Hardware isn't recognized

Trying to load a new nano. Updated with iTunes 7 but when I connect the nano to the computer I get a message that the USB device has not passed Windows Logo testing to be compatible with XP. I select continue anyway and then I receive a message
an error occured during installation and the device cannot be installed. It also says the system can't find the file specified. I've done the 5R's and I've tried both ports on the computer and it doesn't work. Any suggestions? Or is this a problem with the nano itself?

You may want to verify that you have all of your Windows updates. You need to
have Service Pack 2 installed to use iTunes.
You can check by right clicking on My Computer and clicking on properties. The general screen will show which service pack you have. You can download Service Pack 2 on the microsoft.com website.

Lumia 1020 isn't recognized by Windows 8.1

I just installed Windows 8.1 and when I plug in my Lumia 1020, it isn't recognized. In Device Manager it shows up under "Other Devices" as "Nokia Lumia 909 (RM-877)". I understand that the 909 and the 1020 are the same so no mystery there. When I right click and tell it to update the drivers, it says that there are no drivers available.
I read in another thread where someone was having a similar problem and powering off the phone and then reconnecting it via the USB cable seemed to cause it to be recognized. I am not having any success doing that. I have gone through the steps listed by Microsoft also without any luck.
I also have a laptop running Windows 7 and my phone is recognized by that computer without any trouble at all. So, I don't *think* it is a hardware problem.
I went so far as to re-install my OS. I patched it, updated the BIOS and didn't connect or install anything else (besides the patches) before connecting my 1020. Once I hooked up my 1020, still nothing. Can't update drivers from the internet or from the downloaded drivers.
What is going on?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Look at other devices that are not loaded correctly. Not the USB
If your operating system did not come with Windows Media Player, install the Media Feature Pack for your version of the operating system.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/download-windows-media-player
Use the USB cable that came with the phone.
Connect the phone to the PC. Turn it all the way off, hold power button and slide the screen down. The phone will turn back on and it will be detected, drivers should load.
You should see it in windows explorer. It should install in 'portable devices' in the device manager.

Creative Zen Micro 4GB isn't recognized on my PC

Hello,
I bought a Creative Zen Micro 4GB?couple of years ago (3-4 years ago) and lost it year ago. I found it now and wanted to start using it but I have a problem. I bought a new laptop which is Vista and my pc doesn't recognize the player when I plug it in. It recognizes it and the bubble comes up at the tray, but it doesnt recognize it and says it can't find the driver and that I need to install the driver. However, since my pc can't recognize it, I can't install a driver or do anything with it since it isn't recognized by my pc. I read lots of posts and solutions to them, but none of them help my problem. In the device manager, it is apperead with a yellow explanation mark but I can't reinstall the driver. I also tried the cleanup and reboot but that also didn't work. Can anyone help me? (I also tried this on my old pc which has XP but it had the same problem.) My Pc is Windows Vist 32-Bit Operating System and Service Pack . By the way, when i plug in my zen micro, the window comes saying 'found new hardware' and I am suposed to locate a place for the dri've and it says i should insert the disc that came with it. However, when i insert it nothing happens and in the end it says it failed. I really need urgent help. Thank you in advance already.

Ipod isn't recognized by itunes and computer but it still charges

i've tried a hard reset but that didn't do anything.
when i plug it into my computer i get a message saying that the USB device isn't recognized.
so, when i look at it in device manager the ipod shows up as a unknown device
and the device status says "there are no drivers installed for this device".
anybody know what to do?

Your iPod's battery may not be charged. Plug your iPod in, wait for a moment, press a button to turn it on, and check the screen. Here are some easy steps to get the most out of your battery. Note: On recent iPod models, when the battery is completely empty, your computer may not recognize your iPod for up to 30 minutes even though it's connected and charging.

I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

"If you've forgotten the Apple ID password how did you log in to make the last post?"
Exactly! The password I used to log on here and write my post I figured was the same Apple ID password I would use to reset my computer login password. But my computer isn't recognizing it as the correct password so it wont let me update my login password. I have 2 user accounts on my computer.
As far as the link you provided, I already looked to that for help earlier. It states:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Users & Groups, click the lock to unlock it, then provide an administrator name and password. Select a user, then click Reset Password.
I did these steps, but I don't remember my admin password. The question is: How do I reset my admin password so I can reset my log in password.
Is my admin password the same password I use to log onto this website to post questions? If so, like I said previously, I already reset that password and my computer isnt recognizing it.

I had to get my hard drive replaced from Apple, I lost all of my music obviously. My question is, how can I get all my music off of my iPhone onto iTunes? Since it's a new hard drive, the iPhone isn't recognizing this as it's home computer.

