Windows trying to install drivers for iPod...
So here's my problem. Whenever I try to connect my girlfriend's iPod, Windows XP trys to recognize a new device and the driver installation wizard pops up.
I get a popup on the taskbar and Windows tries to install a driver for the iPod. If I cancel the installation it tells me the installation failed and there may be a problem with the device. The same thing happens if I allow the installation to continue as Windows in unable to find the correct driver.
The iPod shows up in Device Manager with an exclamation point. It does not appear in Windows Explorer or iTunes.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I have tried the 5R's to no effect. I have tried everything I can find in the support articles relating to iPods not being recognized in Windows or iTunes.

ipods use the standard Windows USB mass storage drivers. it is possible for those to go walkabout on a PC ... if that's what is happening here, the techniques from the following MarkJones post may be of some assistance:

Trying to install drivers for my scanner, not working
I'm trying to install drivers for a canon scanner, it's not working. I ownloaded them from the canon website and they are for Mac OS 9, would they still work? or do i really have to get a new scanner?
Hi Anna
Which model of scanner is it? Have you checked thoroughly to see whether OS X drivers exist?

Trying to install drivers for Lexmark X4650
I've downloaded the RPM based drivers for this printer from Lexmark and am now trying to get it working with CUPS.
I created a PKGBUILD based on one of the other LEXmark driver examples. makepkg completes successfully and gives me a package but, after installing, this package doesn't seem to make any difference to CUPS... In particular I'm hoping to see it listed in the printers available when setting up a printer.
My PKGBUILD is as follows:
# Contributor: Paul Hunnisett <[email protected]>
pkgname=lexmark-08z
pkgver=1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Lexmark 08z Printer Driver"
makedepends=('rpmunpack' 'cpio' 'gzip' 'bash')

Connects to windows 8 without a problem.
Hey shabnamsarup,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! I found an article that should help you out. I would pay special attention to step 9) Verify that USB drivers are installed, but would also go through all of the steps to make sure that it isn't something else causing the issue:
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows

Take care,

I have an HP mini 210-214 dxpc want to install drivers for hp officejet G85 printer
Help I'm at wits end I need driver (s) for hp officejet G85 all in one printer installed in my hp mini 210-214 dxpc with an upgraded windows 7 ultimate os in it.i've done everything i can find on hp website, the wizard finds the printer but no driver, windows can't find the driver, hp says its in my os already as a __os driver i cant find it or get this going been doing this for10 hrs now please somebody make it simple for me to install the necessary driver or whatever it is i need to do to get this printer operating from my laptop. oh this is through a usb connection if you need to know that.
thank you for helpingHi @GoddessDiamond,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you are trying to install drivers for your HP Officejet G85 printer on Windows 7. I am happy to help!
Please take a look through this installation guide, Installing the Printer Driver Using the Windows 7 Built-in Solution for a USB Cable Connection.
Otherwise, if that does not work, you can try to download the Windows XP driver, HP Officejet Basic Software and Driver, and run it using compatibility mode. Make older programs run in this version of Windows.
If neither of those two options work, then the last step is to try an alternative driver, please see this post, How to Assign Alternate Print Drivers in Different Versions of Windows, by @Shane_R.
Hope this information resolves your issue, and have a good day!

I am trying to install a new iPod Shuffle and my pc does not pick it up.
My operating system is Windows 8.1 and windows 8 does not appear
in the list of operating systems.You are referring to OFFICE 2010, not Windows XP or 7.
And which version of Windows do you have?
NEVER begin before you have a backup, ideally one you have tested and know works.
You don't really install Boot Camp, the Assistant is a partition tool utility.
You may just want Office 2008 for Mac.
If you need Office for Windows, perhaps run Windows in a VM like Parallels or Fusion.
Buy some backup drives and start using TimeMachine for one backup, then weekly backup with SuperDuper.
IF there is now a partition for Windows, all you need is to buy Windows, and I would recommend Windows 7 Home Premium (retail) which is about US$149.
Has nothing to do with free space. Office 2010 isn't to boot from. In fact, you can copy the disc to a folder (1.25GB) and run SETUP from there. -
Can anyone tell why I cannot install drivers for my IPOD Clasic
I have iTunes installed and I cannot install drivers for my IPOD Classic while using windows vista 64 bit?
Download the apps on your syncing computer and then sync to the iPod. Note that you can only sync apps for the one syncing computer you use with the iPod. You can manage music and videos among different computer.

I recieve the following error message when trying to install Quicktime for Windows "Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory." I just trying to get the latest version of iTunes. Thanks
"Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory."
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -

Boot Camp doesn't install the drivers. You have the drivers on a separate USB device if you followed directions. Once in Windows connect the USB drive with the driver software. It should startup automatically and install the drivers.
You don't even need to do that. As downloading the drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant can be unreliable, it is better to get the package directly from here:

I have installed the Windows 8 on my MacBook using BootCamp already, but I cannot install drivers for Windows now: I've got only BootCamp 3 disk and it doesn't goo even if I start it using compatibility options. And my BootCamp on Mac didn't offer me to burn cd with drivers for windows as I saw in many instructions. How can I resolve the problem? Thanks a lot.
Go back to Boot Camp: on the 2nd page you get this:
Download the support software and as Windows is already installed uncheck the 2nd box. -

Windows tries to install Labview Run-Time Engine 7.0...
I recently installed an application that installed Labview CVI Runtime engine. Anyway, ever since that time, everytime I start Labview, Windows tries to install Labview Runtime engine 7.0. It asks for a lvruntimeeng.msi file. I tried pointing it to one that I had on my system, but I think it was not version 7.0 because I got a message saying it was invalid. Anyway, I don't know why it's doing this to me, but I can't do anything to stop it, so I'm just trying to give it what it is asking for. I've searched the net for lvruntimeeng.msi files, but everytime I point it to such a file, Windows says it's invalid. I've only found a .exe file for version 7.0. Has anybody ever run across this problem. Or....does anybody have NI Labview Runtime Engine v7.0 in a .msi file?
I don't know why this is happening. The exe you have is from drivers and updates. Download this file and run it. It is an selfextracting archive which will start the setup for the runtime engine. After you have installed the 7.0 runtime engine in this way LV shouldn't ask about it.
The one thing I can imagine isr that the installed application changed a common component, e. g. Data socket, into an older version. A repair installation of your LV may also help you.
