Dell XPS Touchpad Driver No Longer Working in Build 10041. Was fine with Build 9926

First of this is an old Dell, but from Vista through to Windows 8.1 Update, and then the initial Windows 10 Tech Preview Builds the Mouse Drivers have been OK. Its not so much the core mouse driver, but the feature extensions in the Accompanying driver bundle
that have stopped working. i.e. the ability to control finger scrolling and tapping, etc.
The Dell supplied drivers for my laptop (XPS M1330) ended with Windows 7 32bit, However, newer Dell laptop models had compatible, fully functioning drivers that could be installed. That was until build 10041.
So my questions are:
1. Anyone found a compatible driver for a Dell XPS with the Alps/Synaptics Touchpad model?
2. If MS Staffers read this, I understand that the model for Windows 10 is... "if it worked in an earlier Windows it will work in Windows 10", so, is this likely to be fixed?
Other than this issue, which is very irritating because working with a very limited mouse is a pain when the mouse supports other touch features, my Windows 10 experience has been really good.
Cheers,
Pete

Hi Alex,
I found a semi-compatible driver for the Synaptics Touchpad, which is found searching for Dell KB R293038.exe
This driver provides basic two finger touchpad scroll support and chiral scroll. It doesn't support advance Windows 8/8.1/10 swipe features.
Importantly this driver does not support two finger/chiral scroll gestures in Windows Modern Apps like the Store, or Project Spartan, or any other Windows Modern Apps.
Hopefully the Windows 10 Tech Preview Team will be able to work out what they changed that broke the Synaptics Touchpad gestures for so many people posting about the issue on these forums.
Cheers,
Pete

Assuming it's not a Gray Machine specific Install Disc, it should work.

My ImageClass MF4380dn Cannon Multifunction Copier driver no longer works after installing Mavericks. How can I resolve this?

My Image Class MF4380dn Cannon Multifunction Copier driver no longer works after installing Mavericks. I have checked with Cannon and they do not list my partricular machine among their driver updates. Is there another place to download a driver suitable for Mavericks?

Your MF4380dn is supported by the latest UFR2 v10.4.0 driver that supports 10.9. Here is a link from the Canon Australia web site,
http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100491502.html
Before installing this driver, please remove the MF4380 from Printers & Scanners (unless you have already performed the reset that Carolyn mentions which will remove it for you). Then run the v10.4.0 installer and when it has completed, open Printers & Scanners and add the MF4380.

After recently installing itunes on my new PC running windows 8, the CD/DVD drives no longer works, gives a code 19 message. Seems itunes is impacting the registry of the DVD drive. What is best solution to keep running itunes normally in the future & get the CD/DVD drive working again? if I delete the upper / lower registry keys what other functions are impacted? I see others say itunes asks for a reinstall...then same problem all over again! THX

Have you revieved this support document?

I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?

A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
"...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it." Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct 25 2013.
If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

Dv9ooo series dv9925nr notebook no audio, disk drive no longer works

so i purchased this notebook brand new some years ago from best buy but right after my warrenty went out the audio would not work, then it could not even find the audio hardware installed, shortly after the disk drive no longer worked, so i stopped using because hp wouldnt do nothing about it, well i recently decided to look up the problem and read there was a lawsuit regarding this, i mean we spent 1000.00 for this laptop where 300.00 ones lasted longer and worked better, i have not bought a hp product since because i feel they dont stand behind their products, but i read the amd ones were being replaced, so is hp going to be able to still stand behind that and fix mine too, and what is the issue with it??

Hi @Lookin4help ,
I have sent your issue for review and do check your private message when a HP employee reaches out to you in regards to this one.

After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a few weeks ago, I took it out of the car and it no longer works. Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support. Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car. But wont work anywhere now

After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a for the last few weeks, I took it out of the car and it no longer works. Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support. Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car. But won't work anywhere now. I tried re-setting but has not worked. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

i have a imac g4 with a philips cdd5301 drive. the drive doesn't work. what should i replace it with that is compatible. i've seen some bad reviews about the philips drive

Any good external optical drive should do, in this case, Google is your friend, just make sure it's Mac compatible.

I recently uploaded OSX 10.6.7 and ever since then, my Boris titler in FCP does not work with all the fonts, notably Avenir. It actually crashes FCP now. It was fine with the previous version. What's up Apple?

I know what your'e going through, Gary.   OSX 10.6.7 is an absolute disaster.   Since I upgraded, I've had problems in FCP, Logic, Garageband, even issue dealing with peripheral hardware like external monitors.
Before 10.6.7 my system was running fine.
I've brought this up with Apple repeatedly.   They smile and shrug.   They've been helpful resolving the issues, but none of them has been easy to solve. I have spent days, dealing back and forth with tech support, sending logs, etc., before solutions have been found.
I wish I could give you an answer to your question.   My only guess is that Apple has totally dropped the ball on this one.   In the future they should provide a disclaimer when they offer an upgrade. Something like:   "Caution: all of your software may not function after this upgrade. But go ahead, you'll feel cool that your OS is the latest thing."
As someone who has been with Apple for close to 25 years, I'm disturbed by what appears to be an increasing sloppiness in their work.   This is especially disturbing when you depend upon their system to make your living.
Good luck.

