IPod undetected in Win XP Pro Sp 2

Just got a used 40gb ipod photo, have it on the dock, connecting to my win xp pro system using the firewire cable. Charges and everything, but completely invisible to windows (itunes, ipod updater, etc.) Have tried resetting, going into disk mode, disconnecting and reconnecting from the system, and reinstalling itunes and ipod updater. Still zilch. Help!

Ipod touch triggering Win XP Pro stop error upon plugin to USB port....

Okay this is a curious conundrum with a problem that I suspect lies somewhere between my itunes and my touch. A week or so ago, my ipod was still syncing fine as normal and I was at my sister's house with my laptop. Just now tried to remember what exactly I synced because I got a few new apps that weekend and was using a neighbor's wifi (and a weak reception of it too) to download them and wasn't able to download the last one which I do remember was the tap tap revolution.
When I did get home I plugged the laptop back up on my desk and plugged back in my usb devices (external optical drive, num pad, 2nd HD, mouse, and security doggle) and brought it out of hibernation. Don't remember though in what order things happened though I think it was that I let the app finish downloading and then plugged in the touch and I got a stop error and reboot...or got the BSD immediately and a reboot....
Anyway ever since then when I usually plug in and attempt to sync my touch I get the BSD and the whole schebang is so finicky as to the EXACT timing for me to plug it in and NOT have a BSD. Can't leave it plugged in b/c it would BSD again during chkdsk startup and/or reboot, and half the time it still BSDs on the welcome screen (again depending on what time I plug in the cable)
None of my other devices and USB drives error out my system, only when I plug in the touch now. Is it because of a bug in the Ipod software version 2.1?
Oh btw, the other morning the pod locked up on me and I plugged it in to see if that would get it working right again and I heard the sound effect for a device plugin but not the sound on the ipod that "says" that it's being charged and there was no bluescreen. I decided to reset it to factory default but didn't have time to wait for it to complete but came home from work to see that evidently when the backup was restoring the current software version it did cause a BSD and I'm not sure if it cycled or how many times but the laptop did seem to have locked up in an inbetween state so I depowered it and spent a few hours trying to get the ipod to be syncing again.
So yea it's wierd....there's something about the new software version because the original factory settings never conflicted and when the ipod was locked up, there was no error, but when the restoration restored back up to the original set of icons, it errored the computer.
Any ideas???

oh I forgot, when I reported the critical error to M$, my Firefox popped up with a page saying the stop error was to a camera driver...that's even further confusing.

Ipod nano 4th gen not connecting to win 7 pro

When Im connecting my Ipod nano 4th gen on Win 7 pro It is showing up in system manager as a regular Usb mas storage device. I have attempted to change the to the apple driver and the software responds with the most current software is already loaded. After many attemps it will not see it as a apple device.
Ideas?

I thought the next step was to try it on another computer. still the same..
so I tried it with a diffrent operating system-Still did the same.
I think I have a bad ipod. back to the store it goes

HT1329 i have re-installed I-tunes and have a new operating system (Win 7 Pro). I now cannot sync as I-tunes says my I-Pod is already connected to a library and wants to erase my music on the I-Pod. What do i do to get around this problem?

An iPod is designed to be synced with only one computer/iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync the iPod with a new/different iTunes library, iTunes on the new/different computer will replace the contents currently on the iPod with whatever is currently stored in its own library.
If the music and content on your iPod is not in iTunes or in a backup somewhere you can use the information in this user tip from another forum member turingtest2 to help you copy this content from the Nano back to the PC and into iTunes.

Sync taking hours - iphone 3GS Win XP Pro SP3

Hey,
Had a search but couldn't find anything of any use.
PC is newly formatted Win XP pro SP3
Phone is iphone 3GS 32gb 3.1.3 about 6 months old
Total memory on phone used is about 12gb
I have done this two times, one as a fresh update syncing the phone and one with a copied library from before the format.
This might just be a "PC" thing that I will have to live with but since going to 3.1.3 and the latest version of itunes syncing my iphone its taking well so far over an hour and a half to sync the phone!!
Originally when I bought the phone with 3.1.2 with itunes 9.? (December) it was syncing in about 10mins.
The previous version of itunes in mid\late march had huge memory leaks which explained why it wouldnt sync or update but this new version seems to sync but it takes forever!
The sync times do not affect my ipods, I have two classic ipods (80 & 160gb) which it takes no time to sync and works fine.
Any suggestions? Apart from buying a mac!!

The most common issue with long backup is users that keep way too many photos in the TEMPORARY camera roll.
Do you copy off photos from your camera roll on a routine basis and then sync back to their own libraries any photos you wish to keep on the phone.
The camera roll is a special place not meant to really keep on storing images for long term. It is treated differently than the rest of the file system.

Running Dual boot windows 8 and win 7 pro with xp mode installed!! I love it!!

It took over 2 days to figure out how to adjust the bios to get my win 7 pro DVD to boot and install dual boot on this GREAT MACHINE!!
Step 1: using diskmgmt.msc you have to shring the C partition. I shrunk it so I had 80GB remaining as unallocated space.
Step 2: You have to enter the machine Bios adn set the BIOS to Both and UEFI as first
Step 3: Connect your usb dvd
Step 4: Put your win 7 pro dvd in the usb dvd drive
Step 5: Reboot your machine and when it starts press F12 to get the boot menu and select the usb dvd drive then press enter
The machine restarts
Message on screen says press a key to boot from cd/dvd
Press space and it boots up the win 7 pro DVD
After files copy and load the setup screen asks to accept the agreement and where to install win 7
BE SURE TO SELECT THE 80GB location
Then follow thru the win 7 prompts to load it.
When the machine restarts you will see a dual boot screen with Windows 7 on top as first selection and Windows 8 below it as 2nd selection.
Make sure to hit enter with windows 7 selected
The win 7 installation completes.
You will see many items with drivers not installed dont fret.
You can load most of the drivers by highlighting the device in control panel/device manager and pick update driver then select BROWSE for DRIVER and be sure to put in drive D:\ which is now the windows 8 drive and hit search.
Many of the windows 8 drivers installed with no issue.
The Realtek driver was an exception .. goto to the lenovo site and pick the x100e tablet and download the LAN driver from there about (4MB). Copy it to flash drive and install it in win 7 from the .exe file. The driver for LAN will install sucessfully. The version of the driver is 7.46 something the 7.11 versions do not workl.
I have only 3 drivers that I could not find - 2 list as unknown and are related to ACPI or power management and 1 lists as USB controller but all the USB stuff works without it.
Be sure to either shutdown the system or sign out of win 8 when your done so you get the dual boot menu. If you shutdown while logged into win 8 the next time you start up it will go right to win 8 until you signout and restart.
Just to let you know an easy way to shutdown is go to the desktop and press ALT + FN + F4 and a shutdown menu comes up on the desktop.
Once win 7 pro is installed you can download the XP mode free from Microsoft and install it.
This is of course AFTER you have ACTIVATED WINDOWS 7 ONLINE with YOUR ACTIVATION KEY(you supply).
ENJOY! This is the BEST machine I ever had!

It's been many, many years since I don't do dual boot anymore. Don't find the reason to do it, either. Different kinds of virtualization should be enough. Anyway...

Steps to be taken if Win XP Pro has to be reinstalled on the desktop attached to WRT54GX2 router...

I have to reinstall Win XP Pro on my primary desktop PC attached to the WRT54GX2 router due to virus/trojan issues. The router is running V22 of the firmware I believe. I will have to reformat the hard drive on the primary PC attached to the router. I have two other desktops that have WMP54GX wireless adapters that are running fine. I've created a config backup file for the WRT54GX2's current config if needed. Can someone give a link or clear step-by-step instructions on what steps I'll need to take after Win XP Pro is reinstalled on the primary PC to reestablish my network. Will I need to config backup file at all or will the router/wireless adapters be largely unaffected by the OS reinstall? Thanks in advance, Chris

Hi!
Chris,
If in case you reinstall the O.S of the wired P.C..... In Normal cases you don't have to do anything with the router.........because the router does not install any settings on a P.C .
Once you have reinstalled the O.S(operating system)..does powercycle the entire network(i.e first unplug the power from the router...then the powercable from the modem....wait for 30 sec..and then power on the modem first...wait for the lights on the modem to become stable and plug in the router...) and your P.C should be able to connect to the internet..
And as your wireless P.C's are working fine you don't have to work on them at all..
If in Case you still face any issues...Revert Back to me!!

Win 7 Pro not connecting to remote Win 7 pro via port 3389

I have a new Dell XPS 8700 Win Pro 64 bit that will not connect to work machine of same specs, i.e, XPS 8700 Win 7 Pro. Ironically an old lap top running XP Pro
will connect to work computer. I have a new Dell laptop with Win 8.1 pro that will not connect either. I tried everything, uninstalled Symantec End point, shut off the Windows Firewall, did a complete
hardware check via Dell Diagnostics, made sure network discovery was on as well as all remote services, turned on RD, changed every setting on the RD dialog box, pinged the external IP and it timed out. None of the forums seem to have an answer and I
am at wits end. I set up 15 machines at work under Win 7 for RD and all are working with Win 7 Pro.

