You don't need to reboot Windows.


Leave your iPhone connected to your PC then:


  1. Quit iTunes
  2. In task manager click "show processes from all users", sort by description and kill everything "Apple". Also kill the process with the image name AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe
  3. Click Start > Run > in the Open text box copy & paste the following - with the quotes - "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\AppleMobileDeviceHelper.exe" and press OK.
  4. Open iTunes

I tried numerous things to fix this problem. Nothing worked for me until I remembered that it started soon after I received some lightning connector (USB charger cable) off Ebay. So got my genuine Apple one from the bedroom and that worked instantly. I've never had this problem until now and have for many years used "cheap" ones I bought off the internet. Not sure if its the quality off these cheap ones, or that I am now using Windows 8.1 on a new dell which I recently purchased but its all pointing to the cheap cable off ebay. Very frustrating that I couldnt connect to my iTunes for about 3 weeks but all working now.


So try an original Apple cable and see if that resolves your issues.
