No driver for Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)


Recommended Posts

I am using:

  • iTunes 10.5.3.3
  • Windows 7 x64 SP1
  • iPhone 4S with iOS 5.0.1 (stuck on screen with iTunes logo with the arrow and the USB cable)

When I plug the iPhone in, iTunes does not detect it.

There are two entries in Device Manager with errors, both devices are called "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)"

I have pointed to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers but Windows can not find the drivers in there.

Within that folder exists the following:

  • usbaapl64.cat
  • usbaapl64.inf
  • usbaapl64.sys
  • usbaaplrc.dll

I have tried repairing and uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes.

Any ideas?

uninstall completely iTunes using Revo uninstaller (including registry entries) and re-install.

Remember to back up iTunes music/app folders like C:\Users\username\MyMusic\iTunes

That fixed it. Tar :)
