Hello @dazegoneby,
I understand that your HP Pavilion p6-2220t Desktop PC running Windows 7 used to connect to your home network without an issue, but recently it does not recognise the network. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Troubleshooting Your Wireless Network and Internet Connection (Windows 7), which has steps to help resolve issues such as this. Now I am not recommending that you do the step that asks you to reset up your router as you have other devices that are working fine so that would not be the issue.
If the above document does not resolve your issue could you please re-post with either a screen shot of your Device Manager showing what is listed in Network Adapters or re-post with which wireless card you have.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
Also be sure to mark my post as “Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others who face the same challenge find the same solution.

I recently updated to the new iOS through my computer with my iPhone 4 pluged in via USB. It has shut down my phone and just shows the iTunes icon with the USB cord to plug in. When I try to sync my phone with the computer iTunes does not recognize it!! So now my iPhone is useless and I really need it back to working order!! Please help......Hilda
Hello Hilda Louise
Start with the article below to get your iPhone to be recognized in iTunes again. Then you will probably need to restore it to get it back up and running.

Computer does not recognize Iphone 4 is plugged in to USB. Can't transfer pictures.
My HP laptop always use to recognize my Iphone 4 then all of the sudden stopped. I have been trying to transfer pictures and it does not see that any device or camera is plugged in to it like it use to. I have VISTA on my computer. When I go to My Computer it doesnt show anything is even plugged into the USB port. I tried all 3 ports on the laptop. The Windows help assistant talks about needing a driver..basically a software disc to load any new divice onto the computer. How would I get a driver for the Iphone?? I never needed that before. I could just plug it in and I would get the pop up asking if I wanted to transfer my pictures, etc. This is so annoying! I do back up to I Cloud as well.
Hi..Yes, I Tunes is installed on the computer. I sync with it no problem. I am trying to get the pictures from my Iphone onto my computer. When I use to plug the phone in I would get a pop up from Windows saying do you want to transfer pics to computer, do you want them to erase off phone once transfered, etc. Now I do not get the pop up. It is like the computer no longer recognizes that my Iphone is plugged in. Technically the pics are on my computer in the Photo Stream folder..but I want to actually transfer them off the phone. I have tried to turn off Photo Stream and I cloud but it does not help. The computer still does not recognize the phone plugged into the USB. If I go to "add a printer, scanner or camera" on the computer..it does not see it either. That is where it talks about having a driver to set up a new hardware device. I have 900 pics on my phone that I do not want to have to delete one by one...and I want to make sure they are downloaded. I also have videos that I want to download to the computer either and those are no where to be found..not even in the Photo Stream folder. I appreciate any help!

Windows 'My Computer'does not recognize iPhone?
When I connect my iPhone 3GS to me Dell Windows 7 laptop 'My Computer' does not recognise the phone at all whereas iTunes does. The system just opens an error window saying "Device Driver software was not successfully installed. Does anybody know a solution to this problem? Or of any other way to get my pictures off of my phone?
Also, when my partners 3GS is plugged in, he just recieves an error message saying USB Device could not be recognized, neither iTunes nor windows recognizes it.I found a webpage where a user reported the same issue as me.
He said he determined that "foreign pictures" -- meaning any pictures not taken using the iPhone's camera -- were the cause. Once he deleted the "foreign pictures" -- such as pictures obtained from receiving texts from others which included pictures that he saved onto the iPhone, then iTunes worked.
In my case, the fix was to upgrade the iPhone's OS from 5.1.1 to the latest version.
Now, both issues are solved:
Windows recognizes the iPhone as a storage device.
iTunes can see pictures that I've saved on the iPhone. -
Computer does not recognize iphone
I have the latest version of I tunes and Windows XP so should be able to activate my new iphone, however when I plug it into the USB drive nothing happens, the computer does not even acknowledge the phone. I know the USB drive is working becuase I just synced my ipod. Any ideas?
You must have iTunes v 7.5 for the iPhone. If you have not upgraded recently you should do that.
The iPhone also requires a new service, AppleMobileDeviceService. This is installed by the v 7.5 installer normally. You should verify that it is running in the Task Manager.
If it is not you can go to Control Panel/Administrative Tasks/Services. You should find it there (the entries are alphabetical), right click on it and select Start if it is not already running. If it fails to start your andivirus may be blocking it. -
Computer does not recognize iPhone 4s?
I got my iPhone 4s back in October, and it worked just fine when syncing with iTunes and all that. Recently however, like in the last 3 weeks or so, whenever I try to plug it into the computer, my computer won't recognize it. It dings like I've inserted a USB, but it doesn't show up in "My Computer" or iTunes, and does not charge. I have tried two different cords. I tried plugging it in on my dad's Macbook, and it was recognized immediately, so I don't think it is the phone. I followed all the steps listed on the Apple technical website, and nothing has worked. I've restarted my phone, reset my phone, updated iTunes and restarted my computer, but to no avail. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad W510 and am running Windows 7. It charges just fine when plugged into the wall using the same cord. Other USB's work fine when plugged into the computer. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!
You might need to uninstall iTunes and all its components as described in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US, then reinstall the latest version of iTunes. You must follow this article (installing all the components in the prescribed order) or it will not work. Note: uninstalling iTunes only removes the application. It won't touch your iTunes library or data.

