Computer won't detect phone driver now?

I have searched the forums with nothing working so far. Here is my issue,
When I use to connect my phone to my computer (Vista)it would show up as a storage device and I could open it and get pictures and video off it. Now for some reason it says computer can't install the driver. iTunes detects it fine. I have tried uninstalling/installing the USBAAPL.SYS driver several times with no luck. I called apple and they said the computer is not suppose to view the phone as a storage device/camera anyway. They told me as long as iTunes sees it its ok. But now how do you get pics and vids off phone ontp computer?

You said Itunes detects the phone, therefore you can sync, right?
as long as there is one picture or video on your iphone (camera roll) then it will appear as a mobile device (when you click on computer). Windows Vista will also ask you to import photos. Check that your camera roll contains something.
what is the exact error the computer gives? Does it happen when you connect the iphone or when running some applications?
Have you tried repairing Windows Vista installation?

Weird: Computer won't detect phone for sync

Weird.
When I plug in the cord to sync, absolutely nothing happens.
The cord and phone are okay. I can use the same cord and plug into an outlet and charge the phone.
The USB connection is okay. When I plugged in the mouse, it works.
I can't figure out where the problem is.

No.
As with your iTunes library, your iPhone's backup is stored separate from the iTunes application. The iTunes application does not store any data itself.
Even if your iPhone's backup was deleted which it won't be, iTunes would create another backup for your iPhone automatically as the first step during the iTunes sync process, or you can manually create a new backup anytime by control-clicking on your iPhone in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Back Up.

Computer Won't Detect iPhone5?

Hey,
I recently bought an iPhone5 and downloaded and installed iTunes etc. I installed all required updates.
Problem is, my computer won't detect the iPhone at all. I've tested my old phone and my computer picks that up just fine, but with the iPhone it doesn't find it at all. I'm not just referring to iTunes. It doesn't pick it up at all, as in it doesn't show underneath MyComputer or under Removable Devices.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Greenation

I would call Apple or take it and its cable to an Apple store. It could be a bad cable, even if it charges, because there are 8 wires in the cable and only 2 are involved in charging. If you plan to take it to a store make a Genius Bar appointment first at http://concierge.apple.com/reservation/us/en/

Computer Won't Recognize Hard Drive

I wanted to do a clean install of OS 10.5. Wiped hard drive using Tech Tool Pro 4. Now computer won't recognize hard drive during install. When it asks to what volume I want to install the OS, the screen is blank. This is a new one on me.
Anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

Boot to the Installer/Utilities DVD, but DO NOT Install.
Answer only the "what language" question if presented, and wait a quarter minute for the MenuBar to be drawn. Choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu or the Installer menu.
Use Disk Utility to Erase the drive again. Be sure you are getting Options GUID partition map.
Then use Disk Utility to partition the drive to one partition, Mac OS X Extended (Journaled).
Select the drive and choose Mount. It should not produce an error. Now you are good to go on the Install.

Computer won't detect camera

All of a sudden my computer won't detect my Rebel XT. I replaced the USB cord but nothing is even detected in "My Computer" or in the Device Manager. I am sure that the USB ports work properly as they work with other devices. I reinstalled the software it came with and tried changing the communication settings on the camera. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hello!

Computer won't detect iPod

Hi,
My computer won't detect my iPod when I plug it in. I open up iTunes and it won't show up in the list. It gets a picture of a sad ipod on it, and as it starts up it makes an odd clicking noise. I cannot get it into disk mode. I've tried all of the solutions at the apple support site and it simply won't work. I downloaded the iPod Updater software and I got it running but it couldn't detect my iPod for some reason. Ive switched the cable to different USB ports and my comp wont detect it. Also when I try and reset it, (after the clicking noise stops and it shuts off) there is an icon which looks like a battery with rough, jagged, or broken ends. What does this mean and what can I do?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!

Help! Computer won't detect mic unless webcam is plugged in...

