Something in Window 7 keeps turning off Apple Mobile Device Service?

There is something that is interferring with my Apple Mobile Device Service froming staying on.  I have done EVERYTHING down to uninstalling ang re installing all itunes and related products and making sure I covered all folders that my have goodies hiding in them.  I can not get my iphone 4s or Ipad to show up.  Help??

Let's try something else.
In Computer, open local disk C:\
Open the "Program files" folder.
Open the "Common Files" folder.
Open the "Apple" folder.
Open the "Mobile Device Support" folder.
Right-click on the AppleMobileDeviceService.exe file and select "Properties".
In the Compatibility tab, check "run as administrator" and click OK.
Restart the PC. Try connecting a device again. Do you still get the message?

    I am having the same problem for three-four months now. When I called the help-desk of apple, they said windows 7 x64 wasn't compatible with itunes, and they told me that I had to wait for a newer version of itunes.

  • Windows 7 itunes 9 - apple mobile device service is not started

    Here is a tip I discovered.
    If you are running Windows 7 and having an issue your iphone being recognized by itunes (but Windows can see it fine) i.e.
    this iphone cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not stared
    Be sure you are not running this application:
    FoxyProxy Video Utility
    This will prevent the iphone and itunes to speak to each other. It will also affect other applications (Crashplan).

    Hmm, I clicked on the "This helped me" link but it doesn't sjhow that you received the five points.
    No worries. There's a slight delay in general between points assignments, and those points-assigned appearing in people's tallies. I got an automatic notification that I'd been "helpful" here and then a few minutes later the 5 appeared in my tally.
    (There's also a seperate issue I've noticed where IE 9 doesn't show points-assigned in some topics, when some other browsers do.)

    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"

    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

  • I tunes keeps telling me that this ipod cannot be used becausethe apple mobile device service is not activated. I cannot get thie device to even come up in itunes.

    I-tunes keeps telling me that this ipod cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started. It was previously working and syncing, but now windows doesn't seem to be recognizing it. What can I do?

    Hi there! You can fix this error by doing the following:
    1) Click your Start button in Windows, and click "Run".
    2) In the box that appears, type "services.msc" (without the quotes) and hit enter. A new window with a big list will appear.
    3) Find "Apple Mobile Device" service in this list, right-click it and go to "Properties".
    4) In the window that pops up, make sure that drop-down box is set to "Automatic", then click the button that says "Start". A progress bar will briefly appear and disappear and it will be started. Click Apply/OK.
    5) Try running iTunes again, it should work!

    itunes 11 will not install on my Windows 7 computer because it cannot start the 'Apple Mobile Device' service, what can I do?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.
