Windows 8 not detecting SuperDrive post Apple driver installation.

I just installed windows 8 on my IMac, and everything went fine. Except, now my SuperDrive isn't detected in Windows. It was working fine before I installed all the apple drivers. Any thoughts?

I had the same experience.  However, I got it working by disconnecting from the USB port and reconnecting.
Hope that helps!

  • Registry edit Apple requires is causing windows to not detect files on the DVD drive

    Registry edit Apple requires is causing windows to not detect files on the DVD drive. If I set up the registry it requires then the files will not be dected & if I do it the way windows requires then the files will be detected but ITunes will not be able to use the optical drive. Is there any kind of patch or something someone can help me with?
    Thanks O'Bie

  • Windows did not detect any networking hardware, Windows 7, New Hard Drive

    Message "Windows did not detect any networking hardware"
    Satellite P505 S8980 Windows 7 Home Premium.
    I replaced the Toshiba 500 GB HD with 500 GB Seagate.
    Device Manager icon for any device with yellow exclamation mark,
    Click on "Update Driver".  Lan eNet details as follows:
    Antheo - R8132 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20)
    Browse to the folder where the setup program has the driver...
    Message: "The best driver software is already installed."
    (But the yellow exclamation mark still harasses me.)
    --- Go to "Setup new connection" ---
    "Choose a connection option"
    Click on "Connect to the Internet"
    Response: "Windows did not detect networking hardware"
    As near as I can tell, that translates from error 0x8E5E0247
    I have this same error on other yellow exclamation marks respective of what kind of device it is.
    => To test my sanity, I put the old hard drive (same size) back in and except for the impact of slowness due to error retries, everything works okay.
    Note:
    Same issue (hardware not detected) for Video adapter and Audio.
    I bought new USB Wireless adapter to test, and the driver installed but not activated because "not digitally signed", and that same issue fits all the above hardware.  I down loaded them from Toshiba, and they are confirmed installed, but not accepted with digitally signed.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled with same results.
    Solved!

    I'm discovering I am not as well as I thought... running on the  AF hard drive which was built with a copy drive from old format drive which was the product of system recovery disc set.
    Review for context: Advanced Function HDD
    Scenario that exposes harm caused by cloning data from 4K blocks drive to 512 bytes blocked drive (AF)
    Toshiba supplied Windows-7 System Restore Discs: to factory state
    Then I built the Windows-7 Repair  Disc... used later.
    Hard drive was replaced when it caused SMART warning at every system boot.
    Acronis was only utility that quickly detected problem (3 sectors had permanent read errors.) Active@Disk Image and Power Quest Drive Image (Ghost) did not detect the issue.
    I tried Seagate 500 GB and Western digital 500 GB HDD drives as copy target.
    That new drive would not boot: "Required source not found"
    Booted My newly created Windows-7 repair disc, and used to to fix startup.
    See images.
    That worked and then the ST9500423AS disc booted.
    Now... next day I discovered Window Update is not working.
    I get message:
    Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You need to restart your computer.
    I ran Microsoft Fixit for updates.  It says it fixed two items.
    I still have the problem.
    The service shows "started"
    Control Panel/ ACTION Center/ Maintenance/ Check for Updates
     "No action needed"
     "Windows Update does not require any action"
    I checked  Update History...
    ... It is empty, else window is vacant... blank.
    Soooo..... for a sanity check, I swap out hard drive; go back to the old format (which is the one I copied).
    It works!  7 updates to install, including SP1... but I did NOT install them.
    Switch back to the AF drive... Update doesn't work. I am broke again.
    Is this another strange problem caused by the Advance Format issue?
    What to do?
    By the way... I did install an Intel storage Matrix driver  update, but I do not have RAID chip, so that driver is not for me... unless I missed out on something.

