My HP laptop with windows 8 won't recognize any library with home sharing; although the other computers do.
I've tried activating and deactivating home sharing multiple times, any other reason why this is happening?
Thanks
A couple of other things you might like to try :-
- Determine whether you are able to access the internet from anywhere else on your new PC (e.g. do Windows updates download ? Can you access the Windows 8 store ? ) If the answer is no, then your problem doesn't lie with IE but with the actual wireless connection. If the answer is yes, then continue as below.
- Run IE from the desktop instead of the Start screen - probably won't make any difference, but worth a try.
- Download a decent browser like Firefox or Chrome and try that - this will show whether the problem lies just with IE or not
- As a general rule, don't do anything that PC World tell you to do, lol !
As gg30340 says, this does sound very much like it MAY be a problem with firewall settings - if you're running Norton Antivirus then I believe that will be providing the firewall service, rather than the inbuilt Windows firewall.
One thing you don't need to worry about - Windows 8 is a perfectly good OS and works just as well as Windows 7 did. I'm using it now !

I just got an HP Envy dv4t and it runs windows 8. My desktop, which is a Dell windows vista has all of my music on it. I'm trying to use home sharing between the two, but my HP won't pick up my dell's library, but my dell will pick up my HP's. I've tried everything imaginable and still no luck. At first, my HP would pick up my Dell library but it wouldn't load. Now it doesn't even have the library under Home Sharing. Please help!
I have been having exactly the same problem with my Fujitsu vista running desktop and my new Toshiba running windows 8

Windows won't recognize any of my hardware.
Whenever I try to open a game or anything requiring 3D graphics, it won't work. Also, the sound won't work either. I've gone under control panel and neither the sound card (or whatever the laptop equivalent is) and the graphics card are both just not being detected. I've tried installing NVidia drivers, but they won't install, and I've installed directx 11 and it still won't detect my graphics card. I've tried all the troubleshooting programs, and they can't find anything wrong, but of course they can't find the hardware itself.
you could just use your 10.6 disk to install all the drivers on the windows half of the partition like it tells you to in the directions facepalm

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check for interference from new networks or electrical equipment, have you installed any new software on your PC, particularly security related or file sharing software. -
IMac with Mavericks won't recognize new 60D
iMac with Mavericks won't recognize new 60D
No drivers are required on the Mac to use the camera. The Mac will natively recongize the camera.
You can install Canon's supplemental software or you can use the Apple provided software or 3rd party software.
However... when you connect a camera to a Mac and it recognizes the camera, you *can* configure what you want the computer to launch. By default, a Mac will usually launch iPhoto.
If you open iPhoto (do this EVEN if you don't want to use iPhoto) then go into iPhoto -> Preferences and look at the "General" category. You'll see an option that reads: "Connecting camera opens:" with a selection menu next to it. You can use that menu to pick what you want your Mac to do, then close and quite iPhoto.
When connecting the camera to the computer, do the following:
Turn the camera off
Use the supplied USB cord to attach the camera to the computer (some caveats here... I'll mention them below).
Power the camera on after it's attached.
About those caveats on step 2.
The reason I say "use the supplied USB cord" instead of use any USB cord is because if you're like me... you've got LOTS of USB cords laying around. Some of these come with devices that use USB for charging purposes. And some of those USB cables ONLY bother to wire the power supply pins and not the data transfer pins. In other words... it looks like a normal cable, but wont actually allow for data transfer. You will need to take care to make sure you're using a proper cable.
Next I should caveat the use of USB hubs. Whenever you're having a problem with a computer not recognizing a USB device, it's a good idea to disconnect extraneous USB devices that have nothing to do with your issue AND if there's a USB "hub" involved... bypass the hub and connect the camera directly to a USB port on the computer itself.
I use a USB hub and this particular hub is reliable... but truthfully I had to buy three different hubs before I found one that worked reliably. I've discovered there are a lot of flakey hubs on the market. When in doubt... bypass the hub. If you find that you can get your computer to recognize your camera on a consistent basis if you bypass the hub then you can direct your attention to finding a reliable hub.
That's the end of the caveats.
I wrote a response to a user with a similar issue in which I detail the steps to use the Mac's System Information utility to determine if the camera is showing up as connected to the camera. You can find that post here:

Windows won't recognize 2nd ipod
I have a 5th generation ipod which works perfect with windows and itunes. I purchased a Nano . I charged it up first then pluged it in the usb 2.0 port that I use with my other unit. Windows won't recognize it. I can not find it in My Computer. In the device manager it shows up under other devices with a yellow question mark.
It claims it needs a driver and of course when I try the cd no I get one of those can't install hardware. I am using the latest versions of both software products.
I did the 5 Rs and went through this site and the help documents and nothing works. I took it back to the Apple store and they said it was working perfect.
So... I went home tried again, even disable my antivirus/firewall and no dice. I then tried it on my lap top and it installed and works fine. Where I am right now is copying what I wanted on one computer to CD and then importing the files ( sans song names) .
I am baffled on this one. One unit works fine then the nano won't be recognized on the other. Suggestions?
By a Creative?JAToubes: Windows can only handle one iPod connected at a time )http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61713) so make sure that your other iPod is disconnected first......you might need a re-boot before re-connecting given the yellow triangle warning.
It might also be worth having a look at these other links...

