Do I need to install standalone drivers for my iPhone 3g?

And if so, where can I find them?

It is plugged in, and after uninstalling the broken driver in hardware manager, it now charges again. When I plug it in it tells me it cannot find the digital still camera driver, and does not show up in iTunes or in the Windows Explorer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes twice, with the latest version. Do I need to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes?

Custom, Windows Vista

I have similar problem with installation of 8.1.0.52. No Iphone Found. Uninstalled and Reinstalled. Received one message during original installation indicating insufficient security to complete install. My User is administrator and on retry the installation completed successfully. I see old version of driver in c:\windows\system32. Exact same symptoms on Desktop Vista 64. Should have tested sync between installation and I might have one good machine running ...

WORKAROUND: Forcing the usbaapl64.sys driver to reinstall.

The Apple Mobile Device that is supposed to show under Device Manager - Universal Serial Bus Controllers is missing. There is an Apple IPhone under Portable Devices (must have iPhone attached). Using this device you can force a driver reinstall. Unfortunately getting the driver package is a pain requiring two extractions.

Using WinRar (a better WinZip) uncompress the installer iTunes64Setup.exe into a folder iTunes64Setup. There will be six components:
AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi
AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
Bonjour64.msi
iTunes64.msi
MobileMe64.msi
QuickTime.msi
SetupAdmin.exe

The drivers are in AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi. Unfortunately reinstalling or repairing using this does not fix the problem.

Using WinRar open AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi and scroll to near the bottom locating usbaapl64.sys, usbaapl64.cat, usbaapl64.inf and usbaplrc.dll. The last dll might not be needed. Extract these by drag and drop to your folder.

From Device Manager locate the Portable Devices entry for Apple iPhone. Open the properties move to the Driver tab. Select the folder containing the extracted usbaapl64.inf file. Force the driver selection by using the "Let me pick from list of drivers on my computer" option (last item on panel). This will bring up a selection of Apple Mobile Device USB Driver and the current Digital Still Camera. Choose the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.

When done the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver will appear as it should under the Universal Serial Bus Controllers in Device Manger.

Ugly but it worked twice 🙂

Schep,
I tried this to no avail, each time I try to extract a dile from the applemobiledevice.msi I get this:
! C:\Users\NULL\Desktop\AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi: The archive is corrupt

I end up this a 0-sized file, that give me this message when I try to force it as a driver:

The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems.

Any ideas? Maybe you can e-mail me those files, lol.

I just need to back it up so I can return it to the store for a replacement, the vibration function stopped working. I am re-downloading both the 32 and 64 bit versions of iTunes, I will try each. If anyone else has any ideas, please don't hesitate to share.

I also got the corrupt archive but was able to browse to the drivers and extract them. I'm using WinRar 3.51 which is back level. It might be kinder to bad archives than the latest release.

I can send the drivers to you. I have a gmail.com account which I can safely post here for this exchange schep1949 if you wish a copy send me an email to that account and I will reply with a clean zip containing the drivers with the inf file.
