Driver issue-problem installing hardware

I installed the latest update to iTunes yesterday. Now, when I connect my IPod to my PC, I get the following error message:
"There was a problem installing this hardware-apple IPOD USB driver-An Error Occurred During the Installation of this device. The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request."
I have searched for an updated driver, but I keep getting the same error message as above. The iPod shows up in device manager, but with a yellow exclamation point next to it. It says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)." I've also reinstalled the driver.cab file from my Windows installation disk, but none of this has resolved this issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think I've resolved this issue. I used SYSTEM RESTORE to find a restore point from before I upgraded iTunes. When I went to start iTunes after restoration it didn't want to start, so I had to go to the Apple web site to download and reinstall iTunes. It seems to be working now though some of my music didn't initially sync from the library to my iPod because my computer wasn't "authorized" according to the error message. All I did then was attempt to play oe of the songs that wouldn't sync and I got prompted for my iTunes password, plugged that in and everything seems to have synced just fine.

  • HARD DISK DRIVER ISSUES WHILE INSTALLING WINDOWS 8

    I am trying to install windows 8 on my PC, but it is asking for hard drive drivers. I have installed windows 8 before with no issues on the same PC with same configuration, but now I am facing these driver issues. Currently  I am running Win7 as i cannot
    reinstall Win8.
    Config:
    Gigabyte Motherboard 945G with Intel Core2duo8400 3ghz,
    Intel(R) 82801G(ICH7) FAMILY CHIP SET,
    4gb Ram, Nvidia graphic card, Seagate hard disk 160Gb.

    Hi,
    I doubt that the hard drive is either a SATA drive or in a RAID setup, you might need to install RAID controller drivers or SATA driver during the installation.
    I also suggest you refer to the following link and check if it can give some hints.

  • HP Pavilion DV6545EG, Ricoh 5-in-1 card reader - problem installing hardware!

    Hello,  
    For a few days now I've been trying to install the hardware specified in the title with no success, therefore I am asking for some help in trying to solve this issue.  
    Before I start describing the situation, there is some info about the notebook I'm posting from:  
    My notebook is currently running on Windows 7 64-bit
     s/n:[Personal Information Removed]
    p/n: GP631EA#ABD  
    I've tried installing some driver packages but none of them helped.
    After windows installation finished, and a few times after, the device was marked as not installed in device manager (windows could not find proper drivers to install). When I plugged the sd card in it would say it wasn't formatted, I tried formatting it and recieved an error saying "unable to format", upon checking the device manager I could notice the device was not installed properly. After finding and installing some driver packages (source: hp support site) the message in device manager disappeared, but the device still didn't work, Now even if I uninstalled all drivers the hardware does not appear at all in the device manager. A few times I've experienced serious crashes when trying to install the drivers.
    I've tried installing drivers as admin, in compatibility mode, using windows update yet nothing helped.
    I've done the steps mentioned above a few times trying different approaches - nothing worked.
    I can honestly say that I am at my wits end concerning this issue, and in much need of help! It would be appreciated!

  • CD Driver Issues after installing 11.1.4

    After installing Itunes 11.1.4, my HP computer, running Windows 7, could no longer find the CD drive.  Upon investigation, someone suggested I update my registry to remove some entries.  I did the following:
    Start, enter regedit in search bar,
    Open regedit
    Left hand menus click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    SYSTEM
    CURRENT CONTROL SET
    CONTROL
    CLASS
    Then need to find  {4D36E965-E325........... (are more figures but not needed)
    on right hand window see if there is an upper filter or lower filter.....right click and delete the values if either are there.
    RESTART...
    This worked, but now Itunes complains every time I open it, saying some registry settings are missing for my CD drivers.  I've used Itunes on this computer succssessfully for years, until this upgrade.  Apple, whatever you did, please undo it.  Horrible release...

