Ipod touch and iphone cannot connect, as no apple mobile device usb
First the problems was my ipod touch, it did not connect to itunes, my computer or would not charge. I tried everything, uninstalling apple software, restarting apple mobile device manager. I tried to find the apple mobile device usb, and it was just not there. My iphone has been connecting fine in terms of connecting and charging, so when i connected it i found the apple mobile device usb and followed the instructions on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538#error52 so i went to delete the apple mobile device usb, then when i went to scan for hardwear changes it didnt install back, so now also my iphone cannot connect to itunes, but unlike the ipod touch it does connect to the computer and charges.
Please some one help me!!!! i have been trying to fix it for ages, and and am at my wits end.
thanks
Have you tried:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
- If your computer sees the iPhone but not the iPod and you are using the same cable and USB port that indicates an iPod problem. Have you tried resetting the iPod.? Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Also try running diagnostics.

Every device (iphone4, iphone4s, ipad2) I try to hook up to iTunes gives me a message "this device cannot connect because the apple mobile device service is not setup" does anyone have ideas as to why it keeps popping up? It just started doing this.
I'd start with the following document with that one:

my Ipad will not connect with Itunes prompt states this Ipad cannot connect because the Apple mobile device service has not started "??s "
Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc. -

The only way is to connect the iPod to a computer with iTunes and restore. It may be necessary to place the iPod in recovery mode in order to restore. For recovery mode:

IPhone 6, iOS 8 - Apple Mobile Device USB Driver wont install
Ive just purchased an iPhone 6 from the Apple store. Of course because its the latest model its running the latest iOS (iOS 8.0).
I tried connecting it to my computer with the included USB lightening cable. My computer attempted to install the driver and then the error message appeared "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver install was not successful".
I have tried another USB port. I also tried a solution from a previous similar topic on the Apple discussion threads that suggested uninstalling iTunes & the 3 Apple software additions: Apple Application Support, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support.
Once the above software was uninstalled i connected my iPhone6 via USB to my computer and device manager read it fine. I assumed my issue was resolved so i continued to reinstall iTunes once again. Once all complete i connected once more and the original error reoccurred.
Is this an issue with just iPhone6 models, iOS8 users or is there an underlying problem?OK. I found my answer, thanks to another posting.
Uninstall iTunes
Uninstall Apple Software Update
Uninstall Mobile Device Service
Uninstall Bonjour
Uninstall Application Support....all in this order.
Clear everything from Trash.
Restart PC
Install latest version of iTunes.
It worked! -

IPod Touch (and iPhone) can't find Belkin N Wireless Router
I spent over an hour looking for an answer to this problem today and accidently found a solution - so am posting the answer.
Have a 2 year old Belkin N Wireless Router (model F5D8236-4v1) with SSID broadcasting on and WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK) security selected.
All the Windows laptops in the house could see the wireless SSID and could successfully log in after entering the WPA/WPA2 password.
Both iPod Touch and iPhone 3GS could NOT see the SSID. Also entering the wireless router IP address directly instead of the SSID did NOT work.
After an hour of looking for solutions on-line, including:
- Tried no security
- Tried WEP 64 and 128 bit security
then stumbled across a thread in a forum where someone referred to changing a "-" (dash) in an SSID name to a character. So tried this.
The old SSID name includes spaces - "name name1 name2". I deleted the spaces, and the problem was solved.
This Belkin router comes with a default name of BelkinN_WirelessXXXXXX, but does not say in the online help to NOT use spaces in the SSID name. And again, the Windows laptops could see the wireless Router while it had the SSID name INCLUDING the spaces in the name.
Hope this saves at least one person going through the same wasted hour.Click on the blue arrow to the right of the network name, if IP address starts with "169." ,restart your router. It should connect properly after your router reboots in a minute or two.

I had my ipod touch and iphone synced to itunes on my PC and basically managed my photos and music, etc. from there. However recently my computer died and I am considering replacing it with an ipad eventually. Can I still add stuff onto my two devices? And if so, am I limited to apple store purchases only? Can I retain all the photos and non-apple store downloaded music that is presently on these two devices? Any guidance in this area will be very welcome!
Morning @mb,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes: Transferring media from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1209
Music imported from a CD or another source
iTunes cannot transfer this media back to a computer. Make sure to back up your iTunes Library, or you can use iTunes Match2.
Best of luck,
Mario
