Downloading drivers

My hard drive crashed on my HP Pavilion dv7-4165dx Entertainment Notebook PC and I want to get files off it. I downloaded the driver and it just downloaded a bunch of nonsense. How can I get my files, pictures and videos off my hard drive?

Hi there
If you mean the hard drive crashed and you're not able to access it from your laptop anymore, I suggest you take out the HDD and connect it to another PC using SATA to USB adapter & copy them up.
Refer Manual for HDD removal instructions: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02642701.pdf

How to run downloaded drivers on Fresh Install of Labview 6.1 on a Mac G4 OS 9

I have just completed a fresh install of Labview 6.1 on an Macintosh G4 running OS9. I can run it and it seems to work just fine. I downloaded some drivers for an oscilloscope (HP 546XX) to run with an HP 54603b. When I installed, I went to open the 'Get Started.VI' I get a freeze and have to force quit out of labview. I am not sure how to resolve this. I am pretty sure that it is independent of the device, since I can open the vi's at least on another computer with no hardware attached. So I guess to boil my situation down. I have 2 questions:
-How do I get a fresh install on a mac G4 OS 9 to run downloaded drivers from the internet
-How do I ensure that I have the hardware configured on
a macintosh to run properly.
I really have little experience with macs so I am not really sure what my options are or what could be the problem so any assistance would be much appreciated.

Hmmm. I wonder if NI-VISA isn't installed correctly on this machine.
When LabVIEW loads a VI that uses a VISA name control on the front panel, it queries VISA for the installed devices. Sometimes this takes a few seconds, but maybe in your case, something has been corrupted and it's hanging.
To try to narrow this down, first run the separate program "VISAConfig". This should list your devices. If this works, this means it's pretty likely that VISA is installed correctly.
Next, run LabVIEW. On an empty front panel, select the "Controls->I/O->VISA Resource Name" and place it on the front panel. When you click on the arrow on this control, you should see a list of your devices. If this works, then that indicates that LabVIEW is successfully talking
to the VISA software.
If both of those succeeded, then we have to take a closer look at this particular instrument driver. Can you drop other VIs (say, Initialize or Close) without hanging?
If either of the first two steps fail, I'd suggest that you reinstall the VISA software. You may want to try the latest version of NI-VISA (from ni.com), but first confirm that it supports LabVIEW 6.1.
I hope this helps.

I downloaded CS6 and am having issues with my print driver. It is not compatible with the HP 2600n and have tried to download drivers given to me by adobe ( (Jupiter 3) but it is not working. after a few days. Its a temporary fix and is still looking for the HP driver when i boot up. It also will not save in any print or postscript format. Does anyone know how to fix?
Currently use a Mac with the latest Mavericks 10.9.4

Oh boy! Acting kind of weird seems to be an understatement, aquaequus!
What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

Can't download drivers!

Hello.
I have a DV7-6179us and never had any problems until about a month or so ago when it became super sluggish (it's almost impossible to even type). So yesterday I formatted and did a clean install of Windows 7-64bit. I've been trying to download drivers from the HP support site but the page won't display them. It just keeps loading indefinitely.
I was able to get most drivers from a third-party website (that has the link to HP ftp) but my computer is still super sluggish. I don't know if I'm missing a driver or something is corrupted. I wanted to get the drivers from the HP support site to make sure...
Anyone have any insight on what I could do? Thanks
This question was solved.

Ok, will do. Thanks again!

Can't install printer on Windows 8.1 with downloaded drivers

Strange problem. I cannot install a printer to a windows 8.1 tablet using either downloaded drivers specific to this printer or with universal drivers. The printer installation hangs after I enter the port, and it hangs at "installing printer" Now if I use auto detect, it installs without a problem. The problem with that is we have specific settings that need to be set that are not available with the native detected drivers. It acts like it will install, because if I refresh the screen on devices and printers, it shows. If I then go to printer properties, in the case of the universal drivers, it will not find the printer. It gives the universal drivers printer search page. I have admin privledgesI am installing via remote desktop because they are at remote locations.I have the firewall disabled.Is there something I am missing? I did use pnputil -a *.inf

Hey Andrade2691,
Please refer this kb file and try troubleshooting update installation issue for Windows 8:
Error 1321 or 1309 | Install | CS4, CS5, CS5.5 | Windows

Downloaded drivers from microsoft, now internet not working. please help

Internet connection lost after downloaded drivers updates

Install drivers from motherboard/notebook support pages.
I do not use optional updates, namely MS drivers.
Sometimes removing driver in Device manager and restart may cure your computer.
Consider HW and operating system update. From the point of view of security it is not wise to keep using Windows XP.

