    Depends on what version of windows you're running to give an accurate response... but it looks like you've posted the how to article as the title.... so i guess i'm a little confused as to why you're asking.

    Select Apple Mobile Device and click Stop the service as shown below:
    After the service has stopped, click Start the service.
    After the Apple Mobile Device service has started again, open iTunes and connect the device.
    Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • Itunes 11 will not install on my Windows 7 computer because it cannot start the 'Apple Mobile Device' service, what can I do?

    itunes 11 will not install on my Windows 7 computer because it cannot start the 'Apple Mobile Device' service, what can I do?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • I cannot start my Apple Mobile Device Service.

    Both my Ipad and Iphone 4 are not recognized in Itunes.  I can sync, transfer and backup but there is no icon for the devices so I cannot delete photos.  I have tried to stop and restart the Apple mobile device service.  I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes.  Does anyone have any other solutions?

    Hello schatter,
    It sounds like your iPad and iPhone 4 are not recognized in iTunes. You have already done some really good troubleshooting steps, and thank you for providing all the steps you have already taken. 
    I found an article that has a few more steps for you to take in regards to this issue (you can skip the steps you have already taken):

  • Error Message: This iPod can not be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started.  How do I start it?

    How do I start the Apple Mobile Device service?  or maybe I shouldn't get it.   I recently downloaded a Netflix app thinking it would work on my older iPod running version 3.1.3 and is only a 8 Gig device.  Could this be my problem?  The device doesn't even show up in "My Computer" or under devices in iTunes.  Any help would be appreciated?

    See this article for instructions on restarting the service (or re-installing if necessary).

  • Apple Mobile Device Services won't start

    When I attempt to install the latest version of itunes on my Windows XP machine it consistently fails. It starts by not being able to start the Apple Mobile Device Service. When I ignore, it finished but when I try to start iTunes, I receive the message:
    This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found.
    I have tried repairing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but I cannot get passed the Services issue. I have full admin rights to my machine. I can see in MSConfig that the service has been stopped but I cannot enable it.
    Help. Please? Thanks!
    I read the answer on starting the service. I attempted that but the computer responded with cannot start service, Error 1053, the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
    Should I just delete that piece manually and do a repair? Thanks!!
