"USB device not recognized" when ipod plugged in???
(ipod mini 4gb)
When I plug my ipod into my laptop I get the message: "USB device not recognized." It says the device has malfunctioned!!! If I click on this error message it says my ipod is an unknown device and no drivers are installed for it???
It was working fine until a few days ago. If i reset it I can charge it up but that's all, it still does not appear in itunes or on my computer.
I've tried eveything on the help website but nothing works! Can anyone help?!
patriot 3050 Windows XPok my question is do you have a mac or windows based laptop
here is why and what happened to my ipod mini
my ipod mini was connected to my macintosh charging while i was using my imac and it came up with a system update 10.4.3 i installed it and finished installing it and afterwards my apple wouldn't recongnize my ipod mini or even display it one the screen i found out by myself that when the apple update got to the end of the update it installed new hard drive drivers but also installed the drivers on the ipod mini which locked out the mini's internal hard drive and my mini then stop responding it would play music and charge but wouldn't connect to the computer
so what i did to fix it was this
i went into utilites in mac os x tiger or any version of os x has this and selected disk utility you will notice that the ipod will appesr in disk utility but not on the desktop this is due to a recent system update driver that isn't compatible with the internal drive on the ipod mini so in disk utility just select format the drive in a mac os partition standard works the best it will then format the ipod and the ipod will apear in the desktop again but not as a ipod let me explain when you format the ipod using the disk utility it formats and even erases the firmware of of the hard drive on the mini so when you are done formating the ipod run the ipod updater to reinstall the ipod's operating system and presto your ipod will now work again
warning: i don't know how to fix this on a ipod in windows so if this is a windows based laptop you need to find someone witha macintosh to do this with sorry -

In iTunes, select "enable disk use" to allow your computer to recognize/detect your ipod. Cheers!

I'm getting a message "USB Device Not Recognized" when I try to sync my iPad. What do I do?
Is the iPod Touch specifically stated as being compatible? Have you tried to perfrom a hard reset of the iPod with it still connected? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

"USB Device not Recognized" when shuffle is plugged into computer
Everytime I plug my shuffle into my Dell laptop it comes up with the message "USB device not recognized". The shuffle doesn't show up in my computer or itunes. I've done some of things that it says to try, but I'd really like to get this fixed and get my shuffle working. Typically when I plug it in, it blinks once, yellow/orange, and then no more, and the notice comes up on the computer screen. If this makes a difference, the shuffle worked fine until last summer when my hard drive crashed. Upon installing a new hard drive, the shuffle began to not work/sync with my computer as it had been before. Any suggestions on how to get my shuffle working again? Much appreciated!
Well start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

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.

USB device not recognized when in Win XP
When I plug my Ipod touch into the computer via the cable, I get an error message
"USB device not recognized". I've tried to delete and reload Itunes, I've reset the Ipod and reset all the original settings. I've tried several of the USB ports and also tried 3 different cords for the Ipod. Can anyone help me??? I can get it to plug into my daughter's computer at her house, but not on my computer... this is getting frustrating!Thanks for welcoming me... wish I didn't have to come on here though... I wish the IPod(1st gen) was working well. I just downloaded the new Itunes 8.2.1 on my computer when this started. My son-in-law's IPod (2nd gen)plugs in and is acknowledged just fine, for mine, even when I bit the bullet and decided to erase the whole thing and start anew, is still telling me "USB device not recognized". Very frustrating. So it's not only not connecting to my computer, it's now erased. Before I could at least play games, can't do anything now... (sigh)

USB not recognized when i plug in Zen Mi
after a lengthly install -- and seemingly successful
i plugged in the Zen Micro and i get this error message
USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED
one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize
it.
so i click the message i, i see unknown device go to troubleshoot follow instructions
attempt to reinstall the drivers -- which just hangs
i tried 3 different USB ports, same problem --- tried my ipod ---- gets the same message
but my printer and camera work
i think it is USB 2.0 (but i am not positi've since i am not absolutely sure where to find that)
i am at a total loss
i dont know if the driver is installed since it just hung on the reinstall and eventually said "already there"
i dont know if it is the computer
i dont know if it is the MP3 players
any thoughts of what i should do next
in addition -- i kept the micro in the usb port -- but the charge icon is NOT flashing
thanks

[email][email protected]][email protected][/url]Ok lets see if i can help with a few of these:
USB 2 - to determine if you usb ports are usb 2 you must go to device manager, through system properties, then look under usb and if on one of the chipsets it says enhanced then you have usb 2. like "sis pci to usb enhances host controller".
Drivers - i recomend downloading the latest driver set from the creative support website.Here and getting the new drivers installed and seeing if that hel
ps.
Not recognised - it might be stupid but something like 9 out of 0 computer problems are solved by restarting the computer. may be worth a try, assuming the drivers are ok.
Charging - unless you have the troublesum .0.02 then your computer will need the drivers and to be recognised before it can charge from usb. so im afraid you wont get it untill it installes succesfully.
hope that helped. -
USB Device Not Recognized when Iphone connected to PC
Hello,
Every time I connect my Iphone 4S to my PC I get the error "USB Device Not Recognized". I did not have this problem before. I tried uninstalling Itunes and all its components and reninstalling it, restaring my computer, restarting Iphone and I even reset all the setting on my Iphone. I connected my wife's Iphone 4 using the same cable and PC and connected and started syncing with Itunes right away. If anyone has any pointers on how to fix this problem, any help will be much appreciated.try reseting the phone
RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost). -

USB device not recognized when I connect ipad to computer??
I haven't had a need to connect it in quite some time, so I don't know what's going on, but my adapter is MIA at the moment, so I figured I'd just connect it to the computer to charge it, but when I plug it in, my computer won't recognize it anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this?
Most USB ports n computers do not provide enough power to charge an iPad. You need to use the wall charger and plug that into a known good wall outlet.
The iPad will not show up on your computer like a hard drive. Start iTunes on your computer and plug your iPad into the USB port on the computer. You should see the iPad recognized in iTunes. -
USB Device Not Recognized when direct to computer, works through hub
I have a rather bizarre problem (which I've already written about on Tom's Hardware) regarding my Samsung Galaxy S III phone and my ThinkPad T440p. At first I thought it was just a driver issue, but now it seems to be more hardware-related.
As I explained in my other post, the phone works (in both Windows 7 and Linux) when plugged in through a USB hub, but not when connected directly to the computer. My computer is still under warranty (thank goodness), but I'd like to avoid sending it in if possible, as it's my only computer.
Any suggestions? Thanks!I just tried plugging another Samsung phone in with my USB cable and it has the same problem. If I plug it in with another cable though, it works. I use the same cable with my phone and nothing happens. No charging, nothing. At least with my "bad" cable it charges and the computer complains about it.
At this point I'll get another "Samsung USB cable" (supposed to work, eh?) and see what my luck is. This cable is less than a year old though. I already replaced the original. Maybe Samsung went too cheap again... It wouldn't be the first time. Their push buttons fail left and right. -
I have tried to reinstall several times and get the same message.
But, the part about plugging in my itouch and it not recognizing is very troubling. It also seems to have reset itself. I cannot get it to come on. It just shows the picture of plugging it in to itunes.Check your security software settings as well: iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues
Also try to remove and reinstall all Apple related software:
