IPod acknowledged by PC but only charges while checking for updates

This may very well be a newbie question, but I have not been able to find any help online. I plug in my ipod to charge, and everything acts normal - if itunes is open, it checks for new songs and updates it, etc, while charging. The only problem is that it does not continue to charge after it checks for updates. As soon as it says it is ok to eject in itunes, the ipod reverts back to normal and after a while just shuts itself off.
I have tried plugging it in the computer while itunes is closed as well, and it does something very similar. It didn't always used to be this way - Sometimes I would need to fiddle with it, but I could get it to charge.
Any help is appreciated =)

The USB is turning off after it updates and Ejects.
Right click on My Computer and select Properties, Hardware, Device Manager.
Click on Universal Serial Bus.
Right Click on USB Root Hub then Properties.
In the box, select the Power Management tab.
Deselect Allow the computer to turn off power to this device to save power.
Do this for all the USB Root hubs which may show up.

  • HT1338 when I click on software update it says ''An error occurred while checking for updates.'' Why does it say that?

    So I bought a Powerbook G4 from a pawn shop and yes, I did check to see if it was still good. everything works fine but I need an update because I have OS X 10.3. So I connect to the internet and then I click on ''Software Update'' and I wait. But then a message opens saying ''An error occurred while checking for updates'' And I don't know why. HELP!!!

    Something temporarily wrong with your internet connection?
    Be aware that this is a very large file to download, it needs a strong consistent internet connection.
    Have the iPhone on the charger cable too.
    In the meantime read the threads in this forum about the visibility item and some other possible issues on the 4 and 4S (although a large number of people have these issues, it is still a minor percentage, but anyhow, be aware).

  • "software update"  "An error occurred while checking for updates"

    When I click on "Software Update", an error results, "An error occurred while checking for updates".  It is definitely connected to the internet.  I was gifted a G5 and I installed a new hard drive and loaded the OS, OS X 10.3.5.  That version of Safari does not display pages correctly.  E.g., support.apple.com/downloads just clocks on the righthand side of the page.
    Because cannot access that link, cannot manually update the OS - I was thinking this version is "old" and as a result, unable to connect to apple's update server.  Thanks.

    Thanks,  I upgraded with your info.
    Ultimately, I am trying to access mail.google.com but receiving  the following error with opera v9.5.x: Some important features may not work in this version of your browser, so you have been redirected to the Basic HTML version.
    Safari gives the following: Some important features may not work in this version of your browser, so you have been redirected to the Basic HTML version.
    I can access ask.com and using opera to type this response.

  • While checking for updates

    While trying to check for updates in the Mac store I get this message.
    Error has occurred. The request has timed out. When I click ok its says no updates avalable.

    Post subject: NSURLErrorDomain error -1100 in OS X 10.8
    If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

    I was recently trying to upgrade to mountain lion through the app store.  I have unreliable Internet from a cable company whom I will not name, but we all know who they are.  My Internet dropped while downloading the upgrade.  Once I went through the notorious unplug the modem/router and plugged it back in to gain Internet connectivity again, I could not resume. No matter what I did, the app store kept displaying "an error occurred." I am hoping that those with the same issue read this first to save them hours of skimming through the Internet to find a solution.  Here are the steps to take:
    1. Make sure you have reestablished Internet connection
    2. Chances are you got frustrated when you tried to resume/unpause the download and clicked the "X" to the left.  If so, select the "Store" drop-down menu from the App Store and select "View My Account." There should be an option to unhide your purchase.  You know what to do.
    3. There is also an option to  reset all warnings for buying and downloading under "View My Account." Do this, click "Done," sign out of the App Store and quit the App Store.
    4. Open the Preferences in safari and select Privacy.  Select "Remove All Website Data."  Just do it.
    5. Launch the app store and sign in.
    6. Now, if you "Check for Unfinished Downloads" everything works peachy.
    I hope this helps.  Not much I can do for your Internet connection though.

  • Firefox insists on freezing computer while checking for updates I have said not to check

    Firefox repeatedly checks for updates of disabled addons. I have DO NOT CHECK FOR UPDATES enabled, but . . . WTF FF ignores my options as if they weren't entered. I've done all I can.
    I'm pretty tired of trying to open FF and being delayed while FF pleasures itself at my expense.

