I-Phone 4. Everytime I plug my phone into the computer it says apple mobile device not started. How do I fix this?

I want to download my previous purchases from my computer to my IPhone 4. Everytime I plug my phone into my computer it says Apple mobile devices service is not started. How do I fix this?

Hello EFierro79,
I find it easiest to download my purchases directly to my iPhone. You don't even need to connect your iPhone to iTunes. As long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase the items, you will not be charged.
You can find the steps to do this under the section titled "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on iOS" in the following article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
Additionally, you can follow the steps in the article below to resolve the error "This [device] cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device Service is not started."

my iphone 3 will not sync with itunes, it says Apple mobile device is not started, also doing it with ipad - can anyone help??? thanks

Restart your computer. Run iTunes and check for updates. If there is a later version of iTunes available, download and install it. Then try again. If you still cannot see your iPad listed in iTunes make a list of all the things you have tried so that we can see exactly what steps you have taken.

I keep getting an error message when I plug my iPhone into my computer. It says, "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device has not been started." This has never happened before when I plugged it in - now the iPhone won't show up at all.

Someone please help! I do not know how to fix this. It keeps saying my Mobile Device has not been started and I can't get my phone to show up in the iTunes window AT ALL. It will charge while plugged in, but it just won't come up in iTunes.

Sorry, the error message should read, "...the Apple Mobile Device service has not been started."

I need help.. i tried following the "restart" method at the "SERVICE" but my iphone still can't sync to itunes, i tried all other ways but it's still the same. Can anybody help me please? Without sync to Itunes my iphone will start to turn into an antique soon and when i try using the restarting method by service there's a pop up msg saying "service apple mobile device failed to start. verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services".
Please help me as well.

From http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
iOS devices require Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows XP: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Open the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel and verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program" (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click "Programs and Features"). Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below:
Reinstall iTunes for Windows XP
Reinstall iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7
If after reinstalling iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support is still not installed, follow steps in Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.
