Upgraded to iTunes 11.1 and now it won't recognize my iPhone

So smart - U -Rock!

davidsh_seattle thank you so much! I just registered here so I could tell you how thankful I am you had those clear step by step instructions. I was about to lose my mind!! Thanks again.

have iTunes 11.2 installed. I am runnng XP on an iPhone 5 using iOS 7. All the steps work until I get to the drivers folder. There is no "+" dropdown, just the folder that says Drivers. How/where do I locate the usbaapl driver since it is just the single folder? When I try to proceed by selecting that folder it does the "instaling driver" dialogue with the "Wizard",says it's installed and lets me click Finish. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance, I know you are probably sick of this issue.

I'm hoping you can help me. I upgraded to the iphone 5s and i'm having the problem where Itunes doesn't recognize my phone. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 4 times, updated phone software to the latest and followed your steps, but get this message:windows found driver stofware for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.

Apple mobile device usb driver

access is denied.

HELP ME!! PLEASE 🙂

Wow that really worked! Thank you so much!

It just happened when I updated to iTunes 11.3.
The solution worked! Thank you!

Thank you, worked perfectly! Updated to 11.3 and iTunes would not recognize my phone.

NONE of the above worked for me. I had go to Device Manger and uninstall Apple Mobile Device (there was 2). Then I went to C/Program Files/Common Files/Apple/Mobile Device Support/Drivers then right clicked usbaapl64 and clicked install.

INSTANTLY reappeard in ITunes.

I use Windows 8.

i can't tell you how grateful i am for these instructions, they worked perfectly, thank you so much. God bless you <3
