When I start up iTunes it uses up 50% of my CPU capacity and AppleMobilDeviceService is using up the remaining 50% of my CPU capacity.

Then the computer just freezes.

When I close iTunes the AppleMobilDeviceService keeps using the 50% of CPU capacity. I have to turn it off manually every time I reboot.

I do not know this. Sorry. Unfortunately this iTunes version has been out for a while and there seems to be no fix in sight.

What would Mr. Jobs do about this. I bet somebody would have to work day and night to fix this.


Is Apple loosing grip on the situation or are they simply no longer interested in helping the folks with the issues of their product. I now also have connecting issues with an iPad. Sooo Sad. But enough about my frustration. Moving on.
