For many years, Device Manager has never found a new driver.

Hi,
For many years, more than ten years.
Look back, please.
Has Device Manager found a newer driver, when we are eager for?
No, it has always said 
"The best driver software for your device is already installed".
This is not only the case on Windows 10, but also Windows 8, 7, Vista, XP ...
Every version of Windows could never search even a single new driver.
Hardware manufactures have released newer drivers already.
Also, they have been certified by MS, i.e. WHQL passed.
I hope Windows 10 will be the first version that can find a new driver.

@Ashidacchi,
Keep in mind, this "Search Automatically" option only searches Windows Update - it doesn't crawl the entire Internet to find the latest driver.  Many times Windows Updates is months, if not years, behind the newest driver available from the
manufacturer.  So you will probably continue seeing this result - I wouldn't count it as an issue as Microsoft doesn't upload every single latest driver available from every manufacturer.  It would just be too much of a hassle - for MS and for Intel/AMD/Realtek/NVidia/Lenovo/HP/Dell/ASUS.... 
the list goes on and on.

  • I have purchased a new computer and authorized my iTunes with my Apple ID; however, my iPod Classic, which I have had for many years, will not sync hundreds of songs that I have purchased and says the device needs to be authorized.  Help!

    I have purchased a new computer and authorized my iTunes with my Apple ID; however, my iPod Classic, which I have had for many years, will not sync hundreds of songs that I have purchased and says the device needs to be authorized. 
    I have searched high and low and there does not seem to be a way to authorize the iPod Classic.  What can I do to sync my purchases to my iPod?  I have tried reformatting/restoring it as suggested.  It continues to only allow me to sync non-icloud/itunes content. 
    Help!

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • For some reason the Apple ID window in iTunes  and App Store now seems to have a character number constraint. As a result I am unable to enter the final few characters of my Apple ID which I have had for many years. Does anyone know what has caused this?

    For some reason the Apple ID window in iTunes and App Store now seems to suddenly have a character number constraint which prevents me using my 29 character Apple ID. As a result I am unable to enter the final few characters of my Apple ID which I have had for many years. Does anyone know what has caused this?

    You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

    Hello!, my name is jan and i am using lightroom 2 for many years. I have an original set-up disk with a 24 digit serial number. I had never problems wih installation of lightroom. suddenly lightroom refuses to start when I try to from a picture i have taken with my nikon D500 and transferred to WINDOWS 8.1.  i have tried to re-install lightroom : the procedure asks for the serieal number , but refuses to accept the number that always worked. PLEASE help!!  jan

    If you are certain you have the right serial number, there really isn't much we can help you with here. You might try downloading and installing the last version of Lightroom 2. It will be the trial version, but when the trial screen appears there is an option to indicate that you have a serial number. Incidentally, Lightroom serial numbers start with the first four digits being 1160.

  • Waiting for wireless covereage for many years...

    Verizon wireless signal strength is weak in my home town of Manhasset, NY.  But it's not terrible--I can get by. But there is *NO* signal at my summer home in Rocky Point, NY, overlooking Long Island Sound.  These days, it should not be necessary to pay for a land-line for a summer bungalo. We've been waiting and hoping for many years for Verizon to improve coverage.  Will it ever happen?

    If it's any solace, I had VZ for many years prior to buying a vacation home in the Berkshires. (I live in Patchogue) VZ coverage at the condo was zippo. I had spotty coverage even in the general vicinity. I challenged VZ and they couldn't give me assurance that changes were coming so I jumped ship to AT&T. As of a few minutes ago, I checked a coverage map on cellreception.com and found that VZ must have boosted their coverage in western Massachusetts because what was formerly a region dotted with white spots for no coverage or pink spots for maybe coverage, has become a totally red zone! I have had my AT&T for a year on August 15th and if I wasn't folish enough to sign up for a two year contract, I'm bailing on them. Their coverage is absolutely horrible on my drive to and from MA. No signal at all on NY Route 22. Can't call, be called, or check data. That's about 25-30 percent of the entire trip! No I'm not a driving phone user, those miles are when my wife is at the helm!
    Maybe VZ will be upgrading soon. I can tell you that they couldn't/wouldn't tell me of any impending changes last year when I was looking around so even if they are building it right now, you son't find out until your reception suddenly improves!

  • Is there a phone number to call Adobe.  I go around an endless loop pressing their contact info tabs?  Maybe someone at this sight can help. I am new to digital photo - I have been a B&W film photographer for many years. I have a problem with a Macbook Ai

    Is there a phone number to call Adobe.  I go around an endless loop pressing their contact info tabs?  Maybe someone at this sight can help. I am new to digital photo - I have been a B&W film photographer for many years. I have a problem with a Macbook Air.  It was working fine - I was using LR and a message came on the screen that said something like the memory was dangerously low.  I stopped and tried to delete LR files.  I couldn't do it.  I closed the program and tried reopening and got the message that there is not enough memory available to open LR.  I contacted Apple.  They spent a half hour on the phone with me and eventually told me they didn't know how to help. The tech said that LR had gobbled up all the memory and said I should contact Adobe and ask where and how my photo files are stored and to delete them.  I have several back-ups.  Thanks - Arthur

