Apple mobile device exe used excessive CPU

I am running iTunes on Windows 7 32 bits and as sson as I open Itunes, Apple Mobile Device exe. will start to use up to 50% of my CPU. Even when I have closed iTunes this contnues. Is there a fif for this since it will of course mean that all other processes will be slowed down and that the heat from the CPU finally will lower the life of my lap op.

You can try looking at some of the previous posts on the right under the heading "More Like This" with your same problem.

    Hi,
    I have tried and confimed that you can download the previous version from some web-site about the version 10.5.1.42.
    Remove/un-install 10.5.2.11 and restart your computer.
    Install the old version 10.5.1.42
    and then you can find the "Devices" on the left column and showing synchronizing when you connect the cable.
    Good luck

  • Apple mobile device service uses too much cpu time

    Apple mobile device service uses too much cpu time, from 88% to 99% of the CPU time.

    The best way to fix this is to completely remove all aspects of iTunes then reinstall. Step by step directions are on this article. Good luck

  • After syncing with iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support uses 83-99% of CPU

    After syncing with iTunes 10.4.0.80, everything becomes very slow on my XP Home PC with 2G RAM.  Apple Mobile Device is reported as using 83-99% of the CPU cycles.  Shutting down and restarting Apple Mobile Device solves the problem and reduces CPU cycles to 0%.  (I have written a small batch program to stop and restart the Apple Mobile Device to achieve this.)  Does anyone have any thoughts about why the Apple Mobile Device process won't release when the sync is finished? 

    i deleted itunes and mobile support and now when i reinstall itunes the mobile support does not come back with it as when it tries to install that it just says rolling back after it is almost done
    The AMDS install roll-back (on XP) can be caused by old driver componentry "stuck" in the bowels of your OS. If that's what is going on, we can get past this ... but I'm afraid it's a bit of a performance.
    First, go into "My Computer". Go "Tools > Folder Options". Go to the view tab.
    Make sure "Show hidden files and folders" is selected.
    Make sure "Hide extensions for known filetypes" is unchecked.
    Make sure "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in "My Computer", open "Local Disk C:" or whichever drive your Operating System is installed on.
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "system32" folder.
    Open the "DRVSTORE" folder.
    In there look to see if you have either of the following two folders:
    netaapl_(LongStringOfNumbers)
    usbaapl_(LongStringOfNumbers)
    If you find either of them, drag them out onto the desktop. (Don't touch any other files or folders you see in there.)
    Now go back into the "system32" directory.
    Open the "Drivers" directory.
    Look for either of the following two files:
    netaapl.sys
    usbaapl.sys
    If you see either of them in there, drag them out onto the desktop. (Again, don't touch any other files or folders you see in there.)
    Now restart the PC. Uninstall iTunes again, and then try reinstalling it again. Does Apple Mobile Device Support install this time?

  • Why can't I install iTunes version 10.5 or higher? I've tried everything suggested on this forum, my friend has a mac and she can't either and it seems like the main problem is the apple Mobile device.exe wont install and applesync

    Hey anybody,
    Neither myself (running on PC windows vista 32 bit) or my friend (on a mac) are able to install versions of iTunes around 10.5 or higher successfully. This leads me to believe the problem isn't necessarily with our computers and there may be something wrong elsewhere. I'm not a computer wiz but I have tried most of the advice on these forums e.g. Uninstalling and reinstalling, deleting temporary files, expanding files and trying individual downloads and more. I can install older versions of iTunes where they use to combine it with QuickTime with no problems however this is no good to me or my friend because only versions 10.5 and up come with support with iPhone 4S and that's what we need. I managed after several attempts to install iTunes 10.52 but without the apple mobile device so therefor the iTunes wouldn't connect to my phone or recognise it, apple sync notifier also has problems and fails to start.
    Please can someone help me with this, I have tried everything on the apple troubleshooting pages so please don't link me those. Or please can iTunes and apple do something in an update that corrects this problem because I know many people are having similar issues. I only bought this phone for the music and at the moment I feel cheated because I wouldn't have these problems with any other phone because I'd just be able to drag and drop.

    Hi there,
    I had the same experience. I'm using a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop, with Windows 7 Home Edition, 32 bit.
    I tried to install iTunes 10.5 and it started installing, then, just before the end of the process, came up with the following error message:
    "There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
    Of course, no information on what the program that couldn't be run was! At first I tried the usual stuff, like scanning for viruses etc. but nothing doing. Then I started Googling. In the end, I uninstalled all Apple stuff from my computer. A lot of it I had to do manually, going in to the program files drive and deleting stuff from there, but some of it wouldn't delete as it was saying it was open in Windows Explorer. In the end, I managed to delete the iTunes folders by selecting one of my mp3 tracks saved on the computer and right clicking 'open with'. I then browsed my pc to locate the iTunes folders still outstanding and was able to right click and delete them that way.
    Then emptied the recycle bin and did a restart before going online and downloading iTunes 10.5.
    Thankfully it worked, but its taken me a good few hours and made me really quite tetchy! I've never had this problem before, so I hope this is going to be a one off.
    One thing that doesn't seem to be working is that, despite how many times I tell it that my preference is for the iTunes Media folder to be located on my external hard drive, it keeps putting it back to the C drive! Didn't have that issue with the last version. Grrrrrr. Arrrrgggh.
    Hope you manage to get yours sorted - this is affecting a lot of people by the look of things.

