How can I download the Apple Mobile Device Driver?

I'm not sure how it happened but my laptop stopped recognizing my iPhone (5S) at all, including as a camera. I tried uninstalling all apple products and reinstalling iTunes, as well as making sure my USB drivers worked, but the driver still isn't there. Help??

Well firstly you want to make sure you uninstalled itunes completely and correctly.

Following this article is important when uninstalling itunes make sure you read the part near the bottom that talks about the order in                                      which you must uninstall the components.
If you still have trouble there is a wonderful tool from microsoft called iFixit ( A simple google search for "iFixit" should yield a webpage - http://support.microsoft.com/mats/program_install_and_uninstall/en-us
use the uninstaller to completely remove any troublesome components and make sure after you uninstall and after you reinstall that you restart your computer.

  • How can I download the apple mobile device usb driver?

    Mine is missing.  I have followed the steps here : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    The device driver is missing.  I tried removing all things apple from my computer and reinstalling itunes to no avail.  Neither my computer nor itunes recognize either my iphone 4s or my ipad.  It isn't my usb ports as I have two and they are working with other devices.  It isn't the cables as my iphone and ipad have two different cables.  I can't seem to find info that addresses the driver specifically as this seems to be the problem.  I also tried another suggestion where I made sure the usb ports weren't in power saver mode.  Any suggestions?  I really appreciate your help.

    Have you done:

    or

    I get the error that the computer can't get the apple mobile usb driver to install so it won't show up on my computer or in itunes.It actually says Device Driver Software Not Sucessfully installed. Apple Mobile Device USB Driver failed. I'm using windows 7 which is fully updated, I have downloaded the newest itunes and also uninstalled and reinstalled it ans all of its components. I have followed every guide to sync your device to the computer and itunes, none of it has worked. I have unplugged my computer and tried it, I have taken the battery out of the computer and waited a few minutes and tried it. I have even gone into Device Manager looked under universal USB controllers and see an exclamation point next to the apple driver where its not working. I can click on it and tell it to look for the newest software and it says it's up to date and still not working. I have tried ever single usb advice or apple advice I can find over the last 3 hours and nothing is working. Please someone help me. I need to restore my ipad and I can't get it to show in itunes! please someone help!

    Make sure Apple Mobile Device USB driver is properly installed.

  • I can not install the Apple Mobile Device

    I do not get completely install the iTunes 10.7, I have completely removed the previous version's instructions itunes support and after doing this several times always end up like me not install the Apple Mobile Device and iTunes so I recognized my devices. Can anyone help?. Thank you.

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • TS1567 where can i find a download of the apple mobile device driver, mine has vanished

    My Windows pc (windows 7 samsung laptop) stopped recognising my iphone 4. I tried stopping and starting my mobile device driver as advised by the troubleshooter, the driver then disappeared (unsearchable). I have been unable to find a download on the apple website due to the terrible search facility on software. Can anyone help?

    i was having this problem with my iphone.......1st go into the control panel and then to uninstall programs and uninstall anything apple. once everything apple is uninstalled. go to www.apple.com and install the latest itunes. after the latest itunes is installed this should work. it worked just fine for my iphone. ps i had my iphone connected to my computer during the whole process.
    Unfortunately did not fix the problem, have driver back, but still does not recognise my iphone at all. If you want to try it, i did not lose any files so worth a shot.
    Any help would be appreciated

  • Why or how can I download the Apple Store App for my windows 8 mobil phone

    I want to download the app for apple store to my windows phone, I find it really  confusing that my computer which supports windows 7 home premium can download apple store app and my phone with the newer windows software cannot,  why and it not why not make sure that it is known before people upgrade or change to the newer phone

    You can't. The Apple Store app is for iOS devices and is not available for Windows Phone, nor can any other iOS app run on your Windows Phone. You'll have to use whatever web browser your phone provides if you want to shop the Apple Store.  And no, there is no Apple Store app for Windows on a computer either. Perhaps you're thinking of iTunes and the iTunes Store?
    Regards.

  • TS1538 Problems Updating the Apple Mobile Device Driver  for ipad4

    My iTunes was not recognising my new ipad4 and so I followed Apple guidelines re. Apple Mobile Device Service and found that this was not listed on my laptop.
    I then followed guidelines to update the driver - I followed steps to install the usbaapl file, however when I clicked ok to install the following message came up:
    "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for 32-bit systems."
    Any ideas/tip/advice anyone can offer would be much appreciated! I just want to get my music onto my new iPad :(
    Thanks.

  • Windows 7 64 bit doesn't recognise my ipad,iphone because the apple mobile device driver is not digitally signed

    Why is it when the internet is flooded with the same problem as mine that Apple are not doing something to fix this?
    on the apple troubleshooting site the troubleshooting steps don't even refer to the latest version of itunes but to the previous version where the devices are listed in the left hand column! what's that all about?
    Anyway I can pay microsoft 75 dollars to sort this for me or I can try to sort it myself. Apple doesn't seem to be at all interested in helping their CUSTOMERS  with this problem, I can only presume it's because these CUSTOMERS are using a microsoft product.
    Come on Apple! get your **** in order and provide proper customer support even for those of us who still want to use windows OS computers.

    I'm having a similar problem - my computer tells me that "one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it". I'm also using Windows 7 64bit.

  • HT4235 Where do I find the Apple mobile device driver?

    my ipod connects to xp, all diagnostics pass execpt for the sync test. ipod starts to sync and then stops.
    Help1

    I had this problem also.  It is acturally that the AMDS roled back when it was installing and isn't on you computer to turn off and on.
    Here is what I did:  Download Roxio Unistaller Pro.  It's free.
    Then I uninstalled everything Apple, and I mean everything.  Itunes, Bounjour, Safari, AMDS, Apple Support.  If it looked like Apple, I got rid of it.  The neat thing about the Roxio program is that you can scan after the program's unistall and find crap the the program did not take off and select all and Delete.
    Then, I downloaded Itunes again and Presto, it works.

  • How can I update the Bluetooth HID Device Driver?

    Hi-
    Can anyone tell me how to do it? I´m trying to pair a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 with a Lenovo T400 running Windows XP Pro with SP3 on it, and with all the latest Windows Update components installed on it  too, with no luck. The mouse is working, took it to the shop to return it, but worked on a laptop running Windows 7, and the bluetooth on my laptop is also working, since it pairs nicely with my cell phone. Tried pairing a Logitech mouse and that´s when I realized the problem might be the driver. I´ve tried updating the HID driver with the device manager, but doesn´t work, nor can I find it on the Microsoft site to download and re-install it. Please help!
    Thanks,
    Enrique

    Download the Bluetooth driver from the T400 driver matrix:

    I have the same mouse with my T400 and it works fine.
    Also, make sure the mouse is discoverable (light flashes alternating red/green on top) first.
