Sometimes the USB driver for the iPhone is corrupt, meaning that iTunes never realizes what is plugged in.


For iTunes 12.5.4/iPhone 6+


  • Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
  • Right click the file called "usbaapI64.inf"
  • Choose INSTALL


This should take a few seconds, and then iTunes should come to life and see the phone. At that point, you may have to tell the phone to "trust" the computer again.

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.
