USB 3.0 won't work on Pavilion P6-2330

The 3.0 USB ports on my windows 8 Pavilion P6-2330 desk top have stopped working. I tried unistalling but the intaller can not find the drivers.
I am getting a code 28, and locaton: on AMD USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 0096 (Microsoft) when I go to the devise list.
The USB ports are now showing up as unknown devices.
Can you help me get the right drivers?
Thanks.

Install the graphics driver softpaq again. It has all of the chipset drivers. If this does not work, then you have a motherboard with dead usb ports. There is a workaround, as always. There are usb 3.0 PCI Express x1 adapters available for sale at most stores that sell PC devices. You simply connect them to an available PCI Express x1 slot and then boot up your desktop. That should resturn usb 3.0 ports to you desktop.
Take a look at NewEgg.com to see what I mean.

USB optical mouse won't work in PS/2 port

I have a lenovo USB optical wheel mouse that I want to plug into the PS/2 mouse port (I need to free up the USB port for something else). I have a green USB to PS/2 adaptor that works fine with a borrowed logitech USB mouse and also works fine with a microsoft USB mouse. Any ideas why it won't work with a lenovo (or IBM) USB mouse?
My system is a ThinkCentre M51 type 1843-wnv running win xp pro. Have 2.5 GB DDR RAM and an ATI Radeon 4550 in the PCIe 2 slot. HDD is a WD Caviar Black 500 GB with 32 cache.
Thanks!

> Any ideas why it won't work with a lenovo (or IBM) USB mouse?
No, however, I've encountered similar issues with mice and keyboards using USB -> PS/2 adapters.
I'd suggest another solution: A simple USB hub. No external power is necessary for mice and keyboards so you can use whatever hub is least expensive. A hub will also provide you with extra USB ports that you can use with other devices. You can never be too rich or too thin or have too many USB ports

Usb 1.0 won't work - need help urgently

Happy holidays and hope Santa is working overtime
Got iPod nano for my son and mrs. and can't get them to work properly. Long time mac users, G3 iBook at home (mac 10.3.9), g4 iMac at office but neither have usb 2.0 as older machinese.
For some reason, even after downloading 7.5 iTunes, when we connect new nano with usb connector supplied in box, only get that apple icon popping up; can't connect for some reason, can't see nano on desktop.
Tried it with old Sony Vaio, running WinXP but a gain older model, no usb 2 and only usb 1 ports. Can't read there either.
Funny, when I plug with my old 3rd gen iPod charger, using firewire with common plug, it's charging fine.
Can someone explain if it's the usb port that's a problem? Mrs. leaving to visit mother for few weeks early tomorrow morning and I have appointment with genius bar at 10 am - but too late to help her.

Yep, on my iBook, got message finally that needed 10.4.8.
Re-tried with WinXp (not sure if SP2) and got it connected, trying to rip some CD to sync and completed about 5 cd. After ejecting nano, couldn't get it to 'turn-on' which is weird - so i'm leaving it connected to pc to charge (instructions say 3 hrs).
My suspicion is this is a lemon.
Btw, can i charge this generation nano with the 'traditional' firewire charger that came with my old iPod (3rd gen)? If we do get it to work, my wife won't have pc to charge with when traveling and I'd like to give her my charger to take along?
Thanks,

USB Memory Stick won't work on my Dual Core Intel Mac...

Just bought a 4gb memory stick a few days ago - it doesn't seem to like my Dual Core Intel Tower at all. I am plugging it into the USB slot at the front and trying to copy a load of files onto it.
It's got around 1gb on it now and I can't seem to copy another single file onto it. I was copying folders of files, but just trying to copy a single file the finder seems to hang and I can't cancel the copy process - I have to hold the power on button to regain control of my Mac - is this normal??
The stick works perfectly on a PC...
Disk Utility reports no problems, and reformats OK.

Be sure that the memory device is not NTFS formatted. You need to use FAT32 else MacOS Extended for it to work.

USB 3.0 won't work in Vista 32 bit.

I have an MSI Z77A-GD65 motherboard in a system that dual boots into either Win 7 64bit or Vista 32bit. None of the USB 3.0 ports work in Vista, but they work in W7. I assumed that this was a driver problem, but I cannot find any USB 3.0 drivers for Vista. I downloaded the W7 32 bit drivers, but when I tried to install them I got an error message that my OS was not supported.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Hi,
That's an issue that Win Vista is not really supported by anything since it's very bad OS (sorry I am being honest). The only place you might find correct USB drivers is MSI themself as I couldn't find the right ones:

I have the latest mac desktop op mountain lion,plugged in the canon pixma ip90v and get a message drawing too much power from usb and it won't work?

I cannot get the canon pixma ip90v to work with the computer.I get a message about drawing too much power from the usb.

You need to plug in the power cord that was included with the printer and then use it with USB, or use the power cord included with the printer and access it wirelessly from your iMac. I access my Canon MP560 wirelessly from my iMac, which works well.

USB 3.0 ports not working in Pavilion G6 2144tx

I purchased my G6 in April of last year and connected up my external hard drive (which does have USB 3.0 support) to it. For the first couple of months, it worked perfectly. Though around September of last year it encountered a problem wherein the laptop itself wouldn't start. Upon handing it over to the HP service centre in my country, they said it was a motherboard issue.
After getting it back, my hard drive no longer responds when connected to any one of the two USB 3.0 ports available, but works fine when connected to the USB 2.0 port and even when connected to the USB 2.0 hub that I have attached to that port.
I have tried updating my USB drivers and after clicking "scan for hardware changes" it finds a device that needs a new driver. Upon trying to install the new driver, however, it encounters an error. It records the device as "Unknown Device" and places it under "Other Devices".
Here is a screenshot of what I described above:
I don't know what else I can do to resolve this. If it is a driver issue, I would appreciate it if you could direct me to the correct driver that I can use to fix this issue. I am currently experiencing very slow copy speeds between my computer and external drive (around 500KB/s to 2MB/s) and would very much like to go back to using my USB 3.0 port.
Thanks in advance for all the help.
Regards
Umar

Thank you for your response. I am tempted to believe a driver conflict is at fault, especially since Device Manager shows an unknown device. I believe you should commence troubleshooting by installing the correct drivers, based on the computer's current specifications. For more information on how to do this, please reference this HP document: Downloading or Updating Software and Drivers for HP Computers
If you are unable to resolve the issue, I would personally contact HP Phone Support. Since this defect occurred after the computer returned from servicing, they are responsible for it, and they will address the issue. However, this is assuming you are in warranty. If you do not have this information, you can locate it at this website: HP Warranty Check
You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I'm only here to help!

USB-CDMA Modem won´t work after shut dowen by my PB

I´m using a VTION V1810 CDMA modem to connect to the Internet when travelling.
Works fine, only after the connection is shut down by either the PB or due to inactivity timeout after 30 min, I can not connect anymore.
I tried several procedures like connecting to another USB port, setting up a new connection and so on.
Just after some time if the device is not plugged in, I get lucky and it connects again as if there was no rain in this world...
Any ideas?
I already learnt that I always have to connect it to the same USB port, and that it is luck if it works over a hub.

Sorry, I was not clear enough. The modem had a problem that involved it not hanging up. I wondered if there might be a similar process that was occurring with the CDMA modem.
With the CDMA modem I use, there was no script/driver but I connect using the "null modem 115200" setting (in modems). I see there are a few other modem settings in there.
As a point, have you updated the OS recently? Sometimes this will mean that a driver does not integrate properly and we would have to wait until the maker updates the driver too. It might be worth your while to try the other settings.

Since installing Lion, my usb audio interface won't work.

Its an Icon cube-mini. The software installs, but says no device connected?

thx a brody, I apprecate your reply. Tho, that is only part of the issue. I did as you advised & installed a version of Firefox dedicated for intel CPU...now my icon looks perfect. However...I still have the same issue. ONLY the menu bar shows up for both firefox and google chrome (chrome never had the circle/line issue that firefox did).
The main issue is that the 2 browsers, besides Safari, worked for several days to 2 weeks on lion. Now when i click the icon for either, the menu bar is the only thing that shows up. I can select anything in the menu bar - my bookmarks even show in the bookmark menu, but don't go anywhere when selected. No browser page no matter what I do.

Peripherals won't work with Yosemite

I switched to Yosemite in autumn 2014 and it worked. Since I moved house and reassembled my Mac Pro and all its peripherals I've had problems. Both of my Apple USB keyboards now won't work. They each have the same problem - when plugged in they show the cap locks green light but nothing else. My Logitech wireless mouse no longer works, yet the Mighty Mouse does. Most frustratingly, my WD Passport external hard drive with my Time Machine on it, is no longer recognised. I have searched the Internet and there seem to be literally hundreds of people who are suffering a variety of frustrations from Yosemite. I've tried a few of the 'solutions' based on the 'turn it off and turn it back on again' theme, all to no avail. Having bought Macs since the early 1990s, I've always championed their simplicity and reliability. My patience is being sorely tested by Yosemite. A cheap PC with the new Windows operating system is beginning to look like an attractive alternative, especially now that Yosemite is looking like Apple's version of "Vista".
Any helpful ideas would be very welcome.

Please post in the Yosemite support forum for issues with Yosemite. The link is here.......OS X Yosemite

New iPod touch 5th generation charger won't work with computers or USB power adapter?

I just got this charger less than two weeks ago and just yesterday it started saying "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work on this iPod." It will only work on some occasions, but most of the time it won't. Other times it will show that it is charging, but when I select to "Trust" my computer it stops charging. When I plug it into the USB power adapter, it rarely works (even when I try it in different outlets.) Any way to solve this issue?

If a non-Apple cable and the place will not take it back then:

USB ports won't work

Hi, I recently bought a Probook 4441s-445TX. I installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on it but I couldn't get my 2 USB ports on the right side of my laptop to work. I looked into this and it seems like HP Probooks series have similar issue as well. The USB ports on the right (USB 2.0) don't work at all, they won't recognize any devices nor they can recharge any devices via USB cable.
Any suggestion? Am I missing a driver here (I checked Device Manager and it says I miss one driver but it's unknown device with Hardware ID "ACPI/HPQ6000" which I still couldn't find the driver for it, btw, but I don't think it has anything to do with the USB ports.

Hi:
If the notebook is still under warranty, it is time for you to call HP technical support.
Good luck,
Paul

I'm not able to copy and paste files from my mac to hard disk and usb. I have tried dragging the items to those devices but it won't work. I also have tried copying and pasting those files onto those devices but that doesn't work too. Can any one help?

Hi BobRz
Thanks for you suggestion but it didn't work - are there other ways for solving this problem? Or is it because my files that I want to copy and paste onto my hard disk etc are too big? (However there is space on my hard disk and it works on a PC)

USB 3.0 Hub won't work in 3.0 mode

I have a Portege Z835-P372 and my USB 3.0 Hub (StarTech 2 port hub) won't work in 3.0 mode.
When I purchased the StarTech.com hub, it came with no instructions or CD (with drivers, etc). Their website also has no driversor firmware updates for the hub (As I understand, the hub itself doesn't need any drivers).
When I connected it to my computer the first time it installed it as a Renesas Electronics 2.0 hub. It thus always works only in 2.0 mode.
As I understand I probably need the latest NEC/Renesas drivers and firmware updates, these I have downloaded from the Toshiba driver site, but still no luck.
I did some research and found that the drivers on the Toshiba site are old and there are newer ones out there (but from other sites that I had to register and pay for). Are they available elsewhere?
I did some more research into similar problems people are having out there and there were comments that the Intel USB 3.0 Driver also has to be updated.
Any suggestions?

hey RagingPigeon,
try uninstalling all USB control drivers from your unit and then install this :
