Having a problem with the DVD drive not being recognized by the computer

Compaq Presario CQ60-215DX NOTEBOOK PC, WINDOWS VISTA, Error 10 when trying to reinstall the driver, says cannot start.
I went thru the HP troubleshooting and it said to see the mfg of drive to solve problem! I finally bought a new DVD drive P/N498479-001 for replacement . uninstalled the old drive & then reinstalled the new drive , restarted the computer & it still will not recognize the DVD player! Same error code, same problem. The problem started when I tried to play a CD that appeared to be scratched pretty badly, however my desk top played the CD with out problems? When you click on "computer" the drive does not show up!
I did install a new router a couple of days before this happened, but I am using a data cable to it, so that should not be a problem. Any Ideas?

Apple has moved on from Firewire and the current iMacs (and most MBPs) have Thunderbolt, USB3 and USB2.
There are Firewire toThunderbolt adaptors. Here's one. You also want a four pin to nine pin FW cable to run from your camera to the adaptor.

I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

Solved the problem. I had to allow cookies for safari and it run - as here: Re: itunes keeps asking for my apple id password. it's NOT entered incorrectly.

TS3850 I am using a Sony HBR -VLU camera to import into Final Cut 10. Plugging into an I MAc that doesn't have a firewire port. The camera is not being recognized by the computer. The camera is set to play tape too. Why is camera not recognized?

I am trying to import from the camera into an I-MAC. I'm told the I-mac does not have the firewire port, but has thunderbolt. Is the only way to get video from the camera via a firewire port? Is someone giving me bad information as to the firewire port not being on the I-MAC? The camera is not being recognized. Thanks in advance.

Problems with Starcam clip driver not being recognised / working.

Hi
I have recently purchased a starcam clip as my wife kept nicking my web cam to skype her sister.
I installed as per the instructions and it did not work so I de-installed and then went to the MSI web and got the latest driver for XP. This then works ok until i either unplugged the camera or shut down. I then have to re-install each time i want to use the camera >:(. If i have the camera plugged into the same usb as the last install then the computer (Acer travelmate ) shows the camera installed and plugged in but wont actually work unless I re-install . any suggestions?

Hi I have now made some progress. If I run the setup.exe as downloaded from the MSI web site the camera works as I would expect. (colour washout aside - but the thread on the 370i cam has explained this)
(1)The next time I start my computer the camera is recognised but Amcap has the error message of "This graph cannot preview" . The camera is listed in my computer but if I select the camera I get "creation of video preview failed - Check connection and check it is not being used by another application".
I can get the camera to work by running the setup.exe file again but this is a drag.
(2)If I swap to another USB port then I get the "found new hardware" icon and the new hardware wizard starts.
(3)If I start up with the camera unplugged and plug into the port on which the camera was in on the initial installation then I get the same result as (1).
Anyone any suggestions - I do not believe it is a hardware (camera) problem as it does work when initially installed.

Sony IDE DVD Drive not being recognized

Motherboard : P7n-SLI-FI
MS-7380
I recently upgraded my computer a bit with this new motherboard, ram, video cards, power supply. I used my older dvd drive that was working in my last computer. It is currently connected via IDE ribbon, but it does not show up in my computer or when I put in a CD does not auto run.
The unit does have power to it ( The eject button works, light on front blinks a little )
In BIOS I tried changing the IDE primary from AUTO to DVD/CD Drive and it still did not work.
Any suggestions ? Buy a new dvd drive that is SATA ?
Thanks

Also check the jumpers on the IDE optical drive so as they are set in Master mode as its the only IDE device in the system, assuming that you have a SATA hard drive, or if your hard drive is also an IDE one then you have to set the jumper to run as a Slave mode.

I am having real problems with my hotmail account not working on my iMac

I am having real problems with my hotmail account not working on my IMac but works absolutely fine on my Iphone 5. Can anyone help with the setup for iMac. I am with BT for my Broadband. I am cionverned if I route my Hotmail accoutn to GMail will iy stop working on my Ipone.

How are you accessing Hotmail? Via your web browser? Are you using Apple Mail? Outlook?
The answer will be different depending on how you want to access Hotmail.
If you are using an email client (like Apple Mail, Outlook, Entourage, etc.)) then you need to set up a mail account in your email software.
The incoming Hotmail settings are these:
Incoming server: pop3.live.com
User name: Your full Hotmail email address (aka "me @ hotmail.com" or "me @ live.com")
Password: Your Hotmail password
POP port: 995
Use SSL to connect : yes
The outgoing Hotmail settings are:
Outgoing server: smtp.live.com
User name: Your full Hotmail email address
Password: Your Hotmail password
SMTP port: 587 (override the default port if necesssary)
Use SSL to connect : yes

Although FF4 is so nice I'm almost ready to ditch iGoogle!
Please fix what appears to be an RSS/iGoogle issue with FF4...
Gmail is fine, but titles dont show in most RSS feed gadgets and no stories, strangely, apart from this one:

Any ideas?

