Cannot recognize usb device

When i plug my Iphone 3G in to my XP Windows computer I get the error message "Cannot Recognize Usb Device" it only happens with this phone as I have a Iphone 4 and my computer recognizes it straight away.
can anyboby help plz?

Have you tried other USB ports? It has to be USB 2.0, the other thing you might do is reset the router and computer - by turning off computer, unplug computer and unplug router, after about 30 seconds plug them back in and turn the computer on.
I walked 4 customers through this yesterday and it worked each time.

USB cannot recognize the device when i plugged my ...

Hello there
I have a problem when i plugged my n95 to the computer, the USB doesn't recognize. Even i tried with settings the device, connect with the PC suite, and also roll back the system in both my computer and n95, tried to connect with another computer but it isn't working also. I posted my problem here because i cannot find anywhere to post, sorry if I posted wrong. And do you have any solutions for me, plz help me.
My device firmware is v30.0.015
Thanks you very much

Next thing then would be to ensure that your camera/USB device is installed correctly. Click here to view Microsoft's web page on this subject. After installing the USB device, restart your computer. See if that doesn't do the trick. If not, we can go from there.

Windows recognizes USB device but neither it nor iTunes recognize iPod

I just got a iPod shuffle this morning and tried to install it. When I first installed the software and restarted, I plugged in the shuffle, iTunes opened, and the iPod appeared on the iTunes menu. Immediately thereafter, however, a message popped up on my screen informing that Windows had recognized new hardware, installed it, but needed to restart. I restarted. Since then I have not been able to get iTunes to recognize the iPod shuffle. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the iPod software and iTunes several times, and followed all the tutorials I could on the website. Now I am actually afraid I have messed something up by deleting the uninstall file for iTunes somehow... so I can't seem to uninstall or reinstall anymore.
Anyway, regardless, I wouldn't care about uninstalling iTunes again if it would just recognize the shuffle.
I should also add that when the iPod is plugged in, the iPod blinks with the Amber light (signifying disk mode??) and Windows still recognizes a USB device... If I go to device management it even called it an "Apple iPod Device" but I can't seem to get any other recognition of it.

Did you ever get an answer?
My Shuffle is flashing Amber/Green (Disk Mode).
I tried removing then reinstalling iTunes and the iPod
updater. I start the updater then plug in the Shuffle.
Windows recognizes the Apple iPod USB Device. Then
everything freezes. The updater freezes. If I use
task manager to kill the process, I still can't eject
the USB device from Windows. If I try to shut down,
the computer hangs. I have to hard reboot the system.
This is a catch-22. How do you use the updater if the
computer doesn't really recognize the Shuffle? By the
way the same thing happens if I try to use the updater
from my laptop.

Look in Finder > Preferences > General tab > check External Disks to show the usb device on the desktop.
Do the same in the Sidebar tab if desired.

Upgraded operating system won't recognize usb device

I recently upgraded my operating system to Mavericks OS X 10.9.4, and now when I try to upload pictures from my camera into Adobe Bridge, it says that it does not recognize the device. I have tried using different USB cords with no luck and I am not sure what else to try. I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

New wdtv, 1.02.17, cannot detect usb-device

Have had wdtv for years. Small to no problems. Use only external harddrive, no streaming at all. Bought a new wdtv for daughter the other day. First thing noticed is new GUI (the old one was better). But ok. The other thing is that the wd my book or the wd my passport is not detected. Waited for several minutes, in case the new wdtv was slow. Nothing happened. Tried the old one (same chassis but onother gui), 1.12.14. Both usb-devices detected at once. Is it something I am missing? I have used wdtv for years, since 1. generation, only for usb-connection. Have had almost no problems (use apple-tv for streaming Thanks

Cannot unmount USB device

I have an Archos AV5100 connected to my Mac via USB, however whenever I try and "eject" it, after a few seconds, it comes back. If I disconnect it, I get a warning telling me I may have corrupted files on my USB device.
The only workaround I have at the moment is to shut down my Mac when I want to disconnect my Archos, but this is not satisfactory.
Is the problem with the Mac or the Archos? If it's the Archos, I'm probably screwed, as (like many companies) they won't support Macs.

After you disconnect it and get the warning, are
there, in fact, any further problems with it? The
warning is dire, but if the data on the Archos
remains stable, this may be something you will just
have to live with.
Well, there aren't any problems that I know of so far. Archos have been no help whatsoever, simply telling me in their first response to disconnect the Archos as per the instructions (which I already told them I was doing) and their second response was barely understandable,
"This problem comes from the USB controller on Mac OS X. What you need to do is to terminate the USB connexion son the Terminal, or via the "Suspend Application" application.[sic]". Very helpful.
The reason I am concerned is that as soon as I click on the eject icon for the AV500 or drag it to the Trash, the red light on the AV500 (that indicates disk read/write activity) starts flickering away and before it has stopped, the AV500 icon has reappeared on the desktop.

TS1368 seems like itunes cannot recognize the device connected to it, please help

my iphone cannot connect to itunes, already tried to check the cable and the usb port of the deskstop pc and even the notebook still the same.. can anyone help me resolve this issue?

