Missing drivers that won't install

This is my second 30gb iPod photo. The first stopped connecting to my computer, so apple replaced it. The new one would not synchronize at first, but I reset it a few times and it connected. It has been working on and off since then. Two weeks ago it simply stopped connecting. It shows up in the "unplug or eject hardware" box as an unknown USB device that does not have drivers installed. iPod updater does not detect it; neither does iTunes. As suggested in many other places in this forum, I downloaded usbstor.inf, only to find that it was already on my computer, and when I tried to have the computer install it, it automatically chose to install usb.inf instead, and then reported that driver installation did not work because the driver did not match the hardware.
I ran a virus scan, a spyware check, and have defragmented the drive- no problems. Service Pack 4 is installed (I am running windows 2000). The fact that this is the second iPod to stop working with this computer definitely suggests that the computer is at fault, but I think I've tried everything. All of the iPod/iTunes software is up to date, as is all the Windows software. I have tried resetting it many times, it is usually close to fully charged. When I plug the iPod into the computer, the charging icon sometimes shows up and sometimes doesn't (the same happens when I plug it into the wall- suggesting that the iPod is malfunctioning...). Please help.

I occasionally encounter this as well. When it happens I go to the Driver Matrix page for my model ThinkPad on Lenovo's support site, then download and install the update manually. That's always "fixed" the problem for me. But yes, it is annoying.

    I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

    The same thing happens to me, Safari asks me to update the Adobe FlasPlayer, I download, start the installation process, ask me my username and password in order to install, then see a window where I choose if I want to always install the updates , or ask first, or not inslate updates, and at this point it is not progress, I can not cancel the process, I turn off and turn on my machine.
    What can I do ..??

  • Help! Premiere only program from Master Collection CS5 that won't install

    Hello,
    I have a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.5.  I have installed the Adobe Master Collection CS5 and everything works fine except Premiere Pro CS5.  It won't show up in my applications and appears to not show up regardless of what I do.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times, used the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, and even downloaded Premiere Pro CS5 on its own and tried installing, all to no avail. It just doesn't show up, and when I did the standalone Premiere Pro it installed Encore and Bridge but not the main program.  Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas as to how/why this might be happening?
    I believe that at one point this computer had Premiere CS4 installed, but it no longer does.  I had to replace the hard drive.
    Thank you for your time!

    >MacBook Pro running OSX 10.5
    Disclaimer... I'm on Win7
    So, your hardware AND operating system are BOTH 64bit?
    If that MacBook is a laptop, does the screen meet the pixel requirement? (from another discussion... 1280x900 display with OpenGL 2.0-compatible graphics card)

  • Applications that won't install/open

    Recently, applications such as Skype, Yahoo Messenger, Limewire and a few others stopped working for me. Also, I noticed when my computer starts up, right before the apple is displayed on the screen, a tiny folder with a question mark inside of it appears. When I downloaded the applications, they seem to download fine, and then once I drag it into my applications folder, they bounce like they are about to open... and then disappear from my dock. How do I fix this?! Thanks!

    Hi jkim,
    Sigh... I was hoping it was going to be a simple fix for you.
    The first thing I'd do is try launching the application from other user's account. It's a good way to tell if what's causing the problem is system-wide, which might help us diagnose if none of the proposed fixes work. Also, have you checked your console to see if error messages are showing up when the apps crash?
    After that, here's what I'd try, in order:
    1. Reinstall the relevant combo updater from Apple's downloads page ([here's|http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html] the one for Panther).
    2. Repair permissions using Disk Utility.
    3. Update prebinding. Go to Applications > Utilities > Terminal, type in *sudo update_prebinding -root / -force* (exactly as it is here!), and press return. Enter your admin password and wait for the process to complete.
    4. Try cleaning out your caches using a tool like Leopard Cache Cleaner (it's backward-compatible to 10.3.9: [linky|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/16494]).
    5. Delete appropriate .plist files. If you've discovered that your problem is just your home folder, stick to ~/Library/Preferences. If it's system-wide, try /Library/Preferences. Look for items within that folder that contain the names of the applications that are crashing.
    6. One thing (a big thing!) that you can do to solve the problem is an Archive and Install, but that's gonna be kind of a pain, so I'd wait on that.
    Hope that helps!

  • HT5204 I have a purchased copy of ilife that won't install because of a certificate expiration issue. I just replaced my hard drive in my mac and I am trying to get my stuff back up and running.

    How can I reinstall my ilife 11 software?

    Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value).  You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
    In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
    Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
    Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
    Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
    The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these).  Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
    In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above.  As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

  • How do I install "automatic" software updates that won't install automatically?

    Hi, I currently have 13 updates downloaded and ready for installation. For some reason, when I restart my computer to install the updates, nothing happens. It asks me to install the same updates over and over. How do I install my updates?

    How did you download them? Where are they stored? What shows up in /Library/Updates/?

  • After the iOS6 update I have apps that are missing & some that won't load or open!  When will this be fixed?

