SD/MMC reader doesn't ''exist''! on Compaq 515

I don't really know how to express my angry on this forum, I'm tired of extremely bad HP's site usability, is just a mess to find solutions for my product, there are BUTTONS EVERYWHERE, contact hp here, contact here,  and the best of all is that redirects you to a different solutions page that you have no idea, after all, nothing for what I'm trying to find...
My SD/MMC on my recently bought  notebook Compaq 515 VX366LA doesn't appear anywhere on Windows 7, neither on driver manager, no driver, no controller, no sign of nothing, my question is, WHY THE HECK TheY PUT AN sd mmc card reader slot on a NOTEBOOK IF IT WON'T WORK?
I wanted a note with bluetooth so I could easily transfer my files from office, but I liked this notebook (which doesn't have btooth) because I noticed on HP's official product page that it "comes" with expansion features: Secure Digital (SD) MultiMediaCard (MMC) so I thought I could use sd memory cards, but after all, having trying hours with different adapters it has just made me desperate about this. I also read this 'Using and Troubleshooting Memory Card Readers' (I don't remember how I get there, I think via google) and tried all but steps but nothing.. 
I installed and tried with several drivers that also doesn't belong to my 515, (RICOH, Texas Instrument, etc) but nothing. I have to say, it is just SHAME from you, I spent money on this note because I thought would be useful, but after all, HP Support Assistant is worst... 
This is the end, I know nobody won't read this stuff and less HP, which should be shame on them, I'm very angry and stressed I was close to hit the lcd screen. 
Bad, bad, bad, I think HP should retire Compaq from their menu.

Not sure if this applies to your particular case, but look in Control Panel, Folder Options and unselect "Hide empty drives'.Or similiar wording, I'm not on my Win 7 laptop at the moment to check exact phrase.

  • Hi when i open my application folder, all the application is shown in trash folder. when i click the application it says this app is in trash first move it out. and when i try to open through finder go it says this file doesn't exist. can some1 plz help?

    hi when i open my application folder, all the application is shown in trash folder. when i click the application it says this app is in trash first move it out. and when i try to open through finder> go it says this file doesn't exist. can some1 plz help? how can i put all my application through application folder?

    Something really odd is going on. In your first screen shot, I noticed that the Applications folder does not have the proper icon displayed in the side bar. Also, in the title bar it lists it as Applications 08-59-29-909.
    Not sure where it's picking up that odd name, unless it's because it's still truly within the Trash folder.
    Try this. In the Finder > Preferences > General > turn on "Always open folders in a new window". (I have a feeling you have the default setting with this off).
    Now, in Finder > Go > move down and open the Applications Folder from there. Now open the folder where you see all your applications that you show in your screen shot, select all, and move them to this true appliactions folder.
    This is what you should properly seeing (but with different apps listed):
    See how the Applications folder has the icon of the letter A shaped with a pencil, ruler & pen.

  • How to deauthorize a computer , that doesn't exist anymore?

    I unisnstalled windows , and for some reason when i inserted my ipod to the freshly installed windows+itunes , and logged on my account , iTunes said , that its a new computer and asked me to authorize it , and so i did.
    My question is: how can i deauthorize my old version of windows , that doesn't exist anymore?
    I also have another question in this topic : When i want to buy items from itunes from a new device , it asks for my bank card number , and takes 1-2 dollars from it. Is this ok?

    Take a look at this Apple support article; it may help:

    When i want to buy items from itunes from a new device , it asks for my bank card number , and takes 1-2 dollars from it. Is this ok?
    I'm not sure what you mean by this. What "items"? If you are referring to music, videos or movies, you get only one download per purchase, so if you buy the items again, whether from another device or the same one, yes, you will be charged again. Only apps allow redownloading without additional charge.

  • Error trying to relate tables "...either doesn't exist or doesn't have a relationship to any table available in the current context"

    I have two tables;
    The first is my Order table which has a single row for each unique order - there are no duplicate order numbers.The order id column here is called
    OrderID.
    The second is my Submissions table which is similar to a transactions table, there are multiple submissions for every order. This table also contains an
    OrderID column that contains the relevant OrderID.
    The submission table also contains a calculated field called Date and a calculated field called
    MaxDate field which is the date of the most recent submission that relates to any particular order in cases where there are multipple.
    My goal is to add a column to the Order table this MaxDate column. The reason for duplicating the information rather than linking the tables is because I need to create more calculated columns in the
    Orders table based on this value.
    I have created a relationship between the two tables however when I use:
    =RELATED(Submissions[MaxDate]
    I get this error:
    "...either doesn't exist or doesn't have a relationship to any table available in the current context"
    I don't really understand why this would be, because MaxDate definitely exists and contains only numerical values. What is more strange is that if I try and combine the data through a pivot table it actually works! I can create a pivot with OrderID in the first
    column and then associate it with MaxDate from the Submissions
    table as the value. 
    Can anyone help me understand what is the problem here?
    P.S. if it is useful the formula I'm using to calculate the MaxDate is:
    =MAXX(FILTER(Submissions,Submissions[OrderID] = EARLIER(Submissions[OrderID])),[Date])
    Thanks.

