Computer won't recognise EOS 1100D

I have and EOS 1100D and recently it has stopped connecting to computers. I've tried laptops and my stationary computer which the camera has worked with before. It doens't seem to be a problem with the cable because I've tried several of them and the computer just says "USB device not recognized. The last USB device you connected to this computer malfuntioned and Windows does nit recognise it. Reccomendation; Try recconecting the device. If Windows still does not regognize it, your device may not be working properly". I have windwos 8.1. I've tried restarting, reconnecting, removing and putting the memory card back in, charging it, putting it into other usb hubs and I am really starting to panic beacuse I do not want to spend more money on this.

Have you installed the Canon software on the computer? I think you'll at least need EOS Utiilities installed, to be able to connect via the USB cord. Even if you have it installed, it might be worth updating to see if that resolves the problem. Alternatively, have you checked for updates to your computer operating system (Windows 8.1)? Or have you recently done an update that might have undone something, since it sounds as if you were able to connect the camera previously? You may need to do an update, do another update or patch, or even undo a recent change to correct the problem. It's possible the USB cable itself has failed. Worst case, the mini USB socket in the camera is damaged and not communicating properly. This would be expensive to repair, since the socket is usually part of the main board of the camera and that would likely have to be completely replaced. ***********

My computer won't recognise my ipod shuffle

my computer won't recognise my ipod shuffle

So I recently had this same problem. My Shuffle 2nd gen would not be recognized by my iTunes. It had been a few years since i used it and at one point may have been connected to iTunes on a PC. After several tries at troubleshooting, I realized that maybe the device is corrupted. Since my iMac would not recognize the Shuffle, I connected to a PC and it appeared as a disk. I reformatted the Shuffle in FAT32, plugged it back into my iMac and iTunes recognized it just fine but as a new device. So if you have access to a PC, reformat it there and then try your Mac iTunes again.

My computer won't recognise my touch

HELP!!!!!! My computer won't recognise my new touch zen... I'm running windows 98SE, did all the updates and still nothing, any suggestions?

Seanix200,
Ok, first off, when you plugged it in, did the system find new hardware? Do you get any indication that Windows sees that there is a device plugged into the USB port. If not then you may want to move to another USB port or try another system to make sure that this is not a problem with the Zen Touch itself.
If it does say it found new hardware, go into Device Manager and find the listing for the Zen Touch...it may be an unknown USB device. If it has an exclamation next to it, then you will want to double click on it and choose to reinstall the driver. This will give you another shot at the install.

Windows 8 doesn't recognise EOS 1100d

I have a Canon EOS 1100D which isn't connecting to my home computer which has recently been installed with windows 8. On the laptop it works (which also has windows 8). I have downloaded the updated driver but when you turn the camera on it the computer just doesn't recognise it. If I go into 'control panel' then 'devices' it shows the canon icon there as a device but with an explanation mark beside it. When I right click it says it doesnt have an updated driver.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Thanks for thr ideas but I've tried changing usb ports. At the same port though if you put a usb storage stick in it does recognize it.. the computer makes a noise like it knows something is connected but camera turns off after not long and you cant access the photos. It works on laptop which I find strange

My computer won't recognise my iPod Classic, even in disk mode?

I have a 160GB 6th generation iPod classic and my itunes won't recognise it. When I plug it into my laptop the laptop makes the noise as to say it has a new device connected, but it won't show up in my windows explorer or in my itunes. I have googled it and seen that I can put it into disk mode to try and fix it but when I do that the screen says OK to disconnect, and doesn't change even when I plug it into my computer. The laptop still doesn't recognise it then. I have tried different leads and the computer makes the 'recognises new device' noise with both, but it still doesn't work. The ipod doesn't say it is connected, the charging icon doesn't even come up on the battery on the screen of the ipod but I have left it plugged in and it is charging. I think it's a problem with the iPod as even when I plug it into the plug socket to charge the same thing happens, with no response from the battery icon. The screen does however light up when it's plugged in so the iPod recognises that it is plugged into a charging source, but thats just the backlight coming on and nothing else and it won't let me sync it or anything.
I can't get to an apple store for over 3 weeks as I am home for Easter and there's none near me but any help would be appreciated!!
I have restarted it multiple times, it still doesn't work.

Bump, I have this exact problem.
iPod Classic, 160GB, running the latest OS
Charges, but doesn't display charging icon (no lightning bolt in the top right). Doesn't recognize that it is plugged into the computer, and the computer doesn't recognize it (MacBook Pro, again, latest OS).
I have reset it... twice. And I've put it in disc mode - same results.
It will charge off my computer, but it won't sync, and it hasn't for about a week, so my podcasts are all out of date
Thanks for the help!

