Hi Mileymarie,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The article below will help you troubleshoot the issue you are having with your iPhone connecting to your PC:
How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567
If an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is not recognized in iTunes on Windows, the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) may need to be restarted. Alternatively, you may see the following error when connecting your device:"This [device] cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device Service is not started."
This document explains how to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS)
Set the Apple Mobile Device Service Startup type to Automatic
Remove and reinstall iTunes and AMDS
I hope this information helps ....

I just updated to the latest version of itunes, n ow when I plug in my iphone, it says it cannot sync because "apple mobile device service is not started" this never happen before, what do I do??
The Apple Mobile Device Service is a part of sever programs that "help" iTunes on Windows. It may have been disabled in the Microsoft program, msconfig, or using a third party utility, such as CCleaner.
I would suggest trying to find and enable the service. To do so, click on the start button, click "run", and then type "msconfig" look for the iTunes Helper entry and make sure that it's enabled.
Additionally, there may be another service which you will have to enable. You can type something like "service.msc", (I'm not sure exactly) to see the "Services" control panel and look for it there.
If you can't find either, feel free to post here again.

What does "the Apple Mobile Device service is not started" mean? I updated iTunes and I got this message when connecting my iPod Touch (2nd gen).
Never mind--I think I found the answer through other posts. Thanks!

Not sure why only one particular phone is having this problem but this article will help you check and restart it if it's in fact not started: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567. Even if it is running, suggest you stop and restart it.

Apple Mobile Device Service is Not Started error
While trying to backup my iPhone iTunes keeps giving me the error saying apple mobile device service is not started. After searching the support forums, reinstalling iTunes and manually starting the service i have found that the service stops when iTunes loads so manually starting it has no effect. I have attempted running it as administrator and as a new user with no success. I have also found that iTunes cannot connect to the iTunes store despite the fact other computers my house can and i have no problem getting online in a browser. Is there anything that i am missing? I am running Windows 7 64-Bit with iTunes 9.1.1.12 64-bit
When you reinstalled iTunes did you completely remove the other installation? Check this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923. If you are not connecting, there is something else going on, especially if the service will not stay running. Try uninstalling completly before the reinstallation.

When I plug in my ipad a message says: "this ipad cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started"? what do i do?
Hi all,
I am also getting the same message on my iPad, when connecting to a Win7 PC.
I have tried the solutions given at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567 but no solution.
I am desperate to get a backup of my iPad. The PC recognises the device but iTunes fails to do so and says -
"this iPad cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started".
Please help! -
I bought my IPad 2 from a friend. I have reset to clear all of his information out. I am trying to connect it to my computer to sync my itunes and I keep getting the message that my IPad can't be used because Apple Mobile Device Service is not started can anyone help with this?
I cannot find "Other" devices. I found Apple Mobile Device under Universal Bus Controllers but cannot see "recovery mode" or any other status. I use Windows Vista.
When I try to restart Apple Mobile Device Service I get the following message: "The Apple Mobile Device Service on Local Computer started then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs". What does this mean?
During the last 48 hours I was able to see my iPad in iTunes only one time during many attemnpts to connect . I haven't been able to see it during the llast several attempts.
Any suggestions? The standard suggestions have not worked: i.e. stop then start AMDS; tuurn off iPad and PC, then restart both and reconfrom iPad to PC; reload iTunes.
