Lost CD drive after loading IPOD

First time user on any discussion board. After loading IPOD and itunes, access to CD Drive disappeared. Got the following message. "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)".
I removed the IPOD and itune program hoping the acces would return. Believe I can get help from a local technician to restore access to drive, BUT AM WORRIED THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN I TRY TO LOAD THE PROGRAM.
Any help will be appreciated.

hi Barbara!
"This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)".
for that one, see:
Cannot Access CD-ROM and "Code 31" Error Message in Device Manager After You Remove Adaptec Easy CD Creator from Your Computer
(note that despite the title there is at least one other cause of the code 31 listed on the document.)

Lost ethernet driver after Hi-Perf Defaults

Lost my Ethernet Driver in Device Manager after the following:
Tried the "Load High Performance defaults" in bios ver.1.3. Display freaked out with spots and lines. System slowed then froze. After reboot able to reset "normal defualts", and all OK except noticing the lack of said driver. Do you think one caused the other? Will I have to reload the whole mobo driver set? And why is the driver version on the mobo CD later than the ones available at the MSI and Intel websites,if I'm not mistaken? And one more thing - how can I get my setup listed out all nice at the bottom of this screen? Thanks.

In the BIOS make sure
>Integrated peripherals
ON-Board LAN = Enabled
Your previous drivers should still be there hopefully ...just your system doesnt see the LAN chip
For your system info use the "Profile" option at the top of the screen and then "Edit Signature"

Win7 install looking for CD ROM driver (after loading from CD) cannot find it so fails to install.

Product: HP-IQ-775
OS? Gone!- Was WIndows Vista HP-SP2, but System Recovery wiped it out!
Error Msg: Current message that is stopping the installation of Windows 7 is "Missing CD/DVD ROM Driver- Please insert disk, or browse to location of driver" Browse accnot find driver needed (whatever it is... it is running form the bootable CD drive, so obviously it found something!)
Changes? Oh yeah, you bet!! I have had so many problems with this machine, I cannot list them all. After running the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, which reported only 2 issues, both software and both resolved, all OS upgrades installed, all drivers updated, ran the MS Malicious Software app, then attempoted an upgrade from Windows Vista- Home Premium, Service Pack 2. Long story short, after 3 days of 'installing Windows 7' on the screen, it failed. No explanation just "update failed, system will rollback to Vista". The rollback was uneventful, but sytem began having problems. Missing drivers, USB ports failed, CPU Fan Failure shut downs, blue screen after blue screen. I sent my system logs to an MCSE 'expert' and he reported " there are so many issues in the logs, that it would be a miracle if the machine ever ran again" He suggested Formatting the drive and instaling Win 7 clean. WIth far too much going on with projects, I could not do this. Ultimately, Updates would not work, A/V software would not update, Vdeo software would not run. I contacted Microsoft, and after a week or so of email volleys, they escalated it to thieir 'expert', who after a few hours troubleshooting remotely, and multiple failed System Restores, said the only hope was a System Recovery.
After backing up everything today, I did the System Recovery from the Factory Image, the result was fatal! It went through the first half, erasing my operating sytem and associated files, drivers etc, it reported "Error found in Sytem Configuration, System Recvovery not completed", leaving me with an X drive, a C: drive tith nothing on it, and between the two, sho about 30GB of space total, on a 500GB drive!
I figured this would be the best time to do a 'clean install' of Windows 7, as I no longer had an OS to upgrade! I ran my Win7 Install disk, which ran fine, loaded its files, then reported "missing CD/DVD driver. PLease insert floppy, CD or flash drive, or browse to external drive with driver location"
Needless to say, I could find noting that it would accept. I even downloaded a driver from TSST (CD OEM) but the installer would not accept it from the flash drive. That is where I am now. No OS loaded, partitions screwed up, command prompt finds noting but X: (Recovery files?)29GB, and C: what is left of it, it shows 9GB. Where is the rest of my disk? Who knows.
I have 5 external drives, full system backup on one, all data files on another, System Recovery Backup on another, but cannot access anything with no OS. I can only use the Win7 install boot disk to access the computer at all, and it has limited functionality.
I am writing from my HP-dv-9720 notebook, which has its own OS issues (still running on Vista basic as it will not install SPs), so it is available for email and driver downloads if necessary.
Anyone want this challenge?
Thanks
Doug

WOW! 9 months later and not a sigle response. And now I am back! (Windows7 worked fine BTW!) Now I have the FAN FAILURE, yet the only thing that works on the computer, IS the FAN!! HP is ware of this problem but has done nothing except post a bunch of unrelatre (to IQ-775) stuff! A replacement fan (not that it is needed) is over $300, almost half of what I paid for the entire system!! BS! This is a latent defect and should be fixed by HP!
I currently have 3 HP computers, 5HP printers and an HP plotter! I have been a loyal HP customer fore over 20 years! IF they do not fix this, FREE, I will NEVER buy another HP product again! That is a promise! This is pure BS! The machine will not boot due to a false "fan failure' report. both fans are running fine, and always have. The defect is in the reporting software or fan firmware, NOT the fan!
I will be back in 9 months to answer myself again!

