Try putting it into "Disk Mode" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Then with it in this mode connect it to the PC and try to run the latest iPod updater to do a restore and update software if you have the option. the latest iPod updater is 2006-03-23 and can be downloaded here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/

  • Computer says 'one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it'. what do i do?

    i have an ipod nano 7th gen and when i plug it in for itunes my computer says 'one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it'. what do i do?

    As I said above, some of the new lightning cables have been known to be causing problems for some users.  Have it replaced if at all possible by bringing it into your local Apple Store's Genius Bar.

  • Okay every time i plug my ipod up to my laptop a message comes up and says one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. Can someone plz help me ive done everything.

    I really need assistance/help with my ipod because it was working fine one day. Then the next day i decide to put more music on it then this message came up, and ive tried all the troubleshooting stuff and different links to help but still no success. But theres one thing i havent tried yet someone told me to buy another Apple charger and wall plug in to see if that works other than that i need help because i went to settings and erased everything off my ipod to see if that worked and it didnt so all my stuff is gone....Yeah i was ****** but plz help me!

    I would first try unplugging All the USB devices plugged into your computer, and then plug back in just the iPhone and see if that is recognized.  Also, do you have the latest version of iTunes for Windows installed on your PC, as you need to?
    Hope this helps

  • G31TM-P21 One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and

    Just bought the G31TM-P21 motherboard and installed it with a E3200 proc. Whenever I plug in a USB device in one of the four ports on the back panel I get the message:
    "One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message."
    After clicking the message I get a window with:
    "One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it." with a tree of USB Root Hub (2 ports) with Unused Port and Unknown device under it.
    If I go to Device Manager nothing appears to be uninstalled but if I expand the USB I do have a single instance of Unknown Device among the root hub and host controller. I'm running windows XP home 32 SP3.

    I connected my sons Ipod Touch to my pc and it worked fine. Now, when I try to connect my iPad the following message comes up: One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
    I checked the cable. It surely is not the cable. If I connect the iPod again it works fine. If I use the same cable with my pc and ipad at work or my other son’s laptop, it is working perfectly. It is only on my laptop where the iPod was connected. Something tells me it got something to do with the drivers that went corrupt or something when I connected the iPod.
    I searched the internet and I see a lot of people gets this message. Still no solved answers yet. Is there a place where I can download the drivers again or any other suggestions?
    Windows 7 and iPad 2
    Kind regards,

    I was hoping it would be something like a USB device conflict, but now the shuffle is the only thing connected...
    This article was one of the ones you linked to above in your initial post
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
    Under Part 9. Verify that USB drivers are installed, did you try the steps in If only "Unknown Device" appears?  That appears to be your situation.
    Also, you said that the shuffle initially worked well enough to do a sync, then it had the same problem again.  If you can get it to work again initially, before doing anything else, try the following.  Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right, go to the Summary tab.  By default, the checkbox for Enable disk use should be unchecked.  If so, check it and Apply the change.  See if that makes any difference. 
    (If Enable disk use was already checked, try unchecking it and Apply the change.  Basically, set it the "other way" and see if there is any improvement.)
    NOTE:  When disk use is enabled, you have to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it physically.
    If the disk use change makes a difference, that may provide a clue about the actual cause.

  • One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and ...

    Hello all, I have the same problem with one of our members here and also would really appreciate some help. I have a iPod video since last December and it worked just fine. Yesterday, I took some of the data out from my iPod with another computer and everything ran fine also. But when I connected my iPod to my laptop, it said "USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctionedand Windows does not recognize it". I tried to connect that to another computer and same message popped out. I have charged my iPod, it usually took few hours to recharge the battery but this time, even though it was charged for more than 6 hours, it is still not fully charged. The iPod works fine (it plays all of my current uploads on it) it's just that it won't communicate with my computer so I can't update content and get my data out of my iPod.
    I have tried to updates iPod in a disk mode, connect and reconnect again but it still doesn't work. I very much appreciate it if anyone can help. I can't afford to lose the data I have in my iPod. Thanks.

    I'm not really up on the complexities of the Windows OS but try this tip I picked up a while back, hopefully it might help.
    "USB Device not Recognized in Windows"
    1. On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
    2. Double-click the System icon.

    5. Scroll down the list of devices to the Universal Serial Bus controllers
    6. Click the plus icon next to the Universal Serial Bus controllers.
    7. Double-click one of the indented USB Root Hub entries.
    8. Click the Power Management tab.
    9. Deselect the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" option.
    10. Click the OK button at the bottom of the window.
    11. Restart the computer.

  • Cannot sync iTouch.  {"One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it."}

    Any help?  I have not synced the iTouch in quite a while because it could not be found after an out-of-state move.  I just found it, after two years, and am wondering if it will sync if I Restore it.  I don't want to lose all of my music and if there's a way to avoid that, I would appreciate it the recommendation.

  • My computer will not recognize my iPod Nano when i connect it. I tried my laptop instead but it said the same thing - one of the USB devices attached to your computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. Can i fix this?

    My 16 gig iPod Nano 7th gen was put of power. I connected it to the computer and it started to turn on (the apple appeared in the middle of the screen). Then left it two minutes and the computer went into sleep mode. My iPod nano had gone off and now it will not turn on, or connect to the computer, so i cannot charge it. I am not sure if it is a problem with the usb cable. When I conntct the cable to the computer nothing happens, but then when i connect the iPod to the cable it says 'one of the USB devices attached to your computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it'. Please don't say its broken already

    It probably needs to be reset. The procedure is different for different Nano models: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/assistant/itunes/
