  • 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 .

  • New laptop can't find the driver software for my ipod. What should I do?

    Previously I've used a family member's computer to sync their songs onto my iPod. We have very different tastes in music so I was excited to finally get my own songs on here. I now own my own laptop and have installed the most recent iTunes. However, whenever I plug the Ipod in it says "Windows needs to install driver software for your Unknown Device" I click locate and install driver software but it doesn't work and remains an Unknown Device and I can't sync songs. Should I have a CD or something for this? I have a 2nd gen. iPod nano so if I ever did get one it's long gone now...

  • How do I reinstall the driver software for my iphone 3gs to my PC?

    Hi there,
    I accidentally deleted the driver software for my iPhone 3GS and don't know how to get it back.
    My computer is a Windows Vista and I can still sync to iTunes and sync music and photos etc. But I want to use internet tethering for an internet connection on my computer which I have done previously. One day I was mucking around with the tethering and I accidentally deleted my iPhone from the computer. I went to reinstall it and and it searched for the driver software which it could not find on my computer, after this it asked for a disc so it could search for the software on that. My phone never came with a disc originally and I didn't have this problem when I first got my iPhone and initially installed it. So I chose the option that I didn't have a disc, the next options are to browse manually or search for another option and both of those failed (I chose a manual locotion on the computer where I thought it might be which was: (C:)/Program Files/Common Files/Apple/Mobile Device Support/Drivers, but this didn't work.) The computer still recognises my phone and all it just needs to install it.
    I would be pleased if I could get any sort of reply guys.

    Probably only way is to call Applecare in your country and they may tell you who holds the lock. IIRC you IMEI and serial # are required

  • Windows needs to install driver software for your unknown device

    Windows needs to install driver software for your unknown device
    This is the message that i get when ever i plug in my ipod touch to my computer. the computer is running on vista. i dont know what to do, because i tried to follow the steps suggested, but it didnt work, the computer said that it couldnt find anything and to check with apple for some driver software. HELP!!!

    The iPod touch and iPhone do not use the same type of USB drivers that other Apple devices use. They both require Apple Mobile Device Services to be running. Using this tech article as a guide, you can easily fix this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567

  • Cannot install driver software for N8-00, Windows ...

    I'm having a lot of trouble getting any Nokia software to work on my PC.
    (This was the same for my previous Nokia 2730.)
    The first time I connected my N8-00 to my PC, running Windows Vista 32, my PC worked out it was an N8-00 and a window appeared asking me to confirm AutoPlay settings - there was a checkbox (which I checked), but no OK button.
    I could go to Start > Computer and see the N8-00 there though.
    I opened the device and found the Ovi Suite Installer and tried to run that (because the downloaded version didn't work either - I'll start another thread about my troubles with Ovi Suite) but it didn't work.
    I then removed the phone from my PC.
    Now whenever I connect my phone to my PC Windows tries to install the N8-00 drivers and fails, giving me these messages:
    "Found New Hardware - Nokia N8-00"
    "Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device
    Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
    Nokia N8-00 USB Phone Parent
    No such interface supported
    If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software."
    Obviously not being able to connect my phone to my PC is very frustrating and restricts many of the features I wish to use.
    Help in solving this issue would be very greatly appreciated.

    Could someone of you resolve the problem about the connection of N8-00 to PC??
    I have the same problem and I can't resolve it. 
    Best regards!!

