Windows cannot find device driver for my ipod mini

Just got my new laptop and downloaded latest version of iTunes, but my iPod mini does not appear as a source. It appears in Device Manager but not My Computer. Any suggestions?

Not sure if these are applicable to Vista but worth a try.
USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date.
iPod not recognized on a Windows laptop.
iPod not recognized on a Toshiba laptop.

  • VISTA - can;t find device driver for your IPOD - read the solution here!

    It would appear that VISTA is rather stupid when it comes to the Ipod - it can't find the driver for itself. Do the normal autmatic way of trying to find the driver (that doesn't find the device) then look in the hardware device list (control panel) you should see you Ipod listed under other devices with a yellow triangle next to it. Right click this line and select "properties". then click "update device driver". Then, DON'T do the automatic find, instead click "I will choose the device from a list". Click on "storage device" and voila! VISTA now finds a USB mass storage device and installs it - JOB DONE! HOORAY!
    good luck!

    When you are prompted to look for a driver input
    C:\WINDOWS\System32 and browse it will find a generic
    volume that fixes it.
    I tried this as well. I can find a Generic Volume (I think it lists SD, MMC- neither of which seem correct), but neither of those helps. iPod still isn't recognized as a drive even in disc mode. I started another thread after not finding this one. I'm not sure why USB Mass Storage device isn't one of the options.

  • Cannot load device driver for DVD/CDRW - Satellite 1110

    I have a Satellite 1110 and something has gone wrong with my DVD/CDRW and it will not read any CDs. It is reported as a MAT****A UJDA730 DVD/CDRW but the device status comes up as:
    "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the device but the error just returns. I cannot find a driver for it either on the manufacturer's web site or Toshiba's. I don't want to use the Product Recovery CD-ROM as it implies I will lose all software and data on the hard drive.
    Can someone advise how to recover from this situation?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Firstly you dont any driver for the CD/DVD drive. The drive uses the standard Windows OS driver and its not necessary to install it additional.
    I assume there could be something wrong with the registry entry.

  • I cannot find my receipt for my ipod how can i prove it isnt a year old

    I cannot find my receipt for my ipod and its under a year old how can i prove this

    Hi cantfindanything,
    I am gathering you are trying to get an iPod repaired by Apple.
    In the US for iPod Touch Generation 5:
    Every iPod comes with a one-year limited warranty and 90 days of complimentary telephone technical support.
    If you are trying to get a replacement or repair job, Apple will just need your Serial Number, found on either the back of your iPod Touch or in: Settings, General, About, Serial Number.
    When Apple receives this number, their database will be able to show up your information including device purchase and activation.
    To get a repair job/replacement, it is best to talk to Apple on the phone or go to your nearest Apple store to find out possible resolutions.
    To contact Apple call:
    1-800-MY-APPLE
    You can also take the iPod into your closest Apple Store and give them your serial number and they will be able to help you: http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/
    Many Thanks for your question and Happy New Year!

  • Windows vista, Ipod shuffle 4th gen.  Computer cannot find device driver software for ipod.

    After several hours trying the troubleshooting options provided by the apple support site, I have come to what I think is the issue here.  My girlfriend recently got an ipod shuffle and when plugging it into her computer the dialog pops up saying it is installing device driver software for the ipod.  Eventually it asks me to insert the CD that came with the ipod.  No CD came with the ipod, so I click the option that says "I do not have my cd".  Then it gives me the option of searching automatically or manually for the driver software.  The automatic way can't find it.  Doing it manually, with the help of the troubleshooting page, didn't work either.  google search can't seem to help me on this one.  Also, I tried plugging the ipod into my computer (not hers) and it worked fine, it was able to install the device driver software on its own.  Does anybody know the issue here?  My computer has windows 7, and hers has vista.  Hers is Serice Pack 1.  When I tried installing service pack 2 it wouldnt work.  I don't know if that is the issue though.  I have tried just about everything, I think the issue is finding the device driver software.  When I do a google search nothing comes up, so I have no idea what to do at this point.  Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Well its surprising to know that! But even  have an ipod shuffle 3rd gen n dint face any problem like that. FYI no cd comes with the ipod jus take ur ipod to an apple exoert n he will solve ur problem .

