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.

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.

My iTunes installation via Windows 7 does not install the Apple Mobile Device Support file

I have followed several suggestions to resolve the problem caused because of my update of iTunes does not install the Apple Mobile Device Support folder, thus making it impossible for me to sync my iPhone 4S to my desktop version of iTunes. I have tried to install the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi file and it almost completes the installation before "rolling back" the entire process and giving me a message that there was a problem with the installation. Has anyone been able to solve this problem. I use Windows 7. I have seem some :"solutions" that seem to work for some people, but not for me, and evidently not for many others? Finally, would it matter if I installed Safari on my desktop and tried to install iTunes using Safari?

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.)

Hello Ken C.,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Apple Mobile Device Service is included in the installation of iTunes. As long as you have the most up to date version of iTunes on your computer, you will have the most up to date driver. Are you having any issues with iTunes and syncing your devices?

HT201628 How to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Spport on Windows

my new iphone 5s cannot be recognized by itune
I installed the newest version of itune
The itune asked me to uninstall the apple mobile device support and intue
because i need newer version of apple mobile device support
I tried to uninstall the apple mobile device support
but it still in the list of my programs and features
Is there some other way to uninstall the apple mobile device support?
thanks a lot

Thanks, Tiinsky. I followed your instructions (deleting the Apple Mobile Device Support folder under C:) \Program FIles\Common Files\Apple and this seems to have done the trick.
Incidentally, even after doing so, I was still unable to uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support through the control panel. It would go three-quarters of the way through the process and then roll back the whole uninstallation.
However, removing those folders did allow me to successfully re-install iTunes--something I hadn't been able to do before. Previously, it would stall out and give me an error message reading "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services" with the choices Retry Abort Ignore--none of which worked.
My operating system is Vista.

Hello Skip Grantham,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
Best of luck,
Mario

Re: Apple Mobile Device USB Driver not working
14-Mar-2012 05:46 (in response to skjuhas)
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

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:
