Erased all content on 3G but now won't sync with iTunes. Error states, "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started." I don't want phone service on this old 3G. Just want to use it as an iTouch. Any suggestions?

Christina I can assume you are using windows if so follow these steps
Close iTunes
Click Start - in the start search type in - Services - Click on services with a gear icon - look for Applemobiledevice service.
Click on it - on the left side it will give a start or stop option
click stop - then start and reopen itunes -
Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message: "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". What is the issue, had this phone over a year??
I had this problem before. I like to disable extra services to speed up my computer and I disabled the Apple Mobile Device service and had to re-enable this.
You can do that by going Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services. Once you have gone to the services window, look for Apple Mobile Device and right-click. Select "Properties". There should be some information about the service as well as the label "Startup Type" with a drop-down menu beside it. If it says "disabled", that is your problem; Change the selection to anything except disabled (Automatic is easier and ensures that you can sync as soon as itunes opens).
If this doesn't work, I would look into your anti-virus' settings. Good Luck! -

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. -
