Firewire external writer not seen by Windows 7

I have Windows 7 x64 running very sweetly in my MacBook Pro 2.2 on a Kingston SSD 128 V series. I installed the X64 drivers from the SL disk as detailed elsewhere in this forum.
Everything is working except a Freecom LS Pro external DVD writer, when connected by firewire. Windows 7 simply doesn't see it. Not in Device Manager or anywhere. Fine connected USB.
The same LS Pro works fine with firewire in a Vista Bootcamp partition on my Mac Pro, and on the Mac partition on the MBP.
Firewire external hard drives work fine on the Windows 7 partition.
It looks like a missing driver for firewire DVD writer in Windows 7 bootcamp.
Will I have to wait for the imminent new Bootcamp release, or is there another solution?
Anyone have the same problem?

I managed to work out why iTunes couldn't see the ext writer [I didn't check it in the drop down menu...]
So, although I didn't manage to get AIFF files written to the disc to work on my CD player... the situation is now resolved.

Satellite A - DVD drive not seen by Windows Explorer

THe DVD deive on D is not seen by windows explorer. It used to work but has now disappeared. The dvd hardwars starts up at boot then ceases.
Any ideas anyone?

Try removing the CD/DVD Filters from the Registry.
When CD/DVD related software is installed (such as iTunes, Nero, virtual CD software), they install filters into the registry, which can cause compatibility problems.
1) Run Regedit (Start -> Run -> Regedit)
2) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
3) In the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key, and delete the "LowerFilters" key.
4) Reboot.
If your CD/DVD programs stop working, you will need to reinstall them (preferably with an updated version).
This utility can remove the filters for you:

Dotfuscator CE error: External type not found System.Windows.Input.ICommand,PresentationCore

Preemptive will not support CE so I am trying here...
I have an application targeting the .NET Framework 4.0. It builds and runs fine but I cannot get it to compile in Dotfuscator CE. I am stuck.
Dotfuscator CE (v5.0.2500.0) with Visual Studio 2010 SP1. Here is the Error:
Resolving method references...
External type not found System.Windows.Input.ICommand,PresentationCore, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35.
Build Error.
The problem seems to originate from ICommand being moved from PresentationCore.dll (in NET 4.0) to System.dll (in NET 4.5). Studio handles this and compiles fine as I am targeting NET 4.0 and the references all point to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0\
Dotfuscator CE however does not seem to handle it correctly and I am not sure how to correct the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi Perter,
Thanks for your response.
External type not found System.Windows.Input.ICommand,PresentationCore, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35.
Maybe it is related to the references in your project.
Reference:
The type 'System.Windows.Input.ICommand' exists in both 'PresentationCore.dll' and 'System.dll'
Since it is not the VS General issue, I am moving your question to the moderator forum ("Where is the forum for..?").

External harddisk not working on windows, what can i do?

I am a new Mac user and cannot seem to get it with the external harddrives. I bought one that is supposed to be working with both windows and mac but after installing time machine (which formatted it in a non windows way i guess) it is not readable by windows. I have browsed several articles but have no idea what to do. Would it help to part it in 2 and use one part for time machine while formatting the other one to fit with windows? Would that work? I want to be able to have time machine but also randomly being able to copy music from friends with pc:s. Other people seem to be complaining after doing that (parting) mac could not read the stuff from windows. aaaargh help!!What to do???

TimeMachine requires either an entire drive or it's own dedicated partition. It will basically continue to backup revisions until it fills either the entire drive or partition (if you have created a partition for it). Your suggestion for creating multiple partitions is fine. You can let TimeMachine use one and the other can be for whatever you want. Only FAT32 formatted drives/partitions are compatible for writing with both Macs and PCs. If you want to be able to use the data partition on both platforms, you should format it as FAT32 (I believe the partition utility in Disk Utility just calls it DOS). There is a limit however for FAT32. The largest single file that you can have is 4GB. This is generally not a problem for most people, but if you'll be working with large data files or videos, it is something to consider. If you expect to be working with files over 4GB, the external data partition will need to be formatted in either NTFS or OS X. Unfortunately, Windows can neither read nor write to an OS X formatted drive and OS X can read, but not write to an NTFS drive. There are utilites available for both OS X and Windows that will allow them to write to the opposite format. Again, this is only an issue if you plan to be working with really large files.... otherwise, FAT32 will be fine and is compatible with both platforms.