My computer won't recognise my i pod shuffle

I have tried virtually everything I have installed the latest service pack tried masses of the advice apple has on the web, my computer is a good one but it just won't recognise my i pod.

You can try this procedure to reset the iPod shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
Then, shut down your computer (power off) and start it up, with iPod shuffle NOT connected. Run iTunes. Then, try connecting the iPod shuffle again.
If that iPod is less than one year old, it is under warranty. You can contact Apple (or make an appointment at an Apple Store Genius Bar) to see about getting it replaced (if it's broken).
Otherwise, two likely possibilties are that (1) the cable used to connect the iPod to computer is bad, or (2) the connector on the iPod has gone bad.
Which iPod shuffle model is it? The document above with reset procedure shows the four models.

TS1368 Computer won't recognise ipod touch

My computer wouldn't recognise my ipod touch in either itunes or my computer, so i then erased it and reset the factory settings and now it just has the "connect to itunes" logo appear on the screen and it is still unrecognisable by my computer. How can this problem be fixed?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Computer won't recognise 2nd ipod

hi, i'm having issues adding another ipod to my system. I already have an ipod mini that i've had for nearly a year now, my brother has just bought an ipod with iphoto. for some reason the computer we share just will not recognise his ipod. it seems to be the usb connection that's causing the problem (although there's nothing wrong with either the cable or the ipod as we've tested both on our mum's laptop), the usb port still recognises my mini but won't even acknowledge that his iphoto is plugged in.
does anyone have any suggestions, am i even making sense?

Ipod 80Gb - 5 R's haven't worked, computer won't recognise, please help.

Hey there kindly folk,
I've read through posts on this and other sites and tried what feels like hours worth of solutions but I'm at my wits end. Here's the details, hope someone can help.
1) Have 80GB classic Ipod.
2) All has been working fine for months ...
3) Recently plugged it in to sync and Windows Vista popped up a screen saying something like 'drive is corrupted' and asked me if I wanted to repair it. I said yes, nothing much happened.
4) Since then, neither Itunes, nor my computer, will recognise my ipod.
5) Have checked device manager, it's not there. Even after multiple resets and switching to other USB ports.
6) Have tried the '5 R's' with no success.
7) Have updated all vista and itunes software. No success.
7) Have tried putting it into disk mode. Got it into disk mode but computer still wouldn't recognise it.
8) Now the battery has drained and it won't charge. When I try to reset the ipod it's screen shows a yellow ! point and says 'connect to power'. As the computer doesn't seem to recognise it exists, it won't power up. Have left it plugged in for hours, with no success.
So, I guess the question is - what now? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers!

Have you got an AC power adapter? They used to be shipped with ipod, and I still got mine from the 3rd gen one.
You DO need that to fully recharge ipod. An apple store will either sell you one or even perhaps charge it for you.
Should they exchange it, the IFRST thing, you must do is plug into the AC charger, PRIOR to connecting it to computer. For some reason, apple do recommend a FULL AC charge first.
Good luck

Why won't my computer won't recognise my ipod?

I just bought my ipod nano today. At first everything was ok and it was charging while I set up itunes. Then i had to take a phone call and my laptop went on standby.. now my computer wont recognise my ipod at all, and the ipod isn't charging. But the ipod lights up when i plug it into the computer so obviously it recognises the computer. I even tried going into control panel and changing the usb settings but it didn't work! Is the problem with my ipod, the usb connection or my computer?? HELP!!!

Have you tried resetting the iPod while it's connected? This will often get it to show up. If not, are you on Windows or Mac? Have you seen this;

My ipod touch 5th gen won't turn on or reset and my computer won't recognise it. It's 1 day old and all I did was try to plug it into the speaker system

My ipod touch 5th generation was purchased brand new yesterday. After charging it and loading my music i went to plug it into my icoustic dock which I got as a bundle with the ipod only to have my ipod screen go blank and now it refuses to turn on, reset or get recognised by my computer or itunes. I have the latests software as it was only uploaded last night. Should I be taking it back to the shop? Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

Computer won't recognise phone

Halfway thru downloading the latest update, my iPhone showed an icon that said I need to pkug it into iTunes, and iTunes had a 'cannot find hone' error. I've tried restarting the phone, replacing the sim, plugging it in but all I get is that icon. The phone isn't recognised by the comupet at all. Need the **** thing this weekend of course!

From this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
