Statellite M100 won't recognise any USB storage devices or SD card

I've been having problems with my Toshiba M100 Satellite series notebook not reading Sandisk SD card from my son's camera - it's a 2GB card and from what i've read online maybe that's the problem BUT the notebook is also not reading any of my USB 'stick' devices. When i insert the SD card or a USB 'stick' it asks me to instal driver software which is just stupid. I've tried connecting the camera via a usb cable too and it won't recognise the device and, again, asks for device driver software.
I've looked on the toshiba website and have installed all updates that i thought might be appropriate, i'm also in the process of running Windows update (do this at least every 2nd week anyway so it shouldn't be a problem). I'm running Vista Home Edition (32bit). The USB ports have definately worked in the past, I really don't want to resort to running recovery discs if i don't have too as i don't want to lose all the stuff i have stored.
The SD Card/USB issue seems to be a common one but i can't find a specific fix on this or any other tech site, any suggestions?
Cheers

In your case I would do two things.
First: Check if a new BIOS is available. Look on the Toshiba website and make an update.
Second: Reinstall the laptop with the recovery disks. I know that you will lose all data, but you can save it on DVDs or external HDD.

My computer won't recognise my iPod Classic, even in disk mode?

I have a 160GB 6th generation iPod classic and my itunes won't recognise it. When I plug it into my laptop the laptop makes the noise as to say it has a new device connected, but it won't show up in my windows explorer or in my itunes. I have googled it and seen that I can put it into disk mode to try and fix it but when I do that the screen says OK to disconnect, and doesn't change even when I plug it into my computer. The laptop still doesn't recognise it then. I have tried different leads and the computer makes the 'recognises new device' noise with both, but it still doesn't work. The ipod doesn't say it is connected, the charging icon doesn't even come up on the battery on the screen of the ipod but I have left it plugged in and it is charging. I think it's a problem with the iPod as even when I plug it into the plug socket to charge the same thing happens, with no response from the battery icon. The screen does however light up when it's plugged in so the iPod recognises that it is plugged into a charging source, but thats just the backlight coming on and nothing else and it won't let me sync it or anything.
I can't get to an apple store for over 3 weeks as I am home for Easter and there's none near me but any help would be appreciated!!
I have restarted it multiple times, it still doesn't work.

Bump, I have this exact problem.
iPod Classic, 160GB, running the latest OS
Charges, but doesn't display charging icon (no lightning bolt in the top right). Doesn't recognize that it is plugged into the computer, and the computer doesn't recognize it (MacBook Pro, again, latest OS).
I have reset it... twice. And I've put it in disc mode - same results.
It will charge off my computer, but it won't sync, and it hasn't for about a week, so my podcasts are all out of date
Thanks for the help!

My computer won't recognise my touch

HELP!!!!!! My computer won't recognise my new touch zen... I'm running windows 98SE, did all the updates and still nothing, any suggestions?

Seanix200,
Ok, first off, when you plugged it in, did the system find new hardware? Do you get any indication that Windows sees that there is a device plugged into the USB port. If not then you may want to move to another USB port or try another system to make sure that this is not a problem with the Zen Touch itself.
If it does say it found new hardware, go into Device Manager and find the listing for the Zen Touch...it may be an unknown USB device. If it has an exclamation next to it, then you will want to double click on it and choose to reinstall the driver. This will give you another shot at the install.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

