Moreover, when the USB device is partially suspended, Windows often loads a generic USB driver instead of the Apple Mobile Device USB driver. This interrupts the connection, and iTunes doesn\u2019t show the iPhone even when it is connected.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Additional Fixes<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span>1.