Hello Al Wayne,
What is your current situation?
Please share us more information for better analyzation as Frederik Long mentioned.
Do you mean that the Dell XPS 8700 and laptop can’t RDP to work Windows 7 machines, but the Windows XP laptop can RDP to?
Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. Share us the result of command ipconfig /all in the source and destination computers
2. Check if we can ping the Windows 7 machines from the Dell XPS 8700 and laptop
Best regards,

Win 7 Pro or Win 8 Pro on W530

My W530 arrives in a few days. It is pre-configured for Win 7 Pro, but comes with a Win 8 Pro installation DVD.
I know Win-7 reasonably well. I've installed Win-8 on several laptops, keeping what's good (the updated OS), adding the "start" button, and rarely, if ever, dealing with the "Metro" screen.
For those of you who have used both, is the W530 equally useful with either OS, or is there a good reason to use one other than the other?
I assume all the future development from Microsoft will be going towards Win-8, the new "Windows Blue" that will be available sometime soon, and that Win-7 will eventually get much less attention. I think that's a good reason to start out with Windows 8 now, unless the W530 works better with the older OS.
Any advice from people who have used both?

Hi mikemyers
If you are still using some legacy applications or games, it is better to use Windows 7. (Some of the current games are still not compatible for Windows 8)
If you are only using new applications, it is better to use Windows 8 as it provides better overall and much better startup performance.
Personally, with the start button with "StartIsBack", I would prefer Windows 8 for better performance and battery life.

Windows Update Loop - Win 7 Pro - x64 :: Error 80071A91

Hi,
"There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete. Restart Windows and run sfc again"
I've got the error (80071A91) that others have experiences while trying windows update and for the life of me I cannot get the updates to install.
Looking for the past 4 hours via Google, trying different recommended things and still no luck

I've tried #fsutils resourse set autorevert=true (or something, can't find the exact post as I've rebooted so many times)
I've tried dismc.exe (or similar without success)
Basically I'm stuck with these updates (~10 of them) always sitting there downloading, installing every time I shut down the PC.
Running a system repair disk created in windows still does not allow #sfc /scannow....

Any information or help on this is appreciated. I don't want to reformat and reinstall, I don't really want to 'repair' and wipe my current software installation so I'm hoping there is a way.
Anyway I can get the 'pending state' removed.?
Thanks in advance

Hi, I've rebooted into Repair mode (Console), (because repair said windows is installed on E:) run dism.exe /image:E:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions
This gave a message about small scratch space but did say something out a fix. Upon reboot into safemode with console I received the same message
"C:\Windows\system32>sfc /scannow

There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete. Restart Windows and run sfc again."
I then rebooted and tried SCF again, no luck... Same message, same updates still sitting there.

Personas suddenly not working Firefox 30, 31, 32 on Win 7 Pro x64 and Linux Mint 16 x64

Personas which have been working for a long time suddenly quit working on Win 7 and Linux. I tried changing to a different persona to change the background for the top border of the window and it just goes to some odd color and the personas just don't show up. This has been with Firefox 30, 31, 32. The personas still work with Win XP Pro run as a virtual machine on Win 7 host or Win 8 host. I thought it was a Windows thing until I saw the same problem with Linux. Everything else seems normal so this isn't a real bad problem. It's just odd.

IPhone 4S doesnt show charge symbol and charges very slowly on brand new MacBook Pro. Not recognised by iTunes. Charges fine on Asus laptop. iPod charges fine on Macbook Pro...

Hi!
I'm trying to fix a problem I'm having with my iPhone 4S and MacBook Pro.
I did manage to connect it initially and set it up with XCode as well as iTunes.
Today I have spent two hours trying to connect it to my MacBook Pro and I have so far found the following...
iPod 2G - charges from MacBook Pro, Wall Charger, Asus Laptop (works with both my Apple USB cables)
iPhone 4S - doesnt charge from MacBook Pro, but does from Wall Charger and Asus Laptop
                  - Asus Laptop running Linux Mint recognises the iPhone as a device with 'lsusb' and you can browse photos etc
                  - MacBook Pro doesn't recognise the iPhone as a device with the 'systemprofiler' equivalent of lsusb
                  - Interestingly, despite the charging icon not showing, the iPhone either maintains charge or very, very slowly charges
                     when connected to the MacBook Pro.
Any ideas as to what might be wrong? I've tried both the USB ports on the MacBook Pro and no difference. I've tried the 6 ports
on my old Asus laptop and they all work fine!
Thanks for your help!

