Computer with Vista not recognizin​g my Pearl 8100 through USB

Hi my computer will not recognize my Pearl 8100 through USB connection and my computer is a little older so it doesn't have Bluetooth to try that. I've read some of the info from others having similar problems and I have checked my cable which is fine and have tried using a USB slot on the back of my computer rather than a USB hub to no avail. Any other ideas?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Here is the list of troubleshooting KB's...hopefully something will be useful:

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.
Hopefully something there is helpful!

    I have a toshiba lap top computer with vista and I can not get my new iphone to connect all the way .... it says "connected with limited activity". which means I don't get on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.  

    Hi all,
    Guess I understand what is going on as I'm also experiencing the problem.
    Basically the issue is about the iPhone 4's personal hotspot.
    I'm trying to hook on personal hotspot to my toshiba laptop but it couldnt work as the connection is limited to local only without Internet access.
    The hotspot works well on other laptop and I-devices, but not my toshiba...
    Hope to get assistance here. Thanks

  • Computer with Vista doesn't recognize my iPod Nano

    When I plug in my iPod to the USB on my computer with Vista, nothing happens. My iPod doesn't show up. I have tried resetting my iPod and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of iTunes. I have also tried plugging it into another USB on my computer.

    thanks for replying! im assuming you mean these...
    1. Reset your iPod, iPod nano, iPod mini, or iPod shuffle.
    2. Retry your iPod with a different USB or FireWire port on your computer (please note that the latest iPods can only be synced through USB).
    3. Restart your computer, and make sure that you have the latest software updates installed.
    4. Reinstall your iPod and iTunes software. You can download the latest versions of iPod Updater and iTunes from our website.
    5. Restore your iPod using the latest iPod Updater. Important: Please note that restoring an iPod will erase all songs and files on your iPod and restore it back to its original settings. Make a backup of any files on your iPod before restoring it. After restoring, you can transfer your music and files from your computer back to your iPod again.
    I did reset my iPod, tried restarting the computer, and reinstalled iPod on here AND updated iTunes to the latest version. I only have one USB port on this laptop, so its possible it isn't high-powered (is that the right term?) enough for iPod? This computer is pretty old. So aside from that the last option in your suggestion is the Restore. I just don't understand how that can be the only option just because I got a new computer. If so I wish I had known that before using iTunes to buy my music

  • I just got a new computer with Vista on it. When I hook m...

    I just got a new computer with Vista on it. When I hook my WRT54G router to it, I am unable to send e-mails. They get stuck in my OUTBOX and I get a timeout error. I can receive e-mails but cannot send them. Also, my internet can drag at times when the router is connected. When I remove the router, everything works fine.
    I've contacted Tech support several times and every suggestion they give doesn't solve the problem. I've updated firmware, changed all sorts of settings in the router setup page, including adjusting my Port Range Forward settings (at the instruction of tech support)
    I'm wondering if it's just a Vista thing and I should buy a newer router. I don't know what else to do.
    Any suggestions?
    Patrick

    Well if you can send emails, when you connect computer to modem directly, then it might be ports forwarding issue. Update firmware of router to latest version and assign a static ip on computer like 192.168.1.11, and obtain ports used by outgoing mail server, and forward those ports to static IP assigned, on router's setup.

  • Bought Computer with Vista and received a free Windows 7 upgrade - can I download Windows 7?

    I purchased my computer with Windows Vista and was able to get a free upgrade of Windows 7.  I've scanned my computer for viruses on Microsoft and they find no viruses.  My anti-virus program has scanned the computer and has found nothing. 
    Yesterday I was trying to install a program and that's when my anti-virus program told me there was a threat.  It removed it  and I kept on with the installation.  After that my Internet Explorer doesn't work and when I go to "Uninstall
    Programs" it only shows that I have just Microsoft programs, everything under "M" and nothing else.  I've tried to restore my computer and every time after a restore it gives me an error code 0x80070005.  I've turned off anti-virus
    and restored and have even restored in Safe Mode but still get the same error message.  Does anyone know what I can do to get this straightened out??

