Ipod nano usb error msg

Purchased nano last month, charged it and used it until today when it needed recharge.  Plugged it into USB port and got this message:
"One of the USB drivers has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it.  Click here."  Then I got "unknown device".  Then "windows has stopped device because it reported a problem (Code 43).
I then made sure software and driver was loaded - then tried my Ipod shuffle which worked fine in either of the ports.
I can't turn my new Nano on or get iTunes to recognize it.
What happened???  Can anyone help me?

Hey Wanda32,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Looks like the iPod is not being recognized correctly. Take a look at these 2 articles, they have good information to help you resolve this.

  • Ipod nano, firewire error msg and refusal to stop

    Recently I had an error message on my nano stating that the iPod does not support FireWire. This message occured while I was using the iPOD while running and there for it was not connected to any computer. I use a windowsXP machine, and thus no firewire at anytime. I restored the nano and it worked. The next day I received the same error message. Also the nano would not turn off. The batteries ran down, and the next day I again restored the nano. At this point the nano will play but it will not turn off. The pause function will work (the button is active), but continous pressing of the pause/play button will not turn off the nano.
    Suggestions?

    Okay, I had this exact problem today. The firewire error message came up while I was playing a podcast. I couldn't make the message go away by clicking the center button. I plugged it in to my computer (USB) and then once I unplugged it, it would not turn off. After some troublshooting with Applecare on the phone, once I uninstalled iPod for Windows, iTunes, QuickTime (in that order, don't restart between iTunes and Quicktime. Once Quicktime is uninstalled, then restart.) and then reinstalled the newest version, iTunes+QuickTime and THEN restored the iPod I no longer had the error message and my iPod does turn off. This is, of course, good news for me because I am about to go on a trip and NEED my iPod! Also keep in mind that once you disconnect the iPod from your computer, it won't turn off right away. It needs to sit for about 10 seconds before it will allow you to turn it off.
    Good luck!

  • Ipod Nano USB driver fails continuosly

    Initial problem: Device not found; located error in USB driver, uninstalled driver, rebooted sytem, found new driver - installed properly able to sync. (No hidden drivers listed in que) unconnect/reconnect ipod and USB driver error returns.(Each time)
    Background services running are: Yahoo ISM, winamp, InCD, HP monitor, ATT self support, Logitech quick cam, McAfee, Index search.
    Any known reasons why USB driver would continue to fail from dormant state? (unconnected and plugging in)

    Make sure you have no other USB drives connected to your computer when connecting your iPod. I have a 4th gen Nano which fails to connect up when I connect it to my other Vista-based PC only if my USB hard disk is connected up.
    I need to disconnect my external USB hard drive in Vista to get it to "see" the iPod. Also, might be handy to disconnect other USB devices like printers and your Logitech camera (which I have also connected, but that doesn't have any problem).

  • Ipod nano 6g, error code 1601

    hello
    I have a problem with iPod nano 6g. When connected to the iMac is not visible. I push all the buttons and wait. It starts to connect and after a while the message: iPod is visible but unrecognized. error 1601??
    I would add that for some time does not turn on. Yesterday I connected it to yamaha hifi and work. today again is black.
    Please help Maja

    Hey MajaPil,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Looks like you are getting an error when connecting to the iMac.

    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

  • 1GB 1st Generation iPod Nano USB Device Not Recognized on any computer

    I just recently received a free 1st generation 1GB iPod nano from a friend because they couldn't get it to work. I figured I'd take a crack at it and hopefully get a working, free iPod out of the deal...
    It already had music loaded on it (mostly a bunch of garbage), so like anyone else in my position I proceeded to reformat the little sucker and wipe its slate clean.
    Here is what happens when I try to connect the nano to ANY computer:
    Here is how the nano shows up in device manager:
    This was the original problem I was having with my desktop PC which is running Windows XP Home with SP2 and all the latest Windows updates. It is running iTunes 7.5.0.20, w/ latest iPod updater software version 1.2.3.
    Prior to testing the 1st gen. 1GB iPod nano, I had been charging and syncing my 5th generation 60GB iPod classic on my desktop PC using the same exact cable. All of my USB ports are in working, functional condition and order. I even have “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” unchecked under USB Root Hub Properties.
    I tried a couple different USB ports and I used another cable, no luck. So I moved on to my Fujitsu laptop running Windows Media Center Edition, all latest Windows updates, same version of iTunes and iPod software (the difference being that I DO NOT sync any iPods to it, nor do I have any music on it). SAME EXACT PROBLEM, same message bubble, same entry in device manager, and same lack of driver availability.
    Thinking maybe it’s just a “PeeCee” thing I dug out my old PowerBook G4 running the ancient Mac OS 10.2. Keep in mind this thing only has a 400 MHz G4 processor, 512MB RAM, 30GB hardrive, and USB 1.1 ports. The iPod nano wouldn’t even give a hint that it existed when I plugged it in.
    I have tried every single little Apple trick available. I’ve done the forced restart while connected and while not connected to the computer. I’ve done forced disk mode while connected and while not. I’ve run iTunes diagnostic tests on connected devices. I’ve messed with USB port settings. I’ve tried two different USB 2.0 iPod cables. I tested my dad’s 8GB 2nd generation iPod nano to see if it linked up with my desktop and my laptop IT DOES. I even tried my 60GB 5th gen iPod classic OVER AGAIN to see if it still worked, IT DOES.
    Also, this 1st gen iPod nano will not charge when hooked to the computer through USB. When I plug it in, between the time it’s plugged in and when the “USB device recognized” bubble pops up the battery icon shows it is charging, but as soon as that bubble pops up it disappears and discontinues pretending to charge.
    On my Fujitsu laptop, I uninstalled everything having to do with Apple. I uninstalled iTunes, Apple Software Update, everything. Restarting after it all of course. Then I installed the old iPod Software Updater from 6-28-2006. I was pretty sure this wouldn’t work because the iPod isn’t even recognized by the computer. In order for the iPod to work in the iPod Software Updater or iTunes it has to first be recognized at the basic Windows level. Which it isn’t…
    I have done research all across the net and the only real answer I found was that the iPod Nano’s internal USB controller is dead. I’m 99% sure it has nothing to do with my laptop, desktop, USB cables, software, or drivers. What do you guys think?

    Nope I have not figured anything out since I posted this. The closest answer I've found is that it's the internal USB controller which has gone bad. If that's the case than there is really nothing more I can do.
    I did find one opening and that was the diagnostic screen. You get to it by holding down the Menu and Center buttons, as soon as the iPod resets hold down the Left and Center buttons, the iPod will beep and then it will go to a diagnostic screen. Maybe somewhere in there you can find the problem I don't know how to use it though.

  • Formatting to windows XP Ipod nano Usb 1.1

  • First Generation Ipod Nano gives error message when using Windows Vista

    I have a dual boot PC running XP Home and Vista Home Premium. My three kids have Ipod Nanos. Each kid has their own user profile on the PC. The later generation Nanos (2) work with Vista perfectly.
    The first generation Nano causes an error message when you connect the Ipod to the PC while running Vista. If you run the XP and associate the Nano with XP everything syncs perfectly with no error messages.
    Conclusion: Early Nanos work with XP, but do not function properly with Vista.
    Request of Apple INC. - Fix this to work with Vista, or send me a new Ipod free of charge.

    All of the following programs should work with Vista.
    Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.

  • Ipod nano 6G error 9006

    After several months I found my Ipod Nano again. In the meanwhile, I switched from Android to Iphone 5s and got quite common with ITunes.
    ITunes does find the Ipod, but states, that he is in "maintenance mode" and needs to be restored by ITunes - done so, updated ITunes to newest version, IPhone works well, but when downloading newest IPod Nano software, at the end of the 4-5 minutes download I receive error message "unkown error 9006".
    I've presed power button together with vol - also for x-times, but unsucessful.
    Is there any hint I haven't been able to find via google??
    Please advise

    That one can indicate a security software issue. In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

  • Ipod nano sync error 13019 - I've tried everything suggested.Now I Have a blank Nano. Any suggestions?

    Now I have a blank nano.

    Hello RonTheStockGuy,
    I agree with Ingo2711. Here are the steps to fix the issue:
    The steps are kinda long but they work.
    This is for windows computers with iPod nano that get the error 13019 during or after a sync with iTunes.
    -Open itunes
    --click, edit, click preferences
    --select advanced
    ---make a note of the iTunes media folder location on a notepad.
    ---put a check in organize files
    ---take the check out of copy files
    ---click ok
    --Click file, at the top of iTunes
    --move mouse over library, select organize, and consolidate files. ( This ensures all music in you iTunes will be in the iTunes media folder later.)
    At this point, if you have playlists you want to save:
    -Create a folder on your desktop, call it, playlists
    --Hover you mouse over your playlist in iTunes, should be at the bottom of the blue/grey column on the left.
    --right click the playlist, select export playlist
    --Navigate to your desktop and open the playlist folder and save.
    ---Do this for each playlist you want to save
    -Close itunes
    -Click your start button, and open computer or my computer
    --Using what you wrote down on your note pad, follow the path to the "iTunes folder", NOT the iTunes media folder
    --Open the iTunes folder.
    --Stop here
    -You will see icons that look like folders and you will see icons that look like files-
    -You will KEEP the FOLDERS
    -You will DELETE the FILES
    --If it makes you more comfortable you can cut the files out and paste on your desktop, but as of now we do not need the files any longer as we have the playlists backed up. Remember-Keep the folders.
    --That was the magic--
    -Disconnect your iPod if connected.
    -When you open your iTunes, it will be empty, that is OK. We are recreating the library. Everything will come back in a few seconds.
    -Click file at the top
    --Select, add FOLDER to library, not to be confused with add file.
    --In the window that pops up, locate and click on computer or my computer
    --From here follow the path to the iTunes media folder on your note pad, but do not open the iTunes media folder.
    --Click the iTunes music/media folder one time so it highlights.
    --On the bottom right you will have option to select folder, or choose folder or OK. Hit that button.
    All you music will start to import back into iTunes.
    -Plug in iPod after completed
    --a message pops up about being synced with a different library.
    --Click erase and sync
    --Watch all your songs go on your iPod with no error message.
    From here you may sync your iPod the way you want with out worrying about the persnickety error 13019!!!!!
    Hope this helps!!!

    p.s.s. To add your playlists back to iTunes:

    --move your mouse over library, selecte import playlist
    --on the new screen that pops up, navigate to your desktop
    --open the playlist folder, select the first playlist, hit ok
    --repeat for each playlist exported

  • Ipod Nano sync error :  Hard disk write protected

    I have a 2nd gen IPod nano 4 GB. I had Itunes 7.1 installed on my PC when I last synced. A week later my disk crashed and in the new disk I installed Itunes 7.2. When I tried to sync, I get a error message which says " disk is write protected. Please remove write protect and sync again "
    Can someone help

    No, you can use a third party program like Yamipod, or XPlay2, etc. But I would advise you to download iTunes anyhow, even if you have to go to another computer and then burn it to a CD or something.

  • IPod Nano + USB Power Adapter (+ Universal Dock)

    Hi,
    I've got an iPod Nano and a USB Power Adapter to charge it. Untill a few days ago it went fine, even with my Universal Dock between them. But since 2 days my iPod only charges when I put the Power adapter direcly into the wall plug, but with my Hi-Fi installation I'll have to use it with a multiple socket.
    Does anybody know why and how to get round this?
    Thanks

    possibly a fuse blown in the multiple socket plug?? or even in the power adapter itself
