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:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
What results do you get when you run this:
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Do both the Home button and Power button work OK normally?

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.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
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.

After updating to iTunes 12 the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed, I use Windows 8.1, how can i solve this?

After I updates ITunes to the latest version (12), ITunes wont find my iphone and Ipad anymore, after searching I found that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed anymore, on the support website of Apple it doesnt explain how to solve this,.
I use Windows 8.1 and so now also ITunes 12, both my Iphone 4S and Ipad Air have the latest IOS version.
I hope anybody can tell me how to solve this that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is back, thank you

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.

ITunes won't recognize my iPod. I have the Apple Mobile Device USB driver installed in my programs but it doesn't show up in my Device Manager or Services. Can someone help?

So I connected my iPod to iTunes and an error message came up saying it needed an updated version of iTunes 64 bit and I was missing the Apple Mobile Device USB driver so I downloaded it because another discussion said that was the solution. I did but it wont show up in my device manager or services. Can someone help me figure out whats wrong?

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!

Where is the link to download apple mobile device USB driver software

I need to download apple mobile device USB driver software but can't find it onlie. Advice where i can download it from much appreciated.

I had the same problem with my iTouch when I upgraded to iTunes 10. I'm not sure if my problem was the same as with the nano but every time I reinstalled iTunes and plugged in my Touch, I got an error message for driver installation and the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver in Device Manager with a little yellow exclamation mark. The error message that came up stated something about the digital signature of the driver not being right. The fix that worked for me was as follows:
Delete the 2 Apple Mobile Device USB Driver files. If you right click on the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver in Device Manager and select properties it will tell you where they are located in the windows folder. My 2 files for windows 7 64 bit were:
usbaapl64.sys
usbaaplrc.dll
With ipod disconnected, restart computer and press F8 to enter boot menu.
Select boot option without digital driver signature support.
After boot, connect ipod and driver should automatically install correctly without error.
Good Luck
I called Apple and they would not provide any unpaid support for iTunes issues.

HT4959 How do I get Apple Mobile Device USB driver?

How do I obtain an Apple Mobile Device USB driver as without it I cannot load 10.6.1?

Install iTunes. 10.6.1 refers to a version of iTunes. 5.1.1 is the current version of iOS. I assume what you mean is you can't update your phone to 5.1.1.
You need to clarify what you have and what you are trying to do. Your profile says you have an iPhone 4S with iOS 4.3.3, which is physically impossible. All iPhone 4S's come with at least iOS 5.0

Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is listed in device manager, but has a yellow "!". I try reinstall,disable,enable the drivers but the problem persist. Could you help me ?

Hi
I connect my ipad to my pc (Windows xp SP3) and I can see my ipad and photos in my computer. When I install the itunes 11 , after installation , I can't connect the ipad again or any other apple device. The Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is listed in device manager, but has a yellow "!".
I have try to reinstall the drivers from c:\progamfiles\common files\apple\... but the problem persist. Could you help anyone about this ?

You need to completely uninstall iTunes from your computer and then download and install it again.
You do know that Microsoft has a web site, right?

I cannot get my computer to reinstall the Apple Mobile Device USB software.

Originally, I updated my Itunes and after that, it would not recognize my iphone anymore. So after that, while following directions on the Apple support page, I tried to uninstall and then reinstall the Apple Mobile Device USB software. It uninstalled fine, but when I tried to put it back, it just kept telling me that the device could not be successfully installed. How do I get it to install?

Morning Bugsy7238,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed
Disconnect the device from the computer.
Save a screenshot by pressing the Home button and the Wake/Sleep button at the same time (the screen should flash briefly). Note: Taking screenshots and saving images on iPod touch requires iOS version 2.0 or later.
Reconnect the device to the computer.
Open the Device Manager in Windows as follows:
Windows XP: Click Start > Run. In the resulting dialog type devmgmt.msc and press Return.
Windows Vista or Windows 7: Click Start. In the dialog, type devmgmt.msc and press Return. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click "Continue".
Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type devmgmt.msc, and press Return.
Expand all the sections labeled below (not all sections may be listed):
Imaging Devices
Other Devices
Portable Devices
Universal Serial Bus Controllers
Look for the entry that recognizes the device as a camera. This entry should be called Apple iPhone,Apple iPad, or Apple iPod.
If only "Unknown Device" appears
If only Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod appears
Best of luck,
Mario
