Can't update driver HP Envy 4502-e

Hello, I don't understand how to update my HP Envy 4502-e drivers (all-in-one printer). I am on windows 7. Device manager shows my driver for the printer as version 30.0.1044.40289, driver date 16/12/2012.You're website shows a more recent driver 32.3, driver date jul 30 2014. If I download the driver and try to install, it blinks from step 1 "Prepare", then stays on Step 2 "connect". If I click continue the only options are 'connect a new printer' or 'reconfigure wireless settings' (and also an option to add software if I download the 'full software and drivers'  file, but the software options are just things like HP Photosmart and not a driver install). I've tried downloading both the basic driver installation and the 'full software and drivers' file, but there's no driver update from the installation. Device manager still shows the 2012 verion 30.0.1044.40289. If I try to update through device manager it says it's up-to-date. HP Update also doesn't show any driver updates. Can you explain what is going on, and how to update your drivers? Do I have to uninstall the old driver or something before I can update? Thanks

Hi Marin456, Sometime it's best to completely uninstall the drivers and start fresh.    Check out this forum posting/link on how-to completely uninstall/reinstall your software drivers.  Good Luck!

  • Zen Micro firmware CIRCLE -Can't update firmware w/out driver, can't update driver w/out firmwa

    Hi,
    I know lots of peopl are having the same problem. I have a Zen Micro 5Gb. I have previously updated the firmware to the plays for sure (about 2 years ago) and it's been fine.
    The device had had the hard dri've replaced after it failed, and I need to reload the firmware. I have all the files, I've read all the FAQ and support I used last time (I keep everything) and my notes from 2 years ago say it was easy.
    However. Not now. I figure WMP caused a lot of problems. Right - got that out the way. Fresh installs of XP SP2 is the way to go.
    I have also followed the instructions here:
    http://http://forums.creative.com/showthread.php?t=3478
    But, I keep going round in circles. Can't update firmware without driver, can't update driver without firmware.
    Any driver install I try asks me to connect the device to complete the installation, but, it won't recognise the device because there is no firmware. I try to upload the firmware, and it says there is no device (because there is no driver).
    I have tried multiple machines, with SP2 installed and only WMP9 (never had WMP0).
    I have tried USB , 2, hubs, front ports back ports, again on multiple machines.
    I've even used an XP install on VMware on a MAC (This was the closest to success).
    On the Mac, The player was recognised even in its flash problem state and I could actually start the firmware update. However, it failed to complete successfully.
    Has anyone actually managed to do a firmware update on n old Zen using a 2008 PC? Please help!

    If your player had PlaysForSure firmware, you'll need to download a PlaysForSure firmware version. That should resolve your issues since PlaysForSure does not use a Creative driver but rather a nati've Windows driver. But you will need to have WMP0 installed, WMP9 does not support PlaysForSure.

  • Windows 8.1 and AMD Catalyst updated driver- HP Envy 17t-3200

    I've updated my HP Envy 17t-3200 to Windows 8.1Pro. Ran into a some issues but I was able to find a fix (ie. brightness-dimming button fix). Now I just found out my steam game, NBA 2K14 won't work using switchable graphics  I was using windows 8 with nba2k14 with switchable graphics and set to high performance and the game played smoothly but after I installed windows 8.1 now my NBA2k14 still plays but in low graphics (power saving) and if I set switcable graphics to high performance I only get a black screen with audio gameplay in the background. Need help! I downloaded the latest drivers in the HP support website, Released:2012-10-18 File name: SP58812.exe [1/1, 298.3M] Version8.982.6.0 Compatibility:Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit) I'm hoping an updated driver comes out soon for Windows 8.1. Is there a fix out there besides waitiing for the updated driver? All my other games work flawlessly though.

    i have the same problem before in windows 8 running smoothly but now i upgraded to windows 8.1 pro when i use switchable graphic the screen goes black only sounds please help 

  • G580 Can't Update Driver - "Access Denied"

    I'm trying to update my drivers which was successful apart from the one for the Synaptics touchpad.  It starts to install but eventually aborts saying 'Access Denied' to a file called Thumbs...
    My touchpad works fine but I thought it was always best to update the drivers? I was hoping the new driver would include a few more options for the touchpad as my old Acer laptop had a synaptics touchpad but with many more options to configure.   I'm using the official driver from this site and I've double checked I've downloaded the right one for Windows 7. I'm already logged on as administrator and I've tried opening the setup file as an administrator but nothing works.  
    Does anyone know what the problem could be?  Is it even worth updating this particular driver, the one on my system dates back to April 2011.
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

    guess that your account was in Local Admin group...?
    This is because all accounts in local Administrators group are working as standard accounts. When an Administrator action need to be performed, a prompt will occurs for permission to promote to admin permission. As only Administartors
    group has permission on a folder and the account we are using is working like a standard account, we will be denied from accessing.
    run all accounts in Administartors group in Admin mode...http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd835564(WS.10).aspx can

  • HP Envy 4502 - "Driver is unavailable"

    I have the HP Envy 4502. Yesterday when I tried to print it kept saying printer offline. I couldn't get anything to work. I uninstalled it and tried to re-install and it will still not work. It lets me download the HP 4500 series driver software (there is no HP Envy 4502 specific I guess?) and when it is downloading it will not install over wireless. My wireless is working perfectly fine, I have restarted my computer, restarted my modem, restarted my wireless router and it even tells me that my printer is connected and ready to print and ePrint. I can only complete the installation by plugging it in through USB. When I go try to add the device, it adds the printer but then tells me "Driver is unavilable." The only option then in my settings is to remove the device. It made me download the hp AiO Remote app and that tells me I am connected to the printer but it isn't installed.
    WHY can't I install it when it worked for months before? Someone please help. Thank you.

