IPod Touch 4th Gen isn't detected on Windows 7 Starter

Device: iPod Touch 4th Gen (lastest update)
iTunes Version: Latest Version
Operating System: Windows 7 Starter (A netbook computer)
My friend just started having this issue with his netbook where his iPod Touch will not be detected at all not even under My Computer. It will charge the device however it will not sync.
Before he had the iTunes Wifi Sync on, but it wasn't really working either for some odd reason.
On booting iTunes I noticed it kept coming up with the need to downgrade to be compatible for iTunes to run probably. I assume the latest version of iTunes cannot naturally run on Windows 7 Starter with downgrading to a lower compatiblity likely either it downgraded to Vista or XP compatibility.
I was wondering with it was an iTunes sync service was not turned on, but another friend had brought her iPhone and right away that device appeared in iTunes so it appears to be a issue with the iPod itself. We swapped usb cables in hopes that his older more worn cable may have been the issue, but still not luck.
We had used all of the following listed from this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. As well as another which I can't seem to find that had about 15 items to try.
So basically it doesn't show up as even a usb device in the "Device and Printers" window or as a device under "My Computer".
Thanks for your time.

- As asked for the versions since many users think that have the "latest" when they do not have the latest version/
- Q4: I said no that the iPod Touch 4G does not show up in iTunes/My Computer in my post. Please My question read my post.
My queston is does your iPod show up in iTunes when you conenct the iPod to another computer.
"If you connect the 4G iPod to another computer does it show in iTunes/My Computer?"
If no:
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Firefox 13 and 14 will not install properly on my windows 7 starter. Also I cannot get the Scrapbook addon to work. Can you tell me why ?

I have tried to install Firefox 13 and 14 on my netbook, running a Windows 7 starter OS. The installation begins to go smoothly from the setup.exe file; but after the installation seems complete, and I press the 'Open Firefox' button the firefox programme can be seen to start opening because it accumulates about 50mb of private bytes RAM on the windows task manager or on the 'process explorer' utility program by sysinternals. '''However the firefox screen/window never opens up and so firefox does not seem to be properly installed.'''' Also I have had problems with getting the Scrapbook" addon to install properly. I have another computer, a laptop, running XP Home, and I can get the Firefox 13 or 14 to install but it is on this other computer that I cannot get the 'Scrapook' addon to install properly; There is no notice on the Addon page saying the 'Scrapbook' addon does not work on Firefox 13 or 14, and the addon does install, but not properly, so it does not work.
I have the old Firefox setup.exe files, and so I have managed to install an old version, firefox 3 or 4, on an external hard drive. I have successfully got this old firefox to work on the XP Home laptop from an external hard drive, and can successfully use the 'Scrapbook' addon in this way.
I cannot understand why I have problems with Firefox 13 or 14. I think I first noticed the problem about 'Scrapbook' with Firefox 12.

It seems your Mozilla installation is broken. Try the following steps to fully uninstall Mozilla Firefox:
1. Uninstall Firefox as you would normally do.
2. Open a command prompt as administrator.
3. By using the cd and rd command, remove Firefox AppData and Roaming folders, for example:
C:\Users\USERNAME> cd AppData
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData> cd Local
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local> cd Mozilla
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Mozilla> rd /s Firefox
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Mozilla\*.* - Are you sure? (y/n) y
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Mozilla> cd ..
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local> cd ..
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\> cd Roaming
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming> cd Mozilla
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla> rd /s Firefox
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\*.* - Are you sure (y/n) y
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla > exit
Remember to press Enter each time.
4. After that, open a hard disk clean-up tool (such as CCleaner or Windows built-in) and remove all temporary files from your computer.
5. Restart your computer. Download '''again''' the Firefox package from [http://www.mozilla.org/es-ES/download/?product=firefox-14.0.1&os=win&lang=es-ES Mozilla official servers] and try to install Firefox. If the problem persists maybe your computer has a problem or is infected with viruses.
About the Scrapbook add-on, I could get it to work. It has no icon when docked to the toolbar, but you can anyway open it. Right-click a button on the toolbar, click Customize... find the Scrapbook icon, drag it to the bookmarks bar so you can see the icon and click on it to open it. Whenever you need to save a page, right-click that page and choose Save page.

Remote Panel not working in Windows 7 Starter

Hi all,
We have an application that can be controlled via remote panel. This is working fine in Windows XP PC. But when I try to access the same by opening Internet Explorer in a PC running Windows 7 Starter OS, I only get the 'Downloading 0.00% of 0 bytes'. I have disabled the Windows Firewall and there is no antivirus software also. What could be the reason for this? How could I solve this?
Thanks in advance,
Priyadarsini
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The system which had the problem was a netbook that came with Windows 7 Starter. We found out recently that there was some parental controls utility in the netbook that prevented the LabVIEW Remote Panel access. We were not aware of its presence & it had not shown any indication that it had blocked Remote Panel communication. We uninstalled this utility & the Remote Panel started working as intended. Thanks again for your help.

