Windows shows "Hardware Update Wizard" instead of recognizing iPod

I've used my 20GB 4g iPod with Windows XP before and had no problems, but when I recently plugged it into my computer it wouldn't show up -- all I got was the "Welcome to the Hardware Update Wizard" window. It says that I need certain drivers in order to install the iPod; does anyone know what the computer means?

I suspect you have a Mac with OSX 10.4.11. To beyond 4.1 you need iTunes 10.x and that requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.

  • "localdisk" icon shows up in itunes instead of my ipod mini

    when i plug my ipod mini in, itunes does not recognize it. instead of my ipod mini icon showing up, an ipod icon that says "localdisk" appears in itunes. i have tried resetting it and that doesn't work. i have also tried re-installing itunes and that doesn't work either.
    help!

    Stephanie,
    I believe your iPod is in disk mode, instead of regular mode and that's why it shows in iTunes as "localdisk".
    Try this: Connect your iPod, open iTunes. Wait until the software recognizes it and then click on the iPod icon on the bottom right of iTunes.
    When the new window opens, click the "iPod" tab on top and then the "Music" tab a bit below. Under the box, if there's a check next to "Enable disk use" then uncheck it.
    Does this help you?

  • Deselected (unchecked) windows updates are showing in offline updates wizard summary

    I unchecked those Internet Explorer 11 installation and updates when filtered to do the offline updates of the wim image. After I clicked next, I see them in the Summary
    section. I went through all software updates area and ensured they're not the member of any already created updates group. They some reasons still show up in the offline update wizard summary like I chose them. How do I for surely rid of those unwanted updates
    from the offline updates?

  • Software Update Point doesn't show Win 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 updates

    I started deploying Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter servers and some Windows 8.1 workstations. I wanted to make sure that my Software Update Point was downloading updates available to those OS's and after going in to Administration -> Overview -> Site Configuration
    -> Sites -> Configure Site Components -> Software Update Point, I notice that those OS's weren't available to select. 
    I then did some searches on the web and thought my problem was two fold:
    1 - I was using SCCM 2012 SP1. 
    2 - My SCCM 2012 Software Update Point was on a Win 2008 R2 server
    So the first thing I did was upgrade from SCCM 2012 SP1 to SCCM 2012 R2. I then created a Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter server and installed WSUS on it. I then added the server as a Site System Server, added the Software Update Point to it and configured it.
    Unfortunately, this still didn't help me as you can see from the screen shots below:
    What am I doing wrong and what needs to be done to have all the updated Operating Systems and Microsoft Software added to my Product list?
    Thanks... Frank

    To follow on to narcoticoo's statement, have you actually initiated a catalog sync from within the ConfigMgr console yet? If so, has it completed successfully (you can check the moniotring workspace or you can watch the wsyncmgr.log).

    Jason...
    I just ran a Synchronize Software Updates from ConfigMgr Console. I then went Monitoring -> Software Update Point Sync Status. It's showing my new WSUS server ( 2012 R2 ) but it's not showing any updates are being sync'd through it. See this screen shot:
    I then went to the wsyncmgr.log file on my site server which is the OLD WSUS server ( Win 2008 R2 ) and say this:

    It appears to me that when doing a Sync, it's still trying to use my OLD WSUS server instead of my new one. I removed the Software Update Point from the OLD WSUS server and uninstalled WSUS from it. I'm not sure why it's still trying to sync from the old
    server rather than the new one. Any ideas?
    Thanks... Frank

    When I login to update my existing apps, the login window shows the wrong apple id. i cannot change it because it is all grayed out. how do i solve this problem?

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

    maybe i am saying it wrong..when i press alt+tab there is only one firefox open..but in windows 7 in the taskbar..every tab open..appears as another window open

    If you are referring to taskbar previews, you can turn them off by modifying a hidden preference.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # In the filter box type '''previews'''
    # Double-click on the preference browser.taskbar.previews.enable to change its value to '''false'''

  • Looking for a site that shows problems with windows patches or updates.

    Looking for a site that shows problems with windows patches or updates...so I know what not to install.
    Plenty of sites list and summarize individual patches, I want one that consolidates problems and complaints so I can better assess the risk. Currently I'm waiting to install patches several days and doing google searches. That works, but I'd rather find a place
    that does it with expertise.
    Which forums would be best to look for such problems.
    Thanks in and advance for suggestions

    Hi,
    I agreed with Cyber and Rick.
    Windows update helps to keep your PC safer—and your software current—by fetching the latest security and feature updates from Microsoft via the Internet.
    Although there might be some problems when installing it, Windows update is not the one to blame.

  • IPOD recognized by windows but not updater...can someone help me?

