When I tried to sync my iphone 4 and ipad in iturnes, an error message popped up saying this device cannot be used because Apple Mobile Device service is not started! What does that mean and how do I start service? I've had these devices for over a year and update and sync regularly and have never seen this message before!
I got that message yesterday. I'm new at this so don't know if this is the correct solution but it worked for me. I reset my iPod by holding the 2 buttons down until the apple appears AND I restarted my computer. After that everything worked.

"This iPad cannot be used as the Apple Mobile Device Service is not started". Does this mean anything to anyone? How can I sync my iPad again? Many thanks.
In Windows 7, go to Control Panel, Adminisstrative Tools, Computer management, Services. In the servies box will be Apple Mobile Device (mine is 4th from top) click on this and on the left side you can start service or right click the service and start from the drop down menu. I set mine to "delayed start" no issues since then.
