Garmin Forerunner 210 keeps connecting/disconnection when plugged in HP Pavilion dv6-3040sd

I have a problem connecting my Garmin Forerunner 210 (GF210) to my HP Pavilion dv6-3040sd. I know the problem is with the laptop, because i tried several other laptops and on those it works well. When i connect the device, windows installs the drivers. so far so good. When the drivers are installed, the laptop recognises the GF210 and it connects. A window pops up letting me choose what i want to do, but before i can decide the device is disconnected and connected again. It goes on and on like this.
On onther laptops the GF210 is seen in the 'Computer' section as a external harddrive.
My laptop is running on Windows 7 64-bit and all the latest updates from windows are installed.
Does anybody know an answer to this problem?
This question was solved.

Hello again HarmR,
It is good to hear back from you!
Since you have already applied the document above with no success, I recommend changing the drive letter of the Garmin Forerunner 210. This can be done by following the steps of this document on how to Change, add, or remove a drive letter.
Additionally, I also suggest following the steps below in order to recognize a USB device in Windows 7:
Step 1. Click Start
Step 2. Click Control Panel
Step 3. Click Administration Tools
Step 4. Click on Computer Management
Step 5. Click on Disk Management
*** If it was not seen there, go to 'Action' on the menu bar, click on 'Rescan Disks' and it should come up. If it does show here does it have a drive letter assigned? If not follow the instructions below:
Step 1. Right-click on the removable drive
Step 2. Click on Change drive Letter...
Step 3. Assign a drive letter
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!
Regards

Ipod just keeps connecting/disconnecting. any thoughts?

here's the story. my ipod died. i upgraded to itunes 7. still was not working, i go to apple and get a refurbished one. the new one keeps connecting/disconnecting. when i open my computer, it shows it just blinking like its there, then its not. does not show in itunes, but half the time says do not disconnect.
here's where it gets weird. the USB port runs other devices fine. i plugged my ipod into a friends PC and could put music on it. i plugged my friends ipod into my PC and it shows up fine. i've swapped the ipod USB cord with my friend and it still does the same thing. so its not the ipod, its not my comp. and its not my itunes. anyone even want to attempt? i'm at my wits end here.

Try forcing the iPod into Disk Mode using the instructions in this Apple support document.
Putting iPod into Disk Mode
If you can successfully do that, it should keep the iPod mounted on your PC long enough for you to perform a restore of it via iTunes.

Ipod keeps connecting & disconnecting

whenever i connect my ipod 2 my computer it keeps connecting & disconnecting over & over again. what is wrong?

I solved the constant connection/disconnection problem on my 4G iPod Nano by buying a Belkins 5 port PCI USB Card Model FSU220 and connecting my iPod to this card rather than the on board USB. The Belkins card uses a NEC USB controller chip. I believe the constant connection/disconnection problem is caused when a VIA Chip is used as the USB Controller. If you are having this problem you probably have a VIA USB controller.
Although other cards with other controllers might solve the problem I bought this one because it was available locally (about $35.00 at Staples) and it is Mac and Windows compatible.
I tried restarting the computer, re-installing iTunes, connecting to a different USB plug, and returning the iPod for another and nothing worked. Installing the card solved the problem for me.
Interesting to note that my previous ipod classic worked on the computer's built-in USB plugs without any problems. Also interesting is that I could keep the iPod connected to the computer and transfer files to the iPod (not music files) as long as iTunes was not running.

How to make external devices (like iPods, etc.) NOT mount as connected drives when plugged in via USB to a Mac?

