Device driver

i wud like to know how effective is java in making device drivers ? i have been given the job of coding a webcam driver and i have very little idea about how to go about it.
please help !
thanx in advance

I doubt it's a "device driver" you have to code in Java.
Device drivers are low level platform specific pieces of code, to control and retrieve raw data from a USB port.
Java isn't low level enough, nor fast enough for this.
However, if you want to display a WebCam window, grab still images and
capture video & audio in AVI files, then check out JMF. ( Java Media Framework ). You'll need the Windows/Linux performance version which allows video capture.

Itunes/Iphone/Ipod device driver issues - tried everything. Still not working.

After hours and hours of research, I'm completely stuck. Here's the basic problem.
When I plug in my Iphone to my laptop, windows pulls up a little window that says installing device driver software. After several minutes, the process fails and a message comes up that says windows found drivers for my device, but encountered an error and wasn't able to install them. In the device manager, the iphone is listed as an "other device" with a yellow triangle/exclamation point. Itunes never recognizes the device.
When I plug in my ipod nano 4th generation, the exact same thing happens, except it's listed in the device manager as an ipod. (same yellow triangle though.)
Up until today, both of these devices have been working properly, syncing without trouble. The iphone synced wirelessly and the ipod every time I plugged it in. I can't figure out what on earth happened to my laptop today that messed things up.
It's also worth noting that I have another older ipod nano... second generation, I think, that plugs in and is recognized immediately, works perfectly.
Here is what I've done so far:
1. I worked through every single troubleshooting guide that Apple has to offer. No change.
2. I did a complete clean install of itunes and all additional components, rebooted and reinstalled. No change.
3. I uninstalled/re-installed usb controllers in the device manager. No change.
4. reset both the phone and the ipod. No change.
5. I've tried various cables. No change.
6. I've run system checks and repair utilities for windows vista.
7. I've used selective start up to see if another program is interfering. I've stood on my head and counted to one hundred. I've only said seventeen swear words.
At this point I've done so much searching and troubleshooting, I can't imagine how anything is going to fix this issue. So this is my last hope. Please oh please be smart enough to tell me what to do...

Not sure if this is significant, but in a weird turn of events, when I tried plugging the ipod in this morning, the little message that pops up to install device driver software actually told me the drivers were installed successfully. However, in the device manager, it still says the drivers are NOT installed properly, the little yellow triangle is still there and the ipod still isn't registering in itunes, or my computer. So. Not really any improvement, but a different symptom none the less?
I'm desperate, guys. Someone help?

Windows vista, Ipod shuffle 4th gen. Computer cannot find device driver software for ipod.

After several hours trying the troubleshooting options provided by the apple support site, I have come to what I think is the issue here. My girlfriend recently got an ipod shuffle and when plugging it into her computer the dialog pops up saying it is installing device driver software for the ipod. Eventually it asks me to insert the CD that came with the ipod. No CD came with the ipod, so I click the option that says "I do not have my cd". Then it gives me the option of searching automatically or manually for the driver software. The automatic way can't find it. Doing it manually, with the help of the troubleshooting page, didn't work either. google search can't seem to help me on this one. Also, I tried plugging the ipod into my computer (not hers) and it worked fine, it was able to install the device driver software on its own. Does anybody know the issue here? My computer has windows 7, and hers has vista. Hers is Serice Pack 1. When I tried installing service pack 2 it wouldnt work. I don't know if that is the issue though. I have tried just about everything, I think the issue is finding the device driver software. When I do a google search nothing comes up, so I have no idea what to do at this point. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Well its surprising to know that! But even have an ipod shuffle 3rd gen n dint face any problem like that. FYI no cd comes with the ipod jus take ur ipod to an apple exoert n he will solve ur problem .

Can some one help me with diagnostic test result " apple mobile device driver not found"?

I bought an iPhone 4gs 32gb from Singapore. iso 4. I'm living in Chennai, India. To connect it to my computer (windows XP,), I have downloaded iTunes 10.6.1.7. Unfortunately iTunes is not recognizing my iPhone. I had tried to troubleshoot it by reinstalling iTunes (2 times). I have restarted the apple mobile device from control panel. I try connecting my iphone in another usb port. but no use. I don't know what am I missing?. iTunes opens on my computer. but doesn't recognize my device. when I click on help. it says an "unknown error has occurred. your computer is not connected to internet. please check your internet connection and try again later". I don't know what to do? could you please help me? thank you so much for your help and time.