    Maracles, is this still an issue?

  • I am having a hard time with a page that is working for everyone else. When I click on anything in the site I get a message that says "The page you were looking for doesn't exist."  This is happening on both my ipad 2 and my iphone 5. I cleared my cache

    When I click on anything in the site I get the message " The page you were looking for doesn't exist."  This website works for everyone else, but not on my iPad 2 or iPhone 5. I cleared my cache and history on the iPad, but it still isn't working.

    I live in Germany and my credit card is in my native country of Holland .. then it
    doesn't accept my credit card.
    Your first statement explains the second statement. To use the German iTunes Store, you need to prove that you're a resident of Germany (that is required by the content owners who will not allow cross-border sales) and the only way Apple can provide such a verification is by requiring that you enter in either a German credit card or a German-purchased iTunes prepaid card. Since I presume the former is not a possibility, you'll need to do the latter if you wish to purchase content from the iTunes Store. Again, this is not Apple's choice but is forced on them by the content owners as a requirement for Apple being allowed to sell the content. The EU is working on regulations that would force the content owners to allow access pan-EU, but that's still in the works.
    You do not need an iTunes Store account to activate and run your iPad, though; at least, I didn't need one for either of my two iPads. If you only want to set up an account so you can get free iPad apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is apparently critical. This seems to come and go, or only apply to App Stores in specific countries, so you may not see the option for "None" when asked for a payment type.
    As to the German iTunes Store in English, you can comment to Apple on that via their feedback pages:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Regards.
    P.S. Regarding "this is the only place for a complaint and that will no doubt get removed because
    I'm not full of happy joy sparkles.
    As stated in the terms of use to which we all agreed, this isn't a complaint forum, it's a technical support forum. You don't have to be full of "happy joy sparkles", but posts that are nothing but complaints may indeed be removed. If you want to complain to Apple, use the feedback pages.

  • How can I remove my very old Apple ID from my Iphone 4S as I have created other apple IDs.The old one is still staying on my mobile but that email doesn't exist anymore. I cant rest my mobile as this email address is staying my icloud setting.

    Q:-
    How can I remove my very old Apple ID from my Iphone 4S. The old ID is still staying on my mobile but that email doesn't exist anymore. I cant rest my mobile as everytime i tried it asks ID password which I don't remember.

    Hello mushysun,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you did not sign out of your Apple ID on your iPhone before creating a new one, then you will need to sign back in with your previous Apple ID and then sign out.  If you do not remember your password and do not have access to the email account, then you can reset your password by using the security questions.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    Have a great weekend,

  • ICloud has my old Apple ID and is prompting for a password, but I want to put in the new id, I can't because it is grey and there is no edit option.  I'm prompted for a password to an account that doesn't exist

    iCloud has my old Apple ID and is prompting for a password, but I want to put in the new id, I can't because it is grey and there is no edit option.  I'm prompted for a password to an account that doesn't exist.  Anyone know what I can do to fix this or why this is happening.?  I had no issue putting in my new Apple ID everywhere else, I could sign out of the old and inactive account and then sign back in using my new and proper one.  However, after the update to 7.3 it did a whole welcome to yr iPad and a set up thing and it went to set up iCloud and had my old Apple ID in grey where I can't change or edit it, it wants the password, when I put in the old password, it say yr Apple ID is incorrect but yet it won't let me change it??????? Anyone???

    Sign out and back into your apple id from Settings>iTunes and App stores>(Your apple ID)>Sign Out and then sign in again with the new address. Close app store from running in the background (or restart the phone if your unsure how to do this). If when trying to update any apps they are still asking for the old apple ID, delete and re-install those apps.

  • Error help- "the operation could not be performed ...file... doesn't exist"?

    Hi,
    I am experiencing some probmels with ICE and can't find a reason for why.  I was able to edit the pages on the site through ICE about a month ago, but the client just let me know they can't do anything for any page.  I also can't do anything for any pages I was able to previously edit.  Basicall, I get this error message after being able to log in, edit page, and click save draft/ changes I get the following error:
    "The operation could not be performed because the file can't be accessed or doesn't exist..."
    I have looked extensively at these threads: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/444356?tstart=60
    and http://forums.adobe.com/thread/432559?tstart=0
    From that I have tried the following:
    Made sure passive FTP was working properly
    Verified FTP Dreamweaver connection with same FTP account: all is good and i can change and put the pages in question on the server.
    Verified tags in page (I think I have most pages correct.- although I know some are still not div tagged correct, but don't think thee issues are related.)
    verified that the directory settings on the adobe account (which is the root) is only "/"
    Tried editing in both Safari and FF and the client tried in IE and FF (all most recent versions I think)
    No progress has been made.  Actually now my adobe account for managing my sites is not allowing me to manage "settings" for this site either.  The tab is there but doesn't have the word settings on it and therefore I can't click it anymore
    Here is the site: www.extremecommunitymakeover.org.  I know for sure I WAS able to edit the index, get involved, and contact us pages a moth ago and now I get the error.
    Also- another maybe related problem is that I can't actually duplicate or create new pages via ICE.  Everything I try to name the new page gets kicked back and the dialog box says error says the "file extension is invalid".
    So- I seem to have a couple problems possibly all related to each other and your help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sean