DVD Drive not being able to boot off of. Not seen in Boot Menu options in Bios.

HI Guys,
I am having a serious problem here and Lenovo Support has been bouncing me around between Hardware and Software Support.. They are extremely uneducated and I miss Dell Support. They are not educated about their own product and it saddens me. Here is my problem and there should be a simple soulution. Please help.
1) I have a IdeaPad U 430 Touch laptop. It came pre installed with Windows 8 Home. Unfortunately Windows 8 Home did not work with any of my Business Applications..
2) I completey wiped my Hard Drive using Government Software to write 1 and 0's.. I installed Winows 7 Ultimate successfully by booting off of my External USB DVD Drive.
3) After sucessfully installing WIndows 7 Ultimate I upgraded my Bios to the latest version.
4) I am able to see my DVD Drive in WIndows 7 at the Operating System Level.
5) This is the problem I can see the External USB DVD DRIVE in Windows 7 Operating System Level. Its in Windows Explorer.. However I am unable to Boot off the DVD Drive. When I reboot the latop and press F12 the External USB DVD Drive is not listed there. This is the Same External USB DVD Drive I used to wipe the Hard Drive Clean and install Windows 7 successfully.. My Bios is set to Legacy..
6) Please Help.. Someone

hi Agent0
Thanks for Posting!
Upgrading the BIOS might set off something.
Check under Exit TAB and see if you have OS optimized or OS optimal Settings.
      Change it to other OS or Disable.
      Save and Exit
Boot into BIOS again.
      Check Boot Tab if you have now a Boot mode and Boot Priority.
       Set those to Legacy / Legacy first.
Look for Secureboot and disable it.
      Save and Exit and try the F12 and see if you can have the ODD drive as an option again.
Regards
Solid Cruver

Re: iTunes has stopped working. Why?

Resolved!
After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
Copy QTMovieWin.dll from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
And that did the trick.

My iPad is not being recognized by the computer, therefore, cannot sync. It charges when plugged to the wall, but not when pugged to iMac.

Most common culprits include the cable. Try swapping it out for a different one.. or not having the most recent version of itunes. I once even solved this problem by shutting down the computer for 2 minutes. (the longer the better), with the ipad plugged in. starting it up... then itunes recognizes it, launches, and syncs.
Apple has a troubleshooting assistant on this topic:

It will advise you to reboot. I recommend shutting down instead.

P.S The ipad should charge when asleep and plugged into your Mac. The charging behavior is normal. There isn't enough power out the USB ports to charge the ipad while it is on on some older Macs and nearly all PCs.

Hard Drive not being recognized on my Graphite Clamshell

I have a challenge for anyone. I have a ibook 366(clamshell) that is not recognizing the hd. It was working wonderfully one night I shut it down and the next day I get the flashing question mark. I've tried all of the normal stuff: zap pram, reset nvram tried to use command and s but it didn't go to the programmers screen and all the such. I can boot from a cd but none of the utilities see the hd. I have taken the hd out and connected it to a usb to ide cable that allows me to use it as an external drive and it is recognized without any problem on all of the other macs I connect it to and even on a pc (I know I said the bad word.)Does anyone have any clue what could be the issue. Every thing else seems to work fine. Just the hd is not being recognized. I even put in a different hd. I even formatted the drive using one of my macs that I only have 9.2.2 on and installed a os on it and it still didn't work. The hard drive worked fine and the os with all of its components seemed to be fine. I know it's an older system but it's something that I can let the kids play on and not be concerned with losing any of my files.
I appreciate any help
iBook 366 Graphite

Duane, Thanks for your reply. Is there any way to test this? I am going to try to see if any of the utility disks can recognize the hd. I've tried DW 4.0, the Utility Disks on OS 9, X. I've even tried FWB and a few other tools.

My battery is not being recognized, tried the updates..

So I've tried all of the software and battery updates, still getting the black x in the battery icon. I've also tried the battery from an identical (working) Macbook in my computer, still not being recognized. The battery itself is lighting up to full power, so what I'm wondering is...is it really my battery that needs to be replaced? Or could it be a different issue?
I bought my Macbook in 2008, so people are telling me the battery is old and needs to be replaced, but what worries me is a different battery already failed, so I don't want to waste my money if the battery isn't the problem.
