Windows Could not find the Driver for your Apple iPod USB Device (5G 30GB)

I have a 8GB iPod Nano. My roommate has a 30GB 5G Video. Black.
My iPod syncs flawlessly. His is not recognized by Windows or iTunes. Every time we plug in the iPod, it prompts us for the driver. I tried to install the update apple mentions through the windows process, but after going through the tedious Windows Genuine Verification process, I was told that the update didn't apply to my computer.
We use a Lenovo Thinkpad T60p, which shipped with Windows Vista Business.
We are running iTunes 7.3.1.3, and there are no windows updates available for the computer.
I have...
...reset
...reinstalled 7.3.1.3 (over and over and over)
...tried different USB ports. (Early on, we saw it once after swapping ports).
...tried turning off the ability of the computer to 'Turn this device off to save power."
I have also verified that the iPod works on my work Dell Lattitude D620 running XP, and that it's not the cord, as we've used the cord that came with my Nano as well.
So, the problem seems to be with vista, as many people seem to have had. The best thread I found that deals with this was http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=995793.
But even after having tried everything, I still have an unrecognizable iPod.
When I run iPod diagonostics, everything seems okay, except for the iPod connection, which says failed. I've had difficulty working with the iPod service under Computer/Device Manager - it doesn't ever seem to stop or start, with the iPod plugged in or not.
And interestingly enough, the FAT32 external harddrive that I use to back up my data exhibits exactly the same problem ("Windows could not find the driver for your USB Mass Storage Device). This device worked great in XP, and even odder, I have a FAT32 partition of the main HD as a swap space between my VistaOS and my Ubuntu installation.
Do I have to chalk this up to another issue with Windows Vista? What bothers me there is that you're a ping-pong between windows support and apple support - no one really owns up the problem.

Bill, I've been stuck in this loop for 3 months since buying a new laptop with Vista Basic. I've tried everything to no avail. I don't know what else to do apart from buying a cheap PC running XP. Let me know if you manage to find a solution and I'll do the same.
Regards. Adam

  • Windows can not find the driver for PCI-1428

    Windows 2000 Find's the PC!-1428 Board, but it doesn't
    find the Driver. IMAQ 2.51 it's all ready installed.

    Loo. If you go into MAX and look under the software tab, does NI-IMAQ 2.51 show up? If so, make sure the Image Acquisition VIs are available in LabVIEW (or make sure the library files are available in your programming environment). If the VIs don't appear, or if the software isn't in MAX, then you probably have a dirty installation. To clean it up, make sure NI-IMAQ is totally uninstalled and that the NI-IMAQ folder is empty.
    If everything appears to be normal in software, but the 1428 card still doesn't install, then the card may be bad. The best way to test this is to install the board on another computer. If it works on one computer but not the other, then it's definately a software problem.

  • I have a compaq 6200 pro i can not find the driver for SM bus controller.

    I down graded the 6200 pro with the i3 chip  to winXP and now I can not find the driver for the SM bus controller does this system have a sm bus controller?

    Hi: Please click on the device in the device manager. Then click on the details tab. Post the top string of characters you see. Those will identify the type and model of the missing device and I can send you the link to the drivers. It is either your AMT driver, TPM driver or IMEI driver. In the meantime, install the chipset driver and reboot if you have not done so already. http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=5037900&prodNameId=5037902&swEnvOID=1093&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=vc-88640-1 Paul

  • Hi! i just bought the iPad mini 3 today with a case that supports the automatic sleep/wake lid action but i could not find the setting for the sleep/wake lid action in my settings.

    the cover i bought is from the brand called iPearl and it supports the auto sleep/wake lid action but i cant find the settings for it in my settings>general. now my iPad wont sleep when i close the lid. how do i find the option for this action in my settings on my ipad?

    The setting should only appear with the cover installed. Try settings> general> IPad cover lock/unlock> on. Thanks go to Diavonex and Chris CA from this earlier thread.
    The sleep/wake function would not show in general to turn it on. I have a Targus case but the function will not work. What's going on?

  • Could not find the Disk for the Timecapsule on my Windows PC

    Hi
    I am using a Windows PC with Windows 7 and have installed my TimeCapsuale. ALl Lights on Green and also the Connection is working. If I send a Pingto the IP Adress, I do get an reply. The only Problem is I can not see that Drive in my Explorer.
    What can I do
    Guido

    Have you typed the address directly into the address bar.
    \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress
    Please note.. a TC named Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule
    Is going to give you problems.
    I recommend strongly using all SMB.. ie windows networking names on the TC.
    You cannot type that name into the windows .. but on the network it should appear as
    fred-blogs-airport-time-capsule you could try that..
    Much easier though to name it correctly.. eg Tardis

  • How do I install to a different drive than C drive? I could not find the option for where to install it.

    I use a solid state to boot faster but it is so small that windows needs most of it. How do I install to the drive that I keep my programs on? Where is the option to choose the install location?
    Thanks
    Chris

    Not a direct answer to your question, but...  As a "think outside the box" possibility, Crucial MX100 512GB drives are now only about 200 bucks.  Check Amazon or Newegg.
    Having your programs on the SSD too means they load much faster.

