Reconnecting A Device

- Earlier this evening, I wanted to turn off my touchscreen. I reseached it, and I read that I must go into Device Manager. So I did so.
- I went under "Human Interface Options" and selected the USB Input setting (I can't entirely remember what it was called).  I disabled it, but I do not see the option anymore. And I can no longer touch the screen. I've tried absolutely everything, and I can't find it anywhere in my laptop. I've only had it since July of last year. Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance!
Edit:
I think I am onto something. I found the USB Input Device by choosing the option to show hidden devices. My computer is telling me to reconnect the device, although I'm confused. I was able to disable the touchscreen option before. Why am I unable to reenable it?
This question was solved.

Hi @torianne1126
Welcome to the HP Forums! I saw your post regarding the problems re-enabling the touchscreen. You are on the right track. Try right clicking the USB Input Device and see if you enable listed. In your image showing the USB Input Device there is another item partially hidden by that Windows. It starts off with “HDI-compliant tou” what is the rest of it?  Also, just so I know what we are working with what is your product number.

    When i wake up my iMac from sleep my wifi is disconnected.  It also disconnects my iPad, my wives iPad, my iPhone & Sky On Demand which is connected via wifi. To reconnect all devices i have to switch off & then on again wifi on the iMac. Can anyone help?

    Had the same issue and finally solved it.  After the upgrade to Mavericks our 2 new Macbook Airs stopped connecting automatically to Wifi while the older machines the kids had still worked fine.
    Bought a new airport extreme and problem solved.   Our Airport Extreme was about 5 years old and was probably not compatible with the new OSX.
    BTW this was after trying everything people suggested on this forum and a 4 hour marathon tech support call with Apple where we reinstalled the OSX.
    ***** to need to spend $200 but glad the problem got solved.
    New extreme is also mega fast so its all good.

  • How to reconnect a device

    So you blocked it with the MAC filter in the router right?  Simply select the MAC filtering and remove/add to allow/deny the MAC address.

  • Windows 7 keeps freezing, disconnecting/reconnecting USB devices

    Last week, a lightning strike near where I live caused a power surge and as a result, my ethernet card was fried.  I took my computer (iMac) to a store to have it repaired, and they wound up replacing the entire motherboard (a bit extreme in my opinion, but what do I know).
    When I got it back today, sure the ethernet problem was solved, but I noticed that my taskbar was acting weird - specifically the icons in the notification tray.  Lots of them were "blank", meaning there were just empty spaces that would highlight when I hovered the cursor over them, but nothing happened when I clicked them.
    Then I discovered that clicking any of the icons in the notification tray almost immediately froze the computer.  Frozen, as in completely unresponsive to the point where my only option was to manually shut off the computer.  That happened twice.
    My solution was to reboot in safe mode and run system restore to an earlier point.  That fixed the notification tray problem (no more freezing, and the icons were all back), but the computer still keeps freezing at random intervals.  Again, my only solution is to manually shut it off by holding down the power button, which I hate doing because I know it's bad for the hard drive.  Sometimes it froze as soon as the welcome screen.  I tried running a virus scan, but again it froze in the middle of the process.
    On top of the constant freezing, it keeps disconnecting/reconnecting my usb devices.  My mouse and keyboard will suddenly drop out for five seconds and then start working again.  This constantly happens, to the tune of several "disconnect" sounds playing over the speakers.
    What the heck is going on?  I tried re-installing the Boot Camp drivers, but that didn't work.  I have my Windows 7 CD and backed up files, so if worse comes to worst I can do a clean install of Windows, but I'd rather not have to spend a day re-building my computer, and I'd REALLY rather not take it back in for another repair, since that took a week and I need this for my work.
    Any ideas on what I should do?  I'm out of town on my laptop for the weekend, and I'd like to have a game plan for when I get back.