    Here's the setup on the two machines in particular...
    Machine #1:
    XP Pro
    Was IE7, now latest FF
    No antivirus
    Firewall – Windows Firewall, Downloaded AVG free trial ver., but not installed
    Machine #2:
    XP Pro
    IE7
    Again, No AV… had Kaspersky… but uninstalled it
    Windows Firewall
    Maybe that could be of some assistance... not seeing anything that could possibly block or inhibit the ICE. Each machine is independent of the other, separate networks, different locations, JavaScript enabled, no cookie blockers, etc.

  • Trying to Do TotPlan Refresh but TotPlan.dmp file doesn't exist

    It's not the AppleScript that's failing, but more likely the shell script.
    It's likely that AppleScript is calling the perlscript.pl file just fine, but perlscript.pl is failing because it can't find a file. That error gets passed back to AppleScript, and AppleScript reports it to you as the user.
    The reason behind the failure is almost certainly because you're relying on some element of the user's environment  that doesn't exist in the do shell script environment - most typically $PATH.
    For example, your user's $PATH may include the path to perl, but the do shell script's environment does not. If that's the case, then writing the first line of the script as:
    #! perl
    will work when called from your shell, but may fail when called from do shell script if the $PATH isn't configured.
    The solution? Look at the perlscript.pl and make sure you're using absolute paths where necessary - at the very least it'll need a full path for /usr/bin/perl, but maybe also other files referenced by the script.

    Attempting to upgarde itunes and I get an error message looking for "an alternate path to a folder containing 'iTunes.msi' location.  I've searched my hard drive and the file doesn't exist.  What to do?

    This worked...found on a prior discussion:

    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    From the link above (near the top of the page)....Under 'download locations'   click on 'download@majorgeeks'
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you just downloaded and ran.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:

  • 'Source Directory doesn't exist' error in sender file adapter

    Hi All,
    I m getting the error 'Source Directory doesn't exist' in sender file adapter.
    The source file directory doesn't exist in XI Server. Its in a different system.
    gone through other sdn t hreads.
    the options seems to be
    1. either to mount the Source Directory on the XI Server.
    2. Install a FTP server and use FTP protocol.
    My doubt is that, could nt we give necessary access rights to the XIAFUSER whihc will access the Source Directory?
    Wont it be sufficient?

    Hi Aarthi,
    If you are using system other than XI, then you have to use FTP server
    else check you have proper authorization of read/write to the source directory...
    and check the name of it as well, as it is case sensetive and you have provided the proper details of server.
    check these blog as well...

  • The Dimension with ID ... doesn't exist in the collection

    BPC 7.5 SP3, MS SQL 2005
    I am processing an applicaiton using the Admin console.  Choosing "Modify Application", checking the "Process Application" checkbox and clicking "Modify Application" to rebuild the app.  The result is successful completion with an error on the details portion of the display under "Modify Fact Table" that lists and exception in the Log.  The log in the management console shows the error
    Microsoft.AnalysisServices.ItemNotFoundException: The "Dimension" with "ID" = PROFITCENTER doesn't exist in the collection.
    The ProfitCenter dimension is one of the application's dimensions.
    I can process the ProfitCenter dimension and process this application as part of the dimension processing and it is successful.
    I can optimize this application and it is successful.
    The application appears to be working properly.
    I can open the cube in SQL Server Analysis Services and I can see the ProfitCenter dimension and browse its members.  I can open the application cube and browse it.
    I checked the profitcenter dimension member table and compared it to the fact tables and all the facts are base level members that are not calculated members.
    Has anyone seen this error?  Is this just a spurious message I can ignore or is there something really wrong?

    We were able to solve this issue today.  We turned off Insight and reprocessed the application.  The error did not appear.  I hope this works for you too.

  • How to I get rid of an "Open With..." option that doesn't exist?

    I've tried to find out how to remove an element of the "Open With..." options but don't seem to be getting much traction. I have an old application listed in the "Open With..." pull down menu that doesn't exist anymore, but when I select the file, using command-i, to change which application opens the file, it works for that file. I want to change association using the "Change All" button, but when I do that, the "dead" application becomes the default application again and I'm back to square one. Is this fixable? How do I get rid of the useless option? Will I have do do this for each file?

    your link gave me a good starting place...
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -R -all -domain local -domain system -domain user
    this seemed to do the trick... I would have never have solved this without your suggestion.
