Fifth Gen Driver issue

Hello all,
My fifth gen ipod was working fine up untill a couple of weeks ago when my pc started to display it as an unknown usb device. the only piece of info I get from the pc is to reconnect the device and if the problem persists replace the device. now if i can get away with not replacing my ipod that would be great but i dont know how to fix this problem. upon trying to update the driver i get 'most recent driver intalled' and upon searching for the drive on the pc i get 'no driver for this device found'. i'v tried re-formatting but the pc wont allow me to it untill it recognises the device and i've removed and reinstalled itunes etc. the ipod works fine other than this issue.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

  • IPod Touch 4th gen driver issues

    My iTouch and every other iPod I have is not syncing via iTunes. I uninstalled the drivers according to Apple's guide on how to fix the issue, but it made it worse. Now with evey iPod I plug in, it doesn't see it. How do I get these drivers back onto my Windows 7 computer? I've already tried device manager and it doesn't show the "Apple Mobile Device" driver.

    Hello!.
    Maybe it's a problem with the Apple Mobile Device service that is not executing or is deactivated. Maybe it was caused by error.
    Go to Start > Control Panel > System and security > Admin Tools > Services
    Or
    Start > Execute > and type "services.msc" (without ")
    Search for "Apple Mobile Device" service. Maybe it is deactivated, if so, click on Run service. This might solve your problem. Hope this helps you.
    PS: Sorry for my bad english.
    Greetings!

  • Apple iPod USB Device driver issue on Win XP - syncing shuffle 2nd gen.

    Hello fellow iPod shuffle users. Any of you run into this problem using the following configurations? Any advise/recommendations/workarounds much appreciated as I've burned 3 days on this issue and I'm still stonewalled.
    I personally think it's a device driver issue/bug and am searching for a way to update my Apple iPod USB device driver for Win XP. Two brand new ipod shuffles (received for Christmas 2008) are both behaving this way, so the problem most likely points to a global software issue more-so than to shuffle hardware issue.
    PROBLEM STATEMENT: Driver data i/o streaming issue does not allow shuffle to sync data with iTunes after initial sync (i.e. reading the content of the shuffle is good, but writing modified content fails). Posted error message "The ipod ... cannot be synced. Required disk cannot be found". After cracking the hood on my device driver, the problem seems to point to the Apple iPod USB device driver for Win XP. Driver will recognize the shuffle and read to it, but subsequent write attempts will result in device driver balks that "this device cannot start (code 10)".
    ATTEMPTED WORKAROUNDS:
    *Read All "How to Get Started Manuals" to make sure I was using the right technique for syncing my two shuffles from within iTunes... tried and failed
    *Ensure only one shuffle was plugged in at a time (saw notice that two shuffles plugged in at the same time is not yet a supported config)... tried and failed
    *The 5 R's as recommended by Apple Support... tried and failed.
    *I've tried all 3 built in USB ports on my Lenovo T60. no love... tried and failed.
    *Per discussion board: From Window's Device Manager-> Scaned for new hardware while shuffle was syncing...tried and failed.
    * Per Discussion board: From Window's Disk Management -> Ensured shuffle came up as a FAT32 filesystem... connection tore down as quickly as windows recognized it.... tried and failed.
    *From Windows Software config utility: Ran repair to re-install itunes 8... same results.
    *From Windows software management utility: Uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 8... same results.
    Hardware: IBM Thinkpad/Lenovo T60. Using build in k/b & no external mouse. Has 3 USB built in ports.
    Software: Windows XP Pro SP2/iTunes 8.0.2/shuffle (2nd gen) driver 1.0.4 (same behavior using the original driver 1.0.3).
    Apple iPod USB Device properties:
    Driver Provider - Microsoft
    Driver Date - 7/1/2001
    Driver Version - 5.1.2535.0

    Hi. Ive got pretty much the same problem.... Got a new shuffle for christmas..having real problems syncing with itunes. Funnily enough I managed to get 25 tracks on it but then it just stopped. error message says " The ipod shuffle cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found." Ive done restore, and downloaded a reset utility thingy to try but still no joy.

