IPOD charges when connected with USB cord, the computer doesnt recognize

I have an IPOD 4GB nano, when I connect the USB to the IPOD, it charges but the computer doesn't recognize it, itunes wont automatically start nor does it even show up on itunes. My other IPOD works fine with the cord. I tried the nano with another cord and still has the same problem. I tried resetting the nano, i've checked the usb ports...HELP!

Sorry for your difficulty. Might be better to post here though:

    I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
    When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
    I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
    I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
    nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.

    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 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.

  • Will not recognize the Lucid LG when connected with USB

    My Dell  will not recognize the Lucid LG when connected with USB. Both the computer and phone gives a split second prompt that they are connected but then goes away immediately.  After reconnecting it several times however it will finally recognize the mass storage. How can I get away from the hassle of multiple re-connections before it finally recognizes that connection?

        That's some helpful information about your issue samrmusso! Some recommendations that I have for you is to try a different USB port on the computer to see if it isn't an issue with that specific USB port.  Are you using the cable that came with the device (recommended) or a 3rd party cable (may not support data transfering properly)? You can also try restarting both the device and computer and retest. It's possible that there's a driver conflict on your Dell. Here's how to check for these types of conflicts: http://goo.gl/qH4m5 
    Keep us posted on any additional information/details about your issue.

  • Ipod wont charge when connected by USB

    My ipod doesn't charge when i connect via USB but will charge on Firewire..?? is this normal??

    My ipod doesn't charge when i connect via USB but
    will charge on Firewire..?? is this normal??
    I assume that you are referring to the ipod being plugged into your Mac when charging. The Mac cannot be in "sleep" mode if you want to charge the ipod by plugging into USB. However the Mac can be in "sleep" if you plug into the Firewire port. The reason is that the FireWire port is powered while the USB is not when the Mac is asleep.
    BTW you can charge via the USB 1 and not just USB 2. I have a 4G ipod that will charge when connect to my older iBook (2002 model) that only has USB 1.

  • Computer doesn't recognize ipod and ipod freezes when connected via USB

    My ipod has developed a problem.
    1. When hooked up to a computer it suddenly is not recognized by the computer--there is no "sync" noise and it odesn't appear in itunes. Also, all the buttons cease to function.
    2. Interestingly, it still works fine in my Boise player and also when in the car via audio cable.
    3. When i unplug it from the computer it works fine again.
    4. I tried a manual reset into disk mode hoping that i could "start over." Bad idea--still no connection AND now everything is off it.
    Any ideas to help with this?
    Thanks a ton.

    I have tried with two different cords and in different USB ports. I think it is an ipod problem, not a computer problem.

  • My iPhone 3G charges with a charger, but not when connected via USB to my computer and iTunes doesn't recognize it.

    Hello, my iPhone charges when I charge it with the wall plug but not when connected to a computer via USB and my iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone either. iTunes recognizes my iPod and iPad just fine. I have been to Apple iPhone support page and I have restarted my iPhone, the computer, tried different USB ports, etc. I have also tried my iPhone on different macs even with different versions of iTunes and no luck. This all started when I was cleaning out some lint from the usb connector, could I have damaged some part of the docking connection? But why does it charge with a wall plug then?

    I fixed the problem. When I was trying to clean the connector of the iPhone I must have bent some pins. I have straightened them to the best of my ability and now it syncs. If your iPhone charges, but doesn't sync, most likely you have a similar problem, because the iPhone doesn't need all of its pins to charge, but it does need all of them to sync.

  • IPod rapidly loses charge when connected to USB 2.0

    I just bought a new iPod photo 20g and a new powerbook 1.67 15". When I hook up the new iPod to the firewire it charges but doesn't mount. When I hook up the iPod with the USB cables it rapidly depletes the full charge in the iPod in about 20-30 minutes. Although the charge indicator shows a full charge ( the picture of the plug) as soon as you unplug it is shows a low charge.
    I tried several cables, and they all do the same. I tried another powerbook and it acts the same way.
    If I hook it up to a PC via firewire I can format it for the PC and it charges and reads fine. But when hooked up to the USB is also shows a full charge but once you unplug it, it shows you its true charge which is empty or close to.
    Are the charging curcuits different for Firewire and USB? It should like I have a bad iPod. Any thoughts................

    I have also just bought a new 20gig iPod colour, and when in it's dock connected to my high powered USB hub, it fully discharges the battery. However, when connected to the back of my G3 B+W, the battery charges fine...

  • Ipod 4th gen doesn't charge when connected with firewire

    when I connect my iPod with usb, it mounts and charge, but when i try to charge with firewire cable (connected to a PPC G4 or to my apple ipod firewire power adaptater), it doesn't(it mounts on my desktop, but doesn't charge...)... i realized it doesn't work after updatig the 1.2.1 version of software for windows....
    actually, My ipod works with the version for windows because i'm working with a Mac and ... a PC...
    Does anybody know what happens with my ipod???
    533 MHZ PPC G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   768 Mo SDRAM hd 280Go

    It can be caused by different things, please check the following one by one:-
    1. Check your firewire cable, is it a faulty one? have you tried another on?
    2. Do a Reset for your iPod and reboot your Mac again
    3. Make sure you turn the insight off, if any
    4. Redo the Restore to factory setting again (using the latest version of iTunes 7.1)

  • Hi I'm trying to install an HP C4180 printer as net printer through Alicegate router (Thompson technicolor). Printer works ok when connected with USB to Macbook air, but cannot be seen on the printer installation configuration. Mac OSx 10.7 (Lion)

    Hi folks.
    From this morning I'm trying to "see" an HP printer C4180 connected on the USB port of the wi-fi router (TIM Alicegate ADSL2 Wifi+N, manufacturer Technicolor).
    I installed latest drivers and checked everything is ok and works fine until printer is connected directly with USB to my Macbook Air.
    Then I connect the USB to the router and try to find the printer.
    On Alice help suggest to find it by ging to system preferences, then printers, add printer with "+", select "windows" sheet. There I can see - not always in reality, but sometimes - the "workgroup" in the left column, select, "alicegate" in second column, select, and here instead of finding the printer list there is a pop up saying that "the server version you are trying to connect to is not supported".
    Reading other forums, it may seem that the problem is Lion not yet supporting this kind of connection.
    Here a photo of the situation when the message occurs:
    Help..
    Thanks and regards

  • Ipod won't connect with USB 2.0

    When I connect my ipod to my computer using a USB 2.0 socket, it comes up with the do not disconnect screen for a few seconds then changes to 'ok to disconnect' with a tick on it.
    But when I connect it to a USB 1.1 socket it works fine. It doesn't seem to be a USB card fault as all my other devices work with the card, just not the ipod.
    iPod Photo   Windows XP  

    hmmmm. are there any other USB peripherals attached to the same card when you're trying to sync the ipod, Outtathaway?
    (i've seen a few cases where power drain on other USB ports was interfering with ipod/USB 2.0 connectivity.)
    what make and model of USB 2.0 card are you using? (i understand from my occasional visits to the Fifth Generation Ipod forums that cards with the NEC chipset seem to be giving people the best performance.)
