Windows 8 doesn't recognise EOS 1100d

I have a Canon EOS 1100D which isn't connecting to my home computer which has recently been installed with windows 8. On the laptop it works (which also has windows 8). I have downloaded the updated driver but when you turn the camera on it the computer just doesn't recognise it. If I go into 'control panel' then 'devices' it shows the canon icon there as a device but with an explanation mark beside it. When I right click it says it doesnt have an updated driver.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Thanks for thr ideas but I've tried changing usb ports. At the same port though if you put a usb storage stick in it does recognize it.. the computer makes a noise like it knows something is connected but camera turns off after not long and you cant access the photos. It works on laptop which I find strange

Computer won't recognise EOS 1100D

I have and EOS 1100D and recently it has stopped connecting to computers. I've tried laptops and my stationary computer which the camera has worked with before. It doens't seem to be a problem with the cable because I've tried several of them and the computer just says "USB device not recognized. The last USB device you connected to this computer malfuntioned and Windows does nit recognise it. Reccomendation; Try recconecting the device. If Windows still does not regognize it, your device may not be working properly". I have windwos 8.1. I've tried restarting, reconnecting, removing and putting the memory card back in, charging it, putting it into other usb hubs and I am really starting to panic beacuse I do not want to spend more money on this.

Have you installed the Canon software on the computer? I think you'll at least need EOS Utiilities installed, to be able to connect via the USB cord. Even if you have it installed, it might be worth updating to see if that resolves the problem. Alternatively, have you checked for updates to your computer operating system (Windows 8.1)? Or have you recently done an update that might have undone something, since it sounds as if you were able to connect the camera previously? You may need to do an update, do another update or patch, or even undo a recent change to correct the problem. It's possible the USB cable itself has failed. Worst case, the mini USB socket in the camera is damaged and not communicating properly. This would be expensive to repair, since the socket is usually part of the main board of the camera and that would likely have to be completely replaced. ***********

WINDOWS XP DOESN'T RECOGNISE USB FOR IPOD NANO 2GB

HELP!
We recently bought 2 i pod nanos in Florida, returned to the UK where we set about connecting them to our pc - pc doesn't even recognise the USB cable, but does recognise a friend's nano which we have tried. We didn't get a cd with the ipods, can someone please give us some advice? apple support website useless.
Thanks in advance

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
Then try with the iPod in forced disk mode.

Still no joy, See if any of these articles help.

Windows 7 doesn't recognise iphone4

Windows 7, latest Itunes 10 loaded, iphone 4 connected shows 'unknown device' in the devices window. 'Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems'. (code 43). I have tried cleaning all traces of Apple products including Bonjour, Quicktime etc, rebooted, and reloading numerous times (havingcleaned every scrap of earlier downloads). Still the same result. Itunes does not show the device either.
I bought the iphone after many years of resisting due to dislike of Itunes and its exclusivity with AAC but once it opened up I decided to buy the iconic phone..what a disaster! I have spent a whole day, 8 hours, trying to get this wretched phone to be recognised and to sync' with Itunes music etc...no joy at all. Apple should be ashamed of itself, especially when you see how many people have the same problems. I will use it as a phone (too large, poor signal reception etc ) but as a smart phone to use with my computer, sync contacts, and play music it is a load of useless rubbish. Anyone able to recommend a fix that will restore its image in my eyes? Thanks for any suggestions.

