Imac in windows xp will not recognize any CD's

I am having a problem with with my imac in windows. It seems to me that it is not recognizing any cd that is placed in the drive. I tried to re-install my Mac install disc 1 for a bootcamp repair.. but could not find it on the drive to start it up. I did have a blue screen last night, telling me that it was reformatting my drive. This was after I installed a driver from HP website. I hope I do not have to reinstall Windows XP again! Does any one know why my Music CD's and Software CD'S and even Mac Install Disc is not recognized and do not start up. Thank-You

Not sure that this helps, but The Zen Vision M relies on Windows Media Player 0 (Windows Media Player 0 was the player that came with Windows XP). If you are running Windows XP you need to roll back your Windows Media Player (which has probably been updated to ) back to 0. If however you are running Windows 7 there is a bigger problem in that you cannot (as far as I've been able to ascertain) roll back to Windows Media Player 0 because Windows 7 won't support it

  • I have Windows 8.1 on my PC. Ever since downloading the latest version of i Tunes 11.1.4 it will not recognize any of my i Pods (3). Never had any problems syncing until this latest version of i Tunes.Manual sync is "grayed out", any ideas ? Thanks

    I have Windows 8.1 on my PC. Ever since downloading the latest version of i Tunes, it will not recognize any of my i Pods (3) and therefore am unable to sync any music from my i Tunes to the i Pods. I've tried all the obvious things like resarting the PC as well as the i Pods tried different patch cables but the i Tunes software will no longer recognize my i Pods. I have automatic sync selected, but I even tried to manually sync by clicking on devices under File but the sync icon is "grayed" out. When I look under Preferences and click on devices the serial numbers of my i Pods appear and are correct but again will not recognize the i Pod when plugged in to the PC. Bottom line I'm dead in the water....appreciate any suggestions....thanks

  • DVD Drive will not recognize any movie DVD disk in the drive - thus will not play any dvd movies.

    HP G71 449WV dvd drive will not recognize any dvd disc that has a movie on it. Will not play movies, keeps saying to insert disc when there is a disc in there.  It will recognize a dvd data disc or a blank dvd, it just will not recognize any dvd movies.  I've tried the microsoft fix it, downloaded new codecs, using different dvd playback software but none of that works since the drive will not recognize there is even a dvd movie in the drive.  Computer is out of warranty.

    Hello crollinsphoto1, welcome to the HP Forums.
    It appears that you're not able to play movie DVD's in the DVD player in your notebook. I will try to assist you with this.
    I'd recommend starting with this document:
        Resolving DVD and Blu-ray Movie Problems (Windows 7).
    Also, are these purchased DVD's or burnt DVD's?  
    Do the movies play in other sources? (DVD player, other PC)
    Let me know how this goes.
    Thanks.

    Hello, bone61. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.  If the issue persists try all remaining steps.

  • Windows 7 will not recognize the ipod.

    I have an ipod 4th touch 64 gig. Windows 7 will not recognize the ipod. It will make the noise of a connection and will only charge. It will not show in my computer as a hard drive. It will show in Itunes and other third party programs. I have searched the net and tried most of the advice to try and fix but will still not show as a hard drive.
    Has anyone had this problem and if so is there a fix?
    thanks

    I did read along the way about some of the ipods not being recognized as a HD. I just installed Iexplorer and looks like it will do the job. As long as I have something other than Itunes to see it as a HD. I use Syncios and Copy Trans and both work great as to transfer music. But to see the ipod as a HD iexplorer will do the Job.
    Again my ipod 4th gen will show in my computer but only the DCIM folder and a few other with pictures, no music folder or the control folder from the ipod.
    My ipad works great and another ipod the long thin ones work but not this ipod touch 4 gen 64 gig.
    Any other suggestions or help much appreciated
    thanks for the iexplorer it should help

