Strange device under shared

This morning, I noticed that in addition to the other two computers in the House I also have a device with a generic icon showing under shared in the sidebar of the Finder. His name is brw904xxxxxx (xxxxx are numbers more I'm leaving aside just in case they might reveal something sensible). There are other wireless devices in the House including a PlayStation 4 and Sonos speakers, but they have been around for centuries. This camera just showed this morning and I know that this is not something belonging to neighbors because they are the snowbirds and won't be back for a few weeks yet. Any ideas what it is?

Hello dwb,.

Maybe you have a brother printer? I found another thread on Apple Support communities where another user had the same problem. I hope this helps. Maybe you can also try looking at the MAC address of your printer (that is of course if you do not have a brother printer) and check to see if it corresponds to the top. - Mystery PC showing in Shared tab on the sidebar

Thank you

  • 802.11 wireless pen drive recognized as 'unknown device' under USB. Help, please.

    Specs: Windows XP Home Edition version 2002, Service Pack 2. This is the version of XP OEM. Processor Intel pentium 4 2.00 GHz. 1.50 GB of ram.

    After an unknown incident (i suspect headphones usb), my wireless USB key has ceased to be recognized as such and become everything simply an "unknown device" under "USB bus controllers. Although windows tells me there is no drivers for the device installed, the wireless pen drive is signed with the Publisher of Microsoft Windows with a version of driver 5.1.2600.0, Microsoft being the driver provider.

    Compound number, the 802.11 device is listed under "Other devices" when 'show hidden devices' is selected and the variable "devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices" entered "environment variables", but is washed out-showing that the system thinks that the device is not currently connected to the computer. In addition, under details, it displays error code 45: the device is not connected to the computer. And it is. It's very hip. as cement and connected tape.

    I plugged the wireless key USB in all the usb ports on the computer, every time with her recognized as 'unknown device' under usb controllers. I entered in the safe mode, uninstalled all the usb controllers and root usb hub drivers and let windows the respawn after reboot in order to solve the problem. No dice.

    I also plugged the USB in a different desktop and it works like a charm, so the issue is not with the hardware.

    Clearly there that a conflict with drivers/registry/God knows what, but I'm at a loss. Somehow, windows has taken its decision and the player associated with "unknown device" and I see no way to make the system "forget" that the USB was never connected. How can I remove the ghost driver "unknown device" manually or force windows to re-associate the key wireless USB with "other devices" (with the yellow? mark) and not this useless usb driver "unknown device"?

    Thanks for the help!

  • My HP DVD/ROM does not appear in the device under my computer Manager or when I scan for readers.

    My HP DVD/ROM does not appear in the device under my computer Manager or when I scan for readers, most of the time.  Every now and then it will be visible and I can use it but 90% of the time it does not exist.  I tried the regedit fix, nothing.  I tried the program Microsoft Fix It, it tells me it cannot locate a DVD/ROM.  I removed, cleaned and reinserted my DVD/ROM drive, but no difference.  I tried everything, except the upgrade to Windows 7... who will be my last resort.

    Hello gargoyle28m,

    If your hardware is not detected to upgrade to Windows 7 is not a resolution. This issue may be caused if the DVD drive is faulty or connections loose on the mother board. You may need to check the connections. I suggest you check if the DVD drive works on another computer. You can contact the manufacturer of your computer to help you with this problem.

  • Several Airport Apple ID devices disappear shared devices and Software Configuration of the airport

    We have three Airport extreme and two Airport Express devices in two offices in the city.  Some time in the last two days, they all stopped appearing in the sidebar of Finder 'Shared' category (if they had attached disk storage) and they stopped from appearing in the Configuration software of the airport on any of the Mac on these networks. (They always seem to be correct, routing traffic, however).

    For a while, we left a desktop completely alone as a control group and did all our testing and troubleshooting in the other office.

    We-hard reset (to the factory configuration) all devices from the airport to an office. They began to appear again. Then we started to re - configure them again.  At the time wherever we had updated the devices they had disappeared again.

    So, another factory discount based configutations for each device to this facility. Then we added slowly in pieces of their configuration.  When airports have received Apple ID and associated passwords for associating with iCloud/BackToMyMac/WideAreaBonjour (depending on what you want to call it), the airport devices disappeared from the airport Setup.

    If we tried to configure another device from the airport to extend a network of 'invisible' airports, the new airports were "unable to find" one of these networks to expand.

    If we reset all devices without providing them with Apple ID and passwords, they worked mainly as you would expect. The main difference being now do not appear as having been recorded as BackToMyMac/WideAreaBonjour devices.

    One side for people dealing with this note: If your router are invisible, but they are configured to be configured from the EXTENSIVE worldwide network, you can use "File-> configure the other" and specify the address WAN of the missing aircraft and get this screen access as one would generally. From here, remove all the Apple ID associated with these devices, press "Refresh" to save the settings and they seem to reappear magically in the Configuration of the airport software.

    In that State, storage seems to be available, but only for devices in Domain Local (direct connection). Airports without AppleIDs will not appear in the field to iCloud/BackToMyMac/WideAreaBonjour, and it's as expected, given that these IDS is the means for the identification of their field.

    If someone else has noted these behaviors and if so, have an idea about specifically when they first appeared? Is there by any chance someone who knows of any change in registration or the MWAC of multiplication?

    Did you approach the problem exactly as I did in the past, and having encountered problems of the CCMM literally every version of OS X. They were all distinct problems with individual characteristics, and in some cases the solutions exist. Having said that the CCMM has been completely reliable recently - which means running the most recent El Capitan release on all my Macs. The initial versions (i.e. OS X 10.11 to 10.11.3 maybe) didn't work at all. I don't know which version fixed whatever the problem was, I am sure he has not worked for someone else.

    The same real place with Yosemite and previous versions as well. CCMM did not reliable until the exit "point three or four."

    Through these experiments, I believe it should be a pretty fast connection. If the connection between a Mac and all the others does not meet this requirement (whatever that is) all you will be able to determine, it's that the CCMM fails.

    Apple is characteristically silent about the technical aspects of the CCMM, probably because of security concerns. Nobody outside Apple knows how it works. If you're still having problems, I encourage you to contact them. After mentioning predictable you corrective raw materials (the two following links) you will be put in touch with someone who will look to what is false, providing diagnostic assistance and send your information to engineering. If it's something they should fix, you'll know not to the point of an OS X update is published.

    Set up and use Back to My Mac - Apple Support

    Get help using Back to My Mac - Apple Support

    With all the conversations I had with Apple on this topic (which were many, involving a large amount of tests) not once they disclose any causal factors individual, other than to reiterate the need to run the last OS X, versions and the latest versions of firmware for their routers. In your case, that means probably that your Mac update to El Capitan. It is after all the very first recommendation in their document of support above, until you do this you will still not get in step 1.

  • Strange devices satellite U300-15 after the new installation of 64 bit Vista

    I just got my Toshiba Satellite U300-159 (model No. PSU30E-07901NN5)

    It was a display model used in the store where I bought, so I wanted to do a clean install.
    Using the recovery cd did not work. (Something about some files than couln can't be read).
    It is a really bothers me not at all because I want to run it with a clean Vista anyway, so I jumped into a Vista Home Premium 64-Bit UK + SP1 and installed it.

    After that the installation was done, I ran windows update to get a little more drivers for the few items that not have installed correctly.

    After that almost everything worked very well.

    Except:
    I had two entries in the called Device Manager device Base System. They are found under 'other devices '.
    I have looked around the site of toshiba for the drivers, but can't find anything that seemed as if it was the thing that I was missing.
    (Actually I'm not sure I've found the correct support page. I learned to http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modSel.jsp and was able to select 3 versions of U300. U300 - ST3091, ST3092-U300, U300-ST3094)

    Everything on the PC works well: card reader, bluetooth, graphics card, wireless + LAN cable, keyboard shortcuts, sounds etc.
    The only thing that is not working is when I put it in mode "Eve". The screen goes black, the powerled stays on and the fans continue to operate. It is not possible to bring him back again if.

    Does anyone have an idea where to find these drivers?
    Or maybe just sort the problem of sleep difficulty?

    I reinstalled using the recovery CD and choose another language and thus skip the defective cd.
    But the sleep problem was still there.

    An update of the bios, mentioned in this thread: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=32002&tstart=15 solved the problem.

  • No devices under Max

    Hello again everyone.

    I looked through the other posts and have tried all suggested without a bit of luck. (other that a complete uninstall, re - install)

    I'm forced by my Department to upgrade systems to Windows 7 64-bit and a computer Lenovo ThinkCentre shinny new M series.

    My problem is with MAX v5.0.  I have a PCIe-6351 and a PCI-6052E installed in the system, windows recognizes the card and according to the Device Manager, everything works fine.  The problem is that devices are not appear in MAX under the tree of devices and Interfaces.  I'm refreshing the tree and it is said, it is looking, but he never finds anything.  I used the tools > Reset Configuration option and have nothing done.

    Could there be a security features that are installed that may stop MAX from the voting systems hardware correctly?  Only, I only ask because I was told that some hard enough security practices will be implemented with the new computers, I am about to receive.

    I gained administrative rights and run MAX under an administrator account, but still no luck.

    This is a new installation and I received no errors, everything seemed to install correctly.

    Any ideas how to solve this problem?

    Your help is as always, very much appreciated.

    Steven M.

    Well, my problem is solved. MAX recognizes all my devices and everything works as it should.  The solution is a bit anti-climatic

    The source of the problem was that NEITHER System Web Server (NiApplicationWebServer) service did not, who stopped the mDNS responder service of the race, which, in turn, stopped the service of charger OR to run.

    Try to manually start the MSDN OR system Web Server & National Instruments that service would result in an error 1075, you try to start the device loader neither resulted an error 1068.

    My Department of systems had no ideas on what safety measures or protection of viruses on their end parameters might be the cause of the problem.

    Solution:

    Control Panel > programs > programs and features > National Instruments software > uninstall / change > measure Automation & Explorer > repair.

    After the repair, everything works fine, and all of the above services are running.

    The installation process has shown without errors or problems, so I am at a loss as to why he needed repair.  But whatever it is, problem solved.

  • records of strange files under my username with the C: prompt.

    Why a file would be under my user id is C:\cc44550b9539189e94f35bdf61\jscript.dll and not someone elses home?

    Thank you

    C

    I don't you part jscript.dll but see if this part makes sense for you:

    When some programs (including Windows) installs things, it can create a temporary folder composed of 20-30 random letters and numbers or random numbers and letters in the root of the drive of the volume with more free space.

    This explains why the records are sometimes on your C drive or any other drive - the most space?

    For example, you can see a similar to or called folder:

    C:\9470bb12e8a4f3447657236478e41c5

    There may be other folders and files in the main temporary folder.

    They should normally be deleted when the installation is complete, but sometimes they are not - especially if the installation fails.  They are harmless but annoying.  You can think something is wrong when there are no or fear, that the files are really necessary.  To avoid confusion, you can delete the temporary files.

    If your installation has failed or the installation does not remove the folder to the random name when it finishes running again installation will be another folder at the random name.

    You may be able to identify installation (out of curiosity) by looking at some of the contents of the folder and decide if this installation was not serious, just remove the files/folders.  If the installation does not work for some reason, run again just installation will create a new temporary folder to the random name so the old temporary folder is really useless.

    Records are sometimes tough to remove.  Even if you are an administrator on the system, you might get a "sharing violation", "access denied", "used" or type similar message when you try to delete temporary folders.  Facilities sometimes use different permissions that can have a regular user with the administrator group.

    There are many methods to try to remove the folders, and some require third party programs to install or change some windows settings that could compromise the security of your system if you do not change them back when you're done.

