I am having the same problem for three-four months now. When I called the help-desk of apple, they said windows 7 x64 wasn't compatible with itunes, and they told me that I had to wait for a newer version of itunes.

Apple mobile device service not started

Each time i try to sync my iphone to itunes it keeps on saying "apple mobile device service not started"
I know how to start it and everything its that when i start it it says "Windows could nt start the Aplle Mobile Device service on local computer"
I have the newest itunes and i have windows 7

first I would check the event viewer for into about what goes wrong that cause the service to fail
if this don't give a clear image about what the problem is
then I would uninstall itunes and resinstall it
if that didn't help I would ask questions about solve the problem in the itunes for windows forum where people wise in the ways of itunes would be more likely to read your post

Does Windows give you an error code number when AMDS fails to start, Love? If so what number do you you get?

Fix for Apple Mobile Device Services not starting

Finally a fix for Apple Mobile Device Services not starting. Basically I got this from someone else in these forums and it worked. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\AllUsers\Application Data\Apple and delete any file in there that says Apple Mobile Device Services (I understand these are cached files...I had about 8 files to delete). Next go to your control panel, click on Add/Delete programs, find Apple Mobile Device Support and delete (remove) it. Once this is all done do not reboot, rather open itunes and go to Help menu /Check for Updates and update to the latest version. This will install the latest version of iTunes and also a new version of Apple Mobile Device Services. Next reboot and it should work for many of you...it did for me. Open iTunes and plug in your device...good luck. I wrote this from memory so if some of the phrases don't match exactly what you see I apologize. Also, this worked for me on a Windows XP computer.

Thanks for posting this, my iTunes randomly started saying the Apple Mobile Device was stopped, and apple's solutions didn't help. I hope this one will, but what do I do if I have the latest iTunes, so it doesn't update? Wait till they come out with an update? It says I need to run the iTunes installer, but I can't find that. Please help, this is really annoying me...=(

Old iPod mini can't be recognized after formatting, and iTunes 'Apple Mobile Device Driver not found.'

My roommate gave me an old iPod Mini a few days ago. It was working fine 'til I plugged it into my computer and it asked me to format it. I did, and now it cannot be recognized by iTunes or my computer. My computer views it as a "removable disk" which cannot be accessed. In devices, it is listed as an Apple iPod though, so I'm hoping not all is lost. I have tried many quick fixes I've read on internet (including changing disk letter) but to no avail. I have reinstalled the new iTunes and now that is telling me it has not installed properly, and when I ran diagnostics, it reads that the Apple Mobile Device Driver not found. I will copy & paste all the info from the diagnostic run below, and if anybody can help me with my new (old) iPod, I'd be everly greatful!
Thanks!!

I don't know what am I missing?. iTunes opens on my computer. but doesn't recognize my device. when I click on help. it says an "unknown error has occurred. your computer is not connected to internet. please check your internet connection and try again later".

I have the same problem. I think that someone tried my iphone before me because when I want to reset it, I'm invited to enter a password that I didn't set. Also, when I go the Map application, the iphone indicate that I'm locateded in China while I'm in Tunisia. Now, I can't connect to my iphone to itunes, and I can't reset it because it ask me to enter a password that I didn't set.