  • HT201302 pc with Vista cannot find device driver software for 3GS

    Windows Explorer cannot the iPhone.  iTunes sees the 3GS, the memory alloted to pictures, but does not show over 1500 pics.  iTunes only recognizes pics in files on PC.  There are under 50 in the files.
    When I plug in the iPhone, it searches for the device driver, but cannot find one. 
    The iPhone is appearing in Control Panel / Auto Play.  Changing this setting makes no difference.
    The iPhone also shows up in Control Panel / Device Manager as a Portable Device referred to as a Digital Still Camera, it has a yellow yield icon on it.  It says it has the correct driver. Also, below the camera listing is 5 other devices.  They are all the same listing of "Microsoft WPD FileSystem Volume Driver", they all have a yellow yield icon on them.
    I have deleted all the portable devices and rebooted. They come back, however I have the same problem.
    If have tried a number of things, if I recall I saw "Code 10" at one pont.  I do not remember the item it was attached to.  I will follow-up with more info as I can get.  I have had a 3GS for over 2 years.  Apple Care tried to help me very diligently on an other Vista machine and had no success.  Please Help, someone.

  • Cannot find WiFi driver for E-15 0319-3SU

    Hi,
    I've tried to locate the WiFi driver for an E-15 0319-3SU without sucess.  I tried all of the available drivers on the site according to the model I have and can't seem to get one to work.  I have reaffirmed that the driver is showing as missing in Device Manager.  I'm using Win7 x64.  Sadly Lenovo System Update for whatever reason doesn't recognize the missing driver and won't update it either, so I'm up a creek!
    I reformatted one of these a while ago and recall having a lot of trouble locating the correct driver.  I had saved the driver but have since overwritten it so I can't use it.  Can someone please help?!
    Thanks!

  • Satellite P70-A-104 - cannot find webcam driver for Win 8.1

    Hello,
    I have installed a 2nd hard disk with Win 8 Pro 8.1.
    I also have downloaded all available drivers for my model P70-A-104, but there is no driver available for the built-in Toshiba WebCam FHD. I have also checked other Toshiba models with 2 MBit FHD Camera.
    Is there anyone who knows where to download the correct driver? I know there a some tools for driver updates (25 - 30 US$) but they don't display the missing web cam driver.
    Yours

    As far as I know there is no webcam driver for Win and no webcam driver for Win 8.1 because the notebooks webcam module is controlled by internal Microsoft driver provided with Win 8 / Win 8.1
    Question: do you have any yellow exclamation marks in device manager? I guess the webcam is listed there...

    Scroll down to the "Search by Product" section, select "Sound Blaster", "Audigy", "Audigy Gamer" and set "File Type" to "Driver".

  • Help. I can't find any help for my ipod mini!!

    Hi
    About a year ago i bought my ipod mini. Now it's just a little over a year old and halfway through a song it freezes and makes an internal clicking noise. Sometimes i have to reset it or in like 45secs it restarts the song where it left off. In the past few days the icon with unhappy ipod has been popping up, so i keep resetting it and now it just clicks w//out even playing the songs at all, or it will click and just display the songs names and go through them all without playing.
    Is this a battery issue, or is my ipod toast?
    since my warranty is up, to send it in for repair is just idiotic since it'd probably be the same as purchasing another ipod/mp3 player.
    Somebody help!

    I'm just interested in knowing whether or not it's my
    battery or if soemthing is broken inside.
    It depends. (Although I doubt it is your battery).
    The restore would tell us that. Try a restore.

  • Bridge to PS CC 2014:  Error "Windows Cannot Find Photoshop CC" for PSD & TIFF files

    Since installing PS CC 2014, I have been unable to open PSD & TIFF files from within Bridge.  If I do- I get the error above.   Once Photoshop CC 2014 was installed, I removed the older version of PS CC. 
    Sounds like a registry issue created when PS CC 2014 installed alongside PS CC; confusing Bridge of where to send Photoshop files.

    Looks like bridge is still trying to run the old version.  Did you uninstall Photoshop CC after installing Photoshop CC 2014?
    Have you made sure and fully closed Bridge and reopened it?  Logging off and back on would ensure that.
    Failing the above, people have reported success with using the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool followed by a reinstall of Photoshop CC 2014...
