    thank you guys so much! you really helped me out of a bind. my PC wouldn't recognize my iphone to offload pics and free up space, to the extent that now my phone's storage is full and business is on hold. the solution: location and privacy settings reset. now, it's game on! have an excellent day!!

    Just bought IPhone xr. It had my playlist from ITunes on it but no songs. I spent almost 2 hours on the phone with Apple. The 1st person had me to do everything but stand on my head and it still didn't work. She put her supervisor on the phone and she remoted in to my pc (windows 10) and also my phone. Still couldn't get it to work. Whenever I plugged my phone up, my pc nor my laptop would recognize my phone. I couldn't even import my photos. I looked at lots of UA-cam videos, but nothing worked. I tried what you guys said and here's what happened. I reset my privacy and location on my phone under settings-general-reset. I then restarted my phone. I went to the device manager on my pc and searched for Apple driver like you said. Then I completely uninstalled ITunes for the 20th time. I went in the Apple Store and downloaded it again. Was so afraid I was going to lose all my music in my library but when ITunes came back up everything was fine. Plugged my phone in and the option to import my pictures came up. went to ITunes and there was my phone icon. I synced my playlist and everything went fine. Thank you guys. There was another video that I truly believe had the same idea but unfortunately he didn't speak English too good and I couldn't understand what he was saying. Thank you again. You guys are truly experts. Apple would be lucky to have you on their team!

    Thank you. iTunes updated on PC as you suggested and then, as part of this process, updated software on iPhone. It took a while for updates to install, but phone identified afterwards and videos etc. could be copied over to PC. Apple's on-line prompts followed to the letter.

    May i suggest another tips for Windows user, if you still can't connect after trying all the above but noticed you are missing the "apple mobile device USB driver" you can get it fixed by disconnecting from your account in iTunes and then use another iPhone to connect. I had that problem after updating to iOs12 after i plugged my wife's iPhone the driver got installed et fixed everything

    Anyone having a problem with your iTunes recognizing an iphone x s or s max , it’s most likely because you’re running a version of iTunes that was written before these devices existed and therefore your new phone may as well be some android phone because it will not recognize it. Just update iTunes and it should work fine

Once it installs, open itunes and connect iphone. Now! It will prompt you that in needs to install a driver for iphone to work! Done deal :-)

      You probably found your answer already, but just in case this helps someone else: mine wasn't under universal serial bus controllers, but under "mobile phones" (probably not exactly what it says but my pc is in French) which is the first slot that appears (at least for me it's in first since it starts with an A in French, might be further down but look for something phone related and not just usb related). After that, you can do as said in the video. Hope this helps!

I then upgraded to the latest iOS (12.1) from one version back on my iPhone 7, restarted my PC and iPhone, reset the setting, etc; no joy. Downloading the latest Apple device driver fixed the problem. Nothing in the upgrades and installations indicated that I needed a new driver.
