IPod not longer being recognized by PC?

Hi
I have a 4th Gen. iPod touch running 4.3.5. Yesterday I synced up my iPod fine. Today I tried but alas, it won't be recognised by the computer. It's not charging, nor is it showing up as any connected USB device.
Tried it on my other computer, same problem. Tried resetting it, same problem.
When I connected it to my wall charger, it will charge fine.
I have no idea what's wrong, it's like it arbirtrarily decided it doesn't like working on PCs.

See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

DVD not longer being recognized on iMac with Lion

Looking for help / ideas. I don't do this often, but placed a DVD in mac to watch a movie and it's not being recognized.

Is it doing the same thing with all discs or just the one disc? If it is just the one disc then your drive is fine and it's more likely the disc at fault, but if it's happening with several discs it points to the drive itself.
You could try running a cleaning disc through it and see if that helps.

Ipod no longer being recognized by my computer after downloading itune10.2

My iPod 4 - 64 was syncing and fully functional with iTunes version 10.1. The iTunes application suggested I upgrade to version 10.2. While upgrading my computer to iTunes version 10.2, the iTunes install application crashed. I re-downloaded the install application again. Then I did the iTunes version 10.2 install again. The install application asked if I want to fix (repair), or delete and reinstall. The install application was installed numerous times. Finally the install was successful, but the iPod was not recognized on any of my computers or Itunes. Has any one had this problem? I Have all the correct drivers for the USB for all of my computers they are all up to date. I authorized the computer. There are no virus on any of the computers. I have researched the problem and still have not found a solution. I am hoping someone one here will have a solution.
Thank you for
your Help

my ipod touch 2g is no longer being recognized by itunes why and what can i do i have reset it and everything

If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

IPod classic no longer being recognized by iTunes

iPod classic version 2.0.4 is not showing up in my iTunes anymore. I can see it listed in my device manager under Other Devices as iPod with a yellow exclamation point, although I've followed the instructions in this article iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows and I get an error stating "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. The system cannot find the file specified."
I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes already. I also have an iTouch 5th gen which is being recognized fine, the same iPod classic is being recognized on my laptop fine but my pc is what has all my music is.

I am having the exact same problem. My ipod has been stuck in disk mode for over two hours and now itunes is frozen.

My Apple ID is no longer being recognized after IOS5 update

My Apple ID is no longer being recognized after upgrading my I-Phone to IOS5. When trying to update my aps, it asks for the password and doesn't recognize it when I enter it. I've been through the entire "Forgot my ID" process, but nothing's working. Can anyone help please?

Me too my real worry is that we will not be able to download software updates as it seems to me that the original software was installed using the old ID

Okay everyone I was able to resolve the issue with my scanner.
After posting here I recalled how my wireless mouse was acting up and the step I took to resolve that issue, so after uninstalling the hp software I went to the Library/Preference folder and removed all the hp scanjet plist and all the other related scanjet files.
I emptied the trash can and restarted my computer and then reinstalled the updated driver and "walaa" I was once again able to create magic.
Well thanks to everyone.

My Lacie Hard Drive is no longer being recognized by my MacBook, please help.

Hi all,
I have a Lacie external hard drive (LaCie Rugged XL eSATA 3Gb/s | USB 2.0) that I have been using on my MacBook (timemachine) (late 2008, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with OS X 10.9.1). One day it stopped being recognized, not showing up on the desk top, the disk utility program, etc.
I Googled many articles, blogs and support communities but have yet to find any solution. I also went to the Lacie support site and followed the trouble shooting instructions - changed my power source, usb cable, and tried the drive out on 3 different computers. The results: The drive works fine on the other computers (OS X and Windows) using the same power and usb cords. So Lacie recommened I contact Apple but my MacBook is not under warranty so I have decided to try my luck with the Apple Support Community. If any one has had this problem or knows the solution, please let me know. I would like to continue to use my MacBook with this Lacie hard drive.
Thanks

Hi Dibenkorn,
Yes, both USB ports are not recognizing this lacie external hard drive. I also tried the SMC reset but that did not change anything. I have another external hard drive (smaller one) and it works on this computer fine and like I said before the Lacie works fine on my other (older) MacBook. I just can not figure out what went wrong or what happened...

Ipod isn't being recognized by my pc or itunes.

For some reason (probobly something stupid I did) my ipod is telling me to connect to itunes to restore, however when i connect my ipod to my computer itunes doesn't say it has connected and my pc says that it isn't connected in any of the usb ports. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and resetting my ipod, but my pc/itunes says that the ipod is not connected. The ipod however says it is and still charges and comes up with a white do not disconnect screen.

There are too many plausible suggestions, refer to this Apple Support Article on
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
But do the Disk Diagnostic first, as posted by tt2, it will help us in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day!

Ipod no longer being registered

I recently registered the Ipod and everything worked fine. However recently the Ipod no longer seems to charge or be registered when I plug it into my mac, it tells me the device is unsupported? But it was only a week ago, and now nothing?

- After connecting to a charger/computer for half an hour try resetting the iPod;
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next connect to the computer. If iTunes sees the iPod retore the iPOd
- If not shown in iTunes try placing the iPod in recoverymode and then restore via iTunes. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Headset No Longer Being Recognized

Hi,
I am currently using the Nokia X3 mobile phone with the nokia headphones that came with it. Everything was working fine this morning until this afternoon i plugged my headphones in again and they are not being recognized as being inside the phone meaning that any music or radio i play is played out loud through the speaker.
I have tried using different headphones and they seem to be working fine and i have also tried the nokia headset i use for my phone in my computer and the headset also seems to be working fine in the computer.
I was wondering if someone could please tell me how to solve this problem?
any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

I have the same problem, I ordered a new set of WH 05 headphones and they work fine.
It's not the first Nokia I've had this problem with, I believe its to do with the remote(end call/skip) function being damaged when the headphones are used on a non-Nokia device.
I think the moral of the story is don't use Nokia remote headphones on anything non-Nokia...