Make sure you are using a main USB port off the computer, USB 2.0 is the only way the iPod will function properly. If you are using Windows XP, the iPod will show up under the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon as well as Device Manager. The reason the iPod does not show up in iTunes or My Computer is because the computer thinks the iPod and hard drive are the same letter. To fix this problem follow these steps:
Go to START
Control Panel
Administrative Tools
Computer Management
Click on Disk Management (Lower Left)
Right Click on the iPod "Drive"
Click on Change Drive Letter and Paths
Click on Add
Select any letter above D:
A message will pop-up, click OK
Restart the computer
Windows will now recognize the iPod as a separate drive in My Computer and it will also appear in iTunes.
The "Do Not Disconnect" icon is normal when the iPod is connected to the computer.
I hope this info is helpful!

HELP!!! After faulty update of BB's 8310 OS computer no longer recognizes usb device

i can tell more about it: i had a BB 8310 with working 4.2.2 OS, later i updated it to newest 4.5 version (i updated it using newest apploader 4.5) and it worked fine, but when i installed desktop software 4.5 and uploaded one game second programs action was - it said: updateing system software, i thought maybe it had found some more new system software or something. After that it had rebooted the BB, computer said "completed succesfully" , but the phone didn't start - it went all white and said "549" error. everything i thought would be fixable, but from that point computer doesn't seem to recognize my phone. i did all the possible steps i could find on forums, like: puting baterry in and while the led is red puting mini usb cable in, but nothing seems to work. Is it fixable? i know for i fact that the cable is working. Please good people - help.

OK...even though 549 is not documented in the RIM KB's, it sounds like your BB got bricked in the attempted update process. Here are some articles that might help you recover it:

Cannot recognize USB HD through AEBS

I just got in my AEBS yesterday, after much waiting. After disconnecting my current wireless router (Belkin, which worked fine but had no USB disk port) I installed the AEBS. My family's laptops are able to access the internet just fine through the AEBS, but I can't get my USB HD (Maxtor 200 GB External HD) to mount no matter what.
When I run Airport Disk Utility, it recognizes Base Station XXXXXX as a USB drive. When I look at the Disk tab of Airport Extreme Utility, it shows the Maxtor HD with both partitions. But when I go to access the disk through the menu bar and type in my password, I get the "Rainbow Pinwheel of Misfortune" for about a minute, and then a message box pops up telling me that the password or account was invalid, or something to that extent.
Does anyone know what compatibility issues have surfaces regarding the USB HD function on AEBS? I never saw any mention of compatibility in any of the adverts I had seen.

Okay, spent 1:39:41 on the phone with Apple Tech supt yesterday. Didn't get a perfect fix, but the tech helped me find a workaround:
Although the external USB HD wouldn't mount automatically, I learned that you can mannually connect to the server (in the Finder menu, under GO. Or you can just 'command-K'.) by typing in the IP address assigned to your router (the default for AEBS in 10.0.1.1, but you can also change the first two groups to 192.168 as well. If you've made this change already, type that address in for the server). Once I did that, I had to provide my account password and was given a choice of drives to mount (my external HD or connecting to my desktop iMac, which is wired to the base station).

Mac Pro won't recognize USB devices

Hi all,
My Mac Pro does not seem to recognize cameras (Canon Vixia and GoPro White) or card readers (USB 2.0). When I restart the computer, it recognizes the Vixia, but automatically opens iTunes, where it's not intuittive how to copy just the folder to an external hard drive. Why is this? Is there a fix? I tried running the firmware update, but received an alert that the update was not compatible with my machine.
I'm using a 3.7 GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5 with 16 GB RAM, running OS 10.9.3.

I had a similar problem that arose because Apple over-rode the original USB drivers with a kernal extension.
UNloading the extension fixed my problems. Perhaps it will help you.
In a terminal, type this:
sudo kextunload -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBFTDI
If it solves your problem, keep in mind you'll have to do it after every reboot (a good use for command line history.)
If it doesn't, you can put it right back with this:
sudo kextload -b com.apple.driver.AppleUSBFTDI
Hope that helps. I should also warn you that in my experience, 10.9.3's USB performance is terrible.

Cannot install USB device, install wizard freezes when installing SiLib.sys

Hello,
I have installed LabView and all the software required for running a program for tremor evaluation. When I plug a TremorScope via USB connection it starts Hardware Installation wizard, but the installation does not complete and system freezes when installing SiLib.sys. The OS is Windows XP.
Do you have any solution how to finish the installation or what is going wrong. Thank you for your help.

Why don't you ask the vendor of the device? It does not have anything to do with LabVIEW.

My iPad has a passcode on it, but it got typed in too many times, and now it has been disabled. However, when I try to plug it into iTunes, it tells me it cannot recognize the device until you enter the passcode.

My ipad has been disabled and now I'm trying to get it to work again. However, when I plug it into my computer it says that i need to type in the passcode, but i can't until it connects to itunes...also, my ipad has only been plugged into my friend's computer. it has never been plugged into a computer since then. Would this have anything to do with my problem?

This probably has nothing to do with plugging into your friends computer, but unless you have a backup, everything on the iPad will be lost.
You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
You will probably have to use recovery mode
