"Device Not Recognized" - but for only one of three iPods?

Hi-
I am hoping to get some help, as I am stumpted. Here are the symptoms:
1) I have been successfully syncing two Nanos and a Mini on the same XP machine for sometime
2) One of the Nanos now gets a "device not recognized" message upon connecting, while the other two iPods will still connect just fine.
3) I've tried charging it fully (and running it down), the five R's, putting it into disk mode (updater doesn't recognize it's attached so can't restore), and installing iTunes on another machine (other machine doesn't recognize it, either).
4) The problem Nano charges and plays just fine on its own.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Try downloading and installing iPod Updater 2006-01-10 (the version previous to the 2006-03-23) and restoring your iPod with that.

If your iPod encounters difficulties being recognized with this updater, put it into disk mode first:

Keep us posted!

  • Flash not displaying correctly for only one web site

    In the last 3 or 4 days I seem to have problems with the flash content of one single web site not displaying correctly from my laptop.  I have the same problem from both IE (version7.0.5730.11) and from FF (3.5.8).  The site works fine from my desktop system so it's not the site specifically.  The site (www.transparent.com/wotd/today/spanish.htm) has an embeded flash segment that does not display correctly and thus I can't click on two of the embedded buttons.  It also does not display the background pattern for the flash.  I'm running flash 10.0.45.2 based upon right clicking from within the embedded flash which takes me to the Adobe page with my version info.  The Adobe page seems to display fine.
    As far as I know I'm not having problems with another instance of flash - only this site.
    Any thoughts on how to diagnose the problem?  I've not added any new programs since this website stopped working but do have some background "tune up" programs that run.  I'm assuming some settings are out of wack but don't know where to start looking.  Any help folks woulc provide would be appreicated.

    Well, that is hard to tell. Like I said the website may have updated their technology. Just because it works with the Desktop, doesn't mean there is not a reason that the laptop might not have a problem. You have 2 different systems and
    most likely different configurations.
    You may want to check Tools and in the add ons for both, look for Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control..Flash10e.ocx should be installed and enabled.
    Also for each check C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash  Right click the Flash folder and make sure for IE that the files are vs 10.0.45.2 by checking the properties.
    If you have the correct Flash files and the correct SWO then, some other cause would be looked at.
    It has been my experience to not "assume", but verify:-)
    Thanks,

  • No Apple TV icon but for only one movie

    I can play my music or any other of my previously purchased movies thorugh my apple tv but a movie I purchased last night has no apple tv icon.
    Double checked, played some music from purchased and also imported works ok
    check previously purchased movies and some I made in iMovie, works ok
    Back to the one I purchased last night, works fine on the computer so download was ok but no apple tv icon option !

    The exact same thing was happening on my Apple TV.  I purchased the latest episode of Doctor Who (Hide), and the video (picture) played fine, but the audio was just static.
    I tried loading the episode on my iPad 2 and play it that way.  After it loaded, it played fine, video and audio on my iPad 2's internal speaker.  When I tried to AirPlay it to the Apple TV, the audio was static again.  Even when I plugged my iPad 2 directly into the TV via HDMI converter cable, the audio was still static.
    This is the ONLY episode of Doctor Who (and only digital content, EVER, since owning an Apple TV 3rd gen since its release) that played this way.  All other content, Doctor Who, other TV shows, movies, and services (such as NetFlix & HuluPlus) all play audio just fine.
    I did some research and ended up here on this thread.
    I turned off Dolby Digital Audio as suggested and the audio worked fine.  Problem solved, but I lost a couple hours to this nonsense.  I call it "nonsense" because I found evidence that this problem has been documented and discussed since 2009 (including an article on Cnet).  Stuff happens, technology isn't perfect, and people make mistakes, but a 4 year old problem still sending folks on wild goose chases for a fix?  Not cool.
    Oh well.  At least I'm a little wiser for the trouble.

  • Reinstalling data from Time Capsule, but for only one user

    Hello!
    I just got a new-used MacBook Pro and need to use Time Capsule to retrieve my old hard drive's data, but I do not want to overwrite the existing data on the laptop's drive, since it is different, including the OS, I believe. I would like to split the disc, as it were, without partitioning it, for multiple users using Time Capsule. Can I safely use Time Capsule to put all the files only into one user account, or do I need to wipe the drive and partition...?

    You can use the +Migration Assistant+ app to transfer one or more user accounts from the old Mac, without overwriting anything on the new one. Those will be a separate accounts, with the same logins as on the old Mac. Each user account will have it's own preferences, data, etc. See the pink box in #19 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), for details.
    That won't "merge" two or more user accounts, since each user's data is private. You can do that manually, if you want, by copying data from one user account to another, but it's rather tedious.
    You may also need to be careful if there's a big difference in the versions of OSX and/or 3rd-party apps on the two Macs; you may have apps and/or data on one that aren't compatible with the other. In many cases, a newer version of an app will work with the data from an older version, but not vice-versa. You may want to check that out rather carefully first.
    If that's a "deal breaker," there may be a (rather clumsy) workaround; partition the internal disk, so you have, say, Leopard on one partition and Snow Leopard on the other. Then boot from whichever you want. In that case, you'd do a full system restore to the new partition, per #14 in the FAQ. That will only work, though, if the Pro will even run the other version -- generally, a Mac won't run a version of OSX that's older than the Mac's hardware.