I have the same problem. I think that someone tried my iphone before me because when I want to reset it, I'm invited to enter a password that I didn't set. Also, when I go the Map application, the iphone indicate that I'm locateded in China while I'm in Tunisia. Now, I can't connect to my iphone to itunes, and I can't reset it because it ask me to enter a password that I didn't set.

Can't install Windows 7 Pro x64 - device driver missing - can't eject DVD

Hello,
I am trying to install Windows 7 Pro x64 - I create the partition in boot camp and start windows install process. **During the Windows install process**, it says "A required CD/DVD device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now. Note: if the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step".
Apparently the drivers are on the OSX install DVD. But, there is no way to eject the windows DVD! Why on earth is there no manual eject on Macs? Is there another way to eject? I tried to put a paperclick in the slot next to where a CD is inserted but it didn't do anything. Is there another way to get Windows to see the correct device drivers?
I am all for clean slick designs, but when it does not have all required functionality, it is kind of useless.
I am talking to Mac Support and they can't help.
Looks like I will have to return this Mac, I also need to boot into full Windows (without Parallels or VMWare) to do my work.

You don't mention what Mac you have, so I'd have to say there is almost no way to help.
IF the 7 Pro x64 came download ISO thru EDU, you have to burn it, and if you use Disk Utility, at 2X reduced burn speed... otherwise it won't work.
A VM isn't fussy and can use ISOs.
If you want both native and VM, to have Windows installed on its own hard drive and use it under OS X, then you have to install it and use Boot Camp Assistant.
I'd say it is all about your DVD media.

Create additional installer error code -12 file not found from device driver cd

I'm trying to build an installer for a project that includes several NI drivers - specifically NI-DMM. NI-SCOPE, NI-SWITCH, NI-845x, and a few others (MAX, DAQ, etc). When I build the software standalone (and only include the run-time engine), it works fine. However, when I try to build the installer with the additional installers (mentioned above), the build prompts me for device driver cds, and then fails. Specifically, it fails on the February 2006 Device Driver cd. The error is attached below.
I have tried
- repairing all the installations of the software mentioned
- using a new project and re-adding the files
- building the additional installers seperately (no source code installed)
- copying the driver cds to the harddrive and referencing them there when needed
The next step will be to reinstall all of those drivers from scratch, but I really would prefer not to. Does anyone have any ideas (or solutions) regarding this problem?

I have had this happen a lot espescially with LV 8.0 -8.20. What I had to do was take the device drivers CD and copy it to the and run the installation of the software from the copy on the hard disk.
When you build an exe with additional installers it looks at the last place that you installed the drivers from. Anyway it worked for me so it might work for you.

IPhone not showing up in iTunes- device driver issue?

I'm having a problem getting iTunes to recognize my iPhone. I'm running XP Pro 64-bit. I know iTunes isn't supposed to work with x64 XP, but I've had it working for months now (by doing a quick edit to the .msi installer it will install on XP). I'm using the newest iTunes 8.1 and the new 3.0 iPhone OS (yes, im on the developer program). When i plug it in windows beeps and gives me the camera wizard, but iTunes does nothing. I've tried updating the driver in device manager and choosing "i will pick the driver to install" and then picking the apple mobile device driver. i clicked "continue anyway" when it told me my face was going to melt off if i use this driver. I went to help in iTunes and ran diagnostics; everything passes on the connectivity tests, but then it tells me "one or more sync tests failed". I had it working 2 days ago with the 3.0 and iTunes 8.1. it just all the sudden stopped working. any help is greatly appreciated. i thank you in advance for your time.

If you are a registered developer - the iPhone SDK runs on an Intel Mac running OS X Leopard only, then you can visit the Developer Forum for the SDK (which isn't supported with Windows) and for the 3.0 BETA, which is for IPhone and iPod Touch app development, which requires an Intel Mac running Leopard.

Old iPod mini can't be recognized after formatting, and iTunes 'Apple Mobile Device Driver not found.'

My roommate gave me an old iPod Mini a few days ago. It was working fine 'til I plugged it into my computer and it asked me to format it. I did, and now it cannot be recognized by iTunes or my computer. My computer views it as a "removable disk" which cannot be accessed. In devices, it is listed as an Apple iPod though, so I'm hoping not all is lost. I have tried many quick fixes I've read on internet (including changing disk letter) but to no avail. I have reinstalled the new iTunes and now that is telling me it has not installed properly, and when I ran diagnostics, it reads that the Apple Mobile Device Driver not found. I will copy & paste all the info from the diagnostic run below, and if anybody can help me with my new (old) iPod, I'd be everly greatful!
Thanks!!