Ipod not seen by windows or itunes

Hello, I'm totally frustrated and have been searching for hours. Please someone help.
- Nano 8 gb
- Windows xp
Neither Windows (my computer) nor Itunes sees my ipod. Ipod is working fine: did the menu/select thing, cable is good.
When I plug the ipod in the usb port I hear a bleep and I get a message bottom right "new hardware found ipod"and the icon is a usb cable. Ipod is not in My computer window. Ipod is not seen by Itunes
Tried Device Manager/I see Ipod with a ? Yellow. If i right click on it and do update driver the ms computer management system crashes and sends error report.
I tried dowloading the USB driver and placing it in the directory, but I got stuck because there is no windows/inf directory. I tried to update the usb driver with the same ms crash.
I'm completely frustrated, please can someone help me.

I was having the same problem the other day. I'm not sure what it was but I think it has something to do with the i tunes and i pod 1.2 update.
What I did was:
1. Uninstall i tunes
2. Restart my computer
3. pluged my ipod in a slow usb line
4. waited until my pc recognized it in there. It took a little while.
5. re installed i tunes from apple.com
6. waited until i tunes recognized my ipod
7. updated my i pod with my library it took a long time because i was in the slow usb plug.
8. re plugged my ipod into a 2.0 usb line
9. i tunes recognized it.
10. I then updated my ipod to the new 1.2 version
11. The problem started happening again
12 I repeated what I did before and now it is working.
It was very frustrating! I hope it works for you.1

5th Gen IPOD - Won't Sync and Not Seen by Windows

Help!!!
Tried the 5 R's. I have the IPOD in Disk Mode but whilst it will happily charge, it still is not seen by ITunes or Windows Explorer (though is visible inDisk Defragmenter). I have already un-installed and re-installed ITunes etc.
Prior to putting it into Disk Mode the IPOD still had my library on it and owuld happily work.

Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:

Large external HDs not recognized by Windows 7 64-bit

Hi,
I'm trying to see if someone else out there has had this same problem have has been able to solve it.
I have an HP Pavilion DV6 - NQ615AV Entertainment Center PC. I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1.
I have several external USB hard drives (80GB, 320GB, 500GB) and several USB memory keys (2GB, 14GB) that work well with this computer.
I recently got a couple of 1TB and 2TB external USB hard drives, and they are not being recognized by this computer. The hard drives work well with other systems (Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit, Windows XP), so they are ok. The drives also work on my computer if I boot from an Ubuntu memory key.
The behavior I see is that Windows gives the usual "Installing device driver sofware". As it does that, it correctly identifies the drive as, for instance, "My Book 1140". After a while it comes back with "Device driver software was not successfully installed". When I check the Device Manager, the USB hard drive is listed under "Other Devices" with the same name (e.g., My Book 1140), but there is no entry under USB Mass Storage Device or Disk Drives.
I have tried many tips from other websites, from deleting temporary files under C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore to power cycling the hard drives (they all have external power supplies), to "unhide" empty drives from Windows Explorer. The drives do not show under Disk Management, so I cannot attempt to assign a different letter or initialize them. Again, they work fine on other systems, they are properly formatted, and they can be read/written to (on other systems).
The one difference I noticed between a working and a non-working situation is that, on other systems, when the external hard drives properly show under Disk Drives in the Device Manager, the Driver Details tab shows two drives loaded: disk.sys and partmgr.sys. But when I look at the same tab in my non-working system, it show the drives that are recognized (the older, smaller external drives, and the internal SATA drive) have an extra driver: hpdskflt.sys
Has anyone else been able to use newer, larger USB external hard drives with this model? Is there a limitation in the hardware that would make those newer drives not compatible? As my smaller hard drives and memory keys still work under Windows 7, there's no issue with the USB ports themselves, just with these specific newer, larger hard drives.
I've sent an email to HP support, but I'm not hopeful because they only provide tech support to devices under warranty, or under a busines service agreement. I don't meet any of the two requirements.
The support pages for Western Digital and Seagate (my new external hard drives) say that there are no extra drivers needed, and that Windows 7 64-bit should recognize them right away.
The support pages for Microsoft say that if a driver is not installed properly or found, the device manufacturer should be contacted.
So that only leaves Internet forums as a source of ideas and suggestions.

