• DVD RW drive disappears from the computer and the Device Manager on Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit

  After upgrading Vista to Windows 7, my DVD RW drive will disappear from official view and computing device and a scan for changes on the material or use of the player will not solve. Resolves a reboot of the PC (HP - Sony DVD RW desktop computer).
  It appears in the BIOS and when the first install Windows 7 found and the device manager reported everything is ok. It seems that after a power management feature has occurred and the PC wake up the disc is missing and the only way to return it is a restart.
  Help, please

  Thanks for the info, I had seen it work elsewhere on the net for similar problems with Vista, but not of joy as the either the upper or lower part reg entries appear under this subkey. They do it for the disk subkey but no CDROM

  Hibernation is disabled and I use power management to High Performance with only a screen sleep as a default 20 mintes and the hard drive after an hour of sleep. I upped since the two of them to see if that helps.

• Driver DVD disappear from 'My computer' and 'Device Manager '.

  Vista HP Portable DVD player continues to disappear from 'My computer' and 'Device Manager '. Already tried Upper/LowerFilters.

  Hi, a few weeks ago, the DVD burner in the laptop suddenly disappearedmy computer (Windows Explorer).  The first thing I did was check theDevice Manager to see if the drive was there.  It was not the case.  Restarting the laptop did nothing.  Repeated several times, active Vista updates.  No change.  By checking the net, I tried to delete the Upper/LowerFilters in the registry, download it tool Microsoft fix , delete iTunes, do a system restore, to change all the parameters of thesleep and hibernation off and a few other things.  It appeared for the first time after that:

  1. Do a restore of the system for the first restore point.
  2. Remove the DVD writer.
  3. Restarting the laptop.
  4. Research of new hardware in Device Manager .
  5. Change all parameters of standby and Hibernate off. (I tried this method without this step first, but the drive disappeared after the computer went to sleep and woke up.)  Tried 3 times with the same results).
  6. Closing.
  7. Reinsert the DVD burner.

  On the next reboot, the DVD writer has been recognized and ended up in my computer and Device Manager .  No errors of any kind and no drivers were installed at startup.

  What has happened since then, in the last 4 or 5 days, is randomly disappears from thedesktop .  Usually after a few hours or more.  This time, however, it usually appears inDevice Manager after a search of new material.  No reboot required.  It will read from a DVD .avi files each time.  It has not been detected byDevice Manager maybe about 2 or 3 times, and after a simple reboot, it will be present inmy computer and Device Manager automatically after a reboot.  I read that the superior/UpperFilter mark has worked for many people, but for some, the problem returns.  In addition, many of the discussions on this question and proofreading are years.  It happened about 10 days ago.  Within 2 days before the problem appeared first, it was an update of windows, but also an update of iTunes.

  I noticed that I received this error when opening iTunes:

  "The registry settings used by the iTunes for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can occur as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes. ''

  I have not reinstalled, no DVD player.  Uninstalled itunes again.  Since I finally got the drive to appear (using the method I described above), I did bother to reinstall iTunes because I particularly need it on this computer, worried that it may be the cause of the original problem and I wanted to see if the disc disappears again.  I did do it, however, let QuickTime installed.  Don't know if this could be a problem?

  I stumbled upon this suggestion, but I also had the same question as the next post, and I have not seen a response.  I don't know if or how I should try:

  Nikki,

  You can not go back if the restore points aren't there. Try to reinstall the IDE driver.

  To do:
  -Click on the round to start and right click on computer
  -Left click on properties, this will open the system window
  -Click on device high Managerin left
  -Click on continue if prompted by UAC
  -Goto the 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers' you should right click on uninstall and restart

  BTW that dog rox in this avitar

  See you soon! MCP. MCDST. LVL 80

  Hi, thanks for the comment on my puppy. She is now 5 MB and her name is Nikki, lol.

  Well, I tried what you said, but the IDE ATA/ATAP controllers has a (+), so when I select it does give me not an option to uninstall. It is for me (analysis of the physical changes (or) properties).       and if I click on the (+) sign I have 4 different options. 2 channels IDE, Intel (R) 82801 HEM / HBM SATA AHCI controller and Intel(r) ICH8M Ultra ATA Storage controllers - 2850.

