Drivers needed for iPod to work?

A couple of days ago, I received a free iPod Nano (2GB) from a promotional offer with my bank. There was no installation software disk included. From reading on the site, this is normal because everything you "need" is supposed to be in the latest version of iTunes.
When I first plug my iPod into my computer, Windows recoginizes it as an iPod and prompts me to go through the new hardware installation. The installation then fails because no driver software is found/available for the iPod.
I have the latest version of iTunes. ITunes will open and all my music is there and playable. My iPod just will not show. My iPod is fully charged. I have gone through all of the 5 R's multiple times including the 6th R, which is REALLY FRUSTRATED!!!
Basically, I need a software driver so that Windows will recognize my iPod. I have read here that iTunes has them or something? However, iTunes will not recognize my iPod because it's simply just not there. Device Manager in Windows has the yellow exclamation point on the iPod.
I have tried multiple USB ports. I have tried upgrading all of my Windows utilities up to date. I've never really had any problems with anything installing/connecting to my computer until now. I'm really starting to disbelieve all of the iPod hype and am getting extremely frustrated with it because it's not seeming very intuitive or user friendly.
Any help getting Windows to recognize/install the software for the iPod will be extremely appreciated. I'm getting ready to eBay the thing because it's really becoming a headache. Maybe you could help me realize that iPods are where it's at and help me solve this dilema! Thanks!
Don't know if this helps, but my computer specs are:
Windows XP
AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2500+ (1.83 GHz)
1 GB RAM
80 GB hard drive
Self-built Windows XP

Do you have Windows XP with Service Pack 2, or just Windows XP?
I believe SP2 is a requirement, as it contains the needed USB drivers for Windows.

Hi
I have just bought a HP pavilion touchsmart 14-n056ea that came with windows 8.

Windows 7 Drivers Needed for Deskjet 6540

Hello,
We use 2 Deskjet 6540's @ my office. I have the windows 7 RC, and cannot get it to load drivers for the printers. I download the vista driver, and it says This driver is not for windows 7.and does not give me a "so what" option.
any help would be appreciated.
Keith

As of today Sept 16, 2011 the printer drivers from windows 7 work. It still requires some effort.
1) let the printer install (if it is already and the following steps do not work remove the device and let it reinstall)
2) right click on the printer in "Devices and Printers"
3) select "Printer Properties"
4) go to the "Device Setting" tab in the top row in the middle
5) under "installable options" click after the duplexer options and select "installed" from the drop down menu
6) click "OK"
I take no responsibility it this does not work for you, it work for me on Window 7 SP1

Drivers needed for windows os upgrade?

I'm updating my os from win98 to win2k.
do i need new drivers for pci-7344, pci-6110e and ni-5411 (for pci). Labview version, i believe is 5.1, hardware and software purchased in summer 2001.
Thanks,

Hello.
There are updated versions of the drivers you would need for those boards available on the web, but your LabVIEW version is very old and thus will not be compatible with those driver versions.
Hopefully you have the CDs with your older driver versions on them. Many drivers are available on the web at:
http://www.ni.com/downloads/
You will need NI-Motion, NI-DAQ, and NI-FGEN for the 5411.

Windows 7 drivers needed for L170

Windows XP drivers needed for L305-S5955

I downloaded the ones listed on the support site, but I still need sound drivers, LAN drivers (not Wi-Fi, that works fine) and some other device (listed as 'SM Bus Controller' in Device Manager). Any help? Thanks!

Satellite L305-S5955
In case there are drivers you cannot locate on the US site,...
Your model is in part-number family PSLB8U, which corresponds to part-number family PSLB8E in European Toshiba machines.
Go to the European download site and look up Satellite L300 with Short Model No. PSLB8E.
(The SM Bus Controller is the chipset software.)

[WNTFIX]Enabling Chromium password sync, what's needed for it to work?

Hello, I'm using Google Chrome in multiple machines, some of them running Windows OSs. In my Arch machines I'm using Chromium from the extra repository, I have different environments but my Gnome based one is quite complete yet I still can't sync passwords.
What's needed for it to be able to sync passwords? Maybe some compile time flag?
Here is a list of all the packages I have installed in the Gnome machine, in case I'm missing something: http://pastebin.com/19AQhQsj
Last edited by MickST (2011-03-20 23:27:57)

Huh, that's strange. I checked it on my browser and there's doesn't seem to be a password sync option under the sync settings. A short Google expedition reveals that I'm not the only one. Luckily, the first comment explains it. It was recently disabled by default because it doesn't play nice with GNOME Keyring. To enable it, start chromium with the --enable-password-sync and --password-store=basic flags. Haven't tried it my self, though, as I don't really need that particular feature.

