Ipod message re usb port

Even though my ipod is connected to a 2.0 usb port, ever since I upgraded to itunes 7.1 I get a message that I am connected to the 1.1 usb port and that the ipod would work better with the 2.0. What gives, how can I stop getting the message every time I dock my ipod.
eMac Mac OS X (10.3.2)

I have the identical problem on my eMac (not Intel). No problems connected at 2.0 USB until 3 weeks ago. Everything on the video iPod and Mac are up to date. Mac OS 10.4.8. I disconnected all other USB devices except an external hard drive that has been fine. I have tried two cables AND my daughter's iPod Mini. All report USB 1.1. Yes, it is slower.
Oh! I did upgrade to iTunes 7.1. At the same time as the problem appeared? I dunno.

  • Cannot remove iPod Shuffle from USB port

    I cannot physically remove iPod from the USB port on my Dell Latitude (Windows XP Pro). The device is recognized intermittently in My Computer. Powering the notebook off doesn;t solve the problem and I have done the "Five Rs".
    The deveice is physically locked - can slide it partially from USB prot, but it does not release.
    Any ideas?

    Wow!!! Take it to a Apple or Dell computer shop and hope they can remove it for you

  • Can't synchronize my IPod with the USB-Port of my 27 Inch Cinema Display

    I use a 27" Cinema Display with my Windows PC.
    It is connected via USB and Display Port.
    Synchronizing my IPod at the USB Port of the PC works fine.
    Synchronizing my IPod at each of the three USB Ports of the Cinema Display doesn't work.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks Stephan

    Sorry if there is any missing information. I'll try to put all requested information:
    The car system is the one that is already installed in my car, I mean it is not something bought externally and installed in my car. The car is a ford S-Max. This car has a complete radio system that includes a USB connection for mp3 players. It works ok but not with the iPod. The IOS installed is the last that has been released, but the iPod was not working with this connection before that update.

  • TS1363 When I plug my ipod into the usb port of my desktop, It will not recognize that anything is plugged into it.  However it does recognize my flash drives, so trying to resolve my problem.  Please help...

    When I plug my ipod into my desk top my computer will not recognize the ipod in the usb port.  I checked my usb port with one of my flash drives and it works fine.  My ipod is in stuck in recovery mode, so has to be gone thru on itunes.  Please help me

    Yes, I think so...  But what's odd here (to me) is that it actually matters what song the iPod was playing before being connected to that USB port.  What happens if you connect the iPod when it is not playing any song?  It seem like either the car audio system knows where to look for the iPod's song files, or it doesn't. 
    If you have a USB flash drive, try putting a few song files on it, and connecting it to that USB port.  That's probably the primary reason for that USB port, so customer can attach USB flash drives with song files.  If that works, and you can properly browse and play songs from the USB flash drive, you should just get a $5 8GB USB flash drive, fill it with your "car songs," and leaving it connected to the car audio system.  That would be more convenient that remembering to connect and disconnect your nano all the time, and less wear-and-tear on the nano.

  • Where can I get a cable to connect my 2nd generation iPod to a USB port on a Windows PC?

    My wife wants to give her old iPod to her sister but we don't have a cable that will connect to a PC's USB port.  Are there adapters or something similar available that will enable our old 2nd generation iPod to communicate with a PC via a USB connection?  Any other suggestions?

    Why not just buy another Apple USB dock connector cable from somewhere such as Amazon?  You (or your wife's sister) can get one used or brand new for pretty cheap.

  • On connecting my ipod to the usb port in my car, the ipod menu is inaccessible

    please help me to access the menu.

    Hello shashankj3,
    Have you tried *resetting* your iPod classic with it still connected to the USB port in you car?  To do this, press and hold the *Select* (Center) and *Menu* buttons together until the Apple logo appears.  Don't be afraid to try this more than once if necessary.
    If no luck there, try a different cable as well as contacting the manufacturer of your car to see if there is anything they can suggest as well.

  • Connect ipod video to usb port on home cinema receiver?

    I am trying to connect my ipod to my samsung home cinema receiver via the usb port. When i do it just hangs, is this not possible?

    I think you might be out of luck I'm afraid. The easiest way to connect it would be with a mini-jack to stereo RCA cable.

  • TIP: Fix for crashing iPods on (notebook) USB ports!

