Ipod 4G Will not Dock via USB

Hi,
My IPod 4G is not being recognised by XP,
Windows always throws up the message
'USB Device Not Recognised' when I dock via
the USB cable.
Windows only seems to recognise the device
when using a firewire cable.

When was the manual written? What constituted "all iPods" one year would not necessarily apply to iPods made later.
Throw away my iPod and get a new one?
I don't believe I suggested anything like that.
You might get better answers if you included the exact make and model of the home theatre system. You should also search the forums using the "Search Discussions" box to see if there are any other threads about your particular brand of home theatre. Also, did you ever check the support site or contact customer support for the home theatre and car stereo?
Best of luck.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A 910A, Vista 32-bit, will not connect via usb to my PC!!!

    I used to have this all in one connected to my pc, until I was experiencing a few printing issues, so I decided to uninstall it!  When I tried to reinstall it, the pc will not connect it.  I have tried different ports and have replaced the cable, also downloaded the latest software and drivers all to  no avail.  I can connect wirelessly to my laptop, but unfortunately this isn't a solution for my desktop as it's not wireless, therefore it has to be connected via usb.  At my wits end, please help me!!!!!
    This question was solved.

    Hello,
    Can you try inserting a flash drive into one of the USB ports in the printer, to make sure it reads it?
    The port on the printer might be what's giving you the issue. Also, can you try connecting the printer USB to a different PC?
    Let me know the outcome.

  • Palm Centro will not charge via USB or wall charger

    My Palm Centro has been having issues with the charger port for a while, now.   I found a few posts on this board instructing me on how to trickle charge through the USB adapter, but when I try the methods these people are using, my phone still will not charge.  I don't have insurance on my device currently (I had to have the ruddy thing replaced so many times they cancelled it), so I have to figure something out soon.  It appears as if the device is not being recognized by computer, even when I try to HotSync.  The HotSync never goes through.  Any suggestions?

    Yes, every original iPhone is out of warranty at this point. It is going on 4 years now.
    Has the iPhone been exposed to moisture? You can check to see if the sensor at the end of the headphone jack is red or not. Moisture could expand the issue and lead to hardware failures. Could also be a faulty or loose communication cable as the home button and dock connector use the same cable inside the iPhone to connect to the logic board.
    Assuming it is a hardware issue you could try third party repair centers that are local or see if apple has an out of warranty replacement program still operating for the original iPhone. Since it is rather old I don't think there is much apple can do. Try a third party repair center or look for a new to you used iPhone.

  • New Officejet Pro 6830 will not print via USB connection. It scans great to PC. It copies.

    New HP Officejet Pro 6830 for user to have local USB printer/scanner at desk.  User runs win 7 64 bit on a network.  Raninstall through setup.exe.  Followed steps, connected printer via USB when it said to and it detected it and finished install.You can use HP Scan software and it scans to the PC perfectly.  It will not print from any application or even a testpage from the Printer Properties page.  If you go to the maintenance application it will print status and test page.  If you run HP Scan and Print doctor it does it's thing, gives all Green Check marks and lets you print a test page fine, but it stillwill not print even a test page from the printer properties page (start/Devices and  Pritners/right click on Officejet Pro 6830, select Printer Properties for Officejet Pro 6830 (not the Fax 6830), and click print test page.   It does not seethe printer.  It is a networked PC and has network defined HP network printers as well but user wanted a printer/scanner at his desk.   I actually took the unit and connected to my laptop which is same win 7 64 bit platform and it does the same thing.   I disable the virus protection to do the install so that is not an issue.  It clearly sees and installs the printer, andlike I said the HP Scan works fine so it is connected via the USB to the PC, but it will not print.   I have tried to install from the CD, and removed device and tried to install from the new downloaded drivers as well and it just does not want to print.I have conected to different USB ports, and like I said actually tried it on a different PC and had same results. Guidance certainly would be appreciated.

    Hi , I see by your post that you can scan, but are unable to print over the USB connection. I would be happy to help you.
    I have provided a document for setting Security permissions for printing to see if that will help. If the issue persists, reinstall the printer on the Administrator Account to see if you have the same results.Unlock Hidden Administrator Account and install the printer on this account:  Go to your Start menu and under the 'search programs and files' box type CMD. CMD will populate as a search option above, just right click on it and 'run as administrator'. Once CMD (Command Prompt) opens, type net user administrator /active:yes and hit enter. Next, close CMD and restart your computer. When your computer comes on log into the new account that should show. It will be called Administrator and will not have a password on it. If your computer automatically logs into your account after restart than go to your start menu click the arrow beside 'shutdown' and choose 'switch user'. Now log into the Administrator account we just unlocked.Under the Administrator account, install the printer software. Test the printer. To turn off the Admin account start back at step 1 and type in net user administrator /active:no.Please let me know the outcome. If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. Thank You.