64-bit drivers needed for 7900

I just purchased and installed a MSI NX7900GTX-T2D512E video card. This is my first experience with MSI.
I put in the installation CD and was told that my operating system isn't supported. So, not only don't I have drivers but I don't get any of the bundled software either.
My operating system is Microsoft Windows XP Pro 64.
I've searched for drivers but haven't found any yet. I don't see ANY on the MSI site for 64-bit. Before I RMA this thing, can someone help me make it work?
Additional info:
ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard
AMD Athlon 64x2 CPU (dual core)
(2) Kingston PC3200 1GB DIMM
WD-Raptor 10,000RPM 74GB HD connected as JBOD in SATA RAID controller as boot drive
I'm not finished building this thing and need to resolve this to either replace the video card wtih one that is compatible or make this one work so I can move on.
Thanks in advance!

Loader,
Just to add to what DOK said, you always want to get the latest nVidia nForce as well as ForceWare Drivers for your Mobo and Vid Card.
Take Care,
Richard
Any pointers?
I have the new BIOS for the motherboard so it will work with the dual-core processor correctly. I also have the new nVidia drivers.
The directions say to go to the new 665 drivers before updating the BIOS. I can't figure out how to install those.
So I said the hell with it and tried to update the BIOS. There is no BIOS update tool on the ASUS CD as it describes in the manual and the FlashBIOS tool that allows you to do it from Windows doesn't seem to be available either (I suspect it's because I'm running the 64-bit version.
So, I'm stuck.
I'm not a rookie at this, but I's starting to feel like one!

English drivers needed for SB AWE32 CT3990

Hello Everybody,
I just bought a used SB AWE32 this week, but I am having 2 problems with it... First of all its all installation disks are in German language. I dont speak German. I need the English version. Second thing: the owner, who sold it to me didn't give me the Plug and play configuration manager disk 2, only the first one. (...and he doesn't find it anywhere...) The first disk alone doesn't work...
So my question is if is there anybody, who has the same card with the English install disks such as the accessories, drivers, utilities, etc disks both for the DOS/win3., and for the Win95. I'd be very glad for any help.
Those short stuffs that are available for download here at creative support site aren't enough, I'd like to have the original software pack somehow.
Thanx very much in advantage for any help.
Peter

Vista Drivers Needed for PC CAM

Hello everyone,I need some assistance. I can't get my PC CAM 550 working with VISTA 32 Bit'scould someone please assist. I need drivers for PC CAM 550. Thank you?

Toshiba does not support anything but windows XP pro and Vista 32bit OS's. There are some severe problems with this model of laptop (the P100) in regards to drivers (even under the supported vista 32bit. They fixed the graphics stuttering problem with the 4.2 bios release).
You can try a driver from laptopdrivers2go or from some other site. As long as they state they support Nvidia Geforce GO 7900GS and not just Nvidia Geforce 7900GS they should work ok. Just keep an eye on your GPU temperature. If it gets too hot under your ESC key where the card is or you cannot feel any good airflow from the vents on that side try a different driver. And you don't need to worry that much about melting your card as your computer will turn off from overheating first. Just be careful and if that happens uninstall the drivers immediately and try a new set.
Other than that you would have to get a new laptop.
Hope it works for you.

Older Drivers needed for SB0790

Hi,
I need the old drivers for this sound card. I have a program that does not want to work with the new drivers and hence I need the old drivers
Thanks
Sravani

I guess that SB0790 is a Soundblaster card, right? If it's a very old card, your plight seems hopeless. Before giving up, though, I would try doing some Web searches. Suggested searches: SB0790, SB0790 drivers, Soundblaster drivers, old Soundblaster drivers, driver archi'ves, old Creative drivers, etc. If you have the driver version number of the old drivers, you could search for that. The following site lets you do a driver search, but I'm pretty sure you're not going to find very-old drivers with it:?http://drivers.softpedia.com/progFinder?The drivers.softpedia site has many drivers, but I think they are all new, or fairly new.

Hi:
HP only provides support and drivers for their consumer PC's for the current Windows operating system in effect at the time of production, which is W8 at this time.
Customers wanting support for other windows operating systems need to purchase a business PC.
The good news for you is that we can find W7 x64 drivers from other models with the same hardware that should also work on yours.
I'm thnking all of the W7 x64 drivers from this similar model will also work on yours.

Then click on the Details tab at the top of the device window.
Now you see a Property drop down list and it is defaulted to Device Description.
Drop down on that and select the second item on the list (Hardware ID's).
Post the top string of characters that you see in the window.