K8N Master2 FAR: Windows 2003 doesn't recognise install to RAID SATA

Summary for those that cant be bothered reading:
PCI slot: 1 gfx card:
SATA 1+2: WD HD.
Raid 1 used.
-Trying to install Windows 2003 small business server premium.
-Installed SATA drivers (both from floppy).
- Generally windows will stop at 'Setup is starting windows'
It has gone past that point and gets to the drive select/install screen BUT:
-- Using the drivers from the floppy disc, the RAID1 array shows up, but shows boths drives. From my experience it should just show one drive, the array. Both bus/ID were the same and it said they were on nvatabus.
-- Without using the drivers from the floppy it shows both drives, same bus/ID but on atapi.
Tried installing windows but it won't boot after install. No matter what I choose to boot from (Tried NVida array first but I got desperate and tried booting from every other device using ESC @ boot).
Mainboard faulty?
END SUMMARY
K my spec should be in my profile sig so thats sorted.
The problem I'm having is driving me insane(er). The two WD sata drives are plugged into sata1/sata2. raid is enabled in the bios and on the sata channels. Made the drives mirrored using RAID 1. Ok thats all ok so far.
Start the windows 2003 small business server premium and press f6 so it asks for the raid drivers. Select both the raid driver and nvidia storage controller drivers (I've tried just choosing only 1 as well).
Ok so after this it carries on until it gets to "Setup is starting windows" (something like that). Generally at this point it will hang. I've left it for a while incase for some weird reason its going slow - nothing happens. So I read the MS KB and it said to disable and remove everything not needed. Well there wasn't anything to remove physically from the board so I tried disabling bios stuff. Disabled: lan/audio/1394/serial/parallel i think that was all. So I tried again.
Same thing happens. Try a few more times, using both drivers on the floppy disk like before. Strangely enough once it worked. HMMM. Next problem is when it got to the drive select screen, there were two drives there . From previous experience raided drives show up as one. Both drives were though on the same ID and Bus and on nvatabus...(something...) . So I thought, maybe thats just the way this board works.
Installed windows fine, reboot and won't boot. The raid array is marked to boot. Tried manually choosing boot device with ESC. Tried reinstalling again not using the floppy raid drivers and it picks up both drives, this time same id/bus but on atapi, not prefixed with nv.
Why is this such a problem? I just want to raid 1 two drives and install windows to them!

Thats the whole point. The two drives were set as raid1 in the raid bios, as described in the manual. The raid1 array was described as 'healthy'. Windows install kept seeing the 'array' as two seperate drives. I've used raid many times before and never had this.

Windows doesn't recognise my iphone 4s, but it will see my wife's iphone 4s

Hi
I am having trouble with my iphone 4s. Basically I plug it into my PC and the computer makes the noise that it has been connected but it does not recognise the device.
It does not appear in any way in device manager, nor does it start the autostart thing, or anything.
However, if i plug my wifes iphone 4s into the PC (exactly the same phone, we got them at the same time), then the PC does recognise her phone and it appears in the My Computer list.
Because of that I think that it is a problem with the phone and not the computer. The computer happily recognises the second iphone, but not my one.
I cannot think of anything different on my phone than my wifes apart from a few silly game apps and the fact that I have wifi turned on in my phone and connected to my home wifi, while my wife doesnt have wifi on. However, when I turn wifi off (and restart the phone even) it still does not connect.
I don't have any photo's at all in my iphone, so it can't be the problem with 'foreign pictures' that people talk about. I do have some video's in there, but they are all in my itunes too (which also doesn't recognise my phone).
I am on
iphone iOS 5.1.1
Windows 7 (64 bit)
I am completely stumped. I am hoping that I won't have to completely wipe my iphone to factory settings (and have to write out all my numbers by hand in case the itunes backup doesnt work).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Cheers

You don't have to wipe anything, but when you get a chance make sure you backed up to icloud.
What that means is your contacts inside of the phone either physically or liquid damaged. To check
which, you can look inside and if you see a little pink, that would give you a water damage. If you don't
see pink it means that you to many times plugged in that charger the other way or tried to. May be
used some other things to plug in. If you flash the light in you may be able to see those contacts.
If I were you, i would not believe me, good luck!

Windows doesn't recognise I-pod, "hardware not found"

Hi all,
I've looked on many different sites including this forum, but can't find an answer to my problem. I've tried to connect my new I-pod classic 80gb to my computer (windows XP) but it doesn't recognise it. The computer gets as far as the "found new hardware" window. It will then try to install the ipod, but can't find a driver for it. It says "the wizard cannot find the necessary software". If I go into the Computer Management the Ipod is visible, but with a question mark icon beside it.
The ipod connects to my husband's pc without trouble! His pc is older than mine. I can't work out why it won't work on my pc. Needless to say the ipod doesn't show up in i-tunes, either.
I would be very grateful for any help! Thanks in advance.

Try resetting the ipod first, it`s in the menue list at the bottom.
Remove and reconnect the plug into the ipod.
Boot up the PC wait until stable.
Connect USB connector to a different USB port than the one you have been using.
Check for the safely remove hardware icon in the row of icons near the clock icons.
If still not working I would suspect a corrupted windows file or the regestry files need cleaning up if you are confident to do it.
The easy way if you think it was worth it is to reset your PC to factory settings but this would mean copying your personal files to a disc or a external drive.Reloading loads of windows patches.It takes 2-3 hours, it`s a pain but it should get you over your problem.
Even easier take your PC and IPOD to a computor repair person and get them to sort it, at a price of course.

