IPhone no longer recognized by ITunes, and Service is not starting

Hi
My IPhone is no longer recognized by ITunes. I already tried the steps on http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495, but had no luck, and I also tried to remove all relevant Apple software and reinstall, but this did not result in anything either.
Now, also, if I start up ITunes, it tells me, that the "Apple Mobile Device Service" is not running. Trying to start this service by hand, did not work. Following the rules on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 did not work.
I am running Windows 7 Professional 64bit, my ITunes version is 9.0.3.
This is my third PC in this household this has happened (i switched the PCs after it appeared on my other PCs), and I am simply not willing to do that again.
Please, if anyone has an answer, it would be greatly appreciated.
cheers, Roland

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2553 as a last ditch effort but if it has been recognized by computer before and you did everything in HT1923 and TS1495 then i would say like msconfig stuff or disk cleanup and such.. it would be worth it to contact apple tech support if HT1923, TS1495 and HT2553 doesn't work.

My iphone 4s is recognized by itunes and iphoto, but it will not show as a device in finder for macbook pro

My iPhone 4s is recognized by itunes and iphoto however it does not show up in finder under devices.

I don't agree - I have two IMacs and two iPhones - the iPhone 4S show up on one machine, but not the other. They do show that they are charging, and a memory stick will open on the same USB ports. So, I don't think this is how they are "supposed to work"......

Iphone 5S no longer recognized in ITunes and so cannot sync

Iphone 5S is no longer recognized in ITunes so it cannot sync. I am not seeing the driver listed and therefore the recommendation to repair the driver does not work for me. Have rebooted, deleted Itunes and reuploaded many many times. I have read and tried all the "Apple" fixes listed. I use Kasperasky Anti-Virus and wondered if that could be blocking the driver needed. I have added the Apple programs to Kaspersky's exclusion list but that did not work. Seems ridiculous to spend any more money to download songs in ITunes if I can never sync my Iphone 5S to get them on my phone. Apple techs, please help - just recommending the standard fixes I keep reading has not helped at all. Anyone else have a different suggestion? Thanking you in advance as I've spent so many hours on trying to find a fix.

Thank you for your suggestions but I still have the problem. The Iphone 5S is not recognized and I have deleted Kaspersky off my computer (and still have not put it back on yet). I still do not see the Apple Mobile Service USB Driver listed. I had done this process previously (several times) but went through it all again in your order just in case I missed something. I am wondering if there is a way to go back to the previous version of ITunes in case it was the ITunes update causing me the problems. I do not think I can blame it on Kaspersky since it is not on my computer now and I have the same problem.
I also notice that the Iphone is not listed in my devices in Windows 7 - not sure if it was before or is suppose to be for sure - but just noting it is not. I tried the option to add devices but Windows does not find the Iphone 5S. Just thought I would add that information in case that should lead to a solution. Again thanks for your time - would appreciate any other suggestions. I don't think you can use Apple Support without paying money so would like to find help from someone else having the problems. I think it is odd so many people are having problems with their phone being recognized or sometimes just it syncing - and various steps have helped others (like uninstalling and re-installing). Thanks for any help.

IPhone 3GS no longer recognized in iTunes and does not charge via wall

I upgraded my iMac to iTunes 9.2 when it came out.
My wife then upgraded her iPhone 3GS to iOS4.
Since then it is not recognized in iTunes and does not charge via the wall adapter.
I realize this topic crosses over with several ongoing discussions, but there are no 3rd party peripherals involved here.
The only major changes to our set up have been the itunes and iOS upgrades.
The battery is running down, any ideas to fix this, or other similar experiences welcome.

Went to the Apple store and they replaced the cable.

Iphone no longer recognized in itunes

My iPhone is no longer recognized in iTunes. I can see it as a device in Windows, but it no longer appears in iTunes.

