Question: Q: Apple Mobile Device USB Driver Missing

How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows

Keyboard and trackpad are built-in. You cannot disable them. They want you to remove third-party peripherals.

Download the Apple Mobile Device Support Driver here http://fileswappr.com/odownload.php?file=8f13708210194c47568

It's hard to find it on the net

UPDATE from above , download it here http://download.fileswappr.com/?id=20

dont download any of the above as they are possibly viruses that can harm your computer. please download the original ITUNES and extract it into WinRar, then drag the apple mobile support driver thing into your desktop, and proceed to installing it from there

For all guys who are dealing with the problem about AMDS driver, I come with workaround.

After many hours to uninstall & reinstall, execute command line, write log, etc. that job did not help.

I installed the iTune on windows 8 x64 (on 2 PCs), and iTune has not been installed before, but it still got error around the Apple USB driver missing. ( even though the PC detects the iPhone USB, but the iTune does not).

1. Download & install Moborobo application http://91.pandaapp.com/pcsuite/

This application installer will call downloading and installing of iTune, but it get all things done perfectly automatically once you click OK. The problem with driver should have be solved.

2. Other workaround, a application does not require iTune, it works awesome.

I ussually use it. The minor issue is this application which are running the Chinese language is default setting, you just click on the circle icon on top left, and move cursor on menu to change to "English".

Note: Please do not misunderstand, I did not PR for above applications, and I do not get anything from that, as I said, I went through many support URLs from Apple site and Microsoft, but they did not help, and I found above solutions.

I've installed both of application, but I think you just need one of them.

Extracting with WinRAR and executing the .msi worked.

THIS DID NOT PULL UP ON THE NET 😕

Just says webpage not available (im using google chrome)

Ok I have the same problem with the apple mobile device usb driver being missing on my PC. I have windows vista 32 bit. Can anyone tell me how I can reinstall just the driver??? I don't want to lose everything thats in my itunes library and reinstalling itunes will do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For anyone still having this issue, give this a shot:

First, make sure you have iTunes and Apple Mobile Device Support Installed.

1. Go to Device Manager

2. Locate your Apple device (mine was under Portable Devices. It's very possible it's somewhere else for you.)

3. Right click it and select "Update Device Driver."

4. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Devices\Support\Drivers and select that folder

5. Hit next. The driver should install and you'll see "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under the "Universal Serial Device USB Driver" section in Device Manager.

I hope I was able to help anybody who is still having this issue.