Just installed Firefox 3.6. Firefox will not start and Firefox safemode does not start either. Using Task manager I do not see if started either. If I create a new profile and start from that window, Firefox starts up. I see no error windows/messages. I do have it listed in my Firewall as an exception program with Permit All. What is happening?

I have windows 7 starter on my netbook and the latest version of Firefox seems to not do well. Ho do I get back to Firefox 4? Or is there another version/customizations that is better?

The latest version of Firefox tends to not agree with my windows 7 starter netbook. I get a lot of hangups and crashes. I would like to download Firefox 4 again but can't seem to find it on your site in order to download it. Do you have any other suggestions that would be a good fit for windows 7 starter?
Also, I keep getting messages saying that Firefox is causing high CPU and memory usage on my netbook.

Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended. Version 3.6.18 would be a safer choice.
Here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 5.
You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
Note: If you don't have Firefox ask you before updating, you may need to set that to prevent an automatic update back to Firefox 5. Tools > Options > Advanced, Update mini-tab

How can I get Firefox to run on Windows 8 Start page instead of my Desktop?

I have the Icon for Firefox on my Windows 8 Start page, but when I click on the icon to use the Internet my view goes straight to my desktop.

hi WarriorEthos, firefox on windows is a desktop-only application. it does not run in "metro" mode.

How do I pin a firefox site to the Windows 8 start screen?

I just got a new AIO with windows 8; not may favorite thing but I'm learning.
I use Firefox as my browser exclusively but Window 8 help, of course, won't explain how to pin sites through other browsers. I had to set up my desktop on my start screen so I can open Firefox from there and then I can start browsing with Firefox - but there has to be an easier way....I've tried to search through the Firefox support but I'm an accountant, not a techie and this is getting very frustrating. lol I hope someone can explain to me how to do this. And in very small words please - remember I'm bean-counter. :)
Thanks y'all.

jscher2000 - thanks for a really fast response!
Your links got me to get to clicking on other related links and I did find a site that was very easy to follow so I'm adding it here for you to give to others; has illustrations and''''' very''''' easy to follow instructions. Perfect to someone like me. I wouldn't have found it without you getting me started though.

CD/DVDW SN-S082D issue - Windows cannot start this hardware device Code 19

I've had my laptop for a little over a year now and it's had it's fair share of problems, most of which are fixable or there is a workaround.
Earlier today I inserted a disc into the drive and tried opening it up, went into "My Computer" and found the disc drive was not listed.
This has happened once or twice before and a simple restart fixes the problem.
I've restarted twice and this time the problem wasn't fixed, after going into "Device Manager" I found there was a problem with the device and it gave me the following error
"Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)
Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available."
As usual 'Check for soulutions' is useless and returned no results.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Some info that may help
OS: Windows Vista Home Premuim
Laptop Model / Number: Medion MD 98300
DVD Drive: TSSTCorp CD/DVD W SN-S082D ATA Device
Thanks

First of all I wonder why you post this here in the Toshiba forum if you dont have a Toshiba notebook
This is a little bit strange for me... anyway I will try to help you.
It seems that the registry keys are corrupt and therefore your CD/DVD drive cannot work properly.
Try simply the solution proposal mentioned here in the Microsoft doc:

Good luck

Windows cannot start

hi,
I have connected 8GB DiskToGo make pen drive in my Windows 7 32 bit enterprise edition. This is under Yellow Exclamatory mark. If I update the driver, i am receiving "Best Driver is installed already". Windows cannot start error code is 10
in the properties of the device.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943104
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978977
Kindly guide me how do i identify which is blocking the device to start. What are the logs should I refer and solve the problem.
Regards,
Boopathi S

Hi,
Let's verify these things:
Did it work fine with another USB cable or port, or on another computer?
If the drive does not work on the 2nd computer, the drive is probably defective.
If the drive works fine on another computer, there are a few steps to follow while the drive is connected to the original computer:
1. Right-click on Computer and choose Manage.
2. Double-click on the Device Manager.
3. The device will usually appear under "Other Devices" or "Unknown Devices"; right-click on it and choose Uninstall.
4. reinstall it for test.