  • There must be a real solution to "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"

    "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"
    I've spent hours researching this error - Seems like many people have the same issue although there is no difinitive fix or known cause.
    I'm hoping someone here has an answer.
    Windows 7 Home Premium x64 OEM (HP)
    This is not an upgraded Vista system.
    It's not a specific driver related issue as it's the same response/effect be it graphics/chip set/usb/printer drivers.
    Please dont suggest to flatten and re-install or run a repair install - It's not an option, I only have remote access to the unit
    as it's currently in field use.
    This is a machine specific issue - identical machine purchased at the same time and configured the same has no issue.
    So the story.
    User has been fine for weeks - no hardware of software changes except Windows Updates.
    A Camera/USB connection that was working no longer does.
    Tried in all USB ports
    Plug in - windows announces found new hardware, tries to install drivers then fails
    with "Windows found software for your device but encountered an error installing ...."
    Device manager finds and identifies device although it is in the 'Unknown Device" category.
    Manually updating drivers via search/internet or point directly at a driver has exactly the same effect.
    Thinking this was just the camera drivers - I researched and downloaded new drivers from camera manufacturers sites
    Fuji and Canon.
    Same effect.
    Deleted/uninstalled drivers completely, deleted/uninstalled all USB root hub and USB devices (hidden and visible)
    SFC /Scannow finds no error
    Cold boot finds USB and chipset(?) devices on boot attempts to reinstall then we get
     "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"
    So now I have no usb devices at all - memory stick/card reader/printer...... nada.
    in fact if I try to update any device driver I get the same message generated.
    Restore point does not help either. 
    After much trawling I found reference to a permisions issue and stale driver cache data.
    (This is using an administrator account - not user with admin permissions?)
    I'm willing to try anything at this time
    I deleted the infcache.1 and other .dat files under c:\windows\system32\driverstore
    Copied the usb  .inf and .pnf from the appropriate FileRepository directory into c:\windows\inf
    Uninstalled all the usb/unkown devices from device manager again.
    Rebooted
    Takes a little longer to boot as I take it it's rebuilding the driver cache then
    a very short hurrah!!!
    I can now use usb memory card and pen drives - no issue
    Plug in a camera or printer...
    "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"
    Several attempt at this trying different driver versions.
    It should not be vendor specific, the other field machine that works is using Microsoft drivers for these devices.
    I even copied the drivers from one machine to the other - repeated everything above...
    "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"
    And then the nail in my sanity
    Try windows update....
    Reboot
    "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"
    but this time its different.
    The device it thinks it cannot install is the generic MTP-PTP drivers  (Photo Transfer Protocol -so am I getting somewhere)
    so it still finds but cannot install.
    The cameras are always found but appear as 'unknown devices' and cannot be accessed
    Uninstall all USB/unkown again - reboot..
    Same message and this time I've lost all the USB again.
    Restore point to before Win Update gets me USB back again although I still have no cameras  - so theres an update issue as well.
    This has to be tied down to a file access/ registry problem although I'm loath to go cutting about without some guidance.
    I'm no great believer in 'registry cleaners' unless anyone can point to a definitive/no ad's/sales version that really works.
    As I said above, flattening/rebuild at this time is not an option - the user is not best pleased and I'm completley stumped.
    If anyone has experienced(manu of you have) and fixed(still to find one) this issue please let me know how as soon as possible.
    Chris 

