New Nano Won't Install - Its Searching for Drivers

Hey, I'm on a Dell Latitude running XP, I've got every Windows update and am running iTunes 7.2. My shuffle worked (and works) fine, but I upgraded to a nano and Windows refuses to recognize it - it tells me it can't find the drivers. (I get the found new hardware wizard when I connect to my USB 2.0 drive, and it shows up, with a question mark, in device manager.)
Its charging from the USB (actually, its fully charged at the moment) but iTunes doesn't recognize the nano at all. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, and that didn't work. Any suggestions?

After a little more intense searching, this thread from a few weeks ago had how to fix it. I have no idea how it worked, but it appears to have (my iPod is now recognized by iTunes and syncing as we speak.

    I installed 10.5.8 to my IMac 5 and now it won't recognize any drivers for the printer which is an HP PSC 1610.  I downloaded the software and driver from HP and it still says it is searching for drivers to install the printer.

    First, I've read the manual. This new Nano won't sync and won't charge. Itunes does recognize the device. When it's connected to a Windows PC, the battery indictor shows charged. When it's not connected, the indicator shows no charge. I've tried this on two PCS without success.

    Maybe the Nano you got is defective. Have it replaced.

  • When I try to enter my Printer model to search for drivers on HP support site the input panel disappears . It was OK in previous Firefox versions but not in 18.

    I tried to search for driver for one printer at HP web site. When you go on support page you are presented with 3 options. If you click on the first to search for drivers a panel is displayed that has input box to enter your printer model. When I click on that input box the panel disappears.

  • HT4628 After installing the new OS from apple (10.8.2) my macbook pro keeps disconnecting from the internet.  I am connecting with an Airport Extreme and while it shows I am connected, every 20-45 seconds its searching for a wireless connection.  Any sugg

    I guess I posted my question as a title but that is my issue.  My airport is connected via wireless yet it keeps searching for a wireless connection, hence I am experiencing bad latency and disconnection issues.  Anyone know a solution?

    I have the same problem. And in my case it happens when i transfer "large" files over the WiFi. When i send an MP3 filer over Skype i loose connection. When i transfer updates between my iPhone 5 / iPad 3 and iMac with Mountain Lion i loose connection. When i have a video conference i loose connection. You get the idea.
    There is usually like 30 people using their own router on the 2.4 GHz band near by. None on the 5 GHz band which i use. But when my WiFi freezes on ML i can only see my own router. And i am also connected to it. But all my neighbors WiFi routers are now invisble to me. My network stalled.
    What i do is that i disconnect my WiFi and then reconnect it again. Thank fixes it. But all my transfers and what not has been dropped. And i have to start all over - and the WiFi will stall again.
    While my WiFi is frozen on the iMac with ML i have no problem using the same router on the same 5 GHz band with my iPhone 5 or iPad 3.
    Downgrading the AirPort Extreme to 7.6.1 from 7.6.3 helped a bit. Now i only loose connection a few times each day.
    It is a software error in ML i am sure of. A driver maybe. But i am suspecting that it is either a speed-sync error or an energy saving error. Like the network card turns of in the middle of a file transfer to save enrgy - maybe.
    When i stream movies from my iMac to my Apple TV or  3 there is no problem at all. It is so odd.

  • Windows 7 recognizes my HP Printer but won't install the driver for it

    I just bought a brand new computer with Windows 7 64bit installed on it.
     After hooking it up, I connected my HP psc 2175 All In One Printer to it.
    Windows 7 recognized that I had an HP psc 2100 series printer and said that it would go online to look for the driver to install.
    After 10 minutes of searching, it tells me that I need "troubleshooting" which means "go look for it yourself."
    I went to the HP website and the only help I found was a page telling me how to get my Windows 7 to recognize my printer.
    My Windows 7 already recognizes it.
    What I need is an explanation about to make Windows 7 download the proper Printer Driver to allow my printer to work.
    Any help?
    Does this driver not exist for Windows 7 and HP PSC 2175 All In One Printer?

    So the HP page says there is no driver at all for my Printer with Windows 7 ( Lucky Me) and that I need to configure my Windows 7 to use the automatic  Windows Update to find a driver to install.
    As I mentioned in my original post, it already did this.
    It recognized my printer and then starting searching for a driver with no luck.
    Anyway, next on the HP page it tells me to connect my printer to my computer with a USB cable and then Windows 7 will look for the most appropriate driver to make my printer work.
    So I connect the USB cable and it dings once and that's it.
    No message.
    No downloading.
    No status bar.
    Nothing.
    It just dinged to recognize that I plugged in the USB cable.
    According to the HP page, I should get a window telling me that My Automatic Windows Update is complete.
    Mine apparently didn't even start.
    So now what should I do? 
    How can I make it download the generic printer driver without just expecting it to do so simply because a USB cable was inserted?

  • New Nano won't charge - please help!

    Hey guys! Hoping you can help me.
    Bought a new Nano 4g 2nd generation. I plugged it into my laptop, installed it and put music onto it. When I disconnect it, there is no battery life, even though it was plugged in for hours. I also have an AC adapter, and have plugged it into that, and when I disconnect it, the menu on the screen just disappears and I can't turn it on again.
    This is the 2nd time I've bought a brand new iPod that has been faulty out of the box. I've tried the 5 R's and nothing seems to work. I know I may have to send it away to get a new one (shudder) but I just wanted to know if anyone else has had this problem, and if so, what eventuated?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Same Problem with one I gave my daughter for Christmas. Purchased online direclty from Apple. What's the fix? DON'T IGNORE THIS ONE GUYS!

  • New Nano, won't accept purchased songs.

  • Why won't Adobe X search for hyphens?

    I'm using Adobe X with Windows 7 to proof fiction for a publishing firm.  I would like to be able to search for words at the end of the lines where there is a word break but Adobe X will not let me search for those.
    For example, I found in the text I'm reading the word animals and it is at the end of the line and is broken out like this:
    ani-
    mals.
    I would like to search for ani- and see if there are more occurances like this so I can make sure I catch all broken out words to see if they are done correctly, but if I search for that hypen, it won't bring up this example in the results (or any other words at the end of lines that are broken).  If I copy and paste ani- into the search box it won't paste the hypen at the end.
    Now, If I manually type in the hypen it won't search for the right kind of hyphen.  It always leaves out in the results the ones I need to look at the most, which are broken words with hypens at the end of the lines.
    Is this some sort of "special character" that I'm searching for?  If so, how do I search for it?  Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

    Hi. As a workaround you can enable "Always use native photo browsers"  in the PS Touch settings. It's listed under "Preferences" -> "Access Local Photos setting". See attached screenshot

  • New nano won't play songs in linear order

    The shake to shuffle is turned off in settings and I am not inadvertently selecting shuffle to play. Is there some other setting I've overlooked to turn shuffle off?
    Where it is showing up most maddeningly is while playing a three-hour radio program I download. Each hour is a "song" and iTunes sorts them by date/hours 1, 2 &3. I want to listen in order by date and hour. Nano wants me to listen to hour 1 from 5/23/13, random song, hour 3 from 6/10/13, hour 2 from 4/20/13...you get the idea. It happens whether I'm allowing to go to the next song on it's own or if I'm hitting the FF button. I'd be really nuts if I was trying to listen to an audiobook and it was skipping around like this. What am I doing wrong?
    New nano is 7th gen 1.0.2.
    Thanks.

    Delete this post. Figured it out from "more like this" sidebar Q&A. None of those relevent posts showed up when I originally searched or I'd not have posted new. Answer was on pg 21 of the manual, btw.
