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?

Try

Did you reinstall itunes, using a new download from the Apple homepage?
Is your ipod showing in the system profiler/ usb highspeed ports?
Did you already reset the ipod by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up?
Did you try to connect in recovery mode? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

used ipod touch, cant reset to DFU,sync or power off.. please help!!

From your description it appears that the iPod is on like it showing something on the screen. In that case let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try a rest restore and other things again.
If the iPod returns to the same conditions then it is time for an appoitment at the Genious Bar of an Apple store.

Deep Fried USB ports.... PLEASE HELP!

Hello everyone...
I was messing around with a 4-Port USB Hub that I got the other day. It's a cheapy that didn't come with an external power adapter, but a port to plug one in. So I found the appropriate size power adapter (from an internet router) and decided to plug the hub into my G4 iBook. As soon as I did so, the computer quit, and I'm assuming that there was a power surge. I restarted after unplugging and removing the battery. Now, one of my USB ports is completely F'd and the other one doesn't seem to have enough power to get my new external HD to mount. (It's not the HD, I just checked it out on my brother's computer). Everything other peripheral device works, including syncing my iPhone, but only on one of the ports. Do I now have to replace my USB ports? (costly?!)
Jan

Edit
What I meant to say was that all of my other peripherals work on the one functioning USB port except the HD. These include an iPhone, iPod, Laser mouse & thumbdrive. And when I plug in the USB Hub, it's LED lights up to indicate that it's working, but nothing plugged into the hub will work. It's like having half of a USB port...
Advice PLEASE!

2nd generation ipod shuffle not recognized by usb 3.0 port, 2nd generation ipod shuffle not recognized by usb 3.0 port

Hi,
My 2nd generation ipod shuffle will not connect to any usb 3.0 port. I've tried on to computers -- one Windows XP and the other Windows 7. Any ideas?

Hi
I had the same issue with my Late 2009 Mac mini running Mavericks and iTunes 12. When I connected my 2nd generation iPod shuffle it would blink amber once then do nothing. This seems to be a common problem with the iPod shuffle and newer versions of Mac OS X (10.6 and up) and iTunes albeit with somewhat varying symptoms but the same overall problem syncing the iPod with iTunes.
The predominant go-to solution is to give the iPod more power by either connecting the iPod directly to a USB port on the Mac or by disconnecting all other USB devices. On paper this makes sense.
What worked for me, however, was the opposite. After trying to solve this problem for hours (weeks, months), I had success ONLY after adding a low-powered 4-port USB hub to the chain between the iPod and the Mac. I suspect this had the effect of throttling the power supplied to the iPod from the Mac. I was able to perform a restore on the iPod then sync my music over.
I can't tell you much about the USB hub except that it is running at USB 1.1 speeds (12 Mb/sec). In theory a USB 1.1 extension cable should also do the trick. You might even be able to use the USB hub in old wired Apple USB keyboard. I will attach a photo of the hub I used to this post for greater clarity.
I really hope this helps.

Ipod touch not recognized

My Ipod touch is not recognized by Itunes or Windows Explorer. I have followed Apple's troublehsooting but it did not solve the problem.
Thanks in advance for any assistance that you can provide.

Thanks for your assistance
I have tried the solution you mentioned.
I uninstalled Itunes and all other Apple software as instructed and then reinstalled the latest version
USB port is working with other devices
Tried a different cable
The ipod charges with the DC charger or other compueter
Ipod is working well
In my opinion, the problem is related to the computer. Hardware is working well

IPod Touch Not Recognized in Windows 8.1 Preview

Hello. I installed Windows 8.1 Preview clean last week, and am now having problems getting my iPod Touch recognized within iTunes.
Normally, there is a button marked On This iPod, which I click, and then load music in that screen. That button is not appearing.
Furthermore, usually my iPod is listed somewhere in Windows Explorer. It is not listed. I've tried hooking the iPod Touch up to each of my USB ports. I also have a 4-port USB 3.0 hub and tried them. The device isn't being recognized.
I understand it's possible there could be conflicts between Windows 8.1 and some software. Windows 8.1 is, of course, still in the beta stages. But I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem, and if there might be a workaround for it.
Thank you! J. Danniel

I uninstalled iTunes, rebooted, and reinstalled. Now, the iPod is being recognized by iTunes. Hopefully, it will remain recognized the next time I reboot Windows. I'd hate to have to uninstall/reinstall each time.
But, I'm using a beta operating system, and knew the ramafications when I installed it. So, whatever happens, happens. Thank you for responding. Jd
