I've a particular machine on which I wish to install iTunes, current version, I think it's 10.4.10. No matter what I do, no matter how many times I completely remove, de-install, expunge iTunes, Quicktime, Apple software update, Bonjour, Apple mobile device support and Apple application support from my machine, cleaning out stuff in the "Documents and settings" folder having anything whatsoever to do with Apple or iTunes, ensuring the Program Files folder and Common Files folder is clear of anything to do with Appleware, then re-installing iTunes and rebooting just to make sure everything gets installed, I plug in my iPhone, get the doo-ding USB device connected noise, and sometimes I get the "new hardware found" message with the words "Apple mobile device" and sometimes with the word "iPhone" after. Upon opening iTunes, the iPhone does not appear. In fact, nothing in Devices appears. I look in Control Panel / System / Hardware / Device Manager / USB Devices and do not find anything installed there that even remotely looks like a USB driver of any kind. There's a system environment variable called devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices which, when set to 1, will show you anything untoward in Device Manager. I have this set thus, and I never see anything in USB devices. I can plug other USB devices, such as disks, audio or MIDI interfaces, etc., SD cards in readers, even the JAWS dongle, into any of the USB ports on the machine, and they all work like they're supposed to. The only thing I'm having trouble with is this darn iTunes device driver. I'd would so much prefer to manage my iPhone on my PC than my wife's Mac, but I suppose if I have to, I'll go that route, but I can't imagine there's not some way to fix this problem. Any suggestions not previously covered in the above are most welcome, with my undying thanks in advance.