Elantech synaptics touchpad driver doesn't work properly for G570 on Win8

Hello, i got G570 laptop, at first i had Win 7 installed in it, i downloaded the touch pad driver for my laptop to use the scrolling feature of touch pad and it worked fine. Now i upgraded my OS to Win 8 and so i download and installed the touchpad driver for Win 8. The problem i am facing is that the scrolling feature no longer work on Win 8. Please suggest me a solution

I am having the same exact problem on my G580. Everything funtions perfectly in desktop mode, but in any metro app or the start screen scrolling does not work.

DVD optical drive no longer works with Windows under bootcamp or parallels

For some strange reason, the DVD optical drive- Optiarc 5680 on my 27" iMac, no longer works anymore with Windows under Parallels or Bootcamp. It used to work perfectly fine before, but now it just shows up with a yellow exclamation mark under Device Manager and Code 39 "Windows cannot load the device driver..."
The DVD drive continues to still work fine with OSX. But it won't work anymore under Windows via Parallels or bootcamp, despite trying to uninstall the optical device drivers, update, reinstall, etc. Anybody else experiencing this or have any ideas?

Finally found the solution for anybody else who runs into this problem. It was solved by doing a registry mod in Windows from this site:
http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpcd.php#problems
described in “My CD drives have vanished (from Explorer, Device Manager, etc.)”
After applying the registry changes the DVD optical drive worked instantly again with Windows....sigh...guess I can't blame the Mac on this one.

Epson printer driver no longer working after 10.4.11 update

It seems that my original Epson driver for my Stylus Photo 750 is no longer working after my latest Tiger update. The system does recognise it but shows an exclamation mark behind it and refuses to print with it (the document stays in the waiting line forever). Reinstalling as well as repairing permissions didn´t help. Fortunately the Gimp Epson driver is still working but I have no access to my coloursync profiles with this driver.
I know that many printer drivers need to be rewritten for Leopard (one of the reasons I didn´t update yet) but it is not understandable why problems happen with a Tiger update.
Does anyone know a workaround?
Thanks very much
Wolfgang

I just discovered a similar problem. I have an old Epson SC3000 and under 10.4.11 my computer doesn't communicate with the printer. It's an AppleTalk printer, connected via Ethernet. I tried bypassing my network switch and connected it directly to the Mac-- no go. I then rebooted into 10.3.9 and printing works fine.
I downloaded the driver from Epson and installed it in 10.4.11. When I try to add the printer in the Printer Setup Utility, the machine just hangs-- can't force quit the utility and eventually the Finder even stops responding. It takes a hard reboot to clear up.
I can't say whether or not printing worked in earlier versions of 10.4. I haven't been using 10.4 for very long, and I rarely use the SC3000.

Siliconmotion video driver no longer working

Updating xorg broke the siliconmotion video driver - the new module no longer works with my hardware - an asus laptop. I have to use vesa at 16. In previous incarnations I was able to fall back or build direct from xorg but the previous versions no longer work either (after also updating my desktop which uses nv - I believe it is because of the new hotplugging because the old nv module would start but would lose all input functionality) (but I see you actually now support the nv module so I no longer have to build my own).

Well, heck.
I am so sorry you guys couldn't get through to me. you can email, [email protected] anytime for full support.
On the issue of Lion, and the XLR8 devices?
Apple did change a number of items, that limited the XtraView's ability (this is the one, with the built-in audio on the older 2820 chipset). Audio, just won't work in 64-bit mode.
The easy workarounds are to boot into 32-bit mode (hit 3 and 2) on boot.
To check if you are in 64 bit mode, go to the System Profiler (Apple Menu > More Info > Software (left pane) and see if the 64 bit is loaded.
If in 32-bit mode you are still having an issue, please check that you are running XLR8 version 1.4.6. You can download new versions at http://XLR8.com.
You can email XLR8 for a free audio cable (Mac sound jack to RCA audio), or for $25, XLR8 can upgrade you to the new 2860 device that works in 64-bit mode.
Now, that hopefully, we have you working again... about Daystar. Actually XLR8 has always developed, built and shipped the devices. Daystar just had a bigger name and was an Apple Authorized Reseller. But, the Apple relationship ended, and Daystar closed.
XLR8, LLC will continue to support the devices and we will continue to provide great products and good support (sorry, we are a small company, and due to limited time... I can only provide "good" support. Maybe one day, it will be great.)
We are expanding the website at XLR8.com. You are always welcome to provide feedback and suggestions.
Oh, and lastly, thanks to Thiago, for sending me an email, and alerting me to the thread...
Gary,
XLR8