    Hi all,
    Any help would be greatly appreciated on this one.
    My IPOD's old hard drive (10G) went kaput and I bought a new one (the new HD is 15G). I installed the new one and now windows is recognizing the IPOD as an external hard drive but not as an IPOD.
    The IPOD is a 3rd generation, 15 gig IPOD without the dock connector.
    I am guessing that this is linked to why the IPOD updater won't recognize the IPOD either.
    Does anyone have any device for me?
    Again, thanks for taking the time to help out!!

    You could try a format of the iPod in Windows. A full format does a check and remap of bad sectors on the iPod hard drive, and you would need to restore the iPod as normal (using the iPod updater) afterward. This can also work when the iPod is recognized by the computer, but not by the updater.
    First, put the iPod into forced disk mode.
    See: How to put the iPod into disk mode.
    On your PC, go "my computer" and right click on the iPod, then choose "format". Ensure the settings are at "default" and that "quick format" is not checked. Now select "format". It will take a while, but when that's finished, restore the iPod using the updater.
    If you need to, reset the iPod to exit disk mode.

    I downloaded the latest iTunes software update and it properly installed.  But,  I cannot close the update window showing it was completed and the blue completion bar is full but cannot cancel or close it either.  Any ideas on how to clear that out and close the window.  Tried to quit on both the big window and the software update title in the menu bar.  No luck.

    Tried that by shutting down via the power button only as the normal shutdown was nixed by the open window issue.  It did not help.  Found a very similar question in the discussions and it recommended "Force Quit".  That worked and the update works normal and the window is gone.  Thanks!

  • Updated my Windows 8 and updated Itunes to newest versions and now my Ipod 7th Generation Nano is not recognized on my computer or Itunes anymore. I have went thru all steps instructed and offered here so what else can I do?

    Recently have updated my Windows 8 and updated Itunes to mose recent version available. My Ipod 7th Generation Nano worked, connected and synced without difficulty prior to this updating, Now when I plug into my computer it will pop up Itunes but say that this Ipod is not recognized. I have done multiple steps offered to try and nothing has worked. Any other suggestions would be helpful. I just got this Ipod for Christmas and now can't even use it to sync content anymore.

    Try a different cable. And are you connecting directly to your computer or through a USB hub?

  • USB drives aren't recognized in Windows after Yosemite update.

    On my Windows partition, my flash drives aren't recognized anymore. I've tried installing the Windows Support Software. That doesn't seem to do it.

    1. Your hardware seems to be functional since OSX can see USBs.
    2. Do you have iTunes installed on the Windows side?
    3. Can you remove all Apple software and just install the Bootcamp drivers, nothing else and test?
    4. This is what I see on my Yosemite DP6 (not GA version) and have a USB2 plugged in which is detected.

  • Photoshop 12.0.4 update - multiple open windows show wrong image

    I recently updated all my CS5 apps to the latest version. Photoshop (12.0.4) is now showing odd behaviour with multiple open windows.
    If I select View > Arrange > Float All in Windows (or drag a tabbed window into a separate floating window) the images displayed show the same image or they mirror each other at random. For instance, if I have two images showing an apple and an orange and float them in separate windows, sometimes both windows show an orange. If I click on the apple image, both images become apples. Click again, and the clicked image toggles (so apple.jpg shows an orange, and vica versa). This also affects new documents.
    Things I have tried:
    1. Deleting the Photoshop Settings File.
    2. Running Disk Utility permissions and disk checks.
    3. Booting from a backup clone on an external hard drive running Photoshop 12.0.2 – everything’s fine.
    One possible cause of the problem is that I’m not running an up-to-date system. I’m still on 10.6.2 (for various reasons: I’d read too many reports of problems with updates, so I decided to stay put; if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, but that could be coming back to bite me). Before I take the plunge and update to 10.6.8, can anyone suggest some basic troubleshooting or repair procedures I could try.
    Thanks
    Jim
    [Mac OS X 10.6.2, Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 x64, NVIDIA GeForce 9400]

    Yes! Switching it off and back on again seems to have fixed it.
    Many thanks!
    Incidentally, are there any major issues around CS5 and 10.6.8 that anyone knows of? I know that's a rather broad question but I wonder how many people are holding back on earlier OS versions.

    does every machine not have 1ghz+....   
    go ahead and try running windows 8 with those specs and even better run the steam overlay too and see what happens.
    any decent processor is 3.4ghz+ with 8gb of ram not to mention that dx11 came out with windows 7... 
    there is cell phones with better specs than the min requirements so both your posts are useless.  
    there is a standard to uphold and that is exactly what i always trying to do my best at.
    why sell a copy of windows if its just going to frustrate a customer when its not perfectly compatible with the system?
    o... lets just have everyone install windows 8 because its new and this page says it can handle it...
    lets make it 64bit too because higher numbers are cooler...  because it wont matter if its suppose to have 32bit...
