Firewire working USB not working, not showing up on computer

Hi there, hope someone can help. I am having a problem with my 3G iPod with dock. Out of the blue my iPod will not connect to my computer using USB. It does however connect to my laptop through firewire, however this is no good as it is not power firewire port and my music is on my desktop.
I have gone through all the 5 r's, and it does not solve the problem. I have been able to connect my iPod to my laptop and restored it hoping this would fix it, however it has now wiped all my music from it and it still won't connect to my desktop through USB.
Has this happened to anyone else is there an easy solution without getting it serviced. Or as I am currently thinking, will the easist option be to buy a firewire card for my desktop?
Please help

(sorry for leaping in here)
hello again Mr Sean!
i think we managed to work out what actually happened to you with your itunes-opening problem many moons ago.
the bulk of folks with your symptoms (itunes opened in one account but not another) turned out to have bad itunes preference files. there's a different set in each XP user account, which is how it could launch in one account but not another.
so what probably fixed it for you would have been your search and destroy of all files with "itunes" in the title. that would have deleted the skunky pref files in the dodgy account. the next time you launched itunes in that account, fresh (non-skunky) itunes pref files would have been created ... and itunes would launch in that account from then on.
just in case you were still curious about what happened back then ...

  • Satellite Pro L300 - CD/DVD does not show on my computer

    Hello ! This is probably a silly / easy question but I am very new in this and..... my CD/DVD unit does not work.
    It does not show on "my computer" and when I insert a disk, nothing happens (except for a buzzing noise but then nothing)....
    Can someone kindly help me?
    As the helpline does not answer on Saturdays...
    Many thanks !

    Hi
    Try this;
    Access the device manager and remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manager list.
    Then access the registry and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    Reboot the notebook and check it again.

  • Ipod touch not showing up in 'computer'

    My ipod 4g is not showing up in 'computer' on Windows 7. It shows up in iTunes, but not in computer. I tried updating itunes and ipod, still no luck. I need it for my pictures, and iCloud is too complicated to use easily.
    Please help!!

    We have 16 pupil iPads at our school supervised by a Mac Air and we can't see the photos on any of them on the Mac, a Windows 7 or an XP machine. The unsupervised machines used by the teachers are fine. Is this a common problem? If so, is there any way around it not involving PhotoStream?

  • My website shows an extra box image on PC's that is not showing on my computer in iWeb or online.

    My website shows an extra box image on PC's that is not showing on my computer in iWeb or online. I know for sure that the box is not there in iWeb. You will see it on the homepage of www.gageformen.com of you're on a PC. Any clue how I can get rid of it? Thanks!

    Post a screenshot of the page on the PC so we can see what you're referring to?  What type of box image is it?
    By the way, I noticed that the only text in your entire site that is not an image file is that on the page RESPONSIBLE STYLE.  That's the only text in your site that a search engine can use in it's ranking and listing.  That could be limiting as to what the search engines have to use from your site.

  • Dvd/cd rom not showing up on computer.

    dvd/cd rom not showing up on computer.  Where do I find the driver for the dvd/cd?
    Have a pavilion dv6915nr with windows vista. Somehow the dvd/cd player is not showing up and will not play anything.
    Any suggestions on what I can do.

    Is this because i am an idiot and need a DVD drive?
    Have you got a DVD drive?
    Have you been able to playback DVDs before? If not, then you may very well need a DVD drive... not just a CD drive.
    You'll be able to tell what you have by looking in 'My Computer' when there are no discs in the drives. The drives should show up as things like: 'CD-ROM Drive(D:)' or 'CD/DVD Drive(D:)'. If none of the drives have DVD in the title, you may just need a DVD drive.
    If you have any luck getting them to show up, take a look at this thread for help on ripping DVDs to iPod.

  • External HDs not showing up on computer via firewire and usb

    All external hds do not show up on the computer via firewire or usb. I must have perfomed some updates with my hardware plugged in. Does anybody know how to get this fixed?

    Thought you could use this info about getting FireWire to work!
    First, you should always Repair Permissions in Disk Utility before and after any update; I would do that now. If you installed your update with FireWire plugged in, your Mac may not recognize it anymore.
    Try resetting your FireWire ports by disconnecting all FW devices, shut down your Mac and unplug it from AC power (wall socket) for 30 minutes. plug it back in and try FW.
    If that did'nt work, download the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try. Yours is the 10.3.9 Combo update. Others reading, download the Combo that applies to your system.
    If that still did'nt get it Zap the PRAM. While restarting Mac hold down the following key combo Command-Option-P-R. Keep holding those keys down till you hear the second start-up chime, then release.
    For those of you with Macs that are not PowerBooks or iBooks, a bad internal battery can cause FireWire to not be recognized, so make sure it's good!
    Good Luck!
    Cheers!

  • Firewire drives do not show up on network

    I have a G5 with 2 external drives, 1 firewire, 1 USB
    I have a G4 with 2 external drives, both firewire.
    When these computers are networked,
    The G5 sees the internal drives from the G4.
    The G4 sees the internal drives from the G5, as well as the connected USB drive.
    But neither computer sees the external firewire drives of the other computer.
    I used to see these drives and made aliases for them, but they do not show up now.
    I am using the admin accounts from each computer.
    G5 running 10.4.5
    G4 running 10.3.9
    What is the cause of this problem? How can I mount the firewire drives on the networked computers?

