Apple Mobile Device Service started then stopped

AMDS will not run !Error The AMD Service on Local Computer started then stopped. Some stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.  This came with 10.2 errors. I uninstalled iTunes 10.2 and installed 10.1.2.17 still have slow iTunes and it refuses to see device(iPhone) connected. What can I do now??????

This is NOT 100% correct while AMDS did run Devices still not detected. I had to Remove Apple Device Support and install AMDS from 10.0.1 Voila!! iTunes appeared in a FLASH and My IPHONE was therre and working. !Apple Error "iTunes was unable to load data class informaton from Synch Services. Reconnect or try later."  Hey Apple lastest has been no help removeing this error. I can live with that al it takes is a simple click of the box to remove. I Be HAPPy again. No more updates for me I just got to figure out how to stop Auto-notification if I can.

  • 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:

    http://www.ehow.com/how6006577start-apple-mobile-device-service.html
    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.

  • Apple Mobile Device Service won't start or stop

    I plugged my iphone in, and it said apple mobile device service is not started. So, I used the instructions on here and got to the services. However, when I right clicked AMD service, I was unable to click start, stop, pause, resume, restart, etc. So I went to properties and I was still unable to change anything; it was all blank and I couldn't click anything. I don't know how to fix this... Also, about 15 minutes before, it was working fine and my iphone showed up like normal, but then I installed the new apple software for itunes and that's when this all happened.

    it tells me it cannot connect because Apple Mobile Device is not started, so I go to "services" and start it but it tells me it started and then stopped.
    Do you have Megakey software installed on the PC? (Other folks have been reporting similar symptoms caused by a conflict with Megakey.)

    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.

  • Same old message - no solution! "this iphone cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started"

    Hello all,
    This driving me crazy - I have done it all - read through every forum and post - inculding all here. None of them resolves my issue...
    The details:
    Iphone - 4 - with IOS 5.0.1 (not the 4S)
    itunes version 10.5.2 64bit
    Laptop - running Windows 7 home premium 64bit
    (and just in case) - running Norton 360 with firewall settings for all iphone programs set to 'allways' I assume this is better than auto (yes I tried both)
    I've done the lot - reset the services , start / stopped them, automatic etc etc. no joy - as soon as i plug the phone in via USB the same old message:
    "this iphone cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started" driving me mad.
    Itunes will not recognize it as a device etc. nothing - PLEASE HELP....

    If the issue continues after restarting AMDS, then you'll need to remove and reinstall AMDS and iTunes.
    Completely uninstall AMDS, iTunes, and all Apple software. Click the appropriate links below for steps:
    Windows XP
    Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Restart the computer.
    Download and install (or reinstall) the latest version of iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes. Installing iTunes will also install AMDS.
    Restart the computer.
    Start iTunes and connect the device. It should be recognized properly in Windows.

  • 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.
