What version of windows are you guys running? As you can tell this is for Windows XP.

Daddy’s fix did nothing for me. I do not have windows firewall on, i do not have software firewall or antivirus software installed, but, yet, I still get this error, and when i try starting the service it gives me this:

Windows could not start the Appme Mobile Device service on Local Computer.

Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly.

I have reinstalled iTunes, but it still will NOT start the service. Any ideas boy genius?

BTW, don’t have Apple Mobile Device in your Services list? Can’t get it to install (even after 3 attempts? I’m talking to you user “youarestupid”…grow up). Try disabling ALL your Norton and Windows security software so the Apple installer can get its job done. Once iTunes (and QuickTime) are correctly installed, you can re-enable the protection.

tried this a million times without success.
does it matter that the PC isn’t connected to the internet? can’t see why it should, as itunes seems happy enough to see and talk to my ipod, only iphone is the problem.