Working solution on win 7 32 & 64 with driver lj1010serieshb-vista, did as follow:
connected printer, windows tried to auto install and failed, device was listed as unspecified.
googled for lj1010serieshb-vista(32/64).zip driver, downloaded from hp website, unzipped and extracted files.
Start > Run > PrintManagement.msc , then Print Servers > Localhost , right click on drivers > add driver > next > choose x86/x64 > next > have disk > browse to location of extracted
files, select hpc1015e.inf > ok > select hp laserjet 1010 hb > next > finish
Repeat above process and this time select select hp laserjet 1015 hb > next > finish , this step is needed as stated on previous post some files are missing on the 1010 driver and adding 1015 fixes the problem.
Now back to Devices and printers , right click on the unspecified device > troubleshoot > then will ask to search for driver, select "apply this fix" , it will find and install the correct driver from previous step > then will ask to set printer
as default, select "apply this fix" > then will ask if you want to share printer, select "skip this fix" if you don't want to share > close troubleshooter.
Now i have perfectly working printer, 'preferences' is working and not crashing win explorer and printer doesn't hung.
I guess you could first add the two drivers to your system before
connecting your printer and it would install perfectly but who would though this old printer would not work trough windows update.
thanks to the people who went by trial and error to find a working solution.

E3000 Media Server not seen by Windows Media Player (v 12.0) on Win 7

I've enabled the Media Server on my E3000 router. My PS3 can see the server and play media from it by my PCs can't!
I'm using Windows Media Player v 12.0 on Windows 7 and some older version on Windows XP and it's my understanding that the Media Server should appear under the "Other Libraries" section but it does not.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a bug in the E3000 firmware (I have the latest as of this date) or is the Media Server simply not compatible with Windows Media Player?
If it's an incompatibility issue, can someone please point me to a compatible media player for Windows 7?
I did read a post about a firmware upgrade on the 4200 that broke the media player, but I don't know if such a problem exists for the E3000.
Thank you,
Martin.

This is what you can try in getting the Computer to see the media server on the E3000:
(Obviously make sure you have the media server enabled on the router and at least one folder shared....and make sure you have scanned the folder(s))
1) Turn your computer on.
2) Disconnect your external usb drive.
3) Pull the power on the E3000.
4) Connect the external usb drive.
5) Plug the power back into the E3000.
Then see if that works or not.
If the issue still persist then here is the link which may help you: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01832417&tmp_track_link=ot_recdoc/c00859236/en_...

Bluetooth not seen in Windows

I installed Windows 8.1 through BootCamp and Bluetooth device is not recognized by Windows. I am talking about the new 2015 12' macbook.
It is not seen in the device manager list.
Any Help?

Can you check the version of BC drivers in bootcamp.xml on your USB?
It should look similar to
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type='text/xml' href='test.xsl'?>

<BuildInfo BuildNumber="5621" ProductName="Boot Camp">
<MsiInfo>
<ProductManufacturer>Apple Inc.</ProductManufacturer>

Not seen in windows (or anywhere else!)

I have a problem..
I was given an Ipod - I am assuming it is a mini, but I'm not 100% certain - All I know is it has a touch wheel, is marked with 4Gb on the back, and it has a monochrome screen.
There were NO cables, manuals, or CD's with it.
I went out and purchase a FireWire cable for it, and it is charging up fine with that.
However, I seem to be unable to do anything else with it!
It does not appear in windows or in ITunes. I have read through all the advice I could find but the Ipod doesn't even appear in places where I should be able to fix this problem (nope, not even in Administrator Tools under Control Panel!)
When connected to my PC, the normal Ipod menu comes on screen, but no other messages or icons (ie: do not disconnect, the sad smiley etc).
So any suggestions as to how I can make this work?
I AM able to reset the Ipod (flick hold switch on and off, hold menu and select for 6-10 seconds etc) and I DO see the apple logo when I do this.
Please help!
Giric,
The normally tehno-savvy,
clueless Ipod user.

