T430s, device without driver, wrong driver selection or other problem

Hi all,
I've got the problem that under device manager there's a device without driver and is thus shown with a yellow exclamation mark.
Vendor ID is 1180, device ID is E822, so it seems to be the
Ricoh PCIe SD/MMC Host Controller.
But if I download the "Media Card Reader Driver for Windows 7" from the Lenovo website and install it, the device still doesn't have a driver. The smartcard reader driver also doesn't help. An automatic search of Windows doesn't find a driver.
My system is: Lenovo notebook T430s, Windows 7 (64bit), model number 2356GDG.
Can anyone post a screenshot of the device manager with all devices listed, so that I can verify that this is the missing device?
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot, babidoo

Hi there babidoo,
Was this the driver you downloaded? Media Card Reader Driver for Windows 7
It was updated August 13th so it's really new. I would also run TVT System Update as well.
Ed
*Edit* Also try updating this driver: SmartCard Reader Driver for Windows 7
TVT System Update should automatically update both of these for you but you can also just update them specifically by visiting those links.

Apple Senior tech lady deleted all my external drive data while sorting out other problem. How can I restore all my photos , music etc back to my Mac Pro?(I am so scared, I haven't connected iPhone to sync! Please help)

It was tele tech. I couldn't open my Page Numbers etc. Frist tech chat idiot - following dumping few things in bin, asked me yo upgrade to Yosemite. But the problem still persists. This morning I was asked to do it via telephone and like yesterday, after wasting 20 min, I was put to this apparent Tech Queen ( my foot!). She eventually decided to reinstall Yosemite asked me to connect my external drive while I connected to her. She was moving cursor asking me to move files and delete and I followed her like a dummy. It took 3/4 hours and she called me 3 times once the lengthy process was completed. I suspected from the beginng for the fact that why should be asking me to click all my backup from the very beginning! Eventually she said I deleted... Or someone else or may be my children ! It was a blatant lie. I run my small business from home and I was simply staying in front of the Mac whole day! Children were at school. Then she said I must have used another computer! I only have laptop and the iPad. I will talk to their manager first thing in the morning. In the mean time please let me know as to how can I transfer photos, music etc back to my laptop from my Iphone and IPad .? I am will connect to laptop as I am worried the new BLANK iPhoto may supersede iphone/iPad stuff? Will it? Please let me know. I am not a very tech savvy person. My son who could help me, is in Manchester Uni and Inam in London.

Wrong Drive Letter After Using Restore Command PSE 9

I know this is an old subject, but it has a twist that I can't relate to other posts. So I'm posting a the question again. I have a client who has all of her pictures stored on an external Drive J, lets say. She also has a full backup using the PSE 9 Backup command that she stored a a second external Drive H. Drive J failed. She bought a new external Drive is named N, lets say.
At this point she uses the PSE 9 Restore command, which runs without errors. The problem is that all of her 30,000 images are disconnected. The Organizer thinks they are still on Drive J (her broken drive). and not on Drive N, the new drive.
I have only communicated with her via email and have not seen what exactly she is seeing. However, from what I can tell, she has been using the PSE 9 Backup/Restore command correctly.
I even simulated her process on PSE 9 and it worked fine.
John R. Ellis has published a lot of hints etc regarding problems for PSE 8 and earlier, and they keep coming up as I search.
Does anyone here have any idea what went wrong and obviously more importantly, how to get the PSE Catalog working again?
TIA

You may need to let the software decide on the file structure.
File à Restore
Select Hard Drive/Other Volume and click the adjoining browse button
Navigate to the folder on your external hdd, select the back up (tly) file and click open.
Go to specify Destination <NONE> and click the adjoining browse button.
I recommend you navigate to Pictures or My Pictures
When you see the message “the restore was successful” you will probably see a flashing message (bottom left in Organizer) which says opening catalog.
You will also get a message: The catalog named ……….psa could not be found. Please open or create a different catalog - click OK.
In the catalog dialog click New
If you see a message saying you have chosen the original file structure and new folders may need to be created - click Yes.

