Sat SM30X: OS recognizes name of peripheral but never finds USB driver

Hi , I have pb with a SM30X ; no matter wich usb device I connect to it ( e.g. generic joystick, usb drive , etc )it recognizes the name of periphral , but never finds any driver to install what should be fine as XP has all generic drivers inside.
I reinstalled from restoration DVD from scratch , but always same pb.
Would it be a bios problem ? the actual one is configured OK for the usb , or would some driver files missing on the original DVD ?
I need a good answer. I can't get my Saitek P220 recognized !!! no joystick game possible !!!
Thanks in advance ,
Best regards,
Anael

Hi
As far as I know you dont need any especially USB drivers. The windows OS uses own usb drivers any they should work without any problems.
I assume that there is some issue with the USB power supply.
Please go to device manager and select the USB root Hub properties. There you will find a power management tab. There you can disable the option Allow the computer to turn off this device
Check this possibility.
Bye

  • Boot from DVD but cannot find hard drive now

    just updated to 10.7.3, then cannot boot from hard drive. I boot from DVD and cannot find hard drive now

    Did the 10.7.3 update complete the installation process?
    Some updates, when being installed and applied can restart (but not fully start up) the machine a couple of times.
    I'd restart your machine and give it a few uninterrupted minutes to see if it boots up normally. Depending on the specs of your iMac, the remapping of app shortcuts etc can take a little while to complete (but not an excessive amount of time).
    It is unlikely the update caused your hard drive to fail.
    If your iMac doesn't boot up, restart and boot into the recovery partition of Lion by holding down both the cmd & R keys while booting. This will run Lion Recovery which will allow you to repair your Hard Drive, reinstall or install a fresh copy of Lion (network access is required).
    If this fails, boot from the recovery DVD and launch Disk Utility from the Tools option in the toolbar and see if your hard drive is listed in Disk Utility. If your hard drive is not listed, there is a hard drive problem and you'll need to speak to Apple Tech Support to arrange a repair.
    Hope this helps

  • Finder searches, but never finds!

    So I've seen related topics, but never anything that has quite helped the problem. As the title states, my Finder works, but using the search bar never finds anything. Finder will continue to search and search and search without producing any results. Spotlight also does this. I have tried repairing permissions, repairing the disk, booting from install disc, repairing from the disc, today I tried deleting the .plist files for finder and sidebar, but this resulted in nothing but making my desktop icons big (default size). Along with these problems, within the last several months, I have been unable to use the preview window option in finder as any time it tries to pull up a preview, the system freezes up for several minutes until the preview appears. ALSO, if I try to use the 'Get Info' command, the systems freezes the same way. I'm assuming that these problems are all related, as they all use some form of the finder. Any suggestions?

    The fact that Spotlight won't index suggests you either have some hack which interferes with Spotlight, or data corruption that is interfering with it. I'm not sure that installing the combo update as BDAqua suggests will help or not. While it may give you a fresh copy of some system files, if it misses a cache or preference file for something that conflicts with Spotlight you are still going to be left in a lurch. Backup your data first since you still have access to your hard drive*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    Once that is done, we can analyze what may be corrupting Spotlight.
    It is better to have a backup even with corrupt files which you can extract user saved data from than none at all.

  • I cleared out a movie I made in final cut pro, now fcp will not open completely, I get the logo with all the names running through but never get timeline, browser or anything else?  Help!!  Larry

    I removed a movie I had made and now when I try to open final cut pro, all the stuff shows up with the names, etc, but that is it, I don't get anything else, and, final cut does not show at the top of my computer.  I have the 27 inch iMac with the intel processor, any help will be appreciated.  Larry

    Sounds like you may have deleted more than just the movie file.  It the FCP application in the Applications folder?  if so, try launching from there.  If not, you'll neeed to uninstall the app completely using this: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/  then reinstall from the original install discs.
    You may want to first try trashing FCP's preferences.

    My Iphone 4s can not scan for wifi signals. My phone was jailbroken and it was working fine until one day, my phone began to have problems searching for wifi signals. It connected and took longer to do so, however the next day it didnt pick up any wifi what so ever. I tap settings>wifi>on> and its an endless search in places where there is wifi.I saddly lost my hard drive where i kept a back up for my iphone, so restoring it from a back up wont do.

  • HT4528 I need to connect my iphone 5 to my bluetoot but never find the divice what do I need to do?

    my iphone 5 is not pairing with my bluetoot!

    What's a bluetoot? Do you mean bluetooth, and if so what type of device are you trying to pair it with.? You can only pair it with audio devices or with another iPhone or iPad with third party software for photo and video transfer.
    What's a bluetoot reminds me of My Cousin Vinny when the judge asked Vinny "what's a yout"?

  • I just purchased an ipod shuffle (4th gen.) and  I have been working trying to get it running for hours.  I have followed all manuals and tutorial help.  When I pull up my device manager, it shows an Ipod, but won't let me download the Usb driver.

    I just purchased and IPod Shuffle (4th gen.) and can't get it running.  I have gone through all of the help available.  It shows up in my device manager, but needs a USB driver.  It will find it online, but says an error has occurred and access is denied instead of installing.  I bought this for a last minute trip with teenagers and I have spent hours on this.  I am running Windows 7 and have tried disabling the firewall.
    Help, please.

  • Itunes recognizes my ipod touch, but my computer still thinks it's a camera (and the drive only has pictures as a result; no music).

