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.

Is my notebook in the warranty period? No (three months out)
Is the originally installed OS still installed (Yes)
Have I changed the partitions (NO)
Thanks for any help

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.

Microphone and Webcam not working/Webcam not recognized by YouCam

Hello,
I have a dv7-6c95dx and my YouCam program tells me that it does not recognize my integrated webcam. I have read all of the webcam forums on this site and clicked on all of the links people have posted in the forums. I have uninstalled the CyberLink YouCam program and it still comes up with the same messages. The webcam also does not show up in my device manager. The microphone is malfunction as well, it will not work any any programs including skype.
I have heard that the webcam can come unplugged internally, will that also cause the microphone to stop working? I have run out of options and I do not want to pay anyone to fix it. I would appreciate any advice on this subject.

Hi DillOrNoDill,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx Notebook and sound and microphone issues and Webcam not working correctly. I would be happy to assist if needed. Try these steps first.
1. Right click speaker icon (right hand corner)
2. Select Playback devices
3. Right click Speakers
4. Enable it and set as Default
5. Click Apply/Ok
You could also try Microsoft troubleshooter located on your Notebook.
Here is a document on WebCam troubleshooting. The Webcam will be listed in your device manager under Imaging devices. You should be able to click the action button and scan for new hardware.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

USB mouse and keyboard not working

Any advice/thoughts/suggestions appreciated:
All 3 USB ports at the back of my iMac have stopped working. This means I can't use either a keyboard or mouse, so have no way of logging in. I turn my iMac on, it boots up as usual, but when it gets to the login screen, the mouse and keyboard don't work and I get a message about bluetooth set-up. (Both my mouse and keyboard are wired, not bluetooth).
I have tried an SMC reset (by turning the iMac off, unplugging all USB devices and the power cable, leaving the iMac for a few minutes and then plugging the cable back in a turning it on again). This didn't work.
I've also tried a different version of the SMC reset where I hold down the power button whilst all the cables are unplugged and also as I plug the power cable back in. After doing this, the fan turns on at full speed (v loud), but the mouse and keyboard still don't work.
I've also checked my mouse on a different computer and it works fine.
Has anyone got any other suggestions / workarounds?
Note I can't do a PRAM reset because my keyboard doesn't work.
Is it probably that the USB hardwear has failed? If so, is it possible to repair this? It is worth repairing given it is a 5/6 year old iMac (the white plastic one) which is probably on its last legs anyway?
many thanks!
Jez.

Try the SMC reset again, only this time wait 5 minutes in set 3 instead of fifteen seconds.
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
3. Wait fifteen seconds. 5 minutes.
4. Attach the computer's power cord.
5. Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.

DV9910US Audio and webcam not working.

Hello, I have worked for over a month on trying to restore a HP DV9910us. I even ordered the recovery CD from HP. I can not get the audio working or the webcam working. I have done extensive research online and tried every solution I found. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Hello robc1042. I understand you're having some issues getting your audio and webcam to work.
You said that you've tried numerous solutions. Would you mind giving a quick list of the sorts of solutions you have tried? This will be helpful as I wouldn't want to suggest solutions you've already attempted.
You may even want to take a look at this thread. I posted this a little while back but it covers the solutions for a webcam not being detected. You may find it helpful.
To begin I would like to see if either the webcam or sound card is listed in Device Manager. Try the following.
Click Start, type "Device Manager," and press Enter.
Expand the "Imaging Devices," "Sound, video, and game controllers," and "Other Devices" sections.
List what you see.
I will await your reply. I hope you have a great day!
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

TX2000 USB Ports, Digitizer and Webcam not working (several people have save problem)

OK folks this is an old problem that was posted on the old TX/TM board:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/TX-TM-Series-Notebooks-Reply/tx2000-usb-ports-digitizer-webcam-all-not-...
Several of us have had these ports/hardware fail.
****IT IS NOT A BLACK SCREEN FAILURE******
In my case, the motherboard has very low hours after replacement, full system reinstall, all drivers up to date. If you take the time to read all three pages, you will see that many of us have tried everything that anyone suggested. Most of us still believe that this is a software issue as opposed to a hardware issue.
Not much hope for a soulution, but thought I would try this board since the TX/TM board is now reply only and probably has a very low visit rate.
Jim

I also am not able to use the pen and touch features after doing a recovery manager to factory spec, everything else is good but like the others when trying to open Tablet Properties it gives the message a supported tablet was not found on the system, also after updating the digitizer from hp the version does not change it's still 6.1.6002.18005 when it's supposed to be 5.05-5_HP5 Rev.A.
I've unblocked the download in properties ran it as administrator,uninstalled the old driver, my USB works my Quick launch buttons work, the screen rotates, the bios is updated. ran HP Update it finds two updates -a HP update software utility and a critical update HP Photosmart and then nothing else when there are many many more at the software and driver page for the TX2000
Is HP being silent due to the class action lawsuit? Was that a perk that hp got for settling, that they no longer have to address any issue with this Tx2000 series?
As so many have wrote before...... NEVER AGAIN HP!

USB warning and ports not working after update to Snow Leopard from Tiger

I've gone for hours through all kinds of forums without finding a proper answer, so here I am.
This morning I've installed OS Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on my iMac, previously I had OS Tiger 10.4.11 running. Everything seemed fine until I restarted and then I started getting "USB drawing too much power" promps all over the place even though the only thing that's attached to the iMac is the keyboard and the mouse (they both work fine). The process went like this:
The iMac is a 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo from october 2007
First I did an upgrade of my RAM, from 1GB to 2GB, that went ok.
Then I runned the install dvd for Snow Leopard, I did not perform a clean install, just did it over my old data. After restart, everything worked but i got this USB warning message, one of them. At that point my usb's still worked, (even though the warning) I could print and scan. To get rid of the warning, i resetted the PRAM and SMC, as suggested everywhere. After doing so, the promps multiplied and my usb ports ceased working, except for the keyboard and the mouse attached to it.
I've done the Apple Hardware Test, and it gives no malfunctions.
Firewire works fine, Isight buildt-in camera and bluetooth too.
I've tried all usb's and the keyboard will work in all of them, not like my printer and scanner which are completely ignored.
USB power warning also appears at restart with no deviced connected (no keyboard and mouse, i've tried).
I've also found in many forum entries the possibility of a problem on the logic board, but since i've never had a problem with my imac until today i would not be sure about a hardware malfunction.
The last thing i've found around that could be a clue is something about the kernel extensions, but that's complete chinese for me, I'm a mac plug&play user and not too much of a mac expert.
Does anybody have an idea about what could be going on? Should I perform a clean install of snow leopard? Would that solve the problem?
Many thanks in advance to the community for the help, I'm quite lost since I've owned macs for the last 15 years and this is the first problem I have with one.

I think it's serious, but if it didn't do it booted from Install Disc then Software is highly suspect.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
Did we get the warning in Safe Mode?

Why with last update of mevericks usb ports and xcode not works ?

yesterday i install the last update of maverick and now i cant use the time machine, usb key and xcode
do you have a solution for that ?

Just waking this thread up again in case anyone has had any other ideas.
Since last posting, usb became functional again, (came back on a couple of hours after a restart) and as long as I kept the machine alive, usb would stay alive. Bluetooth came back on briefly, but for most of the time was unavailable. System profiler shows no problems and Console does not report any usb related errors as far as I can see.
After a recent restart, usb disappeared again, and despite numerous restarts and being left on for a couple of days (and subsequently left off for several days) it has not come back. When usb is not working, examining the system profiler (through screen sharing from my macbook) usb shows no errors, but also shows no connected devices. I can charge my ipod nano with any of the usb ports (front or back), so power does not seem to be the issue.
I can't reset pRAM (because the keyboard is not available at boot), but have reset SMC numerous times. Have tried other keyboards, and mice. No joy.
I seem to have run out of ideas. Any suggestions?

Microphone and webcam not working on Yoga S1 after windows 10 update

I have to admit I never tried the webcam since I got my Yoga which had win 8.1 originally installed on it, but with the update to windows 10, I'm trying more things out. I did install the camera driver from http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-yoga-series-laptops/thinkpad-yoga?c=1 but no luck.I dont even see any kind of camera in device manager. The camera app just says "something is wrong" amd closes. I tried Skype and it also could not detect a working webcam. After installing windows 10, I did try Cortina and it had me go into microphone setup and it was working. However after subsequent updates, it no longer works. The micropphone levels are ll the way 100%, but when I try to setup the mic, I never see the level meters move when trying the speech test dictation,. Ive installed the Conexant drivers in the the above link, and also uninstalled them and tried to go back to what are the default microsoft drivers, neither seem to wor

Hey 22d05da3,
Hey I see that you're having an issue with the webcam and microphone.
This could be a hardware issue knowing both of these features are in the same module
But first,
Can you go to device manager then go under the section that says imaging devices and tell me if the webcam shows up under there. Also, check and see if there's any type of exclamation mark next to it.
Next, Go to the sound controllers section also and let me know if you can see the microphone underneath that.
Now, these two don't have drivers to install from the website. What you can do is uninstall these drivers from the device manager then restart your Notebook. It should install the drivers after you restart.
Also, if this doesn't work you can do a driver recover from the software. Here is a document to show you how to do that.
http://goo.gl/XjqLp
Go down to the section that says "Reinstall the original webcam program that came with your computer".
If any other issues come up before this like you can't find the drivers in the device manager. Go to the section on that document that says " Webcam is not listed in the device manager ".

Mac Pro USB ports and bluetooth not working

I have a Mac Pro (early 2008) Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 2.8 GHz, 4GB ram, Airport card, Magic Mouse. Suddenly the keyboard and wired/bluetooth Mouse are unavailable, so it is not possible to control the computer. The only way I can use it is by using Screen Sharing from my MacBook Pro - which is obviously pretty useless except for diagnostics! All the USB ports (front and back, as well as those on the Cinema Display - when connected) are dead. System profiler shows no problem with them, but also shows nothing connected. Bluetooth in menu bar shows as "Bluetooth: not available", and in system profiler shows as "No information found".
I've tried all the usual remedies. Powering off overnight with power cord disconnected, all peripherals disconnected, then booting up again. Holding in the power button for ten seconds when the power cord is disconnected. Obviously I can't reset the pRAM (because the keyboard is not recognised, even before the OS loads). The first couple of times I tried this process, it did bring back the USB ports, even the bluetooth became temporarily available, but soon disappeared again. USB ports died next time I rebooted.
However, in the last couple of days, the process produces no results. No matter how long I leave it disconnected, USB ports are not working and bluetooth is just not there...
I've checked for other threads on this topic, but most other people seem to have issues with either front or back USB ports, or even just one or more individual ports. My problems have only been with all ports or none.
Does anyone have any suggestions to get my MacPro up and running again properly?

Having issues with working USB devices, but only some...??? Very confused. Here it is:
- 20gig ipod, ipod mini all recognized by apple system profiler and working (shows up on desktop) Through USB and firewire
- Canon Rebel XT (USB 2.0), Macally mouse(USB 1.0), RECOGNIZED in apple system profiler...but not working!!! Iphoto doesn't recognize a camera is connected and mouse not responding
The camera in mouse i tested in another mac and they are working.
If my logic board is cooked, then why would the ipods still work?? So, what is the problem???? PLEASE HELP
luc

Luke, many of the peripials such as cameras, printers, scanners, some will plug right in and work.
Others, need to plugged in and restart your computer,for them to work.
and last but not least some need there own drivers to operate correctly.
Those that need drivers normally come with an insallation CD for this purpose... Cheers...Don