  • ITunes v7.7.0.43 syncclient. exe using excessive cpu

    I recently updated iTunes to v7.7.0.73 and my orginal iPhone to v2 and the syncclient.exe process is going nuts! As soon as iTunes is started, this process consumes almost all available cpu and creates constant disk reads (VERY BUSY) until I kill it.
    I found similar posts on the iTouch Discussion so this is clearly a iTunes problem. Disabling Sync in iTunes will prevent the process from starting but...

  • Apple Mobile Device installation - Error writing to file

    When trying to install any version of iTunes on Windows7_64, I am receiving an error during the installation of the Apple Mobile Device software.
    Error writing to file: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\AppleMobileDeviceService.exe. Verify that you have access to that directory.
    The error occurs when logging in under any user profile, including the local Administrator account.  Full rights and permissions have been verified for the specifiied directory location. 
    I have also attempted to manually run the AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi standalone file, but the same error continues.  Registry cleaners, Drive scans/repairs, etc. have all been performed without any improvement.
    Has anyone found a way around or resolution for this error?
    Thanks!

    This suggestion was also tried without success.  Anytime the default folder named "Apple Mobile Device" was used, the error would occur.
    I did, however, try something different.  Using the standalone AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi, I instructed the software to install to "Mobile Device Support2" as the installation folder name.  The installation succeeded and I haven't found any problems yet.
    New pathname:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support2\
    Will changing the default installation path in the Common Files directory create any possible issues later?
    Many thanks.

  • Apple Mobile Device Helper has stopped working - stuck in loop

    I keep getting a message/check box (AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working)whenever I load iTunes under Vista. If I don't click and respond, my task bar gets cluttered up with these messages - I don't know what to do short of uninstalling everything.
    Any ideas of what else I can do to stop this box from coming up, so that I can use iTunes normally?
    Thanks

    You could try uninstalling Apple Mobile Device support using add/remove programs. I tunes doesn't require it and will work without it. However if you need it, try doing a repair install of iTunes which will reinstall Apple Mobile Deviced support.

  • Apple mobile device use all cpu

    After I have updated to Itunes 10.5 apple MobileDevice use all my cpu,I tried to uninstall all apple programs and reinstall them but the problem appears again.
    To uninstall and reinstall fixed the the same problem with itunes 10.4.
    I hope someone is able to help me.

    The CPU has been resolved after reading other posts:
    From the command prompt, enter: netsh winsock reset
    Then reboot computer.
    My Sony Vaio runs faster, all Apple Mobile Device issues are gone, and iTune starts up instantly and syncs my iPad and iPod,
    Funny thing is the guys at the Apple Store Genius Bar couldn't come up with this. In any case, hope this helps another reader.....

  • Apple Mobile Device Service takes too much CPU how do I tame it?

    I am runnig windows 7 on a acer with a quad core intel 7 cpu and AppleMobileDeviceService.exe constantly takes 20%+ of the cpu.  Not only is my computer slow when this occurs but left this way while using other demanding application it tends to overheat my cpu and it shuts down. I have turned it off using the Resource Monitor but that is less than optimal for many reasons.  I just uninstalled everything apple from my pc and resintalled itunes.  This did not solve the problem.  I am beginning to suspect this is a ploy by apple to get itunes users to hate windows and move to macs.  BTW, I already own iPads and macs.

  • TS3704 Trying to delete I Tunes because of missing MSVCR80.dll followed instructions from Apple to delete - Apple Mobile Device support keeps coming up its being used I have gone to program files deleted what I can from folder but left with 3 files

    I have been getting the MSVCR80.dll missing message.
    Been on the Apple site and following instruction.
    Going down the list has instructed I have Deleted I Tunes.
    Deleted Apple Software Update
    But when I try to delete Apple Mobile device it wouldn't delete so went into program files has the instructions say by going to Program Files\common Files\Apple\Apple Mobile Device Support Folder.
    It still wouldn't delete saying it was being used. 
    I opened the file and highlighted all the folders and pressed delete, most of them have disapeared into my recycle bin but the folder still holds AppleMobileService, AppleMobileDeviceService_main.dll and MobileDevice.dll. 
    Message when I right click the first file is AppleMobileService I am told this action can't be completed because file is open in Apple Mobile Device. Close and Try again. 
    When I click the next file AppleMobileDeviceService_main dll it says  It comes up with This action cannot be completed and File description Apple Mobile Device Service. Company Apple Inc. File Version 17.323.0.9 Date Created 7/9/2013. Try again...... and finally  MobileDevice.dll come up with same message but file version 710.0.0.4 Date Created 7/9/2013 Size 902KB Both say Try Again but the same thing just recurred.
    I have left my lap top on hoping that I a swift reply.
    I am certainly no computer wizard and simply trying to follow the instructions to get rid of the box which keep coming up everytime I switch the lap top on saying APS Daemon.exe-System Error. The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.  I had looked at the internet and there appears to be warnings not to click on the button.
    I have had an apdate from Apple for the I Tunes but it wouldn't update. I thought that may have sorted it so whilst I had a few hours I thought I would go through the process that is advised on Apple's website. 
    I hope I have not ruined my computer. I haven't even tried deleting Bonjour or Apple Application Support (I Tunes 9 or later) has these are supposed to come after the step I am on.
    Please HELP!!!!!

