Apple Moblie Device service is not started - Cannot be started.

Running Windows 7 64bit and iTunes 10.1.0.54
I've been able to sync my iPod in the past. Now, when I plug it in, I get the message "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Moblie Device service is not started."
Ok, so I try to start the Apple mobile device service. I get the following error: "Windows could not start the Apple Moblie Device service on Local Computer. Error 1067: The Process terminated unexpectedly."
When I check my error log I see: "The Apple Mobile Device service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 56 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Restart the service."
I've gone through the steps to uninstall every component of apple products found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925 to no avail. I've even gone through the verification step and no folders/files exist after uninstall. Still no dice upon reinstall.
I've been uninstalling/reinstalling and googleing for a solution for about 3 hours now and haven't found a solution. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vyx

That is because your apple mobile device service is not started.
The apple mobile device is the thing that allows your phone to communicate with your computer. First thing to try is restarting your computer then plugging your phone in. Check with activity monitor / task manager to see if it is running.

I'm getting an error message when I plug my iPhone 4 into my computer. It says, "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Moblie Device Service has not been started." What does this mean? I've never had this error before. It's also giving the same message with my iPod touch. Please help!

You can easily check whether you've the Apple Mobile Device in your computer.
Right click 'My Computer' , then Manage => Services and Applications => Services. Apple Mobile Device is listed in alphabetical order. If none, it means you've not download iTunes into your computer yet. If yes, please ensure the Apple Mobile Device is in 'Started' status.
Good luck

HELP This iphone cannot be used because the apple moble device service...

This iphone cannot be used because the apple moble device service is not started. This is the error I am now getting. Can anyone tell me why? My phone is working fine. I an very confused. LOL

I assume that you are gettting this error message when you try to connect the iphone to your computer.
To start the service, right click on my computer and choose "Manage"
Then select the services tab. You should see the service listed towards the top of the window. Start the service and see if it works.
If not, you may need to re-install itunes. This will re-download the service for you.
Good luck...

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.