Download drivers for another pc, but firefox will only install them

I am trying to download drivers for a new (used) pc I obtained. When I try to download the proper driver, The only option available to me is to install. There is no question of do I want to save, only to install. Is there a setting to overcome this?

Hi bussoboy,
Adding to sarbin's instructions, you should probably run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor from MS . That will show you what is compatible and what is not.

Cannot download drivers from Toshiba websites - download iterrupts

Hi all,
been using tosh and it's support site for years now.
Just recently when i'm downloading drivers from support pages every other one comes down corrupted.
Small ones seem fine but larger ones, anything over 40meg pulls down very quickly and windows reports as corrupted.
This isn't just one machine, XP, WIn7, WIn8, Server 2008, all do this, also at different sites.
We do connect to the web using a corporate proxy.
I have no problems downloading anything from homepage 200-300MB at a time or any other sites.
This is just Toshiba.
I have tried the Europe site and the Australia sites, all do the same.
Unless anyone can offer a reason or solution here then i'm gonna go poke our server team in the eye and blame them.
Is it just me?
Thanks
Gareth

Thanks for your replies.
Still getting 40k download speeds from any toshiba site, our server team have replicated the problem too.
They have even bumped my web traffik past the corporate firewall and it's still happening.
Can download anything from M$ at 1.1meg per sec.
Still bombing out after 1 or 2 mins and getting corrupted zip downloads.
I'll keep trying.
Many Thanks
Gareth

Installation problems installing new Canon MG3170 onto MAC Book Pro with OS X 10.7.5. Tried installing using set up disk. Didn't work. Uninstalled files and downloaded drivers from Canon Website. Didn't work. Uninstalled again and plugged printer usb

Having problems installing Canon MG3170. Anyone have any solutions? Here is what I have tried:-
-Installed from provided Canon disk, firstly with wireless connection, then using USB connection. Printer could not be added because the Macbook returns that the software is not available from Apple for both types of connections.
-Uninstalled software from the Canon disk, checked for software updates, then downloaded drivers (printer and scanner) from Canon Website. Again tried to install using wireless connection then USB connecton. Printer could not be added because Macbook returns that the software is not available from Apple
-Uninstalled drivers downloaded direct from Canon Website and plugged printer into Macbook using USB, Macbook recognised the printer and searched for the software, again Macbook returns that hte software is not available from Apple.
Help!

nrg adjusta,
Sorry it took me a while to repsond, Ive been pretty busy with school and work. But for my hard drive problem, I did hours and hours of more research and trying countless ways of installing and tweaking things in my laptop and absolutely nothing worked that I could do. It was very irritating because I felt like I was so close to fixing it and I was just missing a step somewhere. Though It still boggles me why the disk utility shows a different capacity for the HD's. One thing I'm going to try next is replacing the hard drive cable that goes from the internal HD to the macbook. I read somewhere that sometimes those can go bad over time, and also if you get a new, modern hard drive, sometimes the old cable (for some odd reason) might not be compatible with the new HD. So i want to test it out for myself to see it that is the actual culprit.
http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Hard-Drive-Cable/IF186-018
Once I get the cable and install it I'll let you know the results and if it helped at all.
Have you made any progress on your hard drive at all? If worst comes worst for you, you can probably get a SATA to USB cable and try to reformat it that way (this is the way that worked for me, but the only problem was it wouldn't be recognized when I installed it internally. Thats why i want to try getting the new cable), and if it still wont recognize it after that, you can just leave it outside of your mac, and just boot from that. The only thing that ***** about that is you have this big hard drive handing off the side of your mac when ever you need to use it.
Heres a link for a SATA to USB. this one is good because is compact and protects the HD from damage and most static electricity.

Im still continuing my search for the answer and once i find it (if ever!) I'll post it.

Brother HL-3170CDW won't print in color, has poor print quality. I have downloaded drivers, and firmware from Brother with no success.

Just received this printer, and am unable to have any success with it printing in color. I have downloaded drivers, and firmware from Brother that are for OSX 10.9. Also, the print quality is quite poor. Any suggestions what I should be looking for to resolve this? I feel like I am back in the 90's with Windows 3.1!

