iPhone not showing in Windows Explorer - June 2019
Hi All,
I know there are already a lot of post about the subject but nothing have helped so far.
Our issue is that the iPhone 7 Plus doesn't show in Windows Explorer but syncs in iTunes.
Here are the things we did:
- Uninstall and re-install the drivers (together with all the device restarts). Updated all the drivers, still didn't work.
- Updated Windows and iOS to latest version.
- Ran the troubleshooter for Apple USB device. Error here is saying that USB 2.0 is not compatible with USB 3.0 or something like that.
- Re-installed iTunes, didn't help.
- Looking at device manager, when I tried reinstalling the driver and manually selecting which driver I wanted, MTP USB Device doesn't show available drivers.
- No Apple folder in C:\Program Files\Common Files and in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files. So I can't find where I can manually install usbaapl64.inf or usbaapl.inf
- No Apple Mobile Device service found in Services.msc
- Connected another iPhone (XR) to the same Windows laptop, works fine.
- Windows laptop only has 1 USB 3.0 port. USB Hub doesn't make a difference as well.
- User account already has Full Control in iTunes folder
I've seen a suggestion saying to use Windows Photo Viewer (Photos for Windows 10) or something like that, but doesn't work great. It copies photos/videos for about 2 or 3 mins then it would stop and it won't detect my iPhone anymore.
Any other ideas?
Thank you.
