    *_NOTE: Close iTunes BEFORE doing this. He says that near the END of the video, which is not good when you're doing things along with him in the video._*

    If you can’t find the apple folder, I found that uninstalling the driver, the USB one that has the yellow triangle, and then running troubleshooting, your issue may be fixed. It worked for me.

    1:32 If you get the "compatibility" error message, try canceling the driver update, right click on the apple device, and choose uninstall. Unplug your device and plug it back it. It should reinstall and now be found by iTunes, etc.