  • My iPad 1 will not communicate via USB to my Mac or PC

    When I connect to my Mac, nothing appears in finder and nothing appears in iTunes
    When I connect to my PC(win 7), it gives a little tone (same as all peripherals connected via USB), but it is not recognized and nothing appears in the explorer.
    Here's what I've already tried:
    - rebooting iPad
    - restarting Mac
    - restarting PC
    - "troubleshooting" the unknown device in the control panel of PC
    - factory restoring iPad (and then restored it from iCloud backup)
    - tested the USB cable
    Any other suggestions?  Other than this the iPad is working fine.

  • IPod touch will not work with USB 2.0 PCI Card?

    I have a dual processor PowerMac G4 that has USB 2.0 via a PCI card. When I plug in the iPod nothing at all happens. I haven't read anything about PCI cards not being compatible with the touch. Is anyone else having this problem?

    Just thought I'd add my 2 cents...I've got the same problem...I've had a Keyspan USB 2.0 5 port card in my Dual MDD G4 for years and it's worked fine. Well, until a few days ago when I tried updating some stuff on our iPods. It would initially start working then lose connection. Now nothing at all with 5 iPods. It won't even show up on the desktop under Disk Mode. I did the same and it works fine under the old stock USB 1.0 but slooooooowwww. Is this yet another problem with Leopard? I've searched the Keyspan site and they don't have any updated drivers. Guess I'll look for a Belkin as well...ugh!!! Leopard is horrible! First no printer drivers, then no iSub support, now this!

  • Iphone will not charge via usb-to-computer nor via brick; I've tested with two different cables. Just before this problem arose, I got messages similar to "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone."

    Most of my concern is in the subject line. I probably should've saved some content to include here. Allow me to elaborate:
    While traveling with the tiny brick, I got a message on my 3GS phone that "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone”; however, the charger was working fine with another phone and with an iPad.
    I tested alternatives by removing and re-inserting the cable (obviously, as I tested other devices), changing wall receptacles, shutting the phone off (all the way), all to no avail.
    When I got home, I plugged a different cable--one that was connected to my iMac rather than the brick--into the my 3GS; it still didn't charge.
    So, I'm hypothesizing that perhaps some debris (from a pocket?) got into the charging receptacle of the 3GS and is disrupting the connection. Perhaps there are other hypotheses.
    I am reluctant to do a reset, as (a) the problem doesn't appear to be a software issue (the phone and software are all working, though the charge is declining) and (b) I don't want to lose the contents before I can sync it (now that I'm home, again).
    I'd welcome suggestions. Meanwhile, I suppose I shall e-mail photos and notes from the phone to myself before I lose the remaining charge.

    Try to clean the 30-pin receiver slot either by blowing air into it or using a microfiber cloth. If the problem persists, based on what you've already said, I'd say the problem is most likely hardware, and would need to be replaced or repaired. I hope your iPhone is still under the 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty, or if applicaable extended warranty. You can check by calling AppleCare National iPhone Technical Support at 1 (800) 694-7466.

  • My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked.  It only plays through it's internal speaker.  All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc).  How do I fix this?

  • My iPod shuffle will not turn on, nor is it recognized by the computer to pull up iTunes. I have order new USB cords and nothing. Please help!

    My iPod shuffle will not turn on, nor is it recognized by the computer to pull up iTunes. I have order new USB cords and nothing. Please help! Not sure of the generation of iPod shuffle, I think 3rd.

    first: why did you download the iOS Beta 8? If you are a developer, go to the Apple Developers website and check what they can do for your case.
    second: setup an appointment to a Genius Bar for service.

  • 3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics.  Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one.  From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...

    Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
    There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.

  • My Ipod 4th Gen will not turn on. When I hook it up to the computer I get the ITunes symbol and the usb device on the screen of the Ipod. When I go to restore the Ipod it will not restore. I am getting unknown error code 6.

    Likely this:
    Errors related to third-party security software
    Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 40, 1000, 9006
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    Restore using a different computer.

  • When Using iOs 7.1.2 OSX 10.9.4 notes are not syncing via USB. When will this be fixed. Not interested in iCloud or IMAP solution.

    When Using iOs 7.1.2 with mac OSX 10.9.4 mavericks notes are not syncing via USB.
    When will this be fixed ? Not interested in iCloud or IMAP solution. it worked before,  I can't really
    understand why apple would change one of my favorite features. I use the notes feature to
    capture  quick ideas on the road and having it synched on my computer and my phone was very useful.
    Previous blog posts elsewhere indicated this would be fixed in the latest rev of iOS, OSX and iTunes.
    But alas after the recent update it's not. Really Annoying.

    Then you won't be syncing your notes anymore.
    Contacts and Calendars are the only things they restored.

    If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. 
    The iPod should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  Select it there.  To the right, its Summary screen is shown.  Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs ot the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  This is the switch to enable automatic syncing.  If your iTunes music library fits on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Then select what you want on the iPod from the lists below. 
    Click Apply to intiate automatic syncing between that iTunes library and your iPod (based on how the iPod's Music screen is set up in iTunes).
