How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows

HT1688 What is "Apple Mobile Device" and how do I get it on my iphone 5? My iphone is not syncing when plugged in. The message says I have not started the device.

What is "Apple Mobile Device" and is it loaded/activated on the iphone 5?

I suspect you mean that you are getting the iTunes error message that the Apple Mobile Device Service is not started, in which case you need to follow the steps show in item #4 at the bottom of this article to restart it: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.

What does "Upgrade Your Device" mean for a VZW customer?

I had a LG Octane and "upgraded" to LG Cosmos at the end of my contract. The Octane does not have a camcorder but the Cosmos did. To me this was a "downgrade." I learned of this "downgrade" after I had the "upgraded" a few weeks. I believe Verizon's use of the term "Upgrade Your Device" is deceptive and a false promise. Verizon representatives refuse to recognize this "upgrade" as a "downgrade." I am stuck with a downgraded phone for more than another year before I can upgrade again without paying the full cost of a phone! So what does "Upgrade Your Device" mean when used on the Webpage of your Verizon Account?

"I had a LG Octane and "upgraded" to LG Cosmos at the end of my contract. The Octane does not have a camcorder but the Cosmos did."
The upgrade is that your new phone has a camcorder. Your old phone did not.
The word upgrade means to me getting a new phone that has features that my old phone didn't have and that i will actually use.

What does Apple Mobile Sync do for me?

I frequently get a little thing popping up on my screen, saying Apple Mobile Sync wants access to my several e-mail account passwords.
I have never used and am not likely ever to use MobileMe. I do use an iPhone.
Does Apple Mobile Sync participate in keeping my iPhone and Mail accounts synced, such that I should be giving it access to those keychains? Or is it a MobileMe-only, otherwise-useless appendage?

HI,
From your Apple menu click System Preferences. If you see an icon like this: in the System Preferences pane, then you have a MobileMe account. If you choose not sync via MobileMe, click the MobileMe icon in the System Preferences pane. Select the Sync tab.
Deselect: Synchronize with MobileMe
If necessary, you can cancel the MobileMe account. Click here: http://www.apple.com/support/mobileme/
Click: Account and Billing / Cancel
Does Apple Mobile Sync participate in keeping my iPhone and Mail accounts synced, such that I should be giving it access to those keychains?
Only if you have a MobileMe account.

I got a payout from Apple with that mentioned in the code. I have no idea what that means.

Sure, but what region of payment does it correspond to?

After syncing with iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support uses 83-99% of CPU

After syncing with iTunes 10.4.0.80, everything becomes very slow on my XP Home PC with 2G RAM. Apple Mobile Device is reported as using 83-99% of the CPU cycles. Shutting down and restarting Apple Mobile Device solves the problem and reduces CPU cycles to 0%. (I have written a small batch program to stop and restart the Apple Mobile Device to achieve this.) Does anyone have any thoughts about why the Apple Mobile Device process won't release when the sync is finished?

i deleted itunes and mobile support and now when i reinstall itunes the mobile support does not come back with it as when it tries to install that it just says rolling back after it is almost done
The AMDS install roll-back (on XP) can be caused by old driver componentry "stuck" in the bowels of your OS. If that's what is going on, we can get past this ... but I'm afraid it's a bit of a performance.
First, go into "My Computer". Go "Tools > Folder Options". Go to the view tab.
Make sure "Show hidden files and folders" is selected.
Make sure "Hide extensions for known filetypes" is unchecked.
Make sure "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in "My Computer", open "Local Disk C:" or whichever drive your Operating System is installed on.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "system32" folder.
Open the "DRVSTORE" folder.
In there look to see if you have either of the following two folders:
netaapl_(LongStringOfNumbers)
usbaapl_(LongStringOfNumbers)
If you find either of them, drag them out onto the desktop. (Don't touch any other files or folders you see in there.)
Now go back into the "system32" directory.
Open the "Drivers" directory.
Look for either of the following two files:
netaapl.sys
usbaapl.sys
If you see either of them in there, drag them out onto the desktop. (Again, don't touch any other files or folders you see in there.)
Now restart the PC. Uninstall iTunes again, and then try reinstalling it again. Does Apple Mobile Device Support install this time?

When you removed and reinstalled iTunes and other APple software did youdo it this way:

Error message saying this device cannot be used because Apple mobile device service is not started. What does this mean and how do I start service....had these devices for over a year now??

When I tried to sync my iphone 4 and ipad in iturnes, an error message popped up saying this device cannot be used because Apple Mobile Device service is not started! What does that mean and how do I start service? I've had these devices for over a year and update and sync regularly and have never seen this message before!

I got that message yesterday. I'm new at this so don't know if this is the correct solution but it worked for me. I reset my iPod by holding the 2 buttons down until the apple appears AND I restarted my computer. After that everything worked.

I updated iTunes to iOS5 and now my iPod Touch 2G is not recognized in iTunes. I'm getting a message that says "Apple Mobile Device service is not started". What does this mean?

What does "the Apple Mobile Device service is not started" mean? I updated iTunes and I got this message when connecting my iPod Touch (2nd gen).

Never mind--I think I found the answer through other posts. Thanks!
