"This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not s"

This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started.
why do i keep getting this whenever i connect my iPod touch (2G) started happening today, i think it has something to do with "Bonjour" i blocked it i believe and when i go to control panel>Administrative Tools>Services and try to start it up it says "Windows could not start Bonjour Service on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to the service-specific error code -1.". Please can anyone help?

Try to enable it under "RUN" then type MSCONFIG then on the SERVICES tab look for the Bonjour service and enable it

On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". They are all registered. Help

On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". Each device has been registered onto this account and this computer, and all have worked finely in the past. I am so confused as to why now seemingly without reason, none of our apple devices (one iPod, two iPhones) are allowed to have music and other material downloaded onto them. Also, as a side note, they still are charged by plugging them into the computer, however they do not even show up on the left-hand sidebar in iTunes.
It should also be noted that for my iPhone it does not allow for the new update software to be uploaded; it just says that an error has occurred, nothing more.

This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not

I have a Dell 32 bit Windows XP and an iPod touch.
Recently I tried to sync my iPod but received the following error:
This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started.
So I googled the error message and someone suggested that I go to My Computer>Manage>Services>Apple Mobile Device and manually start the service.
However when I tried to manually start the service, I got the following message:
Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified.
I tried reinstalling iTunes, but no help.

Hello Jonashin,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Perhaps try re-installing just the Apple Mobile Device driver as described in this Apple support document.
