Apple smartphones are technology of unsurpassed quality. Having bought such a prestigious little thing for yourself, you probably never thought that you might have any problems when connecting this device to a computer.
However, no matter how it is. To connect an iPhone to your computer, you need certain drivers on it that will detect the device model and connect it.
iPhone driver for Windows
I must say right away that you do not have to download a diverse bunch of drivers for each version of the iPhone, as it was necessary, for example, to do for many phone models in the past. All you need to do is install iTunes on your computer.
Why iTunes? The thing is that it is in this program that all the necessary driver packs are contained that will help to recognize the connected Apple equipment, as well as facilitate various interactions with it.
In addition to drivers, other useful accessories, such as a player for multimedia files, will also be installed on your computer along with iTunes. In general, if you want to transfer any data or files between your PC and your iPhone of any model, then you need to install the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
Possible problems with iTunes
Of course, you probably already have iTunes installed, but you could not connect your iPhone. What is the reason? There are many reasons. For example, there was some kind of conflict between the drivers on your computer, which led to the impossibility of connecting the smartphone. An outdated version of iTunes could also be the culprit.
One way or another, the solution to the problem is already on the surface - you need to reinstall your iTunes, be sure to the latest version. Once you've done that, it's easy to connect your iPhone to Windows. However, if you are still having difficulties with this seemingly simple task, then perhaps you are dealing with some kind of problem in the computer itself.

While the iPhone and iPad can completely dispense with a computer, there are times when you might need one. Well, since the Apple technique is also not perfect and it may have errors, one of which I will try to help you solve.
One of the most popular is when the computer does not see the iPhone. There can be many reasons for this, but the most common cause of this error is: saved keys from past connections. Usually, each time you connect, the question "Trust this computer" should appear, but sometimes it does not appear. This problem can be solved in a few simple steps.
Mac doesn't see my iPhone or iPad
I'll start with a macOS-based Mac computer for iPhone and iPad. Naturally, due to the fact that this is one "family", users are less likely to have a problem when the computer does not see the iPhone. But such cases do happen.
So, if your iPhone stubbornly does not want to see your Mac, try cleaning the contents of a special system folder - Lockdown. To do this, follow my steps:
Step 2. Enter the program Finder and simultaneously press cmd + shift + G
in the window that appears, enter / var / db / lockdown and click the go button.
Step 3. You will be taken to the folder with the certificates of all devices that are ever connected to your Mac, they need to be deleted
Step 4. Press simultaneously the cmd + a buttons and move the selected files to the basket with the button "Move to cart" or by simple drag and drop
After that, connect the iPhone to the computer and when asked to trust or not, you answer to trust. The Mac should now see the iPhone normally.

Step 1. Disconnect all devices from the computer and close iTunes
Step 2. Press the Ctrl + Esc buttons at the same time
Step 3. Click on the magnifying glass icon or search field and enter% ProgramData% in the field and press Return
Step 4. Double click on the Apple folder
Step 5. On the Lockdown folder, right-click and select "Delete"
Step 6. Restart your computer and iPhone. If you don’t do this, you might get error 0xE80003.
Update iPhone drivers on Windows 7, 8 or 10
If the above method did not help, for Windows 7, 8 or 10 there is another way to solve the problem when the computer does not see the iPhone, but it is more difficult. You need to install drivers on your iPhone.
Step 1. Go to "Control Panel" on Windows 7, 8 or 10 and select "Device Manager"
Step 2. In the list, select the section "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" and find the driver Apple Mobile Device USB Driver
Step 3. Click on it with the right mouse button and select "Update driver"
Step 4. Now select "Search for drivers on this computer" and "Select a driver from the list of already installed drivers"
Step 5. Select "Have Disk" and specify the folder C: \ Program Files \ Common Files \ Apple \ Mobile Device Support \ Drivers, in the folder select usbaapl and click "Open"
Step 7. Now you can open iTunes and check whether he sees the device or not, if not, try restarting your computer.

We are often approached by readers with various questions about solving any problems related to mobile devices and software. One of the most popular: “ iTunes does not see the iPhone, what should I do?".
In contact with
You can find a working way out of such a situation on the Internet, but you have to fight your way through mountains of various information. In this article, we decided to combine all possible solutions and figure out why, after all, " iTunes does not see the iPhone«.
iTunes is often intimidating for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch users. The program seems confusing, complex, and extremely awkward. So he also throws out various pearls. Either the music is not synchronized correctly, the applications have disappeared somewhere, or even iTunes cannot detect the iPhone (iPad or iPod Touch).
You shouldn't despair (and switch to Android), there will always be solutions to the problem. If iTunes does not see the iPhone, check the functionality:
- Software... Reinstall iTunes by downloading the latest version.
- Cable... Try using a different cable.
- Computer... iTunes can't see iPhone due to Apple Mobile Device crash. Another computer can help fix the problem.
- USB ports... Oftentimes, the USB port is where the problem lies. Try using the connector on the back of the system unit.
If all the standard methods did not help, then it's time to take on the heavy artillery.
Doesn't see because he doesn't trust
iPhone or iPad are completely self-contained, stand-alone devices, but they still have to be connected to a computer from time to time to transfer large amounts of data, install software, etc. In this case, sometimes there is a problem of device synchronization, which can often be solved by the methods described below.
ON THIS TOPIC:
We are talking about trusted computers, or rather, the operating systems installed on them. Having connected an iPhone or iPad to a new computer for the first time (or after reinstalling the OS on an old one), the user receives a request "Trust this computer?" and must answer yes to access settings and content on a mobile device.
If you reject the request, then in the future there may be a synchronization problem., and to solve it you will need to use the instructions below.
On Mac
So, in order to receive a second request and "start trusting" your Mac, you need to select " Transition —> Go to folder"(Or use the keyboard shortcut" ⌘Cmd + ⇧Shift + G«),
and then go to address / var / db / lockdown and delete all certificates in this directory.
On Windows XP, 7, 8, 10
In the case of Windows, you will also need to delete the contents of the Lockdown directory. To do this, you need to enable the display of hidden folders and files ( Start —> Control Panel —> Folders settings),
and then go to address C: \ ProgramData \ Apple \ Lockdown(for Windows 7, 8, 10) or C: \ Documents and Settings \ All Users \ Application Data \ Apple \ Lockdown
If removing the certificates from the Windows PC did not solve the problem, you will have to use a more complex method:
1 ... Right-click on the shortcut “ A computer", Choose" Properties"And find" Device Manager«;
2 ... In chapter " USB controllers"Right-click to call the context menu of the item" Apple Mobile Device USB Driver"And click" Update drivers ...«;
4 ... In the window that appears, click " Overview"And go to the directory C: \ Program Files \ Common Files \ Apple \ Mobile Device Support \ Drivers, where we are interested in a file with the name " usbaapl", Which you want to install.
If none of the above methods helped to solve the problem, then, probably, its reason lies not in obtaining a trusted status for this computer. Try the following:
iTunes doesn't see iPhone or other Apple device on Microsoft Windows XP
1
... Close iTunes after disconnecting your device;
2
... Go to Start -> Execute and enter in the window that appears services.msc or open Services In chapter Administration Control panels;
3
... Find the item Apple Mobile Device and in the adjacent window click on Stop;
4
... After stopping in the same window, click on Run;
5
... After restarting the service, iTunes will be ready to work with your device.