    I'm very excited to finally have a solution for this problem. Thank You Balaji for figuring this out. I've been struggling with this for a number of years, and had only one USB Hard Drive that worked. I too have VMware workstation, and had the missing files
    in "c:\windows\inf." I can say with certainty that I did not delete the files from that folder, but something is common in both of our situations. Maybe it has to do with VMware, and some of it's updates over the years. I'm also using nCompute to share out
    a networked desktop via the wire. 
    One more thing worthy of mention is this machine was an update from Windows Vista, and the USB hard drive that worked was configured back than. So although I could never add another HD, at least I had the one.
    Now with having copied over the files, I can plugin other USB enclosures with different drives and they too are working.
    Like you mentioned, it was always possible to use USB devices within my Virtual Machines, so it was clear that the USB ports were functional. I actually got the files from a clean Windows 7 VM, copying out the \windows\inf folder and doing a compare between
    the the real one and the virtual one. I found the two missing files you mentioned, along with 8 others. I went ahead and included them all in your fix.
    It worked, Amazing. Thanks again. :O)

  • ITunes was unable to verify your device. Please disconnect and reconnect your device. If the error persists, please visit your nearest Apple Store for assistance. To find your nearest Apple Store,

    Dear Suport,
    when I upgraded to IOS 6,1,3 it gives me an error message "your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temp....." Try Again
    Regard
    Iyus

    Just for what it is worth - I am currently getting the same error "iTunes was unable to verify your device" when trying to restore my first-generation iPad. I restored it several times, even trying DFU mode - and each time, ultimately, I get the same message as the original poster in this thread. I have had this iPad since it was originally released, and have never run anything on it but standard iOS, I would not know how to begin jailbreaking or hacking an iPad anyway. It was working just fine yesterday. Then I decided to upgrade and to give this iPad to a friend, so I wanted to wipe it and restore. I wiped it, and now this. Very frustrating.

  • How to reconnect a pay-as-you-go device?

    Hi guys,
    

I have a little bit of a complicated problem, but the verizon wireless site is leading me in a maze of circles and I can find no email address for support. I will do my best to explain briefly. I have been out of the country for the last 6 months, therefore my pay-as-you-go phone has been disconnected. I want to reconnect my phone. Here is where the problem starts. I have been using this number for several years and I have certainly used my verizon wireless account in the past. However, I cannot access my account no matter what I try. The sign in bar will not recognize anything that my user  ID might possible be, therefore I tried entering the number of the phone. This takes me to a page that says, “If your mobile number is disconnected you must enter your User ID.” So I click “I forgot my User ID,” and the site takes me to a page prompting me to enter my phone number. Again, I enter the number and the site tells me, “You have not registered with My Verizon, please register now.” This can not be correct, as I have stated I have used the verizon wireless site for this number in the past. I also looked up reconnecting a device under frequently asked questions. The issue is addressed there, and it even includes a link to a page to “Suspend or Reconnect Service.” When I click this link, it brings me back to the main verizon wireless page. I’m sure you can understand my frustration because the site is leading me in circles over and over. I just need to reconnect my service on the same device I was using in the past. Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.


    Thank you very much,
    Ryan

  • I am trying to restore a locked device where password is unknown.

    iTunes goes to restore, iPhone Software Update goes to 18,000  hours remaining, then stops with error 9006.  I have done the same thing on a different device, restore took about 8 minutes, so network connection is fine.
    I've retried this restore on the locked device about 6 times, same result.
    Here is the background.  I manage mobility for my company.  I have an iPhone 5 from a terminated employee that we are trying to reset and redeploy.  We do not know the passcode for the device and cannot contact the terminated employee as the parting was not amicable.
    So, held down power and home keys while device was disconnected, until it shut down.  Held down home key while reconnecting the device.  Window opened in iTunes saying it had detected a device in recovery mode and the device would have to be restored.  Clicked on Restore iPhone, window opened asking if I want to restory the iPhone to factory settings.  I clicked on Restore and Update. iOS 7.1 update opens, accepted license agreement and download begins.  Hours remaining continually counts up until it hits anywhere from 14,000+ to 18,000+ hours remaining, then stops with error message:  "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone "iPhone".  An unknown error occurred (9006).  Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later."  Then I get the message that iTunes cannot connect to the device because it is locked with a passcode and I need to enter the passcode to proceed.  In other words, back to square one.
    I have my own iPhone 5, so I backed it up and repeated the same steps to restore it to factory settings, took about 8 minutes with no errors, so I know there is no issue with my network connection.
    I need to get this device restored so we can redeploy it.  Any suggestions are much appreciated.

