Downloaded a new version of Itunes and now my suffle will not connect.

Try these two sections, irrespective of what error messages you see. They may help with getting AMDS installed.

VC80 errors

The message "An error occurred during installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT, type="win32", version="8.0.50727.6195", publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", processorArchitrcture=..." may occur because a particular library file is not included in the distribution package supplied with iTunes or won't install for some unspecified reason. Installing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update before attempting to reinstall iTunes may help.

There are three files to choose from so you need to select the one that matches the processor architecture of your system, which should be noted in the error message.

• vcredist_x86.EXE - 32-bit systems
• vcredist_IA64.EXE - Itanium processors
• vcredist_x64.EXE - other 64-bit systems

Missing api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-0.dll or api-ms-win-crt-heap-l1-1-0.dll errors

Try installing the Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows, then try installing iTunes again.

See iOS device not showing in iTunes for Windows - Apple Community. Despite the title the same steps may help.

Are you using the iTunes64Setup.exe download or the version from the Microsoft Store? The old school installer may work better for you?