  • Hard drive issue since installing new graphics card

    Hello,
    I've just bought and installed an MSI GeForce GTX 770 GAMING to replace my old SAPPHIRE HD 4890.
    I uninstalled the ATI drivers and the version of PhysX already on the machine and have installed the latest drivers from the NVIDIA site and when I try to load Windows the hard drive appears to spin down and Windows just sits there (animations continue and I can move the mouse around). I can get into safe mode without a problem.
    The rest of my setup is:
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OS
    Dell 2408WFP monitor
    Antec Three Hundred case
    750W Be Quiet Dark Power Pro power supply
    6 GB Corsair DDR3 RAM
    Gigabyte EX58-UD4 motherboard
    Intel Core i7 920 D0 processor
    640 GB Western Digital Caviar Black hard drive
    Samsung SH-223B optical drive
    I have the latest BIOS update for my motherboard.
    I was a bit concerned that a power supply issue was causing the hard drive to spin down when the graphics card comes into use, i.e. as soon as Windows starts. I can get to the login screen before it happens.
    I wondered if the fact that the card connects to the power supply via two 12V x 20A connections and the graphics card requires 42A might be the problem. I think I misunderstood this when I checked the power supply initially as the table in the manual shows 60A total between all 12V connections, but I didn't notice that the individual connections are only 20A. Hope that makes sense, I'm a bit new to this!
    If I need a new power supply can someone suggest one? If not can anyone think of any other reason for this problem?
    I would appreciate any advice.

    The card itself doesn't require 42A on +12v. These requirements are for an entire system with a GTX770. While we recommend single rail psus your one should still be sufficient.
    Use >>Driver Fusion<< in safemode to safely remove the AMD and Nvidia driver and reboot. Then install Nvidia latest: http://www.nvidia.com/object/win8-win7-winvista-64bit-320.49-whql-driver.html

  • Driver Issues After Installing Windows 8.1 Preview

    Yesterday, I downloaded and installed Windows 8.1 Pro Preview, which I now regret because my wireless connection no longer works on my Lenovo IdeaPad N580.  I check the status of the driver for the Realtek RTL 8192DE wireless LAN, and I get a message that I have the latest driver.  However, when I check the status the the Realtek device, the system says it is disabled.  I tried to enable it within BIOS as I read somewhere that that is the way to fix the problem, but I cannot find any reference to the wireless LAN device in BIOS.  This problem has apparently happened a number of times on a number of brands of computers.  Nothing I've read that I've tried works.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    The only way I can think of is to erase your hdd and fresh install Windows 8 or 7.

  • Problems installing hardware (zen Xt

    I have a Zen Xtra with the latest playsforsure firmware installed on it. Whenever I use it on my dad's computer, it works fine and I can transfer music instantly, but I can't use it at all on my computer...when I plug it in, Windows recognizes that a new hardware has been detected, but it can't install the drivers. I don't have the original installation disc, so I downloaded the drivers off this website, but it doesn't do anything at all. Windows recognizes the hardware but can't install it. Any Ideas? by the way, my dad and I both have XP. Thanks a lot.

    rush40 wrote:I have the same problem with Windows 98 here in Norway:-(
    Did you also load the PlaysForSure/MTP firmware onto the player? That firmware is only suitable if you are running WindowsXP (SP or higher) and Windows Media Player 0. With that firmware, your player will not work on Windows 98.

  • HP 15 freezing and suspected driver issue but installed drivers!

    Hi there! Ive been having this issue ever since I bought this computer! Sometimes the video goes haywire and freezes all scratchy sideways like. Then other times when it crashes I get this most infamous warning sign popping up before it reboots itself!! "system thread not handled atikmdag.sys" So I googled that and all kinds of things about drivers came up. So I tried everything I could understand and ya, should be solved but apparently its not so now Im here. How are you? I could be better, getting nasty urges to destroy this computer! Holding on for dear life, in a life raft, pls save me! Only crashes when Im watching some videos or got multiple windows open. Cant handle nothing I guess! Thought A8's werent that bad once upon a time. I even replaced the computer right after I bought it while it was still on warranty! Was having the same issue on the old I had. Normally a recovery isnt that hard for me to handle but that may have been a few operating systems ago.