Has this happened to anyone else? I have 2 different headsets and my computer won't detect the microphone on either on unless the webcam is plugged in. It doesn't seem to have any problem with the speakers, but I can't use the mic until I plug in the webcam. Please help! This is really annoying!!
Oh, and I'm using Windows Vista, and the Live! Cam Notebook Pro (VF0400) with the headset that came with it and another headset (not a Creative headset).
Message Edited by triciater on 11-28-2007 11:33 PM

hm... yes! you have same problem as me. I can't change to another mic till webcam is plugged. And this is due to the fact that the webcam has a built-in microphone inside.Moreover in my case, it must be another problem too, because the other person with who I talk hear sometimes a strong noise. I need to change microphone in the Skype options (I go to the Microsoft Microphone, even if it can hear nothing) and I go back on the mic of the cam. The noise disappear for some moments... after again and I do the same.Could someone help us?For me it would be nice to deactivate the mic of the cam and use an headset that doesn't give this noise problem.

My computer won't detect my iTouch!

I just bought a new iPod touch today and tried to set it up.
It won't connect to my computer.
Now I'm not sure where the problem is actually coming from.
So to register everything I use my brother's computer and it worked fine.
Now, I can't sync my iPod.
Everytime I plug it in, my computer just beeps, indicating that a software has been detected and it just beeps again undetecting itself.
So I thought maybe it's my computer's problem.
HOWEVER, when I plug my old iPod in, it syncs, detects, downloads with NO PROBLEM.
So I thought maybe it's the iPod that has something wrong with it.
I tried it on both my dad's and my brother's computer they had NO PROBLEM.
I'm currently using Windows Vista, With Service pack 2.
My iPod touch is the new one that came out with the camera on it.
Please help.

I FIGURED IT OUT.
It's working now.
Sorry for the triple post but I really am not sure how to edit my last post.
Other than that, I followed the instructions here
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
and tried to update my driver
However, it wouldn't work properly and they keep saying that it doesn't work with my 32-bit system.
So I browsed around some more and found this..
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2231186
The solution is here.
I followed the exact instruction and voila!
Everything is now working normally.
Thanks for everyone who tried to help

FIXED!!!
apple does not properly install drivers into C:\windows\system32...
so, you must unzip the itunes install.exe, extract apple mobile device support.msi
download a program lessMSIerables, this extracts files from .msi install files
extract everything from apple mobile device support.msi
NOW - use the above guide to update drivers, then instead of looking in the windows folder, simply tell the driver install to look in the folder where you extracted the .msi
everything solved
take a crack at it, its not as hard as it sounds
sorry if i wasnt very concise, a few glasses of wine and a blunt later:)

PowerMac G5 won't detect hard drives

This is an intermittent problem. I have a dual processor PowerMacG5 2GHz.
The computer won't boot up. Used disc utility to find out that no hard drive was detected. Thought hard drive was bad. Installed new hard drive. Installed Tiger. Rebooted. Computer won't boot, disc utility shows no hard drive.
Unplugged computer. Removed hard drive. Started disc utility from disk. Turned off machine. Unplugged. Installed hard drive.
Started up machine. Machine runs fine.
Now turned machine off and tried to restart again, now no hard drive detected again.
Redid unplugging and reinstallation of hard drives.
Now both hard drives works fine.
This problem can be repeated. I prefer not to ever turn off my machine again. Startup procedure with unplugging, reinstallation of hard drives is just a pain.
Anybody having a clue of what hard ware piece should be replaced?
Thank You

My original drive is a 160 GB Maxtor. This is the drive the machine couldn't start up with. The machine started with its sound, then the display just showed the ticking start up image. After a while the fans started to run very fast and then the machine shut down.
My new drive is a seagate BarracudaGreen 2TB. Both drives are SATA.
I have installed Tiger on the Seagate and is using the new drive as a start up drive.
I have seen the same identical problem with all different configurations. New or old drive, 1 or two drives don't seem to make a difference.
The machine runs great if it does start up.
Have any one of you guys seen if the problem goes away if I use an external firewire connected drive as a startup drive? I like this Mac machine and the programs I have on it and would like to be able to use it for a few more years.

Computer won't detect audigy

Greetings all:
I looked for a while in the forum, but did not find this question, so here goes:
I purchased an audigy 2zs platinum 0 months ago and had no problems until a month ago when I had to reformat and reinstall windows (one of my sata raid dri'ves died/fried). The windows install was on a new dri've, so there are no residual drivers from the previous install (to my knowledge - but I have tried to install it a few times now). Now windows xp home will not detect the audigy 2zs at all. It does detect the midi/game port on the card. I have also been able to use the firewire port on the card. It just won't detect the card, and I have had to revert to the onboard sound. It will only recognize the card as a "pci audi device" and not as a "audigy 2zs" like it did when I first bought it.
I like the zs, plus the front i/o bay is handy. Any thoughts on this problem? I have already tried a different pci slot with the same result. Is there a way to force the driver install? Is there a residual driver I am missing? Could the card be fried?
Here is my setup:
p4(478) 2.8 ghz, asus p4p800 dlx, ati aiw 9800 pro, audigy 2zs platinum, old-fashioned ide ata hd for now.
Thanks, Christopher