If I plug my iPod (or a thumb drive or whatever) to my Mac's USB port, the device appears as a icon representing a connected drive on my Mac's Desktop.
This is normal, expected behavior.
HOWEVER, in some cases, I'd prefer that the device not "mount" as a connected external drive.
With thumb drives or external USB drive, of course, I want them to "mount" so I can transfer files on or off them -- that would be the only possible reason to connect an external drive like that.
But with other Apple devices like iPods or iPhones, there are TWO possible reasons to connect them to a Mac: either to "sync" them or transfer files on/off them; OR, to simply recharge the device's battery. (Or, both sync and recharging functions at once.)
For those people who use their Apple devices in ways that require transferring files (i.e. most people), then having the device "mount" as a connected device is a desirable behavior.
But in my circumstance (and I bet there are a lot of people in a similar circumstance), I have no need or desire to transfer any data to or from my device every time I plug it into my Mac: I'm plugging it in SOLELY to recharge the device's battery.
Specifically, in my case, I have a 6th-gen iPod Nano, and I use it exclusively as an FM radio and a pedometer. I don't have any mp3s or songs or any other external files loaded on it, nor do I plan to add any in the future.
The only reason I ever plug it into my Mac is so that I can recharge the iPod's battery.
But the "problem," which is a minor one I admit but a problem nonetheless, is that every time I connect the iPod to the Mac, the iPod appears as a "connected drive" icon on my Mac's desktop. Which means that I'm not supposed to just unplug the iPod when I'm done -- first, I have to find its icon on the Mac Desktop, and then drag the icon to the Trash, to "unmount" it -- and only then can I freely unplug the iPod without getting an error message telling me that I shouldn't just disconnect connected drives without first properly unmounting them.
This would be bothersome enough if I only had to do it once per connection, but in the case of the iPod Nano, there's no way to tell how recharged it is while it is in the act of recharging, so that to see if I'm "done," I have to unplug it, check the battery status, and if it's not fully charged, re-plug it back in. So that each time I recharge it, I often have to unmount the drive several times, depending on how impatient I am.
There has to be a way to prevent the mounting of the drives of devices that one is connecting simply for the purpose of recharging. But how?
Strangely, I also have an old iPhone, and when I plug that in for recharging in the same way, it DOESN'T appear as a connected drive on the Desktop. I'm not sure how I managed to do this, but long ago I must have changed some setting or preference for this to happen. And by now I've forgotten what I did.
I'd prefer that I could change the "mount/don't-mount" setting on a device-by-device basis -- i.e. make it such that this particular iPod doesn't load, but perhaps a different iPod would load -- but if that's not possible, then is there a way to stop ALL iPods and iPhones from loading as connected drives when plugged in?
(I'm not talking about appearing as connected drives within iTunes -- I'm talking about appearing as an icon on the Desktop in the Finder.)
And please don't tell me to just buy a wall charger! I prefer to recharge off my computer if possible, using the charging cord that came with the iPod.
I presume there's some simple setting to toggle this on or off, but I haven't yet found it. Any clues would be appreciated. Thanks!

Well, I already know about that Finder Preferences option, but that is not what I'm looking for. Why not? Because I still need CDs and DVDs to appear on the Desktop and mount properly! If I uncheck the "CDs, DVDs and iPods" option, then I lose the ability to access CDs and DVDs, which creates a whole new problem for me. What I want is to not mount iPods only -- actually, what I really want is to not mount this particular iPod -- but if that level of specificity is not possible, then I want to exclude just iPods from mounting, without also condemning CDs and DVDs (or whatever) to invisibility.
Also, I was confused by the way the Preference is worded: It says "Show these items on the Desktop," with a series of options to check. But this phraseology seems to mean that the unchecked items will still "mount," they simply won't appear as Desktop icons. One would still have to "Eject" them using a menu command, rather than dragging the icon to the Trash -- right? Or am I mistaken, and is the Preference Pane simply badly worded, and when they say "Show these items on the Desktop," what they really mean is "mount these external devices as connected drives." So that if a category is unchecked, then they won't load as external drives at all?
But if so, then what purpose could possibly be served by inserting a CD or DVD that is not recognized by the computer? And if it isn't recognized, then it would seem that there would be no way to ever Eject the CD or DVD disk. Right?
Thus, if I uncheck that Finder Preference box you suggest, one of two outcomes will result:
-- Either CD, DVDs and iPods are still mounted, they just won't appear as icons on the Desktop; but they would still need to be Ejected via a menu command, which doesn't solve my problem.
-- Or, CDs, DVDs and iPods are not mounted or recognized by the computer at all, which means that if I insert a disk into the disk drive, it will get stuck there forever, since there's no way to Eject it, since the OS doesn't recognize that it's even there. Which is thereby a new problem.
Either way, I'd have a problem! Or...? Clarification, anyone?