    Yes, you will still get the prompt.
    I meant reset then try the recovery mode restore again.
    You can also try DFU Mode.
    DFU (Device Firmware Update) Mode is different than Recovery Mode.
    DFU Mode is a special mode where the device can still interface with iTunes, yet it does not load the iBoot bootloader.
    DFU Mode:
    Plug your device into your computer.
    Turn off the device.
    Hold the Power button for 3 seconds
    Hold the Home button without releasing the Power button for 10 seconds
    Release the Power Button but keep holding the Home button
    Keep holding the Home button until you are alerted by iTunes saying that it has detected a device in Recovery Mode
          NOTE: Make sure the device screen is blank and no logos are present. Be patient, it make take several trys.

  • E5: Ovi Suite has lost connection with your device...

    I am trying to update the software on my E5 using OVI suite but I keep getting an error during the install phase (after backup). The following error and instructions are displayed in the OVI suite window but makes no difference when I follow these instructions (just end up back with the same error).
    "Nokia Ovi Suite has lost connection with your device. Follow these steps to help reconnect your device:
    1. Remove USB cable from your device.
    2. Restart the device (turn off and on again).
    3. Re-insert the USB cable.
    4. Click 'Ok' below to continue updating."
    Current E5 software version is 042.007.
    I am trying to update to E5 software v. 043.115
    Any ideas?

    Yep having the same issue. Just got a replacement handset due to the random restarting issue, soon after setting up the new handset I get a message on phone saying software update is available. Both OVI suite and Nokia software updater say version 43.115 is available (about 200mb in size), I currently have the same version as you 42.007. It claims to do a lot of improvements to the handset. The update downloads fine but when it comes to installing I keep getting the same issue. Phone simply will not restart automatically and the update restarts then fails at the same point over and over. Had the same problem with my previous handset.
    I spoke with my network provider to see if it was an issue with the handset needing firmware specific to them but they said no it is an issue with the firmware itself and has been happening to everyone since its release!!! They said I should not download it until Nokia has resolved the issues with it. But how do I know when that will happen as I cannot find anything put out by Nokia stating there is an issue or anywhere on web forums saying there is actually a problem.

  • USB device keeps disconnecting/connecting after upgrading to Windows 8.1

    I have a device(Pedal for Sim Racing) connected via USB, everything is working fine in Windows 7 and 8 but after upgrading my machine to Windows 8.1 the device keeps disconnecting and connecting for like every 2 seconds. But after I open the Property Sheet
    in Game Controllers panel the disconnection issue was gone, if I reconnect the device the issue persist. Other people who have similar device also encounters the same issue after upgrading to windows 8.1. The issue persist with or without the device driver
    installed. 
    Any idea, what might cause this? 
    Best regards
    mark

    I'v got this exact same problem with my Win 7 desktop.  I've also got pedals and wheel but don't see it as different than all the other USB devices.  I'm using a bunch of USB, but no hubs, including 3 external storage hard drives. But the momentary
    disconnect appears in all devices as best as i can see..even my long time trouble free head phones..keyboard..and all.  Sometimes the sound goes away and if I unplug and replug them the sound comes back, and other times I have to exit and re enter the
    game. I also get video crashes ..maybe not related.IDK..and have to restart all, because I've got three black screens in Eyefinity. For years my system was trouble free and its just slowly started getting worse. I've thought it had to do with system "sleep"
    etc but long ago went to never sleep max performance etc..Makes no difference. Keep thinking its my hardware or my house wiring etc..But can't seem to solve it. I replaced my Mobo/chip/ram maybe 6 months ago and that appears to have not helped.  It seems
    to be getting worse. I hate to start replacing parts piece by piece..cost a lot of money and sometimes doesn't help.
    When I'm playing a game I can often hear "faint" sound of USB connect disconnect happening with regularity..that little bing/boink sound etc..So it must just be constantly happening...Seems weird. Didn't have anything like this happening years
    ago with pretty much the same hardware and same Win7 with the continuing updates etc.
    What can be causing this common problem?

