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.

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:

Try an SMC reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
Another option would be to install the Combo Update (yes, again): http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1726
If those don't solve it, take it in for repair.

My Bluetooth has disappeared and I have tried just about everything on the internet. When I click on Bluetooth file exchange it says hardware not found. I tried resetting everything as well nothing is working for me please help because now my facetime doesn’t work neither does photo booth and now I cannot text people off my laptop unless they have iMessage.

If you followed the instructions in the support article exactly (leaving the machine off for two minutes), then it has a hardware fault. Take it to an Apple Store or other authorized service provider for repair.

If you run into the "another installation" message even after the reboot of the PC (which is an excellent idea by HTP ProXy), reregistering your Windows Installer Service is worth a try.
First, launch a command prompt as an administrator. In your Start search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
At the command prompt:
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Restart the PC and try another reinstalll.

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 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

Windows 7 in domain Cscript.exe c:\windows\system32\Slmgr.vbs /ato = license key not found

Hi,
1 Windows 7 machine doesn't want to activate its license key after deployment.It says "this copy is not genuine".
When I run >Cscript.exe c:\windows\system32\Slmgr.vbs /ato it says "Error: product not found."
It seems as if it doesn't find the local/general KMS key (needed to activate the key).
I was wondering if somebody could explain the working of this KMS key so we can analyze/troubleshoot.
Pls advise.
J.
Jan Hoedt

Well, that works indeed. The question now is "what happened". Entering the KMS key into the client works.

After new itunes upgrade getting Windows error 126 that identifies MSVCR80.dll not found. itunes unable to open. Anyone have cause and resolution.

After installing new itunes upgrade on Windows Vista PC, itunes does not open. Getting error boxes identfiying Windows error 126 (error 7) plus; MSVCR80.dll not found.
Anyone have casue and resolution?
Apple support did not have file or process available to backoff to previous itunes version v11.1.3 to allow recovery so itunes could continue use with no problems as before this new upgrade.

If the above doesn’t do the trick entirely, then use the instructions in the following as it applies to the version of Windows you are using:
HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP
HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
You may be required to boot into safe mode to complete the folder deletion process.

Hotmail doesn't open and says 'server not found' but all other websites work fine...

My macbook won't open hotmail. It works on all other websites apart from hotmail. I have tried using safari to open it but it still didn't work. It comes up with the message 'Server not Found'. I have tried another computer in the house and it worked absolutely fine. I have cleared cookies and cache on the macbook which has not changed anything. Please help as this is rather an annoying situation to be in. Thankyou

Are you using a bookmark or do you enter the website via the main entry (i.e. a link on the MSN page)?
In the case of a bookmark, you may need to delete this bookmark and create a new bookmark.
Is this also happening with the Windows Live (Outlook) login page:
*https://mail.live.com
*https://login.live.com
You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

MacBook - the Airport hardware not found issue

Hi,
has anyone here had a similar 'Airport not found' issue?
At random start ups, connection fails and I get the above message from the Network pane. Then I have to reboot the Mac to get an Airport connection again. And when I do I'm asked if it's ok for system prefs to join the wireless networks on my list - everytime.
Another thing that seems to fix it is to do a software update from Apple.
I tried trashing prefs, zapping, resetting psu and what else, but a malfunction pattern didn't emerge. Sometime it works sometime it doesn't
Because it's intermittent I'm struggling to understand if it's an hardware issue (airport failing) or something else.
I'll take to an apple centre soon, but anyone here has had a similar issue?
thanks already
val

cheers, I did try that. No problem found... I guess I should take it as good news

I-Pod file not found

Everytime I update my i-Pod, this pop up window comes up:
'The i-Pod cannot be updated. The required file cannot be found'.
Is there a way I can download i-Tunes again without losing all my songs, pictures, videos, etc, so that the i-Pod can update properly?

Update as in update the iPod software, or update the iPod with songs from the iTunes library?
Are the songs in the library? This message usually appears when iTunes cannot find the song or songs that you are trying to put on the iPod.
Are there any ! next to the songs in iTunes?

When I call VI on Linux from Teststand on Windows using TCP/IP I get "file not found error".any sugeestions?

I am trying to execute a VI running on Linux from Teststand running on windows 2000 prof ,both running on two different machines.I used TCP/IP for the interface using the following steps on Labview VI:tools>options>VIserver>TCP/IP and gave the ip address of both the machines.When I gave the file path as c:\home\test.vi in Edit labview Vi call window(the Vi in linux is stored in /home/test.vi)and also in remote vi path:/home/test.vi,I get a file not found error.The teststand version is 3.0 and labview is 7.0.Any idea why this is happening and any solutions?

priya guru,
Here is a knowledge base that addresses your question: �How do I call test VIs that reside on a non-Windows platform from TestStand?�
You also need to set TCP/IP Access found in Tools->Options->'VI Server: TCP/IP Access'. Make sure that you list the IP address in the Access List to allow TCP/IP access to that machine. Finally you need to specify which VIs are accessible to remote applications. Open up Tools->Options->'VI Server: Exported VIs' and provide paths to the VIs you wish to be remotely accessible.
I have attached an example VI that demonstrates VI Server in action. Please post back if you are still having problems. Good luck!

I just noticed this problem, however it looks like this has been an issue for a while now (possibly since the glibc update?). My entire system is up-to-date, curl itself works fine from the command line. It just appears that there is an issue with this module. Any ideas? Thanks!

I have restarted Apache, but I have not restarted the whole machine (it's a server that's located 4 hours away from me with an intermittent remote superviser card), so it doesn't get rebooted often.
Would a reboot actually solve this issue?
