Apple mobile device service keeps crashes

Hi,
Does anyone else have this problem?
Anytime I connect my phone to itunes, apple mobile device service keeps crashing.
I have tried disabling all anti virus/spyware/firewall settings, uninstalled and re-installed itunes and apple mobile support but still no luck,
Thanks,
Colm

If your iphone shows up as a camera in device manager check out this link.

  • Apple Mobile Device Service keeps crashing on Mac OS X

    When I connect my iPhone and start syncing it gets so far then, then the spinning beachball appears. This always happens when I am trying to sync music, and happens everytime I sync the phone.
    When I disconnect the phone and try again itunes doesn't recognise it.
    I have found by following these instructions:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306637
    I can get itunes to recognise the phone again and start syncing. However itunes crashes everytime I sync.
    If I force quit itunes I have to reinstall apple mobile device service, If I disconnect the iPhone then reconnect I get the error message 0xE8000001.
    I thought it might be because of the amount of music I was wanting to put on there, put doing it bit by bit seems to end up the same way. I also thought it might be because I only have USB 1.1, but if that was the case nothing would sync...surely????
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Can anyone help....having to re-install the mobile device package all the time is a real pain!!!!
    Help!

    Are you connecting the iPhone to a USB 2.0 port? (Some of the G4 computers have USB 1.1 port and those will create sync problems.)
    Are you using the cable that was supplied with the iPhone. (Some of the older iPod cables will connect but will not transfer data at USB 2.0 speeds).

  • 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.

  • ITunes 9.2, the Apple Mobile Device service is not started...(crashed).

    "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started"
    The above shows each time I try to start iTunes after upgrading to 9.2 (from 9.1) this morning on my Sony Vaio (Windows 7 32 bit) laptop.
    The AMD service crashes as soon as iTunes starts; services control panel shows this and the event viewer confirms with : The Apple Mobile Device service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 6 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
    Restarting the service while iTunes is running does not provoke iTunes into listing my iPhone, which, under 9.1 was all working correctly.
    After removing iTunes, all associated apple programs, QuickTime etc, removing temporary files and so forth, then reinstalling 9.2, I'm left in the same place, each time I start iTunes, the AMD service crashes and iTunes does not list my iPhone.
    Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards, Gary Thomlinson

    Most people on here seem to be having problems with iTunes 9.2 on 64 systems, I however am on 32 bit.
    I've also noticed just this morning, that putting my old iPod on this computer does spring iTunes into life and the device shows/syncs. The iPhone 3GS however does not, causing the service to crash or just itunes to ignore the device. I've tried and restore/backup etc (via another computer) and still iTunes refuses to see the iPhone. This has SO got to be a bug.
    Irony is, my iPhone 4 arrives today, and this is the only computer I have access to at the moment, meaning no iPhone 4 activation today!!

  • Every device (iphone4, iphone4s, ipad2) I try to hook up to iTunes gives me a message "this device cannot connect because the apple mobile device service is not setup" does anyone have ideas as to why it keeps popping up? It just started doing this.

  • Can't install new itunes upgrade on Windows 7.  Keep getting Apple Mobile Device Service timed out

    Ever since the new upgrade of iTunes came out I can no longer open iTunes.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times to no avail.  I keep getting  the Apple Mobile Device Service warning that it timed out.  I go into Services and I can't start the mobile device there either.  I have followed every suggestion online and still can't get it to work.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    Or roll back to the previous build:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

    I keep getting an error message saying "This iPod cannot be used because Apple Mobile Device service is not started" and i have no idea what that means so any help will be much appreciated, i just want to add more of my music on it

  • I tunes keeps telling me that this ipod cannot be used becausethe apple mobile device service is not activated. I cannot get thie device to even come up in itunes.

    I-tunes keeps telling me that this ipod cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started. It was previously working and syncing, but now windows doesn't seem to be recognizing it. What can I do?

    Hi there! You can fix this error by doing the following:
    1) Click your Start button in Windows, and click "Run".
    2) In the box that appears, type "services.msc" (without the quotes) and hit enter. A new window with a big list will appear.
    3) Find "Apple Mobile Device" service in this list, right-click it and go to "Properties".
    4) In the window that pops up, make sure that drop-down box is set to "Automatic", then click the button that says "Start". A progress bar will briefly appear and disappear and it will be started. Click Apply/OK.
    5) Try running iTunes again, it should work!

  • Something in Window 7 keeps turning off Apple Mobile Device Service?

    There is something that is interferring with my Apple Mobile Device Service froming staying on.  I have done EVERYTHING down to uninstalling ang re installing all itunes and related products and making sure I covered all folders that my have goodies hiding in them.  I can not get my iphone 4s or Ipad to show up.  Help??

    Let's try something else.
    In Computer, open local disk C:\
    Open the "Program files" folder.
    Open the "Common Files" folder.
    Open the "Apple" folder.
    Open the "Mobile Device Support" folder.
    Right-click on the AppleMobileDeviceService.exe file and select "Properties".
    In the Compatibility tab, check "run as administrator" and click OK.
    Restart the PC. Try connecting a device again. Do you still get the message?

  • Windows 7 - sleep mode crashes apple mobile device service

    For all those that are currently using or plan to use Windows 7:
    If your computer goes to sleep with iTunes open, you will need to restart the Apple Mobile Device service under services.msc (type that in the run command). Plugging in an iPhone after sleep will result in iTunes not recognizing the phone. The computer will recognize the phone (as it is detected via explorer and device manager) but iTunes will not respond as if there was an iPhone connected.
    RESTARTING MAY NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM! You will manually have to restart the service.
    Replicated on five separate computers: One Dell laptop, one Toshiba laptop, two custom built PC's and one Dell PC.
    Replicated on all versions of Windows 7: Ultimate RTM, Ultimate RC1, Professional RTM, Professional, Professional RC, Home RTM

    Have you looked at the AMDS topic of:
