I lost my Thunderbolt drivers

I had a Thunderbolt (TB) disk drive that I've used for about 1 yr, I attached a USB disk and my TB drivers have been deleted. How and where do I download and reinstall the TB drivers?
I'm running Mavericks 10.9.5. Thanks

Does latest version of bootcamp installed on late 2013 rMBP put thunderbolt drivers for lacie external thunderbolt/USB 3.0 drive?

does latest version of bootcamp installed on late 2013 rMBP put thunderbolt drivers for lacie external thunderbolt/USB 3.0 drive?
I am wiping my current windows bootcamp partition and reinstalling windows using disk utility /bootcamp wizard to clean up and reinstall.
just curious if the Thunderbolt drivers get installed from bootcamp/windows sofytware update as I can't remember iif i had to do it manually before. I do see it shows up on windows side in device manager and if it is pluggged in during boot screen (to windows 7 pro 64 bit) shows ASMedia drivers being loaded for it.
Thanks

thank you so much I was pretty sure it did but wanted to be 100% sure as purpose of clean install was to clean up some mishaps I did with office 2007 (custom install), etc.
Many Thanks

I've done an update on 7/25/11 as requested by itunes since I've done the update I've lost all my music and videos; also I've lost my USB drivers. What can I do to restore my 2nd Gen Ipod touch to factory?

I've done an update on 7/25/11 as requested by Itunes. Since I've done the update I've lost all my music, videos and icons. I also can't connect to any PC via the USB port. What can I do to restore my 2nd Generation Ipod Touch back to factory?

I also have a 2nd generation iPod and when the new version was being advertised on the home page, I clicked on it. And I saw that the update was compatible with iPod touch 3rd and 4th generation, iPad 1 and 2, and all the iPhones. But it wasn't compatible with iPod touch 2nd generation. So you downloaded an update which wasn't compatible with your iPod. I'm sorry.

Lost all printer drivers this morning

Went to print an AOL e-mail message and found that all of my printer drivers were gone.
The only one listed was to "One Note 2007" which is not even on my computer.
Went to HP and downloaded a new driver.
Ran a Norton review of my computer and nothing was found. Tried
to ask a question in support and was kicked out of the queue twice.
AOL started a new mail system today.

I've been seeing this a lot over the past few weeks. I can't narrow it down though... I'm in the same boat! I have several clients that use HP USB printers and they seem to lose their printer(s) every couple of days or every 2 weeks (depending). Like I said, I don't know what it is but it's becoming an issue. I've even gone so far as to reload the OS (WinXP), thinking it was a corrupt OS. The printers just disapear now and then!!!

Installed Boot Camp 3.1 on my 13" MBP and lost the audio drivers. How do I get them or how do I revert back to BC 3.0?

Installed Boot Camp 3.1 on my 13" MBP. I lost all sound via Windows. Device Mgr says the Cirrus Logic Driver installed but could not run. I am using Windows Vista Home Basic. Any suggestions? I am willing to revert to Boot Camp 3.0, which worked fine, but I can't find a download for it. Any thoughts there?
TIA,
picman

Hatter,
Thanks. Yes, I would go to 3.2 but I'm running Windows Vista and 3.2 requires Vista SP2. My problem is: My Windows partition is too small to install SP1/SP2, and I have not yet decided to go through the hassle of going to a bigger partition. Also, I'm intending to go to Lion on my MBP, which brings Version 4.0 of Boot Camp Assistant. And Boot Camp Assistant 4.0 seems to be restricted to Windows 7 (please comment on that). If so, I'm not inclined to spring for W7, since I need Windows only for Quicken.
As "they" say: Nothing is ever (or only rarely) easy.

I've lost my printer drivers

My Canon i850 has not been printing correctly for a while, and nothing I've tried to fix it, has helped, so as a last effort I thought I'd uninstall and reinstall the driver (updated). I tried the newest driver, from Canon, and it did print, but as poorly as before. Thinking maybe the other driver available (also for 10.5.8) would work, I uninstalled/installed. Tried to print but printer was not found. Then tried to go back to newest driver, but again, printer not found.
Used my 10.5.8 install disc to add 'optional' printer drivers. Installation was successful but when I click on system pref/printers/+ (for add printers) there is nothing under default and nothing in 'more'. Clicking on printers under library does show me the list I installed.
I may have caused this problem by deleting something I shouldn't have: When uninstalling, a tutorial I found explained deleting files under Printer, Receipts, and CFM--which I did and had success with the first driver download. At some point in subsequent attempts, I deleted a plist file. At this point I'm not sure if I found it in the trash, or put it there---or if it's relevant.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions about what I may have messed up, and how to fix it.
Thank you!

I have found that the Canon install procedure for its printers can be finicky unless all the steps are followed exactly. I have had a few Canon printers and multi-function devices, and in a couple of cases of experiencing something like you are facing, I went back to the original install CDs that came with the printer or device. You need to follow their instructions precisely, step by step. In every case, I ended up resolving the issue by doing this. (It might be good to uninstall any drivers you have recently installed before doing this.)
The fact that you deleted some unknown files indicates that you could benefit from this "clean reinstall."

