The Apple mobile device service (AMDS) is only necessary if you're syncing iTunes up to an iPhone, iPad, or other remote Apple device. </p> <p>I hope this helps! The Apple mobile device support was installed in an upgrade of iTunes (7 we think), and does take up some memory on your PC, so if you don't need it, you can install it and help speed up your PC a bit. </p> <p>If something doesn't work after uninstalling it, simply reinstall iTunes and the Apple mobile device support service will be reinstalled as well. </p> http://forum.werockyourweb.com/software/apple-mobile-device-support#post-329 Mon, 03 May 2010 14:14:41 +0000 miraculix 329@http://forum.werockyourweb.com/ <p>Hello CWD forums users. I'm trying to clean up my PC and recently ran into the <strong>Apple mobile device support</strong> listing under "add/remove programs" in my Windows XP installation.</p> <p>I'm guessing this is used to give remote support to Apple applications - such as iTunes, QuickTime, etc. I use these applications, but do not want to open a security hole by allowing others to remotely access these applications via my PC.</p> <p>Is that what the Apple mobile device support driver will allow? </p> http://forum.werockyourweb.com/software/what-is-apple-mobile-device-support#post-259 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 18:35:05 +0000 Anonymous 259@http://forum.werockyourweb.com/ <p>The Apple Mobile Device Support synchronizes your iPod, iPhone, etc. with a your PC via iTunes. I would leave it enabled if you're using one of your Apple gadgets on your PC, as you mention. For those that aren't, it's safe to remove. </p> http://forum.werockyourweb.com/software/what-is-apple-mobile-device-support#post-258 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 10:12:53 +0000 idefix 258@http://forum.werockyourweb.com/ <p>Apparently it's Spring PC cleaning here - I'm also trying to clean up my "add/ remove programs" list from useless crap. I don't have a Dell, unlike the other posters, but I do have Apple software such as iTunes, Quicktime, etc., and in my program list I see "Apple Mobile Device Support."</p> <p>Do I need this or can I remove it? Ie. will I still be able to use iTunes and Quicktime or do these apps depend on the mobile device support? It sounds like something that lets someone else into your PC to help you when you have a problem, which is something I definitely don't need, and I imagine presents a security risk at the same time. </p>