How can I install new windows on NB200-10z without a CD drive?

Hi,
I have a mini laptop "Toshiba nb200-10z" and it doesnt startup anymore.
I would like to do a recovery, but it also doesnt work.
I know there is a shortcut like press the 0 button when the laptop is starting up.
With this shortcut you can start the recovery to reset the software.
But when I press the 0 button it gives me an error.
So I think the recovery drive/partition is lost.
How can I install new windows on this minilaptop without a CD drive?

I have found a much easier way to install Windows 7 from a USB Flash drive. Unlike other methods where you have to write complicated commands, this method can be completed even by those who have very little computer background.
The whole process takes only two steps, run UNetbootin, load the Windows 7 ISO file, and finally restart your computer.
Before you begin, you will require the following:
USB Flash Drive (4GB minimum)
Windows 7 ISO Image file
UNetbootin
Note: If UNetbootin doesnt work, try out the Microsofts official tool called Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool.
Now insert the USB drive, run UNetbootin, and select Disk Image as ISO. Browse your local drive for Windows 7 ISO that you downloaded and click Open. Now Select Type as USB and choose the drive. Once done, it will look like a bit similar to the screenshot shown below.
Click OK and it will begin extracting all installation files to the USB drive. The whole process will take some time (10-15 minutes), so have patience.
Once the installation is complete, reboot your computer. Now while your system is starting up press the appropriate button (usually F1, F2, F12, ESC, Backspace, or Escape) to bring up Bios Boot Menu.
Change the startup order to boot USB by default, usually you will have to press F6 to move the selected USB device on top. Once done, save changes and restart the system.

Can't boot Windows 7 without DVD in drive

Is there a hotfix for this? It's related to this thread: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproinstall/thread/64f729b6-d796-4030-82d9-3fe5a44b0180
If you go to www.google.com and search using the phrase "Windows 7 won't boot without dvd" you'll see that others have this problem too.
I have 2 Raptor hard drives in a RAID-0 array.
I have a third internal 1.5 terabyte hard drive.
The 1.5 terabyte (C:\) HD is for my Win7 OS & my programs.
The RAID-0 array (D:\) is for my games. (RAID-0 is for fast loading performance)
I think it recognized one of the RAID-0 drives as the "first hard drive attached to my motherboard" and somehow Windows 7 put the boot loader info on that hard drive, instead of my 1.5 terabyte C: drive with Windows 7. As a result, Windows 7 won't boot unless I have the DVD in the drive.
I tried the option to boot from the DVD, repair my computer, and from the command prompt do a "bootrec /rebuildbcd" but that failed. So the only fix I see is to PHYSICALLY disconnect the 2 RAID-0 drives, and then do a full install of Windows 7 again. What a royal pain-in-the-____. My motherboard is an ASUS P6T.   Any hotfix in the works???

I finally fixed it. When it first failed, all the research I found said to do the following (which didn't work):
1) Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
2) Click "Next"
3) Click the "Repair your computer" link
4) Choose the "Command Prompt" option in the SYSTEM RECOVERY OPTIONS menu
5) Type: "Bootrec /rebuildbcd" (without the quotes) and press ENTER
That supposedly should have fixed the problem, but it never did. After doing this, I always got the following error message
(which seems like a success message) . . .
Successfully scanned Windows installations.
Total identified Windows installations: 0
The operation completed successfully.
Now, it might have said, "the operation completed successfully", but it CLEARLY did NOT work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Identified Windows installations should be 1, not 0.
Then, I found an obscure message that had the answer. It was on a message board, written in TINY little text.   Here's what I found:
If the Bootrec.exe tool cannot locate any missing Windows installations, you must remove the BCD store, and then you must re-create it. To do this, type the following commands in the order in which they are presented. Press ENTER after each command.
Bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
Bootrec /rebuildbcd
So I rebooted and did the following steps. This is the exact ENTIRE process I did, in case anyone else needs to follow these steps . . .
1) Boot from the Windows 7 DVD      (Yes, patience is a virtue!)
2) Click "Next"
3) Click the "Repair your computer" link
4) Choose the "Command Prompt" option in the SYSTEM RECOVERY OPTIONS menu
5) Type the following commands, exactly as written below, in the order in which they are presented, and press ENTER after each command:
Bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
Bootrec /rebuildbcd
Then close the command prompt box and re-boot your computer. Make sure the boot order in your BIOS has the correct drive as your first boot device. That sounds obvious, but computers give various devices very obscure names, and it's easy to choose the wrong number(device).
Hopefully this process works for others, like it worked for me. I no longer need the Windows 7 DVD in the drive to boot into Windows. Wow, that only took me a full 8 hours of trial and error and research to figure out and fix. Microsoft is making such amazing advancements in technology!!! </sarcasm off>
Thanks for the offer of help derosnec. It's much appreciated!

