  • Problems with USB devices in Windows XP Mode on Windows 7 Pro

    I have a Palm Zire 21 that I use with ACT! Contact Manager to keep track of my appointments.  I was able to sync the Palm with my ACT database until this week. The device appears on the list of USB devices, but does not connect to Windows XP mode.

    I used this device in XP Mode since August without any problem.  Last week, I started having problems with the integration of XP features and had to uninstall and reinstall the integration features a few times.  I think I have a corrupted somewhere driver.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    No need to comment unless you have more insight.

    I solved the problem myself.  In XP mode, I went to the Device Manager and scroll down to USB controllers.  A virtualization USB bus drivers showed a problem.   I uninstalled this device and then managed to reinstall my Palm correctly after connecting it to the USB port, and then going back to the menu at the top of the XP USB mode screen and hit connect when I saw my camera.  The device connected in XP automatically and I was off to the races.

  • IPod Classic (80 GB) "unrecognized USB device" running windows 7

    I've recently upgraded to a new laptop (acer aspire 5738G) running windows 7. I managed to transfer my itunes through library and that you have installed itunes (x 64) that works well. When I plug my ipod classic (80 GB) on a usb port, I get a message saying "unrecognized usb device". I managed to make it work once, but when I did, I got an error understood saying "this drive could run faster" or something in that sense. I tried other usb devices and all seem to work well, so I guess that's the ipod drivers or a compatibility issue with 7 and itunes. I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, have reinstalled the usb drivers and have browsed the net for a fix but wo's me again! I waited patiently a hotfix from microsoft or apple, but still nothing. It seems that there is a great problem of the spread. Does anyone have any ideas as what was once a small annoying problem turns into a right royal pain in the a$ $. Thanks in advance!

    I also have the same problem is "USB not recognized" and I have the old IPOD classic (20 GB).

    The problem started when I upgraded my home pc to Windows 7 Pro 32-bit of Windows Vista. My iphone 3gs is currently recognized properly but not the ipod 20 GB on the same iTunes 9.0.2. Device Manager reports the 20 GB ipod as "unknown device".

    My computer is a HP Pavilion Slimline s3620f. Almost tried everything:
    -reboot several times
    -Reinstall itunes several times
    -restart the service itunes several times
    -Reconnect the ipod several times
    -tried the front and back of the usb ports
    -deleted the Sentinel file under c:/users //musci/itunes/I've found solution on another forum

    ... still nada, zit, ala!

    Update: I've found a workaround. Fortunately, my ipod classic cable is a cable in there provided with firewire in addition to the usb cable. Since my home pc has firewire port, Windows 7 now recognizes the classic ipod through this port, have a drive letter and itunes works on it as well.

  • Handspring Visor is a "unrecognized USB device" for Windows XP

    Hello World-

    I feel as if I have a career to synchronize my PDA hot! I used to hotsync regularly on my old HP Windows 98 machine, and now that I have this new (er) eMachines Windows XP Pro system, I got nothing but heartache. Here's the situation:

    My Visor Deluxe runs Palm OS 3.1H3, apparently the latest version which will work with it. The computer is running Windows XP Pro SP2. I have hotsync a few times when I got to the computer, but it has never been reliable. Now I surely CAN NOT synchronize! When I press the button on the cradle, Windows hotsync ALWAYS reports, "USB device not recognized" and of course the visor says he couldn't make contact with the office.

    HotSync manager is running (I have the blue and red arrow on the taskbar icon), and if I look at the Device Manager when I try to sync, is apparently trying to get the driver, he simply painted the same list. The list does NOT include the Palm, Handspring or unknown devices.

    I followed the directions "clean uninstall" I found on this forum and re-installed Palm Desktop 4.01. That worked once a week or two ago, but now when I arrive at the end of the installation, when I'm supposed to hot sync, I get the error not recognized USB.  I even tried to install Palm Desktop software version 6.2, but which ended up in a mess - I was getting errors like "Ordinal 23 could not bewildered because of the trajectory messed up', or words to that effect... I think it's ok for XP, but not "peripheral" as my trusty old visor :-)

    I know I should try to use the same configuration on another computer to be sure that the visor is ok, but I don't have access to another machine; In addition, the PDA has no other wierdness. Soft resets do nothing, but I don't want to try a hard reset until I get everything synced to the top! I am at my wit's end and don't know what else to try. I tried both my cribs and a number of different USB connections both at the front and the back of the PC. The USB hardware in the computer seems to be fine with everything else - mouse, camera, mp3, flash drives. I'm beginning to suspect that I need to plug with USB 1 and these are 2 USB, but I don't know how to check either of these things, or how "throttle" in the case, I have to use the USB as soon as possible.