    I need to modify my question. I also have a G3 running 10.2.8
    Yesterday I noticed that the Network icon in the G5 sidebar had an eject symbol next to it. That seems strange, upon reflection, as if something was not right.
    I shut off all the machines for the evening.
    Today, I restarted all the machines. Chose Finder->Go->Connect to Server->Browse
    From each machine, I was able to see the external drives on the other machines, as well as the internal drives, over the network. I did not use nor install sharepoints. It just works (with an admin account).
    However, on the G5, there is an external firewire Firelite drive. It is formatted as Fat 32.
    It does not show up in the Browse window when I connect to the G5 from any computer. If I move it to the G4, it also does not show up when I connect to the G4 from any computer. So it does not seem to be related to the OS version.
    In other words, it seems that since the Firelite is Dos formatted, I cannot see it on the network, even though it is a firewire drive.
    So how can I fix this problem?

  • Firewire and USB not usable

    my friends machine is no longer using devices connected to the firewire and USB ports. Here is the description of troubleshooting steps so far. Any other suggestions?
    --- snip ---
    suddenly my G5 tower stopped recognizing any firewire device... no harddisk no soundcard.... also the same harddisk is not recognized via USB....
    BUT.... the USB ports recognize USB sticks, mac keyboard, mouse.. no problemo.
    also.. at the same moment the built in soundcard (mac av) stopped working, AND the internal CD drive !!!
    i tried : flashing the PRAM ... on boot up hold down command, option, P, and R until the machine reboots it's self then let off the keys...
    and; resetting the PMU:
    1. If the computer is on, turn it off.
    2. Disconnect ALL cables from the computer, including peripherals and power.
    3. If possible, move the computer to a place where you are not standing on carpet.
    4. Open the case and ground yourself by touching part of the metal frame inside the computer.
    5. Find the Cuda or PMU button
    6. Press the Cuda or PMU button ONCE. Do not press the button more than once before starting the computer up again.
    7. Wait 10 seconds, then reconnect the cables you removed in step 2 and turn the computer on.
    and i tried: resetting NV-RAM
    Re-start holding the O,F, option, and command keys until a white screen is reached, this will be the open firmware
    screen. You will be prompted to release keys at this point.
    Type in the command line, reset-nvram. Press enter, next command line type in, reset-all and the computer will re-boot.
    so.... i have no more solutions at this point !!!

    That date code was probably the build date code, rather than the expiration. This would be true for either the Tadiran or Saft batteries. The lithium batteries have a shelf life of up to 10 years.

  • My Firewire Clone is not showing up in the Startup Disk selection window

    Going to the Startup Disk section Under System Preferences to locate my mounted Firewire/cloned HD - But it's not showing up there for start up selection.
    The external firewire clone, running OS X 10.4.11 shows up in the finder right away. Also I have mounted and used it as the start up disk on several other computers just fine. The current computer I'm having issues mounting to is a: 2 ghz Intel MacBook with 1 gb ram running 10.4.11
    The previous computers that I have had success mounting to were a G4 ibook and a G5 imac(OSX 10.4.11). - Don't know if the Intel part is why I can't mount?
    Any ideas or fixes - Thanks!

  • Ipod shuffle not showing in my computer

    I have the same problem everyone else and none of the antidotes or fixes seem to work for me. My ipod shows up in the device manager as an ipod but shows as other device. Also the ipod doesnt show in my computer at all. I keep getting a cant "find driver" but yet I have the drivers in system32 I meet all the requirments and my USB ports work fine. I know these are the right drivers because I downloaded my ipod on my parents pc{which is the same as mine} and everything worked fine. Somehow the USB ports are not directed to get the driver or the path has changed. Should reinstall my operating system(windows xp home)??? Please help

    My computer supports two Shuffles (but not at the same time). When they're plugged-in they don't show up in "My Computer" but in the Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager they're recognized simply as "Apple iPod USB Device" with no driver installed. They, nonetheless, work just fine and are recognized by iTunes in its Source List. I wouldn't worry too much if your computer has a problem recognizing your Shuffle -- the important thing is to get it working with iTunes.

  • IPod not showing up on computer or in iTunes

    My iPod mini (It's the older version of iPod mini in the darker colors) recently stopped showing up on my iMac and iTunes. It charges, but since it doesn't show up, I can't add music or anything.
    I already looked at the support page Apple has for this problem and I tried everything and nothing helped me. The only thing I didn't try was resetting my iPod, which I don't think will work because not only does my iPod not show up, but neither does my sister's and my mom's.
    My sister has the same model of iPod mini as mine, and my mom has the slightly newer mini (with the brighter colors).
    Does anyone have any suggestions how I can fix this problem? I gave up on it for awhile, but now I really need it resolved. Thank you in advance.
    Power iMac G3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

    It sounds like the port or cable is having a problem. First try a different cable.
    If the cable doesn't fix things then try resetting the PMU (Power Management Unit) then see if the iPod will show up.

  • Card Reader not showing up in Computer (PC - Vista) but does in LR 3

    I've been using Lightroom 3 for about a week and noticed last night that my card reader is no longer showing up in Computer (listing of internal & external drives) but I can find it in the Computer Management screen. I can access it through the Computer Management screen and it can be accessed through Lighroom. Has some default setting been changed and my card reader hijacked by Lightroom. Any help or ideas would by appreciated. It works fine one another computer (desktop with Lightroom 3 installed) but not on my laptop.
    I'm running it on a PC with Vista OS

    Try using System Restore to restore a previous restore point from before this became an issue.
