Ipod "usb device not recognised" on one computer but works with another!

I have a 60GB ipod video and a 2GB ipod nano. Both connect fine to itunes on my work laptop but will not connect to my home laptop. They have previously worked fine with the home laptop but now when conected the message "usb device not recognised one of the usb devices connected to the computrt has malfunctioned". I have tried reinstalling itunes several times and tried the usual reset of the ipods etc but nothing seems to work.

If you have more then one USB port, try the other port.

  • IPod not recognised on one computer but OK on another

    I manage a number of iPod nanos for my children on my PC (vista). In the last few days, one of them (pink nano)is not recognised by windows nor therefore in iTunes. I tried by 60GB iPod and had same problem. Plugged in my blue nano and works perfectly.
    Tried pink nano on my laptop (xp) and works perfectly.
    Using latest version of iTunes and PC fully updated.
    On PC, pink nano does not appear under USB controllers, but under Other Devices as Apple iPod USB device (with exclamation mark). The device status is: The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
    Can anybody shed any light on this please?

    If you have more then one USB port, try the other port.

  • Win8.1 hard drive will not load in one computer but will in another

    I have a HP s3707c (product FQ578AA-ABA, Software build 91NAv6PrA1). Win8.1. This computer got stuck in the "preparing automatic repair" loop and will not start windows. It freezes with the windows icon showing and no spinning circle of dots appear. I made a recovery USB and it will not start from it either. I thought that it might be a hard drive problem (or software), but the HP diagnostic test from hitting F9 on start up indicate that everything passes.  I have a second computer that is the same type, so I took the hard drive out of the computer having problems and put it in the one that is not having problems. It started up just fine. I put the hard drive from the good computer into the one having problems and it still would not start up windows from the drve or from the recovery disk. Any suggestion on how I should proceed diagnosing the problem on this machine not starting up windows? 

    Hello D1P. I understand that the hard drive will work on one computer, but not another one. I do have to point out that the computer you pointed out (FQ578AA), does not have Windows 8.1 drivers, as indicated here. You should reference this document for more information: What if I don't see my operating system.
    If you are interested in troubleshooting the issue under this environment, you can test the computer for hardware failures. If there is an error, this indicates that the computer could have a hardware failure. Otherwise, you are likely facing a compatibility issue.
    Please let me know the results of you troubleshooting. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Changes to OAF page not displaying on one computer but are on another

    We made some changes to a link on one of our pages, The changes are not working correctly on my computer, however if someone else who hasn't been in the pages signs into the apps as me on their computer, it works correctly for them. We have cleared the framework cache, cleared my browser cache, made sure my browser settings are set for automatic for viewing new versions of stored pages, but nothing has helped. Does anyone have any suggestions on what else we can try?

    Did you try clearing your java object cache on your machine? Settings -> Control Panel ->Java Control Panel->Temporary Internet Files ->Delete Files.

  • Replacement Photosmart 6520 not installing on one computer but fine on another

    I'm bewildered.  I was having an issue with my 6520 not printing black ink, and was sent another (same model) printer as a replacement.  On my Windows 8.1 laptop, it installed just fine.  But on my Windows 7 desktop, the installation software cannot find the printer on the network.  The HP Print and Scan Doctor found it, but was unable to print a test page.  The printer is obviously on the network because the laptop can use it.  The blue light is steady and reports connected to my network.  I've manually entered the IP address but it remains invisible to this one computer.  (Heck, my Android can access it!) I've disabled firewall,uninstalled and reinstalled twice, and am pretty frustrated right now.  Anyone have a clue as to what's going on?

    Hi chroma601,
    I understand you received a replacement printer, of the same model, and now you are having some difficulty installing it on your computer running Windows 7.
    Have you tried the Printer Install Wizard (PIW)? The HP Printer Install Wizard for Window was created to help Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 users download and install the latest and most appropriate HP software solution for their HP Printer.
    If you have not tried the PIW please do, and let me know the outcome.
    I look forward to hearing from you.

  • Libretto - USB Device Not Recognised error message

    Hi there
    I have a workaround for this problem which ocassionally happens. It is just to reconnect the USB hub(as recommended by Windows). I was just wondering if someone knows why this happens and how to fix it. The error is :--
    "USB device not recognised. One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognise it.
    USB Roob Hub (2 ports) - Unused Port, Unknown Device.
    Recommendation: try reconnecting the device. If Windows still does not recognise it, replace the device. "
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    Kind regards
    Julia.

    Hello Julia
    It is always advantageous to mention which model you have exactly. Obviously the external device is not recognized correctly. Check if there is some driver that must be installed before you can use it properly.

  • Ipod not recognised by Windows, USB device not recognised

    Hi hope someone can help
    I have recently received my ipod back from Applecare who have sent the ipod back in ' working order ' but it will no longer be recognised by my windows. It says USB device not recognised and i cant find, nor will it install drivers that i located on the ipod updater etc.
    I have tried several methods on this forum but none seem to work.
    The letter from mycare says the iPod is formatted for a computer operating Mac OS X. Although i stated wi use Windows. But the leter states this can be changed bu installing the updater, but this wont make a diff as comp still wont regonise the device after i have followed there instructions. Any advice?
    Thanks

    You've pretty much exhausted everything so it is time to get it serviced. Is it in warranty?

  • Usb device not recognised for ipod touch

    Just bought new ipod touch. Connected ok to start with and managed to set up but I know keep ketting the message 'USB device not recognised'. Says something about no drivers installed, but then system says no updated drivers available. Have followed all the help tips, reset the ipod and the only thing I haven't done is reinstall itunes. Is that likely to help? Is the problem likely to be the ipod itself? Any help much appreciated.

    have a look at this support article.

  • Usb device not recognised

    hi i have a problem when plugging in my ipod touch, it says in a little speech bubble at the bottom corner "usb device not recognised, one of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognise it"
    ive tryed everything, ive updated the driver, ive uninstalled the driver, and nothing comes up in itunes. the ipod does nothing when plugged in, it does not charge as well when plugged in. ived tryed in itunes the diagnostic test but when i click it it says "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close"
    please help me!!!!
    thanks, calpol55

    I am having the same problem. I went through all of the steps already listed (updating drivers, uninstalling drivers, uninstalling iTunes and all related software, reinstalling) and still no luck. I also tried syncing to a new computer, but am having the same problems. My Touch does at least charge when plugged into either computer, but is not recognized by either computer in iTunes to actually sync. The problem seemed to start after I updated iTunes on both computers, so I tried going back to the previous version of iTunes, but then I couldn't get iTunes to open because my library had been updated by a newer version of iTunes, so the old version wouldn't work anymore.
    My Touch is not yet completely worthless since I can still charge and download apps and music straight to my Touch, but I can't organize anything very well and can't easily make new playlists or add new playlists from iTunes.

  • USB device not recognised - comes up when I plug i-pod into PC

    When I plug an ipod (have tried 2) into my PC I get the message
    USB device not recognised
    One of the USB devices connected to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it
    I have tried several USB ports and 2 different connecting cables
    Help!!
    Thanks

    Try to restart your computer?
    If you have one of the newer iPod's it could mean the service pack is not up to date on Vista/XP
    To check your service pack, right click on My Computer and click on Properties.
    Vista should be service pack 2, and XP service pack 3
    iTunes HAS to be updated to iTunes 10 or later
    If it is not a new iPod, you could have to update your USB drivers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 follow that and it should work
    If none of those resolve the issue, try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes
