Computer doesn't recognize my mini!

I just updated, then read on the forum that perhaps my ipod is set on manual instead of auto - so I checked under preferences. It said no ipod connected, but it is! the pod, meanwhile, simply says "do not disconnect" and iTunes just sits there with the icon. this has never happened before and I checked the port and everything. I'm at a loss and frustrated.
osx Mac OS X (10.3.9)

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are.
Still no joy? See these.
iPod doesn't appear in iTunes or on the Mac desktop.
iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X.
iPod appears on the Mac OS X desktop but not in iTunes.
Try to restore it in disk mode.

Computer doesn't recgonize ipod mini

In mid October after the release of the 10-11-2005 updater my computer stopped recognizing my ipod mini. The ipod no longer shows up in Explorer and does not receive a charge. Was excited to see the 1-10-06 updates but have not had any luck with this version either. I've had the ipod since 12/04 and had no issues prior to the last round of updates.
I have tried the following fixes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Tested USB ports, they work with other devices
Tested hooked ipod up to another XP machine was not found as new hardware, tested another device on the same machine it was recognized as new hardware
Replaced the USB cable
Deinstalled/reinstalled Itunes and Ipod
Tried all teh steps to reset ipod, can't get it to go to disk mode, can't restore because the computer doesn't think its connected.
Reinstalled XP SP2
Deinstalled any new or funky software, disabled any virus or security software.

"i've tried hooking my ipod up to every usb port i
have, including a usb hub, but each time i get a
message saying that the usb device is not recognized
and there are no drivers installed for the device. i
have tried restarting my computer and reseting the
ipod. the battery is charged. I even downloaded and
installed the newest ipod updater but then realized
it couldnt do anything because the computer doesn't
recognize the mini.
urgh.
i've been working on this for like a month.
please help.
much love.

My ipad mini has water damage but when I plug into wall it says to connect to itunes. When I plug into Mac nothing happens. Not even a charging sign and nothing happens with itunes. Computer doesn't recognize it's plugged in.

If moisture got inside, it may have shorted the iPad's electronics.

Computer doesn't recognize my Zen Mozaic

I have a new Zen Mozaic MP3 player (about 2 months old). I have been using Windows Media player to transfer music from my PC (XP OS) to the player without any problems until now.
Now my computer doesn't recognize the MP3 player as being connected to the USB port. I uninstalled the Creative software that came with the player and then reinstalled and it didn't fix the problem. Also I've tried connecting other flash dri'ves and the computer recognizes them.... Also, shutting down and restarting the PC didn't help either.
Is anybody having this same issue?
Any help would be appreciated.

Don't know if this will help but if you are not using the usb port that came with your player the computer may charge but not? reconize the player. At least that is what is happening with mine.
same as to what i was thinking. if this is really the case, i always do stick with its original accessories like the usb port.

My Windows 8.1 computer doesn't recognize my iPod nano 7th generation. Why?

My Windows 8.1 computer doesn't recognize my iPod nano 7th generation. Why?
When I connect my iPod to my computer, nothing happens. I've read the tips in the section "support" and I noticed that maybe Windows 8 is not one of the operating systems that are compatible with an iPod nano 7th generation. If I'm right, what can I do if my only device is a Windows 8?

Hi, Grafiti.
Thank you for the question. Below, I have attached a couple troubleshooting articles that will help resolve the device not being recognized by iTunes.

I have an 11" MacBook Air. When I plug in my VGA adapter to my Thunderbolt port, the computer doesn't recognize it ... unless I reboot the computer. Is there another way to get the computer to recognize the adapter? (It works with my MacBook Pro)

Thanks for the useful feedback, Knucklesmac. I agree. I must have blown something on the logic board -- because I had a faulty old KVM switch that would not switch between computers without some nasty hot-plugging/unplugging the VGA video cables. (wince!). It's like when Dizzy Dean ruined his arm because a line drive hit him in the foot and he readjusted his mechanics around the injury. I take the blame because this has been a great computer, and does not deserve any blame.
If it will help anyone else reading this thread, C2G (née Cables to Go) has some interesting ideas for still getting external video out of this computer:
-USB-to-VGA
http://www.cablestogo.com/product/30545
-Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA
http://www.cablestogo.com/product/40971
The price range is $75-$85, which doesn't make horse sense to me for such an old computer -- which has a lot of life in it anyway, because its own 15" monitor is not chopped liver.

You cannot override but you can chage it, the approach depends on the Mac OS X you are using.

My computer doesn't recognize my Zen Creative Vision:M (30 GB) anymore

? I still use XP and I have this mp3-player for a year now and it has been working fine until yesterday. I ripped Stefani's first album and tried to drag one of her songs on my mp3-player, but the player couldn't handle the file it seemed. So it fell out, on, out, on and I just unplugged it. Then I plugged it back in, but ever since my computer doesn't recognize it (in the media explorer it also says it's not plugged in). The videos in my library also seemed to be missing all of the sudden (only the maps remained).. and?I re-installed every programm, including windows media player, and the only outcome of it is that my computer now labels it as a MTP Media Player. So now it does connect, but i still can't transfer files or get into the player's system.
It's strange, because many people have encountered this problem and the solutions seem to vary; one even solved it by simply re-installing WMP, which didn't work for me.
Help would be awesome, guys!

From the recovery screen do a Clean-up,reboot. If you have copies of all your music you may need to Format the player (do not choose reload firmware or anything like that)? http://forums.creative.com/creativel...scending&page=

This problem sort of solved itself. The iPod kept running until the battery went dead, and when I plugged it in to power this morning, it behaved normallyh.