  • Surface Pro 3 / "Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter"

    Hi all,
    I've been running the Windows 10 Technical Preview (9926) on my Surface Pro 3 successfully
    since January. Unfortunately, I lost all internet connectivity today.
    The problem started when I noticed the type cover wasn't working (pressing keys on the type
    cover wasn't registering any typing on my screen) and my USB mouse wasn't working either. I tried removing and reattaching the type keyboard but this didn't fix the issue. I had to use the accessibility on-screen keyboard to sign into Windows (thankfully touch
    was still working). Once I signed in, I still didn't have typing or cursor ability, so I decided to restart the computer.
    Then it got worse. I noticed the Surface Pro 3 was stuck on "restarting" and wouldn't
    actually restart. Since it wasn't responding, I held down the power button for about 10 seconds until it turned off. When I turned it back on, the type cover and mouse started working again.
    Unfortunately, this is when the WIFI problems began. I had WIFI for a few seconds, and then
    I lost internet. I disconnected/reconnected but there was a yellow triangle telling me there was some sort of problem. So I restarted the Surface Pro 3.
    When it came back on, there were suddenly NO connections available at all. Opening the "Network
    & Internet" settings page gave me the message "Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter". And here I am, without internet on my Surface Pro 3, borrowing my friend's computer so I can type this message (he is also running
    Windows 10 build 9926 on his laptop and is able to connect to my WIFI with no problems, whereas my Surface Pro 3 cannot even detect any networks). I have not dropped or damaged the SP3 in any way, and there have been no storms or power outages or anything
    of that sort. Any ideas what could have happened to the WIFI on my Surface Pro 3?
    Thanks for your help...
    Ethan

    Hi Ethan,
    Currently, there are a few compatibility issue between the current hardware and Windows 10 Technical Preview (9926 build), this is mostly related to driver compatibility issue.
    I suggest you download the latest network adapter driver package to install, when it is finished, check if it appears under Device Manager.
    Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 2, and Surface Pro firmware and driver packs
    https://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/networking-and-connectivity/install-wireless-drivers
    You can check if you can install the latest firmware package for your device.
    Here is an article to talk about such things:

  • Why windows 8 consumer preview is not detecting my cd/DVD drive?

    I installed windows 8 consumer preview on my imac. I installed all the latest drivers successfuly but the os is not detecting the cd drive. What should I do?

    Did you use the SETUP method? or the ISO method? and did you do a clean install?
    I've installed 8 on 3 systems, all clean installs - I learned the hard way with 8 DP that an upgrade isn't a good choice.
    It detected your DVD to install Windows, right?
    This is a PUBLIC preview and no one needs NDA for using it.
    Seeing that you said "CD" I take it this is external and not internal? USB? Firewire? SuperDrivie? Some people can't use their superdrive when placed in an external USB/FW case in order to boot and install Windows 7. And that is not a Winidows issue so much as an Apple issue with not supporting a normal Windows feature.
    Maybe you installed something? and CD stopped after that? Not all programs and drivers are and even if you "successfully installed" Apple drivers, not to say they are safe to use on your system.

  • K7T Turbo LE - Windows XP Pro SP-1 is not detecting my CD ROM drive I used to install XP Pro !!!!!!!

    This is an XP driver issue that I'm not sure how to resolve.
    This is a brand new K7T Turbo (MS-6330) Limited Edition motherboard (red-colored board, not green), Ver. 3 (no RAID controller on-board)
    PSU is 400w (I tried another PSU, same issue)
    Athlon 850MHz socket-A
    CD-ROM drive - Yamaha CDR2100E 16x10x40  UDMA-1
    The BIOS is 3.6, updated prior to Windows XP's installation
    The VIA 4-in-1 drivers were updated with the latest available on MSI's website for the 6330
    2 hard drives installed on the primary controller - one set to master, one set to slave
    CD-ROM drive is the only device on the secondary controller, set to master with no slave, and is plugged-into the end IDE cable connector
    The board detects the cd drive, and I even installed Windows XP Pro WITH this cd-rom drive, installed as currently configured, which is what pisses me off.  I've installed XP four times today, try different things between installs, and nothing.  The drive works FINE outside of XP, but as soon as XP starts, the drive disappears and XP doesn't even detect it.  Also, while booting up, the start screen will lock up (activity bar freezes and hard drive activity stops) for about ten seconds (but everything's hooked-up right... I'm not a PC rookie!).
    HELP!  Please oh please help!!!!  I'm getting aggravated!
    Thanks!

