Q: Apple Mobile Device USB Driver Missing

Thanks after installing, uninstalling , and looking for the driver your fix worked great. So simple and so quick.  I knew that that the driver for my ipod shouldn't be from Microsoft.

Clear instructions and It worked perfectly. Thanks for the great tip.

Chengtai2,

I have been trying to solve this problem for a good 2 hours searching from the Apple support main page. You my friend, have made my day.

This solution worked perfectly on how to re-install the usb driver for Apple. Really appreciate it man!

Thank you very much.

Why is this not listed in Apple's repair procedures?

Thanks to Ebnflo it finally worked. Such a headache... Happened after latest Win10 update OR latest iPhone6 update. I suspect it was iOS.

thanks man.. this worked..

In the beggnining i wasnt going to try it because i couldnt find the Apple Driver under USB devices. Then i looked under Portable devices > apple iphone > right click > browse driver > point it to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers ( a bit different than yours) and voila!

I am able to use itools again

Thanks, this was helpful.  Mine was located under C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers (on Win 10)

Oops, someone already seems to have given a same response.  How do I delete my comment?

Amazing. Worked perfectly. Thank you!

Wow! Thank you soooo much! It´s been 2 days I´m trying to fix this!

You helped a lot! >.<

Thank you!!

I've been searching for an answer for two days, this was driving me crazy.  I installed iTunes on my work laptop so I knew it wasn't the iPad or iPhone.  Thanks for the post.

Worked a treat but did get this error: "iTunes could not connect to this [device] because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000001)."

Just followed this If you see a '0xE' error when you connect your iOS device to a PC - Apple Support

Thank you.

Thanks Chengtai.  I used this advice with a Windows 10 machine. It's not exactly easy navigating to the correct subfolder to get the driver but you just keep clicking. My PC came with Windows 10 so this was not an installation problem.  Suddenly Itunes simply didn't have my phone icon so I couldn't update it via the USB. 

Thank you!  This fixed my issue as well

So I've tried all the suggestions here ... and I still get the "windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date" message and it shows me "WPD FileSystem Volume Driver."  That certainly doesn't appear to be an Apple driver.  Any ideas what I can do?  I've installed and uninstalled iTunes so many times tonight ...

Followed the instructions again this morning to locate the correct driver.  It was there; so I uninstalled iTunes and downloaded it again.  Reinstalled and it works like a charm.  Thanks for the discussions on the site.
