    iPod won't sync

    When plugged in, a screen pops up titled "Camera Connected" along with a box that lists various programs such as Word etc... The iTunes account doesn't automatically open. When opened manually, a box apears stating "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started."

    For all those people who find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than to Google it for themselves.

        Use sites that give more money to artists. Manually drop files into iPod music folder. Tada! Its really not that hard.

              Where did he ask about getting music, he's having a sync issue not a purchasing non purchasing music issue. Reading comprehension people?!??!! Update your iTunes or re install with a previous edition will probably help.

                Right! I'm just adding more of my previously purchsed CDs. Any interpretations of the messages I'm getting on the iTunes site?

                      THIS WILL MAKE IT WORK.

                      Go into services and manually start up the Apple Mobile Device service.

                      Problem solved.


                      Run-> Services.msc-> Right Click on Apple Mobile Device-> Start.

                        If you have antivirus software it may prevent you from connecting to the itunes store and thus will not allow you to sync. There's a DIY out there on how to configure your specific software so that it will work.