    This sort of error message only comes up for Lightroom when your hard disk is full. Indeed this has nothing to do with internal memory as that will be intelligently be dealt with. If you have a mac Book Air that is not so surprising as the cheapest versions come with very small hard disks and if you shoot raw with any recent camera, you'll fill up your hard disk very quickly and you can probably only store a few months of pictures if you are a typical photographer. So the bottom line is that you need to create some room on your hard disk. You should move some of your originals to an external hard disk. You can also delete some of your backup copies of your catalog file that Lightroom automatically generates every few days and that quickly gobble up hard disk space. So first figure out how full your hard disk is. To see that, go to the apple menu, hit -> About this Mac -> More info->Storage. You should see your internal hard disk on top and you'll find that it is almost entirely full with photos. Now find your Lightroom catalog file using Finder. It is usually in a folder in the Pictures folder in your home directory. You should see a Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file, a previews file and a folder called backups. Inside the backups folder, you'll find a lot of subfolders. They have names that show the dates the backups were created. If you have backups of your entire hard disk, you can delete these backups when they are older than a few months. I usually only keep the last 4 around. Just drag the folders into the trash can on the dock on the bottom of your screen and empty the trash. This will probably free up enough space that Lightroom will already run again. Now start thinking about where you will want to store older images. If you have a good USB3 or Thunderbolt hard disk that is probably the best option. There is a video here by Adobe that has some instructions on how to do this: Is Your Hard Drive Full? Here’s How to Move Images to Another Drive in Lightroom. « Julieanne Kost's Blog If that doesn't work because you don't have enough hard drive space to run Lightroom yet, here is another set of instructions to move your files using the finder to the other hard disk: How do I move only my photos to another hard drive, leaving the catalog where it is? - The Lightroom Queen. If you follow that, as soon as you confirm all your images are on the new hard disk, you can delete them from your internal one. She is not so clear about that part but if you don't delete the originals that you moved off you don't free up space. You should move the folder structure over to the new hard disk and then reconnect the folders in Lightroom. That should make it refind all your images.
    That said, if you are uncomfortable with the computer in itself, your best bet is to find a local photography club. There is invariably a Lightroom savvy person in there that could help you move your files. That might be your best bet if you are uncomfortable moving these yourself. A general mac savvy person like you would find at an Apple store or so generally will not be able to help you with this except when they are photographers themselves and know Lightroom. You might get lucky with that.

  • I need advise and help with this problem . First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product . At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to

    I need advise and help with this problem .
    First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
    At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
    In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
    Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
    trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
    Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
    ''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
    With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
    I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
    Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

    Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
    To remove it, see:

    Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

    I have been a Quicken user for many years but have heard that the move to Yosemite is a Quicken nightmare - so I'm trying to research new software.  I'm overwhelmed by the number of available programs, all the things that each program can do and perplexed by the arguments for and against each feature in each program. 
    My needs are relatively simple for my small business:  1)  I need to be able to import years worth of Quicken data into the new program  2)  I need to easily print checks  3)  I need to easily reconcile my checking account each month and  4)  I need to generate basic reports for my accountant (e.g. P & L statements, category summaries).
    I have been a FileMaker user since 1.0 so I don't need (or want) A/R, A/P, inventory management, invoicing, etc.
    I just need a solid, dependable electronic checkbook per above.
    Suggestions?

    Thanks for your response and feedback.
    I would recommend you continue with Quicken Essentials.  As noted by others, it performs well on Yosemite.
    My personal experience is Quicken 2007 for Mac also on 10.7.5 (with many reports of it both updated and successfully running on Yosemite) and I personally would not touch Quicken Essentials with a 10 foot pole -- BUT, if it ain't broke for you, don't fix it!

  • Elements 7.0 worked perfectly for many years then stopped working about 1.5 months ago

    Elements 7.0 worked perfectly for many years then stopped working about 1.5 months ago. I just finished at chat session with Adobe support, but we did not find a solution. At the very end, when I tried to run Elements in the sandbox, I got an error message saying that my licensing stopped working.

    I have been trying to troubleshoot with Verizon support via twitter as well. So far I have gotten, to simply turn location off for 12 hours and afterwords see if it works again. This did not work. They said engineers are looking into it.  Additionally this was a replacement phone via the HTC advantage program so I assume it is refurbished. I did not use GPS until the 5,0,1 android update coincidentally so I do not know for sure it worked when I got it.
    The 2nd link shows the possibility of GPS breakage during the initial teardown of a return. Sadly the other issue is extreme battery drain. A 5 min phone call took 5% power and standby for 2 hours took 30%. No active background apps beyond stock, no auto sync, all devices but 4g data and WiFi turned off.
    I think the software is not to blame. Seems HTC sent me an incrediby faulty phone.

  • HT1212 After working perfectly for two years my iTouch has suddenly stopped connecting to my Hub.  I have tried everything I can think of to get it working again but to no avail.  My desktop computer still works through the same hub

    After working perfectly for two years my iTouch has suddenly stopped connecting to my Hub although my desktop computer still connects.  I have tried everything I can think of, including suggestions off Google/You Tube but nothing makes any difference.  Any ideas.  Surely it is not fit for the scrap heap after two years, but is clearly no use as it is.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:

    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