  • Fifth Gen Video to TV issue

    I purchased an iPod AV Connection Kit and I read and tried all the suggestions but I am still not receiving a video signal. So I used an S-Video cable and still no signal. I tried it on a fourth generation iPod and that did receive a video signal, only with the S-Video cable. Is there something I’m not doing correctly? Or do I need to take my fifth gen iPod in and see if that may be the problem?

    you need to turn on your external video out on,

  • Very slow wine game/nouveau driver issue

    Hello everyone, I'm trying to play a game (Civ 4) using wine. However, it was extremely laggy, and since it runs well on Windows (I have dualboot) plus it's not a very recent game and my laptop is reasonnably well-equipped, I thought it should work well on arch as well. Here is the link in the wine db. I should also add that I'm a very novice wine user so that might well be the (a) source of problem(s). Apart from the lagging, according to the sensors, the CPU's temperature rose from ~50°C to ~100°C within about A MINUTE.
    I checked cpupower to see that the cpu was allowed to run at max speed and tried optirun to use the NVIDIA graphics card rather than the Intel graphics card I have installed. I'm by no means sure that the drivers are installed or configured properly by the way...
    Starting with optirun looked to work (the loading screen came up) but when the main window should've been loaded, the application terminated with the following output:
    err:winediag:wined3d_dll_init The GLSL shader backend has been disabled. You get to keep all the pieces if it breaks.
    libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/nouveau_dri.so failed (/usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/nouveau_dri.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64)
    libGL error: unable to load driver: nouveau_dri.so
    libGL error: driver pointer missing
    libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau
    libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/i965_dri.so failed (/usr/lib32/xorg/modules/dri/i965_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
    libGL error: unable to load driver: i965_dri.so
    libGL error: driver pointer missing
    libGL error: failed to load driver: i965
    [VGL] ERROR: glXCreateContextAttribsARB symbol not loaded
    terminate called without an active exception
    Before today I only used optirun for VLC (though I don't really see a difference) and to check whether it would run with glxgears. Neither case had any problems. I tried softlinking nouveau_dri.so from the "/usr/lib/..." to the "/usr/lib32/..." directory as well as copying it but neither helped.
    Some info:
    Graphic cards:
    01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF117M [GeForce 610M/710M/820M / GT 620M/625M/630M/720M] (rev ff)
    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
    Packages:
    local/xf86-video-intel 2.99.916-2 (xorg-drivers xorg)
    X.org Intel i810/i830/i915/945G/G965+ video drivers
    local/xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.11-1 (xorg-drivers xorg)
    Open Source 2D acceleration driver for nVidia cards
    local/nouveau-dri 10.2.8-1
    Mesa drivers for Nouveau
    local/bumblebee 3.2.1-3
    NVIDIA Optimus support for Linux through VirtualGL
    Some advice how to fix the driver issue or about what else might be causing the problems is greatly appreciated!

    Besides agreeing with the notion above, you lack lib32-nouveau-dri and thus are unable to use acceleration with 32bit programs which is the undelying issue here.

  • IPod Fifth Gen Widescreen Problem

    I bought several movies from itunes including Resident Evil Extinction and Degeneration, The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, and Pirates of the Caribean Curse of the Black Pearl. They all play back on my Fifth Gen ipod video in widescreen. I would prefer to use it fullscreen, so any answers would be greatly appreciated.

    I have the same problem. Have tried _all_ of the suggestions including 4 of the "R"s - the Restore option is not possible, two different USB cables, 3 different computers (2 with latest iTunes update, 1 with previous). Still the same result - nothing! The ipod works fine apart from the connection issue. When attached to the computer "Do no disconnect" is displayed, but the ipod does not appear anywhere on the computer and iTunes does not start - even when I double click the icon.

  • Lastest Shuffle 2nd gen driver download?