  • All firewire devices not recognised after upgrading to Leopard 10.5.4

    Hello, yesterday I finally got around to upgrading one of my home computers (old Emac G4 powerpc from 2005) to Leopard. I have been using Leopard on my work computer (G5 also from 2005) with no problems for a year now (this Leopard update was installed professionally when. I work with a lot of files on external hd's, mostly Lacies, one Maxtor and yesterday got new G-Drive 1TB. Since the upgrade the Emac will not recognise any of the external hds when connected by Firewire. It will recognise them if I use the USB. However I'm sending too much media traffic (film editing) to just use usb all the time. I need my firewire connections!
    This is clearly a Leopard issue, there are no problems with the drives or the firewire connections or the cables, they all work fine on the work computer and my other home computer (powerbook laptop G4) and as I said the upgraded emac will recognise them from usb. And since it's three different kinds of drives that all work on other computers but all stopped working on the single Leopard upgrade it's not a Lacie, Maxtor or G-drive problem.
    I've seen a lot of threads on this and other support forums about firewire problems but some are a slightly different problem and many are quite old so I wonder if anyone has any recent experience/advice for me?
    Many threads complain that Apple was not recognising the problem, maybe there is also some progress there?
    thanks in advance for any help!

    It's still possible that there is now a hardware issue, and if so it might respond to resetting the FireWire bus. This can often be done by just unplugging the power cord for a few minutes.
    From
    *What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device*

  • "iTunes was unable to verify your device" after succesfully completing recovery mode on iPhone 4

    I have an iPhone 4 which has never caused me any problems, until i updated to iOS7 it started lagging and battery didn't even last until midday (having it charged 100% in the morning!).
    In just a few days it turned off automatically and wouldn't turn on. I googled and solved it by pushing the two buttons together for about 10 seconds. iPhone revived, and all the data was intact though many people states it would've been erased.
    The morning after, using my iPhone more carefully not to have it crash again, it crashed. 10 seconds wouldn't do and I gave up, until the day after I found by surprise that the battery had run out and it finally showed some sign of not being completely dead!
    I connected the cable to iTunes and pushed the Home button before connecting the iPhone and it entered Recovery mode. Recovery mode was completed and the iPhone had to restart to complete the process. While completing I get the error message "iTunes was unable to verify your device, please disconnect and reconnect your device". And from here I don't get anywhere, so I will probably visit Apple Store and ask what can be done, but if anyone has had the same problem please share any possible solution to this problem!

    I had to contact Apple Store and make an appointment. They tried the last step suggested (which I had already tried three times) and stated that the memory had failed. They said it probably failed due to having some small issue already on the phone and then updating to a new iOS.
    They could only offer me an exact copy of my iPhone but new for 149€.

  • "iTunes was unable to verify your device" error

    Hi,
    I have a first generation iPad that has been working just fine. I decided to give it away, and so I wiped it and set about restoring it to factory defaults.... except, now I keep getting the error "iTunes was unable to verify your device. Please disconnect and reconnect your device. If the error persists, see your local Apple store for assistance." Well, the error is persisting despite disconnecting, reconnecting, attempting to restore several times, attempting to use DFU mode, no matter what I do, I get this error. I did see in a different forum, someone said this suggests the iPad was jailbroken or hacked in some way. So, just for clarity here - this iPad was never running anything except standard iOS. Anyone have any ideas?

    Apple's activation servers are down at the moment.  Try again in a few hours (or even tomorrow).

  • USB Device Not Recognized - is my iPod toast?

    Got a new computer recently with Win XP. When I try to connect my iPod with a USB adapter I keep getting "USB Device not Recognized" and if I click that I get "Try reconnecting the device. If Windows still does not recognize it, replace the device."
    I can connect other USB devices like my compact flash cards etc. The iPod was working on my old computer.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks in advance for any help!!!

