VISTA - can;t find device driver for your IPOD - read the solution here!

It would appear that VISTA is rather stupid when it comes to the Ipod - it can't find the driver for itself. Do the normal autmatic way of trying to find the driver (that doesn't find the device) then look in the hardware device list (control panel) you should see you Ipod listed under other devices with a yellow triangle next to it. Right click this line and select "properties". then click "update device driver". Then, DON'T do the automatic find, instead click "I will choose the device from a list". Click on "storage device" and voila! VISTA now finds a USB mass storage device and installs it - JOB DONE! HOORAY!
good luck!

When you are prompted to look for a driver input
C:\WINDOWS\System32 and browse it will find a generic
volume that fixes it.
I tried this as well. I can find a Generic Volume (I think it lists SD, MMC- neither of which seem correct), but neither of those helps. iPod still isn't recognized as a drive even in disc mode. I started another thread after not finding this one. I'm not sure why USB Mass Storage device isn't one of the options.

  • Windows cannot find device driver for my ipod mini

    Just got my new laptop and downloaded latest version of iTunes, but my iPod mini does not appear as a source. It appears in Device Manager but not My Computer. Any suggestions?

    Not sure if these are applicable to Vista but worth a try.
    USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date.

  • Can't find recent driver for graphic card (display) cyberaladdin trident

    I can't find recent driver for graphic card (display) cyberaladdin trident.
    The game play with game Warcraft III.
    I downloaded directX 9
    I managed to install the game but I can't play it.
    My display card is Trident Cyberaladdin-T. The game producer told me it is compatible. I tried to find drivers but I haven't find anything efficient. On toshiba site there a driver but quite old (previous to the date I bought the computer...)
    I don(t knox what to do and my son is very disappointed because he can't play with this new game.
    Thanks for your quick answer.

    Hi,
    At first it would be interesting to know for which Operating System your need this driver ? ;)
    Well this Chipset Trident CyberALADDiN-T ( called Napa2T ) was build in three Notebook Types of Toshiba.
    The Satellite 6000, TE2000 and the Satellite 6050. ( Driverversion all with Version 5.01.2527.0128 )
    Normally the drivers you find on the manufacturer Pages are not the actual drivers. They only update the drivers if there are known problems.
    So the only chance for you is to look threw the internet and look if someone else has used this graphic chip,and delivers are newer driver than Toshiba.
    Sorry for the answer, but I had same problem with my Machine, but found a newer driver revision on another manufacturer page.
    bye

  • New MacBookPro. Where can I find a driver for my Microtek Scanmaker 3600

    I recently bought a new MacBook Pro (10.6.8) but to date, haven't been able to find any software/driver to use for my scanner, including the Microtek site. I have a Microtek Scanmaker 3600 that still works perfectly. I have searched forums and online sites for software to use the scanner on the new laptop and hate to think I need to buy a new scanner when the 3600 works fine. I have an HP Deskjet 930C and was able to find the software/driver to use on the new laptop. Does anyone know where I can find the software/driver to get my scanner to work?
    Where can I find a driver for my Microtek Scanmaker 3600. Tried VueScan and TwainSane without success. Do not want to buy a new scanner when old one runs great. Please Help?
    Thanks!

    Thank you for the response.
    I downloaded it and it keeps telling me "No Scanner Detected." I looked on their website under supported scanners, found my Microtek ScanMaker 3600 and it says "NO" for Mac.

    I just sent an email to them asking if VueScan does support a my scanner. I hope it does. I have been searching but am not proficient or know enough of what to look for. I just don't want to have to buy another scanner.

  • Hi, upgraded to OSX Mavericks..my contacts on my iphone4 and iPad don't appear on my iMac..I've tried always but can't find a way for iCloud to deposit the contacts on my Mac..can anyone help? PAR

                        Hi, upgraded to OSX Mavericks..my contacts on my iphone4 and iPad don't appear on my iMac..I've tried all ways but can't find a way for iCloud to deposit the contacts on my Mac..Contacts on my Mac is blank, so I'm starting from a clean sheet...can anyone help? Thanks PAR236

    I recommend to check www.icloud.com, are your contacts shown there?
    If not -> Something might be not set up correctly on you iOS devices.
    Also.. Simple but maybe occuring: Contacts -> Preferences -> Accounts -> iCloud is enabled? (Should be by default if you have iCloud setup via the system preferences, but you never know..)

  • How can you find out what generation your iPod touch is?

    How can you find out what generation your iPod touch is?

    Hi,
    Here is help for the operating system:
    If you are locked to iOS 3 then you have an iPod Touch 1st Gen.
    If you are locked to iOS 4 then you have an iPod Touch 2nd Gen.
    If you are locked to iOS 5 then you have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen.
    If you are locked to iOS 6 then you have an iPod Touch 4th Gen.
    If you can get iOS 7 and have an iPhone 5 sized screen [bigger] you have the current iPod Touch 5th Gen.
    I assume since it says you have iOS 5.1.1 you have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen.
    Also, you may want to sync it so iTunes can tell you or you can look at the model number on the back.
    Hope this helped.

    Hey rangermikegsm,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you’re concerned because you don’t see your rentals in iTunes, but they appear to have downloaded. Take a look at the article below and check the Rentals tab in iTunes on your MacBook.
    About renting movies from the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    Find movies you rented previously
    Find your movie on the device you used to rent it.
    On a Mac or PC: Go to the Rentals tab in the Movies section of the iTunes Library.
    On an iOS device: Go to the Rental tab of the Videos app.
    Using Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation): Look in the top shelf of the main menu.
    Ciao,

  • I can't find a driver for HP Officejet Pro L7580.

    Updated my system to Windows 7 after years of using Vista.  Now I can't use my HP Officejet Pro L7580 because it can't find a driver to install.   Every tab says that the device is working perfectly.  I have removed all HP software...turned it off everything...rebooted...reloaded and still the message says that driver is missing and can't find it on the HP website.  It also said that it doesn't have permission to update drivers.  When checking that area....thats' wrong.  Updates are always automatic without permission per that tab you open to change settings.  I can't see the problem/solution anymore...can anyone else?

  • Can't find nvidia driver for my HP Pavilion dv6000

    Hello,
    I just upgraded my laptop from Windows Vista to Windows 7 Starter.
    But i can't find a NVIDIA driver for it. 
    My laptop name is Pavilion DV6000 and i have a 32 BIT.
    Please can somebody help me?

    Hi @viniboy007
    I understand that you  are looking for a driver for your notebook, and that you have upgraded to windows 7.
    Please post the full product number for your notebook, so I can post a link to the supported drivers for your notebook.
    How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    If there are not supported drivers for that product from HP, then it means the unit was never sold in that configuration. Then I would refer you to this page: What if I Don't See My Operating System?
    The problem then is more about trying to find drivers that will work, that have not been customized by HP to work with the other components on the notebook.