  • APE11 will not recognize any blu-ray media

    I have APE11 and attempting to burn a project to blu-ray. My problem is that APE11 recognizes the blu-ray burner but will not recognize any blu-ray discs. I have tried various BD-R and BD-R DL discs to no avail. I receive a "Media not present" message. If I select the same burner but choose to create a DVD, I receive a "Incompatible disc" message. This leads me that it sees the discs but I'm not sure what's up with the blu-ray option. The blu-ray discs are Verbatim and Windows recognizes the discs as well. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

    robertjeffrey
    What Blu-ray burner do you have? Is it recognized in the Device Manager under DVD/CD-ROM drives? Driver and Firmware up to date?
    What burn software came with the Blu-ray burner? If it is part of the CyberLink family, can you use the PowerProducer of the series to burn to Blu-ray disc format on a Blu-ray disc using these Blu-ray discs that Premiere Elements burn dialog is labelling "Media Not Present"? I would like to see the results of that test if possible.
    Just to get it out of the way (maybe helpful), let us flush the preferences...
    Assuming your Premiere Elements 11 is on Windows 7 or 8 64 bit....
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    11
    and in the 11 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs Folder that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 11 Folder in which it exists.Make sure that you are working with Folder Options/Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the path described.
    If that does not work, a complete Deactivation from Help Menu/Deactivate followed by the usual Control Panel uninstalled followed by reinstall may be in order. I am hoping the results from a CyberLink PowerProducer burn to may give us some valuable information so that we do not have to resort to uninstall/reinstall.
    Are you using BD-R 25 GB 2X? What is this BD-R DL? Is that the 50 GB for Blu-ray? Do you have any BD-RE 25 GB 6X? How much are you planning on putting on this Blu-ray disc in terms of Space Required and duration?
    Let us start here and then we can decide what next.
    Thanks.

  • My USB ports will not recognize any devices, iPhone or external drives. Keyboard and printer work, any suggestions?

    My USB ports will not recognize any devices, iPhone or external drives. Keyboard and printer work, any suggestions?

    I'd start by looking in system profiler.
    the blue Apple icon > About this Mac > More info...
    goto the hardware section. Scroll down and click on  USB
    See what happens when you have the device plugged in & not plugged in.
    Move keyboard & mouse around to verify that ports work. Plug device in a port that worked with keyboar or mouse.  Keyboard usb ports are rather low power.
    Perhaps device is taking too much power.  Are devices power or unpowered?  Try connecting devices to a usb hub.

  • HT1449 I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch).  All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices

    I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch).  All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices. Help please

    The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    The Apple store will do this for you,  you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.

  • My ipad2 message will not  recognize any of my contacts any suggestions used to work

    My message quit working. Will not recognize any of my contacts. Any suggestions?

    Panther is quite outdated operating system, it would be better if you could upgrade atleast to 10.4 "Tiger", 10.5 "Leopard" is the last operating system which will work with PowerPC -processors (G3, G4 and G5) so you might want to upgrade as much as you can at once. Apple does not seem to host any versions of iTunes on their website which would work on 10.3 "Panther". iTunes 10.1 will not work with Panther. I Googled quickly and it seems that iTunes 7 is the last series which workd on 10.3 but they might too old to support your new iPods.
    I think you'll need to upgrade your OS.

    If you're installing it correctly (see http://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb2/common/articl​e/43543_en.html#N10284), then I'd wager something is wrong with the phone and will need an exchange.

    There is a 3 inch section of the window that will not respond or recognize the mouse. It will not let you click on the icons or screen in any way. This is the only program we are experiencing this problem with.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • My HP Pavillion w/Windows XP will not recognize my new External HDD

     HP Pavillion w/Windows XP Media Center   m7267c Desktop PC
    Is it necessary to pay a outside Driver manager to restor the ability of my PC to instal Driver Software for devices that the specific Mfg states should already have present on my OS?
    I purchased a Western Digital 2TB External Drive ( WDBAAUOO20HBK-01 )  to free up my packed Internal HDD. I made sure it was a "USB 2.0" device. But the PC will not recognize the external HDD device.
    Please help if you can

    BTW...the Drivers that are supposed to work are :