    Thanks in advance to everyone that these figures. I'll be very grateful to have everything works again.

    Gary Benson

    I was with you until the end. I hate to ask, but could you clarify this just a little:

    Then, reinstall your Palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If she asks
    for a user name and you synchronized your device before you put "test" If you "
    no sync before creating a hotsync name.

    Ok. I read three "if" statements, and try to understand what is meant here. If they ask you a user name AND if I synced before, AND if I do not synchronize before creating a hotsync name, I put in 'test '. Means I can't use the name I used for this camera? Or are you suggesting that, really, should I open Palm Desktop and create the username before I hotsync for the first time (after the new installation)?

    I * have * synchronized before, and I don't plan to sync until everything is set up right, which to me should mean that Palm Desktop is ready with a username to match your handheld.

    Also, these indications seem in conflict which advised you to in the first paragraph, where you said:

    When you install Palm desktop, skip the hotsync process and complete the installation. After installation, adjust the conduit in hotsync manager for handheld overrides desktop, then synchronize with PC. During the connection process, it will ask you a username, enter the same username which is located in the upper right of the screen on your handheld hotsync.

    It * seems * that what you say I have to do is:

    (A) clean uninstall - move data to safe places, uninstall, and then remove all traces of "Palm" and "Handspring" of the registry.

    (B) restart the computer.

    (C) install Palm desktop, but not hot sync again.

    (D) open Palm Desktop, add the user name (Tools/users) and set the lines for handheld overrides Desktop.

    (E) hot sync.

    Isn't it? Sorry to be so simple, but I want to make sure to proceed exactly right. Thank you very much for your reply and for your help.

  • Whith USB Device error: "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device...". (Code 52) »

    Original title: open usb drivers problem

    My Dell laptop stops working with USB storage drivers. The removable driver icon is displayed in the devices window and printers with a yellow triangle around!
    I've tried different USB drivers and the problem persists. I tried troubleshooting, and it does not help.
    In the Properties window, I get the following message:

    "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52) »

    I don't remember making any hardware/software changes and do not know how to solve the problem.

    You are welcome.

    Something seems not quite right so contact the store can be a good idea.

    Back to the initial problem as I understand it, is that when you insert an external drive, you get the error 'code 52?

  • Windows recognizes only certain USB devices not

    Hello. I apparently have a common problem of Windows not to recognize certain USB devices (namely a flash drive and my iphone). I made sure that all Windows updates are up-to-date. The devices work on other computers and my internet USB Orange key still works so I know the actual port is correct. I tried to uninstall the USB mass storage, but he won during the process and still does not work. Any suggestions? These worked very well last month.

  • No Apple USB driver in Windows 10 Device Manager

    Is there a way to retrieve the Apple USB driver in Windows 10 Device Manager.  I downloaded the iTunes 12.3.3 yesterday and now he is gone.

    I tried

    • plug into each of my Apple devices (iPod, iPad, iPhone, iPhone 4S 6)
    • restarting my computer
    • disabled my virus protection software
    • synchronization with different strings (some Apple, others not)
    • my devices restart and try again
    • Uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling
    • Uninstalling iTunes and goes back to and older version
    • make a Windows system to a restore point when I could synchronize my devices

    My main problem is that I need to sync my devices and iTunes does not detect them without the driver.  Windows can detect my devices and they appear in the file Explorer.  I am also able to get pictures and videos I've taken off the power unit and on my computer with no problems.

    Anything else I can try?  I'm out of ideas.  Thank you!

    This can help:

    If iTunes does not recognize your iPhone, iPad or iPod - Apple Support

    Refer to the section:

    and read carefully.  Depending on your version of Windows the Apple Mobile device driver may appear in different places.
