USB 3.0 driver not working

Laptop
HP Pavilion dv6-6140us
OS
Widnows 7 64-bit
I wipe my hard disk and loaded stock windows 7, downloaded all the drivers from HP and my USB 3.0 ports still wont work. In the device manager I can see them under other devices listed as Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controler, tried installing the drivers multiple times but windows still says it can't find a driver for the device. I am sure it is the 3.0 ports because those are the ones that do not work on my laptop. This is very frustrating. They worked before on HPs pre install of 7 and they work under Ubuntu 11.10, I can't understand for the life of me why they won't work now.

Why doesn't my new usb drive show as a usable drive?

Seagate Backup Plus Slim External USB 3 Hard Drive Not Working with Mac Pro

Hi, I have just purchased a brand new Mac Pro. I have three 2 TB Seagate Backup Plus Slim External USB 3 hard drives that just don't jive with the new Mac Pro's. When the drive is connected, I cannot access the drive, read/write or even format. Finder completely locks up and the drive cannot even be force ejected. When I try to format, Disk Utility either spits out an error that the drive cannot be read, or simply locks up. This happens regardless of the OS on the Mac Pro. I am currently running 10.10.2
I have ruled out an issues with the drives, as I have tested all of them on a variety of systems and OS's, including Power Mac, Mac Book Pro, PC, OS 10.7, 10.8, 10.9 as well as on Windows. I have tried formatting in every file system including Mac OS Extended, Mac OS Extended (Journaled), NTFS and exFAT. ALL other systems have no issues with the drives. Apple has replaced my Mac Pro with a brand new one and the drives still behave the same way. Furthermore, I have tested the drives on three other Mac Pro's at work and they all reject the drives. So, on their own, there is nothing wrong with the Mac Pro, or the drives. However, the configuration of them together is wreaking havoc.
I have contacted Seagate, and this was their response:
The most recent version of the Backup Plus drives use the USB Attached SCSI (UAS) standard to increase transfer rates. It's possible that the drivers being used currently on your Mac Pro are having issues using this feature with the standard USB 3.0 drivers installed. I would recommend contacting Apple to check for any driver updates or see if they any suggestions for issues involving drives using UAS.
I have also started a case with Apple Support (Case # 755934373) and am waiting to hear back regarding Seagate's response. I've spent DAYS trying to troubleshoot this and am now at a complete loss. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears (or eyes in this case).
Thanks!

Hi danielsh6,
I recently bought the new Lacie Thunderbolt 2 D2 3TB and I had the same problem as you, i have a macbook pro early 2011, those support thunderbolt but many times there is a bug that doesn't let you connect any thunderbolt drives to your computer. The solution I found was installing this update:
Thunderbolt Firmware Update v1.0
Before doing this I would recommend you updating to mountain lion (not yosemite yet as there is still some glitches and more on preview's macbook pro's).
Hope this helped!

Iomega eGo 2TB USB/Firewire 800 drive not working with Time Machine.

The drive I had for Time Machine died and I replaced it with an iomega eGo 2 TB USB/Firewire 800 drive. Time Machine finds it and backs up the disk when I first boot up but then it seems like the drive goes off line. At that point, when Time Machine tires to back up it can't get the drive to respond and my system hangs. To fix that, I turn off the iomega that fixes the hang up and I get the disconnect without ejecting warning.
I ran disk utility and disk warrior. Both apps reported the disk is fine.
Can any tell me what's up? I'm running OS X 10.7.2
Thanks.

I am having this exact same error with my new iMac 21.5" connected to a brand new Iomega eGo 2 TB Desktop Firewire 800 External Hard Drive (Mac Edition - 34796).
The TimeMachine backup works fine, but as soon as the iMac goes to sleep and wakes back up, TimeMachine doesn't respond well to any commands and all sorts of errors appear on the screen.
I will try the tip here from Kappy and report back later if this works for me.
Kappy, one thing to note is that I'm using the Firewire connection from the iMac to the eGo and experiencing this problem. The eGo has its own power supply too.

Usb composite device is an older usb device and might not work in USB 3

I recently bought one Lenovo Yoga 2 11 laptop running Windows 8.1 (64 bit).
When I try to connect my old Brother MFC-3240C printer using USB (2.0), it doesn’t work.
Below are the steps performed:
Connected the printer to USB 2.0 port on laptop (on the right side). Automatically installed the printer driver (no exclamation mark beside printer icon)
When the printer didn’t print, I tried to use troubleshoot as below:
Control Panel->Hardware and Sound->Devices and Printers->Right Click on Printer Icon->Troubleshoot.
It came up with USB composite device is an older usb device and might not work in USB 3.0
Removed the printer and re-installed the driver. It is all the same.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
FYI – the same printer works fine with my older laptops running Windows 7.

Already checked Brothers website for the printer drivre for Windows 8.1 (64 bit).
It says ... The built-in driver is already included with Windows® Operating System or is available through Windows® update.
So, installed the default driver for the printer that is available with Windows 8.1.
Even connected the printer with USB 3.0 port on the laptop, but it is all the same.

Server 2012 USB 3.0 Drive Not Recognized

Hello,
This is my setup:
Dell Server running ESXI 5.5 (with all updates to get the USB 3.0 card driver to start and recognize)
USB Card is Renesas based
Guest: Server 2012 Standard (NOT R2)
I am trying to get a USB 3.0 drive to work with this setup. On the guest I see the "Standard USB eXtensible Host Controller - 0096 (Microsoft)" and it is installed and appears working properly. The light on the USB drive now lights
up.
My issue is in the Storage controllers, I have: "USB Attached SCSI (UAS) Mass Storage Device" and it is yellowed out. I get an (Code 10) error This device cannot start. Is there a driver I am missing?
If someone out there could please give me some assistance on getting this working I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi,
Please try to remove and reinstall all USB controllers to check if it could resolve the issue. You could also refer to the article below to troubleshoot the issue.

Help please-USB 2.0 drive only working at USB 1.1 speed (KT3 Ultra2-C, MS-6593)

Help! I have an MSI KT3 Ultra2-C, part no. MS-6593, running WinXP Home. According to the manual it has six USB 2.0 ports, but I can't get a USB 2.0 external hard drive working at USB 2.0 speed. The drive is currently connected using the "D-Bracket 2" which the manual says supports USB 2.0. In my BIOS all USB ports are set to enabled.
The drive was detected by Windows XP, but when it installed I got a warning that it is not connected to a full speed USB port. The drive is only transferring about one megabyte per second of data, which I'm guessing means it's running at USB 1.1. When I use Sisoft Sandra to look at my port information, it lists "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller" and then three listings for "Via Rev 5 or Later USB Universal Host Controller". All of my USB devices including the new drive are shown mapped to the "Via Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller" so the "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Controller" shows no devices connected. Even though all my USB ports are physically filled, they are all mapping to the "Via Rev 5" controller, which I think is a USB 1.1 controller. This makes me think if I can somehow force these devices onto the Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller, they will work at USB 2.0 speed? How can I make devices use the right USB 2.0 controller instead of the Via USB 1.1 Controller?
Windows Device Manager looks kind of strange, under USB Controllers it first lists the "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller". Then it lists my USB cable modem, USB printer, and USB hard drive on the following lines. Then it has several lines that say "USB Root Hub". Then it has three lines that say "Via Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller".
Please help me get this external hard drive running at full speed...I'm stumped and thought this USB stuff was all plug and play, and expected my USB 2.0 drive to work on this USB 2.0 motherboard. Thanks for any responses.

Go Here: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=357&kind=1 and download the Drivers and the Update. Then go into your device manager and click on the host controller of the USB devices and update driver, then select the drivers that you downloaded and restart your computer. once restarted go back into device manager and make sure that what was once "standard host" controller now shows "Enhanced USB 2.0" controller. Hope that helps.

USB devices and Webcam not working or installing on Pavilion Laptop

Hi there,
I have a HP Pavilion Dm3 1030 sa,
For a while now certain USB devices have just not worked on the laptop, specifically printers and mice, despite me reinstalling the drivers for those devices on the laptop. I tried the devices on other computers and they worked fine.
This was annoying but I put up with it.
Now the webcam and microphone have stopped working and are no longer recognised by the computer. I have reinstalled the webcam software but cannot find the drivers for it. The software (arc soft webcam) says the inbuilt webcam is not connected.
I have been able to get my iphone to connect via usb and usb drives work most of the time. I don't really know what is going on. When I look at devices that don't work in device manager It says that there is a USB I/O error. I have tried reinstalling the drivers using device manager but that didn't work either. Any advice would be appreciated. Not being able to use a mouse is annoying as track pads are slow.

In my macbook pro hdmi, usb & SD card reader not working

In my macbook pro hdmi, usb & sc card reader not working.
i have tried the SRM reset done, till not working started.
Could you please resolve this problem,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Simply take it to an Apple Store or reseller if it's in warranty. Your Mac will be repaired or replaced for free because it looks a hardware problem rather than a software issue.
If it's not in warranty, hold Command and R keys while your MacBook is starting up, and reinstall OS X. If it doesn't work, you can't do much more to solve the problem

Dvd drive not worked properly

i have hp pavilion dv4 series.my dvd drive not worked properly.for that purpose only i went 7 times in your service centre but they won't take action till now .why u people do like this .i want explation and just change my dvd drive that's all.

tcrite,
Sounds like a bad drive...I would get a replacement. According to Accelerate Your Mac database, it should work without issue.
Just enter the model number of the drive and select your Powerbook G3 2000, and you will see four reports on this model.

Are you connecting your iPhone directly to your PC or to a USB hub?

MacBook Pro Retina USB 2.0 devices not working in right side USB port

4 days ago I bought MacBook Pro Retina 15".
When I plug USB 2.0 device to right side USB port, it does not work. OSX does not recognize it, iPhone does not charge, and so.
When I plug the same USB 2.0 device to left side USB port, it works.
When I plug USB 3.0 device to left or right side USB ports, it works without a problem.
Does anyone have this same issue? How did you resolve it?

I have a similar issue with a 13" Retina. Both my ports work OK for most USB devices but the right one won't work with a USB external HD (Time Machine backup). Very consistant.