    I had a new ipod and windows wasnt recognizing it or giving me the message "new hardware found" and then telling me the drivers were missing... this is what I did and it fixed my problem.
    1. go to www.driverguide.com and sign up (for free)
    2. download usbstor.sys & usbstor.inf (and take note of where you download them to)
    3. update drivers by selecting folder you downloaded the two files to
    4. restart computer
    5. open itunes and then connect ipod
    good luck

  • Can't attach USB devices in Windows XP Mode

    I am still trying to set up my new Probook G1 450.  It is presently in the original Win 7 Pro 64-bit OS.
    I am trying to use Windows XP Mode.  I can set up XP Mode, but I can't get USB access under it. But for me, the whole point of getting XP Mode is to be able to run two key programs which require USB access. The USB devices have been successfully installed in Win 7 (it's the programs that require XP Mode).
    I have tried with VMLiteXPMode, Virtual Box, and finally with Windows Virtual PC. The results are about the same. I am presently trying Windox Virtual PC. When I access the USB button on the top of the XP Mode box, there is a list of all the USB devices. This looks like things are fine. All the devices are there. Hooray. Oops, too soon! It still doesn't work. One still has to "attach" the USB device, by clicking its listing under USB devices. When I do this, I get the following error message:
    "Could not attach the USB device. You can attach the USB to a different USB port or restart the virtual machine and try again."
    Yes, I can and have done all those things, and  I get the same error message again and again and again. This is true for all USB devices (except the USB mouse, which works perfectly and automatically in XP mode and is *not* listed under USB):
    * Epson Perfection scanner 
    * HP Laserject printer
    * the computer's own HP HD Webcam,
    and
    * the computer's own Wireless/Bluetooth Device
    For example, the scanner and printer will work well in the host machine, where I have installed them, but they can't be "attached" in XP Mode.
    Notes:
    * I have enabled "integration features"
    * I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting the devices.
    * If I try to install the printer in XP Mode, I can't do that, because this requires, at some point, the printer being plugged in to the USB. And I get the above error message when I try to attach it.
    Also I have already had to deal with one driver issue (it came with the wrong driver for wireless; the right driver wasn't on the HP support page and couldn't be obtained by the computer's own "update' function),  but when I finally discovered the right driver, wireless worked flawlessly
    There is yet another possible driver issue, but I'll leave that for another topic later. One thing at a time.

  • Windows won't recognize my iPod - USB device not recognized

    This is really frustrating. So I got a 4gb iPod nano on Saturday, took it home, set it up and everything was going just fine, no worry's. About 4 hours later I went to adjust my songs and it would not come up in iTunes. A little pop-up box said that the "USB device not recognized - one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it." After owning my iPod for less than an afternoon, I now have an ipod that I can do nothing to including change the music, charge it, etc. It works normally otherwise, it just won't connect to my computer. I then plugged in my older 256mb usb stick, and the same message, it too does not get recognized by windows. So I then tried a brand new 1gb usb stick that I had and the same result, not recognized by windows. I updated my itunes to the latest one after purchasing my ipod (version 7.4.3.1) and have looked up everything that I can and tried everything I saw to try, but nothing, absolutely nothing, worked. However my usb mouse, usb joystick, and usb printer all still work, but my moniter that has four usb outlets on it causes the same message, if I plug in the cable that connects one usb on my computer to the four on my moniter, windows can not recognize it. When I look in my device manager at the "unknown device" under the usb controller list it says that there is not driver for it, however I know that the drivers are either on my computer or built into windows. Any help? Anybody have an idea about what to do? Is it something in my windows registry has changed because of the new itunes, etc.?

    Now that I've had some sleep, I realise I didn't really provide information that may lead to some specific help. Here goes - when I first plugged in the ipod nano (8gb), It displayed the screen it was supposed to - I could see the lightning bolt through the battery icon and knew it was charging. The icon for the ipod also appeared in the left-hand listing in itunes (in the section that existed under Library, before the sections Store and Playlists). This section now does not appear (I can't remember the title of this section, but it might have been 'devices'). In fact, I'm pretty sure this problem started when I clicked on this icon - nothing happened and it disappeared - so did the display on the ipod, which is not just the apple. This means itunes has only Library, Store and Playlist in the left-hand colunm. While I accept that computers do not work on normal logic, this seems to me to indicate that the drivers are fine, the system is fine, my laptop is fine - its the ipod or the usb cord. This morning as I tried again, this time my laptop gave me the option to 'click on the balloon to solve the problem' - let me quote: "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognise it. Try reconnecting the device. If Windows still does not recognise it, replace the device". Come on folks - one of you will surely know how to fix this (short of me taking the ipod back to the store to get my money back).