    Yes, the Intex website does say that the phone has v1.3 installed. (http://www.intexmobile.in/product_detail.aspx?PID=191&PCatID=3#)
    But in the settings it says that the software version installed is '''Intex_cloud_FX_V07''', and the update channel is '''release-spreadtrum'''. Does it mean the Intex uses its customized version of the OS? If so, how do I switch to the ''un-customized'' version.

  • Error while checking for update

    Lately, when I sync my iPad to iTunes on my mac, when I click on "Check for Updates" I get the following error message...
    "iTunes could not check for an update to the carrier settings for your iPad. An unknown error occurred (1631).
    Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again"...
    The network is fine, both on the mac and the iPad... And the phrase "...could not check for an update to the carrier settings" doesn't even seem to make sense???? It used to work but this just started recently and now the error pops up every time I try... My iPad is WiFi + 3G but I've never activated the 3G coverage...
    Any thoughts??? thanks... bob..

    I hadn't seen that error either until just recently... I found this post,
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12635600
    where folks with the same problem have appeared to have found an answer...
    All I did was toggled my Cellular Data switch from OFF (where it always was before) to ON for a few seconds... That is not to say I signed up for AT&T service... I just toggled the Cellular Data switch but I was still running in WiFi mode as always...
    And it worked... Message gone... Other folks on that same post talk about inserting non-active SIM cards into their iPads to clear the error??? Don't know about that but the Cellular Data from default OFF, to ON and then back to OFF has, for the moment anyway, cleared the message for me...

  • App Store error while checking for updates

    I noticed recently that there hasn't been any updates for OS X Mavericks so I decided to manually check for one. When I did so, I got this error while attempting to check for an update:
    There's not much else to explain. The only other thing that has been getting really weird on my computer recently is my keychain. It keeps forgeting the wifi password for my house saying "Keychain 'System' could not be found to store B7F3D". It also keeps forgeting my icloud email password. Other than that, there is nothing else wrong.
    Thanks for any help!

    It seems it fixed on its own. Everything is working properly now.

  • HT4623 what is wrong when my iphone says, an error occurred while checking for updates

    what is wrong with my iphone,when i try to make software updates, i get a error message

    Try rebooting your iPad and then see if you have any success updating.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    please help me someone.
    pleasE?

    They are all in the same place. If you pick preferences in iTunes, you have a bunch of tabs. When the iPod is plugged in, one of the tabs will be for the iPod. You can also get there by right clicking on the iPod name over on the left side of iTunes and picking iPod options from that pop-up menu. But either way it gets you to the same place, and that's where you can check if it's in automatic or manual update mode.

    You will need to contact the app developer if your having problems with a 3rd paty app.  See if they have a support forum.

  • I cannot update iTunes. In instructions for updating it says to go to help and then click check for updates. Guess what! No help options within iTunes. I need to be able to syn my iPod touch 5 but I cant without the newest iTunes. I am sick of this crap.

    I am EXTREMELY tired of having to deal with this. iTunes has been an issue since I got it and unfortunately whenever I want to update my computer's iTunes account it demands I download a new format (which has continually gotten worse and WORSE over time). I wish things would not be updated so frequently. As soon as I have the new format working decently (ONLY decently, I have never had an apple product that has worked as it is stated it should) another update comes along. And THIS time, I cannot download it. First problem: I open iTunes. It says I need to update for my ipod to work. I think "great. I click ok and it will do it automatically!" Oh boy was I wrong. I don't do anything. I search up how to update things. It says ON THIS SITE: Go to help in the itunes store. THERE. IS. NO. CLEARLY. VISIBLE. HELP. SECTION. I have looked for FAR to long for this to be worth my time.

    Okay - let's cut to the chase...
    If the Menu Bar (File, Edit... Help) shown in my screenshot below is not visible, use CTRL+B to display it. Then click on Help/Check for Updates. If one is available, you will be able to select it at this time.
    Note the item at the bottom of the list; About iTunes. Selecting that will show you which version of iTunes you are using.
    An alternative method to display the Menu Bar is click on the box in the top left of your iTunes window...
