So I tried Everything , and my apple mobile device driver (or any apple driver) isn't showing up under my device manager. I'ts under my services but not under my device manager. This is causing neither of my iphones to sync with the computer. Please tell me if there is anyway to manually install the driver, since I followed apple's support for if it was missing, and it didn't work. My iphone(s) are not even being recognized as a camera or in recovery mode. I also re installed like 80 times(following apples way of completely re installing it) and the driver is still not in the device manager. It's not my usb either since I have 3 usb's and neither of my iphone's will still not appear as a device in the device manager.

    I'm having the same exact problem this 'Apple Mobile Device Driver' is not popping up under Device Manager at all. I only see it under services. My iPod is not showing up on my computer at all.

    I had the same problem and the following worked for me: 

    First, make sure you have iTunes and Apple Mobile Device Support Installed.

    1. Go to Device Manager
    2. Locate your Apple device (mine was under Portable Devices. It's very possible it's somewhere else for you.)
    3. Right click it and select "Update Device Driver."
    4. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Devices\Support\Drivers and select that folder
    5. Hit next. The driver should install and you'll see "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under the "Universal Serial Device USB Driver" section in Device Manager