  • Problems installing windows on a clean Mac Pro internal drive - issues and questions

    Hey,
    I have a Mac Pro mid 2010 with the following drive configurations:
    3x120GB SSD in a RAID-0 as Boot (OS X 10.8.6) and SSD Scratch (working files)
    3x4TB HDD in a RAID-0 as Master (data) and HDD Scratch (downloads)
    1x100GB SSD (Spare...to install windows on)
    I have literally tried every possible way of installing Windows 8 on that single SSD...both using bootcamp and without.
    I can get it installed and working, install all the drivers/updates/software...involving multiple reboots into windows. Everything seems fine, and i shut down and boot into OS X, which works perfectly as expected. BUT, when i try and boot into Windows again (using <option> key at startupand selecting the windows volume, called "EFI Boot" which i did not name) I can log in and start using apps and then 20-40 seconds later i get the BSOD.
    I can't for the life of me figure out why.
    It's the easiest thing in the world to partition a single OSX drive to boot windows ON THE SAME DRIVE, but i can't seem to boot stably into a standaloe internal drive.
    NOTE: I prepare the Windows drive by formatting the entire thing to "Free Space" using disk utility in Mac OS X, and can see that there are no partitions (EFI or otherwise) on the drive. Then I pull all the other drives except the target drive, reboot with a Windows 8 USB drive (created by BootCamp Assistant on my macbook air, because apparently some genius thought that task was too complicated for a Mac Pro...jks) and install from there.  The funny part is that i can pick out the target drive in the windows setup, it's registering as 1 disk/partition of UNALLOCATED SPACE, as expected, but there is a warming that windows cannot be installed on this drive because my computer does not support booting to this disk, and that i should check that it's controller is enabled in the BIOS.....which to the best of my knowledge is not used by intel-macs, which use UEFI. But i can still click "Next", so I do and install Windows and boot to this drive, restarting and installing software updates and drivers as mentioned above.
    The BSOD seems to pop up only after i've rebooted to Mac OS X and then try to go BACK to Windows 8.
    The version of windows 8 and install USB were checked using my macbook air, and they work flawlessly. ASLO that warning about not being able to boot to the drive during windows setup isn't present.
    I'm wondering if the fact the the RAID volumes are a software RAID, using Disk Utility in OSX is causing windows some issues...which makes no sense.
    I'll keep playing, but I'm not confident I'm ever going to find a solution.
    Somebody be my hero...

    Hey Hatter,
    Another question for you:
    I can't seem to use system preferences>>startup disk to boot into windows. When I select windows and then restart i get a black "BIOS-like" screen which then cuts out and a message is displayed that says "there is no bootable disc"
    This stumped me, because I know i can boot into windows from the boot screen (holding down option and selecting "EFI Boot" which apparently is what my windows drive is called.
    because of my Mac OSX Raid arrays, i had to install windows by formatting a drive to HFS+ (GUID) pratition table, then repartition to "Free Space" then using an install usb that i made with my macbook air, pull all my other drives and install by selecting the usb drive to boot from.
    I went into disk utility to see if I can repair the disk, and disk utility says that the disk has to EFI partition and that we won;t be able to boot from it....which is very confusing because i can boot from it.
    Windows 8 apparentl;y uses UEFI from my research....so i'm utterly stumped.
    I beleive this is also the cause of my newly purchased graphics card Mac Edition HD 7950, throwing me a BSOD when i select to boot in windows from the boot menu...
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Ogre 3D 'glGetString' Problem, May Be Driver Issue

    Hello!
    I'm relatively new to Arch Linux, all I did till now was install it and get X running with the 'awesome' window manager. I must say, I like it, especially pacman, AUR and ABS.
    I'm a hobbyist programmer and I generally write graphics applications (games) with Ogre 3D. I decided to get Ogre 3D and build it. I got the latest SVN HEAD, and built it, it built fine. However, when I run a sample, I get the following error (which occurs right when it tries to create the GLX subsystem):-
    OgreGLSupport.cpp:57: virtual void Ogre::GLSupport::initialiseExtensions: Assertion `pcVer && "Problems getting GL version string using glGetString"' failed
    I've run Ogre 3D applications both on Windows and Ubuntu on this very same laptop, so I don't think its a hardware issue. It may be a driver issue though. I have 'xf86-video-intel' installed, and hotplugging turned off with "AutoAddDevices" "False" in xorg.conf. 'lspci | grep VGA' gives:-
    Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
    It is possible that it's an Ogre specific issue, but I still thought I'd mention it here because it could also have to do with drivers and other configuration stuff.
    To check whether glGetString() works, I took the program from the second NeHe tutorial and modified it to spit out glGetString results, and it says "Vendor: Mesa Project, Renderer: Software Rasterizer, Version: 2.1 Mesa 7.2".
    I've also run some other graphics applications (the Bullet physics engine (which I just built today) demos), and they run much slower than how they did on Windows and Ubuntu.
    Any ideas what the problem is and how to fix it?
    Thanks for your help!