    Setting up new printer HP envy 4502 all in one.  It is locked on "wi fi" hookup on front panel and will not come off of that setting, loading software and drive to hook up on USB is unsuccessful saying the drive did not load.  Tried drivers off the enclosed disc and also tried it off of the internet site, in both cases it is unsuccessful loading driviers.  Utilized three different USB cables and check devices and the printer does appear to be loading under "printers" but is not functional.  All 14 USB ports lare indicated to be working properly yet we did try different USB ports with no success

  • Hp 700-214 Can't update video driver

    I have an HP 700-214 with a Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 card. I can't update the video driver through Intel (It tell me there's a custom driver installed by the manufacturer) and when I try to update it through HP, it gives me an error 9996 "Your computer does not meet the minimum system requirements."
    I'd rather uninstall HP's factory driver and get one that is going to be updated regularly but how do I do that? And if that's no pheasible, how do I update the darn thing?
    It's refusing to run some pretty rudimentary programs and the ones that it does run are choppy.

  • Can I upgrade my HP ENVY 14 DR DRE Laptop to a blueray and SSD drive?

    HI all,
    Can I upgrade my HP ENVY 14 DR DRE Laptop to a blue ray and SSD drive?
    cheers

    You can upgrade from HDD to SSD drive, but will not recommend it as it will void the warranty on the unit.
    Pertaining to  bluray drive, you might have some compatibility issues unless you find the right model.

    Ok, I found in the Net the drive 7uw706ww.zip, which is Version 6.1.4.2, while the updated version is 6.1.10.5 (7UW708WW).
    I tried again the GPS, and it wasn't working.
    Anyway, before downgrading, I tried to reinstall the new driver, downloading and installing the .exe instead going through System Update.
    Result: now GPS is working (same place, same conditions, just 5 minutes later)!
    Don't know where the difference is...

  • I moved my itunes library to an external hard drive and now I can not update my phone and my apps aren't showing in the sidebar of my library. How can I fix this?

    I moved my whole library onto an external hard drive but now when I plug my phone in, it can't back up, it can't update and my apps stopped showing up on the side. It still charges and syncs but I can't update the software. I use a PC. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Ok. progress...
    So is your media folder called iTunes Music or iTunes Media? And does it have a folder called Music inside it?
    Before going any further you should first attempt to use File > Library > Organize Library > Rearrange files in the folder "<Media Folder>" (ignore if grayed out). This will make sure that any iPod Games or Mobile Applications get placed inside the iTunes Media folder which is needed for portability.
    If your iTunes Media folder is called iTunes Music, close iTunes, rename the folder as iTunes Media and start iTunes again. iTunes will automatically adjust. Close iTunes again.
    On your external drive rearrange the folders that you have already copied there so that they match the layout in your active library. You should end up with a folder called X:\iTunes where X: is the external drive letter, and the media folder is X:\iTunes\iTunes Media. If the library layout was upgraded then you will need to create a Music folder inside this and move all the artist folders and Compilations into Music. You will also need to copy iPod Games and Mobile Applications from your internal drive into the new media folder. Next copy the files iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel and the folder Album Artwork from the internal drive into X:\iTunes. The preceding manipulations should make the internal and external copies of your library match without you having to copy all of the media over again.
    Now hold shift as you start iTunes. Click choose, browse to and open X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl.
    Finally use File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate files. This will ensure that any stray files that might have been added from outside your original media folder will be copied into the new one.
    You can now reclaim the space used by your library on the internal drive, however before you do so I would advise you to obtain another external drive and make use of this backup tip.

    I've installed bootcamp 4.0 on my iMac 27. Everything works superb, but for playing need for speed run or battlefield 3 I need catalyst driver 11.7 or higher. How can I update my graphics? Is there a possibility except waiting for a new bootcamp version?

    But how do you install the drivers if Bootcamp is running interference?
    Bottom line, I'ev tried to install three different versions of updated ATI driver sover the last few momnths and on each and every occassion have ended up with the original Bootcamp driver. A number of current games are unplayable on a Mac running Bootcamp as a result.
    And if I can't run the software I want, then Bootcamp is as useless as boobs on a bull.

    Can I update to ML without Backing up my hard drive will it erase?

    You should always have a backup.  And especially immediately before any major (10.6 or 107 to 10.8) upgrade.
    Things can always go wrong.
    But upgrdes only replace system files, so your "pure data" should be fine.

    Relocate iOS device backups
    Assuming you're running Windows Vista or later you can use the following steps:
    Open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up.
    To move the current backup folder from C: to D: type in this command (on one line) and press <Enter>
    Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    Where <User> is your Windows user name.
    To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command (on one line) and press <Enter>
    MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    If your target drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.
    In some cases (perhaps depending on what builds of iTunes were installed in the past) it seems the folder is in the \Local\ branch of AppData rather than \Roaming\ in which case edit to suit.
    If you're still running Windows XP you can use Junction (cmd line tool) or NTFSLink (shell ext). In both cases you move the existing folder to a new location, create an empty folder where the old one used to be, then use the tools to get the operating system to link the two together and silently redirect any file operation on the old location through to the new one.
    Note that while this method works for iOS device backups it cannot be used to redirect sections of the media library.
    If your iTunes library is on the C:\ drive with the media folder held elsewhere then see also make a split library portable.

  • How can i update the itunes in my external hard drive?

    When i try to update the itunes on my external hard drive, it creates a new application in my computers hard drive. How can i update the one on my external hard drive?

    there's no advantage to having the application on your external drive, you should leave it in your applications folder on your internal drive. if you insist on changing the app's location, you'll always have to then copy the app by hand to the external drive
