Windows 7 doesn't detect my Canon MX850

Hi all,
I have a Canon MX850 printer connected to the network. Unlike other reports in this forum, Windows 7 doesn't detect my printer at all.
I can ping the printer and access it's network configuration page so network connectivit is not the issue (I even disabled the windows firewall, just in case).
Any clues where to go next?
Thanks,
S.

Hi,
Can the printer work fine on other machine on the network?
At this stage, you can refer to the following steps for a test.
1. Plug the printer to the Windows 7 machine directly and install the proper driver. For your reference, I have enclosed the latest driver for Windows 7 below:
Canon MX850 driver
Please Note: Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. This contact information may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information.
Is the printer working fine on the Windows 7 machine? If not, please let me know. Otherwise, you can put the printer back and connect it via network again.
2. If the printer still cannot be detected via network, I suggest you remove the original printer on the computer and recreate a new network printer icon.
For more information to access a network printer, please refer to the link below:

Thanks,

Windows doesn't detect Zen V Plus he

I've just purchased the Creative Zen V Plus 4gb for my girlfriend but windows doesn't want to detect it, I have followed the?online suggestions with no?luck. It shows in my device manager but with an exclamation mark next to it, I've tried re-installing the driver with?no luck. I've tried this with media player 0 and just updated to series but am still having the same problem. I think all I need is a driver for this player but the software that came with it is not helping me! I have a ipod which I use on the same usb port and that works fine so why doesn't the Zen work!?
Your help would be very much appreciated.

Did you try to connect your device to Windows Media Player , under "Sync" Did you download and install all latest drivers and software (see below) ZEN V Plus and then Windows Vista 32-bit. http://us.creative.com/support/downl...ype=0&x=27&y=3

Windows doesn't detect my Ipod

I have tried everything. Even trying to find the Ipod driver myself.
When I tried to install an update for my Ipod for version 2. to the newest.. No idea what happened, but it obviously failed, now on myipod it has the USB and arrow pointing to Itunes, obviously telling me to plug it in, when I do so, I just get the USB error sound from windows (the 3 low beeps), rather than the usual plug in USB sound..
Anyway, the reason for this, could have been Itunes kept popping up while I was on msn and typing a lot, and of course, Itunes has to be annoying and if you leave it for a minute or two, it will randomly pop-up, this happened several times while I was typing, so I didn't notice any of the errors that occured....
but, it could have even been cancelling it mid install, but now the result is, it doesn't work.
I have tried everything, Restarting my Ipod, Reconnecting it to Itunes, Re-installing Itunes, nothing works, I still get the 3 sound error of a USB being plugged in.
Link below for the sound:

Help me asap, please.
Andy

I have found the answer!
Right, okay guys I have found the solution, cos i'm a complete and utter computer nerd.
Firstly, you need to download 7-zip, this is an extracting software.
You extract the itunes.exe that you downloaded to anywhere, preferabely somewhere where you reemember. (Just right-click on itunes.exe and click Extract to...)
Okay, go to device manager, by typing in "devmgmt.msc" on start->Run. then, find any "unknown USB" drivers and uninstall them. Now unplug your Ipod.
Once you have done this, you need to find the file "AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi", which is one of the files that you just extracted, double click it, then, select Remove.
After you have removed it, you need to open this file again, and install it again. Once you have finished installing (best to the default location), Reboot your PC.
Wait for a while for your comp to be in idle mode, and make sure you cancel any "new hardware wizards" that may pop-up from before..
Now plug your Ipod in, and it should be easy from there, it should work!
It did for me.
Cheers,
your british 18 year old computer nerd.
Andy. (Better than the Itunes support).

My computer using Windows 8 doesn't recognize my Canon Rebel. How do I fix this?

My computer using Windows 8 doesn't recognize my Canon Rebel. How do I fix this?

Hi MWCRILLY,
To connect your camera to a Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer or Windows 8 computer, you'll need to change your camera's "Communication" mode.
To set your camera up for this, please do the following:
With the camera disconnected from the computer, turn the camera on. Press the "Menu" button. Now select the [Wrench, Hammer, 2] tab. Scroll down to "Communication" and press the "Set" button.
Select the [Print/PTP] and press "Set". This process is more completely described (and illustrated too!) on page 121 of your Digital Rebel XT instruction manual.
Now connect your camera to your computer and turn the camera on. Your computer should now recognize and have access to your Digital Rebel XT.
Unfortunately, Canon software cannot communicate with the Rebel XT when operating in this mode.
You may download your pictures using Windows Photo Gallery. If you haven't already done so, you may retrieve and install this program from Microsoft's download.live.com.

My Mac doesn't detect my windows DVD for bootcamp, help?

hi , i just grab my Windows 7 DVD for installing windows on Mac using bootcamp , but my mac doesn't detect my windows installation disc in boot menu... how to resolve?