What i knew about iPhone before buying it:
What You Need
To use iPhone, you need:
A new two-year wireless service plan with AT&T
A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 port and one of the following operating systems:
Mac OS X version10.4.10 or later
Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate edition
iTunes 7.3 or later, available at www.itunes.com
An iTunes Store account
An Internet connection
You must be at least 18 years old to open a new AT&T wireless account. You will need a
major credit card to open a new iTunes Store account.
Yeahyeah check all that stuff;
Oh well; just when i thought i'd finally cross over to the beautiful packaging of APPLE. I remember in design school that form follows function. Thanks.
Windows Vista

VISTA - can;t find device driver for your IPOD - read the solution here!

It would appear that VISTA is rather stupid when it comes to the Ipod - it can't find the driver for itself. Do the normal autmatic way of trying to find the driver (that doesn't find the device) then look in the hardware device list (control panel) you should see you Ipod listed under other devices with a yellow triangle next to it. Right click this line and select "properties". then click "update device driver". Then, DON'T do the automatic find, instead click "I will choose the device from a list". Click on "storage device" and voila! VISTA now finds a USB mass storage device and installs it - JOB DONE! HOORAY!
good luck!
Mark.
Ipod 5G video colour Other OS WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE

When you are prompted to look for a driver input
C:\WINDOWS\System32 and browse it will find a generic
volume that fixes it.
I tried this as well. I can find a Generic Volume (I think it lists SD, MMC- neither of which seem correct), but neither of those helps. iPod still isn't recognized as a drive even in disc mode. I started another thread after not finding this one. I'm not sure why USB Mass Storage device isn't one of the options.

Install Device Driver Software for Palm TX

My new notebook has Windows Vista and I have had my Palm TX for almost two years. To install the Palm on my notebook I downloaded the version for Vista from Palm.com. When I went to synchronize the Palm with the computer during the installation the message kept coming back that "device driver software" could not be found. Where do I find the driver software? Is it on the original CD that came with the Palm? At this point I don't know what to do. Can someone help me with this problem?
Post relates to: Palm TX

mar008,
When you upgraded to Vista, did you install over the existing XP install on the same PC or get a new computer with Vista?
If you upgraded over the existing install of XP, you may need to do a "clean" uninstall and re-install Palm desktop. You should be able to use the original CD that you got with the TX on the Vista OS.
Not sure why you are getting the 680 message. Did you ever have a Treo 680 or a handheld that is a different model than the TX?
Here are the "clean" uninstall procedure for Vista.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer.
Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
hide hidden files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer.
Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks
you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you
did not sync before create a hotsync name.

Device Driver Software for Zire Z22

I have a Zire Z22 palm unit and am using Windows Vista on a desktop computer. I have loaded the special Palm Desktop Software suggested for Vista. But, when I connect the Palm using the USB cable and hit the hotsync button I get a message that the device driver software must be installed. It tries to search for the needed driver, but doesn't find it, not even on the Palm software disk. Where can I find the device driver software to download so I can hotsync?
Post relates to: Zire

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
There are more than one kind of Vista...32 bit or 64 bit. If your Vista machine is 64 bit, you are limited to syncing via IR (infrared) beaming. Please review the threads "stickied" near the top of the Windows Hotsync board about syncing a Z22 with 64-bit Vista.
If your Vista desktop is 32 bit, you might need to do a clean uninstall and reinstall. Stickies have that information as well.
BTW, I am moving this thread to the Windows Hotsync board.

IPod Nano 8G - Win7 - Device driver software wat not successfully installed

Hi,
Just got my first Apple iPod Nano 8G (4th) and has installed iTune 9.0.2 (64bit) on my Win 7 Ultimate x64. But I am not able to connect iPod nor Sync with iTune successfully even after reinstall/reboot many times with the same problem.
After the installation of iTune accomplished, I plug USB adapter into PC, then Win7 detected and started to install the driver for the hardware, but got "Device driver software wat not successfully installed" as a result.
Then I went to Device Manager tring to install the driver manually for "Apple iPod USB Driver", but finally I failed again and got "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device....", I think this is the software problem, please kindly advise, thanks a lot!