You will need to use third-party software to transfer music from your phone to the iTunes Library. I recommend Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac | Macroplant.com.

My 5th generation iPOD isn't recognized by iTunes?

When I plug my iPod into my computer, iTunes opens, but my iPod isn't recognized. Anyone else have this problem or any suggestions?

By all of those suggestions, do you mean the ones I mentioned in the paragraph about or the ones in the support article I linked? Does this 5G iPod via still power on? DId you try connecting it to another PC or Mac to see if it is recognized there? Did you check the dock connector for any signs of debris or damage to the pins that could be preventing a connection to your PC?
Any idea how long the average iPod should last? Ours if from 2006.
Most people never get the iPod to last 6 years, so consider yourself lucky. That's quite a time span!

HT1353 2nd gen iPod isn't recognized by iTunes nor Windows - What to do?

I have an iPod A 1019 (2nd gen?). When I connect it to the firewire connector on my PC, the unit screen shows a checkmark and "OK to disconnect." I tried to reset with Menu + Select (=nothing happened) but Menu + Play works. Still, PC + iTunes won't recognize iPod. Help? I suspect that the software on the iPod itself is too old but since the device cannot be discovered, I can't update it. I tried iPod transfer software, but nothing recognizes my oldie. Sigh.

Hi, Griff W.!
Thanks for taking the time to offer me the troubleshooting steps. I tried them all, but unfortunately to no avail. I can listen to the iPod, but once I connect it to my PC with the firewire cable, it still isn't recognized in iTunes or in Windows. I checked the Universal Serial Bus controllers. The iPod is nowhere to be seen. I checked the version of the software on the iPod and it's 1.5. Maybe that's the problem: the software is too old?
BTW, the firewire cable is charging the iPod.
Maybe if I could find someone with an old PC that has a firewire port? But even if I were to make the iPod visible, would I be able to copy the songs onto my new iPod? From what I've been reading probably not. It's really exasperating. They music is legit, copied from my CDs or purchased.
I am looking at my new superslim iPod Touch 5th generation and right next to it the clickwheel iPod 2nd generation that's more than a cigarette pack sized. Progress. I guess.
Thanks for helping out. If you have any more ideas, please let me know.
Best regards,
D.

My ipod isn't recognized by any computer & itunes, and desplays a sad face.

i have had my ipod mini for eleven months and this is the first problem i have had with it.
i went on a vacation to flordia, and while i was there my ipod crashed. i had dropped it once a few days before the crash, but it continued to play my music after i dropped it.
when i go to turn it on the apple logo appears, then the depressed ipod.
my ipod isn't recognized by any computer or tunes. when i plug it into my computer, the 'do not disconnect' screen doesn't even appear. all that happens is the apple logo screen, then the depressed ipod screen, then a recharging screen appears that is stuck on the lowest point possible.
i have already tried the "five R's" and everything else in the support pages, and so far they have helped me none. all they do is bring you around in huge circles, and you end up on the page you started on.
i run a windows xp, and have everything fully upgraded.
i know, i know, many of you are having similar problems, but could you please only post if you have an answer, thanks.

Windows XP

I know!!! It worked just fine one day, computer recognized it and i could add or remove songs at me leisure, but now I can't even charge it on a computer becasue it doesn't exsist to it. I also tried the five steps, but you can't restore the settings on it if the computer can't find it. Finally I had my sister bending the charge piece in the ipod just for it to show up, I restored it and it didn't make a bit of difference! I lost all 800 songs on it but I still can't charge it or add songs. If you find anything out, let me know!!!

5th gen Video 30G isn't recognized by windows XP help!

I have a 30G video with the stock USB that has never had an issue until recently when i got the new iT7. The problem is that the iPod isn't recognized by my computer at all. when i connect it it brights up for two seconds as if i woke it up and then the light shuts off. it's still on but its not recognized. Neither iT or my computer. does anyone have anything to say about this or is having the same problems?
Windows XP

New IPOD. Downloaded SW from web. iT7. Neither computer nor iT will consistently recognize ipod. backlight flashes on and off intermitently, and apparently randomly, when connected. Has "do not disconnect" message most of the time. Reset lasts 1-2 seconds. Need to shut computer down and then go thru ipod reset dance to disconnect and do 5 "R"s again (and again). Could it be a factory bad cable??
Surely not! And..where the heck would I get another to test with...oh, buy one, no doubt? I see a lot of other folks with the same problem. Apple, are you listening?
Jobs, get it done! Anyway, been thru a lot of complaints here and as it says above, problem is NOT resolved.
