Will NOT Install Driver for iPod!`

My computer recently crashed, so I had to do a system restore. I managed to reinstall iTunes, which works fine. When I connect my iPod to my computer, however, it registers as being an iPod, and tries to install it, and always fails. It tries to install the drivers for both the iPod and the USB Mass Storage device. In Device Manager, it says that the driver has not yet been installed. I have tried downloading the new driver from Apple. It just says there is an error, the installation cannot continue. Please help!

It tries to install the drivers for both the iPod and the USB Mass Storage device. In Device Manager, it says that the driver has not yet been installed.
hmmm. iPods actually use the standard Windows USB mass storage drivers.
it's possible that those might have gone missing from the PC due to the restore (or the events leading up to the restore). so it might be worth trying the techniques from this MarkJones post:

My Windows 7 Ultimate {32bit} does not install driver for my LG HDD HXD5 320GB

My windows 7 does not install driver for my LG EXTERNAL HDD HXD5 320GB & its attached using a USB.
It works perfectly on Other computers having Windows 7 & Windows XP & Windows Vista, just doesn't work on mines.
I have had internet connected when it was installing hence it got the opportunity to search Windows Update for it but it fails :(
It works even on my computer ( I have DUAL OS) on windows XP SP3 but i need it to work in Windows 7.
Please help Thanks :)
& i have already tried tried the solution which was proposed for another topic in this forum on which it was to Uninstall the driver using Device Manager and unplug the HDD and attach again and let the computer detect and install it again, my computer
does detect it but fails to install the drivers.
My Computer has a 2GB of RAM & 2.40GHZ (32bit) with an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and had come with Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit installed, & i upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit which is completely updated to all the Updates that Microsoft
had offered (using the built in Windows Update in Control Panel)
I have got screen shots of it too.

PS: Same is the case with some of my USB Flash drives, but in their case they don't get detected at all but get in Windows XP SP3 (which is another OS on my pc) as well as on windows 7 and other OS on OTHER COMPUTERS but not mines in Windows 7.
Thanks :)

Hi,
I recommend you try to update the BIOS and the motherboard chipset drivers for Windows 7 firstly.
After that, please refresh the USB Stack:
Control Panel – Device Manager – USB Serial Controllers – Right Click on EVERYTHING and UNINSTALL all except the category itself – Reboot
. This refreshes the drive and the USB stack
Then, right click on the LG EXTERNAL HDD HXD 5 320GB in Device Manager and select Update Driver Software.
You may also try the Windows 7 built-in
Hardware and Devices troubleshooter.
Hope it can help you!

Envy 110 peinter will not install driver

i tried to install driver. it would not install wirelessly. i got installation failure message. it said to uninstall the driver. the driver would not uninstall. i tried in just control panel and same thing. then i installed print and scan doctor. it could not find driver and downloaded driver and tried to install. it failed. it sent installation failure procedure. I got through selective startup to where it said to hit apply. At that point my computer just froze up. no go. I do not know what to do. I get no feedback from HP. I have had nothing but trouble trying to install this printer. I was told it would solve my air print problems with ipad and it didn't found out it was a router issue. after i bought the printer. envy printer would not install driver on my old xp computer. I went to tech support and they could not fix. sent it up to the next level and they could not fix either. I was told it would go to "corporATE" and i never got any response from them and had no where to turn. so much for using the new printer. If there is someone out there who can help, please let me know. thanks

My pc on windows vista can not install driver for my Iphone 4s on 6.0.1

I can do everything in itunes but the windows driver can not be installed.

I too have experienced the Logitech s715i error message stating something like, the accessory is not a supported device of the iPhone. The speakers will charge my phone but will not "connect" to play music. I have an iPhone 4S running version 6.1 (10B142).
I too have contacted Logitech for support and am awaiting a reply.
Can we get some help over here?

Certain apps will not install on my iPod touch 1G due to software version

I bought an iPod Touch 1G off a friend recently. When I got it off him, it had several versions of Angry Birds which all functioned perfectly. Since having to erase all the data and the apps on the device in order to sync it to my computer, I don't seem to be able to install Angry Birds at all and when I try, I get an error message saying I need to update the software version to iPhone 4.
According to my iTunes it is currently on the latest software version which is 3.1.3.
I don't understand why I can't install applications that were working fine before I synced the device to my computer. Could it be some cross-platform issue between my friends Mac and my Pc?
If anyone has a solution, I would be grateful as this is getting frustrating.

First of all, the 1st generation Touch can only instal and use up to iOS 3.1.3, even though there are later versions of the iOS available for newer iPod Touchs. The 1G simply isn't capable of using iOS 4.
As for Angry Birds, there appear to be six versions available (in the UK store), three are paid for and three are free. However, of the three free versions, two require iOS 4.0 or higher to run. So the versions installed on your iPod when you bought it must have been paid for or Angry Birds Lite. I assume therefore that you have been trying to instal Angry Birds Free and Angry Birds Rio Free, which both require iOS 4.0.
I have no idea why there are six different versions or why some require a higher version of the software than other versions.
So either try installing the Angry Birds Lite or buy one of the other versions. Be aware though, that if a version you buy then gets updated and subsequently requires iOS 4, it will be removed from your Touch (as it will not work).

