Apple Mobile Device USB Driver Not Working (Code 10)

i have a windows 8 laptop and the "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" in the Device Manager recently stopped working, it has this little yellow triangle with a '!' in it next to it. i have restarted my computer/iphone several times, i've reinstalled itunes a few times, i've tried different USB ports and different cords.
it also says "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
Please let me know if you have had and fixed this problem
thanks

Yep...^^
I just fixed my ipod nano problem on my own and figured I'd  share as I have just spent the last 4 hours trying to trouble shoot all  of Apple's problems...following everyone's tips...nothing worked until I  figured it out on my own.
I'm running windows 7 and have an Ipod Nano (6th Gen).  Hard  drive crashed on computer.  Replaced HD.  Everything works fine now.   Downloaded iTunes along with all other programs.  Nano wouldn't show up  or sync on iTunes.  Said Device Driver Software was not successfully  installed (some USB problems).  Tried everything.  Finally, I figured it  out.
Disconnect Nano.  Uninstall iTunes AS WELL AS
Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Software Update.  Apple only
tells you to uninstall iTunes and reinstall..restart computer bla bla  bla.  I said screw it and uninstalled all Apple programs (well, the  listed ones above).  I hooked up my nano to my computer to make sure the  device manager recognized it without anything else plugged in...and it  did.  I unplugged it.  Reinstall iTunes and all three other Apple  programs listed above will also reinstall.  I opened iTunes and plugged  in my nano.  It started with the "installing device driver software" and  I was sure
it wasn't going to work.  Well, it did work.  My  nano showed up in the upper right bar of iTunes and synced.  Unreal...  I  unplugged my nano and plugged in the wife's.  Once again, "installing  device driver software."  Voila!  Her's showed up and synced too.  I  plugged mine back it to make sure it worked and it did.  I'm done.  It's  working.  Hope these steps work for you as well.

  • Apple mobile device usb driver not digitally signed

    I installed(updated) itunes 12.1.1.4 64-bit on wildows 7. Then, it can not recognize iphones and ipods any more.
    I tried every means to fix this, updating windows and itunes, uninstalling and installing, rebooting and restarting.......
    Finally, I find that the apple mobile device usb driver is not digitally signed.  I found this when I open the computer/manage/device manager/portable device/iphone/update driver.  Windows installed mtp usb driver for apple products and indicating the related apple driver software cannot be installed.
    what's wrong with this?  should I wait until apple solve this problem?

    I suggest you try the "for older video cards" version...
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • TS1538 apple mobile device USB driver not listed in Windows 7

    Installed iTunes on my son's HP laptop, but when he plugs in his iPhone 4 it is not recognized in iTunes.  I've done the following:
    * Rebooted the computer.
    * Tried multiple USB ports.  The cable is good because the device can charge without any problems.
    * Restarted the Apple Mobile Device service.
    * Uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes and all other Apple software.
    * Verified that there are no Apple related devices listed anywhere in Device Manager.
    * Been through all of the troubleshooting steps at this site:  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    His iPhone is currently on a version less than 5.0.  iTunes is whatever is currently available from iTunes.com.
    I'm stumped.  I'd love to hear some other idea.  I appreciate any and all help.

    That's not really helpful.
    What specific version of iOS is on the device and more importantly, what version of iTunes?
    Just because someone believes they are running the current version does not make it so.

  • TS1538 What do I do after step 6 in "If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed"?

    i'm very confused about step 5, "Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed" > "If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed", what do I do after step 6? I looked for and found the entry that recognizes the device as a camera, "Apple iPhone, now what? I'm trying to resolve an issue. After an iTunes upgrade in July 2012, I have not been able to get my iTunes to recognize any of my devices. I have uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, all the steps. Now I'm on this one and I don't know what to do after this step 6. I looked and found the entry.... now what??? I am out of room on my phone because everything I buy on iTunes on the computer mysteriously appears on my iPhone 4, and everything I buy on my iPhone mysteriously uploads onto my iTunes the next time I open it. My phone will charge when connected to the computer, and Windows recognizes it and asks how I want to open pictures, etc. But in iTunes it will not show up under Devices. This is getting beyond ridiculous and I have to get some of this music off of my phone!

    Found a possible solution for me.
    While the phone was plugged into my computer and iTunes is CLOSED.
    1. I went to Services in Windows.
    2. I selected Apple Mobile Device and right clicked and selected "Stop".
    3. Then I right-clicked again and selected "Start".
    4. Then I went to Device Manager and right clicked my iPhone with the yellow alert icon and selected "Uninstall".  You will get a warning about uninstalling the device.  Click OK.
    5.  At the top of Device Manager I clicked the Action menu and selected "Scan for Hardware Changes".
    This re-installed the iPhone and everything started working again.

  • Apple Mobile Device USB Driver (CODE 52 Error)

    I've been trying to sync my ipod touch with my laptop computer. I recently updated my version of iTunes, and now can not get my ipod to sync with my computer. The problem is in the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. The error I am getting is a Code 52 error which states: "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source."  I've tried uninstalling the USB driver along with iTunes and all the related software. I have a windows 7 notebook. Any help resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    I recently purchased my iPod touch with no issues. After updating to iOS 8.1.1 I found that my iPod would no longer appear in the latest version of iTunes and when I searched for Apple Mobile Device usb driver in the device manager, it was nowhere to be found. I've already uninstalled and re-installed ALL components of iTunes and read every single help article. I've tried everything. What went wrong?