OK.. Went to the Apple Store - they could either book an appointment with a Genius.. or send the phone for
testing and repair. Found out I have a 2 year warranty on it so have a year left.
My research has led me to assume that the USB 2.0 function of my iPhone was faulty from the day I got it (it kept disconnecting the reconnecting but transferred data fast), but soon stopped doing that and ran at about 1MB/s - USB 1.1 speed - and has done this ever since.
The MacBook Pro somehow is trying to use the USB2.0 function and is not letting the phone fall back to USB 1.1.
To test my theory I found an old USB 1.1 hub... plugged it into the MacBook Pro... then plugged the iPhone
into that. Job done. Charging fine, recognised every single time I connect, and only took a few secs to send over my XCode app to the phone and runs fine! I guess this works as the hub forces the iPhone and MacBook both to USB1.1 mode which then works fine! Will just use it like this for a few months then send it in at an opportune moment (want to get some apps out before I lose my device for repair for a while!)
I will in the next week or so test my iPhone on my friend's MacBook Pro (we bought them the same day but I didn't get the Retina cos I like to be able to upgrade RAM, Hard Drive, and replace battery when it wears out). I will also test their iPhones on my MacBook Pro to see whether it really is the phone or the MacBook!
PS I will get WiFi Sync running since transferring 60GB of data over USB1.1 won't be fun... will do a full factory reset on the phone just in case there is an issue there - will post results of this too!

Lightroom 5.6 on Win 7 Pro 64 bit SP1 tying up CPUs, running very slowly

Hi,
I have Lightroom 5.6. Whenever I use the Spot removal, Graduated filter, Radial filter or Adjustment brush tools in the develop module, it ties up the 6 CPU cores (as viewed in Task Manager) so everything goes very slowly. For example, the effect of a stroke with the Adjustment brush only appears on screen after 5 seconds or more. Sometimes it gets so bad that I have to kill the process and restart Lightroom. It affects other programs running at the same time, as they can't get enough CPU. It is basically unusable. An edit that should take five minutes can take an hour.
The problem happens when I either
In the Library module I select an image that I have previously used the tools mentioned above on
or
In the Develop module when I use those tools.
It is not just an issue with Lr 5.6 - previous versions also did this on my system.
My workflow is:
Browse the library module, adding images to a collection (Canon EOS 7D raw)
For each image in the collection I:
Select the image
Create a virtual copy
Stack the original and copy together
Edit the copy
Export AdobeRGB 16 bit PSD to Photoshop for sharpening and conversion to CMYK
Place the image into my InDesign document
I occasionally use Perfect Photo Suite 8.x on my images from within Lightroom.
I have been a software developer for over 30 years, so I'm not doing anything stupid. Lightroom is just spinning the CPU cores to no effect, like it has a thread or threads in an infinite loop.
I typically have Lightroom, Photoshop (CC or CS6) and InDesign CS6 running at the same time. All three together occupy just over half of the available RAM.
I have a prettty fast machine (see the specs below) and other software does not tie it up like this (except rendering video in Pr or Ae, which I expect).
I have tried googling for an answer, with no success.
I feel this is an issue that Adobe ought to provide technical assistance for, given the technical nature and severity of the problem.
Please help.

Thank you curve8530curve8330 for stepping up and helping me out ...
I think I'll try re-installing the BB Desktop Software 7.1.0.41 ... the ' ... no BB Device Software installed ... ' GUI message has me concerned that there has been a Registry disconnect somehow involving the USB driver software registered with BB D. S. 7 ... this would indeed be a Windows 7 problem ... I'll update the thread and give you credit for pointing me in this direction ... if it works.
However, to be clear, I am connecting my 9630 using a USB interface cable connected to a USB 2.0 port on the Win 7 system ... I am not removing the 8GB MicroSDHC card from the phone and then utilizing a MicroSD to SD adapter or SD port ... whatsoever.
And , as for connecting via another computer, now that I have thought about this some more, that may have been what precipitated the problem in the first place ... I had experimentally tried re-connecting the 9630 to an XP Pro SP3 32-bit notebook loaded with BB D. M. 5.0.1.28 ... (after never having done so again since the Win 7 Pro SP1 64-bit / BB D. S. 7.1.0.41 system came into use). I don't see, off-hand, how that could have caused this issue, however, the coincidence is too large to ignore.
