Windows vista does not recognize my mini

So I got a windows vista computer and tried to connect my mini but it comes up saying USB device not recognized. ANY help is appreciated

Hello,
I tried it but it goes wrong while setup, I get a message to connect the webcam and does not go on, setup is waiting and can not come forth.
I opened all the files in the setup with Winrar and tried through Windows and it did not work.
I know it's not your fault, it's very poorly by HP that does not have a driver for something that itself produces.
It would be simple to download drivers when needed.
Now I have an HP product that is not working because HP does not have drivers for all their products.
A big fiasco from HP!
I say again, it's not your fault.

Why window 8 does not recognize ipod touch model A1367 4th generation? and of course iTunes either.

See:

(it applies to win 8)

Vista does not recognize my iPhone / Not charging

Two problems:
1. Extemely slow charging:
- I've had my iPhone plugged in to the wall all night. The battery meter only shows 20% power.
- When charging from my computer or the mains, the charge icon does not appear.
- I've tried charging off my laptop, desktop and the mains.
- I've tried using the cradle and just the usb cable by itself.
2. Widows does not recognize my iPhone:
- I have Vista 32bit
- I have tried multiple USB ports, all of which work with other devices
- I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes about 10 times now
- I have restarted iPhone and my PC many times now
When I start the machine, this is the sequence of events:
1. I get a message saying:
"Windows needs to install driver software for you Unknown Device"
2. I get a message saying:
"Installing device driver software"
3. I get a message saying:
"Windows couldn't find driver software for your device"
- I click on "check for a solution"
4. Then it tells me:
"Windows Vista does not support midiport device"
PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I GO COMPLETELY CRAZY!!!

The failure to charge sounds like a defective cable. Check this first.
If you are running 64 bit Vista it will not work with the iPhone.
If you are running 32 bit Vista make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (7.5). The reboot the phone - hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears (about 8 seconds).
Here's a tech note on resolving this type of problem:

Windows Vista does not see my Ipad but it always did prior to this attempt

Windows Vista does not see my Ipad, this is a new problem and I have not made any major changes to either my computer or to my Ipad. I am running Vista 64 as an operating system. I get the message that windows has an unrecognized USB device. I checked to see if the Apple Mobility software is running and it was, I reset it, turned off the computer, soft reset the Ipad but still no luck.

Hi,
Can you try a different USB port?

Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) Windows Vista does not see DVD-ram UJ-850s

Hi
I have a Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) with windows Vista. Windows Vista doesn't recognize the DVD-ram any more. The BIOS recognize the DVD-ram. I did try to download the DVD-ram drivers but they are not on the side of Toshiba.
Who can help me to get the right driver or know more? From the problems with the Mat****a DVD-ram uj-850s ATA device and windows Vista.

Hi
The CD/DVD drive does not need special drivers!!!
The Vista includes a Microsoft driver which works with all ODDs (CD/DVD drives)
Simply said, the Vista should recognize the drive without any problems.
Some questions; did you get any error messages? What is the device manager status? Do you see any yellow exclamation marks?
There is an old way to fix a similar drive issue. It worked under XP so try it on Vista OS.
Its necessary to update the registry entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
1. Click on the start menu.
2. If this is a Vista machine in the search box type in regedit without the quotation marks.
3. search the registry key mentioned above.
4. In the right panel youll see something along the lines of UpperFilter and LowerFilter you want to click on each filter key and hit delete. Click yes when it asks to confirm if you wish to delete the key.
5. Restart Windows.
6. Let me know if this works.

Windows 7 does not recognize my iphone

My iPhone 4 is not recognized by my Windows 7 laptop. iTunes on this PC recognizes it okay, but Windows 7 does not see it as a camera. On my old WinXP machine, it is recognized with no problem.

Did you check the camera notification?
Maybe you'll need to enable it again and reverse the process described in this article:

My PC does not recognize ipad mini as a drive

When I connect my ipad mini to my PC with the provided USB, my PC does not recognize my ipad mini as a hard drive. Under devices on my PC the ipad mini is identified as "Apple Mobile Device". The driver on my PC is "Apple mobile device USB driver". It states that it is working properly and there are no updates for the driver. How can I have my PC recognize the ipad mini as a hard drive?

You can't. It cannot be used as a disk drive. It is accessible through iTunes, only.

Windows 7 does not recognize device

I have been successfully connecting my 8330 to a desktop PC running XP for quite a while. The device sw is v4.5.0.175. I recently got a new Lenovo T410 laptop, running Windows 7. I have downloaded the DM software (v5.0.1) and verified that my device SW is up-to-date, but the laptop is still not recognizing that the device is connected (via USB). I've tried it in all the USB ports on the laptop, and also followed all the steps detailed in KB13146, with no luck. I can't find anything in any of the forums that reference Windows 7. Can anyone provide help to resolve this problem?

Also, check that you are using only root USB ports...no hubs (sometimes the front-side ports are hubs...use a rear USB port). And make sure to try disabling USB power management in your system configuration (Device Manager).
Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these. I can attest that DTM does indeed recognize a BB under Win7...mine is exactly so.
Hopefully something there is helpful!