Error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available" and saving to wrong Drive

I am trying to upgrade iTunes to 10.7 on my PC but I keep getting the error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available". Diagnostics take me a support page which talks about not being able to see the device in iTunes - but I can see the device without problems.
I thought I would try reinstalling iTunes from the webpage and it downloaded to my PC fine but when I went to setup, it showed me it is saving to a DVD drive - not my Hard drive. It also won't let me change the location for the file. I have no idea how that's happened as I obviously don't use the DVD drive as a USB (although the PC see's it as one) and I've never chosen it as the location for iTunes in the 7-8 years that I've been using it.
I then thought I'd try uninstalling it and reinstalling it (to the correct drive) but again, it comes up that the DVD drive is invalid and won't uninstall iTunes.
So I'm stuck and haven't been able to find anything helpful on the support pages or in iTunes Help.
Please someone help ...
Thanks.

Try the following user tip. (Probably, the section on clearing the installation database might be best given that you've currently got a drive on the problematic letter at the moment.)

My ipod was set up on a Mac. Now I have a PC and want to sync my music on iTunes, but I can't without reformatting my drive and losing my music.

My ipod was set up on a Mac. Now I have a PC and want to sync my music on iTunes, but I can't without reformatting my drive and losing my music. Help. I no longer have a Mac. I want to keep the music and videos I purchased. Since it is an iPod classic (80GB) I cannot even use the iCloud. Is there a way to move my ipod's music so I can reformat it to my pc?

WIndows is asking you to reformat the iPod's hard disk because it's probably in the Mac OS X Extended Journaled file system format which the Windows OS can neither read or write to. Reformatting will erase all content from the device and rebuild the filesystem as FAT32 unless you specify it as NTFS (which you shouldn't do).
If you want to be able to use your iPod to copy music from your Mac to your PC, you'll need to either pre-format it as FAT32 using Disk Utility on your Mac and then copy everything over to your PC, or use third party software such as XPlay that allows a Windows PC to read and write to a Mac formatted iPod.
Perhaps you could take a look at this article for other ways to copy your iTunes library and files from your Mac to the PC.

please someone help

Hi Glenn,
You need to Authorize your Mom's computer to your iTunes sign on. Sign on to iTunes, then go to Store at the top of the screen, and select Authorize this Computer.
Then you can download your purchases from your iTunes library by going to the iTunes Store (the one in the sidebar), Music, and then under Quick Links, Purchased.
Once the Purchased window comes up, select "Not on this Computer", and then select All Songs. Your purchased songs will display with a cloud next to them, and you can download them selectively or "Download All" (lower right-hand corner).
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