HT5149 Final Cut Pro x won't recognise any of my external hard drives

Hi, I am sorry to start a new thread on this topic as I am aware there are already numerous threads. I have been searching through them for a solution to my problem and nothing appears to be working.
As stated in the title, Final cut X won't recognise any of my external hard drives. When I open Final cut x all I see is an "Untitled" event in the library and not even a mention of my internal drive.
I have checked that all my hard drives are formatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) which I can confirm they all are. I have a spare hard drive which currently has no content on it and I have just reformatted it using disk utility to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). This hard drive is not showing up in the library either. I mention this as some of the suggested solutions appear to be that an external hard drive not showing up might be because of folders within the hard drive labeled something such as "Video" "Audio" or "DCIM," as this may cause Final cut x to see it as a camera device and not a hard drive. This hard drive has absolutely nothing on it and has been reformatted just 10 minutes ago, yet it still does not show up in my final cut x library. The weird thing is... all the hard drives show up in Motion 5.
I am really stuck and I don't know what to do. I am currently in the process of re-installing final cut x to see if that will change anything. I will post what happens as soon as it has been reinstalled. I can provide screenshots as soon as it has been reinstalled.
Does anyone have a solution to this? Has anyone had the same problem and found out what I must be doing wrong? I would greatly appreciate any comments or feedback which might provide some insight into what I am doing wrong. I feel like this must be an error on my part as I am not that adept at using final cut x.
Thanks,
Chris

I am using the latest version. Currently re-installing final cut x which will bring me up to date.
Thank you for taking the time to reply. That makes a lot of sense.
However I still can't understand something... I only have 100gb free on my internal drive and I want to optimize a large amount of footage for my video projects. How do I save my projects to this hard drive if it is not showing up in my library?
I appreciate I am probably being very stupid and am very grateful of any insight!
Thanks,
Chris

ITunes and the Finder won't recognise iOS devices but iPhoto will and will recognise my iPod classic

Good day good people,
I seem to be having a problem syncing my iOS devices to iTunes. The Finder and iTunes won't recognise any of my iOS devices (iPads - 1, 2or Mini and iPhone 4s). iPhoto will however. Finder and iTunes will recognise my iPod Classic.
I've tried this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
and I tried doing a SCM reset and a PRAM reset (I couldn't get this one to work though) as recommended on another thread which I can't seem to find again.
Note people seem to have had a similar problem with older versions of OSX - I have the latest. They reommend reinstaliling iTunes but I can't do this with more recent versions it seems.
I am confident it is something corrupt with my MacPro as I also have a MacBook Air and it recognises all the iOS devices.
One last thing - and I'm not sure this is related - but iTunes on my MacPro doesn't seem to be syncing purchases from the iTunes store with my other devices (notably my AppleTV 2).
I have been banging my head against this one for a while - any help would be greatly approeciated.

My computer won't recognise my ipod shuffle

my computer won't recognise my ipod shuffle

So I recently had this same problem. My Shuffle 2nd gen would not be recognized by my iTunes. It had been a few years since i used it and at one point may have been connected to iTunes on a PC. After several tries at troubleshooting, I realized that maybe the device is corrupted. Since my iMac would not recognize the Shuffle, I connected to a PC and it appeared as a disk. I reformatted the Shuffle in FAT32, plugged it back into my iMac and iTunes recognized it just fine but as a new device. So if you have access to a PC, reformat it there and then try your Mac iTunes again.

I have now lost my contacts icon on the iphone and cannot find it even after syncing to my computer.
Would you know how to resolve this issue?
It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder, check the utilities folder as this is a common one for it to disappear into. Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it. Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

My itunes won't recognise any of the music that is already stored on my computer or let me sync anything to my new ipod nano!! any ideas??

I recently bought a new ipod nano and when i got it home and connected it to my computer I was told my version of i-tunes was not compatable and I had to un-install it and then download it again. After I did this 4 times i eventually managed to get itunes to open on my computer and recognise my new ipod. However after all that hassle my version of itunes now wont recognise any of the music that has already been downloaded onto my computers music files. I have tried copying the music across and also using the add music to the itunes library command and nothing seems to work! I really like the ipod but if i had known that itunes was this difficult to work i would have picked a different type of music player! since i have bought the ipod ive heard nothing but bad things about how difficult and complicated itunes is to work so if anyone has any ideas for how i can fix this problem thatd be great! Thanks

You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
