Webcam Plugged in before drivers load - not recognizing device

I accidentally plugged my webcam notebook into my windows xp box prior to loading the drivers after I had to re-image the box. Now the system won't recognize the webcam when I plug it in. I have reloaded drivers multiple time and restarted several times. When I tried to manual load the drivers in the device manager to the unknown usb device, I point the hardware to the folder with the drivers but windows won't match the hardware to the drivers. Is there anyway to make windows forgot this somehow? Or another solution?

Ah! Then I'm sure that both devices would need Windows drivers!
Maybe there are some later drivers for the webcams...

Zen Micro Freezes when I plug in USB cable+USB not recognized at ti

Ok, I know you, the reader, has heard this complaint posted over and over on the Creative forums, and you would probably tell me to SEARCH THE FORUMS. Well, I did, and I found no answer or solution to my problems. So..here goes nothing.
I recently purchased a Black 5gb Creative Zen Micro, I was really content and happy with it...that is until I plugged it into my USB 2.0 Card. The moment I do that (I've tried plugging it in into every USB 2.0 slot, and NO, this isn't a hub, but a PCI card), The Zen Micro freezes! I have to resolve this by removing the cover and taking out the battery, then reinserting the battery. At the same time my Zen Micro freezes, a little bubble pops up on my computer screen saying "USB Device Not Recognized". I'm going absolutely out of my mind here, and am on the verge of returning the Zen Micro, and might get a replacement, and if that doesn't work, just returning the Zen altogether for a refund and getting a Rio Carbon. I really like the Zen, so PLEASE PLEASE help me out here!
Things I've Tried That Did Not Work:
-Uninstall/Reinstalling Zen Explorer, Mediasource (basically everything on CD)
-Updating the drivers for Zen Micro found on Nomadness.net
-Updating Firmware for Zen Micro
-Going into rescue mode and cleaning up, Formatting, reloading firmware, and rebooting.
-Trying the USB 2.0 Card in different PCI Slots
-Rotating the order in which I connect the USB cable to Zen Micro and PC
-Uninstalling/Reinstalling the drivers, even when the Zen Micro pops up as "Unknown Device"
-Reading tips/hints on Nomadness.net
I have scoured the forums, and have not found anything useful or new. I know its not the USB 2.0 Card's problem, since I plugged in my USB mouse into all the ports on the USB Card, and it worked fine.
Note: When I plug the USB cable that came with the Zen Micro into the integrated USB slots on the motherboard (USB .), it at times, does work, but even then, not a high chance of it happening. Even if I do successfully connect the Zen to a USB . slot without it freezing up, the Zen ends up not being detected by any program, like Window Media Player, Mediasource, or Creative Zen Micro Explorer.
I am going out this weekend and am gonna try to buy a new USB Cable, and if that doesn't work, returning the cable, and returning the Zen Micro to be replaced. AND IF THAT DOES NOT WORK...GOODBYE CREATIVE! HELLO RIO! But please, any help you guys could give would be greatly appreciated. I will also try to contact Creative Customer Support, but I doubt they'll tell me anything new, if I could even connect to them without being put on hold.
System Specs:
Windows XP Professional SP2
Creative Zen Micro Firmware .02.05
USB 2.0

Yep, that's exactly my issues to.....no matter what I've done, including replacing the USB 2.0 card which WAS and Adaptec DuoConnect 2.0 card which works fine with every other USB device ever connected to it, the Zen Micro 6g is NOT recognized by Creative Media Source or WMP. It is only recognized by the PC in Device Manager, and it has a yellow marker on it, which tells me the drivers are not installed. I know I don't need the drivers installed, but even after installing them, it tells me the drivers are not installed.
However, the answer is: it's definitely not the Micro, since it works flawlessly on my other PC and on my Toshiba notebook. So, it's some compatibility issue on that one PC. Since I refuse to let things be, I am reformatting that PC, reinstalling from scratch with WinXP and sp2. This PC has WinXP Pro but it has other issues so a reformat is in order anyway. Hopefully, this will resolve the issues. If not, then I say it's incompatibility with the Intel 865Perl m.b. But I'm at a loss as to why it won't work when plugged into the Adaptec card too.

Plug-ins from mac store not recognized.

I just downloaded aperture 3.3.2 . I have Mountain Lion. However each plug-in, all the Lens Correction plug-ins, are not recognized by aperture and appear with a message that they are not authorized by Apple?

