I tunes keeps telling me that this ipod cannot be used becausethe apple mobile device service is not activated. I cannot get thie device to even come up in itunes.

I-tunes keeps telling me that this ipod cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started. It was previously working and syncing, but now windows doesn't seem to be recognizing it. What can I do?

Hi there! You can fix this error by doing the following:
1) Click your Start button in Windows, and click "Run".
2) In the box that appears, type "services.msc" (without the quotes) and hit enter. A new window with a big list will appear.
3) Find "Apple Mobile Device" service in this list, right-click it and go to "Properties".
4) In the window that pops up, make sure that drop-down box is set to "Automatic", then click the button that says "Start". A progress bar will briefly appear and disappear and it will be started. Click Apply/OK.
5) Try running iTunes again, it should work!
