Device Manager is blank

Everything started when I tried to use a Huawei EC168 USB Stick to connect to the Internet. When it installs the program used to run this device into the computer, and tries to install the drivers for this purpose it installs everything but what I suppose is a driver named Data Interface. Then I figured this could be solved by using Device Manager, but to my surprise it appears to be blank. I have tried uninstalling everything and installing it again (even by making a System Restore), I've tried updating my computer, I tried solving it through "regedt32" and so on. Any ideas on how to solve this?

Hi Friend! I have never seen that before. I'm sorry, but I don't have any more suggestions for you. The only suggestion I have is restore back to factory. There may be more replies. I'm totally amazed. How can this be?? Could this be a Virus?? I don't know. A restore back to factory should get rid of a virus and give you a clean start. Save your important data on a external USB. I'm a little disturbed my self. I registered here to help owners of Toshiba lap tops and it seems that I have been left to answer all the messages with very little help and that is up setting. I just received a another promotion and that is a good thing????? I think ???I rely on what my inner self is telling me to reply. Some times I get it right. Some times I get it wrong. I'm thinking that I have probably forgot as much as I know and what I have learned. Your problem is some thing I have never encountered. Thank you for your reply and your feed back. I'm hoping others will reply latter.
Dokie!

ACE 4710 Device Manager Gives Blank Screen

Hi Guys,
Wish somebody could share his/her experience on this.
I have a problem with ACE4710 Device Manager that after entering username and password, it will appear just a blank screen. And it happen also to the FT peer.
I know that the workaround is to reload the ACE (as it happened one time before) but I wish somebody could share a better or probably permanent solution to this problem.
Thank you in advance guys.

Local Area Connections and Device Manager blank

I'm running a Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller with Windows 7 machines underneath it. Both on the DC and the clients the Network Connections is blank and there are no Devices in the Device Manager. I found numerous other articles having me check services,
GPOs, Registry settings, etc. However, I can't seem to make progress on resolving this issue. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
Based on my research, the blank Device Manager issue is usually due to you have a critical Windows service disabled or your permissions in the registry for the Device Manager
key are corrupt. Please make sure that the Plug and Play is running in the Services. In addition, please check the permission of key blow:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum
Please right-click on Enum and choose Permission, then make sure that you have set Everyone with read permission and System with full control permission.
In addition, since your network connection was blank, you can also try to delete the Config key in the following key
to clear the configuration cache:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network
Windows automatically recreates the key if you open Network Connections folder or restart your system.
Best regards,
Susie

No items appear in the Device Manager

I can't get my laptop to detect any devices when I plug them in, I check the "Device Manager" and its empty. I checked for corrupt files as one article suggested and it looks like that's not the problem. I don't have any antivirus install either.
Any suggestions? Please help, I was told that if I don't fix the problem soon, the laptop soon won't boot.

Is there any changes before this issue happen?
I suspected this is registry issue
This step should be helpfull

Ipod 5th Generation 80 GB / Device Manager / Driver not Installed / Code 28

Well, where do I begin! Got my 1st Ipod 2 days ago & still unable to use it! I have installed & uninstalled the itunes 7 software numerous times. On phone w/ Apple for 1 hour...followed by online chat help w/ Dell.
I've tryed 4 different USB ports on my computer. The device Manager shows the Ipod w/ a ? and a ! in yellow. The add new hardware tells me, "Drivers for this device are not installed. Code 28." My computer reconizes that the ipod is plugged in, but will not do anything. There is no communication between the 2. Keeps telling me to insert cd for software for ipod.
Help! Does seem that other people are having similar issues. I think a software cd should of been provided w/ the ipod....not sure if that would of corrected my problem.

Hi,
Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Run. the Run dialog appears,
Type %temp%, then click OK.

Click the Address bar area, then the full address path will appear,
Copy the full path location by clicking CTRL + P while the path is selected.
Enter the Device Manager.
Right click the printer name with the error mark, then click Update Driver.