  • Could not find the enhancement for IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDRSP

    Dear All,
    I am using message type ORDRSP, basic type ORDERS05 and IDOC function module is IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDRSP.
    I have done all required settings and idoc also created as per standard.
    But my problem is i couldn't find VBAK-ERNAM and VBAK-ERDAT in segments data. I decided to add these two in one of the provided customer function.
    I found below customer functions in IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDRSP function module.
    EXIT_SAPLVEDC_004
    EXIT_SAPLVEDC_001
    EXIT_SAPLVEDC_003
    But i couldn't find the enhancement in smod. Can you please provide the correct enhancement name so that i can activate and add my code inside the customer function.
    Thanks in advance
    Cris

    Hi,
    IDOC ORDERS05 does contain creation date. Check segment <b>E1EDK03</b> ( document header data segment ) for <b>qualifier '012'</b> ( document date ). It should be populated with creation date.
    There is not field on idoc for "document creator". But where are you planning to populate it. You will have to create a custom segment and and extension idoc from ORDERS05 to populate this field.
    If you need this field to reach only to middleware so they can pass along to the business partner, you can use header level text segments <b>E1EDKT1</b> and <b>E1EDKT2</b> with some unused text type to populate the user name here.
    The useexit you can use is <b>EXIT_SAPLVEDC_003</b> which is in enhancement <b>SDEDI001</b>.
    Let me know if you need any other information.
    Regards,

  • I have an Epson R2400 and I can not find the driver for borderless printing

    I have two Epson printers; I added the first, a R200 using the Printer Utility and in the add printer screen it asked me what page setup I wanted. I chose ALL and it gives me the ability to print borderless prints. I then added the R2400 using he Printer Utility but the "page setup" is grayed out and I do not have a borderless print option o this printer.
    I have tried deleting the R2400 from the list of printers and adding it again without success.
    I am using the drivers that came on the CD-ROM with the printer.
    Has anyone had a similar experience with the R2400 borderless print issue and might anyone have an answer?
    Thank you.

  • [SOLVED] mutt error "Could not find the host"

    I have been trying to set up Mutt, following the Mutt wiki page. Every time I run 'mutt' at the command line, the application opens but I get the following error message at the bottom of the window:
    Could not find the host "imap.qmul.ac.uk"
    I've tried various .muttrc variations, but no luck so far. Here is my current .muttrc file (with my username changed to 'user' but no other changes):
    set imap_user = user
    set folder = "imaps://[email protected]:993/"
    set spoolfile = +INBOX
    mailboxes +INBOX
    unset imap_passive
    (Eventually I will add smtp information, but it seems premature at this stage. I also tried putting my password in there, but it did not make a difference.)
    It may be relevant that I also cannot telnet into the imap server in question (or get in there with 'ssh'). I set up telnet using the telnet wiki page.
    The IMAP server itself seems to be working well: I can log in there and read and send emails just fine when I use a GUI-based email client.
    Any ideas, anyone, on what's going wrong?

    Just in case anyone stops by and is interested in the networking question, let me add, in partial answer to skanky's questions, that I can indeed ping the server:
    $ ping imap.qmul.ac.uk
    PING imap.qmul.ac.uk (138.37.6.143) 56(84) bytes of data.
    And the telnet error message I get is as follows:
    $ telnet imap.qmul.ac.uk
    Trying 138.37.6.143...
    telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out
    But I've just noticed that if I include a port the telnetting works fine:
    $ telnet imap.qmul.ac.uk 993
    Trying 138.37.6.143...
    Connected to imap.qmul.ac.uk.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    I don't know why that should be, since a port number is optional in the telnet documentation I've consulted, both on my system (via 'man') and elsewhere.
    And if I include a port number in my .muttrc folder setting but keep the server name instead of the IP address...
    set imap_user = user
    # set folder = "imaps://[email protected]:993/"
    set folder = "imaps://[email protected]:993/"
    set spoolfile = +INBOX
    mailboxes +INBOX
    unset imap_passive
    ... it STILL doesn't work:
    Could not find the host "imap.qmul.ac.uk"
    Finally the GUI application that I mentioned was a webmail service. I just go to a web page and type in my username and password, so I don't know about its settings offhand. I can try to find them out if this issue is of interest to any networking expert who wanders by.
    There are deep mysteries here, but I am content for the moment that I have mutt up and running.

  • When I click on an Icon on my desktop to take me to a site (such as google) I get a message that it could not find the loaction. Then it goes ahead and opens a Firefox window with the site anyway as if the message never happened.

    When I click on an Icon on my desktop to take me to a site (such as Google) I get a message that it could not find the location. Then it goes ahead and opens a Firefox window with the site anyway as if the message never happened. Then when I close the window I see that the message is still there. I have to close it separately. Any suggestions? Oh, and this only happens if Firefox is NOT already active. If I have another Firefox window open when I click on the Icon, it just opens as expected. This message appears no matter which site Icon I select. It did not happen before I upgraded to ver 9.0.

    Hello BassoonPlayer,
    Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using.  FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in.  This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly.  By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you.  Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

  • Windows SharePoint Services Error: Exception Details: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find the application on the Web

    I am developing a WSS based WCM site for a customer which has a bilingual interface. Now everything is wokring fine in the development environment.