Dial-up connection disconnects when importing CDs into iTunes

When importing a CD, my dial-up Internet connection disconnects after each song has finished importing. The importing doesn't seem to be affected, but I keep having to reconnect. This is very annoying!
Has anyone else had this problem, and how can I fix it?

This is also a known phenomenon on Macs with a dial-up connection.
For Macs there is a workaround, but no solution yet.
By using an Applescript, the firewall settings will be toggled on CD insert, preventing iTunes to contact Gracenote (to get track information).
I don't know something similar for Windows.
Maybe you can write some code yourself.
The URL to block (temporary) is "http://service.gracenote.com"
You can always get the track information later by selecting all tracks of an imported CD and choosing 'Get CD Track Names' from the Advanced menu in iTunes.

Bluetooth connection - Keeps connecting / disconnecting in car.

Hi,
I've recently got a Z2 phone and i love it all apart from when I get in my car.
It connects, disconnect, connects, disconnnect, and so on and so on for as long as Im driving.
I've done all I can think of.
Reset the phone, unpair the devices etc.
does anyone have any idea? is this a known issue?

I guess nobody has this issue?
The car is a 2014 Vauxhall Insignia
I've had the garage look into it but they have no problem getting other phones to connect to the vehicle, even my old Nokia 920 works fine.

Bluetooth keeps connecting disconnecting

I have Volvo V40 and when I step in my car with my bluetooth enabled already, I see on my Z3 Bluetooth connect sand then disconnect. This repeats all the time. When I then disable bluetooth, wait a while and enable bluetooth again, the problem is gone. I don't know for sure, but what I have see on my car's phone menu, although I get these disconnects on my phone , the disconnects are not noticed by my car. But again, I didn't look into that yet. Do you have similar problems?

I have the same problem. You must be new, or in denial. I had a Z1s that had all these same problems, disconnecting/maybe reconnecting, won't stream music in the car, troubleshoot to no end. Then discovered the many many people online with the same problems. Sony always tries to blame the car, or the user. You also seem to frequently ask about the Wifi, because you know the wifi makes the problem worse. Now, I was foolish enough to assume that Sony actually listens to feedback and improves products. I thought Sony would have fixed their bluetooth problems by two models later. Boy was I dumb. I have a new Z3, and the same old garbage, connected, disconnected, connected, disconnected. Anyone who's considering this phone should just Google, "Z3 bluetooth problems, " it's an eye opening experience. Perhaps someone at Sony should too. I tried to return the phone, but it's been more than 14 days, so all I can get is a "warranty return" which would just give me another of the same phones with the same defective software, so what, really, can I do? Organize a class action suit? SONY, ARE YOU LISTENING?

AMD High Definition Audio Device Not Plugged In (HP Pavilion dv6-6b09sa)

I have just booted up my HP Pavilion dv6-6b09sa (running on Windows 7) laptop to find that the sound icon has a red cross next to it and it claims that 'No speakers or headphones are plugged in'. In the Control Panel it states that the AMD High Definition Audio Device is Not Plugged In. As far as I know, I've done nothing to cause this.I have already tried:System restore to yesterday at 10pm;Instalation of a TDI driver from the HP website, however I do not know how to edit/disable/delete the old driver. I'm completely clueless about these things. Please help, I'm at a complete loss.

