iTunes 11.1 on Windows 8 X64 doesn't detect iPhone 4S

It's all about the driver. Must update it for each iphone/ipad

• Right-click the Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver from the shortcut menu.
• Click "Browse my computer for driver software."
• Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
• Click the Have Disk button. (If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.)
• In the "Install from Disk" dialog, click the Browse button.
• Use this window to navigate to the following folder:
  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
• Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
• Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog.
• Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps. Open iTunes to verify that the device is recognized properly.

Thanks so much!! That link (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538) was the magic key!!!

Wow, how do I and seems a few others thank you enough? After over a week of searching, and doing way too many things, wham, success. Thanks TraderKK a whole bunch. 😀

Thank you TraderKK

Installing the "usbappl64" did the trick for me. My iPhone4 and iTunes were working just fine till I wanted to connect today. Did some searching, ran across your well written post. Up and running again. Again, thanks!

I had the same issue. What TradeKK recommended resolved it for me.

Thank you.

Thank You Rdg111! I tried everything as instructed and then I got to your comment. I switched out my cord and it works. I've been trying to get this computer to recognize my iphone for a week. Thank you so much!

This got it to work for me.

U need to delete

Bonjor

Apple Software Update

Apple Mobile Device Support

And Itunes

Thats it

If u dont know how to get there, go to control pannel

Then uninstall a program

Then they should be near the top.

It took me awhile to figure this out. About 4-5 hours i have been searching for this and I finally found it and I was so happy.

Thanks TraderKK this fixed it for me 🙂

C'mon Apple, you can do better than this

I still can't get this to work - my iTunes is not recognising 3 different Apple devices!

Right-click the Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver from the shortcut menu.

I'm not even seeing this option in Device Manager - what am I doing wrong? 😟

Apparently in my case, the cable was not the problem because when I plug my iPhone 4s to my Windows 8.1 machine it is not recognize but the iPhone is still charging. What do I need to do for it to be recognize?

yeah i get to the end and it says access is denied? what on earth is there to do now?