    Humnn... I don't know. How I "solved" it today: downgrade xorg-server to 1.5.3, catalyst to 9.4 and kernel to 2.6.28. Now I have my game working again. I think it was only a problem with the driver... I'll try to upgrade asap.

  • Problem Installing AMD Proprietary Driver.

    Hey Guys,
        As the title says I am having a problem installing the amd catalyst beta driver. I tried installing it and it completely screwed everything up. Now I have a fresh install of Arch, and the only packages that I have installed apart from xf86-video-ati and xorg are enlightenment, lightdm, gnome, base-devel, and firefox. Im not sure what is wrong. The only thing it mentioned in the log was something about needing 3.8 headers, but if i am not mistaken Arch has 3.12. I also installed it on a linux mint system with 3.11 and it went without any issue. I believe that it is supposed to work on 3.12, but im not sure what I need to get it to install on my system. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Sorry for getting back so late. @HalosGhost I have always used the one that came directly from AMD and since this is my first time using Arch i did not know that I would run into problems trying to use it. As far as the --force thing goes. I had a "What the Hell Moment". @Archivist: catalyst-test worked, but my sound via HDMI does not.
    aplay -l shows my HDMI:
    **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
    card 0: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]

    I also tried  aplay -D plughw:0,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav and it worked without any error.
    I then tried creation an .asoundrc file like the wiki said https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … s_not_work and that did not work either.

  • Webcam and usb drive not working--possible hardware issue?

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a Lenovo ideapad U510 with Windows 8. I bought it as a returned machine but the Staples employee didn't know why it had been returned and thought it was just because the buyer didn't like Windows 8. When I first set it up I kept getting an error message that my usb device was not recognized, even though I had never plugged anything in. As I was leaving the country, I dismissed the issue and decided to deal w/ it when I returned to the US, since my other usb drives worked fine.
    However, later my integrated webcam stopped working as well. It worked one time when I used Skype but not after that. I checked online forums for possible solutions, and most said I needed to download an updated driver. I didn't think this was the issue b/c when I went to device manager and tried to update my driver for the easycam, it said I already had the most up-to-date driver. I have uninstalled drivers, downloaded and re-installed drivers, and even refreshed my computer, all to no avail.
    Here are the error messages I receive:
    In device manager>view>show hidden devices>imaging devices>Lenovo EasyCamera, device status says
    Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)
    To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer.
    When I try to run the Bison setup: Lenovo EasyCam has not found! 
    When I try to run the Chicony setup: Setup failed! Please Plugin camera and install driver again!
    So, I'm thinking it's not a driver issue, but I'm not a techie and don't know what else it could be. Wondering if the usb problem and webcam problem are connected. Found another forum post that said maybe the webcam is not connected to the motherboard...suggestions?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    I am certain it is a hardware issue from the problems youre describing. I would contact Lenovo. They may try to have you purchase their "software" support, but don't let them. I had wifi issues and they tried to make me spend $90 because I was too lazy to figure it out on my own.
    Make sure when you're calling support that you tell them that you restored to factory default and before you send your computer in, back up your data. Also tell them that it's a new computer and you do not want to pay for shipping... They will most likely comp you shipping in both directions.

  • Problem installing HP Printer driver hplip-3.10.9

    I am trying to install the printer driver for my HP Laserjet p1102w (hplip-3.10.9.run).  The program starts then stops with the error "TabError:  inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentatiion".   I did some research,  but it could not resolve the issue. I think it has something to do with the way python handles tabs?? I did not have any problem installing this on my Fedora 13 desktop. Not sure how to proceed.
    Thanks!

    I have used the suggestions given, and I still can't get the printer driver to load. I did check the /var/log/cups/error-Log and found th following:
