Apple Mobile Device service is not started...boring I know but tried everyt

I have the lastest version of iTunes - 10.1.1.4 - I have thie above problem again and again, my new iPhone will not connect to itunes and neither will my iPod Touch. "Apple Mobile device service is not started"...uninstalled itunes a AMDS 3 times now, changed to "automatic" startup yet I am still have the same problem??
However, when I plug it into my work laptop running iTunes 10.1.0.56 it connects perfectly.....it also downloaded iPhone software 4.2.1 which is now installed but still i have this issue with my other PC???
Please, please help......

If you have tried to set the service to automatic:

Then how about adding it to your startup process? Add the Apple Mobile Device in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and see if it solves the problem.
Also, you might want to set your usb hub to not enter power savings mode, so power is always provided to the device(s):
right click my computer, click properties, click hardware, click device manager, click universal serial bus controllers, right click usb root hub, click properties, click power management, uncheck allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

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.

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?
