How to download "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver"?

I don't have Apple Mobile Device USB Driver anywhere. I followed your instructions.I don't know what to do. I cannot connect to iTunes. I was able too about a week ago and it just seemed to stop working.

THANK YOUUUUUUU!!! This one worked for me right away....

1. Locate Universal Serial Bus Controllers > Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.
   It is also possible the device may show under Imaging Devices, Portable Devices, Other Devices or as an MTB USB Device.
2. Right-click and select Update Driver Software...
3. Click Browse my computer for driver software
4. Browse to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers

If the above hasn't help try the following:

1. Open Control Panel > Device Manager
2. Plug in your device
3. Locate Universal Serial Bus Controllers > Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.
   It is also possible the device may show under Imaging Devices, Portable Devices, Other Devices or as an MTB USB Device.
4. Right-click and select Update Driver Software...
5. Click Browse my computer for driver software
6. Browse to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers or
   C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
7. Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
8. Click Apple Mobile Device USB Driver
9. Click Next, then Close and exit Device Manager

Failing that try a full tear down and rebuild of iTunes as set out in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

This keeps Happening even when I tried to restart the amds but nothing seems to work I've done every single tutorial from yt and these apple threads and still after all my pc doesn't recognize my phone anymore

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. When reinstalling right click on the downloaded setup file and use run as administrator. It may also help to pre-install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable and/or temporarily disable any non-Microsoft anti-virus.

Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.

The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, or want to revert to an older version if the current one won't work properly for you at the moment.

Your library and device backups should be unaffected by these steps but there are links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

I downloaded a program called Ccleaner on my Windows. It’s good for multiple things but in answer to your question, I always use it to repair Apple Mobile Device. It works every time. I also use it to repair all other Apple programs including iTunes. ITunes repair tho can be iffy, you mostly have to uninstall it from ccleaner than reinstall from your browser when theres probl with it.

I removed the Apple Mobile device driver support but when I installed itunes it never reinstalled, I found the exe file but when I tried to install that it rerolled and didn't install, now my computer doesn't sync with my phone and now idk how to install it again

When installing iTunes right-click on the setup file and run as administrator.

What antivirus package do you have? It may help to disable it when reinstalling. In some cases AV has had to be removed to allow iTunes to install.

What is the exact text of the error message you get now if you attempt to install iTunes?

You could try the component wise install method described in the section Install missing components.

I was able to install itunes but it still hasn't installed the amds so, I uninstalled it and installed the older version which installed amds however in device manager the amds never came up so I wasn't able to update the driver

also when I updated my driver for my phone it still comes up with unable to connect with device

Glad it helped. 🙂

Anyone else that has this issue might find the more detailed advice I have posted at iOS device not showing in iTunes for Windows useful.

If you've installed iTunes the driver is already on your computer. See iOS device not showing in iTunes for Windows.