IPod is not recognized by Windows, iTunes or Device Manager

I'm running Windows XP with external hard drive. When hard drive is connected, iPod will not sync and I get message stating "USB Device Not Recognized. One of the USB devices had malfunctioned..."
When disconnect, iPod will sync. However, iTunes is on external drive; therefore musc is not syncing onto iPod. I've attempted the 5 R's as well as searching for iPod in Device Mananger. When iPod is conncected, it is listed in Devce Manage as "Unknown Device." Articles to solve recommend relettering device, bu how do I get it to be recognized by Device Manager?

I HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM TO THAT I JUST BOUGHT MY 30GB IPOD VIDEO ABOUT 4 HOURS AGO, SINCE THEN I HAVE BEEN REALLY STRUGGLING TO INSTALL IT. A SOON AS I GOT IT, I DID EXACTLY WHAT IT SAID, I WENT TO WWW.APPLE.COM/IPOD/START AND DOWNLOADED THE NEWEST ITUNES VERSION. THEN I PLUGGED IN MY IPOD TO MY COMPUTER, AND ALL THAT HAPPENS IS A LITTLE BUBBLE OPENS UP AND SAYS "FOUND NEW HARDWARE" WHEN I CLICK THAT, IT OPENS UP, AND I CLICK "INSTALL THE SOFTWARE AUTOMATICALLY" WHERE IT SAYS IT, THEN I CLICK NEXT AND WAIT. AFTER, IT SAYS "THE HARDWARE WAS NOT INSTALLED BECAUSE THE WIZARD CANNOT FIND THE NECESARRY SOFTWARE".AFTER I WENT TO WWW.APPLE.COM TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, I'VE LOOKED THROUGH AND READ EVERY ARTICLE THAT CAN PERTAIN TO MY SITUTAION, BUT NONE HAVE HELPED ME I AM DISPLEASED TO SAY, THE LAST ARTICLE I READ WAS THIS ONE:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305136
BUT EVEN THAT DOES NOT HELP ME BECAUSE WHEN I GET TO STEP 8 WHICH SAYS "Locate the iPod in this list. In some cases one of the entries will have "iPod" in its name. If no such entries are present, the iPod is most likely represented by "USB Mass Storage Device." I LOOK FOR WHERE IT SAYS "IPOD" OR "USB MASS STORAGE DEVICE" UNDER "UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS CONTROLLERS, AND CANNOT FIND EITHER THING..I HAVE RESTARTED MY COMPUTER A NUMBER OF TIMES, I HAVE EVEN UNISTALLED ITUNES THEN REINSTALLED IT I HAVE STRETCHED EVERY OPTION AND NOTHING HAS WORKED..CAN SOME ONE PLEASE HELP ME??..I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM FOR 4 HOURS STRAIGHT STOPPING ONLY TO GO TO THE BATHROOM AND GRAB A BITE TO EAT..

[solved] Digital Camera not recognized in device-manager

My digital camera "Canon Powershot SX120 is" is not recognized by the devicemanager. I have read Digital Cameras.
$ groups
wheel storage users printadmin
The "camera"-Group isn't needed anymore and this group doesn't exist on my system.
The Powershot SX 120 has a MTP/PTP connection mode (as the manual says). But:
# mtp-detect
Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled.libmtp version: 1.1.6
Listing raw device(s)
No raw devices found.
gphoto succeed:
$ gphoto2 --auto-detect
Modell Port
Canon PowerShot SX120 IS usb:002,019
A gphoto --summary could be found here
There is no udev-rule for this camera. If i create one while copying a rule from a similar camera from /etc/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules, and store it into /etc/udev/rules.d/69-canon.rules, the device-manager shows up. My udev-rule:
# Canon PowerShot SX120AX (PTP/MTP mode)
ATTR{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTR{idProduct}=="31e0", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}="1"
The device-manager shows me only the option to open with a file-manager. Doing so will result in an error:
The file or folder udi=/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8/ do not exist.
With my udev-rule:
solid-hardware listen

