Error 1067 in services when starting apple mobile device

Hi everyone,

I usually fix the problem but I tried everything I can think of and the problem still persists.

How it started:
1)My homescreen on my iphone began to mess up so reset all settings (not erase) and then my homescreen was set to default layout!
2)I decide to connect my iphone to itunes so I can sync and have my old homescreen layout back

3)when I connect my iphone to iTunes, it gives me this message "this iphone cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started"
4)I restore my iphone using another computer, the message is still there with my computer but not the one I used to restore
5)I reinstall iTunes and all its components (even tried to downgrade)

Still not working!

6) I search Google for this problem and it says to go to Start> search> services and then restart "Apple mobile device"
7) When I restart iTunes and plug-in my iPhone 3G "Apple mobile device stops"
8) When I have my iPhone connected and try to starts 3apple mobile devices" in "Services" I get an error : "Windows could not start the Apple Mobile Device service on Local Computer, Error 1067: the process terminated unexpectedly"

If someone could please help me!

Ps: I can't restore windows 7 because I didn't have System restore enabled so I don't have any previous restore points.

desktop, Windows 7

Thank You SO MUCH! The iTunes 10.5 Beta did this to me (which is needed for iOS 5 Beta and yes I have a developer account). Reinstall had always solved it, but after one restart of Windows it was broken again. The old version works perfectly =)

You can resolve this issue other than downgrading my removing the software "Megaupload" or "MegaKey" from your computer..

tried to uninstall all pakages and reinstall them, searched for a fix on google..
but this WORKED finally & perfectly! thanks a lot! 😁

I too had the same problem on windows 7 64 bit. I solved the issue by uninstalling apple mobile device, and replacing it with Apple Mobile Device Support 3.2.0.47 (64-bit) at https://attache.apple.com/AttacheWeb/AttacheDownload?BUNDLEID=ATC-f2dfdd46-7178- 40e8-aea8-70530efad41b hope it can help other people 🙂.

WOW 😮 After spending the past week searching for a solution, uninstalling and reinstall all apple software, I just come across your post; attempt uninstalling Megakey and vuala; everything is working smoothly again. Thank you so MUCH POP3!!

Last thing I expected was a browser addon to be suddenly stopping me from syncing my freed iPhone 3GS 😝 Thanks again POP3, really appreciate it!!!