  • Apple, Pfft!!! (Another iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes post)

    How in the world does Apple market the iPod, etc... as if 10-year olds and grandmothers can operate the technology, when having viewed these message boards for 10 hours yesterday, it seems as even the tech savy people who can make a computer out of two pieces of bread and a piece of bologna have to wrack their brains to make it come a step closer to actually working. Blah!!!
    Anyway, the problem that I am having is the problem that a lot of other people are having and seems to be the main theme at the moment.
    I am unable to have iTunes recognize my iPod. My PC will once-in-a-blue-moon recognize the iPod as its own drive in Windows Explorer, but mostly all I get is the big freeze. Every time I connect my iPod to the USB, all of the programs cease to operate until I unplug it. I am not having memory problems either.
    Here's what I've done. I have updated the iPod Updater to the 06-23-06 version. I was able to get it to update the software on my 60GB iPod. I got all excited only to then have it give me several error messages 1) an internal manager error and 2) some unable to dock or something like that (sorry I'm not at my home cpu.) Once while I was doing the 4-hour battery charge my iPod came up in the source list in iTunes, but I have been unable to have it be rerecognized.
    I've unistalled and reinstalled iTunes and the iPod Updater over 10 times and have gone through the 5 Rs as well as all of the steps on
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716 (My iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes)
    I've even messed with msconfig and tried a whole bunch of other suggestions. It doesn't seem that Apple has a fix for this problem and we are all left with paperweights.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks you all and condolences to everyone who is going through this same problem. I swear what happened to plug and play. Pfft!!!

    You know they are probably going to search me out and crash my computer for posting this but i had the same problem with iTunes. i spent hours, went through the 50000 "R's" and changed my settings and formatted and reset and reloaded and then i tried Realaudio. it found all the songs i had loaded into iTunes and put them on my shuffle first try. you can get Realaudio at <www.real.com> Let me know how it works...

  • Thinkpad Edge S430 - Windows does not detect external display connected via HDMI

    On a Thinkpad S430 with HD4000 integrated graphics, an external display connected via a HDMI cable is not detected at all when using Windows. The system is fully updated as of the time of posting this message, both via the Lenovo Update tool as well as Windows update.
    The Intel driver version is 8.15.10.2696. It appears that this is the latest version, since it does not offer an update when I try to auto-update it via Device Manager.
    NB: I am running Ubuntu 12.04 with kernel 3.4.0 on the same machine, and the external display works perfectly fine with this software configuration.
    Hence I think that it's very likely that this is a Windows-specific driver issue.
    Would Lenovo happen to have a driver update in the works? Alternatively, I will be thankful for any suggestions about possible resolution of this problem.

  • Access Connections Windows 7 Not detecting port

    hey everyone, been having this issue where a windows 7 machine does not detect a local lan port when docked in thus not switching off wireless and onto the LAN. I've been running all of the other XP machines and it appears that they detect and ask which location they are. All of the machines don't have gateways on them. is there a way to get the windows 7 machines to detect and switch over without using a gateway?

    Hi, yesterday i talked to HP customer support executive and he provide me following link : http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=ob_147188_1&swEnvOid=4063# After installing the driver the issue was same but at night when i was surfing internet using LAN cable all of sudden i saw "Device Driver Installation" notification at right down corner of my laptop. I was using LAN cable since my Wifi was creating problems. After that i opened device manager and i was shocked because all network driver including bluetooth, wifi are there in network adapter tab. I reboot my laptop more then 10 times and i observed wifi is working fine. I am not getting why my laptop behaving so random.  

  • Windows 7 Not Detecting Nvidia Card. Gt70 670MX GPU.

    So I downgraded from windows 8 to windows 7 and have recently discovered my computer is using the Intel HD 4000 instead of the correct Nvidia 670MX. When I disable the Intel Hd the system restarts and displays stuff but the nvidia program says it can not detect an nvidia gpu. When I re enable, the nvidia driver detects the gpu but does not use it (directx diag shows the intel hd 4000). Any help would be greatly appreciated because I would hate to have to reformat back to windows 8.

    Dxdiag will not use the NVidia card. Ignore it, as it's stupid to rely on it for anything.
    You can't use the NVidia card 100% of the time. You need to use the Intel HD4000 when you're not gaming, as that's what it's meant for with Optimus.
    Sometimes you need to make sure that it is switching to the NVidia card when you need it for a game or for whatever it is you're doing that you need it. This usually involves making a custom profile within the NVidia control panel. I have not played a game yet where I did NOT have to add it. I'd add it anyway, just to be sure that it's working correctly. Once you add the game, and tell it to use the NVidia high performance adapter (instead of the Intel integrated adapter), it should work just fine and hopefully increase your FPS.