  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistahardware/thread/e3701d75-9dbe-4ae9-9d70-83f14129247c?Prof=required

  What I see in "Device Manager", under IDE ATA/ATAP controllers is:

  IDE channel (x 4)

  Ricoh Memory Stick Controller

  Ricoh SD/MMC Host Controller

  Ricoh xD-Picture Card Controller

  Controller of PCI standard IDE dual channel (x 2)

  The laptop is about 2 years and never had problems.  The DVD burner is hardly used to burn, maybe a total of 5 disks in this time.  It has been used occasionally to read or copy from, but not much.  I'm not convinced that he is dead, as I had 2 die on me in desktop computers, after burning hundreds of CDs in them and read much.

  in any case, I was not able to find any bugs or suggestions (with the exception of 'replace' the reader), so I just wanted to describe my specific situation and see if anyone could help out.  Forgive me for information, I have left out, but I am an amateur when it comes to the problems with the computer and still don't know what mean things or where I can get information on my OS, software or hardware.  All anyone can do would be greatly appreciated.

  This is the information I have:

  HP Pavilion dv6700 Notebook PC

  Optiarc DVD RW AD-7560 ATA Device

  Vista Home Premium

  Service Pack 2

  Thanks again for any help.

• IE8 has disappeared from my computer and I can't retrieve it or download it successfully.

  Works fully update Vista HP on a gateway DX4710-09, Pentium Dual core E5200, 6 GB of RAM DDR2, HD 640GO with lots of space empty.

  Originally 32 and 64 bit versions of IE8 was installed and usable.  Just for a test, on 06/02/13 I installed and set Firefox as default browser but do not delete IE8 or other than to replace it with Firefox by default.  I used Firefox and IE8 such as required and all worked well for a while and then a few days ago two versions of IE8 has mysteriously disappeared from my computer and I was not able to get a return.  I tried to download but for some reason any that does not work.  I checked the list of installed programs and IE8 does not appear here and the two icons disappeared in the start menu, as well as in the Group of quick launch.  An IE folder appears in Windows Explorer in the Program Files folder as the Program Files (x 86) folders.  The subfolders in each list of files with a modification of 18/02/13 date I think it's the date IE8 disappeared.  Being not qualified for one more, I did nothing with any of the files in these folders for fear of making things worse.  Someone care to volunteer to get out of this dilemma?

• Portege A600-133: DVD player disappears from my computer

  Hello

  I have a laptop Portege A600-133.
  First of all, it is slow at the opening of my computer screen.

  Second: after ejecting a disc dvd or cd, Windows still shows the contents of the disc, the system hangs for a while, a USB unplug sound can be heard and the dvd player disappears from Windows (in my computer / Explorer / Device Manager)

  What this may be?

  I did already the round of upper/lower filters in the registry, but it does not solve the problem...
  I opened the computer laptop and checked the wiring to the dvd drive, cleaned the contacts, supported on the connectors.

  But the problem is still there...
  OS = Windows XP SP3

  Kind regards

  Arjan

  Hello

  My first idea was to remove the upper and lower registry key filters, but it seems that you have already done this.

  Nevertheless, here is a knowledge of MS on the upper and lower filters article mentioned.

  Hmm if the unit is not present in the device manager then this means that the device is not connected or he's dead

  You should check if the ODD (optical disc) is recognized in the BIOS.
  You should also check if it of possible to boot from the bootable CD.

  If this is not possible then it may mean that your WEIRD malfunction

• I deleted my phone after the backup of photos were also deleted from the computer and iCloud

  I have an iPhone 5 and after upgrading my phone and transfer pictures, my computer screen went to sleep while he was removing all transferred photos off my phone as I walked away. When I went back and opens the screen, deleting was stopped, and even if I tried to have the iPhoto to delete 517 photos that were transferred, it would not be. So, while my phone was still connected to the computer, I scored manually 88 photos on my phone, following on the computer, ensuring that each photo that I retreat the phone had been transferred to iPhoto. Then, I went in the "recently deleted" on my phone and deleted those as well, so they do not take place. When I got back to the computer for the next round, I realized every photo that I had just deleted my phone also disappeared from iPhoto! I even checked iCloud and they weren't there. How can I recover these 88 pictures I deleted from my phone and why the hell did remove it from the computer?

  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

  Note: My operating system is OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 / / iOS on my iphone version 9.2.1

  iPhoto or the new Photos application on your computer?

  Note that if you have settings > iCloud > iCloud library enabled in your phone and if you have the menu Apple > System Preferences > iCloud > Photos - Options > iCloud library enabled in your Mac, all the photos you delete phone, the Mac, or directly on iCloud will be removed from all 3 places. Intend to iCloud photo library must synchronize all your pictures on all your devices and iCloud. More information on iCloud Photo library FAQ - Apple Support
