This IPod can not be used because Apple Mobile Device could not be started
Okay, so here is the deal.
Im a long time Apple user and pretty well versed into theapple stuff.
I felt like updating my iPod touch 64 GB 4G to ios 5 forwifi syncing and messages
When I plug it in it reads in C: (My Computer) but notthrough iTunes
I did all of the starting and restarting Mobile Device Managerand stuff but nothing seemed to work
(tried starting through task manager-access denied, stopped)
Device manager should be running in task manager aswell-nothing
Says its running in devices and it isn’t
I also have already reinstalled iTunes-everything is up todate
Any thoughts? Help is much appreciated
someone please help!

I have a new iPod Touch 5th gen. My computer works on Windows 7. Latest ITunes gives me this message: "this ipod can't be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes then install the 64 bit version of iTunes." I have already removed and reinstalled a couple of times--making sure to remove all the related applications as well--Bonjour, Apple Software update, Apple Application Support. Help!
(apologies for barging in, lllass.)
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now? -

I recently installed icloud on my computer, and now when I plug in my ipod touch it tells me "ipod can not be used because Apple Mobile Device service is not started". I can not find anything on my computer or my touch that seems to have anything to do with it. Anybody have any suggestions?
I'd start with the following document with that one:

IPhonne could not be used because Apple Mobile Device Service has not start
So I updated to iTunes 10.1.1.4 this morning, Since there was some "performance improvement". Worst decision ever because my iPhone 3GS does not want to connect to iTunes anymore I first got an error from Apple Software Updater that it couldn't install so I went on apples website and downloaded and successfully installed it.
I then get this random error about a service.
Here's an image of what the message is when I try and get it to connect to iTunes
http://i.screensnapr.com/mjaw7p.png
Once I saw this my first instinct was to go to Service and start it up myself! It was started so I restarted it! I then get this error
http://lulzimg.com/i01/c0ef8bae.png
So my last option was to uninstall every apple product(including bonjour, itunes, apple mobile support etc.) and restart my computer, Install again THEN restart computer. Still got the same service error. I did a CHKDSK on my computer afterwards to see what was wrong and found nothing. I really don't know what to do now except ask here. I will not format my computer since I have very important files.
P.S. When Uninstalling, I deleted registry files, everything that apple left over.Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device
That's unusual ... it's a 32-bit version of Apple Mobile Device Support that is crashing (taking the report at face value), but you've got a 64-bit system. Ever since the first iTunes 9.x version, AMDS has been 64-bit.
So I think we should try scraping all your AMDS and iTunes componentry out of there (especially the old 32-bit AMDS stuff), and then reinstalling the 64-bit iTunes (which normally should reinstall the 64-bit AMDS).
I'd also take some extra explicit precautions along the way, just in case. Best to print out a copy of these instructions, because at one stage of proceedings you won't be able to use a web browser.
Preliminaries
Download and save a fresh copy of the iTunes64Setup.exe (64-bit installer file) to your Hard drive. (Don't run the install on line, and don't start the uninstall just yet.)
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Quit the MobileMe Control Panel for Windows if you have it installed and open. (Ay least some versions of that also use Apple Mobile Device Support, and so may interfere with the AMDS uninstall if they are open.)
*Uninstall Phase*
Head into your "Uninstall a program" control panel. Uninstall iTunes. Uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support.
Next we'll remove any left-over program files and folders.
In "Computer" open "Local Disk C:" (or whichever drive you have your program files installed on).
Open the "Program Files" folder.
Right-click on the "iTunes" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
*Staying in the "Program Files" folder,* open the "Common Files" folder.
Open the "Apple" folder.
Right-click on the "Mobile Device Support" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Go back into "Local Disk C:" (or whichever drive you have your program files installed on).
Open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
Right-click on the "iTunes" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Staying in the "Program Files (x86)" folder, open the "Common Files" folder.
Open the "Apple" folder.
Right-click on the "Mobile Device Support" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Empty your Recycle Bin.
*Reinstall Phase*
Restart the PC. After the PC restarts do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
Now start the reinstall by doubleclicking the iTunes64Setup.exe file you downloaded earlier. (This should also reinstall the 64-bit Apple Mobile Device Support.)
Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
Does the install go through properly? If so, is the 64-bit Apple Mobile Device Service running now? If it is running, can you connect to the iPhone now? -
