IPod is not even recognized as a usb device

My problem is that when I connect ipod to my PC, both devices stays as nothing happened. Even ipod wont charge. But its working fine with my laptop with the same cable. My PC is working fine with other usb devices i have such as pendrive, my blackberry etc. I have no other problems with my ipod. I tried connecting to other USB ports, restarting the PC, tried reinstalling the itunes and all other small apps installed with itunes like apple softwaree updater etc. But nothing works. Its not even shown on the 'Device Manager' under Universal Serial Bus Controllers list. What should I do to resolve this issue? I have Windows 7 PC with Core i3 and DH55 series motherboard. I have no optical drive.

I seem to be having the same problem. I searched all the posts from the discussions and havent found a solution that works for me. My iTouch, out of the blue, decided it didnt want anymore songs, my PC no longer recognized the USB device. So, I didnt mind losing any of the songs on it when I restored it, got backups, but still cannot connect to iTunes.
Figured it was a software problem on my PC. Got back ups? Restored my PC off a mirror image, downloaded, and reinstalled iTunes. Great! It works! iTunes is detecting it, iPod screen changes from wire connect to iTunes to Mac apple, iTunes detects a iTouch, but it must be restored befor iTunes can sync it. No biggie, did it once, dont mind doing it again.
Clicked restore... Extracting files... Preparing iPod for restoring. iPod screen changes from Mac apple to Mac apple with loading bar for restoring. PC makes "duh dong" noise as if USB device has been removed. iTunes still says, "Prepairing iPod for restore."
Good minute goes by, iPod returns to wire connect to iTunes, and iTunes says unable to restore iPod due to unknown error... Great. Now my PC is back to unable to recognize USB device.
Please help! I tried all solutions on the posts from reinstalling driver to blocking auto startup for iPods. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

  • New 3rd Gen. 4 GB iPod Shuffle not being recognized by computer or iTunes

    Hey everyone, I've read some of the other posts here on this thread about other people having problem getting their computer to recognize the new 4 GB iPod Shuffle when plugged into the USB drive, and it seems like I am having a very similar issue. I just received my iPod in the mail a few days ago and tried plugging it into the USB and got NO response whatsoever from my computer or iTunes. I am operating with Windows XP (Service Pack 3) on a Dell Inspiron Intel processor, 2 GHz with 3 GB RAM, with iTunes 8.1 (just updated). When I put something in my USB usually I hear a noise (sounds like DO-do ha) which tells me that my laptop recognizes whatever is plugged in, and usually I get a little box in the bottom right hand part of the screen that says it's been plugged in. I didn't get any of this when I plugged it in.
    When I first opened the box I turned the shuffle on and the light went green for 1 second, orange for 1 second, red for one second, then dead..I suppose this is expected since I figured it's new and needs to be charged, so I turned the shuffle off, plugged the USB into the earphone socket then into my USB, and then turned the shuffle on, and got nothing but the same sequence of lights. It's one thing if iTunes just didn't recognize the shuffle, but I checked the Device Manager and My Computer and the USB drive wasn't even listing the shuffle as being plugged in..maybe the USB cable that came with it is faulty?? I read all of the technical troubleshooting notes on here and tried the 5 R's and nothing is working at all..
    I do have one guess about this though..I also have an 80 GB iPod 5th generation that I've used for over a year now for my car and that plugs into the USB fine with its respective cable and is recognized by iTunes..my question is, can my iTunes only recognize one iPod at a time? Does it reject the shuffle because iTunes is only allowed to sync to one iPod per account? If this is true, is there a way around this so it can sync both, or can I have two iTunes accounts on the same computer? But why does the computer not even recognized it when plugged in? Hopefully it is just the cable that is damaged and not the device..wow this was long, but any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

    And to avoid any meaningless crap: Yes , my USB cable works, iTunes somewhate works and is the latest version, no my iTouch isn't jailbroken and DFU/Recovery Mode aren't recognized either
    Anyone care to help?

    ? What do you mean? Does this have some relationship as to why my computer *****?

    Reinstalling the latest version of iTunes has no affect

  • IPod is not being recognized in any sort.

    I recently updated to Windows XP Service Pack 2 and my iPod is not being recognized in iTunes and My Computer. Before the update, when I connected my iPod to the computer it would be recognized as a device plugged into the USB but not anymore. Right now I have it plugged in and it's not even charging. I tried most of the usual things to do to fix the problem but nothing is working. Please help, thank you.

    While my iPod works perfectly well on my Windows XP Desktop, my new Laptop with Vista Ultimate will not recognize the fact that it is even plugged in..
    The iPod however does recharge nicely.. What is of concern is that my desktop is not portable and not readily accessible when I want to download new music and or photos.
    Itunes appears to work well on the Laptop with the exception of not being able to access my iPod.
    Anyone have any ideas??

    Did you try using another usb port? my hardrive has two maybe yours does. And if you have a game console, some of those have usb ports so plug your ipod in there and see if that reconizes it.

  • My ipod is not being recognized by Windows XP. Any Solutions for this problem?

    When I plug in my ipod to my ASUS Netbook it says, "Usb Device Not Recognized". When I tried a different device it vworked fine, so is there a problem with the ipod itself?

    What were the other devices? If not an iPod touch, iPhone or iPad then try:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    If one was one of those devices then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    - Place the iPod in Recovery mode and then try to restore via iTunes.
    - Also see the following as necessary:

    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

  • I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?

    I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
    It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.

  • HT1369 Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed and mobile programs associated with my non apple cellpho

    Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

    I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
    Go to 'Settings'
    'Music'
    Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
    Then connect to iTunes and sync!

  • I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.

    I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.
    I am running Mac OSX 10.4.11. According to the System profiler the CD/DVD drive is a "PioneerDVD-RWDVR-112D." When I compare the information under this heading, the only unusual difference from my iMac is that the G5 reads "Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)." My iMac reads "Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)."
    Under the System Preferences the options are set to "Ask what to do" when a blank CD or DVD is inserted. Music CD set to open iTunes, Picture CD set to open iPhoto, Video DVD set to open DVD player.
    Do you have any suggestions?
    Thanks, Jack

  • 10.7 update and now my iphones/ipod is not being recognized.

    10.7 update and now my iphones/ipod is not being recognized in windows 7 service pack 1. I have 2 iphones and an ipod 3G. I have to go into services and stop the apple mobile device and start it up again to get my devices recognized. Anyone else having the same issue? One of the iphones is not upgraded to the new iOS, the other phone and the ipod are updated.

    Hi,
    You probably need to update to Snow Leopard10.6.8
    Click Apple icon top left and click Software Update and keep doing that until it says software is up to date.
    That should bring your itunes to the correct version.
    Hope this helps,
    Alan
