    I followed the orders in the website how to start the apple mobile service, but I get this message-"the apple mobile device service on local computer started and then stopped.some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs".
    I tried again and again to start the apple mobile service but it's just stop in the middle and I get this message. I reinstalled itunes twice but it's still doesn't work.
    please help me I'm desperate!

    Hey oommeerr,
    Sorry to hear that you are having issues with your iPhone not being seen in iTunes because of the Apple Mobile Device not working. When you reinstalled iTunes, did you uninstall iTunes first? Take a look at the article below and uninstall iTunes and its associating software in the order that it lists and then reinstall iTunes. Let me know if this works out for you.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    Hi mish11mish11,
    Lets see if we can get that working again. If you are having issues with the Apple Mobile Device Service you may need to just restart the service. Check out the first article to walk you through that process. If you are still having issues, take a look at the second article to continue your troubleshooting.