My computer does not recognize ipod and ipod freezes computer
This is how it stated:
Today, I charged my ipod on another computer, like I always do, the itunes is to early (like 4.0) to even recognize my ipod, so on the computer it is only hard drive. So, I used the little green arrow icon in the right bottom corner of the screen, as in ejecting a jump drive.
My ipod is at the main menu. I decide to watch a television show until...all of a sudden, it freezes while it is playing. I press, play and pause again. Now the audio plays, but the screen is frozen. So I press the Menu+Center button and the ipod turns off and the Apple icon appears. Usually when i do this, the menu comes back on. But this time, the screen said somethinglike "You must connect your ipod to itunes and restore it..." in about 5 different languages.
I get home, plug it in to my computer, I try to pull up itunes, it does not come up until I disconnect my defected ipod. Everytime I plug my ipod in, the screen just shows the ipod charging in the gray, dark version--no green lighting battery, its all gray and black. And by the icon in the corner, the ipod does not have a low battery...
Can someone help me?Have you checked

Iphone 3gs in safe mode and computer does not recognize it and shows as "new hardware"
My iphone 3gs is in recovery mode. And when i plug it in to my computer it shows up as " found new hardware". Now i reinstalled itunes many times. trying different versions of itunes as well. I have tried many things and my computer just wont recognize it. using a diffrent computer is not an option. What can i do to my computer to try and get this thing to connect??
When you say you have reinstalled iTunes many times, have you followed the directions Apple gives for uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and all it's ancillary applications and processes?
Apple's documentation on the process can be found here:
Windows XP: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Windows Vista or 7: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Mac OS X: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224
I hope this helps. -

My grandson bought a ipod from a friend. We want to use our itunes music. It shows the old owners name and does not give us an
option to download any music.
Any help?
The previous owner cleaned out all the music, videos and pictures.
But not sure how to restore back to factory.Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Sorry to say that you cannot use an iPod Touch as an "external" drive, unlike the "Classic" etc. which I believe have this feature.
To transfer your library you will have to back it up to disc(s), a different type of HD or use a network to send the files over.
Good luck,
Dud.

Computer does not recognize iPhone 4s after 6.1 update
I updated my iphone 4s last night. Now when I connect my phone to my computer to came up as an unrecognizable device. iTunes doesn't show my phone either. I need to be able to have my phone show up can anyone tell me how to get this to work again PLEASE!?!?!?!
What is DFU mode? I tried another USB port and another computer and it didn't recognize it either. I didn't try another cable because if I use this cable and plug it into the wall it charges so the cable works. The phone doesn't even charge when plugged into the computer.

Computer Does not Recognize IPOD
I have tried everything I can think of and any help would be great.
Narrative: I have two 60GB IPod, two 4GB Nano. I purchased each of them approximately 6 months ago and all have worked very well out of the box. About two weeks ago (I believe I can time it to the date of the last update actually) the two 60GB stopped being able to communicate with the computer(acutally, within two days of each other - not both at the same time). One day it worked great - the next I came up with a "USB device not recognized" error. I tried as much of the 5 r's as possible (I uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, itunes, made sure I had up-to-date hardware drivers, etc.) The one thing that I could not do was a restore as the computer does not recognize the ipods there is no way to use the restore software. The two nanos consistently have had no issues (other than not being able to hold all the information I need to carry).
I've removed/uninstalled the USB ports and let them get rediscovered - no change
Updated motherboard BIOS driver - no change
uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, etc - no change
thought about really hurting the ipod - no change sigh
Dreamed of kicking the ipod into the air Pele style - no change
Details: 60GB Ipod, Dell Inspiron 6000, Windows XP SP2, Latest drivers (to the best of my knowledge). Cable is tested (still works on Nanos and I've tried all four cables that came with the four ipods to no effect). USB ports recognizes all other devices that are tested.
I can't think of anything specifically that I left out but any help you can think of would be great. I have read through most of the posts regarding this issue; however, most of the threads have devolved quickly. About the only fix I have seen that would work is "you should have never purchased a PC in the first place, get a Mac and it will work fine." This is, of coure, not an option.hiya!
hmmmmm. that model is a Dell notebook, isn't it?
if so, we'd better quickly check on this possibility:

My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine earlier, but when I went back a few hours later, the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. I thought it just needed to be charged but there seems to be a larger issue now. What should I do?
Let your ipod die. Then when it is dead charge it adn turn it back on. After that it should be fine.

My imac is not recognizing any external dvd writer drive. I have imac with Core i7 and Mac OS 10.6.8. I have tried external dvd writers from Samsung and Amazon Essentials but the computer does not recognize any of them. Which Dvd writer is compatible?
I have an external firewire burner; it never shows on the desktop unless I insert a CD or DVD - that icon will then show (if I have my preferences set to show those on the desktop). Hae you checked in Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities) to see if it is listed under drives?