    Windows wants to deactivate my 2nd gen. shuffle due to an unkown driver issue. Can someone explain how I can override these intentions
    Thanx

    You may need to do some work via Device Manager. To access Device Manager, click Start, right->click on Computer and choose Manage. When the window comes up, locate your device in the list of devices.  You may need to expand some categories to try and locate it. It may show up as unknown or appear as mass storage media device under USB Host Controllers.
    If you right->click on it (wherever that may be), what options do you have? If install or uinstall is listed as an option, select it. If it's an uninstall, wait until it has finished, then disconnect and reconnect the iPod.

  • Sometimes my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I am running a pretty powerful work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network, is it a hard drive issue? do I need to "clean out" the computer?

    Many times my computer takes too long to connect to new website. I have wireless internet (time capsule) and I am running a pretty powerful real time financial work program at same time, what is the best solution? Upgrading speed from cable network? is it a hard drive issue? do I only need to "clean out" the computer? Or all of the above...not to computer saavy.  It is a Macbook Pro  osx 10.6.8 (late 2010).

    Almost certainly none of the above!  Try each of the following in this order:
    Select 'Reset Safari' from the Safari menu.
    Close down Safari;  move <home>/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db to the trash; restart Safari.
    Change the DNS servers in your network settings to use the OpenDNS servers: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220
    Turn off DNS pre-fetching by entering the following command in Terminal and restarting Safari:

  • Hard drive issues after update 10.10.3

    Question also posted here:Hard Drive Issues (Both new and old)
    I'm trapped in a HDD nightmare with my MacBook Pro mid-2012.
    I updated to Yosemite 10.10.3 (with the Photos app). A couple of days after the update, I was watching a movie on my TV screen via HDMI. In the middle of the movie I removed the HDMI cable from the MacBook Pro and everything freezes. I forced shut down (Note: My HDD was encrypted). After I forced shut down, I tried to turn on and the loading screen would never stop loading - like, 14 hours stuck with the progress bar. Since I have backups, I decided to access DU and format my HDD. I tried everything. For real. Every command line I could type on Terminal to format, repair, erase and/or partition. I read almost every issue-related questions on the forums and stack exchange groups for a week (even posted my issue here: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/181090/erasing-and-partitioning-hard-dr ive-from-internet-recovery?noredirect=1#comment215695_181090).
    So, I decided that it was a HDD failure and bought a new one.
    I bought the Seagate 1TB SSHD Hybrid  - ST1000LM014. Installed the new fresh disk and guess what? All those same problems again. I´m not able to restore from Time Machine because it doesn't recognize the disk in the restore page. But the disk is recognized in the DU. When I try to erase or partition the new SSHD, the same old errors: File system formatter failed. Yes, I tired GUID Partition Table, all of the security options, etc.
    Please. Any light that you can throw at this issue, I'll be very grateful for. BTW, the new SSHD is recognized and the SMART Status says: Verified.
    Any ideas on *** is going on?
    Thanks in advance!
    MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), i7, 8GB RAM

    After I erase the hard drive (I assume one pass of writing zeros is good enough, 7 passes not needed?) do I turn off the laptop, then turn on and insert the Install Disk? Will there be a prompt telling me when to put in the disk? Or do I put in the disc right after erasing?
    One pass is fine. If you've previously backed up your hard drive to an external hard drive using SuperDuper!, which is what I use and recommend, or another program, if it created a bootable drive, you want to boot off of it, bring up SuperDuper! and copy the drive back to the internal hard drive. SuperDuper also makes the drive bootable. When done, reboot, and you should be all set. If you're using Time Machine, you'll want to install the operating system, then restore the Time Machine backup. SuperDuper! is available from http://www.shirt-pocket.com/superduper/superduperdescription.html
    Finally- should I update the OS? Is there a problem with the newest update that caused this crash, or was it just a spurious glitch/bad luck?
    I've been running 10.5.8 for awhile with no issues, and would recommend moving to it.

  • Can you use a Mac Mini to share documents between several devices? iPhones, MacBooks, iPads, etc...? We are a home based business with several locations across the state and are having Google Drive issues, looking into Mac Mini options.

