Apple Mobile Device Service installation rolls back

Hey there,
I've been having problems installing iTunes 9 or even 8 on my computer. While running the iTunes setup, part of the installation rolls back and when I launch iTunes after that, I get the message saying that
"This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again."
However, the installation doesn't work no matter how many times i reinstall it. I've fully uninstalled everything related to apple and used the microsoft's utility to check if they were properly uninstalled before reinstalling itunes, but I still got the same message.
I found out that Apple Mobile Device Service was not installed and that was the problem. When i extracted AppleMobileDeviceService.msi from the iTunes installer and ran it, it rolled back too. So I used the /l*v command to create an installation log and this is the error.
DIFXAPP: INFO: opening HKEY_USERS 'S-1-5-21-4128058654-1677487342-2165978628-1007\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\DIFxApp\Components\{9AA3828A-F852-11DB-8E29-6C6B55D89593}' (User's SID: 'S-1-5-21-4128058654-1677487342-2165978628-1007') ...

Can anyone help me please? Any help will be appreciated =P

I have recently been fighting my system to get itunes to recognise my iphone and i ran into a similar problem.
I couldnt uninstall the old version of apple mobile device support, and installing the new itunes over the top did not seem to help either.
But i found a work around.
Try opening the itunes.exe install package with winrar. (www.winrar.com, its a free program) and then extracting only the applemobiledevicesupport.exe file.
Reboot your system, run that file and then reboot again.
It should work.
If it doesnt, then good luck to you :P

I bought my ipad 2 from a friend I am trying to connect to my itunes on my computer and it will not recognize it. It keeps telling me that IPad cant be used because apple mobile device service is not started. can you help

I bought my IPad 2 from a friend. I have reset to clear all of his information out. I am trying to connect it to my computer to sync my itunes and I keep getting the message that my IPad can't be used because Apple Mobile Device Service is not started can anyone help with this?

I cannot find "Other" devices. I found Apple Mobile Device under Universal Bus Controllers but cannot see "recovery mode" or any other status. I use Windows Vista.
When I try to restart Apple Mobile Device Service I get the following message: "The Apple Mobile Device Service on Local Computer started then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs". What does this mean?
During the last 48 hours I was able to see my iPad in iTunes only one time during many attemnpts to connect . I haven't been able to see it during the llast several attempts.
Any suggestions? The standard suggestions have not worked: i.e. stop then start AMDS; tuurn off iPad and PC, then restart both and reconfrom iPad to PC; reload iTunes.

Sync problem, iTunes says: "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started."

Trying to sync my phone to update because it wont let me update apps on the phone itself. When I plug in to iTunes I'm getting a message saying "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started." How do I fix this?

On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". They are all registered. Help

On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". Each device has been registered onto this account and this computer, and all have worked finely in the past. I am so confused as to why now seemingly without reason, none of our apple devices (one iPod, two iPhones) are allowed to have music and other material downloaded onto them. Also, as a side note, they still are charged by plugging them into the computer, however they do not even show up on the left-hand sidebar in iTunes.
It should also be noted that for my iPhone it does not allow for the new update software to be uploaded; it just says that an error has occurred, nothing more.

Error message saying this device cannot be used because Apple mobile device service is not started. What does this mean and how do I start service....had these devices for over a year now??

When I tried to sync my iphone 4 and ipad in iturnes, an error message popped up saying this device cannot be used because Apple Mobile Device service is not started! What does that mean and how do I start service? I've had these devices for over a year and update and sync regularly and have never seen this message before!

I got that message yesterday. I'm new at this so don't know if this is the correct solution but it worked for me. I reset my iPod by holding the 2 buttons down until the apple appears AND I restarted my computer. After that everything worked.

