Apple Mobile Device Driver not In Device Manager

Anonymous

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.

Not very good info when the driver isn't installed - the above articles are about syncing WHICH YOU CANT DO IF THE DRIVER IS NOT INSTALLED!

Actually, never mind all that, this post on another site nails it exactly. Try:

http://www.technipages.com/itunes-fix-iphone-or-ipod-not-detected-in-windows-8

It will also work on windows 7. In case the link is broken what you do is:
1. Open devices and printers, you should see the ipod in 'Unspecified' if it isn't there check the connecting lead is supported.
2. Right click and select properties, then hardware tab, properties again, then general tab, Change settings (blue/yellow shield thingy)
3. Next popup, select Driver tab and update driver
4. Select Browse my computer for driver software and navigate to:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. If you don’t have this folder, check in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.

Fantastic! Thank god for support communities, and thanks to Mitch Bartlett for posting the solution.

I just tried it and it detected the drivers that are having problems. These are all the driver errors that came up:

	SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller has a driver problem	<br>	---
There is a problem with the driver for SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller. The driver needs to be reinstalled.
		Reinstall device driver	<br>	---		<br>	---	<br>	There is a problem with the driver for SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller. Reinstalling the driver might fix this problem.

	Microsoft WPD Enhanced Storage Password Driver has a driver problem	<br>	---
There is a problem with the driver for Microsoft WPD Enhanced Storage Password Driver. The driver needs to be reinstalled.

	Unknown Device doesn't have a driver	<br>	---
There is no driver installed for Unknown Device.

		<br>	---
			<br>	---		<br>	---

The program couldn't resolve the problems because this error message popped up 'An error occurred while sending your information to Microsoft.’ I noticed that the Microsoft WPD enhanced storage password driver and SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller have not been working. I went to device driver and tried to update them but that wouldn't work. For days I've been looking for a download link for them so I can reinstall but I can't find a download anywhere.