    I've read many stories here about iPods crashing on updates, or otherwise behaving unpredictable whilst connected to a computer. I also encountered such problems.
    Now I've found that, particularly on notebooks, there is an energy setting on the USB port(s) that is very likely to potentially cause problems if set incorrectly. This is especially true if USB-energy dependent devices like iPod are connected to it.
    To fix this, go to: system management -> computer management -> appliances -> USB controllers. There double-click on 'USB main hub' (or right-click and choose 'properties'). Next go to the 'energy management' tab and uncheck 'allow computer to switch off this device to save energy'. Repeat for every USB hub you may want to use for iPod or any other USB-energy dependent device. *
    Most likely this will fix any related problems.
    HTH!
    * NB: since my OS is in Dutch I've translated this into English myself. The exact terminology may therfore differ, but I'm sure you'll get the idea...
    PS: if this fix is helpful for many folks encountering these problems, perhaps the Admin or Mods can make it a 'sticky' topic to help new iPod owners in the future?

  • IPOD fried my USB ports

    Hey gang:
    Last night, I plugged my IPOD into my Gateway M210X laptop to do a download of new music.
    The laptop shut down suddenly - like someone just disconnected all power.
    I booted the laptop back up only to find that all three USB ports are now DEAD. The USB ports will not recognize any other devices I had plugged in like keyboard, mouse etc etc.
    Any ideas as to what happened?
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help out.

    You can click on the specifications link near the top of the page and find the model number of your machine. Then, you can go to WeLoveMacs.com and see the available service parts (and their part numbers), by model number.
    Be prepared for some sticker shock on a logic board.
    I agree with hatter, though. Probably easier to find a better USB card.

  • Usb unrecognisable message now appears when i plug my old ipod into the usb port on my v70. It used to work so i assume this is a problem caused by updating to the latest software. Has anyone been successful in downgrading to an earlier os using itunes

    I now get an urecognisable usb device message when i plug my ipod classic (ipod colour?) into the usb input in my Volvo V70. The ipod used to work, but since updating the IOs it doesn't. Can anyone tell me where i can find a copy of an old ipsw which does work so that i can downgrade back and acheive compatibility again,
    thanks chris jones

    perhaps someone from apple tech might contribute as the software upgrade has rendered the device useless for my purposes

  • Something won't let me disconnect my ipod from the USB port

    I plugged in my ipod to update my new downloaded songs. My computer never recognized my ipod and now the "do not disconnect" message won't go away. I tried clicking on icon in the lower right hand corner that usually tells me when it's ok to disconnect but it's not giving me the "ok".Can any one help me? I know that my sister unplugged hers with the "do not disconnect" message and she had to buy a brand new ipod. HELP!

    This is the QuickTime for Mac forum and so probably not the best place for you to get help with your issue. I'd suggest you ask in the iPod area; choose the "connecting to Windows" forum appropriate for your model of iPod.
    Good luck.

    I am using my boyfriend's ipod and in the past, when i plug his ipod into my usb port on my sony computer windows XP, it has always appeared under 'my computers" where i could register my files. I had my itunes library for my ipod shuffle, so i never had any problems with my iTunes tracking my bf's ipod. a few months ago, i reinstalled my operating system and now when i try to plug in his ipod to his computer with his registered snyced iTunes so he could access the files and music on his ipod, the USB is not recognizing the iPod. Why is that? could someone helpe me? why is the usb port not recognizing the iPod when it worked in the past previously? note: i do have the newest itunes 7.0 installed.

  • IPod Nano Drawing Too Much Power From USB Port

    My daughter plugged her iPod into the USB port of our iMac today, something she has been doing for months and months, and yet this time she was greeted with an error message telling her that something was drawing too much power from the USB port, so my iMac was shutting down that port.  I moved the iPod to another port -- same error message.  I moved the iPod to another iMac -- same message.  So I am confident that the culprit is the device and not the computer.  Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?  The iPod is an iPod Nano 7th Generation (current model).

    My issue has been solved.  The USB cable was bad.  I am unsure how to remove my question from the forum ... sorry for taking up anyone's time.

  • Disk write error, can't see iPod in usb port, could not format or restore

    I have had them all folks. I won this schuffle in a golf tourney with closet to the hole, I wish I could take that shot back and shank one. In short the iPod new sw releases are crap. Here is what I did:
    Plugged the ipod in a usb port in the back of my desktop to restore, would not restore from the high speed usb's in the frt of my Gateway, why? who knows.
    I did not update the ipod when it asked me to upgrade after the restore, however, I did upgrade iTunes to version 6.0.1.3.
    This config seems to be working, I can go into the ipod, delete the songs that are there and use the autofill and it has worked several times now. Prior to this I would get a disk write error, could not see the ipod in the usb, yada, yada, yada.
    Apple has a serious problem with the latest sw as is evident from this forum. If I helped one person out with this post I am thankful as I am a tech kinda dude, not too much and have played with this, reinstalled the sw, faced east and chanted to Mecaa while rubbing the side of my machine, to no avail.
    While I type this email message it's still working, put a pound in the till folks. This is a first kids, have not been able to do this several times in a row without some sort of error.
    It's all trial and error, hope this helps some of you, let me know.

    otherwise, here's a good place to start with that error message:
