Disabled/not recognized device

My 4th gen ipod touch went into disabled mode. When I go to restore it my computer/itunes does not recognize the device. I have tried everything from using different plugs to uninstalling and re-installing itunes. Any advice would be appreciated.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

Ipod disabled & not recognized in windows 7 or itunes

My son disabled his ipod touch 4th gen trying to get into it, he planned to give it to his cousin so I just removed the device from his Apple acnt. However, it's still disabled & now not recognized in Windows 7 or by I-Tunes on any computer or usb we try, but it does charge by usb or wall charger. I am not super familiar with Apple products & need some advice if anyone has any. Thanks!

IPad 1 disabled, not recognized when plugged in to any computer

I have an iPad 1 and I've been trying to get this fixed for about 2 days. It gives this message "iPad is disabled, try again in 23 million minutes" and whenever i plug it in to any computer it says "USB device not recognized". I also tried DFU mode and it still does it. Is there ANY way to restore the iPad ON the device. Or is there any way to get it fixed?

No, check this:
Media you've bought from the iTunes Store or songs you've imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default. They won't be deleted by removing iTunes. Although it's highly unlikely that you'll lose any of your iTunes Library when following the steps below, first make sure that your iTunes library is backed up. See iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive for more information.

Software not recognizing device

Software not recognizing devicezSince installing Windows 7, the Creative software such as Console lancher, Creative Control Panel, etc will not launch and returns an error message telling me that "The current selected device is not supported by the application. I have downloaded and installed the most current software/drivers for this product and operating system and have made sure that the card is properly installed. The device is recognized and present in the Device Manager and appears to be working properly.
I am using a SB Extreme Audio card that was factory installed on aa Asus P6T Deluxe board. All worked well with the original Vista OS but after switching to Win7, the problems began. I have done a complete uninstall of the drivers and software as well as running "Driver sweeper" to root out any remaining elements before re-installing the software and drivers. I also have the .onboard SoundMax audio disabled through the CMOS.
My system specs are as follows:
Core i7 965 Extreme
Asus P6T Deluxe
2GB Corsair 600 Dominator
EVGA 295-GTX
000w Ultra PS
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

I should have posted this some time ago. I was contacted by Eric Albers from Saris in mid-November with a PowerAgent update that fixes the problem.
Here is the email I got from Eric:
Thanks for your continued patience. As of today we have a version of PowerAgent that should resolve the issue for everybody without the need to boot into safe mode to download your data.
Please download and install PowerAgent 7.5.8.47 from the link below. Be sure that you are not in safe mode when installing or using this version PowerAgent, also the installation steps have changed slightly so please be sure to follow them carefully.

HT204406 Updated software. iTunes not recognizing devices.

I recently updated my Mac with Mac OS Lion to get it to version 10.6. Now my iTunes is not recognizing any of my devices nor letting me purchase music in iTunes. What am I missing? How do I get my devices recognized with this new software version?

TOUCHSMART 520 PC NOT RECOGNIZING DEVICES IN THE USB PORT.

When I plug any devices into the USB port, they are not recognized. The computer acts as if they are not there. The devices (MP3, camera, Garmin, etc) turn on, so I know that they are connected. The Printer and wireless mouse that connect through the USB port still work and I have tried changing ports...it doesn't make any difference. Even if I try to search for thr device, the computer does not find it. Any ideas?

Windows 7 not recognizing device - Dell Wireless 5620 EVDO HSPA Mobile Broadband Mini Card

Windows 7 is not recognizing my Dell Wireless 5620 EVDO HSPA Mobile Broadband Mini Card (Qualcomm Gobi 2000). I can't even uninstall the driver, it says that I don't have "sufficient permission" to stop device or something to that effect
(though I'm an administrator). I also can't re-install the same or different driver. I might have installed the wrong driver, though this is supposed to be the correct one according to Dell after typing in my service tag. I went to the FTP
to get one specifically for "Verizon Wireless", but I can't uninstall the prior driver.
How can I fix these issues? Thanks.

Hi,
Any update?
Have you tried safe mode mentioned in the first reply? What is the status of the driver in device manager? For "Verizon Wireless", have you installed any verizon software or related verizon device? Uninstall this kind software, then uninstll driver again
as a test.
Contact this support, maybe they can give some different ideas.

BIOS on Satellite L350 is not recognizing devices

Hi
I have a Satalite L350 which was crashing in windows after about 1 min of loading up. I thought perhaps the hard drive was faulty, so I tried to run a program I have called PC Check 6. I then discovered the cd drive would not read. I then tried a USB CD drive and still it would not boot up from disc. After resetting the BIOS to default settings I discovered that the BIOS was not recognizing any devices other than the hard disk. I took the hard disk out and tested with PC Check via another PC and HD Passed.
I now want to reinstall windows but CD Drive wont boot. I asume the problem is with my BIOS (InsydeH20 version 1.5) Perhaps flashing it would work? But.... no CD and USB devices :S
Any ideas what I can do please?