Well, after going thru the Apple fix of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes (and all related products), it now recognizes the iPhone. Why is it I have to spend 2.5 hours going thru this process instead of Apple releasing only tested and proven products? The same thing happened with my first iPhone when I brought it home and installed it, it blew up Windows. I had to do a system restore. Look if you guys don't want to seriously support Windows, fine just say so. I'll move on to a Windows phone and be perfectly happy.
My first computer was an Apple 2+, but I got driven off by high pricing and limited software. Apple people like to make fun of Microsoft, but I haven't had these kind of problems with Windows since about Release 2.something.
I'm done screwing around with you guys. Call me if you ever start to act professionally and get it right.

TS1363 My ipod nano 5th generation is no longer recognized by itunes, and won't play any of it's music. It still shows it all listed, but freezes up if you select a song to play. Is there a way to restore it?

My ipod nano 5th generation will no longer play any of it's loaded songs. It still plays the video that is on it, and the radio works. It is not recognized by itunes and I have gone through all their help steps. Is there some other way to restore it?

If the iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost under your warranty.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Video IPOD no longer recognized by Itunes and wont Update

This is a long complicated issue. My Ipod has been working flawlessly until 2 weeks ago. Someone tried to plug it up to their computer to charge it and it wiped out my library and added their library. At first i was thinking no big deal, i will just reconnect it with my computer and it will load my library back on. However once connected to my computer it is not recognized by itunes. So i did a reset , which seemed to be working great and it started "updating" about 80% through that process it gave me an error message that says " This disc can not be written to or written from" now I have no idea why it would say that? and although it seems completely wiped out and useless, it still shows that much memeory is missing in the "about ipod" screen on the ipod. So i know the information is there somewhere , somehow?... Anyway I dont know what to do, Does anybody have any suggestions?
Oh and I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the Itunes program to make sure it is up to date. WOuld adding new songs to my library have caused this problem?

1. Try Resetting the iPod. Hold Select and Menu for 6-10 seconds - until you see the Apple Symbol.
2. Use iPod Updater to restore your iPod to factory settings.
See if those two steps clear up your problem.

IPhone isn't recognized by iTunes, and when it is, data speeds are slow!

Hey all,
For the last few months I have been having an issue with the drivers on my computer for Apple iPhone. Before, it would connect to iTunes just fine, and would work flawlessly. Now either it connects to iTunes and it being recognized by Windows Explorer as a camera doesn't show up, or Windows Explorer picks it up as a camera, but it doesn't communicate with iTunes. I have noticed that when the PC picks the phone up as a camera, "MTP Device" shows up under "Portable Devices" in Device Manager. When iTunes can pick the phone up, it shows up under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" as "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver".
I have tried various tricks with driver installing/uninstalling. If I want my computer to connet to iTunes, I need to uninstall and reinstall the driver with my iPhone connected, or it doesn't work at all. It appears as a hardware error and driver error before I uninstall the driver. Deleting the driver software does nothing. When I do this trick, the transfer speeds between my iPhone are slow. An example is, it takes 5 hours to synchronize 161 songs to the iPhone. If I can manage to get the iPhone to show up as a device under the USB controllers, transfer speeds between the computer and phone are normal. Changing the USB cable and chosing a different port doesn't help. A complete restore of iOS software revealed no results. I just started with a clean OS install a half a year ago, I am not looking forward to wiping my OS to fix this... any help on fixing this? Thanks.

Have you tried to reset the iphone, holding the sleep and home button together for 10 seconds?
Also, a firewire cable only charges the iphone. You will need a usb cable to sync - the usb cable does not allow for charging I think.
When opening the preference window in itunes, there should be a Sync icon, all the way to the right, when clicking on that Sync icon - I think it is the iphone icon - does the name of the iphone appear in the window?

Iphone no longer recognized by itunes or Win 7 since download latest version

Since downloading latest version of itunes, my iphone is not recognized by itunes or by my PC, running Windows 7 all fixes applied. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

HT1349 Have gone to sync Itunes and program does not start up. Have uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing. Very frustrating as it has 6 devices I maintain.

