Fix “Apple driver hasn’t been found. Please download and install iTunes.”

Trying to jailbreak using TaiG 2.0 and seeing the error “Apple driver hasn’t been found. Please download and install iTunes.”? Well, you are not alone. A lot of users who have been trying to use the tool to get the jailbreak are seeing the error. What would surprise most users is the fact that they have the latest version of iTunes installed on their PCs but they will still see this error. This can be very frustrating. The problem, however, lies in having the latest version of the iTunes. You need to have an older version – which is weird – to be able to jailbreak using TaiG.

If you have iTunes 12.1 installed

  1. Download the driver package: iTunesDriver64_0205.exe
  2. Install the downloaded file.
  3. Reboot your PC.
