IPod not recharging from USB port

Hello and greetings, my 30gb iPod Video was acting just fine a few weeks ago in my computer, but all of the sudden it stopped charging whenever I plugged it into the USB port, it's working just fine, transfers songs, I can make playlist, I got it all up and working YET it just stopped working so after a couple of hours plugged into my PC it just turns off because it rans out of battery so I have to run and find another computer in order to recharge it, it used to recharge before what happened? how can I get it to work again?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your welcome.You know that its not possible to charge and synchronize the music at the same time because of only one port for both syncing and charging when you are charging it with the ipod power adapter.I have read in one of the articles that its necessary to have good charge on the ipod before syncing,restoring or updating the software.That's why the best thing for your ipod would be Ipod usb power adapter available online , costs pretty high 30$ but thats worth . Like many people even i think that apple should provide this power adapter as an included accessory.
And if you have more questions about ipod's battery ,you can go through this article which has battery faq's (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=62018). Cheers.

Ipod Touch not recognized by USB port on my new radio! PLEASE help?!?!?

Ok, so I just bought a new radio for my car so I can listen to my ipod touch 2nd gen (with the latest 3.0 software) through my speakers. Ok, that's all great, but the problem is that when I connect my ipod touch through the USB port on my new radio, it reads "device error"...
My radio is an Alpine CDE-102. It does have an AUX input, and I can easily get a cable to fix this problem... but I'm wondering why my ipod touch doesn't show up through the USB?!?! And I don't know how AUX input sounds compared to USB input (probably less quality than the USB...)
So, can you help me? I've also connected my ipod touch to my xbox 360 and it shows up as a camera - can't play music... all part of the same problem I guess...
This is a SERIOUSLY annoying problem especially since I just dropped some cash on the new radio which might not even WORK!!! AHHHHH! A problem with the USB cable? Problem with the Ipod? Problem with the stereo? I'm not quite sure what to think...

That is the ONLY cable that will work with that radio:

From reading the manual for your iPod I'm pretty certain the connector is on the rear of your unit.
You can connect an Auxiliary cable to the headphone out on your Touch to the AUX in on the radio but you will have to control everything with the iPod and it will not charge.
The cable is $30, why don't you ask how much they would charge you to install it?

My computer has Bitlocker encryption. When I plug in my iPod Shuffle to the USB port, iTunes does not recognize it.

My computer has Bitlocker encryption. When I plug in my iPod Shuffle to the USB port, iTunes does not recognize it. When asked to encrpt the Shuffle I say no, but still not recognized. When I encrypt it, still not recognized (even after it was restored by iTunes). Any suggestions please?

Did you find a solution?
My touch is doing the same thing.

Just updated to Yosemite, computer crashes everytime I unplug my WiMax from USB port

I have a MacBook Pro Retina, and updated from Mavericks OS X to Yosemite OS X.
Ever since the update, my laptop crashes everytime I unplug my WiMax portable internet from USB port.
The error message that appears says: “your computer restarted because of a problem, press any key to continue…”.
After pressing a key, the Apple logo and a loading bar appears, ~30s later, I am brought to login page.
I already tried to "repair disk permissions" in disk utilities, but the issue is not resolved.
Can you please teach me how fix my computer, so that it doesn't crash everytime I unplug my WiMax from USB port?
Thank you very much!

I have the same problem in Yosemite. If I turn off or disconnect my G-Technology Thunderbolt drive, my MacBook Pro freezes/crashes every time. I get a dark screen and message: “Your computer restarted because of a problem…” (and then it restarts automatically).
I always eject the drive first with no issue. It’s just when I power the drive down or physically disconnect the cable that the crash occurs.
Anyone find any solutions yet?

N585 - Win 8 Autoplay does not respond - one USB Port

I have a new (one month) N585 Ideapad, Canon Powershot camera plugged into 3 USB ports launches Windows Autoplay, the fourth (2.0 on the right, front that is NOT present on the G585) no Autoplay. I haven't installed any 3rd party SW (machine came with McAffee). Some investigation shows:
- camera appears as portable device in Device Manager (although no usual 'bong' when plugged in or removed)
- no Yellow/exclamation points for the USB hubs so that's ok
- can manually launch import w/ win8 Start/Pictures/Devices but no Autoplay popup appears
- Logitech mouse and flash drive DO work in the port
I've read everything from USB port power limit issues, to shell hardware detection, resetting Autoplay defaults, and editing the registry. Also, that Lenovos have a good number of USB port issues! Does anything jump out with the N/G series of IdeaPads???
I find it curious that this particular port is NOT on the virtually identical G585 machine profile....
Thanks in advance!

It could be that the port where it does not function may not be producing sufficient power for the given HDD. It has been shown that all USB ports do not output the same power. You might test with a USB 'Y' connector or a powered hub.
Ciao.

How do you remove hardware safely from usb ports? i cannot see any icons located on my screen

Only drives need to be "safely" removed in Mac OS X. If they are not on your desktop open a Finder window and they will be in the right hand column

Intel iMac won't boot up when iPod is plugged into USB port.