Lost interface sounds after connecting iPod

I recently connected a brand-new iPod Shuffle to my G5. I was copying music to the iPod in iTunes when my whole system hung up, spinning beachballs in every app. I had to do a hard reboot to bail out. Now I'm back, the iPod seems fine, but my interface sounds are gone. Startup chime okay, music & movie audio works fine, but no interface sounds. Only the Volume Up and Volume Down sounds. I can't even get the alert sounds to play when I click them in the Sound preferences. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Intel graphics multimedia accelerator has no driver after loading windows7

hp pavilion desktop a814x pc drivers for windows 7

Hi:
The onboard Intel graphics adapter in your PC is not completely capable of running W7.
There are no W7 drivers for it because it cannot run the Windows Aero feature.
I found a way a while ago to get a notebook graphics adapter to work on many desktop models with the Intel 910/915 chipset and the GMA900 graphics adapter.
If it works, you will be able to have all graphics capabilities except Windows Aero.
This will only work for Windows 7, 32 bit.
Here is what you need to do...
Download and run this Vista driver. You will get an unsupported operating system error. Close out of any error windows.
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?sp4ts.oid=447348&spf...
Go to the device manager and click to expand the Display Adapters category. Click on the Standard VGA Adapter.
Click on the driver tab. Click on Update Driver. Select the Browse my computer for driver software method, and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file.
That folder will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp34749. Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked, and the driver should install.
After you reboot, your PC should have decent graphics.

Lost Ethernet Driver after semi-crash

MS-6278, P4 2.4
XP, sp1.
Well, I ignorantly turned on "High Performance Defaults" in the Bios ver. 1.3. System got freaky, barely able to get back into Setup to change to Normal Settings, but did do so. Then noticed Ethernet Driver in Control Panel was flagged: driver missing. A while later error message said trouble with Modem interface controller. Questions:
1.Do you think the crash caused these things?
2.Do I have to reload the whole Intel driver-set?
3.How can I list my computer system at the bottom of this page so I don't have to keep typing it in every time I post?
Thanks so much,
Jimminy

I may have had a similiar event I had loaded up the high performance defaults to see if it improved the game performance of Metal Gear Solid 2.I had no problems except trying to escape from the game ,but I mostly blame this on the fact that the PC release of this game is just a crappy emulator version of xbox.Still nonetheless it kindve partially locked up and I had to hit ctrl-alt-del to shut down the game properly.I restarted and reset the bios to the regular bios defaults (slow,private etc.) then put the comp into standby.When I came back my home network was down so I started messing around with the various connections and firewall which didnt help.I then decided to start top to bottom, so I started with the bios and low and behold for some reason under peripherals the onboard lan of my 865 Neo 2 LS had been disabled so I enabled it and this solved the problem.I know this problem isnt the same but it sounds to similiar so I offer up my own experience so good luck :D

Lost sound driver after installing airparrot

I have a 2009 Macbook pro running mountain lion. I downloaded this program called Airparrot to stream my screen to my apple TV. While streaming it asked to download Airparrots sound drivers so I did. No im able to get sound on my TV while streaming and sound if I plug in headphones to the headphone jack but No sound trough my internal macbook speakers. If I go into system preferences there is no option for internal speakers.
I think when I installed Airparrots audio it deleted the internal speaker driver.
I tried restoring the system and still nothing
How do I get my internal speaker option back ??

