Apple mobile device service not started
Each time i try to sync my iphone to itunes it keeps on saying "apple mobile device service not started"
I know how to start it and everything its that when i start it it says "Windows could nt start the Aplle Mobile Device service on local computer"
I have the newest itunes and i have windows 7first I would check the event viewer for into about what goes wrong that cause the service to fail
if this don't give a clear image about what the problem is
then I would uninstall itunes and resinstall it
if that didn't help I would ask questions about solve the problem in the itunes for windows forum where people wise in the ways of itunes would be more likely to read your post

Does Windows give you an error code number when AMDS fails to start, Love? If so what number do you you get? -
Fix for Apple Mobile Device Services not starting
Finally a fix for Apple Mobile Device Services not starting. Basically I got this from someone else in these forums and it worked. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\AllUsers\Application Data\Apple and delete any file in there that says Apple Mobile Device Services (I understand these are cached files...I had about 8 files to delete). Next go to your control panel, click on Add/Delete programs, find Apple Mobile Device Support and delete (remove) it. Once this is all done do not reboot, rather open itunes and go to Help menu /Check for Updates and update to the latest version. This will install the latest version of iTunes and also a new version of Apple Mobile Device Services. Next reboot and it should work for many of you...it did for me. Open iTunes and plug in your device...good luck. I wrote this from memory so if some of the phrases don't match exactly what you see I apologize. Also, this worked for me on a Windows XP computer.
Thanks for posting this, my iTunes randomly started saying the Apple Mobile Device was stopped, and apple's solutions didn't help. I hope this one will, but what do I do if I have the latest iTunes, so it doesn't update? Wait till they come out with an update? It says I need to run the iTunes installer, but I can't find that. Please help, this is really annoying me...=(

Apple Mobile Devices Services not starting (Error 1067)
I think tried everything. I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled iTunes. I've done the selective startup via msconfig. I've reverted to older versions of iTunes. I don't have any Mega key or Mega-whatever software installed. No matter what I do, iTunes will not recognize my phone, or my wife's phone, nor can I get the Apple Mobile Devices service to start in Windows Services.
Do I switch to a Droid now or what?On occasion, the Windows Live LSPs can be the source of LSP trouble. It can be difficult to track down and uninstall the associated items, though. But if that's what is afoot, clearing the Winsock registry key(s) manually is worth a try.