Have gone to update and sync Iphones and Ipods and Itunes does not start up.

Both the sccbase.dll and slbcsp.dll failed giving the error "LoadLibrary("xxxxxx.dll") failed. - The specified module could not be found."
There's our likely culprits. We'd better try swapping them out on the PC.
(The instructions I'm about to give are quite possibly going to sound odd ... I'll explain what we're doing and why at the end of the post.)
Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\ directory. (If you've set a different directory from \Windows\ as your Systemroot, look for \System32\in the alternate Systemroot rather than Windows.)
Can you see sccbase.dll and slbcsp.dll in there?
If so, drag each of them to your Desktop.
Now close the C:\Windows\System32\ window, wait about 5 seconds, and then open navigate to C:\Windows\System32\ again. Have copies of sccbase.dll and slbcsp.dll reappeared in that directory?
If one or both of the dlls aren't replaced and/or you get an error message from Windows saying you have a system file missing, move the dlls back into \System32\ from your desktop, and post back.
(What we're doing here is using XP's Windows File Protection system. It maintains a \dllcache where copies of essential dlls are kept on the PC. If it detects that a dll from \System32\ is missing, or has been replaced by an earlier version, and it has a current version of the dll in the dllcache, it will move a copy of the correct version of the dll into \System32\. There's more information about this in the following document from Microsoft: Description of the Windows File Protection feature.)
If the dlls are replaced, try restarting the PC and then relaunching iTunes again. Does it launch this time?
If it doesn't launch, try reregistering sccbase.dll and slbscp.dll again. Do they reregister properly, or do you get an error message again?

I have downloaded the latest version of Itunes and it will not start up. Nothing happens when I click on the icon or go to the program itself and click. Help please?

I have downloaded the most recent version of Itunes on my pc running Vista 32 . When I click on the icon nothing happens. Same thing when I go to the program and click. I have removed the software and reloaded it twice and it continues not to work. Please advise how I may be able to solve this problem?

IPhone no longer recognized by iTunes

I've searched the forum for this topic. I've done ABSOLUTELY every suggestion in each one of them. iTunes will still not see my iPhone. The only time I was successful was with msconfig. I had to turn bonjour service on. start iTunes. then I was prompted to turn on Apple device thingy. Turned it on, plugged in phone, and it showed up. Left both services running and automatic, rebooted. Itunes refused to recognize iPhone again. I am completely fed up with this thing. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

hi. i had same prob with my 3G and the missus 3Gs.
spent a good hour or so on phone to apple support being run through a million and one things to try, to be eventually told it was an issue with microsoft, and not apples itunes update. despite my words to the contrary, he said he couldn't help me any further.
luckily i have tech geek friend who looked into it and gave me some directions to look for, and it turned out to be the apple mobile device driver. it was missing or incomplete in the update. eventually got it sorted by updating the driver, but i had to do it for each device. for some reason just updating it didn't work for all devices in one go.
trouble is i cant for the life of me remember where i found the update. i'll keep looking, but i hope that maybe this helps, cause since doing this action, neither phone has had an issue with itunes.

My iphone is not showing in itunes, and it is not starting up iphoto when i connect it.

my iphone is not recognized when i connect to my macbook

This is what I did:
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode
A small guide on how to put your iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode. Works with all G’s of iPod touch / iPhone
What is DFU: Device Firmware Upgrade
Step 1: Turn off your iPod touch / iPhone completely and connect to PC / mac
Step 2: Hold down the Power button for 3 seconds
Step 3: Without releasing the power button, also hold the Home button for 10 seconds
Step 4: Without releasing the home button, release the power button and keep holding the Home button for 20 seconds.
Itunes will identify that you are in DFU mode.
That's when I got the black screen with USB and iTunes icons. iTunes itself, did not show my phone.
