Click the Browse button and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
Double click the "usbaapl" file or "usbaapl64" or if there is no driver folder look in

Click open in Have Disk Window  Then Click NEXT and then FINISH Windows will install the Drivers

  • ITunes not recognizing iPhone 5 iO7 on Windows 7

    I have exhausted myself dealing with this problem. My iTunes will not recognize my iPhone 5. I am running Windows 7 64 bit and my computer recognizes the phone when i plug it in, however, my iTunes does not so I am not able to sync any music. I have tried practically everything I have found on the internet to fix this problem and even the people at the Apple store could not help me with my problem. I have uninstalled and installed all Apple related programs, I have insured that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is working correctly but nothing seems to fix the problem. I just don't know what to do anymore because nothing seems to work. I have followed the suggestions contained in the following discussions but nothing seems to work. Thank you for your help.

    Had this problem this morning.
    Once in the past had to erase my iphone and reload it.That was unpleasant.
    This morning had the problem,too.
    Plugged in my iphone directly into the Imac (not hub) then clicked shut down on the imac.
    Pressed the button in the back while the iphone was still plugged in-and when rebooted iphone was visable in itunes.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks so much for your suggestion. I'm using a MacBook Air and I just tried this with my laptop - shutting down the computer all the say (not restarting it) and then booting it back up with the phone plugged in. It didn't work but it was worth a shot! Thank you!

    I had this exact same problem and just figured out how to fix it. I had to reload the driver on the iphone5 in order for itunes to recognize the device. Follow the steps here to see if you might need to do the same thing. Once I reinstalled the driver, everything works fine and I'm now able to sync with itunes again.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I have seen a TON of posts like mine where this is the solution. Unfortunately, I am on a Mac not Windows so the driver isn't the problem.

  • Is anybody else still not able to use the App Store? I can't download nor update any apps. I have an IPhone 5 device not currently updated to iOS 7 as my partner also has an iPhone 5 running iOS 7 and it seems to have some issues at the moment.

    At present I have no power to the Gen 7, so need to get some power to it I think.  I pressed the buttons as you suggested, but nothing is showing up at this point.  Thank you for your response as the more I can rule out before  I take it back the better I think.

    Make sure yo have iTunes version 10.7

  • Itunes is not recognizing my ipod.  there is no sync under file.  I need to download the music just purchased from itunes.

    itunes is not recognizing my ipod.  there is no sync under file.  I need to download the music just purchased from itunes.
    can anyone help?

    Do you see your iPod under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window in the source list when it's connect to your Mac?
    BTW...  you sync iTunes media from the tabs in the iTunes menu, not from the File menu unless you are transferring iTunes purchases from the iPod to your Mac.
    Might need to zoom to see this graphic. I have "Music" selected as an example.

  • My PC not recognizing iPhone

    My Pc not recognizing iPhone. I tryed a lot of ways but nothing help.

    If its anything like what my pc does from time to time... Is that when I plug in , Itunes "locks" up for a period of time followed by it finally "letting go" and then not seeing my iphone.  Granted, I use an Iphone 4 but none the less I'm assuming this is the issue you are having.
    What I do (cant take credit for this, learned from another user on these boards) is hold your home button and power button at the same time.  Let the iphone turn off and then turn it back on.  Plug it back in , and it should be seen.  If that does not work (does not always for me) try it when the usb cable plugged in.   One or the other usually does the trick for me.
    Good luck!

  • Windows PC suddenly not recognizing iPhone. Recognizes another iPhone just fine. USB works until operating system in PC (XP) loads. Any clues out there?

    Windows suddenly not recognizing iPhone, yet recognizes another iPhone fine (sees in iTunes, etc.) USB appears to be fine - passes electrical to iPhone until operating system (XP) boots, and then "disconnects". I've gone through all of Apples suggestions for troubleshooting - including msconfig. Same result - quick double "bong" tone and no connectivity to iTunes. Versions are all up-to-date.
    Any suggestions out there?

    How did you get the VMWare sync to work? I hate Apple at this point.

  • HT3887 why does my iPhone say device not supported when connecting to my make even after it has successfully paired?

    why does my iphone say device not supported when connecting to my mac pro, even though it has already succesfuly paired? I also use a wirless bluetooth keyboard and mouse on the computer successfully.
    Also when I turn Bluetooth on on the phone the devices cog never stops turning (forever serching for a device)

    iTunes automatically syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer.
    It couldn't be much easier than that as you don't actually have to do anything more than normal.
    This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a backup if you delete them from iPhone.
    Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos application until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.
    USB syncing is far faster than Bluetooth.

  • I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts.

    I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new entries only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts. Outlook has multiple contact lists. Only one has any data. I can't find a way to delete the others and I can't keep the one I want to use at the top of the list. Any ideas?
    I have a question about email. I have several thousand emails in 10 or so days. How can I select multiple emails for deletion in stead of one at a time? How do I designate emails from a given sender as junk or block certain senders?

    the spcs page on this site state which video formats the ipad supports
    I'd suggest converting your old videos to one of those formats
    handbrake is a free program which does this for you
    itunes used to be able to too when I right clicked incompatible media but don't see the option any more
    or maybe it only show when one right click incompatible media and currently my lib don't have any
    about the music then it's odd what formats are they?
    if they are acc protected have you tried to remove the DRM this can be don using itunes as
    apple don't use DRM for music any more

  • Canvio 3TB HDD not recognized by other Devices

    I am trying to connect this Canvio 3TB HDD to my Samsung TV and its not recognized.  Tried connecting to the Samsung BRDVD player, not recognized.  These devices recognize other HDD's but not this one.  Any suggestions?

    Yes, that should be fine. It would just operate slower usually. Do your devices recognize other drives that have that large of a capacity? Perhaps they can't see it because 3 TB is more than they support. I don't know for sure though. You may always want to contact Samsung.

    My new iPhone 6 paired perfectly with my Mercedes system.  That said, on your iPhone 5, reset your network settings and then try to pair it again.
