I have a new 16 gb ipod touch bought today ,tried to connect to computer via usb .but computer says device has malfunctioned and computer not recognize it i have tried to restore the ipod and also reinstalled itunes .also checked and restarted AMDS ,HELP what is going on Please

Try this. With your iPod plugged into the usb go to device manager and see if you see a yellow question mark next to and unknown usb device. If you do right click and choose to uninstall the device. Then unplug your iPod and reboot your computer and plug back in your iPod. This is assuming you have Windows. Hope this helps.

  • Computer says usb/device not recognized when plugged in??

    When I plug in my sons ipod nano 7th generation, just recently says usb/device not recognized and doesn't light up when plugged into the wall either??? Any suggestions??

    This came from another thread, but worked for me.  Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62.  Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update).  Reboot, and reinstall iTunes.  It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano.  Good luck.

    You are installing the Apple Mobile Device USB driver, which I did not have to do previously, so something in the updates has been left out / or changed.

    ps.its my only charger and i need to know if i can fix this problem or my mac broke my charger

    Hey HoustonSmith, using to much power generally means a short. Do not use this cable, the lighting cables have a history of failure; shorting out. If within one year of purchase date take it to Apple, the cable also has a one year warranty, if short is do to manufacturing flaw and not abuse Apple will replace it free! Otherwise a new cable is around $30. You could also try a reset or restore, but don't think a glitch is your problem. If you do try to restore, just remember to make backup copies of all the info / data on this iPod to your computer first, then attempt to restore. Good luck. Cheers.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
