My iphone is not showing up as a device in itunes when it is plugged into my computer, how do I fix this?

Thank you! 🙂 This helped me!

To add to this because my scenario was slightly different, I needed to open Device Manager > Portable Devices > Apple iPhone. I right-clicked Apple iPhone and install the drivers from this location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers

After they installed I need to "Allow" the device to be used and all is great now!

All the best - Fred

Thank you so much JF Fourie!!!! Worked like a charm!!

Worked like a charm, now if I could only get the last two hours back ...

: Thank you. JF Fourie. This worked when none of the other many suggestions did. Updating the driver to usbaapl64 (Windows 10). was the key.

This really helped. I tried all sorts of things, but this is the only thing that worked, so I really appreciate your fix to this problem. I'll admit, it took me a while to do it as I couldn't find all the files you said to go to, but I found them eventually, and I've gotten up and running once more.

Thank you very much for your help.

Those tips are still working here in 2016!

You got my phone going again on iTunes. 🙂

Cheers, mate!

Thank you my devices were connecting just fine and then with the most recent update ITunes stopped recognizing them. I spent half the day adding new songs only to not be able to transfer them to my phone because it wouldn't recognize my phone. I spent numerous hours trying to fix it and was on the phone with apple (waiting on hold) when I noticed this post. I tried it and it worked ITunes finally recognized my phone. Thank you!

Really Helped thanks
