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

I allow myself to provide a shortcut that worked for me without entering Device Manager.

Go directly in

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers

or

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers

then right click on "usbaapl" or "usbaapl64" and chose install...

if your iPhone/iPad is already connected to the usb port, you'll see it appear in iTunes.

Thanks anyway davidsh_seattle, you showed the way...

You're a Champ mate! Thanks indeed for your help!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

This worked with my new iPhone 5c.

Thank you so much! This worked for me.

DUDE, YOU ROCK!

It didn't work for me. Only partially. I bought Lenovo 440s and such approach worked only for 1 USB port (and only partially as it disconnects and reconnect back constantly (1 time in 1 minute)

For other two USB ports, was not resolved. For one USB port, system wrote that driver is not applicable. For other USB port nothing happened as it disconnects and reconnects each second making a lot of system noise and iphone connection sounds.

Is there are other way to solve it?

Wow, that you so much. I was minutes away from the headache of uninstalling and reinstalling everything. Thank you davidsh_seattle!!

Thank you davidsh_seattle for your help!

Big Up to Crowded Brain for sorting this for me! Using Windows 8 and this simple fix did the Biz - Sweet!!