I think you may have misunderstood. If you do it that way and navigate to the windows CD then yes, it will install the windows driver. But i meant the Creative CD. If you install the basic CREATIVE card driver you should then be able to install all the other software. But the basic driver should sound no different than with the software except that the software allows you to EQ it and such.
Your problem as i understand is that windows DOES recognise there is a device there, but doesn't know where the driver is. So you need to manually navigate to the basic driver on the CD and once thats installed use the CD to install the software.
Also, i don't see why you can't just uninstall the unknown device in device manager, then without rebooting install from the creative CD as you normally would. In other words, the reason trying to install from the CD as normal isn't working right now is because of the unknown device in device manager. Some kind of conflict between that and windows knowing what to do with the CD install when you try that. So uninstalling the device first then doing a normal instal may also work.

Upgrading the Linksys Router's Firmware Question How do I upgrade the Linksys Router’s firmware?
Answer The new firmware adds numerous functions to the router. To setup a Linksys router with a DSL connection you need to perform four steps:
1. Downloading the Firmware
2. Upgrading the Router’s Firmware
3. Completing the Firmware Upgrade
4. Completing the Firmware Upgrade Process
Downloading the Firmware
Step 1:
Before downloading the firmware, make sure your computer has an active Internet connection. If your computer is plugged directly into the router and cannot get online, disconnect your router and plug your computer directly into your cable or DSL modem.
Step 2:
To go to the Linksys download page, click here and verify the model and version number of your Linksys product. For instructions, click the link How to find Model number.
Step 3:
After obtaining the model number of the Linksys router, enter the model number in the Enter Model Number field, then click GO.
Step 4:
Look for Locate Version Number and select the version of the Linksys product from the drop-down menu.
NOTE: In this example, we used WRT54G v.6. The Image may vary depending on the model number of the Linksys product.
Step 5:
After selecting the version, scroll down and look for Downloads For The WRT54G then click Firmware to get the latest firmware.
Step 6:
If you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Internet Explorer, you may see a “Pop-up blocked” message in your browser Information Bar. Click the bar and select Temporarily Allow Pop-ups and click Firmware again.
Step 7:
Click Save in the File Download dialog box that appears. Look for the Save As dialog box, choose a location for the file like the Desktop and click Save. When the download is complete, click Close, if prompted.
NOTE: The name of the file may vary depending on the firmware file of your router.
Step 8:
If the firmware file you have downloaded is on a zip format, double-click on the zip file and extract its contents to a single folder or to the Desktop.
NOTE: You will need to use a utility to open and extract files from the ZIP file archive. Popular software to use is WinZip®. To download WinZip®, visit http://www.winzip.com. You can also use the built-in unzipping features of Windows XP to unzip the contents from the archive.
Upgrading the Router’s Firmware
Step 1:
Access the router’s web-based setup page. For instructions, click here.
Step 2:
When the router’s web-based setup page appears, click Administration then Firmware Upgrade.
Step 3:
When the Upgrade Firmware opens, click Browse. Look for the .bin file which contains the files necessary to upgrade the router’s firmware.
NOTE: If the screen on your router’s web-based setup page looks different, click here.
Step 4:
Browse to the location where the firmware files were extracted and select the .bin file. When the file is selected, click Open.
Step 5:
Click .
Step 6:
When the upgrade is complete, the following message will appear.
Step 7:
Click .
Completing the Firmware Upgrade
Step 1:
Close Internet Explorer.
Step 2:
Reset the router. For instructions, click here.
Figure 1: Location of the Reset button of a Linksys BEFW11S4 router.
NOTE: If your router does not look like this, refer to the other images below:
Figure 2: Location of the Reset button of a Linksys WRT54GX router.
Figure 3: Location of the Reset button of a Linksys WRT54GC router.
NOTE: If the image of your router is different from the ones shown above, please consult your router documentation.
Completing the Firmware Upgrade Process
The firmware upgrade is now complete.
You can now use the router's Setup Wizard CD to configure your Internet service and set up your wireless connections.
