Error when I plug my iPhone in usb and itunes comes up

when I plug my iPhone in with usb connected to my computer, iTunes pops up ofcourse and opens but then a box appears and says: This iPhone cannot be used because the apple mobil device service is not started. never had this come up before, now I do have slingbox installed on my iphone and always worked good and i did the update today for the slingbox to get 3G and now i get this error, now i dont know if it is because of that update, i have no idea but i do know my iPhone isn't being recongized in itunes. help

This iPhone cannot be used because the apple mobil device service is not started.
Right-click "My Computer", and select "Manage". Expand "Services & Applications" and click "Services". Maximise the window so you can see what's going on.
Find the Apple Mobile Device Service in the list. Does the status show as "Started" and the startup type as "Automatic"?

  • Blue screen error when I plug my iphone into my PC

    HELP!!! I just got an iPhone, and now when I try to plug it into my PC, my PC crashes and gives me a blue screen error. I have made sure I have the latest updates of itunes, and Windows, and I am just not sure what to do . . . Can somebody please walk me through this? Everything I read talks about syncing, but that requires that the computer doesn't crash the minute I put the iPhone into the USB jack . . .
    I did sync it once fine, downloaded a few apps, which was also fine. Now I took some photos with my iphone, and wanted to put them on my computer, but it won't even let me plug it in. Please HELP!!!
    Thank you.

    My System also crahses from time to time, on connecting the iPhone. I have also checked this thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1174035) but I dont have a logitech CAMERA. I do have a G15 Keyboard and a mouse but nothing else. THe Problem with the crash is: My pc neither shows a bluescreen nor is rebooting. Means: direct power off, like I would have pulled out the cable...
    very weird....plase help me, if you have any Idea.

  • ITunes Store error when I plug in iPhone

    Anyone else getting the "Could not complete the iTunes Store request. The iTunes store may be busy"
    It was working (but not activating) until around 11pm last night. Now as of 8am this morning it's the same thing. Is my iPhone dead?
    I am on the east coast (NJ). Anyone else getting this message?
    BTW, I had to initially fix a billing issue (AT&T told me I had to pay balance before they would activate). I did and now I'm getting this error.

    You might want to recheck with AT&T. Those errors usually come up when there are billing credit issues.

  • I keep getting a podcast syncing error when I plug my iphone into computer "podcasts no longer exist"?

    Exact error message is: Podcasts on the iPhone cannot be synced because all of the podcasts selected for syncing no longer exist.  I'm sure this is a settings issue or something?  My phone is 4s, and I have the podcasts on the phone, have subscribed, have them on the computer -- why do these not sync?  I don't get it.  Thanks.

    Sorry, the error message should read, "...the Apple Mobile Device service has not been started."

  • I am unable to use Itunes because it freezes when I plug my Iphone 3g in.

    Hi,
    I needed a phone, so my brother gave me his old Iphone 3g. I instantly downloaded the latest itunes (10.5.3) and I purchased some songs and application at itunes store. Unfortunately when I plug my iphone in it freezes itunes and I can't put anything on the phone. My iphone has absolutely nothing on the phone, no songs, apps, contacts, nothing.
    I have tried for about a week now. Looking at forums on the internet and downloading alternatives to itunes like media monkey and foobar and alot of other programs to be able to put music on my phone.I spoke to my brother and he had no troubles at all with the phone.
    I have no idea what to do. PLEASE HELP.
    PC/Laptop- HP Pavilion dv6-2109AX
    Windows 7
    Iphone 3g
    Software: 4.2.1
    I have tried plugging the iphone in different ports. I heard you need to plug it into a 2.0 usb port, but I tried all of them. I don't know if my laptop has 2.0 usb ports because it still didn't work.
    I tried reinstalling itunes the correct order multiple times but that didn't work.
    I tried deleting the crash files that I didnt even have. I don't have the appdata file to delete its contents, if I do I couldn't find it.
    I had to delete my virus software and disable it while I plugged my iphone in.I restarted my computer multiple times and restored my computer a few times and also deleted alot of useless files and movies to make my computer run faster.
    As soon as I plug my iphone in, itunes instantly freezes. When unplugged itunes instantly unfreezes.
    Also I have the original Iphone charger.
    HELP! WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
    Thanks in advance. (:

  • TS1363 For some reason my PC won't recognize my iPod and iPhone when I plug them in via USB.  It has worked for years, now I get an error message stating "unknown device"

    For some reason my PC won't recognize my iPod and iPhone when I plug them in via USB....they have worked for years, now all of a sudden I get a message stating "unknown device".  Any ideas for a fix?

    HI @madymessyy 
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a terrific place to find answers.
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I understand that when you originally connected your IPhone about a year ago it was recognized properly.
    Now when you connect your IPhone nothing happens but it does charger it, (until you used the last cable.)
    Herei is  a link from the microsoft.com that should help.Windows 8.1 and Apple iPhone 5
    One of the posters states this resolved the issue for him. How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows from Apple support.

  • Error message 'An unknown error occurred (-50)' It repeats this message when I plug my iPhone

    When I open iTunes, I get the error message 'unknown error has occurred (-50)' It repeat this message when I plug my iPhone in and it will not let me sync!! Please help, I think this began after an update of iTunes, but it has not resolved after trying to revert to the earlier version.

    Hi, Hoofin22. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are a couple articles that provide some helpful troubleshooting steps for error -50.  Also make sure the most current version of iTunes is installed. 
    iTunes Store: "Error (-50)" when downloading purchased content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1583
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause this error. Contact the software manufacturer that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows:How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    Hope that helps,
    Jason H.
