When I plug in my iPhone to a USB port on the back of my computer I get the error "MTP USB Device driver was not successfully installed" and of course there is no device that shows up either. It would be great to download my photos! I'm using Windows

Windows Vista: Device driver was not successfully installed.

This is my first post and I apologize in advance if this topic has been brought up before.
The issue is a new one for me -- I've had no problems running my iPhone on Vista until recently when it stopped showing up in my Computer window. Confused, I checked iTunes to see if it was recognized and lo and behold -- no problems there. I plugged it into my Macbook and had no issues there at all, so it's not the phone itself. I did a little Google search and exhausted what I perceive to be at the very least the basic "fixes". I uninstalled the Apple iPhone drivers from Device Manager, unplugged the USB connection after ejecting via iTunes, and then proceeded to reboot. After the boot had completed - I plugged the iPhone back in -- it was picked up and the installation of the drivers began. I had my hopes up and figured it would work, but then I got the following error message: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v37/xthroughmyeyesx/Capture.jpg
The Apple Mobile Device USB Driver installed successfully without a hitch, the Digital Still Camera part... not so much. If anyone has possible fixes or any information behind this at all, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks already for your time.

I'm having exactly the same problem. I think there are some issues with Vista and Iphone. Please let us know if someone has a solution to this.

Can't Sync after IOS5 Upgrade - Device driver software was not successfully installed

I upgraded to OS5 and now can't sync. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and rebooting and still get an error saying Apple Mobile Device USB Driver was not successfully installed. This is on Windows7 64bit Anyone else had this problem?

I am still having issues completing a sync with my iPhone4 regardless of which USB port I use. I started the upgrade to iOS5 and the update to the phone completed. However, I am unable to get the phone to sync to load all of my apps to the phone. I have tried unstalling and reinstalling iTunes, including deleting any files which may have been missed by the uninstall. I have repeated this process over 5 times using IE, Chrome and Firefox just to make sure it was not a driver issue. Every time, when I connect the iPhone, I get the message it is installing the device driver for iPhone, following by the error mssage "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver Failed" Does anyone out there have any ideas?
Thnaks!

Hi, I was able to reformat my iPod and that worked. I read it on one of the threads and I am copy pasting the method below:
I opened the "My Computer" window and right-clicked on my ipod, and then selected "Format". I select "Yes" to format since I don't have anything on the nano to delete anymore.
I then Eject my nano from the computer and did a restart while the nano is disconnected from the computer.
Once Windows finish loading I reconnect the USB to the nano(back of computer) which automatically pulls up iTune. It asked me to name the new ipod detected and created a playlist for that specific ipod name.

This has nothing to do with Mozilla Firefox. Device drivers are with usb drivers most of the time.

When did Apple turn into piece of ****? It prompted me to update itunes and install icloud. I did. It crashed saying it was not properly installed and reinstall it. Since then I have been trying. I worry if my thousands of dollars worth of music is lost

I had a very similar problem, error 4251. (look in your log you will see that error) Since I finally fixed my problem, I thought I would see if I can help someone else.
What I found is that I lost burn ability in both iTunes AND Windows. Like you did. I did some digging and found that this wasn't hardware related at all. In fact, this boils down to a registry key getting messed up. (sigh) Yeah. It causes the system to get a bad 'handle'.
OK, here's what to try. Go to this Microsoft KB article. Scroll down and find the *manual* instructions for Vista. Delete the registry key that it specifies. Reboot. Now verify that you can burn in Windows. (If you have a RW disc, do a disc erase, or just try and burn from Windows Media Player.) If that is working now, you're on the right track.
Now the issue is that iTunes will still be broken. Go and install the latest Gear driver. (I know you may have done it, but do it again.) Now follow the intructions in this Apple KB article to verify the "GEARAspiWDM" info is back there in the registry. Now reboot. Try and burn in iTunes.
I hope this helps.

USB device not recognized/device software was not successfully installed

IPOD touch 4 also not showing up in ITUNES

Just fixed my ipod nano problem on my own and figured I'd share as I have just spent the last 4 hours trying to trouble shoot all of Apple's problems...following everyone's tips...nothing worked until I figured it out on my own.
I'm running windows 7 and have an Ipod Nano (6th Gen). Hard drive crashed on computer. Replaced HD. Everything works fine now. Downloaded iTunes along with all other programs. Nano wouldn't show up or sync on iTunes. Said Device Driver Software was not successfully installed (some USB problems). Tried everything. Finally, I figured it out.
Disconnect Nano. Uninstall iTunes AS WELL AS
Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Software Update. Apple only
tells you to uninstall iTunes and reinstall..restart computer bla bla bla. I said screw it and uninstalled all Apple programs (well, the listed ones above). I hooked up my nano to my computer to make sure the device manager recognized it without anything else plugged in...and it did. I unplugged it. Reinstall iTunes and all three other Apple programs listed above will also reinstall. I opened iTunes and plugged in my nano. It started with the "installing device driver software" and I was sure
it wasn't going to work. Well, it did work. My nano showed up in the upper right bar of iTunes and synced. Unreal... I unplugged my nano and plugged in the wife's. Once again, "installing device driver software." Voila! Her's showed up and synced too. I plugged mine back it to make sure it worked and it did. I'm done. It's working. Hope these steps work for you as well.

When I turn on my computer I get an error message; AppleSyncNotifier.exe Entry Point not found. What do I do to fix it?

When ever I log onto my computer I keep getting this error message.
AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point can not be found. Something to do with an SQLite3.dll file. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi Molly - I can tell you're frustrated and I will do my best
Can you tell me whether you have a 32bit or 64bit system. You can find out in the following way
Windows Vista or Windows 7
If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7, there are two methods to determine whether you are running a 32-bit or a 64-bit version. If one does not work, try the other.
Method 1: View System window in Control Panel
Click Start, type system in the Start Search box, and then click system in the Programs list.
The operating system is displayed as follows:
For a 64-bit version operating system: 64-bit Operating System appears for the System typeunder System.
For a 32-bit version operating system: 32-bit Operating System appears for the System typeunder System.
Method 2: View System Information window
Click Start, type system in the Start Search box, and then click System Information in thePrograms list.
When System Summary is selected in the navigation pane, the operating system is displayed as follows:
For a 64-bit version operating system: x64-based PC appears for the System type under Item.
For a 32-bit version operating system: x86-based PC appears for the System type under Item.
If you have a different OS (operating system) let me know which one and I'll tell you how to find that out.
Once I know I should be able to give you the fix.
Cheers
