Major computer help needed!!!!!?
I’ve been having two problems with my computer for the past two weeks, that i really need help with.
1) Is my Itunes-I Touch. — Every time I plug my i touch in, usually opens itunes and goes to the i pod data. For the past week or so, i have to manualy open itunes, and a message pops up and says " This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". Do you know what that means or what to do?
2) I get the symble at the bottom of my screan that i have updates. So i download them. 1 is Internet Explorer 7.6, the other is Security Update for Windows XP. I download and restart my computer, as instucted. But everytime i turn my computer on, it has the same ones back to download. Whats the problem?
PLEASE HELP ME!

Don’t know about the second one but this will solve the first one.
iPod touch requires two important pieces of software to operate properly on Windows. First, the driver must be installed; for iPod touch the driver is USBAAPL.SYS. Second, Apple Mobile Device Support must be installed as a Windows Service. If these are not installed, see the Reinstall iTunes section below.
Verify that the driver is installed by connecting iPod touch to the computer and following these steps:
On the Start menu, click Run.
In the Open field, type devmgmt.msc and click OK. A list of devices will be displayed.
Scroll down to Universal Serial Bus controllers and click the small plus sign to expand this group. iPod touch will be listed as either Apple iPod touch or Apple Mobile Device depending on the version of the driver installed.
Right-click Apple iPod touch (or Apple Mobile Device) and choose Properties from the shortcut menu.
When the Properties window opens, select the Driver tab.
Click Driver Details to view more information.
Verify that the Apple Mobile Device Service is installed and running using the Services MMC snap-in using these steps:
On the Start menu, click Run.
In the Open field, type services.msc and click OK. A list of devices will be displayed.
View the list In alphabetical order and verify that the "Apple Mobile Device Service" status is "Started."
If the status does not indicate the service is started, right-click Apple Mobile Device Service and choose Start from the shortcut menu.
If the service is installed and started, right-click the service and choose Restart from the shortcut menu.
If the driver is installed and the service is installed and started, check the Event Viewer for error messages.
On the Start menu, click Run.
In the Open field, type eventvwr.msc and click OK.
