IPod not connecting with USB?  I've found a solution!

So it appears as though a lot of people are coming up with the "my iPod won't connect as a USB device" problem. I was too, and it was highly frustrating. Today I found a solution. I had ordered a set of extra USB and firewire ports for my computer, and although the iPod STILL didn't connect with my new USB ports... it works perfectly with the firewire ports. So, it appears that if you're having this problem where you cannot connect your iPod with a USB cable, switch to the firewire cable and hopefully it'll help you as it has helped me.
Good luck!

I have the dictation up and running in a new version of Pages but it just keeps running and running and not doing a thing.  I could have typed my sentence 5 times by the time I waited for anything to happen.
I have used Dragon on the iPad and it is amazing.  Seems that the iOS platform for the new iPad makes dictation a breeze.  A world different than trying to make it work on a laptop device using Mountain Lion.
I think there are kinks to be worked out.  Looking forward to an update

    Because the hub is not compatible with the iPod.

  • Nokia 5230 does not connect with USB

    When I plug the cable in my phone and notebook, the phone asks me to select the connection type. I select PC Suite. I have downloaded the latest version, but PC Suite does not connect with my phone. 
    I use Windows XP Home Edition SP2
    I don't have a clue about the cable type, but it fits.
    There is no SD card in it
    Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    In that case, uninstall all Nokia related software and drivers with Revo, clean the registry with Ccleaner. Reinstall the latest PC Suite, turn off antivirus during install. Reboot the PC. Start PC Suite and then connect the phone in PC Suite mode.

  • Droid will not connect with USB to Windows 7?

    Hello Everyone,
    I recently upgraded to a RAZR M and can not connect to my PC with the USB cable. I have tried cable that came with phone and others and get the same message that USB driver did not install correctly. The phone did an update of the operating system less than a week after getting it so I am not sure what is up.
    Also tried the MTP and PTP settings to see if that made any difference without help. I know my last phone had a setting for mass storage USB and I do not see that on the Droid.
    Anyone else have this problem and been able to fix it?

    Not an answer for you, yet I had this issue on my new Razr HD. The SD card was sort of accessible, I could transfer one file and then the directory info and transfer would get all goofy... However, on the HD there is an option for mass storage. It just needs to be set. Refer to the manual. Out of the box mine was set for MTP. Once it is set to mass storage it is not accessible by the phone (to find the stuff you transferred as mass storage) until you go back to the same menu and set it back to MTP.

  • Ipod not connecting with itunes

    My itunes works fine until I plug my ipod in. Then is won't respond and recognize that I connected the ipod. When I disconnect my ipod is says "The required folder cannot be found" If any one could help me with this problem I would be very grateful.

    Hi HB7555!
    First, try deleting the "iPod Photo Cache" folder off your computer (if you have synced photos to your iPod in the past).
    Go to the "START" menu on your computer, and click on "Search". Select "All files and folders", and type in "ipod photo cache" into the blank.
    Delete any folder(s) you find that are called that.
    Then, try syncing your iPod with iTunes again.
    If that doesn't seem to change anything with your error or seem to be the problem, then let's try a full reinstall of iTunes:
    Disconnect your iPod from your computer.
    Go to "Add or Remove programs" in Control Panel. Find "iTunes" and "QuickTime" on this list, and remove them both.
    Then, download the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, to clear out the remaining iTunes and QuickTime installation files off your computer (see this MS document for information on it):
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Also, use this article to manually remove the left over files from installation:
    Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
    After you've done that, restart your computer.
    Then, go to this page to install the iTunes + QuickTime installation pack onto your computer again:
    Download iTunes - 7.1.1.5
    Now, restart your computer once more.
    After the computer has fully loaded up, open iTunes, and connect your iPod to your computer.
    Try automatically syncing it with iTunes again - do you get past that "reqired folder" error message, or not?