Kirby, Thank you for your message.
But I am puzzled as to why the dowloads would be posted on the apple site and not work. I see that apple does not take responsibility, but you would think that they would make an effort to alert you to compatability before downloading.

Software not recognizing device

Software not recognizing devicezSince installing Windows 7, the Creative software such as Console lancher, Creative Control Panel, etc will not launch and returns an error message telling me that "The current selected device is not supported by the application. I have downloaded and installed the most current software/drivers for this product and operating system and have made sure that the card is properly installed. The device is recognized and present in the Device Manager and appears to be working properly.
I am using a SB Extreme Audio card that was factory installed on aa Asus P6T Deluxe board. All worked well with the original Vista OS but after switching to Win7, the problems began. I have done a complete uninstall of the drivers and software as well as running "Driver sweeper" to root out any remaining elements before re-installing the software and drivers. I also have the .onboard SoundMax audio disabled through the CMOS.
My system specs are as follows:
Core i7 965 Extreme
Asus P6T Deluxe
2GB Corsair 600 Dominator
EVGA 295-GTX
000w Ultra PS
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

I should have posted this some time ago. I was contacted by Eric Albers from Saris in mid-November with a PowerAgent update that fixes the problem.
Here is the email I got from Eric:
Thanks for your continued patience. As of today we have a version of PowerAgent that should resolve the issue for everybody without the need to boot into safe mode to download your data.
Please download and install PowerAgent 7.5.8.47 from the link below. Be sure that you are not in safe mode when installing or using this version PowerAgent, also the installation steps have changed slightly so please be sure to follow them carefully.

Computer suddenly not recognizing device

My computer is not recognizing my iPhone 5 when I plug it in to transfer purchases and update. I have had the phone for awhile and it was working just fine.

Great! It's not the first thing you think of, but my philosophy is "when in doubt, reboot." What probably happened is the AppleMobileDeviceService crashed. This is the easiest way to restart it.

TOUCHSMART 520 PC NOT RECOGNIZING DEVICES IN THE USB PORT.

When I plug any devices into the USB port, they are not recognized. The computer acts as if they are not there. The devices (MP3, camera, Garmin, etc) turn on, so I know that they are connected. The Printer and wireless mouse that connect through the USB port still work and I have tried changing ports...it doesn't make any difference. Even if I try to search for thr device, the computer does not find it. Any ideas?

Headphone Jack Not Recognizing Devices

Just stepped up from an old G4 iMac 17" to an slightly newer intel iMac 17" and I'm missing my old
clear plastic "ball" speakers. There is a different type of jack on these than the 1/8" input on my new (older) iMac so I can't use them. The built in speakers just don't do it for me on this current machine.
So to get to my point, I tried plugging a pair of powered speakers into the headphone jack and they were not recognized in the sound control panel. Tried with headphones and same thing. Only "internal speakers" appears in the control panel. I asked someone at an Apple store about this and he told me to look for a red light inside the headphone jack. If I saw red then this most likely would mean the jack is fried. I checked and did NOT see any red light.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance !

Hi moJo
Sounds like a hardware problem with the Output jack, the sound card or that section of the logic board.
If you are stuck with that iMac for whatever reason, then your best bet might be to pick up a Griffin USB Audio Interface. > http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic/

BIOS on Satellite L350 is not recognizing devices

Hi
I have a Satalite L350 which was crashing in windows after about 1 min of loading up. I thought perhaps the hard drive was faulty, so I tried to run a program I have called PC Check 6. I then discovered the cd drive would not read. I then tried a USB CD drive and still it would not boot up from disc. After resetting the BIOS to default settings I discovered that the BIOS was not recognizing any devices other than the hard disk. I took the hard disk out and tested with PC Check via another PC and HD Passed.
I now want to reinstall windows but CD Drive wont boot. I asume the problem is with my BIOS (InsydeH20 version 1.5) Perhaps flashing it would work? But.... no CD and USB devices :S
Any ideas what I can do please?

Hi
I dont think that BIOS is the problem.
The BIOS has recognized the HDD properly. Right?
Well, I think the internal CD/DVD drive is faulty if the BIOS cannot recognize this
Furthermore the BIOS of the L350 does not support booting from USB CD/DVD drive.
This is not possible
If you want to install the OS from recovery disk, then you will need to replace the internal CD/DVD drive because it seems to be faulty
Of course this is my personal option and just a suggestion

HT204406 Updated software. iTunes not recognizing devices.

