Very well done indeed sir, I tip my hat to you. Have spent a very frustrating night awake trying to fix this, and you had the answer. Many thanks to you!

Thanks for all the suggestions on this problem. I have just uninstalled the Mobile Device Helper and the problem has been fixed. Not sure how this remedy would affect iPhone users however (I only use an iPod).

I uninstalled the mobile device helper in my iTunes file, and those 32 consecutive (and extremely irritating) messages about the problem stopped. Thank you for that advice.

Unfortunately, now iTunes will not recognize my iPod classic and thus will not allow me to sync anything. I dread the thought of starting all over with it since I have the 80gb iPod and do not want to re-install all my music. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

hi all i have found another solution to the annoying pop-ups,

it takes a while but it does work. the lovely people at apple talked me through it.
do these steps in order and your prolem will be solved,

1.open up system config by pressing the windows button and the r key. then type msconfig in the box and press enter. under the general tab select selective startup and un tick the "load startup items".click apply then ok.

2.now the long bit! uninstall all the itunes software in this order and after every uninstall RESTART! your PC very important your restart.
1.itunes
2.apple mobile device support
3.apple software update
4.quicktime

3. then go to itunes website and re install itunes.


if you follow these steps the annoying apple device helper popup will have gone.

then follow step 1 again but in the general tab select normal startup tab as it was before.

hope this helps. just remember the restart after EVERY uninstall.

I linked my new 3g Iphone to Itunes and upgraded to Itunes 7.7. Immediately the error message kept popping up saying that the Apple Device Manager had stopped working. After a few days of hunting around the Apple site I found that in my case the problem was stemming from the Comcast Desktop DR. installed by my Comcast account. Once I stopped the Comcast Desktop Doctor all was well.

I have a similar problem. With my iphone it says "missing the pairing record" Did everything i could, even late night frenzy's, but nothing helped.

This al after installing 7.7

And nothing to find on the internet (not much at least and not helping).

My head is spinning now!!!! please help if you know a solution. Everything mentioned before didn't help.

Thanks so much, tried all other solutions suggested on the internet and this was the one that worked!

Apple has released an update for iTunes, bringing it up to Version 7.7.1. This version contains stability and performance fixes.