GTX670 - Signal lost/black screen after windows loading icon

Hello,
I hope I am posting this in the correct forum area. If not I do apologize.
Here are my specs:
Board: MSI Z97-G45 Gaming
Bios: ?? whatever pre-installed on mobo
VGA: MSI GTX670 OC
PSU: Corsair HX750 750W
Intel Core i7-4790K
MEM: 12 GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600 2x 4GB, 2x 2GB sticks
HDD: SSD Kingston 120 GB (Win7), HDD 1 TB WD 7200 RPM (Win7), HDD 1.5 TB WD 7200 RPM (storage)
COOLER: Corsair Hydro Series H60 Water Cooler
OC: no overclocking done by me..default settings
OS: Windows 7 64bit Professional
So to keep this as direct and as short as humanly possible here is my situation.
Had a gtx670 card that I had to send back to MSI under RMA. They sent me what looks like a new gtx670 card (no dust) that I received yesterday (4 Aug). Last night I removed temporary old card (9800gt) and plugged in new 670gtx. Things seemed to be ok, reinstalled driver after card was recognized. Played one round of Battlefield 4 for testing purposes and all seemed good.
Upon exiting the game things went south in a hurry. Moving the mouse cursor around was extremely slow and choppy. Mouse clicks were not recognized. I could not bring up ctrl-alt-del to get to task manager. At this point the cursor turned to spinning circle as if things were happening. However, after 5+ minutes of nothing changing I did a hard boot.
Restarted and after the windows loading screen the signal appeared to be lost to the monitor and I was left with black screen. This was with the SSD. I then attempted to load into the HDD windows OS that I hadn't logged into yet with this card and was greeted with the same issue.
I can load into Safe Mode with no issues. In safe mode I removed all nvidia drivers and was then able to load into windows normally using basic windows vga drivers. The moment I load the Nvidia drivers and restart the computer I then have the issue again. This happens with both drives.
I have reset the video card in the PCI-Ex16 slot and still received the problem. I have tried a different PCI-Ex16 slot and still had the issue. I put the old 9800gt card back in and windows loaded perfectly and without issues on both drives. I put the 670gt in and try to load into normal windows and I lose signal and get black screen after the windows loading screen.
I'm at a loss at the moment. I think it's the drivers, but could it be the card?
Doing some research I've come across some people saying there may be issues with the nvidia HD audio drivers that are installed with the video drivers. Could it be as simple as uninstalling or unchecking that particular driver?

Flashed the BIOS last night to the latest version and attempted to launch windows with the GTX670 card. I still experienced the same issue where as soon as windows finishes it's loading animation (with Nvidia drivers) and it goes to the login screen, the monitors cut out.
At this point I feel like it has to be the card. The moment I install the video drivers and restart, I have the problem of losing the signal/black screen.
What I have done:
1) Completely wiped any/all video related drivers from the computer and started from scratch. No success.
2) Ran Memtestx86 to see if it's a problem with my memory sticks. No problems found.
3) Put the card in a different PCI-Ex16 slot to see if there was a problem with the slot. No success.
4) Flash updated the BIOS on the motherboard to the latest version. No success.
I have a dual boot computer with Windows 7 64-bit installed on an SSD and a HDD. The problem happens on both drives. Yet, the moment I install my old 9800GT the problem disappears and I can login to Windows just fine.
I will be sending the card back today on another RMA.

I lost my game the tribez after loading iOS6. it said it is unable to complete puchase. the game is free. what happened?

i lost my game the tribez after loading iOS6. i am getting a message saying it cannot complete the purchase. the game is free. i deleted it and tried it several times with the same message. what am i doing wrong?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup

HT1386 I just reinstalled my windows operating system and decided to put on windows 8. After loading all of my music back into a freshly installed itunes, my 4th gen ipod is not recognized by itunes. My 1st gen ipod nano works with no problem. Help!

reinstalled my windows operating system and decided to put on windows 8. After loading all of my music back into a freshly installed itunes, my 4th gen ipod is not recognized by itunes. My 1st gen ipod nano works with no problem. I can eliminate any problems with the cable and connection.
I've stopped and started the service, and also have performed cold reboots.
Nothing seems to have helped the situation.
Help!

See:

I would start with

Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?
The iPod Classic uses different drivers than the Nano

I just had a new hard drive installed. After loading everything back on my computer from external drive, i came to the "select wireless network screen. I've misplaced the WEP password for my internet. Is there anyway to find it on another computer?

i just had a new hard drive installed. After loading everything back on my computer from external drive, i came to the "select wireless network screen. I've misplaced the WEP password for my internet. Is there anyway to find it on another computer?

Maybe. What kind of other computer are you talking about? What operating system is it running? What kind of wireless router are you using?
Your best bet may be to just reset the router and set it up again.
Just so you know, WEP is a very old security system for wireless and is considered insecure. If you have it available, use WPA2.

Why will photoshop not open after loading it to new iMac computer from an external hard drive and I get this message: Licensing for this product has stopped working:error code: 150:30

Why will Photoshop CS4 not open after loading to new iMac from an external hard drive and I get this message: Licensing for this product has stopped working:error code: 150:30

A Photoshop installation is tied to the machine it was installed on. Moving it to or from a hard drive breaks the licensing.
The answer is easy: Reinstall CS4 from your disc. and apply all updates.
