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.

Please help! -

can someone help me figure this out my phone wont sync cause it says -This phone cannot be used because the apple moblie device service is not started. why ? it worked fine yesterday
That is because your apple mobile device service is not started.
The apple mobile device is the thing that allows your phone to communicate with your computer. First thing to try is restarting your computer then plugging your phone in. Check with activity monitor / task manager to see if it is running. -
