Apple Mobile Device Driver not In Device Manager

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 helpful at all.  

    We have been installing devices on Windows since before Clinton was president and there should be no need for these forums.  I should not have to figure out how fiddle with installing devices--especially since the PC will access iTunes just fine.

    This is why I will not instill Windows 10 until I absolutely have to.

    Hi.

    I've been experiencing this same problem since the March 2015 update of iTunes came out.  That's about 8 months ago, as I'm writing this.  Since that time, I've opened dozens of support cases with Apple. all of which remain unresolved.  Apple support has wasted hundreds of hours of my time, and still, no one at Apple has any clue how to install the Apple Mobile Device Driver. 

    After reading this thread, it really seems as if NONE of the engineers at either Apple OR Microsoft know how to install device drivers!  ****?

    Seriously...,  Where's The Future with Apple or Microsoft?  The supposed "engineers", of both of these so-called "high-tech" companies, are either stubbornly refusing to lift a finger to help, or they are just plain clueless about how to do their jobs?!?  

    Color me thoroughly disgusted.

    Thank you so much. It also helped in Windows 10. I was ready to chuck my IPOD out the window.