*SOLVED* Device not detected/ No driver installed for X-FI Fatal

OK!!!! the only reason I signed up here was to post that I have (for me) solved my problem.
Before I get into details this occurred on a fresh system with latest drivers for hardware used.
The problem was installing my X-Fi card on my 680i m/b (striker extreme).. when I would install the driver it would simply crash the computer and when it started up the hardware was not detected to used the software and the device manager said no driver installed.. I tried everything.. I installed the driver in safe mode (yay it worked without crashing) then I booted for windows only to have it blue screen for a second and restart... repeating the cycle.. so i reinstalled windows again... I tried installing the driver different ways in windows.. nothing worked... I gave up...
BUT!!!
today while i was at work I decided I would try one last thing.
this is what got it going. I have SLI 8800ultras that covered the PCI slot on the bottom of my board and I though I would try the card in this slot to see if it worked there... so I disabled SLI took out my bottom card put in the sound card in the bottom slot, installed the driver... It installed 00% no crash... even better it worked after the restart!!!... so then I had to test if it worked in the top slot so I powered down, moved it up to my top PCI slot and windows auto set the driver for it (as it was already installed) It worked in the top slot now... Finally I put in the second 8800 to make sure it worked with this slot in use... It still worked fine with SLI enabled. because I was unhappy with the mess I made installing drivers all the time as I did with the many crashes I decided to do a fresh install of windows making this card work from the start so here is what you need to do if you have a 680i board with SLI. this is exactly what i did with my fresh install.
install only one GPU card..
Put the X-FI in a different slot that isn't giving you problems
Install windows
Install service pack 2
install your chipset drivers
install sound card drivers
power down, change sound card to permanent slot
test - power down
put in the second GPU card
install GPU drivers
Good luck you all having this problem.. I hope my solution helps you.

I think I?got a similar?problem earlier today when I was messing around with?onboard audio?that I later removed and after unplugging a?USB headset.
Have you checked the device manager, is there any higlighted hardware that has a exclamation mark next to it.
I fixed the issue by simply uninstalling the WDM device with the exclamation mark and restarted.

File in wrong drive.

location of file is on wrong drive. Says F drive, but really on C after downloading. Then it says missing file and then I cannot reconnect.

Have you gotten into Computer/Manage/Disk Management to explore the drives set up fuller?
I have 64 bit Windows 7 and 8.1 computers, no Windows 32 bit. But, I am assuming that the route to the Disk Management is the same as I have indicated. What exactly is the problem when you go to access the drives information in Disk Management. No response to clicking on Disk Management to open the view or something else?
Let us back up a bit....
1. Before connecting camera to computer, you go to Computer and view the computer's drives there - what do you see - under Hard Disk Drives and Devices with Removable Storage? Just C and F? After you make a USB connection between the camera and the computer, what do you see in Computer for the drives C and F or C, F, and something else?
Details....
The camera is connected to the computer and to that Photo Downloader dialog via a USB connection.
When you do that, the camera folder should be represented as a removable disc in Computer with a Windows determined/assigned drive
letter. And, if you use the Premiere Elements/....../Photo Downloader dialog route, that drive letter should be available to you in the Source field of
the Photo Downloader dialog.
What I am suspecting is the following - when you made the camera computer USB connection, Windows gave the letter F to that Camera Folder and bumped it off the mirrored F drive, perhaps giving it another letter.
So please let us get into Disk Management. What goes unexplained with this theory is how you can save the import to F drive if the Save In of the Photo Downloader is set to a C location.
We will be watching for your reply.

HT1473 Copy music from CDs to iTunes library without a CD drive

I have a Macbook without a CD drive (purchased in winter 2012-13); my husband has a Mac desktop (few years old). I'd like to copy some music from CDs to my iTunes library for listening on my iPhone (4S) and Mac (and, perhaps, one day, iPad). My husband says that if we insert one of the CDs into his Mac and copy/import it, it will only go into HIS iTunes library. If that's so, how can I get the music from his library into my Macbook.
If that's not so, how do we specify where the copied files should go so that I can access them? I'm not totally Apple-savvy, so please bear with me on this!?

Import them into his computer, then copy them from his iTunes Music folder to your computer via Home Sharing - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 - (probably the easiest), file sharing, or an external storage device such as a USB flash drive or external hard drive. If you use any method other than Home Sharing, just drag the tracks into the iTunes window on your computer.
You posted in the iTunes for Windows forum, by the way. Just FYI for future questions.
Regards.

IMac G4: How to re-format without a CD Drive?

I have had an old iMac for years and it's bee gathering dust. I would like to wipe the hard drive and restore Tiger to factory settings but the disc drive inside will not read. Is there a way to re-format and re-install without the need for the discs?
Cheers!
Eóin

Maybe, if you have another Mac, and it has a working optical drive, and it has a FireWire port. You may be able to do it using FireWire Target Disk Mode (FTDM)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
There are two way this might work...
(1) The better way would be to start up the OTHER Mac in FTDM and connect it to the iMac G4 with a FireWire cable. Insert the Tiger installation disc in the other Mac. Start up the iMac G4 with the Option key held down to go to the Startup Manager screen. If the Tiger installation disc is available on that screen, select it and continue startup. On the Installer screen, you can run the installation onto the iMac's hard drive. If necessary, you can run Disk Utility from the Utilities menu (in Installer) to erase the hard drive first. Make sure you are erasing the iMac G4's hard drive, not the other Mac's hard drive!
Note: Depending on the Mac being used in FTDM, the optical drive may or may not be available on the "host" Mac.
(2) The other way will NOT work, if the OTHER Mac is a newer Intel Mac. If it's a PowerPC Mac (that can run Tiger), it should work. Start up the iMac G4 in FTDM. Connect it to the other Mac started up normally, and confirm that the iMac G4's hard drive volume appears on the other Mac's Desktop. If necessary, you can use Disk Utility to erase the iMac's hard drive. Insert the Tiger installation disc in the other Mac and have it restart from the optical drive. When you get to Installer, target the iMac G4's hard drive for the installation. MAKE SURE you are NOT targeting the other Mac's hard drive for the installation! This method is a bit less desirable, because the Mac that will use the system is not performing the installation. But I have done it before with Tiger, and it has worked. Mac OS X Tiger systems seem "universal" between Macs that are PowerPC, but NOT between a Intel Mac and PowerPC Mac.

Windows Device Manager shows several driver problems

I have the latest EFI Firmware update and Boot Camp 1.1.1. Windows XP Pro SP2 shows problems in the Device Manager.
(1) What's the USB Human Interface problem? I have no funny USB devices connected.
(2) What's with the yellow question mark at Base System Device?
(3) I have four PCI Express ports flagged with problems.
I'm guessing that the Boot Camp Driver CD has omitted to provide for these devices. I am surmising that many others who have the Mac Pro also see these problems.
Is there any way of dealing with these and fixing the problems? Like, can I download the required drivers from Intel? I have already downloaded and installed INF Update Utility [INFINST_AUTO.EXE] version 2.11.15.0. This was no help in resolving the problem.

I too have had issue with Bluetooth keyboard, specifically the Apple keyboard. It seems to be running ok at the moment but it took me a while for it to pair properly. I still have no idea as to what I did differently that made it work. I think it was pairing them without a code.
Fortunately for me I use Parallels mostly as it's far more convenient so I'm not too bothered about Boot Camp driver support at this moment. When it comes time to play some games though that'll probably change.
The thing with Boot Camp is to be a little patient. Yes we'd like Apple to have sorted everything out a month ago although the software is still in beta form and does not need to be finalised until the realese of Leopard. Hopefully they will get things together sooner rather than later given the clock is ticking.

Wrong driver?

Appears my ipod 4 touch has picked up the wrong driver. It now likes MTP USB driver. Ipod shows up as a hard drive mobile device in win 7 explorer, but nothing in Itunes.
i have tried three times to uninstall itunes and and ipod and it still picks up this old driver from 2006.
Did the itunes diagnostic it only says it cant communicate.
How can i get the right driver to be installed?

Did y try this:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Next see the driver/service topic of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

T430s, device without driver, wrong driver selection or other problem
