IPhone 4 Apple Recovery (DFU) USB Driver NEED HELP!!

Hello,
My iPhone 4 got version 4.2.1 but when i go to computer > properties >device management then i see: Apple Recovery (DFU) USB Driver.
I know that it is in dfu mode but i really dont know how i can get out of here. I tried everything what i can do i tried now 3 days to fix this but i dont have any results. My iphone 4 wont turn on but when i connect it with my computer than it says it is in recovery mode. So does anyone know how i fix Apple Recovery (DFU) USB Driver??????????

Jailbreaking is bad mmmkay.
To get it out of DFU, generally hold down both the Power/Wake button and the Home button together for ten seconds, then release the Power/Wake button and keep holding Home until the White Apple shows up on screen. (Literally the same thing you would have done to put it into DFU in the first place..)

ITunes doesn't recognize iPhone and Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is missing

Hi. iTunes does not recognize my iPhone when I connect it to my PC via USB. I found iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows and went through the listed steps to diagnose the problem. The problem seems to be the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. It is not listed in Device Manager and it does not seem to be installed on my PC. I followed directions for "If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed" and I was not able to find anything. In that case there are no further steps that you can take listed on iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes. I then uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and other software components (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923) three times but each time Apple Mobile Device USB Drive was missing. If anyone can advise me I would greatly appreciate it.
iTunes: iTunes 11.1.5 for Windows
iPhone: 4.3.3
PC: Windows 7

MBP won't boot recovery USB drive, need help

HDD failed on 15" mid2009 MacBook Pro, purchased a Seagate 1TB hybrid drive (SSHD) to replace it with. Went to boot to USB recovery drive with OS X 10.8 using option/alt on boot and would only get the folder with flashing question mark. Tried command+R also. Tried different USB ports. Tried with HDD pulled out. The USB recovery drive does work because we were able to boot to it from a different MBP, and verified the files on it with Disk Utility. Just can't get any kind of recovery options or anything on this Mac with replaced HDD. Need help. Never encountered anything like this, can't find anything like it online, and none of my coworkers can figure it out. We've all been working comps for yrs, one even an ex apple-tech. Thanks for any suggestions!!

Sorry - missed that part about having used both USB ports...
Since you've verified that the USB thumb drive works on another Mac, and that it won't boot whilst holding down the option key, I would advise taking your machine to an Apple Store or an AASP to have them diagnose your machine (which will be free). They, too, should have USB sticks that they can use to test the machine.
Good luck,

Apple recovery (iBOOT) USB DRIVE msg

ipod no longer recognised or activates in itunes only this msg above and no drivers found to update.
any advice.
actual ipod touch shows usb connection cable with arrow upward towards itunes logo
any help appreciated. ricky

Ok, go to start menu>> Control Panel>> Administrative tools>> Services. Make sure that the "Apple Mobile device" and "iPod service" services are started.
If they aren't started, right click on them and click "start". See if that works.
If they ARE already started, try this:
Hold down the iPod touch's home button while plugging it into the computer, this will force restore it, and that might fix the problem. Just finish the restore process in iTunes if it works...
I hope these methods work...

IPhone 6, iOS 8 - Apple Mobile Device USB Driver wont install

Ive just purchased an iPhone 6 from the Apple store. Of course because its the latest model its running the latest iOS (iOS 8.0).
I tried connecting it to my computer with the included USB lightening cable. My computer attempted to install the driver and then the error message appeared "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver install was not successful".
I have tried another USB port. I also tried a solution from a previous similar topic on the Apple discussion threads that suggested uninstalling iTunes & the 3 Apple software additions: Apple Application Support, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support.
Once the above software was uninstalled i connected my iPhone6 via USB to my computer and device manager read it fine. I assumed my issue was resolved so i continued to reinstall iTunes once again. Once all complete i connected once more and the original error reoccurred.
Is this an issue with just iPhone6 models, iOS8 users or is there an underlying problem?

OK. I found my answer, thanks to another posting.
Uninstall iTunes
Uninstall Apple Software Update
Uninstall Mobile Device Service
Uninstall Bonjour
Uninstall Application Support....all in this order.
Clear everything from Trash.
Restart PC
Install latest version of iTunes.
It worked!

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.

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)

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

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.

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:

Do both the Home button and Power button work OK normally?

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.

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?

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

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

2. I selected Apple Mobile Device and right clicked and selected "Stop".

This re-installed the iPhone and everything started working again.
