How do I start/turn on Apple Mobile Device?

I just plugged in my iPod into my PC (Windows Vista) and I got an alert saying that my Apple Mobile Device has stopped working. How do I fix this problem?

Type "Apple Mobile Device service" into the search bar at the top of this page by "Support"

    Apple Mobile Device is a background service that helps iTunes communicate with the iPhone or iPod Touch.
    This article discusses how to restart it:

  • HT201628 How to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Spport on Windows

    my new iphone 5s cannot be recognized by itune
    I installed the newest version of itune
    The itune asked me to uninstall the apple mobile device support and intue
    because i need newer version of apple mobile device support
    I tried to uninstall the apple mobile device support
    but it still in the list of my programs and features
    Is there some other way to uninstall the apple mobile device support?
    thanks a lot

    Thanks, Tiinsky.  I followed your instructions (deleting the Apple Mobile Device Support folder under C:) \Program FIles\Common Files\Apple  and this seems to have done the trick.
    Incidentally, even after doing so, I was still unable to uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support through the control panel.  It would go three-quarters of the way through the process and then roll back the whole uninstallation. 
    However, removing those folders did allow me to successfully re-install iTunes--something I hadn't been able to do before. Previously, it would stall out and give me an error message reading "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services" with the choices Retry Abort Ignore--none of which worked.
    My operating system is Vista.

  • TS1424 re installed itunes over and over and keep getting  MSVCR80.dll is missing ,, Or verify that you have sufficient priviledges to start system service apple mobile device.. and thenError 7 windows error  126 what do i do?

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
