"This iPad cannot be used as the Apple Mobile Device Service is not started". Does this mean anything to anyone? How can I sync my iPad again? Many thanks.
In Windows 7, go to Control Panel, Adminisstrative Tools, Computer management, Services. In the servies box will be Apple Mobile Device (mine is 4th from top) click on this and on the left side you can start service or right click the service and start from the drop down menu. I set mine to "delayed start" no issues since then.

I just updated to the latest version of itunes, n ow when I plug in my iphone, it says it cannot sync because "apple mobile device service is not started" this never happen before, what do I do??
The Apple Mobile Device Service is a part of sever programs that "help" iTunes on Windows. It may have been disabled in the Microsoft program, msconfig, or using a third party utility, such as CCleaner.
I would suggest trying to find and enable the service. To do so, click on the start button, click "run", and then type "msconfig" look for the iTunes Helper entry and make sure that it's enabled.
Additionally, there may be another service which you will have to enable. You can type something like "service.msc", (I'm not sure exactly) to see the "Services" control panel and look for it there.
If you can't find either, feel free to post here again.