Can't install hp solution centerin Windows 7 starter

In order to save money on color ink, which we rarely use, in my officejet 4500 g510n, I wanted to set all computers on the network to print with black ink only. To do this I have found that I must go thru the Hp Solution Center which I have accomplished on all but one. That one computer is a Dell inspiron mini netbook with windows 7 starter. I have tried uninstalling and redownloading the software from the HP support site to no avail. This computer only offers me minimal installation and it only installs the driver and no other software.
I know that I can choose the settings for printing black only each time there is a print command but the user of this computer cannot always remember how to do this and, if the color cartridge is low, the document will not print at all. It just gives a low ink warning. All this is troublesome and I would like to be able to set the printer to only use the black cartridge installed.
Is there any way I can get the full software package for this netbook?

Hi @ntmd8or
You can change the default printing to print black only without the software if you would like;
Follow these steps to change the default print settings for all print jobs.
On the Windows taskbar, click the Windows icon (), and then click Devices and printers.
Right-click the printer icon () for your product, and then click Printing preferences.
Select your new default print settings, and then click OK.
- Source
Or, we can go ahead and troubleshoot the computer to get the software installed. If you would like to get the software installed, please download and run the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows
The HP Printer Install Wizard for Window was created to help Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 users download and install the latest and most appropriate HP software solution for their HP Printer.

Booklet: clean install Windows 7 Starter on Kingst...

I bought a Kingston SSDNow V+180 SVP180S2/64G 64GB to replace the original HDD.
I had a lot of trouble cloning the drive (or actual the restore operation). Both restoring the Windows partition and the System partition failed.
I decide to start from scratch and just execute a clean install of Windows 7 Starter.
The advantage of this way is you only need a 4 Gb USB Flash Drive and no other hardware (besides the new 1.8 SSD...) This guide is also very useful when the original HDD is broken (and no system restore is available).
Ingredients (where to obtain is explained below):
- 1.8" SSD
- USB Flash Drive (minimum) 4Gb
- Windows 7 key of Booklet
- Windows 7 ISO file (x86 version)
- Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool
- Nokia Booklet Drivers
The Windows 7 key of the booklet can be found behind the battery. Just remove the battery pack and there is the original Microsoft Windows 7 product key.
As the Nokia Booklet doesn't have a DVD-ROM and it's not supplied with the Windows 7 DVD, you can download the Windows 7 ISO file from here (make sure it’s the x86 version):
http://msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net/msvista/pub/X15-65804/X15-65804.iso
I got this information from here: http://mrintech.com/download-iso-file-create-dvd-activate-windows-7-x86-and-x64-with-genuine-product...
I also executed the "Remove Edition Configuration (EI.cfg) File from Windows 7 ISO", but wait until proceeding; I will come back to that...
Also download the Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool from here:
http://images2.store.microsoft.com/prod/clustera/framework/w7udt/1.0/en-us/Windows7-USB-DVD-tool.exe (When the link is broken, just use Google).
Please note: nothing illegal is going on downloading this software!
Install and execute the Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool.
When asked, select the ISO as source and the USB Flash Drive as target.
The tool formats the USB Flash Drive and the files are copied to it as well.
(I executed this on a Windows 7 machine, but I don't expect differences when executed on a XP machine).
When the tool is ready do the following.
Search on the USB Flash Drive for the file "ei.cfg"
I used the tool to remove this file from the ISO, but it was back on the Flash Drive .
You will have to remove it otherwise Windows 7 Home is installed (result: you can't use the original Booklet key).
How to replace the HDD for the SSD can be found over here:
http://pc-level.com/2011/07/how-to-disassemble-nokia-booklet-3g/
Plug the USB Flash Drive into the Nokia Booklet and power the Booklet up.
Hit the F12 button and select the USB Flash Drive to boot from.
When asked, select Windows 7 Starter to install.
The installation takes a while, but in the end you will see the Windows 7 desktop and are almost ready.
It's very important to disable TRIM and you will see a an excellent performance increase when you execute the following:
Open the command prompt (for example):
Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt
type:
fsutil behavior set disabledeletenotify 1
To check whether TRIM is disabled execute:
fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify
The result should be: 1
Reboot the booklet, just to be sure.
Install the drivers from Nokia: http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/booklet-3g/software
Execute a Windows Update.
The Windows Experience Index shows me 5.9 with the SSD.

Don't worry Reserter, your English is ok
Concerning your problem two things come to mind:
- did you disable TRIM? It's very important to disable this option because the chipset can't handle TRIM. After I disabled TRIM a serious improvement was noticeable.
- the reason of the clean install initially was because I wanted a SSD (solid state drive) instead of a HDD (hard disk drive). The factory installed HDD is slow and a SSD drive improves performance of the Nokia Booklet dramatically.
I would consider to buy a 1.8" SSD... The booklet starts up in an acceptable time and is really useful as a netbook now. (buy an enclosure for the original HDD and you have external storage as well).
