Note: Serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • 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!

  • Not recognized USB-6251 (detected) to the MAX but is detected by the Windows 7 Device Manager

    Does anyone have a solution to our problem?

    USB-6251 is not recognized (detected) in MAX but is detected by the Windows 7 Device Manager.

    Is our configuration: Windows 7 (64-BIT), DAXmx 9.3.0f2, MAX 4,8 and USB-6251 (S/N 12B647A. P/N 194929 D - 04 L)

    We had a 'ready' indication/led the 6251.

    We tried several things... (all do not work)

    1. we have installed DAQmx 9.3 (for Windows 7)

    2. clean MAX Database by the following

    http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/WebSearch/86256F0E001DA9FF86256FFD005B827C?OpenDocument

    Michael B.

    Yes the 6251 appears as a DAQ hardware.  Device charger OR placed in the auto-start services window.  We have refreshed MAX.

    Success!  I had to manually start the device loader.  Even if the service has been set to autostart, it did not work.  Right-click on the service shows that the beginning was selectable.  Click Start and the service began.  Start to MAX and can now see the device.  Open the front panel.

    How does the monitor devices OR running in the interface of the status bar to the device loader service?

    I don't understand why the service was not working.  Is it a security issue?  I am logged in as administrator.  I'll try once again as a normal user.

  • MAX does not detect my instrument 488.2 GPIB-USB-HS, but Windows XP Device Manager only

    Hello

    I have a problem when you use the 488.2 GPIB-USB-HS, I see the device in Windows XP Device Manager, but it is not visible in the MAX, I do not see even a section for devices GPIB. However, when I try to install a new device, GPIB, the Wizard MAX tells me that it is one of the instruments GPIB installed on the computer which GPIB0 - USB-GPIB-HS. Do you know what is the reason to do this, because I want to use a multimeter in LabVIEW via GPIB, but I can't access it, I don't even see that there is a GPIB connection in the computer (in LabVIEW).

  • DVD - rom is not recognized by windows xp Device Manager

    I have a laptop Satellite M115 with XP and I noticed that yesterday that my cd-rom does not work.  It does not appear in Device Manager at all.   There is a place in systems that say CD-ROMs, but when I click there nothing.  I tried the "fix it" does not.  I looked to try to find the upper and lower registry keys and are not there either.  I even tried to reinstall the cd-rom, but there is no entry for it.  I tried to start with cd player and he did, but the meter turns, it just starts.  Fisically, the drive seems to work, when I put a cd in the drive, he lights up as if it is going to work but does not work.  I can not find anywhere, it is as if it disappeared completely.  I'm not able to be executed.  I rarely use the drive so I know that it is not worn.  I tried to access other programs that would use the player, such as windows and dvd media movies and they say that the drive is disconnected or not.  I have not upgraded to Vista, so it isn't that.  I still have XP.  Do you think that a security update could have wiped out the ability to find the cd-rom?  If so, what is it?  I do not have a virus I know.  My antivirus can't find anything and cannot care Windows online.  No infection.  I would eliminate the pc with a clean install, but it will not read my disc! I am at my whits end!  Any help at all would be deeply appreciated.

  • Windows 10 Device Manager: "unknown devices", ACPI (Aspire V3 - 112 p)

    After a new installation of Windows 10 (64-bit / Education version) on my Aspire V3-112 p-P5B3, I have yet three "unknown devices" in my device manager and a warning about my 'SDA Standard compatible SD Host Controller'. The first three say «Drivers not installed...» "and display in the 'Détails' tab the" property: device instance path "with the" value: ACPI\INT33FC\n ' (n = 1,2,3). The "SDA". "says"device pending on another device... ". ». So I think that the last problem could somehow be based on the first three problems (?).

    I installed all the drivers on the Acer site for win 10/64 bit.

    I tried to update the drivers in Device Manager... the problems are still there.

    I used the "driver update utility" Intel... the problems are still there.

    I found some clues on the web about "ACPI\INT33FC\n" - but above all, in my opinion, the strange sites for updates of drivers. But somehow, I don't think these pages...

    Someone at - it a solution for this problem? Or the same problem?

    It's a serious thing? Should / can I ignore it? Maybe a future driver updated by Acer?

    Any help is welcome! Thanks in advance!

    ACPI is part of the Intel IO drivers:

  • Wireless dead after reinstalling Windows. Device Manager can't see the map

    Hello

    I have a laptop model Lenovo 3000 N200 14W 0687.  It was teeming with virus so I wiped the hard drive and installed Windows XP Home Edition from scratch.  Now Device Manager can't see the wireless adapter and Wireless does not work.  I tried to download and install the Wireless driver on the Lenovo site (I don't have a disc of relocation); but I got errors.  Anyone know what could cause this and a fix?

    If you are interested, here are the details of what happened when I tried to download and install the drivers:

    Device Manager gives me the adapters three following network:
    Network adapter 1394
    Broadcom NetLink (TM) Fast Ethernet
    MAC bridge Miniport

    None of which resemble wireless cards. So I used the link http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/ot/en/DriversDownLoads/Drivers.htmlto try out. Enter my serial number L3X3516 took me to a support page client lenovo that says

    Total 13 drivers need to be repaired/upgraded, 9 drivers in need of repair, please click the "Download" button to begin to repair

    One of them was this:

    Intel (r) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection

    I downloaded it and it says: 'the contents of this file cannot be unpacked. the executable file that you are trying to run has been damaged. You can get another copy of the file, verify its integrity, and then try again"

    So I used google to find this site:

    http://www.getpcmemory.com/drivers/download-Lenovo-3000-N200-type-0769-notebook-Windows-XP-Vista-DRI...

    who told me that my computer is a Lenovo 3000 n200 Type 0687.

    Using google once again, I found this page:

    http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-68011

    which was another version of the driver. So I downloaded and unpacked it. I then took a glance at the .txt guide provided with the driver. It is said:

    1. Start Windows XP and log on with administrative privileges.
    
    2. Double-click the driver package to extract it to your hard drive.
    
       The default location is C:\SWTOOLS\DRIVERS\WLLANINT
    
    3. Click Start, then click Run...
    
    4. Specify SETUP.EXE with the full path name where you extracted the
    
       package in step 2, and click OK.
    
       Example: C:\SWTOOLS\DRIVERS\WLLANINT\SETUP.EXE
    
    5. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.
    
    Unfortunately, there is no setup.exe file in the folder so this has failed.

  • Vista Home Premium Device Manager empty

    After plugging in a USB stick for laptop my wife and successfully copying data to the hard disk, I noticed that there is no icon to the icon 'Remove hardware safely' in the system tray.  I checked under the taskbar properties to make sure that the icon was set to 'Show' and it was, but still no icon.

    Then, I opened the Device Manager, which shows nothing - completely empty.  I also noticed that my network connections were empty as well.

    I googled and found several forums display solutions for this problem with XP but not Vista.  I checked services and reviewed the registry as suggested in many forums, but have not yet resolved the issue.

    I also applied SP2 of Vista in the hope that it would help; He did not.  He has also deleted all my previous restore points if this isn't an option at this point.

    I'm ready to re - install the OS but prefers to find the problem and fix it.  All suggestions welcome.

    You are welcome.