    I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 7, and wanted to transfer my music from my old laptop onto it. Itunes on my new laptop would only let me transfer purchases, and not music that I got from CDs. So, seeing as I didn't have any sort of storage device handy to back up my old itunes library onto, I decided to just transfer my music straight from my ipod touch to my new laptop. I had done this many times before both for myself and for friends, so I was familiar with the process. What you do is you make sure that hidden files can be viewed, and you select "manually manage music..etc" in itunes so your device shows up as its own drive in My Computer. Then you click on that and you should find your music folders. Unfortunately, because my computer recognizes my iPod touch as a digital camera, the folders only had my pictures, and none of my music. I tried to update the driver and change it to usbaapl, the Apple Mobile Device USB driver. However, my device manager keeps saying: "The best driver software is already installed" or something like that. The driver Windows automatically installs is MTP USB device. I've tried uninstalling it but as soon as I plug my ipod back in it just re-installs the wrong driver again. So, is there any fix to this problem or will I just have to go invest in a flash drive to transfer my music?

    Startng wth the iPhone and iPod Touch,  Apple stopped supportng "disc mode" (and that's why your iPod Touch isn't "Aplle format" or "Windows format").  You access the musc, apps, calendars, etc. through iTunes, and you access the photos through the camera interface.
    Windows is not "installing the wrong driver" you are just assuming that the device operates in a way that the newer devices no longer support.  There are some 3rd party aps that will allow you to sync music from your iPod to your PC, but I have never used them so I can't tell you how well they work.  I do seem to recall that XPlay2 was one of the names that supposedly supported doing that though...

  • New Kindle recognizes my airpot network but authentication fails. Any suggestions?

    Have you tried .....
    Settings>WiFi>Network Name - tap the blue arrow - and tap forget this network. Restart the iPad connect to your network, reenter the password and see if works now.
    Settings>General>Reset Netowrk Settings. Restart the iPad, connect to your network, reenter your password and try again.
    Turn WiFi Off, restart the iPad, turn WiFi on again, select your network, reenter the password and try again.
    Finally - maybe a dumb question - are you entering the correct password?

  • My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet".How can I change ip address?

    My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
    Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.

    First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
    Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
    After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
    If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.

  • I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password

    I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password"  This started after they did the change to Icloud and extended our subcriptions.

    I guess that the server name is incorrect, then.
    Did it ever work?
    Delete the account, reboot the phone, then add it back and be sure you choose Yahoo as the mail server type. Everthing should then fill in automatically except your user name and password.

  • ITunes recognizes iPod but can't sync - driver missing?

    Here's the rundown. Several months ago, the complete content of the old XP machine where this iPod's library resided was migrated to a Windows 7 Home Premium system using LapLink PC Mover.  iTunes had never previously been installed on the Windows 7 unit.  iTunes appeared to be functional afterwards, but on the first and all subsequent instances of attempting to sync the iPod, clicking on the Sync button did and still does nothing.  I have tried connecting the iPod to multiple different motherboard-based and pcie-based USB ports, and to a USB2.0 external hub. (Sometimes the screen briefly flashes as though it was switching to the sync process monitor, but usually it's just no change.)  I've tried uninstalling all of the Apple software from the machine, rebooting, and reinstalling.  (When I say "all", that includes iTunes itself, Bonjour, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Software Update, in that order.  Trying any other order produced complaints.  Quicktime is not installed on this machine; iTunes and the iPod are not used for video.)  In looking at the postings of others who have had similar issues, I found a recommendation to reinstall another driver that I have verified is not loading and is not running with the iPod hooked up:  Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.  I have tried to reinstall this driver, but it hasn't worked.  What I have come to suspect is that something in the Windows registry got borked during the transfer, and is causing the load process for the *needed* driver to fail, possibly by trying to load the old XP version.  But my registry-fu is not strong in this, so I'm looking to see if anyone else has run across this issue previously and found a solution.
    Points to note:
    Windows 7, installation was a port from XP via LapLink PCMover
    5th gen classic iPod 80Gb with 34Gb free
    iTunes version 11.4.0.18 is installed  (This was the current version when I started trying to find the problem.)
    Apple Mobile Device Support software is loaded.
    Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is NOT loading, either before or while the iPod is connected.
    In Device Manager, the iPod appears as a Disk Drive and as a Portable Device when connected, but does not appear in the Universal Serial Bus Controllers list.
    iTunes recognizes the iPod and can access it sufficiently to verify that it does not need to be updated.
    iTunes can eject the iPod.
    iTunes cannot sync the iPod.

    I can now expand the information somewhat.  On my second, very similar setup (5th gen Classic connected to Win 7/32 with iTunes 11.4.0.18) I was able to successfully do the initial sync of the iPod several weeks ago, but this afternoon, when I tried to sync it to include the music I had added recently, it failed in the same manner as the other system.  I really, really, really DO NOT want to downgrade to iTunes 12 with it's horrible antinavigation interface and lack of the very useful and needed Sidebar, but it is beginning to look like 11.4.0.18 is problematic, and I don't have an installer for anything else at present.

  • HT4356 I have two printers on my network.  Does anyone know how to change the printer nomenclature - Officejet Pro 8600  (0B54AF) to a recognizable name...like Brad's Office?

    I have two printers on my network.  Does anyone know how to change the printer nomenclature - Officejet Pro 8600  (0B54AF) to a recognizable name...like Brad's Office when you use Airprint?

    You would have to change that in the printer's settings on the printer, if that option is offered by the manufacturer. The iPhone just finds printers on the network and uses the name they have given themselves or that were given to them when they were set up.
