The most likely issue: Have you plugged your iPad into a USB port that is not directly part of your MacBook Pro?

Hey, Thanks a lot. It took quite a bit of time to resurrect this ipod. I tried the upgrade again, but still would not recognize my ipod. So I went to the next step and reset my ipod, wiping of all of the information like it was new. This helped my laptop see the ipod on itunes, but did not sync. So, I deleted the itunes off my computer completely, restarted and then reinstalled the newest itunes, and then restarted. Finally, it recognized my ipod and started to download each song. It took awhile as there was 602 songs, but finally it works. Yea!!! I never had any problem with my old nano, but this touch has been another animal for sure. Thank you again and also the community for information. This was a helpful forum and will recommend to others if they get stuck with their ipod or iphone. Take care, Karen

Why does only the USB cable that came with my phon...

I recently acquired a Nokia Lumia Icon from Verizon. I have a Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 computer running Windows 8.1 with the Windows Phone App for Desktop (WPA4D) installed. I had a very difficult time getting my Icon to be seen by my computer when connecting it with one of the half dozen micro USB cables I have laying around. WPA4D would not recognize it. Then, I connected it using the USB cable that came with the phone, and WPA4D immediately recognized it. Then I unplugged it and went back to a different cable - it was again not recognized.
What is different about the USB cable that ships with the Nokia Lumia Icon? If I want to order more, like from Monoprice, what do I order to get the same thing? Why is Nokia (apparently) using some sort of proprietary cable??
Thanks,
Eric

It is not proprietary.The charging/data cable for my GPS works.
A lot of the cables are just for charging and that is all they are wired for and they don't even have the data pin. Full size USB cables are the same way.
If I needed an extra I would get it from Nokia.

"charging is not supported" when using the cable that came with ipod

I get an error message that "charging is not supported" when plugged in using the only cable that came with my ipod touch. My ipod will charge for 5 minutes then when I check on it, I notice this error on screen and the ipod has stopped charging. I'm using the same charging method I have always used since I owned this ipod which has been over 2 years now and this only started happening recently. I believe this started when I upgraded to 5.0.1.

- Look at both partsof the 30 pin dock connector. Log for bent. mising or corroded contacts of orther abnormalities. The cable could be bad. Try a new one.
- Try a reset. Nothings is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

ITunes on my computer does not recognize my IPod when connected to my computer

When my Ipod is connected to the computer, it does not recognize there is a device. I have been able to sync my Ipod to my Itunes in almost 4 months. Songs transfer to Ipod but the playlists do not. I have tried to figure out the problem and nothing has worked so far to correct the problem. I hope someone is able to help me.

Hello bre8613,

Computer does not recognize ipod touch when connected?

when I connect the Ipod to the computer in Windows 7, the screen does not show the icon for this device. Can anyone provide an explanation and solution?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

ITunes 10.5 (XP) does not recognize iPhone 4S when I attach it via cable. ...

I get the message, "USB Device Not Recognized ... One of the USB devices has malfunctioned [yadda yadda]." in the Windows notification area in the lower right of the screen.
I have been to this page: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/#section_2 .
Two things seem to work to get my computer to re-recognize the iPhone:
1) Restart the computer.
2) Open iTunes, which doesn't recognize the phone since Windows doesn't recognize the phone. Keeping iTunes open and the iPhone attached via the cable, I restart the iPhone. iTunes then detects the phone.
However, the minute I close iTunes (and then reopen it) or disconnect the phone (and then reconnect the phone), I have the same problem all over again.

Having exactly the same problem with my new 4S and iOS5. In fact, I could have written your original post, my experience was identical. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) however.
I can also add more data: When I get the "USB Device Not Recognized" message in the system tray, I can often unplug the cable and plug it into a different USB port on the same computer and it will be recognized. However, unplugging and replugging to the new port will often put IT INTO THE SAME STATE as the previous port, "USB Device Not Recognized". Even though it just worked on that port.
During the short period that I had iOS5 on the 3GS, it did not exhibit this behavior. I cannot test this further, having sold the 3GS already. But it's happening every day with my 4S.
I'm pretty sure we're not the only ones.

When I plug my iPhone in to my computer with the usb cable that came with the phone the screen says, "Charging is not supported with this device". How can I fix this?

When I use the same cable with the wall adapter it charges just fine.

LOL My situation is the opposite. plug my iPhone 3GS with USB cable and attach to mini adaptor (or whatever the small one is called) and it does not charge. Connect the same iPhone 3GS to my MacBook, using same cable, an charging takes place for iPhone. Then, connected the iPhone to the AC power with the large Apple AC adaptor and it always charges. Seems to be the small adaptor and sometimes a third party automobile adapter.
At first I thought this might be because I was using third party USB cable, but now wonder about that since there are so many problems that others are having.
Having scoured the discussions, it appears no definitive answer has been given. Am I wrong. Maybe I never found the answer to what is happening here.
if you can help, please reply to help all of us with the issue still - June 2011.
Thanks!

I cant figure out why my HTC Droid DNA is no longer recognized by my computer when i hook it up with the USB cable that came with the phone.

I used to be able to just plug in my phone with the USB cable to my Windows 7 computer and browse phone storage with no issues. Now my computer sees it as an android phone but when it tries to automatically install the drivers for my phone on the computer, i get an access denied error message. No option on the phone that i can see that allows me to mount phone as a usb drive. This used to work just fine with nothing more than just hooking up the cable. What gives??

Let's get that access granted again, e_rock_b. The HTC DNA doesn't have a special USB Mass Storage Mode that needs to be turned on. Usually, it's as simple as connecting and browsing http://vz.to/1jktbZD as you mentioned. If your computer is no longer allowing that easy access, try the steps at http://vz.to/1jktvr6.

My jetpack won't charge. I only use the cable that came with it. and by won't charge, I mean even when plugged in the battery keeps dropping and never goes up.

My MiFi jetpack 6620 doesn't charge. I've plugged it into the charger that comes with it, and only that charger. But nothing happens. The battery keeps getting drained. I first attempted when it was at 16%. After being on the charger a few hours, it dropped to 15%, then 14%. I'm currently at 12%. I've tried different outlets at different locations. And I've tested the charger cable on my phone and it charges that just fine. Which is more likely: the battery is defective or there is a problem with the jetpack itself? and the real kicker is that I've only had it for a week.

Happy Friday cjyoyomasta! I wanted to reach out to you to see if you received the assistance that you need with your jetpack. May I ask have you took the device to the store for assistance? If so, what was the results? If you can provie us with a status update then we can assist, if still needed.
Thank you…

My iphone 5 is coming up with a warning everytime I plug it in to say that the cable is not authorized, (and is not charging). I am using the cable that came with the phone!

I have tried using my daughter's iphone 5 cable, also original from apple, and it is doing the same thing!!
I had no trouble until today! I undated to OS7 about 2 weeks ago.
any suggestions?

We aren't Apple, just users like you volunteering to help other users with problems. Threatening to go to Samsung doesn't mean anything to us. What troubleshooting have you tried so far?
