USB Sync stopping Windows 7 upgrade

When I purchased my Compaq CQ5110F (Vista) it was just immediately before Windows 7 came out but my previous one crashed so I couldn't wait and was given a Windows 7 upgrade package. As Vista suited me and I've been working with it until now ok but decided to take the plunge and upgrade. I've done all of the updates, backups, whatever, and went to install just now and it's telling me that the HP USB Sync is stopping the upgrade, although when I printed out the whole 12 pages of the compatability report, that wasn't specifically mentioned. I had previously had an HP Ipaq which was syncd to the computer but I uninstalled it yesterday as I no longer use it. When I look in the Sync Center there is nothing in there and I can't find anything that just says USB Sync - so now I'm stuck with the upgrade, it won't go further and I don't know what to do - other than abandon the upgrade, can anyone help?  I'm off work at the moment so it seemed the ideal time to do this ...   Many thanks.

I've finally managed it and everything seems to be working well without removing any further things, and re-installing -with the exception of Quickbooks 2010.  I did get it to open but there was a constant box saying Windows was trying to configure QB but was failing.  I'm closing it down and see if it does the same thing tomorrow but am I correct in assuming I'll need to uninstall it - that always makes me nervous.
A further question nothing to do with tech things - when I first registered it said I was a guest, now it says I'm a student, I didn't put that in and don't see where I can change it in the profile??

  • USB-6509 Stops being recognized by Windows 7 device manager.

    I am currently using a USB-6509 under Windows 7.
    On a freshly formatted machine I have no trouble setting up the device using the National Insturments Measurement & Automation Software version 9.4.
    Some windows updates were pushed to the computer that my USB-6509 was connected to, causing the computer to reboot in the middle of use. When the machine came back up the USB device couldn't be found by the Measurement & Automation Software, nor by Windows Device Manager. I did a complete uninstall of the software and reinstalled, this did not fix the issue. I uninstalled 9.4 and installed 9.5 and this too has not resolved the issue. 
    Inside device manager windows will show "Static Digital Firmware Loader" under "Data Acquistion Devices". But there is nothing installed pointing to the USB-6509. 
    The green light on the back has yet to come back on. I would prefer not to reformat if at all possible. Any suggestions?

    I was having this exact issue.  "NI Device Loader" was running on the machine, but stopping and restarting this service by itself was what finally caused the device to start working again after lots of rebooting and other troubleshooting steps.  Thanks for the tip.

  • How to stop Windows from mounting a usb fat32 flash drive

      Here's the problem. I have 4 identical Sandisk Cruiser 32GB flash drives. Windows has never mounted these drives in the past, until several months ago. Now Windows is mounting 2 of these drives but not the other 2. When the drives get mounted I end
    up with about 5GB of files being added to each drive because they now show System Volume Information and the Recycle Bin. The amount of data added varies depending on the system I plug up to. On one Win 7 machine it can add up to 10+ GB. I would like to 
    be able to use the entire space for my backups but am unable to. These two drives are only used for Music and Videos. Is there a way to stop these two drives from being mounted in windows systems?
    Thanks,  Bill

    Sorry but my figures are not exaggerated. Right now on this machine "System Volume Information" is showing as 3.2 GB and "Recycle Bin" is showing as 2.9 GB.  I don't own these computers I use so I can't make changes to them such
    as emptying the recycle bin. I only use portable applications from my flash drives on friends systems. By windows loading these two folders to my flash drives it it effectively stopping me from being able to use all the space.
     Now as I mentioned in the first post, windows is only loading the SysVolInfo and recycle bin folders to 2 of the 4 drives. I am able to use ChkDsk on the two drives that are unaffected by windows but not on the other two. I get the message that windows
    can't check the volume while it is in use and would I like to check it at startup. This always fails because, I think, These computers do not recognize the usb drives until windows is loaded. I have a work around for this in a utility that will unmount the
    two drives and run ChkDsk and then remount them.
     This doesn't answer the question though as to why all of a sudden this is happening to 2 of the 4 drives? And on several different machines? Windows does assign a drive letter to all 4 drives as it always has however the 2 drives without the system
    folders are able to be scanned in windows without unmounting them.
     I would really appreciate any insight into this behavior I could get.
    Thanks, Bill

  • FM Transmitter used to work fine but stopped working, bought 2 new ones and neither work, they work with other Ipods in the house, IPOD Usb syncs fine with Computer, why won't it work with the FM transmitters anymore?

    Are the other iPods models, same version as yours. The 2 New FM Tx may need a new iPod software, which you can update via iTunes.

  • Work Folders on Windows 7 - Error Sync Stopped Can't Encrypt Files

    Hello All-
      We are getting ready to roll out Work Folders.  It is working all fine on Windows 8.1 devices and am not trying to get it to work on Windows 7 SP1 devices.  The Work Folders client for Win7 installs fine and I can configure it, however,
    immediately after configuring work folders it displays an error stating that "Sync Stopped.  Can't Encrypt Files."  There is really no other information that I can find on this error.  
    Any help would be appreciated!!
    Thanks

    Digging around a bit more, I found some error msgs in Work Folders Event log:
    Event ID 2100
    Sync failed. Work Folders path: C:\Users\testuser\Work Folders; Error: (0x80c80314) The Work Folders path has to be encrypted. You might have an application holding the Work Folders folder open or the folder might be compressed. Close Windows Explorer and
    any open files or apps, and check the folder Advanced properties to ensure that the folder is not compressed.
    and
    Event ID 9002
    Work Folders detected a sync error. Check partnership status, network connectivity, and disk space.
    Again, these errors only occur on Windows 7 SP1 Professional | Enterprise devices.  Windows 8.1 devices function as desired.

  • Sync dialog window just stays blank (mac & linux) after FF upgrade from V 28 to V33

    Hi,
    I've been using FF 28 so far, using a local weave server for synching my bookmarks and passwords.
    Now I've installed the new mozilla syncserver, and I wanted to upgrade FF to the latest V 33. Before upgrading I unlinked the synchronization as described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-update-to-the-new-firefox-sync.
    After upgrading to V 33 I would like to connect FF to the new syncserver. I go to Menu->Tools->Setup Sync and I get a nice 'Welcome to sync' screen. But after pressing 'Get Started' FF seems to load something, but ends up with an empty, blank white box in the middle of a light grey screen (printing 'mozilla' in the right upper part of the screen).
    Same behavior on both mac and linux.
    Can anyone suggest how to solve this? Any help is very much appreciated.
    Ralph

    I understand that you are using a local weave server and have updated the new custom sync server. Specific questions about setting up a custom weave server you can refer to this [https://docs.services.mozilla.com/howtos/run-sync-1.5.html] and ask any specific questions on the sync mailing list.

  • HT4628 I am no longer able to iTunes wi-fi sync since I upgraded to the iPhone 5. Can anyone help me with this issue? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    I am no longer able to iTunes wi-fi sync since I upgraded to the iPhone 5. When trying to connect, it stays in the discovery mode and never connects.I have to try and pair them all over again. Then I get a message saying that my Mac Book Pro is not supported. Can anyone assist me in resolving this issue. It is an early Mac Book Pro 10 I believe. I purchased it in February of 2010.

    I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
    She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
    Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
    The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
    Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
    Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
    If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
    One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15947486#15947486
    On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
    I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

  • Treo 750 syncing w/ Windows Vista 32bit

    I have a Treo 750 that I had synced with windows xp. Ever since I "upgraded" to windows vista I have not been able to sync.  The computer won't even recognize the phone as connected.  Here is what I have and what I have tried already.  I have, as mentioned, the Treo 750 running windows mobile 5.0/ the laptop was running xp which I had no problems setting up and syncing.  I now have window vista 32bit I guess since when I tried downloading WMDC 64bit it wouldn't support the download, so I have WMDC 32bit. When I downloaded WMDC the treo was connected through a usb cable.  I have uninstalled and re-installed WMDC several times. Sometimes the device manager will not recognize the usb cable and sometimes it does.  When it does recognize the cable it shows a bluetooth symbol and says everything is working properly but when I open up WMDC I am not connected, if I push the sync button nothing happens, if I unplug the usb cable and replug the device manager then will no longer recognize the usb cable. I have also tried everything on the support boards, help forums, you name it I have tried it except a hard reset which I don't want to do until I sync all my info first. Oh yeah the whole reason I am so desperate to sync my phone after such a long time is because my phone constantly freezes up as if I have to much going on which I don't. I have cleaned out every program not necessary so I have tons of memory, so that is not slowing down or freezing my phone. I basically have to soft reset my phone after I do or run 3-4 different applications including phone calls.  ANYONE PLEASE HELP EITHER OF THESE TWO PROBLEMS BEFORE MY GIRLFRIEND DUMPS ME FOR SPENDING SO MUCH TIME ON THE COMPUTER TRYING TO FIGURE THIS STUPID THING OUT.  THANKS  DAVE
    Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

    Yeah I have tried that already no luck.  Here are some other things that I forgot to mention. I have another laptop that is running windows xp, this laptop has never been synced to anything. I downloaded Microsoft Activesync but it will not connect to that either. The difference with this computer is that when I plug it into the USB port it makes a sound and when I push the usb sync button it makes a beep followed by another beep.  Lastly I have another Treo (my girlfriends) that when I first tried to sync to WMDC it did not connect but after running troubleshoots I got it to work on both computers. It is so frustrating.

  • TextEdit, Calca, Numbers photos syncing stop to work

    Hello,
    Since Mavericks have been having some obscure, difficult to formulate problem. In the nutshell, some programs (TextEdit, Calca to name the few) cease to work under unknown circumstances (nothing magical, I just missed the moment when it happens).
    A couple of times photos synchronization (with iOS devices using iTunes) stopped to work. Synchronizing them took so much time that I never had patience to wait till it ends (waited an hour or more). Guess it somehow may be connected to the former problem.
    I have the strong inkling that it happens after some new app is installed. When I installed Team Viewer a month ago or so the photo sync stopped to work also. After rebooting everything returned to normal.
    Week ago installed Aquamacs, sync wasn't affected, however TextEdit was.
    After restarting the system everything returns to normal.
    How TextEdit doesn't work (the same applies to other programs):
    Icon of the App jumps for a while. Menu of the App appears. No windows of TextEdit, menu irresponsive. Terminating only by 'Force Quit'. See no relevant records in the log (Console). If the records in log somehow connected to the TextEdit, the relation is too distant for me to recognize it.
    Checked the disk with Disk Utility, nothing serious,
         "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK.",
    some messages of permissions like
         "Permissions differ on “Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/Safari.help/Contents/Resources/"
    Googling and analyzing for some months. Many quite contradicting suggestions, like reinstalling the OS or just checking the /Library permissions. None of them looked to me very reliable to rush doing it specially killing the OS.
    Seems the bug (?) affects the app which uses iCloud.
    Presently:
    Mac OS X 10.9.2
    MacBook Pro 13'
    Careful usage, no suspicious software, mainly Apple made, except few like Aquamacs, VLC, TextMate, etc.
    TextEdit Version 1.9 (310)

    VladimirSch
    One by one or a few at a time the permssions conflicts may not matter.  Mine were quite large in number having accumulated over 4 OSX upgrades.  There was also a problem with  a "pointers / blocks" reference.
    In my case the situtation led to a condition that manifest itself as if it were running out of disk space in a partition while Get-Info reported there was plenty of space unused.  In adition some of the apps became quite slow and displayed erratically.
    There may have been some other aspect as when the "Genius Bar" guy booted up my MBP with his network version of Mavericks he then ran a special version of Dick Utility that "fixed" the disk in about 1/2 hour wall clock.
    I'm glad I live close to an Apple store.

  • USB Ports stopped working - Vista Home Premium (32bit)

    I reloaded Windows Mobile Device Center yesterday.  When I got home and booted my computer, all 3 USB Ports and the card reader do not work.  There is power, but no use of the device.  I have read several help posts on this and I have attempted to fix without success.  The one thing I keep reading is the USB Root Hub.  I do not have this in my device manager.  I have uninstalled all of the Universal USB Controllers in attempt to allow Windows to install the drivers.  I am getting a Code 39 error and it says the system cannot locate the preconfigured driver folders.  I cannot use a mouse, printer, or sync my phone without the use of my USB Ports.  Can anyone please help me?

    Hello,
    I recently bought a Pavilion dv6-6c11sa laptop. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Everything was working fine for about a week, and then yesterday all of the USB ports stopped working. I have 4 USB ports in total, two 2.0 and two 3.0. No matter what peripheral device I plug in, mouse or flash drive etc, they're not recognized by the laptop. The lights don't even light up on the devices, regardless of the port. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers in device manager, taking out the battery and rebooting, installing the chipset drivers (AMD), nothing works. No programs had been installed 3 days prior to the occurence, although I had rebooted several times in that time frame. I simply booted up the laptop yesterday, and nothing worked.

  • USB problems after Windows 8.1 update

    Since I updated to windows 8.1 my USB ports have problems. The issues occur when I am trying to use a USB to serial cable. It will work for a short period of time and then stop. The error I get says connected device quit responding. Then it will start working again. Sometimes the system will crash and the error is that the driver unloaded before a que'd request was finished. When this happens, it takes about 5 minutes for the computer to come back up.
    I had no such issues before the upgrade. Cisco anyconnect, VPN software no longer works either and I don't have the software myself as it was emotely downloaded by my company tech support, but any suggestion for fixing it would be appreciated as well.

    The following document..
       Release Notes for Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client, Release 3.1

    Note: When upgrading to Windows 8.1, uninstall AnyConnect, and reinstall it after your Windows upgrade is complete.

  • Archlinux. On QEMU. On your USB. On Windows

    - GOAL
        Running ArchLinux 2009.02 on an USB Drive in Windows. Slow? Perhaps. Personally, I think it is actually pretty fast. Though
        I must admit that I don't use funky things like X-windows (KDE, Gnome or something else), it was still pretty fast for a
        complete OS running from an USB stick within(!) another OS.
        So why would you want to do this? It's quite simple, actually. For me, the problem was that I always had to use Windows (XP)
        at my work and wouldn't be able to boot into Arch there using a LiveCD or USB, thus being unable to use all my applications.
        Perhaps you ARE able to boot into Linux at your work, but still, it can become quite frustrating to have to boot into another
        Operating System all the time. With this, you don't have to do that anymore, you can run all your Linux applications IN
        Windows!
    - REQUIREMENTS
        - Download QEMU 0.9.0 for Windows
        - Download ArchLinux 2009.02 (later versions will probably work, but I used this version)
        - An empty CD
        - An USB drive of at least 4GiB
    - GETTING ARCH
        The first thing you should do once you have downloaded ArchLinux (a task that could take a while, depending largely on the
        speed of your internet connection,) is to burn it to a CD. Perhaps it's different with you, but for me, QEMU wasn't able to
        use the CD-image of ArchLinux properly without it being burned to a CD and being in the real CD-drive. Yes, I know this sucks,
        because this means the installation of ArchLinux on your USB drive is going to take even MORE time, but I'm afraid it won't
        work otherwise. (It didn't work with me, at least, perhaps it is different if you are using a different version of Arch, feel
        free to contact me if this is the case.)
    - SETTING UP QEMU
        Once you have downloaded and unzipped QEMU, you have to create a disk image using qemu-img.exe. Fire up a terminal, and run
        "qemu-img.exe create harddisk.img 4000M". This will probably take some time. (Assuming you are doing this on your USB drive,
        if you're not, you still have to copy the file to your USB drive someday, so don't think you've bypassed the test of patience!)
        When it's done, you will have a nice raw image file of 4000 Megabytes without any data in your folder, we are going to need
        this later.
        Now, to be able to boot the ArchLinux CD in QEMU, we have to modify the qemu-win.bat file a bit. Open the file, remove all
        lines, and then write this: "qemu.exe -L . -m 512 -boot d -cdrom /dev/cdrom -hda harddisk.img" Now if you run this batch file,
        it will start QEMU, allocate a maximum of 512MB RAM to the application (use less if you don't have that many, but I recommend
        using as much as possible, since you don't want it to run TOO slow), boot from CDROM (-boot d) and use the /dev/cdrom to
        locate the CDROM image, which should be your (first) CD/DVD-player. The -hda harddisk.img means it will use the file
        harddisk.img as a hard disk drive (duh) which we are going to use to install Arch on. To go on, put the ArchLinux CD in your
            CD/DVD-player, and run the batch file.
    - INSTALLING ARCH
        Installing ArchLinux is pretty straightforward, all you have to do is follow the instructions on the screen. There are a few
        points you should keep in mind when installing ArchLinux on an USB drive, though.
        - Don't create too many partitions! When using the 'auto-partitioner', Arch wants you to create seperate partitions for the
        / and the /home folder, I would not recommend doing this if you haven't created a harddisk image of at least 8000M. Because,
        quite simply, otherwise you have to distribute the space (just 4000M) between / and /home, and it can be quite difficult to
        allocate the right amount of space. Believe me, it IS a problem if you run out of space someday. You can't just create a
        bigger harddisk.img file. (Well, technically you can, but that would be a little bit.. difficult for most people.)
        - Don't select too many packages. Assuming you know what you're doing, try to deselect as much as possible (without screwing
        up the whole thing, of course) for a very simple reason, you don't have that much space on a simple USB drive.
        - Of course, you don't have to care at all about the above pointers if you have a very large USB drive. Very large here
        meaning anything larger than 16GB, so yes, that IS pretty large in my opinion.
    - SETTING UP QEMU, AGAIN
        So you've installed Arch on your harddisk image, huh? Well done! In any case, we can't use the qemu-win.bat file anymore,
        since we don't want to boot using the CD/DVD-player again. I recommend creating a new batch file in the QEMU folder,
        (call it 'arch-hd.bat', or something like that,) and put the following line into it: "qemu.exe -L . -m 512 -boot c -hda
        harddisk.img", the only thing that is changed is that we don't use the CD/DVD-player anymore, and that we changed the
        it to -boot c which means it will boot from the harddisk image. (Actually isn't so difficult now, is it?)
    - FINAL REMARKS
        Now you're ready to go! You've installed ArchLinux on a Virtual Machine on your USB drive, so now the fun can start! One more
        thing that I consider VERY important to know is how to mount your physical hard disk in Arch (in QEMU). Knowing this can make
        it extremety-much easier to install things on Arch, since you can then simply 'download' the packages from your physical
        hard drive.
        To use your physical hard drive in QEMU, add "-hdb \\.\PhysicalDrive0" to the batch-file (arch-hd.bat), this line will assign
        your first physical hard drive to /dev/hdb (or /dev/sdb) in Arch. Remember that you still have to mount it! (Someting that can
        be done    by writing "mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/" in the terminal. Assuming your first hard drive uses the NTFS-format, and
        the main partitions is /dev/hdb1, this should put all files and filders in /mnt/. It is possible that your partition is called
        /dev/sdb1, in that case simply replace hdb1 with sdb1.)
        Please keep in mind that there are many, many more parameters you can use in QEMU, so reading the documentation will probably
        be a very good thing. You never know, you MIGHT even learn something!
    - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
        Q. When configuring the system in the ArchLinux installer, it just stopped doing anything when it was saving the configuration
        files! Did it somehow crash?
        A. No, this is normal. For some reason (called 'writing speed'), this just takes time. Much time. Lots of time. This is the real
        test of patience.
        Q. How do I get support for sound/video card/networking/etc. in QEMU?
        A. Read the documentation!
        Q. Help! QEMU crashed when I tried to run the .bat file!
        A. Check whether you are using the exact same .bat file as given in the instructions. If it still doesn't work, contact me and
        I will try to solve your problem if you provide me with enough information about it. (So sending me a message containing
        something like "Help! QEMU doesn't work on my PC!" will probably not get you much of a useful response.)

    thank you, quite useful. btw i had to use qemu 0.9.0 for installation - somehow i was unable to make 1.5.50 boot (from neither iso nor physical cdrom). but then i had to switch back to the newer version because i was getting a lot of libata2 exception messages on console. also, i had to update UUID for some reason in grub.cfg. performancewise it's not very fast but it fits my needs. i am using the following command to start my qemu archbox: qemu-system-i386.exe -boot c -hda harddisk.img -net nic,model=virtio -net user -redir tcp:5555::22 and then i can connect using putty on my local port 5555. the good thing about this is that you really don't need admin rights.
