HT201302 pc with Vista cannot find device driver software for 3GS

Windows Explorer cannot the iPhone.  iTunes sees the 3GS, the memory alloted to pictures, but does not show over 1500 pics.  iTunes only recognizes pics in files on PC.  There are under 50 in the files.
When I plug in the iPhone, it searches for the device driver, but cannot find one. 
The iPhone is appearing in Control Panel / Auto Play.  Changing this setting makes no difference.
The iPhone also shows up in Control Panel / Device Manager as a Portable Device referred to as a Digital Still Camera, it has a yellow yield icon on it.  It says it has the correct driver. Also, below the camera listing is 5 other devices.  They are all the same listing of "Microsoft WPD FileSystem Volume Driver", they all have a yellow yield icon on them.
I have deleted all the portable devices and rebooted. They come back, however I have the same problem.
If have tried a number of things, if I recall I saw "Code 10" at one pont.  I do not remember the item it was attached to.  I will follow-up with more info as I can get.  I have had a 3GS for over 2 years.  Apple Care tried to help me very diligently on an other Vista machine and had no success.  Please Help, someone.

  • Windows vista, Ipod shuffle 4th gen.  Computer cannot find device driver software for ipod.

    After several hours trying the troubleshooting options provided by the apple support site, I have come to what I think is the issue here.  My girlfriend recently got an ipod shuffle and when plugging it into her computer the dialog pops up saying it is installing device driver software for the ipod.  Eventually it asks me to insert the CD that came with the ipod.  No CD came with the ipod, so I click the option that says "I do not have my cd".  Then it gives me the option of searching automatically or manually for the driver software.  The automatic way can't find it.  Doing it manually, with the help of the troubleshooting page, didn't work either.  google search can't seem to help me on this one.  Also, I tried plugging the ipod into my computer (not hers) and it worked fine, it was able to install the device driver software on its own.  Does anybody know the issue here?  My computer has windows 7, and hers has vista.  Hers is Serice Pack 1.  When I tried installing service pack 2 it wouldnt work.  I don't know if that is the issue though.  I have tried just about everything, I think the issue is finding the device driver software.  When I do a google search nothing comes up, so I have no idea what to do at this point.  Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

  • Install Device Driver Software for Palm TX

    My new notebook has Windows Vista and I have had my Palm TX for almost two years.  To install the Palm on my notebook I downloaded the version for Vista from Palm.com.  When I went to synchronize the Palm with the computer during the installation the message kept coming back that "device driver software" could not be found.  Where do I find the driver software?  Is it on the original CD that came with the Palm?  At this point I don't know what to do.  Can someone help me with this problem?

    mar008,
    When you upgraded to Vista, did you install over the existing XP install on the same PC or get a new computer with Vista?
    If you upgraded over the existing install of XP, you may need to do a "clean" uninstall and re-install Palm desktop. You should be able to use the original CD that you got with the TX on the Vista OS.
    Not sure why you are getting the 680 message. Did you ever have a Treo 680 or a handheld that is a different model than the TX?
    Here are the "clean" uninstall procedure for Vista.
    You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
    happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
    Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
    copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
    Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
    with Palm Desktop from your computer.
    Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
    C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
    C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
    PalmOne
    C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
    *Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
    into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
    hide hidden files.
    Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
    Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
    from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
    you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
    PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
    Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
    Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
    Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
    The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
    If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
    BUT do not turn off your computer.
    The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
    but if they are delete them)
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
    * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
    Next reboot your computer.
    Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks
    you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you
    did not sync before create a hotsync name.

  • Device Driver Software for Zire Z22

    I have a Zire Z22 palm unit and am using Windows Vista on a desktop computer. I have loaded the special Palm Desktop Software suggested for Vista. But, when I connect the Palm using the USB cable and hit the hotsync button I get a message that the device driver software must be installed. It tries to search for the needed driver, but doesn't find it, not even on the Palm software disk. Where can I find the device driver software to download so I can hotsync?
    Post relates to: Zire

    Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
    There are more than one kind of Vista...32 bit or 64 bit.  If your Vista machine is 64 bit, you are limited to syncing via IR (infrared) beaming.  Please review the threads "stickied" near the top of the Windows Hotsync board about syncing a Z22 with 64-bit Vista.
    If your Vista desktop is 32 bit, you might need to do a clean uninstall and reinstall.  Stickies have that information as well.
    BTW, I am moving this thread to the Windows Hotsync board.

  • New laptop can't find the driver software for my ipod. What should I do?

    Previously I've used a family member's computer to sync their songs onto my iPod. We have very different tastes in music so I was excited to finally get my own songs on here. I now own my own laptop and have installed the most recent iTunes. However, whenever I plug the Ipod in it says "Windows needs to install driver software for your Unknown Device" I click locate and install driver software but it doesn't work and remains an Unknown Device and I can't sync songs. Should I have a CD or something for this? I have a 2nd gen. iPod nano so if I ever did get one it's long gone now...

    Just got my new laptop and downloaded latest version of iTunes, but my iPod mini does not appear as a source. It appears in Device Manager but not My Computer. Any suggestions?

    Not sure if these are applicable to Vista but worth a try.

  • Cannot find NI-Vision software for 5431 board.

    Has it been replaced? Is it available for download?

    Ahhh. Depending on the example, you may need an IMAQ Vision VI, called WindDraw, to display the image that is being processed. If WindDraw is the only VI that's missing when you open the example program, then simply download the replacement VI. It can be found in an example program called IMAQ Display without IMAQ Vision. It should be a drop in replacement to WindDraw.
    However, if the example programs you download actually process an image, you will need the IMAQ Vision toolkit to run them.
    Let me know if you have any further questions about example programs.

  • How do I reinstall Lion if I get a new hard drive?  My mac came with Leopard and I cannot find my upgrade disk for Snow Leopard

    My MacBook Pro originally came with Leopard.  I have the OS and Applications disks for Leopard but I cannot find my upgrade disk for Snow Leopard.  I would like to perform a clean install of Lion on the new hard drive and restore some data from my Time Machine backup.  I am not looking to restore the current image to my new hard drive.  I have not yet removed the exisiting hard drive nor have I wiped my data.

    The only way to do that is to buy a New SL Retail DVD. Or you could buy the Lion Install USB thumb drive from Apple for $69.
    You must have SL installed to then install Lion or have a thumb drive with the Lion installer.
    You could also create a Lion USB Recovery thumb drive using Lion Disk Assistant. But you need to have Lion already installed and the Lion RecoveryHD Partition on your drive to make the Recovery thumb drive.