Laptop won't recognize any ipods
OK, so I have an ipod video, a click-wheel ipod and a new shuffle, and my gateway laptop won't recognize any of them. It recognized them all until earlier this week, and the USB ports still work with my flash drive and mouse. I plugged the ipods into another computer using the same chord and they work fine. I got the ipod video replaced at an apple store, and still nothing. I plug the ipod (any of them) in and in the device manager it shows up as an unknown device. I tried reinstalling the driver, but I get nothing. I've restarted the computer of course, and have restarted the ipods (except the shuffle). I've gone through the troubleshooting on the apple support page, and am at my wits end. any suggestions?
I went through the troubleshooting page and went BACK to a genius bar and got the ipod video replaced again (they said it had a bad hard drive). I still have the same problem though. I think my computer's hard drive is going bad, but I'm not sure. The ipod is reading, but I can't copy any music over to it now ("the disc can't be copied to or read from"). Also, when I connect it to my older PC, I fill it up with music, disconnect the iPod and see that it's blank! I look in the "about" section of the ipod's settings and it shows that memory is being taken by music, and when I plug it into iTunes it shows the music being there.

I have an airport extreme. i am trying to connect a laptop with windows 7 to a wireless printer, with no luck. any ideas?
The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

Cisco vpn client..
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan. -
Windows won't recognize Nano connecting.
My genius friend decided to plug my iPod into his xbox 360, and now windows won't recognize my iPod Nano, and it won't turn on, and I don't know what to do.
Try reading my post "Is your IPOD very slow to connect and eject and it appears to lock-up?". I think it is on page 2 of this discussion forum now.
This worked for me and I've had emails from other people saying that this fixed their problem.
Good luck,

Why does Itunes installed on a Toshiba Satelite with windows 8 not recognize my Iphone or Ipad?
It's possible that charger damaged some part of the connection on the iPad. There's little metal contacts on that small silicon chip sticking out of the port and if something happens to one of those little contacts it can effect how it works.
You can try taking it into an apple store and have them look at it. If you'd only used 'official' stuff there'd probably be no question but once they know that the damage, potential damage, was caused by a third party device, then it may be up to the discretion of the manager what they do with it. Whether they replace it under warranty or decide that the warranty is void (I honestly don't know how strict they can be with the use of third party devices and how they may/may not work) -
HT1926 PC with windows 8 wont recognize either of my 2 ipods. itunes software is current.
PC with windows 8 wont recognize either of my 2 ipods. itunes software is current.
Take a look at this MBP, a refurbished unit. Don't let the late 2011 release date put you off. For about $500 less than an equivalent 'new' one with similar specifications you get a quad core CPU and excellent graphics. As Steve359 mentioned, this can be upgraded if the need arises and has the same warranty as a 'new' one
I would not be surprised that these may actually be 'new' MBPs due to the length of time that they have been replaced by the current generation. I purchased a 17" model about 5 weeks ago, and a serial number check suggests that it is 9 weeks old.

Hi, since i put some mp4 video or DVD files on my external hard drives final cut prox won't recognize my hard drives, i move all the video files and the problem still exist. somebody have the solution
Did the back and forth between PC and Mac file systems screw up my files somehow?
Yes. Unfortunately the move has almost certainly caused the loss of the resource data that would have been (invisibly) attached to those files.
By adding a specific .mov extension after the fact you will have helped the Mac correctly identify the file type / asscoiations but also significantly you will have physically changed the filename eg from "clip" to "clip.mov". This means that when you come to reconnect the media in FCP , then FCP will be looking for files that no longer exist at the given path eg when specifically looking for our example clip called "clip" of course it won't find it.
Try this as a test... first remove the ".mov" extension from one or more of the clips, select those clips and press Cmd-Opt-I to open an Info window for the selection. You'll see an "Open with:" popup and in that popup you should choose QuickTime Player (if its a Unix Executable then it will initially list Terminal as the appropriate app, you have to choose Other... then in the open dialog choose Enable > All Applications and then navigate to and select the Quicktime Player app as the appropriate app). After you've done that restart FCP and see if you can now reconnect to those clips. -

ITunes 7.5 won't recognize any ipods
Since iTunes updated to 7.5, it will not recognize any of my iPods. Not the classic, not the nano. Connecting with USB, and I don't have a firewire cable to try.
Error message is +"An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again.+
I am posting here because I believe it to be an iTunes problem, not iPod. I see some have had this error in the iPod forums as well. I connected the classic to a windows machine, restored to factory settings, and then tried again, with no luck.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.
I looked for drivers and I get the same error whether ipoddriver.kext is deleted or not. Same with the itunesiphonedriver.kext.
Help? I'm pretty sure this has something to do with the itunes update, but do not know how to go back to an earlier version.I would delete the preference file. That should work. To do that, quit iTunes and go to User Name>Library>Preferences. Locate the com.apple.itunes. Delete this file. And empty the trash. Open iTunes. iTunes will act like that this is the first time you open iTunes and ask you a bunch of questions. Don't worry as your music, playlist, play count are all intact.