    Hi,
    What is the anti-virus program you have on your computer? Please take a try to uninstall the 3rd party anti-virus program and then perform the system restore under
    system recovery options.
    Some 3rd-party anti-virus program might not be incompatible with Windows processes.
    Here is a similar threads for reference:
    error code 0X80070005

  • New computer with vista, old computer with xp

    My old computer has xp and LV8.
    I just bought a new one with Vista.
    I have several applications that I programmed and I am wondering if they will work in vista.
    Any suggestions about partitioning and installing xp and sticking with it. Or what would I need to get applications built with 8.0 to work on a vista computer.
    Jim

    The first version of LabVIEW that is officially supported under Vista is 8.2.1. You may not have any problems with 8.0 but you will have to install all new drivers for any hardware you might be using (DAQmx, NI-VISA, etc.).

  • How do I move all my settings from my old computer with Vista to a New one with Windows 7 ? I'm using V. 14.0.1 on both Systems

    Hello All,
    How do I move all my Settings & Bookmarks from my 5 year old Computer running Vista and Firefox V. 14.0.1 , to my New Computer with Windows 7 and also Firefox 14.0.1 ?
    Thank you very much.

    You can copy your Firefox profile from one computer to the other and continue working with almost no changes :)
    [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    A really easy way to do this is the following:
    #Click the Start button, type %APPDATA% into the search bar, press Enter (on your old PC)
    #Right click on the Mozilla folder, copy to a thumb drive (or something you can use to transfer it to your new PC)
    #Go to %APPDATA% the same way on your new computer
    #If the Mozilla folder already exists, I'd either delete it or rename it
    #Paste the Mozilla folder into the same place on your new PC
    #then upgrade to Firefox 15
    You can also use Firefox Sync. [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]]

  • Cannot connect a new computer with vista

    Hi !
    I have the wireless router WRT54G and I am currently using a computer with Windows 2000 to connect to the router. The router works perfectly with this computer. However, I bought a new sony computer with windows vista. This new computer recognizes the router and is connected to it. However, when I open the explorer and cannot go to any web page. Can anybody help me out with this? Thanks!
    Matias

    ohhh..too complicated... you dont need to customize the settings if its already connected to the network.
    >>If its already connected, make sure its getting an ip address coming from the router with a valid dns servers.
    >>Try to ping router's default gateway and check if its communicating with it.
    >>ping a website *(ex. ping yahoo.com)*. check if its getting replies.
    Its just a simple and basic networking procedure.

  • Palm Treo 755p -- bought new computer with Vista and downloaded Download Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2 -- now the sync does not work, asks for drivers

    Hello...
    I am new to the Palm (~1mo.) but I was using hotsync with my old laptop which had Windows XP and was not experiencing any real problems.  That computer is going bye-bye, I bought an HP with the Vista OS and I followed the directions on downloading the Download Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2 from the website but now I can not get my device to sync-- The Desktop computer asks for the appropriate drivers.  I tried searching online, on the disk that came with the smartphone and even reinstalling a couple times and everything is dead in the water...
    Anyone able to help me out on this?
    Is there an additional patch of some sort to download?
    Post relates to: Palm m515

