Apple Mobile Devices driver MIA

Uninstalled all Apple apps. Reinstalled iTunes. The AMDS part of that install had no errors nor did the rest. AMDS still not found in device manager under any category so unable to do a driver update. Ran the iTunes diagnostic

The help button takes me to https://support.apple.com/en-us/108643?&cid=acs::fm-itunes_HT204095-93716

AMDS service is present but not running.

Started it and got the same started then stopped error message.

Thank you, I had missed that part so apologies. Did as directed and AMDS installed with no errors but IOS devices still not recognized. The USB connection is fine. My iPhone15 says its connected and its charging the battery. The AMDS service is listed but not running so I started it and got the below message

AMDS shows up as an app. AMDS does not show up under USB hierarchies in device manager presumably because its not running. Took a flyer and installed Apple Devices. It recognized AMDS and said it had to uninstall it because it was old. Apple Devices still does not see my iPhone15.

Additional direction appreciated.

Just repeated that and checked every device tree and the is no AMDS device nor anything remotely similar. The service however is present. iPhone dings when connected and battery resumes charging. Have changed USB ports on laptop but the result is the same. I apreciate you sticking with this.

I've done both the MS version and the Apple version. The Apple version errors because its older and cannot open a file on my computer. The MS version includes AMDS, software updater and Bonjour. Tried getting rid of iTunes etal and installing Apple devices with no success. Also tried thirdparty software but none of them "see" the device. Haven't tried the Administrator run.

AMDS shows up as a service but not anywhere on device manager. I reset my iPhone but when I plugged it in to my computer it did not give me a trust prompt.

Run as administrator yielded the same results.