  • ITunes No Longer Synching With iPods, Not Connecting with iTunes Store

    iPods: both iPod touch, 2nd Generation, 8GB
    iTunes: (Most Recent Version)
    Issue:
    For a while, the iPods of myself and a family member have not been able to synch our iPods with iTunes anymore: when plugged in, it only appears to charge, does not show up in "Devices", does not do anything. I've run Diagnostics several times, tried redownloading iTunes, & checked settings, etc.
    Also, whenever I try to go into iTunes Store, it says that it "Cannot connect to iTunes Store", even if connection to the internet is fine.
    These problems started occurring simultaneously, as well as out of no where. As I recall, I had no problem synching & going into iTunes Store the day before.

    Ask your other family members if they did. Something has to have changed.
    I am betting it's something on the PC, since two ipods going bad at the same time would be highly unlikely.
    If you have auto updates turned on for Windows & security software, it might not even be obvious they occurred.
    You can try restarting your modems/routers/and PC, in that order.

  • Ipod not connecting with my iMac G5

  • Ipod not charging with usb, but will with firewire?

    ipod will only charge at apple store using a firewire charger. What can I do? It seems not to charge are all using usb.

    Why not just use Firewire? If Firewire works, use that. There is no need to send the iPod in for service if Firewire works and USB does not.
    the reason I would send it in for service if the USB portion of the connector is not working is:
    1) it could be a problem that will propegate to the firewire side of the connector
    2) because the USB side should be working
    3) if I am someplace with a machine that does not have a firewire port to plug into
    if its covered under the warranty, then get it fixed so everything works
    imho

  • My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). How do I fix it?

    My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). I have tried unplugging the devices, restarting the computer, selectively unplugging and plugging in the devices, closing and opening the relevant applications (iTunes, iPhoto, etc). I have tried using different USB cables.
    It's like all of a sudden the synching service stopped functioning or recognizing these devices for some reason. The other ports work just fine (monitor).
    The only USB-connected external device that appears to be unaffected is the USB SuperDrive and it works on all the USB ports into which I plug it.
    How do I fix this?

    Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens or doesn't happen.

  • IPod 3g works with usb, not through firewire

    Hello everybody.
    That's a long time the problem happened, but now it gives me a big trouble because I can't change music on my iPod 3G 10go.
    In fact, iPod was recognized through firewire by my iMac G3 until I installed Tiger. But charging is OK. After having installed that great OS, I can interract with iPod only through USB. That's a big problem because there's only USB 1 on iMac G3.
    I've restored iPod, reinstalled it, having too repaired my iMac G3 disk with Disk Utility. But it still doesn't work.
    So here's a resumee of all things I've done :
    -Reinstalled iPod softwae (last version available)
    -It does not work with my new iMac Core2duo, so that's not a problem with one of my two computers.
    -That shouldn't be a problem with firewire cable because charging is OK.
    -That shouldn't be a problem with dock connector because it works fine when I use iPod on Universal Dock with Apple Remote.

    Hi Xavier
    Yes many people seem to be having this problem since installing the new iTunes 7 and ipod software 2.3, however no one seems to know what is the real cause. My 3G iPod was perfect for years, and since last week I have been unable to connect to my Macbook Pro with firewire. However it is fine with USB.
    People keep telling me to restore my ipod to an older software version (older than 2.3), however the 3G ipod is unable to restore using USB, and requests the firewire connection to restore.
    Thus, I connected with USB and restored using iTunes on windows (using bootcamp on my MBP). However now my ipod is Windows formatted, and is having problems importing music in OS X.
    Just wanted to let you know that others are having this problem, and we are waiting for Apple to issue a response/fix/update.

  • TS1369 My ipod ejects itself, immediately after connecting with usb cable, before synchronizing could start. What's wrong?

    My ipod ejects itself, immediately after connecting with usb cable, before synchronizing could start. What’s wrong?

    Have you tried plugging the iPod in with a different USB sync cable to verify the issue is not with the cable?  It might not also hurt to connect it to another USB port as well.
    Otherwise, try manually placing the iPod into Disk Mode and then connecting it to your PC.

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
