Q: Apple Mobile Device service affecting web browsing
I realize this seems crazy, but here goes. I'm running Win7 Pro x64. Everything was working fine until mid last week when I started to notice some web pages (e.g. youtube) were taking way too long to load, or completely timing out, while others (e.g. yahoo) loaded fine. This happened in Chrome, Firefox, and IE (all current versions). To make a VERY long story short, I isolated the problem to the Apple Mobile Device service. If this service is running, I have the problem. If it's not, I don't. Even if I were willing to endure the hassle of manually starting and stopping it, once it’s started, the problem persists after it’s stopped, so I have to reboot. SInce I need this service for iTunes to see my iPhone and iPad, I need to solve this problem. Has anybody seen anything like this before? Any suggestions? Thanks.
iPad, Windows 7