You're not alone - I'm installed Windows (8 Pro 64-bit) on a MacBook Air Mid 2013 yesterday from the OEM/system builder media, and Boot Camp Assistant 5.0.4 didn't recognize the DVD. It asked for an .iso disk image instead, and I created one in a UNIX geek way**, but if you're an average mac user, you'll want to create one using the Disk Utility:
1) Open the Disk Utility. This is in the Utilities folder (go to a finder window and type command-shift-u)
2) Click on your DVD to select it.
3) In the File menu, select New -> Disk Image from "HRM_CCSA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV5"… (or your Windows disk title)
4) In the Save sheet, select Image Format: DVD/CD master. The Disk Utility saves this with the file extension/type .cdr, but this is the same file format as .iso. When the Disk Utility has finished, find the file you save and change the file extension to .iso.
5) Launch Boot Camp Assistant and select the .iso file as the source of your Windows installation.
Since I have a MacBook Air, the windows source was copied by the Boot Camp Assistant to a USB flash drive. MacOS X restarted and Windows was installed automatically, but the Boot Camp driver installer wasn't automatically launched at the end of the Windows install. I opened the flash drive's BootCamp folder and double clicked setup.exe.
Voila! The best trackpad anywhere! Network! Sound! Brightness control from the keyboard! The best Windows 8 computer!
** In Terminal: diskutil list; diskutil unmount /Volumes/HRM_CCSA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV5; sudo dd if=/dev/disk2 of=win8pro.iso. Use the output of 'diskutil list' to match your Windows 8 CD/DVD to a disk# for the 'dd' command. Be very careful.

Skype doesn't detect webcam on new windows 8 lapto...

I have a new laptop pre-shipped with windows 8. I installed skype via the skype download page, and after the install I see that it does not detect my webcam.
I go to Tools->Options and skype doesn't detect that any webcam exists on the system.
I've changed the windows 8 webcam privacy settings to allow skype to use my webcam, though I'm not clear if this affects the normal old desktop skype or that new metro skype (I'm not even quite clear if those are two separate applications, that whole metro thing is still just weird and unuseable to me, not sure why I'd ever want skype to take over the whole desktop as it does if you go into it from the metro interface).
There are tons of results for webcams not woring in skype, but after going through many of them they don't seem to cover this case of "skype just doesn't detect the webcam in windows 8".

Windows Vista doesn't detect Zen V P

I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem. My laptop has Windows Vista on it, but it will not detect my Zen V Plus when I plus it in. My computer at work, which has Windows XP Professional, detects the player just fine.
Thanks,
Lauren

My Computer Doesn't Detect My Camera

My computer doesn't detect my camera! Can someone help? (If you haven't noticed, I created this account just to ask this question! Help is greatly appreciated!)
I recently had to do a system restore on my computer. After I restored, I tried to upload photos from my Powershot A4000 IS camera to my computer (I had done it before successfully) only to find that the Autoplay window didn't pop up (like it usually did) and the Hardware Fail sound played. I then tried to start my CameraWindow software manually, but it said my camera wasn't connected. I have several Usb ports on my computer, and I tried all of them. Nothing happened! I'm sure that I'm not missing any essential Canon software and my camera isn't damaged; I barely use it, and the Powershot A4000 support page claimed that I didn't need any extra drivers for my edition of Windows! Help!
P.S. My OS is Windows Vista SP2.

Stupid_Computer,
There are some additional questions I would like to ask that will help me determine what is wrong.
1. Have you tried connecting your camera to a different computer?
2. Do other computers fail to recognize the camera?
3. Do you have any other devices connected to the computer, like a printer, scanner, webcam, external hard drive, etc?

Hello andreaparra,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I found the following article that will help you in resolving this issue, where none of your devices are being recognized by iTunes.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If you get to the part where it asks you to uninstall iTunes, even though you have done it before, be sure to uninstall iTunes and the other components in the order listed.
Take care,

My computer doesn't detect my Vision M 30

It started with my player working however the screen was scrambled. I couldn't read anything. So I did the clean-up, format and reset the firmware but now my Vision M turns on and says there is a firmware problem and it says to reload the firmware. The screen is also still scrambled. So I hook it up to my computer but it doesn't detect it. Where is this firmware and How do I get the firmware on my player when my computer doesn't detect it's? I'm lost and don't want to send it in, if I don't have to. Please help!

When you "reset" the firmware, you actually erased it. You can download the firmware from the Creative downloads page. You should check Windows Device Manager to confirm that it is connected, as the Creative programs, like MediaSource won't detect the player if it hasn't booted to an operational mode. As for the screen, something has probably gone bad in either the screen or the main logic board sending the image to the screen, but of course that also brings up the question as to how you were able to read the "Firmware Problem" message.

Screen Saver when calling and need to use the Keypad, the screen saver doesn't detect the phone has left the ear and blanks out the screen. Even ending a call is difficult as the screen blanks out within seconds

I have to use the Keypad a lot when making calls. Make the call, the Robot then asks to enter a number for a service, pull the phone down from the ear, the screen may light up for a second, but then the screen saver cuts in, blanking the screen out. Sometimes you hit the Home Key to awaken the sccreen, enter your number and then back to the ear to hear the next set of instructions. Back and forth just trying to enter the options is a pain. Sometimes even trying to end the call, the screen blanks out and you fight to try and end a call.
If I use the Speaker function the keypad works; the speakler phone is not alway appropriate.
It appears that the phone gyro, doesn't detect the phone has moved from the ear to the viewing angle. This wasn't an issue until recently and I can't remeber if it's the iPhone 5 or one of the updates. It definitly wasn't there earlier on, as I threw away an Windows 6.5 phone for the same problem.
I'm not sure if it's a hardware or software (design) issue.

It is not the gyro. This has everything to do with the iPhone's prioximity sensor.
Are you using a case that may be blocking or partially blocking the proximity sensor? If you are using the case, remove the case prior to the next call to see if the same occurs without the case.
