"AppleMobileDeviceHelper Has Stopped Working" -- how to fix??

The "AppleMobileDeviceHelper" every 60 seconds or so triggers the above Windows error message. In additon, when I connect my iPhone 3GS, I get various messages -- iTunes Sync Services problem, iPhone not recognized, etc. In the time it's taken to write this mesasge, I've had a 1/2 dozen AppleMobileDeviceHelper error messages.
I've repaired, removed & reinstalled iTunes several times, to no avail. I had no problems with using iTunes and syncing my iPhone under Win 7 for nearly two months, then a couple of weeks ago these problems started arising. I can't correlate any software install at that time, so I'm stumped.
Suggestions?

Another datapoint -- video and audio play suffers from major stalls -- interruptions lasting upwards of 20-30 seconds, play for a few seconds, interruption, etc. Yet Window's Task Manager shows no other significant process use of CPU resources.

    Hello! You've posted your question in the iPhoto for iOS forum. This forum is for questions about using Apple's iPhoto.app on an iPhone or iPad. Do you have an iPhone or iPad that you're synchronizing pictures with your PC? If so, you should probably post your question in the Using iPhone or Using iPad forum. We can also ask the Hosts to move this topic into the correct forum if we know which hardware device you're using.

  • Photoshop elements 7.0 (organizer) has stopped working, how do I fix this?

    photoshop elements 7.0 (organizer) has stopped working, How do I fix this?

    Start PSE to get to the Welcome screen.
    Hold down the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys and click Organize. Keep holding down the keys until you see the Catalog window.
    Select your catalog and click Repair.  Select “repair anyway” even if PSE doesn’t find problems.
    Then for good measure, click Optimize.
    If repairing resolves your issue then fine else repeat the above steps, but click New to create a new catalog.  If you’re able to import photos into the new catalog and the Organizer works fine, then problem can be old catalog.
    In that case you can try regenerating the thumbnails.  Do Show All, Edit > Select All, and then Edit > Update Thumbnail.

  • AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working

    When I attempt syncing iPhone 3GS with laptop, am constantly getting "AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working" message, and iTunes hangs. My new laptop is a Dell Studio 1555, Windows 7 64-bit. The phone was syncing contacts and everything ok with my former Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop, as well as my Dell PC at work (both running Windows XP Pro). Since purchasing the new laptop, I have had difficulty syncing my contacts to the phone. At first when i plugged in iPhone to sync, system would start syncing; it may have even worked ok the first time. But after that, every time I try to sync, iTunes hangs. When it hangs I use Task Manager to exit the program; most often now, i get the error message "AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working". Of course I have lost all of my contacts and ringtones on the phone, and am unable to re-sync to get contacts back on my phone. Here is latest crash message from today:

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes,as I had seen recommended somewhere in Apple Support, but it did not work. As soon as I plugged in phone to sync, the message came back. By the way I am set up to manually manage music, etc. on the iPhone sync.
    I have seen this issue but I don't remember didn't seeing any with my particular configuration. Is there anyone out there who has been able to fix this problem on their system? Help?!

  • AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working - Windows Vista Home Premium 64

    I have iTunes 9.0.1 on my Acer AX1700-U3700A running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit version. In case it matters I am using McAfee.
    I can connect my iPhone 3G to my computer and iTunes finds it. But whenever I "right click" on the iPhone icon I get the dreaded "AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working". I've followed Apple's uninstall and reinstall instructions twice to no avail. When I try "repairing" AppleMobileDeviceHelper I am told that I don't have the .msi file to repair it from.
    I've tried the "Run iTunes as an Administrator" option but I get the same result.
    I see some people recommend deleting the AppleMobileDeviceHelper binary altogether but want to make sure I'll be able to still sync my and my wife's iPhones and iPods.
    Does Apple had a fix for this?
    Is there some settings I need to change in McAfee? I've confirmed that iTunes has "Full Access" through McAfee (I'm only including this as in some other threads some pointed toward their anti-virus applications as part of the trouble.)
    Thanks in Advance,

  • AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working - Vista with itunes 7.7.0.43

    All..
    I have just installed itunes 7.7.0.43 (downloaded from apple.com not via itunes update)on my Vista machine (SP1). When I now launch itunes I get a barrage of windows reporting that "AppleMobileDeviceHelper has stopped working" a new box opens every 10 secs or so.
    This as you can guess cannot be right..
    Anyone else get this and I guess do we have to wait for a fix..?

    I'm having this problem too.
    I'm new to Vista, couldn't find a way to copy the text of the error window itself, but here is a copy of information from the area you mentioned (some of the information is different in every error event):

  • I installed Canon Pixma MG5520, since, always get "canon quick menu has stopped working" how do I fi

    I installed Canon Pixma MG5520 on win 7, since, always get "canon quick menu has stopped working" how do I fix please?

    Hi thaluza,
    We can see if there are files in a folder called TWAIN_32 other than those related to the printer that may be causing a conflict with the Quick Menu. If there are, we can temporarily remove the files to see if this will resolve the issue.
    To move the non-Canon Twain files from the Twain_32 folder, please follow these steps:
    1. Go to Computer / My Computer and locate the C: drive, then double-click on it to open.
    2. Locate the WINDOWS folder, then double-click to open it.
    3. Locate the TWAIN_32 folder, then double-click to open it.
    4. Inside of the TWAIN_32 folder, you will see a folder for your printer as well as a WIATWAIN.DS file. If there are other files in that folder, you will want to move them to another location, preferably your Desktop by doing the following:
        4-1. Click on each of the other items in the folder other than the the WIATWAIN.DS file and the folder for your printer to select them. You will want to hold the the CTRL key on your keyboard while selecting each of the items until all of the items except for the two referenced above are selected. Please be sure to leave the WIATWAIN.DS file and folder related to your printer inside of the TWAIN_32 folder.
        4-2. With all of the items you want to move selected, please go to the EDIT menu and select the CUT option.
        4-3. Go to your Desktop (main window that comes up when you start Windows with all of the icons on it) and right-click your mouse in any blank area, then choose the PASTE option. The items you selected from the TWAIN_32 folder should appear on the Desktop.
    5. Try to launch the Quick Menu again.
    Hope this helps!

  • HT1338 built in camera has stopped working, how can I update or reinstall the drivers

    Built in camera has stopped working, how can I reinstall the respective drivers?

    Here are my best suggestions for your camera problem, Stephen:
    •  If you have not already done so, shut down Mac, restart,
        and try again.  If the camera still does not work, continue.
    • Try ALL relevant suggestions from Apple's Troubleshooting
       article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    (Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
       If you need to use the "reset" suggestion, use the correct reset for your Mac.
    • Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
       download and apply the latest Combo Update.  For your Mac OS,
       the current version is at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1640
    • Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
       that completes the Combo update.
    Properly applying the Combo version of updates can sometimes correct software problems, but, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem, there are no user serviceable parts of the camera.
    • If nothing else resolves your problem, yours is likely a hardware issue.
       Unless you have a current backup, make one now.
    Then use the final "Troubleshooting" suggestion:
    "... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."