    I try to open some apps and the loading screen comes up but the it cuts off and will not open no matter what I do.  I have reinstalled the app and rebooting the iPod?!! Don't want 2 reset the iPod to original settings will lose all saved material with games and videos!!?

    Hi. Thanks! I guess I didn't state the problem clearly. The downloads are stalled--18 of them. The last time I tried to update (after a sync with my iMac), they stalled and never finished. Now I can't use any of those apps. I have a feeling it's one bad app stalling everything, so I'm going to try syncing with just bare bones apps. The iPad is strictly used by my kids, so I'm not that adept with it.

  • Bootcamp drivers won't install

    After installing Windows XP Home SP2, I insert the Leopard DVD to install the Boot Camp drivers. The installation begins and gets to the Broadcom network drivers, then I get a windows bluescreen for a second and the computer restarts. There are no wireless drivers or anything else installed. I tried downloading the BC2.1 drivers (.exe, but that will not run at all. I have re-installed Windows, but this does not fix the problem. The BC drivers simply won't install and crashes windows.

    Hello...well, this might have worked for you guys, but not me.
    The Bootcamp manual simply says that upon restarting, "just follow the Found New Hardware Wizard" and it's all set.
    Well, the Hardware Wizard never appeared. Tried everything over again and still nothing.
    I know you say to use the OS disc that came with my machine (a Macbook Pro), but I have been. Otherwise, I of course wouldn't have been able to install Bootcamp.
    So, I've gone through the Bootcamp installation (after the windows installation) twice now, and everything seemed to go fine (meaning the wireless network is operational, and all other utilities that should be linking up with the OS X side of the computer), but on that previously mentioned restart (Step 3, Point #4, on Page 12 of the Bootcamp instructions PDF), the Hardware Wizard STILL doesn't come up....and yes, the disc is in the drive.
    Anyone else have this problem? Is there any other way to make these drivers work? I, too, cannot stand the big fat blurry text/windows on the screen!
    Thanks!

  • Missing drivers and can't figure out what to install

    I have two missing drivers on a fresh install of windows 7 64 bit and can't seem to work out what they are. It's a HP notebook 2000 365DX They show up under 'Other Devices' one is BCM207020A and when I open it the info says Location Port_#0002.Hub_#0003 the second is PCI Device and when opened it is PCI bus 2, device 0, function 0 Anyone got an idea?

  • My dazzle drivers won't install

    I have a Dazzle DVC 100 and it plugs in and the laptop (HP Pavillion TouchSmart, Windows 8) scans it fine. However when i try and update the drivers it won't install even though i have the right drivers downloaded! When i try to install the drivers by
    their wizards it comes up with an error screen that says that the install was interupted. Please help!

    Hi,
    What is the detailed error message? And anything valuable recorded in the event?
    You can first try:
    Temporarily turn off security software.
    Re-download the driver, install again.
    If fail again, Install the driver in safe mode:
    Start your computer in safe mode

  • Fresh install of windows missing drivers

    ^ That is my product with its drivers ^
    I managed to install a few:
    IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver
    Intel HD Graphics Driver
    Synaptics Touchpad Driver
    Validity Fingerprint Sensor Driver
    Broadcom Wireless LAN
    Realtek Local Area Network LAN
    But when I go to Device Manager I still get missing drivers:
    I'm not sure what those are... I tried the Scan Now from the HP site to let HP scan my system for out-date and missing drivers, but after I installed the extension to Chrome, nothing happens when I hit Scan.. it's like the button has no action.
    So does anybody know which drivers it is I need to DL?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Please provide the HardwareID's for each of those devices. This will aid us in assisting you with the missing drivers.
    Just taking a guess, I would say... Intel Chipset Installation Utility and Driver, Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Driver, Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver, Realtek Card Reader Driver, and one of the 3 USB 3.0 Host Controller Drivers (Fresco Logic, Renesas Electronics, or NEC Electronics).

  • I can't go on OSX anymore, and I'm missing drivers.

    I was installing Windows 7 Ultimate through Bootcamp. It went well, I had to reformat the Bootcamp partition since it said it wasn't NTFS, it was all okay.
    Then, I noticed I was missing drivers, that I left on OSX.
    Sad part is, I can't get on OSX, it won't let me. Only Windows.
    Basically, I'm screwed with Windows Basic themes. Again.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    To start into Mac OS X, press X key while your Mac is starting, or press Option key and choose Macintosh HD. If you want to start always into OS X, open System Preferences > Startup Disk and select Macintosh HD.
    On Mountain Lion, you have to download the Boot Camp drivers:
    1. Open Boot Camp Assistant and mark the option to download the Windows support software.
    2. It will ask you to burn them into a DVD or USB drive, so do that.
    3. When the Boot Camp drivers are on the DVD or USB, press Option key while your Mac is starting and select Windows to start into Windows.
    4. Install the Boot Camp drivers. Everything should work fine after that
