still didnt work, the problem is with itunes !!!

The Apple Mobile Device Service comes from iTunes. You probably need to remove iTunes and reinstall. See this ASC User tip about iTunes and Windows. There is also a section on installing missing components, which can help to reinstall the AMDS. But I would first start with the instructions on how to completely remove iTunes and reinstall. Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates

In this short a period of time you have completely removed iTunes and reinstalled it, doing it in the method indicated in the support document provided by Apple? That is amazing it could have been done that quick. This has information on how to replace the phone driver. iOS device not showing in iTunes for Windows This document differs from the original one that elcpu provided earlier.


You can also take a look at this discussion earlier that has input from turingtest2 who wrote the ASC tips earlier.
