Windows reports that the "USB-IF xHCI USB Host Controller" device is not working properly.

I have been receiving the following error and instructions to fix it for a long time now, prior to updating to Windows 8.1:
A device is not working properly
Windows reports that the "USB-IF xHCI USB Host Controller" device is not working properly.

Search in the device manager for the device whose driver you would like to update and double-click on the device name. You may first have to enable the "Show hidden devices" entry in the "View" menu.
Switch to the Driver tab, click Update driver and follow the instructions
When I follow the instructions and try to update the driver, I am told "The best driver software for your device is already installed."
How do I update the driver to stop receiving the error?

  • HT2693 How do you contact Apple by email to report one of their pre-installed iPad Apps (ie Calender) is not working properly?

    How do you contact Apple by email to report one of their pre-installed iPad Apps (ie Calender) is not working properly?
    On trying to open month of March 2013 the pre-installed calendar just shuts down and closes.  Have tried restarting iPad but this didn't help and because its a pre-installed App am unable to re-install it.   Is this a universal problem or just affecting me?  Tried searching for support in both App Store and on Apple site and can't see how to report this.

  • Mac USB Keyboard Cntrl + F# commands not working properly

    Hello folks,
    I have a mac keyboard connected to my MBA through USB, the issue is that the control + F# shortkeys don't work properly.
    E.g pressing ctrl + F3 should take me to the desktop ( the sliding movement of the windows ), but instead it switches between windows or something..
    Even though it says in the system setting that pressing ctrl + F3 should take me there.
    The keyboard in question is a Mac keyboard also. The commands works just fine when I click only the F# buttons on the MBA's keyboard.
    Anyone has stumbled upon this previously or know any solution? You gotta love the Mac keycommands.
    Thanks

    Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard (and Mouse depending on Mac OS X revision) -> Keyboard
    change the use all F1, F2 etc... keys as standard function keys setup.
    Command + key usually works for control commands you are used to on Windows, when working with Mac OS X applications.

  • The keys on my mac book pro (2009) are not working properly, both letters and numbers.  I think I pressed something,but I cannot find a numlock key or other to undo this problem

    Need Help Please

    Try this. Open one of your files. The window that contains your picture is named at the top. Command click on the name and you'll see the entire path starting with its name and then moving to the folder, the folder it is contained in, etc all the way to down to the hard drive volume name. This should tell you where to find the folder.

  • I cannot pick up Wi Fi in the area of my house that is my office. For a windows laptop I use a plug in (to the mains electric)  booster which connects via the USB port. This will not work on MacbookPro as the USB will not recognise it. Why is this?

    Do I need the ethernet to thunderbolt adapter available at £25 from apple store? Will this work?

    Hi -before you go buying new cables, I would ask, is your booster only designed for Windows computers or does it have also have an installation setup with drivers for Macs - this could be why the Mac doesn't recognize it.

  • Very sick Macbook Pro OS v 10.6.8 - initially running slow so I tried backing up to Time Machine and reloading the OS but the install disk failed. I was able to recover from the Time Machine back up but many applications are not working properly. Help!

    I am also no longer able to back up using Time Machine (backups fail), can't access iPhoto (which was a problem before attempting to reload OS) and I suspect other apps are no longer working. The computer is however running faster in Safari and Mail...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    If there are any files you can transfer to  a regular storage drive do that first and then disconenct all drives.
    Hold c boot off the 10.6.8 disk and use Disk Utility to Erase with Zero option the hard drive, takes some time, let it complete as it's mapping off any bad or failing sectors.
    Then install 10.6. log in and update to 10.6.8 (important!)
    Now use Migration Assistant to transfer over just your user files, we need to rescue those first out of TimeMachine's EVIL clutches, once you've got that, transfer them to the regular storage drive and disconnect.
    Note: if your 10.6 disk fails, call Apple for a replacement, you need the machine specific version, the 10.6.3 retial doesn't have iLife and only works for machines pre 10.6.3 release, not afterwards. Factory installed 10.6.4 machines and afterwards need machine specific disks.
    Then either:
    Log into the admin/first set up user on the machine and delete the Migrated user, then reboot and use Migration assistant again to TM everything this time
    Or
    Just install all your programs again from fresh sources.
    If your TM drive is really hosed, then you'll need Data Rescue $99 to read the TM files directly and transfer the results to another regular storage drive (not the first one just in case), then pick through the debris and locate your files and transfer them to another drive.
    I don't like TimeMachine, but for newbies it's better than nothing.
    (I prefer cloning my entire OS X parititon instead, I can access it from any computer (Linux, Mac or PC) and I also can boot my Mac from it. I use Carbon Copy Cloner, but that's for later once your all better. )

  • The system Pages library and its RSS feed do not work properly in SharePoint 2010

    This question is about RSS feed for the system 'Pages' library in SharePoint 2010.
    Now there are 5 'News' pages in the system 'Pages' library. In each news page there is one field called 'Title' for the news title. One of the news page is named 'FileNamePage5.aspx', and the news title is 'This is the title of page5'.
    I have enabled RSS in Site Settings, and configured RSS Settings for the 'Pages' library from the Communications section via Document Library Settings. I selected a few columns to display in the RSS description, including the 'Title' column. In the RSS feed
    (XML file) of the system 'Pages' library, I checked the XML source code, and found the news page file name appearing in the <title> tag below within the feed (XML source code).
     <title>FileNamePage5</title>
    and the original news title 'This is the title of page5' was appearing in the <description> tag in the feed (XML sorce code)
     <description><![CDATA[<div> ... This is the title of page5... </div>]]></description>.
    This would make it hard to extract ONLY the original news title (This is the title of page5) out of the feed via XSLT, because the data within the <description> tag in the feed also contains data from all other selected columns defined via the RSS
    Setting. If I did not select the 'Title' column via RSS Setting above, I even could not find the orinigal news title in the RSS feed.
    This is happening for all other news pages in the system 'Pages' library. Is this what SharePoint 2010 normally does? or is something wrong with the settings for site or the system 'Pages' library?
    How to display ONLY the original news title (This is the title of page5) in the <title> tag in the RSS feed. Please Help me to resolve this issue.
    谢亚军@Sydney

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display the value in Title column of Pages library in title tag in RSS Feed in SharePoint.
    I tested the same scenario per your post, the title tag in RSS Feed displayed the value of Name column in libraries and displayed the value of Title column in lists.
    It is by design and there is no OOB way to change the default column mapping in RSS Feed.
    I recommend to customize your own RSS Feed style sheet to make the title displays the value of Title column in SharePoint libraries.
    Here is a link about customizing the RSS Feed for document library for you to take a look:

  • I updated my phone with the update for applewatch and now my phone is not working properly with hondalink.  Can anyone help?

    I just updated my phone this morning.  It's the new update for the apple watch.  I have a 2015 honda fit with honda link.  I usually play my spotify through the ''ipod'' source because it shows all of the song information.  Since the update it will not play through the i pod source even if it is plugged into the car.  Can anyone tell me how to either make the song information show up when I play it through bluetooth or how to make it play through the i pod source again?
