Can't get my computer to recognize the iPhone.

When connecting the iPhone to the USB cable, the USB port recognizes the iPhone as a digital camera. This just started happening out of the blue. I have no idea what would cause this. Has anyone experienced this? Anyway, after being connected for a few more seconds, the BLUE screen of death appears with some memory address fatal error. As an FYI, I also have a iPod, and it connects without any issues.

After confirming that the iPhone is in fact recognized as a Digital Camera on a PC, the sales rep at the Apple Store and I started to brainstorm the possible causes of the system crash. He said, while it is a digital camera to the USB port, the iTunes application will still load the device and sync. Unfortunately, I was not able to get that far due to that Blue Screen of Death. So, I asked myself what has changed in the past few days. Low and behold. What has changed is that I actually started taking pictures using the iPhone. As a result, there were photos on the camera roll. So I loaded the pictures on my laptop..which did not have a problem loading the iPhone, then DELETE the pictures on the camera roll.
So after loading iTunes, then connecting the iPhone on my PC, I heard the infamous beep from the past two days. Then NOTHING for about 4 seconds, which was a good sign. Then there it was...my iPhone syncing on iTunes. It was a beautiful site. While this still doesn't solve my problem, I was happy to have been able to sync with my iTunes library. In the meantime, I'll offload my pics from the camera roll onto my laptop. Thank you all that replied.

How can I get my computer to recognize the canon eos digital rebel

I have not used this camera for more than 2 years. I now have a laptop with windows 7. This computer will not recognize this camera when I plug it in to usb to download pictures. I have tried everything except what is going to work.

Do you happen to have the original discs? Or, was EOS utility previously installed on that computer? If not, you need to do a bit of shinanigans to get around Canon's protection (which I still don't understand, either you own a Canon, or the software is no use to you). It's not hard, but you have to rewrite a registry file to make the software think it was previously loaded on your computer.
Go here (providing you're in the US) to download EOS utility:

It's an "updater". So again, you need to have had a previous version on your computer or it won't install. Once it installs all you do is plug in your camera and turn it on and a window pops up offering a couple different options like File Transfer or Tethered Shooting.

How can i get my computer to recognize the recovery partition

Computer says that there is no accessable data in the partitian. Or it cannot find it.
So not able to restore any of the original function to my laptop

Hi,
If you created your set of Recovery Discs ( or a Recovery USB drive ), use this to reinstall the operating system as the process will also re-create the Recovery Partition.
If you haven't created your Recovery Discs/Media, you can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below.
Order HP Recovery Discs.
If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

Can't get my computer to recognize my iPhone

When I plug in my iPhone to the USB port I get the following message:
One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it. I can't seem to get this phone to be recognized on the computer. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

I had something similar happen to me. My laptop was having a difficult time reading the devices that were connected to a USB hub I was using. I think the USB cable that ran from the hub to the USB connection on my laptop had a bad connection somewhere. When I replaced the cable, the problem went away.

Can I get my computer to recognize my iPod w/out losing music???

An iPod (60GB) given to me by a friend, with about 500 songs on it, will not be recognized by my laptop (I get the iPod Updated launched and the only option it gives me is to reformat). I use another iPod (mini) on this laptop too. How can I get my computer to recognize it, or is it possible, without reformatting and losing all of the music already on it? I don't have any of the paperwork / drivers / cds that came with it, but it is still under warranty (88 days left). Please help!!! Is there a way to get the music saved off of it before I reformat it?

My computer restarted while my shuffle was installing and now I can't get my computer to register the connection. What do I do?

My computer restarted while it was installing the shuffle for the first time. Now I cannot get my computer to register the connection and I cannot put music on my shuffle. How can I get my computer to install the driver again and start using my shuffle?

Hey jessandmatt17,
If you cannot get your iPod Shuffle to show up in iTunes, check out the following articles depending if it shows up on your computer within Windows Explorer. With the iPod Shuffle plugged in check in Windows Explorer to see if it shows up as a removable device. They both will help no matter how the iPod Shuffle shows up.

Can you get your photos back after the iphone does a restore

Can you get your photos back after the iphone does a restore?

Actually, wrong.
The tech support people can help with Playbook purchased apps. If you've called and they said they cannot, you were lied to.
Even in the link you posted, in #10, it states clearly "App Refund related matters are handled by BlackBerry Customer Care." That, my friend is accessed by the support number. Again, if you were told otherwise, you should inform them of such or ask for a manage/supervisor.
And, you don't have a "Partner ID" because you are not a "Partner". The section you're referring to applies to mobile providers, which are the Partners.
Good luck.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Please help the aged - Can't get my computer to recognise the Zen!

Hi there , I really hope someone can help me.
I bought my Pa a Zen Vplus 4 GB 2 years ago and he still cannot get it to work!
I li've overseas so on my few trips back I try desperatley to get it going and still failing.
I have checked the posts on here and can confirm they are on a Windows XP and a service package 3
I have uninstalled and then reinstalled all the software - however the computer rejects Windows media player as incompatible?
So when everything is loaded (apart from above) I then plug the Zen in and I get a pop up saying One of the USB devices atached to this computer has faiiled and windows does not recognise it.
When I go into the Creative page where you download it also says the Zen is not connected.
It charges when in the port - and the device manager says the device is working?
Please can anyone help - but please remember that I am not that computer literate and I will need to explain this all down the phone to my mum who is in her 70s so any long and clear?explanations would be grateful!!!!!!

I?don't know if I can help, but as I am 70 myself at least I understand that your mother may have a problem. Now I do not use my ZEN with the Windows Media Player but use the Windows Explorer or the Creative ZEN Manager from the installation CD for putting new items onto my ZEN. I am sure that you installed the programs from the installation CD first on the computer before plugging in the ZEN, if not try to uninstall everything and start from scratch again.
Also I found that some of the USB ports do not like all devices to be connected to them, so you may have to find another USB port that likes the ZEN, but apparently you have already found a port that recognizes the ZEN. So your parents might be ale to put music or other mp3 files onto their ZEN by simply dragging them onto the ZEN. For lthis they should open the device manager and double click on Music and then using the mouse click on the items they wish to put on the ZEN and then drag and drop them or use the Copy facility and copy them to the Music file of the ZEN.
Should your parents still have difficulty, please drop me a message to my private postbox.