You need to go to the brother website and download the driver for your printer. I had the same problem, and resolved it just now. The driver for this particular printer is not a good match for any of the preinstalled printer drivers on os x.

Need to download drivers for canon MP 280 for macbook pro

I need to download drivers for canon MP 280 for macbook pro how do i go ...

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
As you can see, that printer is compatible > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669
To get the drivers for that printer, you just have to add the printer to OS X, following these steps > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11145 OS X will download automatically the driver for your printer after adding it to the printer list. Or you can download the Canon drivers from the Apple website > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL899
You don't need to get drivers from the Canon website. The Apple drivers are sufficient to make the printer work, although you may find software in the Canon website that you may want

Satellite L655 - Unable to download drivers

I'm trying desperately to reinstall a Satellite L655 and getting snookered in all directions.
1. I created recovery disks from the installation on the old, failing hard drive. When I install from these (after watching paint dry for about an hour) it reboots and then fails on first run - "windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware". Forum suggestions about this error did not help.
2. The support partners in South Africa do not have copies of the factory recovery disks. They tell me they download drivers ad hoc from the support site.
3. I tried to clone the old disk (Windows is running on it, after all) but CloneZilla barfed on the bad sectors.
4. I installed Windows from a Microsoft OEM install disk image. It runs, but obviously requires hardware drivers. So I downloaded most of those I need, like LAN card, Intel Chipset, and Sound card. But the WLAN and Display drivers just won't download - these are the largest files (60 MB & 123 MB respectively) and the downloads fail before completion. WELL before completion. I tried several times, using up a significant amount of my bandwidth allocation for the month (we have capped access here in Darkest Africa!)
I tried the downloads from another site I have remote access to, thinking maybe there was something wrong with my broadband - and got the same exact issue. The remote site has Internet throughput speeds of around 6 Mb/s - surely enough for a 120 MB file transfer? Apparently not.
I have tried these downloads from before lunch time, through the afternoon and night and it's now after midnight, all with the same results (I am on a time zone that is right in the middle of the Euro zones).
Toshiba's website does not support download resuming, and there are no mirror sites. What in the blue blazes is a person supposed to do?
*UPDATE*
the 60 MB WLAN driver download to remote site succeeded on the second try. The 120 MB display adaptor driver failed even sooner on second try. I don't see much point in trying again, do you?

Hello Chris
Clean OS installation is very simply and I have done it in the past many times. If your Internet connection is stabile all necessary drivers, tools and utilities can be downloaded from Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
Ive checked it and your Satellite model is listed there and supported for Win7 64bit.
WLAN driver you can find on Toshiba WLAN portal - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
As I already wrote on Toshiba download page you can find all drivers, tools and utilities. The same stuff is included in original Toshiba recovery image. Maybe you don't need some of them but I recommend you to install whole package.
Here is also install order that will help you:
Win7 64bit
TOSHIBA Assist
Synaptics Touch Pad Driver
Realtek Card Reader
TOSHIBA HW Setup Utility
TOSHIBA Supervisor Password Utility
TOSHIBA Web Camera Application
TOSHIBA HDD_SSD Alert
TOSHIBA Disc Creator
Intel Chipset SW Installation Utility
Intel Management Engine Interface
Display Driver
Intel Turbo Boost Technology Driver
Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver
Conexant Audio Driver
TOSHIBA Value Added Package
Atheros LAN Driver
TOSHIBA Software Modem
Conexant Modem Driver
Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba
Wireless LAN Driver
ConfigFree
My advice for you: download all stuff at first and save it on USB stick. After doing this reinstall Windows again and start to install listed stuff following this installation order.
One more thing: according notebook specification your machine should have Realtec WLAN card inside.
If you have more questions you are welcome.

Downloading Drivers during OSD very slow SCCM 2012R2

Hey,
Lately I started experiencing a slow download speed in OSD. I managed to fix the slowness for the wim download with KB2905002 hotfix,
but downloading drivers is still very slow.
Any Ideas or suggestions ??

Is it possible that you're actually getting the PXE response from a DP elsewhere? Have you reviewed the smspxe.log file on your expected DP and seen the session with your test workstation?
PXE has nothing to do with driver delivery. Drivers come from a DP using the normal content distribution process just like everything else in the TS. The only thing delivered by PXE is the boot image.
Have you reviewed the IIS.log files on the DP where the driver files are being downloaded from? Have you tried temporarily enabling anonymous authentication on the DP?