    Start your system in Mode safe mode (by pressing the F8 key several times just before XP attempts to load) is a good method to try to remove the files because it does not have to make any changes to your system configuration or by downloading third-party programs.

    If Safe Mode does not work you can change the security of the folder when you start in Normal Mode to give your username full control over the files by navigating to it in Solution Explorer, click on tools, Folder Options, view and in the advanced settings window, uncheck (at the bottom of the list) use simple file sharing (recommended) and click OK.  This disables him recommended simple file sharing on your computer if you want to turn it back on when you're done to make everything you do.

    Right-click on the files of interest, click Properties and click the now visible security tab.  Change the properties, but you need (for example, select your user name, and check the box to allow full control), click OK to apply the changes.

    With usage share of active simple files (recommended) the checked the properties of the folder tabs are:

    General, sharing, customize

    With the use of sharing files simple disabled (recommended) box unchecked, the properties of the folder tabs are:

    General, security, customize

    Now, try to manipulate/delete the folder.

    It's a good idea to go back to the Explorer and the cheque in the box easy to use sharing files (recommended) when you have finished making everything you do.

    If none of the above works, try a popular third-party tool called Unlocker.

    Unlocker can be downloaded here:

    http://ccollomb.free.fr/Unlocker/

    Unlocker can be uninstalled when you have finished using it.

    Reboot when finished to ensure that boring records are really missing.

  • Cannot find the Touchpad settings to allow scrolling. Touchpad are not not as a device under the mouse settings. Help.

    I usually use a USB mouse, as it is easier for me than a touchpad, but mine a. kaput! So, now I'm trying to use my touchpad and I can't scroll. It has arrows on the right side and it used to make scroll... but now it doesn't. I do not remember turning this setting OFF... but when I try to see if there is a setting I can change I can not even find the Touchpad as a device. When I go into the properties of the mouse, I get a message "unable to connect to the Synaptics pointing device driver. I thought you could say that because I unplugged the USB mouse, but now I'm not sure.

    When I go to the mouse, then material he mentions "Synaptics PS/2 Port Pointing Device. It says plugged in the mouse PS/2 port and the device works correctly. There is no devices listed under device settings. In addition, there is an option to display the icon in the taskbar (it used to be there... don't know what happened) but I can't click on it or the other tray icon options.

    I have a Gateway M152s laptop. Any suggestions? Reinstall a driver or something?

    Help is greatly appreciated!

    Thank you!!!

    Hello

    Check with the Gateyway support, documentation in line, or forums that there is probably Hotkeys
    that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

    Gateway drivers and downloads.
    http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/dlcenter.asp

    Also check the control - Mouse - touchpad settings panel.

    You can also try this:

    Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touchpad - the driver tab-
    Click on update driver (it comes may not do anything like MS is far behind the drivers of certification), now right CLICK
    on the TouchPad and UNINSTALL. Even if the touch pad is not displayed, do the rest.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in). RESET

    This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad from working.

    Here is the similar procedure in XP, Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device
    If it is present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Then navigate to the site of the manufacturer of the system (gateway downloads - access your model - listed above) and down
    the latest touchpad drivers.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

    ================================================

    Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with TouchPad entered)
    and some come with a utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock in the bottom right.

    I hope this helps.

  • New x120e - "Unknown device" under USB controllers

    OK, so I'll try again from Firefox this time.

    For the first time poster, so please, be gentle. I recently ordered and received a x120e. The first time startup in Windows, the ThinkVantage Toolbox had a yellow exclamation point. To study more, I determined that it was due to an "unknown device" listed in the Windows Device Manager under USB controllers.

    I installed all the Windows updates available, and unknown device problem. When you open the device in Device Manager, the Statute indicates that "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) ». The associated driver is usbfilter.sys, and if I try to update, it tells me that my current driver file is already up-to-date.

    If anyone can help with this question? I'd appreciate it - nothing worse than making a brand new machine with a hardware problem!
