Q: My iphone is not showing up as a device in itunes when it is plugged into my computer, how do I fix this?

Thank you!

Where is Device Manager?

OS 12

What is OS 12?

Assuming you have Windows click the Start Menu, or press WinLogoKey+R for a run dialog, and type in devmgmt.msc then press enter. The Device Manager control panel should open up.

Thank you so much! this worked! i have two iphones and an ipad, i just couldnt do a **** thing.

Thank you thank you thank you!

Thank you for your post. I have been trying for days to figure out why my device would not be detected in itunes. I followed your instructions and PRESTO !!!! detected my device first time. GREAT member !!!!!!

This definitely worked. It seems sometimes after Windows Updates, device driver software is need to be reinstalled. If that process is interrupted, you only end up with a generic Apple iPhone drive. Thanks!

Hi,

Believe it or not, the solution to your problem is easier than you think.

the problem is probably caused by a dirty lightning hub. Just use a toothpick to clean your iphone lightning port and you're good to go

Outstanding.

Worked like like a charm.

This i have done and it did not do anything for me. There was nothing wrong with my driver on my computer

when I go to my Itunes account in Itunes, I do not see Manage Devices/Add devives etc, on my phone just the basics show up. I have tried checking my drivers on my computer and they work, I have un installed everything and re installed, re stated my computer and devise. I need help please.

Thank you so much! This helped!

I tried updating the drivers with my iPod touch. No luck - already running the most up-to-date version. From other posts, it looks like the problem might be with the latest version of iTunes (12.3.0.44). I had already upgraded my touch to iOS9. When I updated iTunes, it stopped being recognized.

Thanks, JF.  This worked perfectly.  :-)

JF Fourie. It helped me too. Thank you.
