When i plug in my Ipod i get a strange message "this device can not be used because the apple mobile device service is not started."
What does "This ipod can not be used because the apple mobile device service is not started" mean. After I updated my Itunes I get this message when I plug in my Ipod and it doesn't come up in Itunes.
If you are using Windows 7, go to:
Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features
Look for a program called 'Apple Mobile Device Support'
Right-click on it
Click 'repair'
Wait until the repair operation is complete, and voila, your problem should be solved, itunes will recognise your iphone/ipod once more. This worked for me.

How do I start the Apple Mobile Device service? or maybe I shouldn't get it. I recently downloaded a Netflix app thinking it would work on my older iPod running version 3.1.3 and is only a 8 Gig device. Could this be my problem? The device doesn't even show up in "My Computer" or under devices in iTunes. Any help would be appreciated?
See this article for instructions on restarting the service (or re-installing if necessary).
