Someone please help! I do not know how to fix this. It keeps saying my Mobile Device has not been started and I can't get my phone to show up in the iTunes window AT ALL. It will charge while plugged in, but it just won't come up in iTunes.
Sorry, the error message should read, "...the Apple Mobile Device service has not been started."

Your computer could possibly be running in selective startup mode where any nonessential services are disabled temporarily until a restart. If that isn't the case you can check out http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567 for information on restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows computers.

Without sync to Itunes my iphone will start to turn into an antique soon and when i try using the restarting method by service there's a pop up msg saying "service apple mobile device failed to start. verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services".
Please help me as well.Perhaps this is what you need?

iOS devices require Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows XP: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Open the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel and verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program" (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click "Programs and Features"). Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below:
Reinstall iTunes for Windows XP
Reinstall iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7
If after reinstalling iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support is still not installed, follow steps in Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.