Are you sure it is an Ipod?
The reason i ask is that there are cheap mp3 players knocking about that look like ipods but there are in fact made to look like them but are no good.

Firewire external drive - Leopard opens new windows?

I have left the option for Leopard to "Always open folders in a new window" unchecked in the finder preferences window.
It doesn't do this for my internal drive, but my external drive continues to open windows all over the place, everytime I navigate.
Is there any way to stop this?

mbpjunkie,
Try this, you see that little button in the top right of the window. Click on that it will toggle the window view. When you can see the toolbar all the windows open up in one and when you can't see the toolbar they open in there own window.
Note you can also toggle this on in off in the View menu.
Hope that helps,
Weston

Time machine backup on external firewire drive is not seen by restore or migration assistant

Hi,
today the harddrive on my Aluminium iMac gave up the ghost. I have been backing up my system using time machine, so I wished to restore it. To my great annoyance I found that neither the restore option in Lion's installer nor the migration assistant after install allows me to select that drive!!!
I have checked the drive, it's ok. I connected it to another Mac, it can read it just fine. Why the **** is it not appearing in the list of available backups?!

Hi Bob,
I would like it to appear along with the time capsule it self under shared, so when I click on the time capsule I would see two drives the time capsule and right below or above the hard drive. and I would like to be able to see it in the airport utility under disks under the time capsule in the drive screen, but the drive is not visible in either locations.
yes I have read many places that the drive need external power supply, as this drive is quite large 1,5 tb I did take one with external power supply. I do however have two other drives one 500 gb and one 750 gb without external power supply and they both work perfectly on my time capsule "plug and play" like it is supposed to, funny enough one of these drives do have the partition master scheme as master boot record even as I have seen several discussions where it is stated this would not work. on these new drives I have tried with the three different partition master schemes I have tried with mac OS extended formatting as well as FAT 32 formatting, I even formatted the drives on a windows machine to see. but it still do not appear when it is connected to my time capsule. Before my time capsule get the blame for this I have to add that I have tried on two other time capsules - though in other environments - with the same result.
so please any new idea is very appreciated.

Boot Camp: Seagate External Drive not Recognized in Windows Explorer -- PLEASE HELP!

I'm running in Boot Camp and using a Seagate Free Agent GoFlex external drive as both a Time Machine backup on the Mac OS, as well as a storage unit to exchange files. However, whenever I plug my external drive into my computer while running Windows, it does not show up in the Computer tab under "Devices With Removable Storage", like it should. It does show up on the "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" button in the bottom right hand corner, and it appears as a "Startup Disk" in the Boot Camp Control Panel, so I know that it isn't a cable or USB input issue. Please help me get it to appear as a Device in the Windows Explorer. I need to exchange files from my Mac OS to my Windows OS. Thank you in advance for the help.

I did it but i could not install tool from the dvd. As i said, i can still boot up windows xp i just needs to re-install the service tool.
The drivers are working properly.

M-Audio ProFire audio interfaice not seen by Windows/Boot Camp

It seems Windows XP SP2 under Boot Camp, running on a Mac Pro dual-quad Nahalem 2.66 has a problem with connecting to Firewire devices. It won't even boot up with Firewire 800 drives connected, and I understand from reading posts in other threads that this is a common problem.
The problem I'm looking to get resolved has to do with my M-Audio ProFire FW 400 interface. Windows will boot up in Boot Camp with the ProFire connected and powered on, and I have installed the latest driver from M-Audio. But when I launch the ProFire control panel, it reports that it cannot find a ProFire connected. I use the ProFire in the Mac OS side in Logic and ProTools, so the unit and connection are fine. I will also be contacting M-Audio to see if they know of this issue.
TIA for any help.
- Paul
