i found it out that the apple mobile device is running yet there is no driver that is loading so that it can recognize my iphone

any suggestions on how to get the computer automatically to search the driver in the system32/drivers folder?

i already tried downloading the driver and copying into the folder and doing restart

i've also tried to reinstalling itunes and i used winrar to extract the applemobiledevice support and repaired but it didn't do anything

are there any other suggestions?

hp pavilion dv2700, Windows Vista

Sorry, I should have qualified that: in the past I have given dump/debug/log details to people in the 'Windows' world to try to solve problems that I've thought have needed immense details to resolve but since owning a Mac I have discovered that if I am thinking at that level of detail then I have lost the real plot and my pulling back and looking at things simply again has been an eye-opener, hence my suggestion in response to your question to simply 'get a Mac'.

Part of the 'issue' with Windows seems to be its varieties and variants (Windows 7 x64 Ultimate Edition (Build 7100), for example) and the range of various and variable hardware on which it can run, too often with random and non-deterministic results, not to mention the almost limitless and unnecessary combinations of user-configuration options and requirements!

Seriously, get a Mac if you are into the Apple world, even on the periphery, if you want an easier life (in my experience).

Good luck with your 'issue'.

Also having the same issue with Windows Vista x64. I have noticed that the device drivers are no longer installed into "C:\program files (x86)\common files\apple\xxxx" like they were in the previous release of iTunes? Instead of leaving them there, they have all but disappeared...

Get a mac, hah. I've ordered a MacBook Pro, but that's not the answer to my problems either. I will still be using Vista machine for iTunes.
