Error when I plug my iPhone in usb and itunes comes up
when I plug my iPhone in with usb connected to my computer, iTunes pops up ofcourse and opens but then a box appears and says: This iPhone cannot be used because the apple mobil device service is not started. never had this come up before, now I do have slingbox installed on my iphone and always worked good and i did the update today for the slingbox to get 3G and now i get this error, now i dont know if it is because of that update, i have no idea but i do know my iPhone isn't being recongized in itunes. help
This iPhone cannot be used because the apple mobil device service is not started.
Right-click "My Computer", and select "Manage". Expand "Services & Applications" and click "Services". Maximise the window so you can see what's going on.
Find the Apple Mobile Device Service in the list. Does the status show as "Started" and the startup type as "Automatic"? -

Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors - Support - Apple
Configure your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore. -
I want to set up my iphone to sync with my macbook but when I plug it in via USB my iphone doesn't show up under devices in itunes even though it is plugged in correctly and is charging through my computer. How do I get it to show up? I've tried restarting my computer.
If your iPhone does not appear under Devices in iTunes after you connect it to your Mac, refer to the troubleshooting suggestions here:

My itouch just crashed unexpectantly. I can't open the itouch up. Also,nothing would show up even when i plug it in into the computer... What do I do now? please help! Thanks!
Well plug it in again, and then hold the "Lock" and "Home" button at the same time for about 10 seconds. See if that helps.

my computer does not recognize my phone when I plug it in via USB. how do I get it to recognize my phone? I need to backup and download updates.
Hello Raytw8425,
It sounds like your phone is not recognzied in iTunes anymore. I recommend the troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
Here is an overview of the troubleshooting to be done:
1. Update iTunes
2. Check the USB cable
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
4. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
6. Check for third-party software conflicts
If the issue persists, try uninstalling iTunes and its associated apps with either of these two articles depending on your operating system version:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923

Take care,

I have an IPhone 4 that turns off on its own. When I plug the phone into an outlet, it says to connect to iTunes. When i connect my phone to itunes, the screen displays the apple icon and doesn't connect to iTunes. I need to backup info on this phone so I can apply my back up to a new iPhone. Is there any another way i can do this? My older phone will not show it's connected to iTunes. I used iCloud on the phone with problems, but I didn't back up all the info thru iCloud. Is there another way to back up?
Sounds like your phone is in recovery mode. In this case, all data on it is gone. There's nothing to back up.

apple sign shows up and then turns off after a few seconds, and i can not connect to my itunes
I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2. My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone). I was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

Hi folks, you might know how to fix this: my wifi shows (no hardware installed) then I went to system preferences and deleted the wifi connection, I went also to system information and I can not see wifi listed on Network, how can I create a new wifi or simply solve this, I have tryied shotdown pressing keys like P and R, option, etc. Please help me .
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
WRT150N v1.1: Can't connect through router, internet light isnt on
Recently there was a thunderstorm last week and it somehow shorted out my cable modem. (It was hooked up to a surge protector and still somehow got damaged..) The router seemed to be fine, however, after having replaced the modem, my desktop can't connect through to the internet nor my laptop on it's wifi. The internet only works when I direclty link the modem to my desktop/laptop.
I've tried unplugging the modem and router for 30 seconds then re-plugginging the modem, waiting for initialization, then booting up the router but i've found no luck in getting it working as it used to.. I searched up past posts, and the "Setting-Up a Linksys Router with Cable Internet Service" doesnt say what to do if the light for internet doesnt turn on.
Another odd thing the router does is that, for some reason, the 3rd port for ethernet is lit up when theres no cable in the port. I checked to see if the light would work in other ports when it was connected and it shows to work fine, just with the additional 3rd port constantly on.
I'm not sure if it helps, but after hooking up the router I pinged it and it responded with:

Anyone know how I can get this router working again?Hm, i didn't see any change in anything after completing the steps.. I just had my cable/internet provider service technician come over and take a look at it. Basically, he told me the modem is probably fried somewhere and said I should invest in getting a new router. Surge protectors are apparently just a pretty name for "a good way to blow out multiple expensive devices." So now I'm out to get a wrt160N

Why won't my laptop recognize my iPod nano second generation when I plug it in via USB? It does recognize my ipad mini. I was hoping to transfer music from my iPod to my ipad mini
1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. You can use some third party software like this iPod file transfer, it can help you copy files from iPod to computer, and then you can use iTunes to sync the music to your iPad mini.
7. Check for third-party software conflicts. -
Some of the songs I bought from iTunes will not sync to my iPhone. They show up on my phone, but the letters look faed and I can't play them. How do I fix this? I tried restoring my iPhone and it didn't work.
Sorry, I meant the letters look "faded" not faed.

My iPhone 4 will not turn on, when I plug it into my computer and load up iTunes its in recovery mode and the only option is to restore my device to factory settings, I have no back up of my phone I've also tried the home/sleep button thing but nothing, I have literally done every method I was told, I checked for water damage and that's fine. I don't want to restore my phone or buy a new one or pay for repairs because that's wasting money when it could be a simple way to fix it. And yes, I've also tried charging it and turning it in. I really need some help with my phone
That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.
