Missing Apple Mobile Device Service

Hello!

Since yesterday my ipod touch wont sync or get recognised by my pc anymore. It was working fine all week long. So I removed itunes, installed it, removed it, installed it, it would still not work. So I deleted all apple and ipod folders from my pc and resetted my ipod so it would reinstall everything. But it didnt. Now I don't know what to do, how to get AppleMobileDeviceService.exe back?

Hello I have had the same problem with my Ipod touch!!!!! Trust me I feel for you it took me quite some time to figure it out.
You need to go into your control panel. Then click on Add/Remove Software. Then go to Apple Mobile Device Support. Then click repair. This worked for me. It only took like 6 hours.

Good Luck!

I am having the same problem with my itouch. I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. I allowed my firewall to allow any itune actions. If i go to services well i cant find apple mobile device and i need to know how to reinstalled it. Shouldn't it come with itunes anyway. I dont know whats going on but its ******* me off. I invested into my ipod and right now i'm not happy with my purchase.

I had exactly the same problem, with iTunes showing an error message each time I connected my brand new iPod Touch.
This sorted the problem out in a matter of minutes. (THANKS!)
As it seems to be a common problem, Apple should include a link to this fix within the error message on iTunes.