    Sorry I missed your post. Anyone else with the same issue should find useful resources at Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

  • IPhonne could not be used because Apple Mobile Device Service has not start

    So I updated to iTunes 10.1.1.4 this morning, Since there was some "performance improvement". Worst decision ever because my iPhone 3GS does not want to connect to iTunes anymore I first got an error from Apple Software Updater that it couldn't install so I went on apples website and downloaded and successfully installed it.
    I then get this random error about a service.
    Here's an image of what the message is when I try and get it to connect to iTunes
    http://i.screensnapr.com/mjaw7p.png
    Once I saw this my first instinct was to go to Service and start it up myself! It was started so I restarted it! I then get this error
    http://lulzimg.com/i01/c0ef8bae.png
    So my last option was to uninstall every apple product(including bonjour, itunes, apple mobile support etc.) and restart my computer, Install again THEN restart computer. Still got the same service error. I did a CHKDSK on my computer afterwards to see what was wrong and found nothing. I really don't know what to do now except ask here. I will not format my computer since I have very important files.
    P.S. When Uninstalling, I deleted registry files, everything that apple left over.

    Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device
    That's unusual ... it's a 32-bit version of Apple Mobile Device Support that is crashing (taking the report at face value), but you've got a 64-bit system. Ever since the first iTunes 9.x version, AMDS has been 64-bit.
    So I think we should try scraping all your AMDS and iTunes componentry out of there (especially the old 32-bit AMDS stuff), and then reinstalling the 64-bit iTunes (which normally should reinstall the 64-bit AMDS).
    I'd also take some extra explicit precautions along the way, just in case. Best to print out a copy of these instructions, because at one stage of proceedings you won't be able to use a web browser.
    Preliminaries
    Download and save a fresh copy of the iTunes64Setup.exe (64-bit installer file) to your Hard drive. (Don't run the install on line, and don't start the uninstall just yet.)
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Quit the MobileMe Control Panel for Windows if you have it installed and open. (Ay least some versions of that also use Apple Mobile Device Support, and so may interfere with the AMDS uninstall if they are open.)
    *Uninstall Phase*
    Head into your "Uninstall a program" control panel. Uninstall iTunes. Uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support.
    Next we'll remove any left-over program files and folders.
    In "Computer" open "Local Disk C:" (or whichever drive you have your program files installed on).
    Open the "Program Files" folder.
    Right-click on the "iTunes" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    *Staying in the "Program Files" folder,* open the "Common Files" folder.
    Open the "Apple" folder.
    Right-click on the "Mobile Device Support" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    Go back into "Local Disk C:" (or whichever drive you have your program files installed on).
    Open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
    Right-click on the "iTunes" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    Staying in the "Program Files (x86)" folder, open the "Common Files" folder.
    Open the "Apple" folder.
    Right-click on the "Mobile Device Support" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
    Empty your Recycle Bin.
    *Reinstall Phase*
    Restart the PC. After the PC restarts do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
    Now start the reinstall by doubleclicking the iTunes64Setup.exe file you downloaded earlier. (This should also reinstall the 64-bit Apple Mobile Device Support.)
    Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
    Does the install go through properly? If so, is the 64-bit Apple Mobile Device Service running now? If it is running, can you connect to the iPhone now?

  • Apple Mobile devices and Itunes is taking up 100% of my CPU and I can not get to the Itunes music store on 10.5

    I have installed the 10.5 version of the Apple Itunes app.  Now when I bring it up it takes up one whole CPU and my other CPU is used up by Apple Mobile devices.   I am using Windows XP Service Pack 2.    I have tried uninstalling all Apple products and reinstalling them but with no luck.  Please if anyone has any advice I am all ears...

    Thanks, Andrew for your help.  Not sure if you will see this, but I did the above and it said the HD was okay.  Rebooted it and still won't go past login page.  Tried it again and this time typed in the line /sbin/fsck -fy and then it came up and said HD was okay, but said something about being modified.  I once more rebooted, but it still won't get past the login screen.  Besides taking long to reboot, as before, I am able to enter my password, but then it hangs up with the rainbow icon rotating continuously.  Does this mean that the disk is corrupt or partially so, and if so, can you advise how I should proceed?  TIA again.

    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.