First, my officejet 4500 all-in-one installed and is working perfectly with wireless; however, I have for months still/have been getting the error/uninstall window continuously, telling me install was not successful, but again, printer, scanner, etc., working fine! But this "the installation was not successful" window is ALWAYS up or if I ctrl-alt-del and get it to end now, it comes back up; I have even let it do its thing, finish, restart, but it ALWAYS comes back up, trying to find a solution, etc. BUT MY PRINTER IS WORKING FINE! Please help me get rid of this; also, the file that it puts on desktop to troubleshoot, etc then delete afterward, I have deleted it, but this "unsuccessful" keeps trying to uninstall, reinstall; and as I said, actually went through all the steps to get it gone (printer working fine) but it will not go away! Thanks. ajm

HT201302 pc with Vista cannot find device driver software for 3GS

Windows Explorer cannot the iPhone. iTunes sees the 3GS, the memory alloted to pictures, but does not show over 1500 pics. iTunes only recognizes pics in files on PC. There are under 50 in the files.
When I plug in the iPhone, it searches for the device driver, but cannot find one.
The iPhone is appearing in Control Panel / Auto Play. Changing this setting makes no difference.
The iPhone also shows up in Control Panel / Device Manager as a Portable Device referred to as a Digital Still Camera, it has a yellow yield icon on it. It says it has the correct driver. Also, below the camera listing is 5 other devices. They are all the same listing of "Microsoft WPD FileSystem Volume Driver", they all have a yellow yield icon on them.
I have deleted all the portable devices and rebooted. They come back, however I have the same problem.
If have tried a number of things, if I recall I saw "Code 10" at one pont. I do not remember the item it was attached to. I will follow-up with more info as I can get. I have had a 3GS for over 2 years. Apple Care tried to help me very diligently on an other Vista machine and had no success. Please Help, someone.

Well its surprising to know that! But even have an ipod shuffle 3rd gen n dint face any problem like that. FYI no cd comes with the ipod jus take ur ipod to an apple exoert n he will solve ur problem .

Apple iPod USB Device driver issue on Win XP - syncing shuffle 2nd gen.

Hello fellow iPod shuffle users. Any of you run into this problem using the following configurations? Any advise/recommendations/workarounds much appreciated as I've burned 3 days on this issue and I'm still stonewalled.
I personally think it's a device driver issue/bug and am searching for a way to update my Apple iPod USB device driver for Win XP. Two brand new ipod shuffles (received for Christmas 2008) are both behaving this way, so the problem most likely points to a global software issue more-so than to shuffle hardware issue.
PROBLEM STATEMENT: Driver data i/o streaming issue does not allow shuffle to sync data with iTunes after initial sync (i.e. reading the content of the shuffle is good, but writing modified content fails). Posted error message "The ipod ... cannot be synced. Required disk cannot be found". After cracking the hood on my device driver, the problem seems to point to the Apple iPod USB device driver for Win XP. Driver will recognize the shuffle and read to it, but subsequent write attempts will result in device driver balks that "this device cannot start (code 10)".
ATTEMPTED WORKAROUNDS:
*Read All "How to Get Started Manuals" to make sure I was using the right technique for syncing my two shuffles from within iTunes... tried and failed
*Ensure only one shuffle was plugged in at a time (saw notice that two shuffles plugged in at the same time is not yet a supported config)... tried and failed
*The 5 R's as recommended by Apple Support... tried and failed.
*I've tried all 3 built in USB ports on my Lenovo T60. no love... tried and failed.
*Per discussion board: From Window's Device Manager-> Scaned for new hardware while shuffle was syncing...tried and failed.
* Per Discussion board: From Window's Disk Management -> Ensured shuffle came up as a FAT32 filesystem... connection tore down as quickly as windows recognized it.... tried and failed.
*From Windows Software config utility: Ran repair to re-install itunes 8... same results.
*From Windows software management utility: Uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 8... same results.
Hardware: IBM Thinkpad/Lenovo T60. Using build in k/b & no external mouse. Has 3 USB built in ports.
Software: Windows XP Pro SP2/iTunes 8.0.2/shuffle (2nd gen) driver 1.0.4 (same behavior using the original driver 1.0.3).

Hi. Ive got pretty much the same problem.... Got a new shuffle for christmas..having real problems syncing with itunes. Funnily enough I managed to get 25 tracks on it but then it just stopped. error message says " The ipod shuffle cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found." Ive done restore, and downloaded a reset utility thingy to try but still no joy.