This happened to me too. I own an HP Pavilion dv7-1135nr (Windows Vista). The internal hard drive stopped working, I took it to a computer repair shop, they put in a new internal hard drive, asked Microsoft for a key code and jump started the laptop. I took it home with me yesterday, watched a few videos and wondered why the sound wasn't working. The volume light on the laptop base was indicated as red (which meant the volume was off, even when the volume on the laptop screen was on). The only way I was able to hear sounds from videos was when I put my ear phones on.
I read somebody say that this happened to them and they restarted/rebooted their computer. I did that and, expectedly, it didn't work. I came across this page, opened up "Device Manager," opened up "Sound, Video and Game Controllers." Right-clicked the "IDT Device" and then uninstalled it. My laptop then restarted and thankfully the sound was back up. I didn't need to download anything or right click the "IDT Installer" or "Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button" or any of that. It thankfully came back without me having to do any of that. I restarted/rebooted my computer to see if it was a fluke, and thankfully it worked again. Now I don't have to use my ear phones. My ears didn't like being pumped with sound, even when it was on low. My "Digital Display Audio" is still not checked green. It says that it's "not plugged in." But hopefully I won't run into this problem again in the future. Because if I'm a week or two or a month removed, the repair people I initially went to for my internal hard drive problem, will say that this was a separate issue caused by me and will charge me extra, when it was in fact caused by them (not maliciously of course, I guess this kind of thing happens when you replace a hard drive, as do a lot of other things which I'm not beginning to see). Thanks DavidPK.

Things I've tried so far:
Unchecking USB power management/changing USB port and cable
Uninstall/re-install
Decompressing .exe file using 7-zip
I have a BB 9800 Torch and operating Windows 7 professional on my PC.
If anyone has a solution please help as it's been 5 days of trying with no solution yet. Thanks

I am going through the same situation since upgrading to 2.1 from Beta..
No clues at all of what is going wrong......

USB disconnects when plugged in (Solved)

Hey Guys
Just got a W510 and I love it. It has its quirks but this machine is really a beast. However, I noticed a strange problem. If I have my iphone connected to the powered USB in the back, and I plug in the charger the iphone starts disconnecting every 10-15 seconds. It (the iphone) becomes useless at that time. I have to unplug the power connector to get the iphone to stay connected for longer than 15 seconds. Anyone have any similar experiences? Any idea why this would happen?
Thanks
Update
Found the solution. In the BIOS there is a setting that lets you choose the profile of the device that you would be connecting to the powered USB 2.0 outlet. I had it set to automatic when I was encountering this issue. Changed it to ipod and now the problem is gone. I have some other devices that will be connecting to that port. If I see any problems with any of those, I will post here.

Ipod only says "ok to disconnect" when plugged into mac

When I plug my 1st gen. 5g ipod into the Mac it only reads "ok to disconnect". I have tried on several Mascs with the same result. Diagnostics run on it and everything is fine. I can listen to music, just can't get the Mac to see it.

I'm having the same problem. I just installed Tiger and iTunes read my 1st generation iPod once or twice, but now won't recognise it at all. Help!

I had the same problem. The problem was my docking cord and my ipod's docking plugin. I took it to a appple store and they replaced my ipod. Good Luck!

Airprt Extreme internet connection disconnects when i restart/shutdown

I have just installed an airport extreme card into my G5. After going through the system preferences/network/seup assistant and successfully connecting to the internet. the whole thing resets when i turn the computer off or restart. The network status shows "airport on but not connected". To reconnect i have to go back into the system prefernces and set up assistant and put the pass word in again. This is obviously most anoying. any ideas? I have tried using the internet connect by way of the status bar but it will not recognise the password.

hi David!
good lord ...
some reports of experiences (not with this precise problem, though) suggest trying the following in an experimental manner.
(1) can you maintain a connection when your antiviral packages are disabled?
(2) can you maintain a connection when your antispyware packages are disabled?
(3) can you maintain a connection when your firewalls are disabled?
(4) can you maintain a connection when some of the above things are tried at once?
(5) can you maintain a connection when all of the above things are tried at once?
keep us posted ...
love, b