    Just in case it is not clear...  that post was made after I bought the bluetooth adapter and tried following the advice provided in the Vista 64 Hotsync solution found! post.  Again-- my statement of not working is for the following reasons:
    1) my PC tells me that the sychronization completed with errors.
    2) when I look at the log that the Backup sychronization aborted.
    3) It almost invariably tells me that it Failed to backup 1 file(s) and that file is "NetworkProfiles2" through a "Protocol Error: Unknown error. (6410)"
    4) many of my contacts (over half) duplicate during this synchronization.
    5) many of my appointments (over half) duplicate during this synchronization.
    The information about creating a virtual serial port on my PC comes from my actual palm itself.  The palm info is in the HotSynch verbage and it tells me to contact my computer manufacturer.  In doing so however they have no idea how to do this and Palm does not either.  I am still working with HP on trying to resolve that part of it but I am thinking from the hours of research that Palm wants me to create another COM port but again the help I am finding on this is beyond my pay grade so to speak...  you can check out the following link and try to help me if you like:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms885792.aspx
    So... any ideas my friend?  It appears that some Vista 64-bit users are having success with a bluetooth synch but I have tried emailing those that claim to have been able to do this with no luck.  I am not having any luck (I hope my outline above is clearer)-- and no one has seemed to had any luck recently.
    I would love to make this work-- I bought this phone for this functionality.

    Post relates to: Centro (Unlocked GSM)

    Hello kd302 and welcome to the Palm forums.
     I don't use Windows Media Player, but I was under the impression that to use WMP 11, you needed to upgrade Pocket Tunes on the Centro.
     The NormSoft knowledge base can be found here.
     I would use the check for updates feature in pTunes on your Treo to see if there is an update available for your install of pTunes 4.x.  To do this, open pTunes, and select Menu > Help > Check for Updates...
     I'm running version 4.0.7 on my Treo 755p and I know that version 5.0 has been relesed for Palm OS devices.

  • New Computer with VISTA 64 bit won't work with Palm OS on TX - no bluetooth

    I bought a new computer without researching the 64-bit vs 32 bit Vista versions and didn't discover until I had it up and running that I can't install the Palm Desktop on it.  My TX is only a couple of months old. I don't want to replace it and can't get a bluetooth adapter right now, budgetwise. What I want to know is: 1. Is ther some other work around than the clunky bluetooth one? and 2. Is Palm working on a 64-bit compatible version?

    ebullister:
    Before firing off an embarrassing rant, how about searching this forum for an answer first?
    You are asking about Palm Desktop, and the ability to perform a HotSync. You have replied to a post that is over three years old. We have a section of the Forum devoted to Windows HotSync named as such.
    In this section, you will find a post entitled "64bit Palm Desktop drivers are here". USB drivers have been around since April of 2011. Please read through this post since it provides an answer to your issue.
    Palm Inc. sold the rights to Palm Desktop many years ago to PalmSource, who then sold it to a Japanese company named Access. They were the company who you so eloquently described as the one to "screw users".
    BTW, Palm Inc. ceased to exist some time ago since being purchased by HP. Posting a complaint against a company that exists only in memory seems a bit pointless, no?
    Hopefully my reply can bring you up to speed, and enable you to sync your device.

    Windows Vista Home is not a supported platform. In this specific case it means you can install it and it will partially work. You will have your database up and running, but the Enterprise Manager will behave funny, and it will show several errors when you attempt to launch tasks such as backup, exp/imp, sqlldr, and all other tasks that require connection to the OS (tasks which require the connect as batch privilege). So you may get fun for a while, but if you are thinking about exploiting more EM features, then I suggest you to install a Virtual Machine and install either a supported windows on it or install Oracle Enterprise Linux and install the Oracle 10gR2 for linux.

  • Import iTunes Library from External Drive to New Computer with Vista

    I can't seem to "import" my entire iTunes library from my external hard drive to my new computer. However, I can import songs one-by-one. There must be a way to transfer the whole file at once but it is beyond me. Anyone have a solution?

    Hi I am new and have found a way to import Files & Folders over my home network and or other drives.
    Start in File, click "Add File to Library", or "Add Folder to Library". In the “look in” dropdown window, locate the File or folder and double click on it. It should begin to transfer. I have never transferred an enter library though.
    On a personal note,
    I have come to realize that I can only transfer iTunes music. I can not transfer or even find the music that I have installed from a CD into my iTunes library. iTunes dose recognize even the folder that such music is in. If any of you have an answer to this problem let me know.
    Thanks