Hi
I dont think that BIOS is the problem.
The BIOS has recognized the HDD properly. Right?
Well, I think the internal CD/DVD drive is faulty if the BIOS cannot recognize this
Furthermore the BIOS of the L350 does not support booting from USB CD/DVD drive.
This is not possible
If you want to install the OS from recovery disk, then you will need to replace the internal CD/DVD drive because it seems to be faulty
Of course this is my personal option and just a suggestion

Computer suddenly not recognizing device

My computer is not recognizing my iPhone 5 when I plug it in to transfer purchases and update. I have had the phone for awhile and it was working just fine.

Great! It's not the first thing you think of, but my philosophy is "when in doubt, reboot." What probably happened is the AppleMobileDeviceService crashed. This is the easiest way to restart it.

Headphone Jack Not Recognizing Devices

Just stepped up from an old G4 iMac 17" to an slightly newer intel iMac 17" and I'm missing my old
clear plastic "ball" speakers. There is a different type of jack on these than the 1/8" input on my new (older) iMac so I can't use them. The built in speakers just don't do it for me on this current machine.
So to get to my point, I tried plugging a pair of powered speakers into the headphone jack and they were not recognized in the sound control panel. Tried with headphones and same thing. Only "internal speakers" appears in the control panel. I asked someone at an Apple store about this and he told me to look for a red light inside the headphone jack. If I saw red then this most likely would mean the jack is fried. I checked and did NOT see any red light.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance !

Hi moJo
Sounds like a hardware problem with the Output jack, the sound card or that section of the logic board.
If you are stuck with that iMac for whatever reason, then your best bet might be to pick up a Griffin USB Audio Interface. > http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic/

USB suddenly not recognizing devices

Hello,
I have a problem.
My MacBook Pro suddenly stopped recognizing usb devices. This morning everything was working fine, but for some reason a couple of hours later it's not working anymore.
I can connect my phone via usb and it's reloading the battery. I can't get into my files though, while I was able to do that this morning.
My MaKey MaKey also gets power and the lights flash. I can use it to play an online game. It isn't being recognized as an usb device though, and I can't upload new code to it.
I haven't changed anything between the point it was working and the point it is not working anymore.
The only change is that I've tried to connect my MaKey MaKey and upload code to it. But that didn't work, because it said there was nothing connected to my usb port. That's how I found out that it was broken.
I have tried resetting my PRAM and SMC but it both didn't help.

Thanks for your answer.
I already tried the things listed in the link you sent, but unfortunately they didn't work.
However, a few hours after I posted my question things started working again. I can connect my phone again, and the MaKey MaKey shows up in the USB list if you go to About this Mac. Still can't upload anything to it though.
But I guess my problem is solved.

FireWire not recognizing device

I am running 10.5.8 on MacBook Pro. I was successfully using my camcorder and DV cable and everything worked fine. Suddenly my camcorder was no longer recognized (I am not sure if this correlated with a change in firmware or not.) When I go to "Network" the status shows the FireWire is not connected. The camcorder flashes DV-IN, so it seems like the problem is on the computer side. Please Help!!!! Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Do you have any other firewire devices that you can connect to your computer. Try connecting the device with the same cable and see if it is recognised in system profiler, if it does it is the fault is probably on the camera.
Also before you try that, connect your camera, switch it on in VCR mode and then launch i movie.
Good Luck.

Firewire and USB ports not recognizing devices

All of a sudden, some of our MacBooks don't recognize firewire and usb devices. It's weird, but after about a week, one of the MacBooks suddenly started recognizing a video camera, again, but it's troubling because my users need to be able to import movies and pictures from digital devices.
We ran the updates, and it did not help. We have been using these devices with our MacBooks for over a year, and this happened at the worst possible time. Any ideas?
I've tried both self- and AC-powered devices, rebooted, powered off and on, made sure everything is plugged in, etc.

Try Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:

Best.

IPOD touch 4 also not showing up in ITUNES

Just fixed my ipod nano problem on my own and figured I'd share as I have just spent the last 4 hours trying to trouble shoot all of Apple's problems...following everyone's tips...nothing worked until I figured it out on my own.
I'm running windows 7 and have an Ipod Nano (6th Gen). Hard drive crashed on computer. Replaced HD. Everything works fine now. Downloaded iTunes along with all other programs. Nano wouldn't show up or sync on iTunes. Said Device Driver Software was not successfully installed (some USB problems). Tried everything. Finally, I figured it out.
Disconnect Nano. Uninstall iTunes AS WELL AS
Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Software Update. Apple only
tells you to uninstall iTunes and reinstall..restart computer bla bla bla. I said screw it and uninstalled all Apple programs (well, the listed ones above). I hooked up my nano to my computer to make sure the device manager recognized it without anything else plugged in...and it did. I unplugged it. Reinstall iTunes and all three other Apple programs listed above will also reinstall. I opened iTunes and plugged in my nano. It started with the "installing device driver software" and I was sure
it wasn't going to work. Well, it did work. My nano showed up in the upper right bar of iTunes and synced. Unreal... I unplugged my nano and plugged in the wife's. Once again, "installing device driver software." Voila! Her's showed up and synced too. I plugged mine back it to make sure it worked and it did. I'm done. It's working. Hope these steps work for you as well.