  • USB Device not recognized (looking for honest answer)

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes,restored my ipod (menu+ center keys pushed down @ the same time),uninstalled USB port hubs some of these will work for a time then the problem will start again I dont wanna have to get a new ipod so any honest answer would be greatly appreciated.

    DId you uninstall iTunes and all it's components? Or just the iTunes program?  Apple Mobile Device would be the main cause more than likely. So it is important whether you uninstalled all the programs or just iTunes. If so what I would try next is putting the device into recovery mode and seeing if it detects it like that.

  • "USB Device Not Recognized" each time I plug in my iPod 4th Generation Touch

    I did all my updates a few nights ago (ios), and now my USB ports (all 3) on my laptop will not recognize my iPod Touch. My other iPod approved USB plug-ins (speakers, wall charger, car charger, etc.) will not charge my iPod now. I have no idea what to do. Any great techno minds out there?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - See:       
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

  • Disk Image Won't Mount - Reason: Device Not Recognized

    As I've searched the discussion forums, I've seen plenty of postings for "Disk Image Won't Mount" and for "Device Not Recognized" but not the way I'm seeing it on my laptop.
    After a backup and restore, my mac will no longer mount any... and I mean any images. I have downloaded several security or software updates from different vendors and each .dmg file will not mount. I still have the .dmg files in hopes that after I get this problem solved, I'll be able to install them, but...
    It always gives the same reason for not mounting and I'm at a loss on what to do next. I've run Software Update hoping it will be a quick fix, but have had no success.
    Any suggestions?

    I have a similar problem. Using FireWire disk mode, I put a disk image of my entire iBook onto my iMac as a back-up. (For an unrelated problem, Apple told me I needed to erase my iBook completely and do a clean install of the system.) Well, I screwed something up. I don't know what exactly--maybe I didn't "put away" the device correctly, but the next day when I flipped on my iMac, the disk image of my iBook was just gone, and not to be found anywhere. I finally succeeded in restoring the image using TechTool, which scanned the entire volume of the iMac for directory information. And it's all there, because the img file is more than 10GB. But when I double-click on it, I get the following error msg: "The following disk images failed to mount...reason--not recognized." I've checked the app it's supposed to open with, permissions, and run Disk Utility volume repair. No dice. Any ideas??? Did I mention that this is EVERYTHING I had on my iBook???

  • Changing DB character set for only one schema

    We are interested in changing the characterset of only one user from Western European to AL32UTF8.
    Could you please verify if the following steps will be correct to do the same.
    1. Run CSScan on the one user
    2. Fix any issues
    3. Export that one user (with NLS_LANG set to <your old database character set>)
    4. Create a new database in the AL32UTF8 character set
    5. Import that one user into the new database (with NLS_LANG set to <your old database character set>)

    Actually your title is a little incorrect. You are not changing CS for only one schema in existing DB which is not possible. You are trying to migrate a schema to new CS DB. Which is totally doable and your approach is mostly correct.
    Database Character Set Scanner provide user scan mode
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14225/ch12scanner.htm#i1006013
    Mostly the issue could be data truncation, especially if you have column defined using char or varchar2 vs nchar and nvarchar2
    because char/varchar is defined in bytes, AL32UTF8 is multi-bytes char set, some character of your old data could saved more than 1 bytes in new DB and can't fit into the column size.

  • EA2: Code is generated for only one column with Domain check constraint.

    I created a Domain with a Value List (Y or N - Yes or No) and used that domain for two columns in the same table. But for only one column (the last one) the check appears in the generated DDL.
    After I enabled the "Use Domain Constraints" both checks appear in the DDL, but one as an inline check constraint and one as an "Alter table add contraint.."
    Once I changed the naming Template for the check constraint, both constraints are generated as an Alter table clause. The inline check constraint is only generated when the name of the constraint (according to the template) is too long. It would be nice if I could choose if I want an inline or a separate check constraint definition.

  • "USB Device Not Recognized. One of the USB devices has malfunctioned..."

    I'm running Windows XP with external hard drive. When hard drive is connected, iPod will not sync and I get message stating "USB Device Not Recognized. One of the USB devices has malfunctioned..."
    When disconnect the external drive, he iPod appears in My Computer. However, iTunes is on external drive; therefore music is not syncing onto iPod. I've attempted the 5 R's as well as searching for iPod in Device Mananger. When iPod is conncected, it is listed in Devce Manage as "Unknown Device."
    I've changed drive letters on boh iPod and external drive and get the same message. Please help.

    QRe: Zen MX Causes "USB Hardware has Malfunctioned" Msg from Windows XpyUhh, Yes.
    I used to same cable to attach my Motorola Razr and the computer correctly found it and identified it as such.
    I also tried another cable (brand new) same thing.
    I went to recovery mode and did a "CLEAN UP" but no dice.
    I also got my I.S. tech guy to look into it and on the USB page it say "UNKNOWN DEVICE"? when he tried to delete it it did not help, it just reappears as "UDVC"? Also in looking into it it seems to have no drivers.
    He came to this site and tried to do somethinm through here but it did'nt work.
    Now in listening to it last night it began to 'skip' or what I call 'HICCUP" terribly. Where a song starts and stops, during the middle of it. ? It's always done it a little but it has been getting more and more common and now? It's WAY worse about it.
    It has never been dropped, or nishandled in any way. I bought the clear hard case to protect it. And only has about 300 songs on it. Never used for anything else. No vids no pics, nothing.
