I've only ever connected my i-phone 5 to my Windows 7 PC to upload files (usually photos) and never had a problem. I do not have nor intend to install i-tunes on my PC as this causes problems with other software.
Now, my PC does not appear to recognise that the phone is connected although acknowledged as a mobile device in device manager.
Is there anything I can do to remedy this?
Have checked integrity of all hardware including cables.

Hi! To sync iPhone with a computer, you will need iTunes.
Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
You can also sync your phone using Wi-Fi.

Then I guess you don't really want to fix the problem.
I've had iTunes installed on many PCs over the years and it's never caused any issues, so stop limiting yourself.