I have a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAM and 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Purchased new from Apple in January 2007. Running Mac OS X 10.4.10. Purchased a new 80 GB video iPod (v1.2.1) from Best Buy in June. Computer stopped rebooting soon after. I began by deleting preferences of various kinds with no luck. I've reset the P RAM, the System Power Manager or whatever ya call it. I've even done an Archive Install of the Mac OS. Yet every time I try an' reboot with the iPod plugged into the USB port I get the start-up chime then the gray screen and that's it. No gray Apple, no log-in window. I shut it down, unplug the iPod and it starts right up. Please, I'm beggin' ya. I don't want to have to wipe the hard drive and start from scratch. Any suggestions?
Thanks....

ABStrange -- the apple tech believes that the iMAC is trying to boot from the iPOD which is causing the hanging. Interestingly, if you wipe the iPOD clean, it will work flawlessly. The minute you put one song back on the iPOD it will hang again. Hopefully on Monday or Tuesday I'll hear something back. I'll let you know what I find out. I did mention this thread on the forum to the apple tech. Hopefully they take this seriously. Maybe it is a serious enough flaw with our iPODs that will warrant a replacement?
BTW: I upgraded to Leopard yesterday and the problem still exists. Was kind of curious to see if that had any effect.

When I plug in my IPOD Nano into a USB port, the computer recognizes it as a printer. It then attempts to install the printer software, which is already installed. The only way to fix it is to unplug the printer. Any thoughts?

Turn the printer off.

I want to import songs frm my Ipod to my itunes library. Songs were ripped from CDs to the ipod not purchased from itunes store...how can this be done?

You would have to let itunes rip the songs from the cd's, or you would have to copy the music from the computer which ripped cd's.
iTunes does not support transferring music from the ipod unless it was purchased from the store.

HP Pavilion 11 x2 not booting from USB

I have tried everything I can think of but my HP Pavilion 11 x2 will not boot from USB...I have Windows 10 currently installed on it and need to boot from USB to allow me to install a new OS on the machine.
I have gone into hte bios...(which I can see is a locked bios with very limited options)....I have turned off the Secure Boot option and have set the USB has the first boot device.
But when I hit F9 on startup...it just gives me 2 options:-
OS Boot Manager
Boot From EFI File
I have tried Boot from EFI File...but this does not work..
I know the USB is configured correctly as I can boot from it on my desktop computer.
How can I get this to work?
Thanks in advance

hi,
i stumbbled into your thread while i was looking for a similar answer for my Pavilion X2 10".
mine was delivered with win 8.1 with bing. it was alright to use, but i was unable to bring this machine to connect to my office domain. due to the lack of networking features which is only available in the pro or enterprise version of win 8.1.
i tried many ways to load in a win 8.1 pro os. the disc is authentic, keys are authentic, usb stick or optical drives; it makes no differences. the machine just refuse to boot into the usb disc / stick like all other previous system does.
there isnt an option for the bios to go into legacy mode. however there is an option to turn off the secure boot, but that does not gives legacy support to the make the system boot to usb.
i had probably done the same things you tried, no matter what setting is done to the bios, there is always only 'os boot manager' and 'ueif' when i hit boot sequence (f9).
had tired everything that i can think of, talking to HP was like talking to an answering machine, and they were asking the most bacis questions ... "were you able to select 'legacy boot' from the bios menu?" ... even when i tell them there isnt a legacy boot option in the bios ... they were too amature .
i concluded that the only way to boot to usb is to do it in uefi with secure boot off and encryption turn off in win 8.1 (else it will bring u to bitlocker).
but i am still unable to boot into the usb media to install win 8.1 pro today. i gave up.

My iPod Shuffle is not charging from USB

Hi,
My iPod Shuffle is perfectly operationnal when connected to my laptop thru a USB port. I can see it with iTunes et it syncs perfectly. The only problem, it does not charge. I see the yellow light flashing for a few seconds, while it syncs and then nothing.
I run Windows 8.1 on an ASUS laptop. I have disabled the USB suspension. Driver is not authorized to turn off the port to save energy.
When I connect my iPod Shuffle to a desktop computer (running Windows Vista), everything is fine.
Any clue?
Thx

I don't know where "fix" this will be (Microsoft, Asus, or Apple), but this may be what's going on...
When an iPod is NOT set to Enable disk use (or Manually manage music), iTunes only mounts the iPod's disk when syncing. The rest of the time, the iPod's disk is not mounted. There may be a "feature" on your laptop, and/or in Windows 8, that attempts to save energy by putting the USB port into a low-power mode, when the connected storage device (the iPod in this case) is not mounted. When iTunes unmounts the iPod's disk after syncing, it may look like an external storage device that no longer needs full power, even though an iPod needs full power to charge its battery.
When an iPod IS set to Enable disk use (or Manually manage music), iTunes keeps the iPod's disk mounted continuously. Therefore, the USB port stays at full-power mode and the iPod's battery is able to charge.
I know you said
I have disabled the USB suspension. Driver is not authorized to turn off the port to save energy.
but maybe that setting is not working properly (as it relates to iTunes/iPod), and that's the cause.
A desktop computer does not run on battery power, so it may not have this feature; saving energy is not a high priority when the power source is the wall outlet, not a battery. Or, Windows Vista may not have this feature. Therefore, the USB port gets full power whether the connected storage device is mounted or not.
One additional test you can try is to see if it makes a difference if the laptop's power adapter is connected or disconnected. When the power adapter is connected, the laptop has "unlimited" access to energy from the wall outlet (like the desktop), so maybe the USB ports stay at full power all the time.
