IPhone 3G plugged into PC(Windows 7) 'USB is Not Recognized' and unable to restore; stuck on 'Connect to iTunes'

iPhone 3G plugged into PC(Windows 7) 'USB is Not Recognized' and unable to restore; stuck on 'Connect to iTunes'
I was in the process of putting another firmware for my iPhone(an .ipsw via. itunes) and the house had a power cut. The computer was in the middle of restoring the iPhone but never finished. The apple logo came on and then came onto the 'connect to itunes' screen. My sim card was in but there is no option to slide for emergency. When I Plug it into my computer, a message pops up saying that the 'USB Device Not Recognized', I've tried to plugging my iPhone into my laptop and other Computers but the same message occurs (all windows 7). Other articles say that the error is with the iPhone, I need help!! Can anybody offer some advice on what to do?
oh yeah, bit tight so not willing to spend any money;-)

  • When iphone 5s plugged into my macbook it charges but isnt recognized

    when iphone 5s plugged into my macbook it charges but isnt recognized in itunes or iexplorer.  Both my ipads connect no problem, not the iphone though?

    If your computer is running Windows, go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.  Check to see if "Apple Mobile Device" Service is Started.  If not right click on this service and select Start.  Also make sure Startup type is set to Automatic.  If not, right click on this service, select Properties and set it to Automatic.

  • I have an Iphone 5S and used to sync it to my computer in the past without any problem, but now I can't and appears the message "usb device not recognized", and the cable is good and so the USB port. Do you have any idea what's the problem?

    Try leaving it plugged in and then restart the computer.

  • Itouch - USB device not recognized and Itouch now no longer works

    I'm now on my 3rd Itouch since December all due to the same problem. All seemed to be going well with my 3rd replacement Itouch. Having loaded most of my cd collection into ITunes the night before I was going on holiday I synced my Itouch. Some sort of automatic download took place I think from Microsoft and suggested my drivers were being updated. Next thing I got message to restore my Itouch to factory settings. I did this and all the problems I had with my previou Itouch's started again.
    When I now plug my Itouch into my laptop it says "USB device not recognized" and the Itouch will not switch on. I've done everything including reinstalling Itunes, holding down the power and home key but to no avail. Looks like I'm going to have to send my Itouch back again. I have a suspicion that a Microsoft download is corrupting the drivers. If anyone can help I would be very grateful. I really like my Itouch but the fact it keeps failing leads me to wonder if I should opt for something else.

  • "USB Device Not Recognized", and I tried the 5 R's and all that....

    OK, I just got a new shuffle, and my computeris also new. I am using a Dell with Windows Media XP. I also just installed iTunes 7.5.
    Whenever I place the shuffle on the dock the charging light comes on for a few moments, then I get the pop-up message:
    "USB device not recognized. One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. No drivers are installed for this device."
    Then the charging light turns off.
    iTunes does not show any "source" or recognition of the shuffle being attached.
    My sons recieved Scandisk mp3 players and they are both working on my new computer with no issues.
    I did try to remove iTunes from my computer, re-install, and then dock the shuffle again, and got the same results.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    I have experienced the same problems and frustration as many of you with Windows not recogizing the shuffle. Looking to forums, changing drivers, using another computer for answers.
    The shuffle I purchased for my wife did not work with our primary laptop (Windows XP 1.1 usb ports) but it worked successfully with another laptop (same OS and usb version).
    Grasping at straws, I remembered I had a USB extension cable and connected the shuffle usb connection in the extension cable and the extension cable into the usb port of my PC. It worked. It seemed to make a better and more snug connection with my laptop usb port than the usb connection with the shuffle.
    ITunes also recognizes the shuffle. I am curious if this resolves the issues many of you are having.

  • USB device not recognized, and more!

    This morning when I tried to sync m y Z22, I got "USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED".  Connected the cable to every one of my USB ports, tried to sync each time but got the same message. 
    I shut down the PC, unplugged it, waited a few minutes, reconnected it, rebooted, and tried to sync again.  Still got "USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED".
    Checked Palm Support, was advised to upgrade to the current version of the software (I was using V4-something).  Downloaded and installed the upgrade.  I got an error at the end of the installation that (what I assume was my old software) had been moved to Palm OS Incompatible Apps. 
    I tried to sync again, same problem.  Opened the (new) software & half my data is gone.
     So, I have a few problems:
    1 - How do I fix this &^#$!!! USB error? and,
    2 - How do I roll-back the software to my previous version to access all my data?  In Add/Remove Programs, with Updates checked, the new software is the only one there.  (Because I couldn't sync, at least the data on my Z22 is still intact.)
    Someone PLEASE help, my whole LIFE is in this thing!!!
    Thanks in advance,

  • My Ipod plug into stereo, some how the stereo not work and burn the battery, its make my ipod can't turn on at all, if I need to repair it how much its cost, do you think?

    Hi, I put my Ipod into the stereo, some how the power of the stereo burned out & make my ipod not work anymore.  If I plug my ipod into computer its not on and the battery feel very hot, so if I send it out to fix, how much do you think its cost?  And how do I check online to see what generation I was bought?  I bought it online with Apple.  Thanks.
    Tran Thai.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Hello, lanboyo, JC, and Utah Mike!
    First--You may have done this, but have you tried the Five R's? Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall, Restore.
    If you have sucessfully done them with hardly any help, then let's keep going:
    Second--You may have read this Apple aritcle before, but I'll link you to it anyway.

  • Usb device not recognized...cannot restore or access drive on two computers

    I cannot restore my ipod on two different computers and I am receiving the "cannot recognize" error message on both. Do I have a hardware damage issue? Replacing or updating the usbstor does nothing to alleviate the problem and when I attempt to restore i am told to plug in an ipod to restore...it doesn't recognize..if I plug into the 2nd computer's firewire, there are issues too..the ipod appears as an external and I can copy paste etc. but itunes won't recognize it...

    Ah! Thank god, I was 10 minutes away from reformatting my computer because of this stupid problem! But hey, I got a question, this iPod nano is my second because my old one broke, but I had the warranty on my first one so I got a new one for... well, not as much as it would be without it. Is the replacement free? Aside from shipping+handling and if not, do you need the warranty to reduce the price?

    Dear Sirs,when i use the computer updating my iphone to ios 7.1,suddenly black out.The computer has no power and my iphone does not work and keep display the screen saying the iphone need to connect to itunes. So when i connect my iphone to iTunes, the computer says"itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. you must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes"
    So my question is if I click OK(restore the iphone),will i lose all my data and whatsapp??
    Thank you for your help and time.

    If you didn't back up the phone to iCloud or iTunes (on your computer) BEFORE attempting the update, the data will be lost.