Since i installed windows 7 itunes doesn't recognise my ipod touch anymore. windows shows it as a digital camera

I just installed windows 7 because my computer was infected by a virus. Before i had windows vista. Now when i try to connect my ipod with the latest version of itunes, itunes doesn't recognise it anymore.
Windows recognises the ipod touch only as a digitalcamera.
I already shut down my firewall for every apple software product i had on my pc. And i updated itunes already.

Have you tried here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

I have restored my iPod classic and everything has been wiped off, now when I connect it to the laptop, iTunes doesn't recognise it and windows won't format it, an error message comes up "unable to format"

It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

Windows doesn't recognise my reset iPod

A couple of days ago my iPod started flicking through songs of it’s own accord, as though I was pressing on the “Forwards” button repeatedly. I Reset it and now I get Three graphics appearing on the screen: The Apple Logo, A Sad iPod and a Battery (low on power).
Now Windows (XP home) doesn’t recognise the iPod (even on disk mode) so I can’t update or restore it. I’ve also tried reinstalling iTunes and that didn’t work either. How can I get my iPod working again?
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks

I-mac superdrive doesn't recognise genuine windows disc

My late 2009 27" i-5 imac doesn't recognise the windows install disc when I insert it.
Running bootcamp 4.01, its a genuine Windows 7 Home Premium
doesn'tshow up on he desktop (or anywhere else) and is ejected after a few minutes.
' The installer disc could not be found' comes up
It isn't the disc as my old white intel core 2 duo macbook recognises it.
Is there anything I can do?
thanks in advance

it is indeed a superdrive problem. It plays everything apart from DVDs. It's now in the apple store getting a new superdrive.

Malware can cause digital signing issues, I would run a malware check with the free version of MalwareBytes:

After that, the is a Microsoft fixit for:

This software will not be installed. Contact your system administrator.

Satellite A100 PSAA5A Windows doesn't recognise ethernet controller

Hi,
I'm having an issue with an A100 PSAA5A-01H00T running Win XP sp2.
Windows doesn't recognise an ethernet controller, hence the wireless NIC is not working, although the wired connection is.
I've tried installing the latest WLAN drivers from the support site (both of them), to no avail. Windows is insisting the appropriate drivers are not installed.
I suspect a hardware problem, and have the user on an external wireless NIC, but I'd appreciate any insight you guys can provide.
Thanks.

Hi mate
What Ethernet controller is not recognized? WLan or LAN?
Do you have some unknown devices in the device manager?
If yes, then a essential driver is missing and therefore the controller is not recognize properly.
You dont know what Wlan or LAN chip you have and what driver is necessary?
Check this:
How to identify an unknown device (e.g. Wireless LAN module)?

Lightroom 4.3 doesn't recognise and import my Canon 1100D files

My copy of Lightroom 4.3 all of a sudden doesn't recognise and import my Canon 1100D camera raw files.

Could you workaround by importing the raw files then immediately export them as DNG while using Add to This Catalog from the export dialog?
Then remove the raw files from the catalog if you wish?

Qosmio G30-163: Windows media encoder doesn't recognise video device

I cannot get Windows media encoder to recognise my video camera connected to S-video port (Qosmio G30-163).
I get similar problem with Marratech pro webconferencing application (it crashes after 15-20 second if I try to use it - during the time the application is frosen - in configuration I can see the test picture/video).
If I use InterVideo WinDVD Creator 2 Platinum bundled software for capturing video it works just fine.

Hi Nesko
In my opinion you see this issue a little bit wrong. You are right about some standards but you must know that every hardware manufacturers dont care much about that. Other way Toshiba as notebook producer can not test all cams and external devices with the unit and also all software you can find on the market. It is a mission impossible.
Qosmio is a multimedia unit and if you read specification about that you will see that you can do everything listed there (watch TV, connect camcorder and create own DVD movies etc.). Every one of us has some specific and unique wishes but nobody can guarantee that everything you want will work.
For example: since almost a year I have Qosmio G20. I have tested it with my camcorder, with VHS recorder using it with preinstalled and also third part software and for every situation I have found solution and it work somehow.
I really dont know which cam you have but if you want to have web conferencing without any problems you should by USB webcam with highest resolutions and frames per second. Web cam will be recognized and installed very fast and you can use it any time. Sorry but web conferencing via MCE and cam is not known to me.
Anyway you can try to contact support. Maybe they have some magic\solution. If you will find out how it works please write again. I am really interested if something like that is possible.
Good luck!