Apple Mobile Device Service has stopped working. Vista SP2, iTunes 10.5

Hi there. I've been having an issue syncing my iPhone to iTunes. Here's a description of the problem:
-With an up-to-date Apple Mobile Device Service, error windows constantly pop-up saying that it has stopped working. If I close the error window, another one pops up fifteen seconds later.
-If I plug my iPhone into my computer, it is not recognized in iTunes, because Apple Mobile Device Service is not running.
-This error does not occur on my desktop PC, so I have been able to sync my iPhone by loading all of my files onto a USB and transferring them onto it. However, I would much rather not.
Here are the steps that I have taken:
-Uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 10.5 with firewall off
-Individually uninstalled and reinstalled the Apple Mobile Device Service with firewall off
-Stopped and Restarted the Apple Mobile Device Service in Administrative Tools -> Services
-Extensively searched the internet for solutions
-Replaced Apple Mobile Device Service for iTunes 10.5 with Apple Mobile Device Service for iTunes 10.1 (This worked PARTIALLY. The error windows have now stopped popping up altogether, but I cannot sync with iTunes because the Apple Mobile Device Service is out of date. It asks me to update it, I agree, and I get the Apple Mobile Device Service that spawns error windows and still does not allow me to sync my iPhone.)
I am running Windows Vista SP2, and iTunes 10.5. My Internet Security suite is AVG Internet Security 2011. My iPhone is running iOS 5.0.0. Here is a full report of the error:

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Just a shot in the dark, but have you downloaded any program from Megaupload, like MegaKey? If so then that is your problem. I had been having the exact same problem for the past 2 weeks. I couldn't figure out what it was and tried everything that you have.. Then was on a board and someone mentioned Megakey. Having tried everything else, I uninstalled the program and reinstalled the current ITunes and AMDS. My Ipad and Iphone connected with no problem.

I updated iTunes to iOS5 and now my iPod Touch 2G is not recognized in iTunes. I'm getting a message that says "Apple Mobile Device service is not started". What does this mean?

What does "the Apple Mobile Device service is not started" mean? I updated iTunes and I got this message when connecting my iPod Touch (2nd gen).

Never mind--I think I found the answer through other posts. Thanks!

ITunes reports "Apple Mobile Device" service error

After much posting and messing around to find a solution to my service crash issues, I have some advice for others to share.
PROBLEM: If you launch "iTunes" and receive a message indicating that: This i<device> cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started. The iPod/iPhone will not appear, nor will the system allow you to interact with the device.
CAUSE: There is usually another software installation that is "hooking" into the system and causing issues. These are usually in the form of proxy, firewall, anti-virus, and/or remote control programs.
SOLUTION: Use the "Computer Management" MMC (right-click "My Computer" and select "Manage") to track down the issue. Please do the following:
1) Check the "Services" section. You should see an entry called "Apple Mobile Device". This should be started with a startup value of "Automatic". If the status is "Stopped" (or at least indicates that it is not "Started"), then attempt to start the service. if nothing else, this will tell you if the required binary/executable is located in the correct directory for the service entry. If the service cannot start, or if the service reports that the file is missing, attempt to re-install the "Apple Mobile Device" MSI. Worse case, you may need to uninstall iTunes and re-install.
2) Try crashing the service again. The usual symptoms of this issue are that the service can be started, and will operate fine until iTunes is loaded, at which point the error message appears regarding the service (not being started). If you check the "services" section at this time, you will likely see that the previously running service is now stopped. Doing this will also create a new set of crash events in teh event log. Take note of the time when you "crash" the service and continue to the next step.
3) Check the "Event Viewer" section. locate the time of the service crash. The entries should be listed with a red "X" icon. now look at the event. This should tell you what the "Faulting module name" is. If you are using a proxy application or firewall, you may see something like "FPServiceProvider.dll" (Foxyproxy), "MPFP.dll" (McAfee Firewall), or even a generic entry like "ntdll.dll" (The Windows user environment). In every case (except "ntdll.dll") you swhould be able to search the web for the "DLL" or "EXE" name and work out what application is causing the issue. in the case of "ntdll.dll", you'll need to look for software that hooks into your system. Software like "DyKnow" remote control and other remote administration tools.
If you have installed a remote administration, remote control and/or security suite between a working iTunes and one that crashes, you may want to start with removing those as a test. Once I removed our faulty application (and it's hooks into the OS), iTunes funcationality was fully restored.
This is a "for your information" post. Hopefully it will save the trouble I had to go through to fix this problem.

Thank you so much for this. This was the most helpful advice I could found and seems likely to be applicable to many other people. I had the problem of my iPhone suddenly not being recognized by iTunes and I couldn't figure out why. Although I didn't have exactly the same scenario as the OP, (no actual crash, just an error message from iTunes saying device could not be used because Apple Mobile Device Service was not started) I used the info above to localise the conflicting software (proxy software - doh!). After uninstalling that and rebooting everything is good again. Thanks once more.