OSX Lion & Brother Scanner DSmobile 600 will not install driver

OSX Lion 10.7.2
Hardware: Brother DSmobile 600 (USB)
Software Driver: DSmobile600_Mac_1_2_4.dmg (OSX 10.6-10.7)
Scanner driver does not install - Scanner does not work
Procedure
Launch the Brother installer - goes through install procedure - forces a required restart
looked in BotherScanner folder - nothing there
Apparently the installer is not actually installing anything except the folder
Looked at the installer content - cannot see anything to install
Do not have the driver form the old OSX
The Brother DSmobile USB scanner did work in OSX6
Any solutions?

I discovered the asnwer to my own question for the benifit of anyone else.
Turn off all anti-virus software!
If you disable any installed security virus /network software etc., download the latest brother DS600 scanner dirver. the Brother scanning driver will install.
however you may have to run any repair software you have afterwards. e.g. Tech Tool Pro 6 and Cocktail.
The Brother DS600 scannr driver install is kind of rough.
The Brother DS600 Mobile scanner does work in Lion 10.7.2
In addition, the Brother DS600 mobile scanner driver installs in WIN 7. Same scenario turn off all anti-virus software before install. works

My Macbook Pro will not install/restart for updates when I use Software Update

So when I go into System Preferences and go to Software Update, I click the Check Now Button. It looks for available updates, and gives me a box that says "Software updates for your computer are ready to be installed. Do you want to install them now?" with options to "Show Details", "Not Now", and "Install and Restart". However, when I hit the install and restart button, after hitting a few confirmations, the app simply logs me out, but doesn't restart the computer. When I restart the computer from the Log In screen, the computer reboots without installing any of the updates. I'm on Snow Leopard, is that why updates aren't installing? Am I going to have to manually download all of the updates, or at least that updates that are compatible with Snow Leopard?

There are no updates for Snow Leopard except to Mountain Lion.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
         See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

I'm trying to install the driver software to my laptop but everytime it pops up and says "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.

Can not install driver for my USB E-MU interface sound card

I have iMac mid 2011

Thank you BOSS for your quick response:
I took your advice and reinstalled my OS, but unfortunately stand-by mode is still causing errors. The only difference is that I managed to install the ATI driver normally and no BSOD, so far.
I'm not sure what is causing this, but my humble guess would be that my ATI card is an OEM card which is pulled form a working dell computer and these cards sometimes do not integrate well when installed on non dell motherboards... However, I need to find out that that is absolutely the case before I remove my vid. card from my system
There is a memory dump file that contains the info about this error but I can't decipher...I'm not a computer savvy, but you or someone here my find the root of the problem in that file. If that will be of any help to provide you with I will, next time.
Thanks in advance!!!

Wont install driver for ipod nano 6

...

Having trouble with device driver not recognized with the new iPod Nano, as well as my iPhone5. I have read all of the support documents on this topic and have 1) deleted drivers and rebooted, 2) uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, and 3) worked with the Apple Mobile Device.
By luck, I was able to get the Nano to synch to iTunes 1 time after removing some drivers and rebooting, but have not had the luck of it working again.
For the love of god, does someone have a solution for this problem because at this point I'm only becoming an expert at rebooting my PC?

Flash Player will not install: Asks for authentication of a proxy server.

Trying to install Flash Player. The installer asks for confirmation of a proxy server: American Family Online. This is a third party content filter that I used over 3 years ago, but no longer use. I cannot authenticate, since I do not use this service anymore. this prevents me from installing Flash Player. I cannot find a reference to this in browser settings or security settings and do not currently use a proxy server. What do I need to do to get past this and install Flash Player?
Thanks,
Prowler61

Could you check the progress of the install.
(1) Physical file location
The DLL is deposited in this folder:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
Can you find NPSWF32_11_9_900_170.dll there?
(2) Registry entry
If the file exists, the next link in the chain is the registry entry Adobe leaves for Firefox to find.
If you are comfortable using RegEdit, that should be here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MozillaPlugins\@adobe.com/FlashPlayer

HT1977 I purchased an app in ITunes but it will not install on my ipod

I've followed all steps in the "Help" section & still cannot resolve. I've never had good luck with Apple's response to these issues. Any advice?

Is the app compatible with your iPod model and iOS?
Do you have a Restriction set that would prevent installing that app? Settings>General>Restrictions
Have you successfully syced apps from this iTunes library/conmputer before?
What happens when you try to directly redownload the app to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