Listening to add/remove events:
Device Added:
udi = '/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8'
Without the active udev-rule, "solid-hardware listen" produces nothing, but
udevadm monitor
monitor will print the received events for:

Don't know what to do ... is a udev-rule necessary to bring up the message from device-manger? Or is the Camera not recognized as a mtp-device (the Camera has no such settings)? How could i figure it out?
With Digikam i could import Fotos, but i would do so with gwenview. I've tried to check it out with gwenview_importer:
$ gwenview_importer --udi '/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb2/2-8'
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
gwenview_importer: Missing required source folder argument.
(don't care about the different udi, i took this example from a former try) but i don't know, how to find out where the "source folder" is ...

I have solved this by making an extra udev-rule for my camera. See my adventure on forum.kde.org for details

Just boot camped mid-2012 MBP using Apple's BootCamp 5.1.5621. However, no wireless adapter is listed in device manager

[In Windows 8.1] When I access the Device Manager, it does not list my wireless adapter as one of the devices available. I have attempted to manually install the drivers from the BootCamp 5.1.5621 file.
I've spent several hours attempting to remedy this but have only found threads explaining how to solve the problem if the 802 adapter is already listed in the device manager.

I recently had some BT issue's in Win8 so I wrote a topic about this subject. Maybe you need to replace the Broadcom drivers as well.
Please have a look here:

Unable to open 2 9509 switches at the same time in Cisco Device Manager

Dear Friends,
There are a pair of MDS 9509 switches whose management addresses are 172.16.2.197 and 172.16.2.198.
When we try to manage these Devices through Cisco device manager, the first device opens up without any problem, but when the second 9509 is opened in Cisco Device Manager, it fails giving the following error message:
"Open udp transport failed: Address already in use: Cannot bind"
To get around this issue, if we close the first interface to the 9509 switch, then we are able to open up the second 9509 in Device Manager.
We have this problem only in Cisco device manager. If we open one switch in Cisco device manager and the other switch in Cisco Fabric Manager, it works.
Also, we can telnet to both the devices successfully at a time.
The device manager in use is 4.1.
Please find enclosed the sh version outputs for your kind reference.
Can you please help me understand the cause of this issue?
Thanks a lot
Gautam

Is it always the same MDS that fails to open, or can you open either one first, and then the second one poses the problem (no matter which one is second)?
Can you try from a second work station and see if you can open DM to both switched at the same time? I suspect the address it is complaining about is the local workstation IP, not the MDS IP.
If you open the FM map, then you click on the MDS ICONs, can you open DM to both MDS?

Questions on mobile device management

Hi All,
I'm not sure where to post this question since I couldn't find a forum specific to Afaria, so thought someone here might be able to help.
1. Afaria mobile device management solution claims that data and content is backed up and can be deleted if a device is stolen or lost. Can this deletion be done if the mobile is switched off of the SIM card has been removed? What is the mechanism of the data deletion process when the device is either ON/OFF?
2. How does Afaria handle online and offline user authentication? If a mobile app is opened, can Afaria be configured to force the user to enter credentials for authentication? Or should there be a separate login page as a part of the mobile app? (The user's credentials are needed to find his role from LDAP and the rest of the app to work properly, which is y the question).
Thanks & Regards,
Vaishnavi

This forum is fine for Afaria discussions and questions, no worries.
1. If mobile device is switched off or not network connected then Afaria is not able to do anything with that device. The content though would be secured, encrypted etc. so that there should be no risk as long as the device is switched off. The "kill device" command that can be sent from Afaria will work if device is turned on and connected to a network.
2. Afaria can force quite a lot of things and one of them is regarding the device itself, forcing a password/pin type of unlocking. The mobile app normally has it's own mechanism for authentication, user name and password. That is a SUP function and has little to do with Afaria, I don't believe Afaria can force that part of authentication.
You can get a good overview of the technical part of Afaria here: [Afaria Technical White paper|http://www.sybase.com/files/White_Papers/Afaria-Technical-WP.pdf]
