Webcam failure where the "device manager does not recognize the hardware"? Pavilion dv7 Win 7

I have done everything the website suggests. Nothing worked. Has anyone gotten satisfaction to the issue either by a fix or a service center repair? I have seen others with the same problem accross different operating systems.

Ha Ha. I'm replying to my own post!
Solution.... If your laptop does not recognize the built-in camera at all in the device manager and your warranty has expired or your willing to void your warranty. You can see if you have the same problem as I had. Gently pry the plastic frame around your camera and display screen apart you need to go at least half way down the sides. There is also some adhesive tape you will need to push to one side or the other. To the right of the camera there is a very small connector, it wont even look as if it is separated. Use a tweezer or small screwdriver to push the connector into the socket. This fixed my problem ...The next startup recognized the camera and has worked perfectly since. In my opinion (13yrs experience in reliability engineering semiconductor manufacturing) this is a manufacturing reliability issue either the socket cannot hold the connector in place or there is too much strain on the wiring to the connector. Good luck.

I just purchased a new Linksys E2500 router. It will connect to all my other devices, but does not recognize the password when sent from the PowerBook G4.

I just purchased a new Linksys E2500 router. It will connect to all my other devices, but does not recognize the password when sent from the PowerBook G4. When I try it responds that the password is invalid. I have connected my MacBook Pro, iPad and iPod Touch with the same password.

Try putting $ (a dollar sign) in front of the password.

Desktop Manager does not recognize USB Connection

I have installed the Desktop Manager for MAC (v1.0.2) on my MacBook Pro Snow Leopard10.6.3.
When I connect my Storm 9520 the Mac OS recognizes the media storage drives in the 'Finder'. I can copy files to and from the device media using 'Finder' but the Desktop Manager does not recognize that the device is plugged into the USB (yes I have tried both USB connectors).

I have an 8310, Macbook Pro running OSX 10.6 and the BB desktop v 1.0.2 build 8. It recently stopped recognizing the USB connection as well. I was able to sync my BB with the MAC but can no longer do so. The MAC mounts the BB and I can access the SD card. What gives here?

Music Manager does not recognize my downloaded mus...

I am using Nokia PC Suite 7.1.18.0 for my 5310. When I use the Music Manager to scan my computer for music files, it recognizes all the songs that I have burned from my CDs, but it does not recognize any of the music that I have downloaded from iTunes. If anyone could help, that would be great. I have had so many problems with Nokia PC Suite, and this is the one thing that I can't seem to figure out on my own!

Open DTM and connect your BB via USB cable, then in desktop go to options and click on detect and look what it has there, if everything is ok go to main menu DTM and click on sync then on to config sync settings, make sure all is correct there, failing that in options you can check you setting in connections and PIN# are entered there.

Dreamweaver cs4, site management does not recognize image directory

I have checked rebooted, clear cache, but still does not recognize image folder. ????? Can anyone please help? It drives me crazy before I even start using dreamweaver.

got it, needed to create images directory to associate with actual file......how I supposed to know that?

Digitalpersona´s HP protecttools security manager does not recognize sign in pages as such with FF4

With FF3.6 and previous, when visiting i.e. my bank site, and loading a sign-in page previously recorded with sign-in info and passwords stored with ProtectTools Password Manager, I was prompted to fill and submit such stored info. Since upgrade to FF4, the mentioned soft does not recognize sign in pages as such, therefore, not prompting for fill in and submitt, nor does it recognize sign in pages on any site, to prompt for recording the sign in info or password.

I think that it is something wrong with kernel and graphic drivers but i'm not able to solve it from the beginning of using of Arch by me.
I'm not so sure this issue is software-related only because in my case it seems the laptop screen enters power-saving mode (10-min timeout) on its own without any events logged (as shown by dmesg) so my next thought was OK, I'm going to get rid of this issue disabling the screen power-saving timeout in the BIOS and set it to never power down or something like that and from then on managing power mode manually; ie: when I want to power down I will just use systemctl suspend/hibernate which work fine ... problem is: there are no related options in my BIOS for such timeout.
The only timeouts I have are in /etc/systemd/logind.conf set to 30min (#IdleActionSec) (commented) by default so these are not in effect because the screens goes blank after 10m which is less than the (default) 30m in logind. Maybe setting loggind to 9m (un-commented) to catch the event before the machine-default one ?
IdleActionSec=9min
IdleAction=suspend
Will check it and report back.

Equium P200D PSPBNE: device manager does not show the DVD-RW DVR-K17A ATA DVD/CD

Hello experts out there i need urgent help!!
My Equium P200D all of a sudden it decided to show the DVD/CD Drive in device manager as no longer working due to a corrupt driver??
I am running Vista Home and despite deleting the drive and trying to update the driver nothing seem's to work can anybody help i am getting to the point of throwing it out of the window.
Regards
Stephen

Hi dude
This issue is known to me it happened to me too
The problem is you Windows registry!!!
One registry entry is corrupt and therefore the CD/DVD ROM does not work as I should.
So what to do.
Firstly remove the driver from the device manager. Just simply delete it.
Then access the registry and and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Then reboot the notebook.

Sat P105-S2036 WinVista Device Manager does not show Tbios device

The label on the bottom of the laptop says the Model Number is PSPAOU-1W2036. I have had it for about 2 years. During this time till 2 days ago, it ran factory installed Windows XP MCE just fine. Device Manager had always showed Tbios as a device.
During the two days starting 3 days ago, I successfully upgraded the operating system to Windows Vista Ultimate. Everything works fine except Device Manager no longer shows Tbios device.
I am not able to find any Tbios WinVista driver at Support.Toshiba.com for all listed Satellite P105 models.
What does Tbios do to serve what purpose?
Is Tbios required for WinVista? If so, how may I find the driver to install.
THANKS for an answer in advance.

Desktop manager does not recognize my device

I am running Vista Ultimate 64-bit. No matter what I do, Desktop Mgr (v4.7) will not recognize my device. No device PIN# shows, only "USB" as a connection. I cannot reload my OS. I have a 507 "windows od death error".

Open DTM and connect your BB via USB cable, then in desktop go to options and click on detect and look what it has there, if everything is ok go to main menu DTM and click on sync then on to config sync settings, make sure all is correct there, failing that in options you can check you setting in connections and PIN# are entered there.

Profile Manager does not recognize existing OD master

I built up a new Mountain Lion server at home, migrated all user data from an older server to it and today brought it into production in a colocation center. The nly thing I had to change in the colcocation environment was the IP address of the server. Everything else, even the hostname (DNS name), was already set in my home environment (I ran a DNS server at home for this). Profile Manager was already set up and therefore also Open Directory was running (without certificate). All users (except the admin) are stored in OD. At home I used the airport interface with a private address and in the colocation environment I use a public IP address on the ethernet interface.
After placing the server in the colocation centre verything went OK, but for Profile Manager. I was able to login as admin and as a user, but I was not able to install profiles on devices (https://server/mydevices). Therefore I did reset Profile Manager following http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5349. But now when I try to use the configure button in Profile Manager in Server.app to set up device management, it wants to create an OD master or replica. This is not what should happen according to the knowledge base article. It should use the existing OD master and just ask for the organization etc. I have a clone of the server as it was configured at home and tried the same procedure on this server, but then everything goes as expected from the knowledge base article. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this on my new colocated server?
I do not want to destroy OD, as I am not sure how to preserve all local network users.
Thanks for your help!

8830 & Desktop Manager does not recognize Outlook Express 2000, cannot sync

I just installed Desktop Manager 5.0 and connected to my BB 8830. I use Outlook Express 2000 for calendar and I want to sync it with my BB 8330. However, in Desktop Manager under Sync / Config / Select Device for calendar, the only choices are Yahoo and Import/Export Text. Obviously it is not recognizing Outlook Express 2000 as a calendar program. Does anyone have a solution?
I bought this 8830 mainly to sync its calendar with my Outlook Express calendar. If it does not work, then I am going to return it to my cell phone carrier.
Solved!

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Outlook 2000 has not been supported since Desktop Manager 4.2.
KB14763 Unable to select Microsoft Outlook 2000 from the list of applications for synchronization
I would check on Outlook 2003, still supported by MS and the cheapest version still available.
Thanks,

Desktop manager does not recognize Outlook 2003.

Hello everyone,
We have an Exchange server but use POP3 accounts individually on the users also.
I have installed this software (desktop manager) many times with other clients and never had an issue.
On this particular user using Blackberry 9550 v5.0.0.713 I have installed and then uninstalled desktop manager 6.0 because it saw that we had Exchange and automatically assumed Enterprise Server was present, when I chose not to use Enterprise account, it did not see Outlook as a choice to synchronize with.
I then removed 6.0 removed user settings, restarted and installed Desktop Mangager 5.01 sp1. I chose the option for personal mail. The synchronize configuration still does not list Outlook as a choice to configure.
Has anyone else run into this?
I found a post that said to make sure that Wireless Sync is off and it is.
Help please,
Jeanne
