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.

    For some strange reason, my relatively new Dell 8900 (Win 10 Pro) just "lost" the Apple Mobile Device Driver and I cannot sync my IPad/IPhone to ITunes ... using the above steps (for Win 7), it also worked for Win 10 and I did not have to re-do the steps to re-sync my devices to ITunes.

    On my desktop and my laptop - both with Windows 10's latest updates and ITunes 12.x - this problem has come back with a vengeance and may not be fully resolvable.  It appears that Windows no longer allows Apple's USB drivers to install over their 2006 (!) MTP USB device driver.  You can no longer select the actual driver for the IPhone 6 at all.  Reinstalling Apple's software only works as a temporary solution.  Windows will eventually replace the driver with their 2006 driver.  If anybody has found a way around this, please post it. 

    I realize that there is little incentive for either company to resolve this as Apple wants people to buy their new product and Microsoft does not want people to buy anything from Apple. 

    I have this problem on 2 systems so I am pretty sure its not system or account specific.
