HT1386 windows is not recognizing my device

hi there,
I am trying to plug in my ipod touch using the usb to the computer, and it chargers at first, then stops.    Can someone help with this program or should i just take the product back?
Thank you

First off, you need to have iTunes installed.  You can get iTunes here:  http://www.apple.com/itunes/
Second, when you connect your device to your computer, Windows will make the "new hardware detected" (aka "happy beeps") sound.
Third, if you take a picture or two with your iPod and then connect the iPod to your computer, not only will Windows make the "happy beeps," for new hardware, an Auto Run dialog box will appear on your desktop and Windows will put a new drive letter in Explorer.

    Hey corky60,
    I'd go ahead and give the following troubleshooting steps a shot:
    1. Try the iPod troubleshooting assistant:
    2. Restart the iPod Service
    3. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
    4. Empty your Temp directory and restart
    5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
    6. Change your iPod's drive letter
    7. Remove and reinstall iTunes
    8. Disable conflicting System Services and Startup Items
    9. Update, Reconfigure, Disable, or Remove Security Software
    10. Deleting damaged or incorrect registry keys
    You can read more about each step in detail in this article:

    I'd start at the top and work through the steps until iTunes recognizes your iPod nano.

    It could be that the drive has a Hardware issue, but try the following.
    From the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'.  In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
    sfc /scannow                 ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
    Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.

  • HT1923 i have installed the updated itunes but it is not recognizing my devices can anyone help

    i have installed updated version of itunes but it is not recognizing my devices can anyone help

    Many thanks.
    That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • HP 5470c Scanjet on Windows 7 not recognized / will not initialize

    Scanner first set up on Windows Xp system. New HP p6710f desktop purchased last year with Windows 7 Home Premium operating system which recognized the scanner on USB and worked flawlessly . Recently rearranged the office which required disconnecting the peripherals, and now the scanner is not recognized .
    The product support area on this website says the scanner is not supported on WIn 7 .  How then did it work previously ?
    And why would HP discontinue support for a product that still has a long useable life ? Is this just a ruse to encourage purchase of new products ? Should the baby be thrown out with the wash water ?
    I am not a computer guru , but suspect a 'driver' is needed to get operational again ?
    Thanks in advance for any help offered .

  • Anyone having trouble with this phone and their in car bluetooth?  Calls dropping not recognizing the device.  Had the car bluetooth reset at dealer. They said it is a common problem with the iPhone?

    Bluetooth in car is not recognizing my device and when it does it will only stay connected about 5 minutes.   Blue tooth has been reset at the dealer. They said it is very common with the iPhone? The car is a 2014 Toyota Highlander.  This is very very frustrating as I have a 45 minute commute to work and do not want to have to hold my phone.... Thank you for any help.

    Wow you would think the newer car is just an updated version of what your husbands has.
    I wonder if your husbands car was updated to the same connect system if his would not connect?
    Does your husbands phone work because he does not have the new iOS from Apple?
    Can he hook to your connect system in the car?

  • USB is not recognizing the device and giving error 10

    My PC USB is not recognizing the device (iphone) and giving error 10.. The USb is malfunctioning but ipod is getting connected easliy

    Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes.