Win 7 in Bootcamp multiple updates, Apple drivers lost?

I have a mid April 2010 MacBookPro that i have been running Windows 7 in Bootcamp & usually accessing via Parallels 5 which uses Bootcamp as a virtual machine. & running Snow Leopard
I really don't need Windows much any more, but decided I want to keep it accessible via Parallels & I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
Parallels 5 is incompatible w Mountain Lion so taking advantage of Parallels 5 to 8 upgrade offer.
So realized I'd better do some prep before all the installation & realized that I hadn't kept Windows updated--just Security Essentials. It was showing outstanding updates going back to Dec 2011. So I downloaded & installed all those. At one point I was prompted about a driver & told Windows to fix & it did--sort of.
I also had where Windows wouldn't boot during the process, but I think part of it was that it hadn't finished w installing the updates. After I shutdown it did work.
I also then went & updated Bootcamp which I had avoided doing thinking it could have been the reason for major blue screen problems in 2011.
But I'm wondering if it has lost the Apple drivers. The track pad is not working well. Not sure if it is just setting the speed (which I'm not sure where to set since I use it so infrequently) or whether the drivers got messed up.
I'm planning to shortly boot into bootcamp & run a Windows back up. (Time Machine is regularly backing up Mac side)
After that, I plan to read & follow the update procedures from Parallels to get ver 8 installed & set up which I'm hoping will go smoothly.
& then I plan to install Mountain Lion which I have downloaded. & will have to figure out how to set up the new Cloud features, etc. May set One to One for help rather than struggling on my own.
Does erratic track pad response in Windows indicate a problem w Apple drivers? I don't know why they would have gotten messed up unless it was the fact of not keeping Windows & Bootcamp updated until now doing them all at once--well Bootcamp after all the Windows updates.

Now it has gotten worse. I wish I had documented what I had done, but I think it was after I ran some addtional updates. Can't remember if it was the Office updates or the addtional Win7 updates.
But now besides the error message when I try to open my virtual machine in Parallels (which I got both before & after running Bootcamp updates), now 2x at least it did not boot into bootcamp but instead showed that there were problems & the fix screen came up. Again.
I did manage to run the Windows backup on my new WD Passport partitioned back up drive w about 50 GB formatted for Windows & the rest of it for Mac so I can use it w Time Machine.
It backed up files in libaries & personal folders for all users 1.86 GB
But I'm hesitant to go ahead & upgrade Parallels 5 to 8 w the purchased update to download & run as well as doing the upgrade Mountain Lion. It does not seem wise to install new or additional software on top of an unstable Windows/Bootcamp set up.
So wondering my options. I'm guessing that the solution to an unstable Windows OS would be to reinstall it as a clean install. But then the normal thing to do would be to run the updates which took a long time the other day & then messed things up so the track pad wasn't tracking well. Before later causing it to crash.
Just got word from Parallels suggesting a claen install into Bootcamp.
But also considering just installing it as a new virtual machine in Parallels & dispensing w Bootcamp.
I hope this makes some sense. I'm very tired but want to put these questions out there so when I get back to it, hopefully there will be some suggestions/recommendations.
Thanks.

Lost Vista drivers for Satellite L300D

I have a Satellite L300D model PSLC0E and just cleaned installed with Win 7 from vista, all ok so far but lost all my drivers from Vista and not sure what drivers I need for win 7.
I've had a look for the driver downloads, but not sure what to download and whats more important.

If you have done Win7 upgrade you don't need additional drivers.
Just if you want to make clean Win7 installation then you need all necessary drivers.
If you don't have problems with Win7 why you think you need Vista drivers?

Thunderbolt partitioned and formatted hard drive not recognized on USB2/3

I have a MBA (mid 2012) and recently purchased a Seagate Desktop Thunderbolt Adapter (STAE129), a Seagate Backup Plus 4TB USB 3.0 external drive (STCA4000100), and Apple Thunderbolt cable. The 4TB hard drive can be separated from the USB 3.0 adapter and the drive placed on the Thunderbolt adapter. I created two partitions (3TB and 1 TB) on the 4TB drive while it was mounted on the Thunderbolt adapter and formatted them Mac OS Extended (Journaled) using partition map scheme GPT. Everything works as expected, the drive hits r/w speeds in the 180 MB/s range (using Blackmagic Disk Speed Test), and no issues at all transferring data to the 3TB partition and using the 1TB partition for TimeMachine.
However, if I disconnect the hard drive from the Thunderbolt adapter and place it on the USB 3.0 adapter and connect it to my MBA, Mountain Lion says "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer and gives me the options to Initialize, Ignore, or Eject. Going into Disk Utility app, the drive shows up without the partitions I created when the same drive was mounted to the Thunderbolt adapter (just shows disk1s1). In fact, the drive label (Disk Description) is different too and the Partition Map Scheme now shows MBR!
To try work-arounds, I went ahead and repeated the partitioning and formatting steps with the drive attached via USB 3.0 and all works fine until I put the drive back on the Thunderbolt adapter where once again OSX reports that the disk is not readable. I've even tried a single partition with no luck. In short, the drive partitioned and formatted on Thunderbolt is unrecognized under USB and vice versa.
Shouldn't the disk preparation and data be consistent across these different interfaces? I would think so. My biggest concern is that if I had a failure in the Thunderbolt setup (assuming the drive itself does not fail), then I can't access my data. This is not a very comfortable situation.
I'm assuming I've overlooked a very basic detail. Appreciate any steer to solve this problem.
Thanks,
Rob

Thanks for that, I recently ran into the same problem. I even chatted with Seagate tech support and they didn't know the answer.
My situation is a bit different from you. I bought the 3 TB Thunderbolt version of the drive directly and then purchased a USB 3 adaptor seperately. You see, I still own a 3 year old Macbook Pro that doesn't come with a Thunderbolt port. I was looking to upgade to a MacBook Air later. I thought that I might as well buy the TB version now.
In anycase, my old MacBook Pro won't see the drive when I use the USB3 adaptor. I get the same exact error message as you did. I can't really test it on Thunderbolt since I don't have one. I'm going to go install the Thunderbolt drivers now and hopefully, it will recognize the drive afterwards. I'll let you know what happens.
BTW, I was thinking of reformatting the drive with NTFS so that I can use the drive on PCs. My mac has the NTFS drivers loaded so it's no problem. I hope this won't screw up the Thunderbolt connection later when I do get the Macbook Air?

HP CM1312MPF drivers don't work via Windows 7 but works fine via Linux dual booting

HP CM1312MPF drivers don't seem work using Windows 7 (64-bit) . Original HP drivers CD now lost. Current drivers were downloaded from HP's website. (This webpage has a number of drivers and most 64-bit ones have been tried. Prior to my Windows re-install, the machine printed and scanned satifactoralily in Windows 7. One day this O/S refused to boot and had to be fully re-installed. The reinstall has been tried on both a SSD and on a HDD. (I have 3 x HDDs and 1 x SSD in this Desktop system. and I dual boot Windows7 and Linux Mint with data on its own HDD.) No attempt has yet been made to scan after this Windows re-install, as I have a separate photo scanner. I mainly wish on the to print on CM1312MPF, however it did scan perfectly well prior to the reinstall of Windows. THE CM1312MPF PRINTS FINE VIA THE SAME USB OUTPUT LEAD (AND POWERED HUB) AS VIA LINUX MINT 17 (PETRA) when I dual boot and without any PHYSICAL CHANGES between changing O/Ss. It must be a driver problem, surely, mustn't it? I look forward to your help. John_of_Penrith

You can also disable that windows wireless "Critter" from device manager and it shouldn't ever again show-up in your adapter list. Thanks for the lesson. I too have wondered about the windows virtual adapter and what it's for. I never had it show-up in my adapters though in the network and sharing center. That was strange that it happened to you. I also occasionally just go to device manager and reload the adapter that came with laptop-not the windows one. It
seems to keep it running fairly well since there have been no new drivers for it. I think it was an experiment or something called the DW1501 Wireless half-mini n that came with my Dell Inspiron N7010 laptop. I don't particularly like it as compared to the other wireless adapters in my home, this thing is slow on downloads, but I don't want to bother to get a new adapter.
Anyhow thanks for the interesting lesson.

Satellite A135-S4527 - Drivers needed & Function Keys do not work

Hello,
I have a Satellite A135-S4527. But, when I got this computer it was without a recovery disk / Vista Reinstall Disk and the Vista OS that was installed was a bloated mess - it was highly used by a individual of lesser intellect. Anyway, I decided to take out that Hard Drive and put in my SSD with Windows XP Professional SP3.
Thats when the problems started rolling in. Turns out Toshiba does not support Windows XP Operating System - I checked the site and was surprised to see a complete lack of support for Windows XP ( even though Windows XP is the dominant OS and was even more so when this laptop was made).
I managed to get the drivers installed, for everything but the modem. Easiest to find drivers were from Intel for the Chipset / Motherboard and the Legacy Graphical Processing Unit. The thing is, I am not sure whether or not these are the official drivers and I am completely lost on the drivers for the modem. Any idea where I can acquire the -latest and greatest- drivers for all my components?
Also there are a few problems,
- Function Keys For Brightness Do Nothing
- Laptop sometimes does not come out of sleep mode
What can I do about the brightness keys? The monitor is sometimes a bit too bright to be comfortable to use. Yet I am having no luck making those keys actually do anything.
Any help appreciated.

Hi
From my knowledge this must be a Toshiba US notebook series.
Therefore I visited the Toshiba US driver page to check the driver availability.
And guess what? I found it but unfortunately there are no many Win XP drivers.
There are Vista and Win 7 drivers available but no Win XP.
I guess that this is everything what is available for Win XP.
So what to do????
I think you should try to install the missing tools which are released for other notebook series; for example A105-Sxxxxxx
Maybe you will get the driver working
Lets hope. Otherwise you will have to use the notebook without such functions
