No USB driver after install of iOS 8

After downloading and installing iOS 8 on my Windows 7 64, my USB and device are no longer recognized (by the same computer I have been using for 2 years with my Apple products). I tried to download the latest version of iTunes, as well as going into services and stopping/and starting Apple devices, to no avail. I have a 4S, was really looking forward to the 6. Now Im not too sure if I want one. Apple doesnt seem to be on their game anymore (I realize there are always glitches with new roll outs), but iOS 8 on my 4S has been a nightmare since I DL'd it......(slow, clunky, I have the 32G). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • After installing to iOS 5 on my Mac Book, is there anyway to retrieve MS Office documents or Appleworks documents?

    After installing to iOS 5 on my Mac Book, is there anyway to retrieve MS Office documents or Appleworks documents?

    I understand that much.  On my MAC Mini, if you look above at original post, I CAN see both OS while in the Windows 7 partition or the MAC OS.  This is NOT the case on my iMac.  Again, when in the MAC OS I can see the windows partion and move information between the two that way.  When in the WINDOWS partition, the only one that shows is the Windows OS from my computer or network.  The only way you can tell its even a MAC is the bootcamp icon in the bottom right corner of toolbar.  Both have same version of MAC OS so both should work same way..  When i double click on my computer, it should show both the Windows drive AND the MAC (as does my mini and another iMac 21.5 that i have).  This iMac does not do that - only shows windows.

  • FCP X does not recognize projects and events on USB drive after a time machine restore of the MBP macintosh disk

    FCP X does not recognize projects and events on USB drive after a time machine restore of the MBP macintosh disk.
    I upgraded from an i5 to an i7 15" MBP and restored my files using my time machine backup. All seemed to go ok, except I had to use the migration assistant because on the initial boot the MAC didn't recognize the backup database on the USB device. MAybe this is a hint.
    Since when I start FCPX it too cannot finnd the project or event directories.
    Before my upgrade, I had a choice of files either on the Macintosh disk or the 2TB USB disk.
    Now only files on the Macintosh are accessible to FCPX. The USB drive is visible under events and project but it finds no projects or events.
    Please help if you can.
    Thanks

    Thanks... alas no one has responded.
    I think I have the structure that you are recommending.
    I have a root level directory (Final Cut Events) with the files in them.
    The puzzling thing is that it used to work before the migration!.
    Anyway I'm going to move the contents to the root and see what happens.
    On a slightly different note...
    I also posted a question about CPU utilization. Can I ask a question or two?
    While rendering a short clip, I noticed burst of disk activity when the render started (likely loading the media files into ram since I have about 4Gigs available, then almost no activity while the render is happening, then more disk activity when its done.
    However the cpu activity is not as high as I would have expected since rendering requires a lot of cpu.
    What is your experience? I know some render is done by the GPU, but in my older i5 the CPU was about 100%, now in my i7 its about 50%.
    Please look at the attached utilization for CPU and disk activity.
    Thanks for any thoughts... Barry

    OS X installers have always been fairly specific, hardware-wise. I haven't read anything reflecting that situation with the Recovery HD, so it may be that the Recovery HD created for the MacBook Pro does not have the necessary drivers for the Mac Pro. Obviously, nothing definitive here, but a possibility.

  • How come my mac isnt showing my external hard drive after installing os x maverick? and how to i fix that??

    how come my mac isnt showing my external hard drive after installing os x maverick? and how to i fix that??

    How do you mean it isn't showing the external drive?  If you mean on the desktop, click Finder on the menu bar, Preferences, General and check the boxes for Show these items on the desktop - make sure hard drives is checked.
    If you mean it is not showing in Finder or Disk Utility, make sure it is turned on, reboot and see if that mounts it so it shows up.

  • Time Machine can't find external drive after installing Lion

    Time Machine can't find external drive after installing Lion. I have a Laice 1 terabyte external drive that worked fine with Snow Leopard and now no show ... tried connecting it to front port and Mac Pro can't see it. Also lost Office,Quicken, and Final Cut Pro  says: " You can't open application because Power PC apps are no longer supported" this is Not a good surprise!

    Does the drive work when just directly connected? If so, have you prepped the drive?
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

  • IPhone 6, iOS 8 - Apple Mobile Device USB Driver wont install

    Ive just purchased an iPhone 6 from the Apple store. Of course because its the latest model its running the latest iOS (iOS 8.0).
    I tried connecting it to my computer with the included USB lightening cable. My computer attempted to install the driver and then the error message appeared "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver install was not successful".
    I have tried another USB port. I also tried a solution from a previous similar topic on the Apple discussion threads that suggested uninstalling iTunes & the 3 Apple software additions: Apple Application Support, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support.
    Once the above software was uninstalled i connected my iPhone6 via USB to my computer and device manager read it fine. I assumed my issue was resolved so i continued to reinstall iTunes once again. Once all complete i connected once more and the original error reoccurred.
    Is this an issue with just iPhone6 models, iOS8 users or is there an underlying problem?

    OK.  I found my answer, thanks to another posting.
    Uninstall iTunes
    Uninstall Apple Software Update
    Uninstall Mobile Device Service
    Uninstall Bonjour
    Uninstall Application Support....all in this order.
    Clear everything from Trash.
    Restart PC
    Install latest version of iTunes.
    It worked!

  • [SOLVED] BIOS not detecting USB Drives after i installed Arch

    SOLVED: In BIOS under 'Advanced' disable 'Fast BIOS Mode'.
    Original post:
    Hi there!
    I'm fairly new to the arch (and linux) scene and just setup my Samsung 530U3B with a brand new installation of arch. Everything went fine and the system is running flawlessly. Almost.
    I just happend to notice that BIOS is not checking for USB drives anymore, it just somehow skips that part. If enter the boot selection, the bootable USB drive won't show up. Neither does it show up in BIOS setup. I tried to boot with the same USB drive that i used to install arch just yesterday, the live media does not boot - the drive doesn't even blink. The boot priority is set to usb drive first, the boot selection screen (hammering f10 during boot) doesn't give me any other option than to boot from the normal SSD. Also, prior to the arch installation (came with w7 installed) the BIOS screen would stay for about 2seconds and then proceed to boot - this doesn't happen anymore. When i press the power button greeted by the grub bootloader in about 1s.
    I tried 2 different usb drives, both with the arch iso (same that i used to install the currently running OS, downloaded yesterday). The drives also show up once my arch is booted (starting to blink just after i hit enter in grub). Also, both drives boot without a problem on my desktop computer.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    I don't really now what kinda of information would be helpful so i'm just dumping stuff i know:
    BIOS: Phoenix SecureCore Tiano Version 04XK
    Machine: Samsung 530U3B
    SSD: Samsung MZ7PC128HAFU-000
    ISO used to install (checksum ok): archlinux-2012.07.15-netinstall-dual.iso

    Welcome to the forum.
    If you just set the USB stick to be first in the boot order, the next option (from the list) takes its place the moment you unplug it. You need to set the BIOS to boot from your equivalent of "Removable Devices" first, "Internal Drives" second and "Optical Drives" third.
    The USB stick doesn't show up at all. I set the priority as follows:
    1. USB HDD
    2. USB FDD
    3. USB CD
    4. SATA CD
    5. SATA HDD
    6. NETWORK
    I used that same configuration to install arch. USB doesn't seem to initialize at all. Also, if i enter "usb" in the grub commandline, no devices are listed.
    Thanks!
    UPDATE:
    I just figured it out. In my BIOS under 'Advanced' the 'Fast BIOS Mode' was enabled, once i disabled it, everything went fine. I don't remember changing that option. Silly me.
    Sorry for your time

  • Can I install OS X 10.6 on a USB drive after the Mac HD dies?

    I don't have a bootable backup HD for my Mac, nor a complete backup copy of my HD.
    So, if the Mac hard drive suddenly fails one day, would I be able to still turn on the Mac, plug in a USB drive, insert the OS install CD, and install the OS on the USB to use the Mac???

    Ok, thanks Can the USB be one of those cheap small flash drives (16GB or so)?

  • Can I use a USB drive to install windows 7 on my Macbook Pro?

    I currently have the Windows 7 iso on a usb flash drive.  I am running bootcamp 4.0.3, and there is no option to create a windows 7 install disk via usb drive.  Also I cannot download the Windows support software.  Is there a direct download to the drivers, or another version of bootcamp that would allow me to install via usb, like the MBA?  Or is there a way to work around this problem?  I don't have access to any writable CD/DVDs so the usb drive is really my only option currently.

    Copy the ISO to your disk and try using that to write the ISO to (another) USB device.
    Instructions for the Air: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4407
    download a free iso burning program for Mac (we used SimplyBurns Mac). That program runs you through the necessary steps to properly burn the iso file you need. After doing so, Bootcamp recognized the installation file and everything worked as it should.

    If for some reason you downloaded Windows from Microsoft instead of buying a package with a disc, you need to download the ISO version and burn it to a DVD. See this article on downloading the ISO: http://www.mydigitallife.info/windows-7-iso-x86-and-x64-official-direct-download -links-ultimate-professional-and-home-premium/ (Make sure you choose the ISO that matches the version you bought).
    Here's instructions on burning an ISO with Disk Utility: http://lifehacker.com/251758/mac-tip--how-to-burn-an-iso-or-dmg-file-to-disc And this thread on burning a Windows DVD in OSX: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2039118?start=0&tstart=0 (Summary: you can use Disk Utility to burn the ISO, but choose a slow burn speed)

  • Mac Pro not Detecting Bootable USB Drive to Install Snow Leopard 10.6

    Hi
    I have to Mac Pro 2 x 2.8 GHz Intel Xeon. I have been running Leopard on them. I wish to install snow leopard, so i took out my USB HDD where I have made a Bootable Partition with snow leopard. I have used this in the past on all my machines to install snow leopard. Now when I try to install Snow Leopard from this on my mac pro, it does not detect in the "Option Boot" start up menu, it only shows my leopard disk. If I got to start up disk in system preference, then it shows my Snow Leopard disk, but when i select that as start up, it still boots to my Leopard..
    Since I am doing a fresh Install , I have another HDD installed, formatted for snow leopard. When I launch snow leopard installer from Leopard and select install in the new drive, it does some installation , but when restarting  it goes to my leopard again.
    This is the case on both the Mac Pro;s, but not on my laptops, I tried on my air and my macbook pro, and my friends mac book pro, it instantly boots up to the usb drive with snow leopard.
    So is there anything im missing ? Or is there something wrong with my Mac Pro's?
    I dont have the snow leopard DVD, else I would have tried that too..
    Please advice asap!!
    Thanks
    Sa1

    Hey
    Thanks for the reply!
    I have two USB HDD, with the copy from snow leopard dvd, and both are formatted in GUID, they work fine on my laptops and even the old mac mini, just not working on two identical Mac Pros.. Its very strange, as it keeps booting to leopard, and if I remove leopard Disk, and just put the new one and connect the USB dive, its shows a folder with a "?" mark sign!
    And the USB just works fine after its booted to leopard, it even starts installing snow leopard to the disk i assign, but it does not complete the installation as it boots to main leopard drive..
    I have tried to reset PRAM on both machine, I have changed usb slot..
    I dont know what to do!

  • Can't mount or access Time Capsule shared drive after installing Mavericks

    Hi everyone,
    I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Mavericks (10.9.2) last weekend and everything went fine at first.
    However, after copying and moving several files from-to my Time Capsule, I can't access the shared drive anymore.
    My Time Capsule is installed in a LAN and I can see it from all computers (it prompts for the security password). However, even as the "Data" volume in TC is shown on Finder, I cannot access it or browse any of the files on it, neither the backup files (sparsbundle) not the regular folders/files we kept there as a shared volume. (see screenshots). All I see is the "Data" folder as a "Sharepoint" (?). When I double click I see an error message: "The operation can't be completed because the original item for "Data" can't be found" (see screenshots attached).
    I ran Airport Utility 6.3.2 and everything seems to be working well on the Time Capsule. It shows a solid green light and the firmware is up to date (7.6.4).
    I need to recover my files from the drive (I don't care too much about the backup files as I can recreate them from scratch). I've been reading support forums all morning and couldn't figure out a way to do it.
    I also tried the "Archive" function from Airport Utility to copy everything on TC to a USB drive and nothing happens (all I get is a Time Machine backup folder with zero items in it).
    Any ideas on how to recover the files on the drive would be great!
    Thanks.

    Have you tried shutting down the Time Capsule and then restarting it? Have you tried resetting it?
    See pages 28 and 29. Using Airport Utility (page 29), I don’t see the options the manual says are there. I have done a reset and a full reset (page 28) many times and it has always straightened out the Time Capsule.

  • Why is there so much available space on my hard drive after installing Lion?

    I just made the decision to  go ahead and install the new operating system "Lion"
    I backed everything up to my Time Capsule and I have an older back up of everything on an external hard drive.
    Now I have two questions and one task.
    Why is there so much available space on my hard drive and where did my iPhoto library go after installing the new operating system?
    My task is to restore my most up to date iPhoto library which I assume is on my time capsule.
    How should I approach this task?

    Hi entresoft,
    I am not sure how to do this. I am not a very literate computer person but have a vague idea of what you are suggesting.
    If I do manage to figure out how to do what you have suggested will this restore my iPhoto Library and I assume maybe other files?
    Thanks!
