Zr300 Via USB cable is not recognized by my window 8 OS

The operating system windows 8 is not recognizing Canon ZR300 for loading into my computer for editing. I have a Dell 660s that only has USB, no fire wire which nearly outdated since the USB is faster now.
On the Canon sight it stated they have no driver specific to that camera concerning Windows 8. That Windows 8 OS would likely have dirver included in it.
Is it possible the USB cables I have which are older may not be compatible to the 3.0 and 4.0 etc. USB cards?
Thank in advance for your response.

Hi Wilbert!
Thanks for posting!
In order to transfer the video from the camcorder, a firewire connection must be used.

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?
Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

What is different usb cable and direct cable?

What is different USB cable and direct cable?
Some cable detect by USB port directly like DKU-5.
But not CA-42 cable why it just simple cable. Also in market available fake is it working Nokia mobile phone

Hello,
These are two different technologies. One is USB oriented and another one for COM-port. I use CA-53 (USB-cable), which suits to the latest phones.

My Lightning to USB Cables can not work

Hi,
I brought an Ipad Air about 2 weeks ago. And today only to find the Lightning to USB Cables can not work. Can I get help from you？

I can't help you, but if your cables don't work, you can visit your local Apple Store, and they'll likely give you free replacements. (That happened with my iPad Mini.)

MSI Z87-GD65 USB Razer Megalodon not recognized by windows!?

Hi guys, I recently just upgraded my PC and everything is okay except my USB Headphones are not recognized on this system oO I had to reinstall windows to get the motherboard to be compatible with my setup and after updating windows and looking up the problem, I haven't found an answer.
The Headphones work 100% sure because they worked on my old mobo and my laptop that is right next to me.
Says its an unknown device and has a ? next to it. Also these headphones use the Windows USB Generic Audio Driver but for some reason its not working.
Any help would be appreciated alot

Try the latest Bios: >>Beta BIOSes<<
I will check for a newer version as well right now.
Edit: .141 is the latest.
Might want to check for a firmware update for the usb device as well.
Edit#2: Install the ram properly and see if that changes anything. Locking this topic as it is a duplicate.

I have a new Nano and I get a message that says the USB device is not recognized by my computer and I cannot set it up.

I have a new IPod Nano and when trying to connect to my PC for the first time I get a fault message that says the "USB Device is not recognized by my computer. I have several other IPod devices and have never had this problem. When I go to windows explorer, the device does not show at all, so I cannot manually open it.

Hello JETaylor2015,
Congratulations on your new iPod nano! I would be concerned too if my iPod was not recognized by iTunes or my computer. I recommend reviewing this article for steps to take when your iPod is not recognized:

My ipad identifies my charging cable as not recognized, although it was bought at the same store, at the same time as the ipad. It charged for awhile, but now won't turn on or even charge. Any ideas?

My ipad identifies my charging cable as not recognized, although it was bought at the same store, at the same time as the ipad. It charged for awhile, but now the ipad won't turn on or even charge. I still have all the packaging and receipt as proof. Any ideas why? Purchase was over a year ago, so I can't get Apple help on the phone.

Try moving and wiggle the devise if that works the port or the tip of the charger is Brocken if the wire is an apple chatter made by Apple it should not I give your problems I've it in a forren ore different manufacturer that could be the problem apple suggest all apples devises should all ways charges and sync with an apple manufactured charger for the best proformance don't try other doggy chargers made from other manufactures.
Hope this works

What kind of USB cable is required for the SX600?

I recently purchased the PowerShot SX600 HS point and shoot and it did not come with a USB cable. I tried various cables I have, but none of them fit the output on the camera. Is there a specification I can ask for when I go to the electronics store to purchase one?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Two small things: "Mini-B" also goes by the name Mini USB, to differentiate it from "Micro USB". It'll help if you're looking online where there are a gazillion cables.
And two: I would highly recommend getting a cable with a ferrite bead. It's a high frequency filter. I've used cables without them that functioned alright, but I've also had issues. If you're going to buy one, you might as well get one with the filter. Like this one (the filter is the little cylinder on one end):

USB cable will not plug into my 6555.

The USB cable that came with my 6555 will Not plug into the phone. It seems to be slightly too big. The Nokia Accessories page lists CA-101 as the right one (for $30.00). However, the cable that came in the box has no designation so I cannot confirm the right cable was packaged. I bought this phone at Best Buy and there is no reference on their web site for a USB cable accessory. I do not want to order a $30 part to replace one that was mis-packaged. Does anyone have experience with these micro-USB cables and can confirm which is the right one and where to obtain one? Regards.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As promised here is my follow up.
I went to Best Buy and talked to the sales team lead. The cable that was packaged in the 6555 box has a *mini* USB connection. The pjone requires a *micro* USB connection. So, my assessment that the cable end would not fit was accurate. The box was missing a small adapter that converts the mini cable end to a micro cable end. He offered to sell me a universal USB cable with the adapter included for half the listed retail price. I paid $8.00. (better than the $30 for a CA-101 from Nolia).
The adapter fits the 6555 USB port. I tried both the universal cable and the Nokia cable to link to 2 of my PCs (w/ Win XP) after installing the Nokia PC Suite. Neither worked. It seems that the PC does not recognize that the phone is there. I know there are other posts with related issues on this forum. So I will drop this thread and search for answers to the latest problem.
Thank you to all the folk who have shown an interest here and posted your thoughts / suggestions.. Regards, Bryan

USB flash drive not recognized by computer. Have tried all options of which I can think.

Okay. I have a Patriot S-Mini 32GB flash drive that my Windows 8.1 HP Slimline 400-434 is not recognizing. I believe it recognized it once, and has refused to do so since. My laptop (Windows 7 Toshiba) recognizes it just fine.
All other USB devices function perfectly on this computer. USB mouse/keyboard/USB Hub/Apple iPhone cable.
1. I have tried unplugging all other USB devices before trying this one. FAIL
2. I have gone to Device Management and the USB drive does not appear in the list. FAIL
3. I have uninstalled the USB Root Hubs and restarted the computer. FAIL
4. I have tried plugging the USB drive into the rear ports that plug directly into the motherboard. FAIL
5. I have updated the drivers, and have been unable to find a BIOS update as the link on the HP website downloads and says that it is incompatible for my computer. FAIL
...so what the bloody gorram heck do I do now?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Okay, and in the most ridiculous way I have ever solved a technical problem...
The USB flash cannot be inserted ALL the way into the port. It has to be inserted slowly, so that the contacts line up.
I figured this out by trying to connect it into my USB hub and noticing that the red indicator light was going on and off as I inserted the USB drive, flickering on as I inserted it and then off once it was all the way in.
Weird. But hey. It works now.