I recently updated my Mac with Mac OS Lion to get it to version 10.6. Now my iTunes is not recognizing any of my devices nor letting me purchase music in iTunes. What am I missing? How do I get my devices recognized with this new software version?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The latest iTunes version is 11.0.1. Open iTunes > About iTunes to check the version, and if you don't have this version, open  > Software Update to install the most recent version

Windows 7 not recognizing device - Dell Wireless 5620 EVDO HSPA Mobile Broadband Mini Card

Windows 7 is not recognizing my Dell Wireless 5620 EVDO HSPA Mobile Broadband Mini Card (Qualcomm Gobi 2000). I can't even uninstall the driver, it says that I don't have "sufficient permission" to stop device or something to that effect
(though I'm an administrator). I also can't re-install the same or different driver. I might have installed the wrong driver, though this is supposed to be the correct one according to Dell after typing in my service tag. I went to the FTP
to get one specifically for "Verizon Wireless", but I can't uninstall the prior driver.
How can I fix these issues? Thanks.

Hi,
Any update?
Have you tried safe mode mentioned in the first reply? What is the status of the driver in device manager? For "Verizon Wireless", have you installed any verizon software or related verizon device? Uninstall this kind software, then uninstll driver again
as a test.
Contact this support, maybe they can give some different ideas.

Twain Drivers Are Not Recognizing my LiDE 100 Scanner in Photoshop CS5?

This is my first post, mainly becuase I'm stumped on every front to this problem, just bought myself a new 17" Macbook Pro the other day and immediately started to update all my drivers, through on Photoshop CS5 among a few other CS5 programs, but this is where things got hairy...
Since this is a 64 bit intel mac (Snow Leapord) , I went over and decided to download the TWAIN plugin, dropped it in the Import/Export plugins folder, went to the Adobe Photoshop app folder and happily clicked boot as 32 bit... aaaaand... NOTHING. It didn't see my scanner, and my scanner is a Canoscan LiDE 100, not that old. I've already had success doing this with Win 64 bit as long as I opened a 32 bit version of Photoshop, but no luck so far on the Mac. The scanner works fine with Image Capture so I know that he scanner is alive.
I've tried rebooting, finding other TWAIN plugins, even out of curiosity I've toggled between 32 and 64 bit Photoshop to see if the Scanner could be recognized. I know I could scan using Image capture, but I'd rather get this problem sorted out. I know that in some cases people boot using Rosetta, but this scanner isn't that old so I don't think that would be the problem.
If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated, and I realize that sometimes the most simple answer is the one that's the most easily overlooked, and I'm hoping that's the case.
Thanks everyone!

Scanning with TWAIN has become increasingly buggy.
Why not just use the Epson scanner software that came with the scanner?
That way you can continue to use Photoshop while using Epson to scan.
There are more features available from Epson than with Image Capture.
However, if you feel the need to use TWAIN, here is the link for Mac CS5 plugin.
Five seconds with Google would get you this:

Map loader not recognizing phone

Hi everybody;
I have a new N95, updated all the software and have used maps at least once. Well, exactly once. After updating I went out and found a free WLAN and loaded the local map. Now back at my computer the map loader software says no medium detected please connect phone or card reader. My phone IS connected. This is as far as I can get since map loader shuts itself off.
Ideas?

Hi jp1159
In what mode is your N95 connected to PC by USB as default mode is "PC Suite" mode when it needs to be in "Data transfer" mode for downloading regional maps?
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

System not recognizing device

I've tried the 5 R's with no results. Whenever I plug in the ipod nano of course the Do not Disconnect screen comes up. But then I get a screen taht states "your ipod has been connected. Please wait while the system recognizes the device. Waiting on ipod. This continues indefinitely. If I unplug the ipod, it states to reconnect device. Nothing seems to help. I've loaded it on several pcs with the same results. Also have loaded and reloaded ipod updater and itunes. itunes never sees the ipod. How can I fix this thing?

Put the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore as new.

FireWire not recognizing device

I am running 10.5.8 on MacBook Pro. I was successfully using my camcorder and DV cable and everything worked fine. Suddenly my camcorder was no longer recognized (I am not sure if this correlated with a change in firmware or not.) When I go to "Network" the status shows the FireWire is not connected. The camcorder flashes DV-IN, so it seems like the problem is on the computer side. Please Help!!!! Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Do you have any other firewire devices that you can connect to your computer. Try connecting the device with the same cable and see if it is recognised in system profiler, if it does it is the fault is probably on the camera.
Also before you try that, connect your camera, switch it on in VCR mode and then launch i movie.
Good Luck.