    We are having Google Drive issues (some files won't sync) and it's causing us trouble with our business communication. Is there any way to use a Mac Mini to share documents between two people in different areas similar to google drive? Would this just be done through iCloud?

    If you use Numbers, Pages and KeyNote it si very easy to sync those document among all the Apple devices. You need montain Lion on the Mac  and at least iOS 5 on the mobile devices.
    I show those document on my Mac, iPad 4 and iPhone 4S

  • HP 6600 Scan\Print Driver Issue for Windows 7 Profession​al 64 bit

    Hello,
    For some time now I have been unable to scan or print from my desktop (Windows 7 Professional 64bit) and I have exhausted too much effort and am now bringing it to the masses.
    The problem:
    Printing:  Currently receiving an "Error - Offline" message in my printer queue at all times.
    Scanning:  Scanning has never fully worked on this desktop. I am always unable to communicate with the printer. (Though webscan works through accessing the printers IP address)
    Things I have tried:
    Ran HPPSDr, followed directions (Unpluged power to printer, turn back on, restart computer) brings me to this website after it cannot fix. (Note that while the HPPSDr is running it always notions that there is a driver problem)
    Uninstalled Drivers from CD-ROM, re-installed, countless times
    Installed "Windows 7 Pro 64 bit drivers" from the HP website and uninstalled, countless times.
    Attempted to set a static IP and use "Update IP Address" to point specifically at the printers IP.
    Installed Drivers and finding the printer myself through it's own static IP address.
    Turned off firewall and attempted to print (after reboot), same errors
    Setting up the printer on all of my laptops (3) wirelessly to attempt to find if there is a problem with the printer or static IP. (1 is Windows VISTA 32bit and the other 2 are Ubuntu 32bit). All laptops are able to use the printer wirelessly without any problems.
    Read all of the forums about this issue and attempted all of the 'solutions'. Although I mostly don't see that anyone with this same problem is resolved, unless I'm missing the perfect post.
    Things I have not tried:
    Plugging the USB directly into the desktop. (This seems self defeating as the purpose for this printer was to be able to print wirelessly to it from across the room)
    Re-installed Windows 7 Pro 64bit (Trying to avoid this, would rather just print from laptops)
    You tell me
    Curiosities:
    I have noticed strange things that make me believe the driver is somehow incomptable with my OS. Here is a shot of the properties of the printer:
    Weird that it is not recognizing the model number.
    Also in the Printer Settings when I go to the port tab, there is no port selected, if I try and tab away it forces me to select a port, yet when I do and 'apply' and then re-open the Printer Settings in the ports tab; it has again unselected the previously selected port.
    Theories:
    I feel like my OS is just refusing to notice the IP address for the wireless printer, no matter what I have it set to, even if it's dynamic. It's like the driver for Windows 7 Pro 64bit is actually not the correct driver for my system.
    Anyways, another thing to mention is that I am not currently willing to wipe my operating system and re-install Windows 7 Pro in order to resolve this just yet. I want to see if anyone else has any other avenues I can try before even beginning to consider that. 
    Anyways, thanks in advance for taking the time to read my ramblings and hopefully someone who has resolved this issue can help me.

    Hi Zerosouls,
    I understand you are having an issue with HP 6600 Scan\Print Driver Issue for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
    First try to click the Windows icon, type services in the Search box, and then click or tap View Local Services. Scroll down to the Windows Installer. Startup type should be - Automatic, and Service Status should be - started
    Restart the computer after this step and try installing Hp Officejet 6600 again.
    Please let me know what happens
    Thanks

  • Driver issue after Downgradin​g to Windows 7 (Pavilion 17-f081no)

    So,i went to downgrade yesterday,and have had this problem ever since. Nothing works except one USB port at the right side of the laptop (when looked at front),no usb connections,no wireless or wired connection,nothing. They are all dead,including SD card slot.
    I know its the driver issue,but i cant seem to find them. I need something for USB ports,Ethernet/Network card/,SM BUS controller etc. They are all listed under "Other devices" in Device manager.