  • Apple mobile device USB Driver won't install (Code 37) on my 7th Generation iPod Nano

    As a result, iTunes won't detect my iPod. But the iPod will charge when I plug it in to my comp, and there is an iPod folder in "My Computer". But after installing iTunes, it no longer says “connected” on the iPod (even though it still charges it). And, in Device manager, there is a yellow exclamation mark that appears in the DVD/CD-ROM drive directly after installing iTunes – there is also a yellow mark next to “Apple mobile device USB Driver” when my iPod is plugged in. For both, it says “Code 37.” I know how to fix the DVD/CD-ROM drive problem (by deleting the filters) but the Apple driver still won't install after that. I've tried troubling shooting this. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, but it hasn't made a difference. And I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes multiple times, too, and every time I reinstall iTunes the same thing happens: my iPod no longer says “connected on the screen,” and the  DVD/CD-ROM drive gets code 37 again. Also, I tried different USB cables/ports.
    Any help of suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And I think I've already read a lot of troubleshooting guides on this site, but haven't had any success so far.

    Sorry, I'm confused. What do you mean by “leaving all other USB devices disconnected”? Does that include my mouse, keyboard, etc? And does that mean I uninstall those things in the device manager?

  • Apple mobile device USB driver is missing and cannot be installed

    Hi,
    My iPod nano (6th gen) is not recognised by iTunes but is recognised by Windows sometimes (once in 2-3 attempts).
    Every time I connect my iPod to my laptop, a window pops up saying "an iPod is detected but could not be identified properly...".
    I looked through apple support page and narrowed down the cause to the driver.
    Apple mobile device USB driver does not show up in Device Manager.
    However iPod does show up under Portable Devices as a camera when iPod is recognised by Windows.
    I tried reinstalling Apple Mobile Device USB Driver as it was shown in the support page (right click on iPod in Device Manager>update driver software>...).
    This did not work (gave me an error saying "the folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device...".
    So I tried another method I found online; extract iTunes installer (itunes6464setup.exe), extract AppleMobileDeviceSupport6464.msi in it, and use the files in it to update driver.
    This gave me the same error.
    It seems that a Windows driver is installed for my iPod (WPD FileSystem Volume Driver); when I opt for "search automatically" in Uptade driver software, this driver shows up with the message "the best driver for your device is already installed".
    Also, my iPod is shown in Devices and Printers with an exclamation mark (when I connect my iPod to my laptop, the exclamation mark shows up only after I click OK on the message window "an iPod is detected but could not be identified properly...")
    Troubleshoot showed "Windows is uninstalling this device (Code 21)".
    I'd appreciate it if someone could help with the situation.
    I'm using Windows 8.1, iTunes 12.1 for Windows 64bit, and iPod nano 6th gen.
    I haven't connected my iPod to my laptop for a long while, but I recall connecting an iPhone to my laptop a while ago and it was recognised just fine.
    After that I updated my Windows from 8 to 8.1, but I don't think it has anything to do with the problem as my iPod wasn't recognised by iTunes before and after the update.
    Thank you in advance!

    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases. Or roll back to the previous build:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

  • Unable to install Itunes 10.1 or 10.1.1  -Apple Mobile Device USB Driver

    Unable to install Itunes 10.1 or 10.1.1 and have it sucesfully install the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. It keeps coming up with an error that the driver is unsigned or disappears completely from device manager.
    I have tried full uninstall including cleaning registry keys and file system. If I uninstall and re-install 9.2.1 usb driver works perfectly and I have no issues synching with phone or seeing the phone in Itunes.
    I have tried repair installs, updating the drivers by pointing to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    I have tried removing all USB devices and having them reinstall from Windows after a reboot. Nothing seems to work.
    I just got a new IPAD and cannot use it because I cannot install 10.1 at least to have it connect. It came with IOS 4.2.1 on it.

    I also encountered the same problem.
    and yes, I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 10.1.1 bla bla blahhh....
    Same issue!!! itunes cannot open cuz the mobile device support not started etc..
    but when reinstalled prior itunes version 9.2 its gone
    and issue fixed.
    i can sync my 3G.
    but not my 4G. it says you need to upgrade to 10.1 or above
    spending the whole night to fix the problem which never occured b4
    i finally find out one thing.
    pl keep in mind im not a computer exprt
    i tried this and it worked, i don know what fixed it, bt it works
    try this at your own risk. some comp genius will tell us weather this way is right or not.
    ok. lets start...
    in your desktop make a new folder. name it Kmh_\CoreFP
    try uninstalling the newer version 10.1
    only the itunes not other mobile div suprt, application suprt etc.
    dont mind the following order:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    and reinstall itunes 9.2
    go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
    you wil find a folder named "CoreFP"
    copy it and paste to Kmh_\CoreFP
    uninstall itunes 9.2
    and reinstall itunes 10.1 again
    go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple
    you wil find folder named "CoreFP"
    find the difference in properties comparing the one u stored in Kmh_\CoreFP
    ok delete it and replace it with the one we stored stored in Kmh_\CoreFP
    restart the computer and start itunes now
    what happens?
    best of luck.
    -Kmhm63
    reinstall the newer version 10.1
    I would suggest that you revert back to prior working version until Apple comes out with an update that fixes what 10.1.1 broke.