    I know I am replying to an old thread - but I have the answer and resolved this error, and since this message comes up first in search results, and part of my answer came from this thread, I wanted to help someone else as this took an extra
    12 hours and a lot of technical insight to resolve. See below for detailed explanation that others ask for above.
    My original issue was that iTunes didnt reinstall. generating this error that said I am trying to access an unavailable network resource and to browse to find itunes64setup (again). This may partly have been due to me deleting old install version folders.
    Research led me to completely uninstall apple products and reinstall per their instruction and fixed the issue with iTunes. see
    Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support
    The SAME error I had while updating itunes recurred while uninstalling it from my Windows 7 SP1 system...so I went to microsoft Fixit and attempted to correct and it properly uninstalled iTunes for me, which allowed the reinstall.
    What didnt work was my USB web root/ root hub, which partly involved my older system and USB 1.0, and the delete/reinstall existing drivers with the c:\windows\winsxs folder as source of drivers (thank you Magon Liu!!!) which I had to figure out what/why
    and how.
    Then I had an intel chipset issue...my new Iphone wasn't recognizing in plug and play, and there was an error with installing the device drivers for my new iphone 6. Manual applications didn't work, even though a generic device showed in control panel -
    device manager with a yellow !
    Per above blog answer - I tried to remove and reinstall my USB controller or update the drivers (I have an Alienware M15 laptop - a few years old.) I discovered that the USB host controller - an Intel(R) 5 Series / 3400 Series Chipset family USB Enhanced
    Host controller - (port) was not covered by current Intel chipset programs which are Series 6 and later, but did have an update (8/20/2009 v9.1.1.1020)  that supported USB 2.0 (and therefore 3.0 backwards compatibility which as an issue with my new iPhone
    and some USB thumb drives.) To find this I had to look at the Support - Downloads and Drivers - browse for drivers and somewhere found an option to look for older no longer supported drivers. I found infinst_autol.exe for my case.
    Once downloaded I tried to install and failed. Found the log in C:\Intel\Logs and contains:
    [InstallDev]
              [Device]
                Driver = C:\Users\DAVIDS~1\AppData\Local\Temp\IPMx7\WIN7\ibexusb.inf
                INF = C:\Users\DAVIDS~1\AppData\Local\Temp\IPMx7\WIN7\ibexusb.inf
                Installed INF =
                Previous driver package =
    !           Warning 0xE0000235: DriverPackageGetPath failed.
                Difx = 64 bit
    Execute command: C:\Users\DAVIDS~1\AppData\Local\Temp\IPMx7\x64\Difx64.exe -DriverInf "C:\Users\DAVIDS~1\AppData\Local\Temp\IPMx7\WIN7\ibexusb.inf" -Flags 20 -KeyPath "Software\Intel\Difx64"
                Using RegDeleteKeyEx
    !!!         ERROR 0xE0000246: DriverPackageInstall generated an unexpected error
     HERE'S THE ADDED EXPLANATION TO BRIAN'S POST THAT EXPLAINS THE SECURITY ISSUE:
    This turned out to be an error for two reasons. First, after manually running the command in an "run as administrator" window (same error result), thinking it related to my anti-virus (turned that off/disabled firewall and A/V), and from this thread
    granting my user administrative rights to files in an install folder and trying to reinstall inf files and drivers from C:\Windows\winsxs vs my copied infinst_autol.exe expansion (as found from log in C:\Users\David Samuels\AppData\Local\Temp\IPMx7\WIN7 folder).....that
    there was an easier solution as the reason this error actually happens is a permissions problem.
    To access the proper windows system folders - you have to be the TrustedInstaller service - not just in the administrator group...or you have to be the actual "Administrator" account. To become actual administrator on
    your own laptop, Open a command window "run CMD.exe as administrator", then execute command
    > net user administrator /active:yes
    This creates a local PC Administrator account with no password. Coincidentally it has proper permissions to windows directories for installing drivers. Log in as this user, go to device manager and update the USB hub and any other drivers. if updating the
    USB root - it doesn't replace it right away as the system cant disable the currently resident in memory "running" driver  - you have to update, then restart the system, log in as administrator and repeat at the next lower layer that has issues.
    Once completed - log in as yourself again and disable the administrator account in a command window with > net user administrator /active:no
    This in my case enabled all my USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices on my originally only USB 1.0 laptop and everything else works properly again - I hope this helps many of you to resolve your own issues that were difficult to find and resolve and that got as far as
    this thread. Good luck!

  • Is it possible to make a driver software for foreign hardwere to see it in MAX?

    Is it possible to make a driver software for foreign hardwere to see it in MAX? I have IoTech GPIB controller and a ni style driver but this instrument si not seen in MAX and can not be operated as VISA instrument (it works in LabView by GPIB write or read icon). I think on such a diploma work for student but do not know if it is possible to do. Please send an advise to [email protected]

    I don't think that the inability of MAX to see the IOTech GPIB card has anything to do with not being able to use VISA. If IOTech supplied a VISA driver for their card, it should work. I would contact tech support at IOTech to see if they can't find a solution to your problem.
