Ipod touch usb cable faulty

Just got an iPod touch 64 gig.  Cable worked for a few hours now I get message:
Becaue a usb device was drawing too much power from my computer one or more of my USB devices have been disabled. Get this on my iMac 27 inch and 15 inch mac book pro.  Anyone have a solution?  Seems cable may be defective.

Yes, it seems like a defective cable. Other uses have reported the same problem with the cable that came with their new 5G iPod. Go to an Apple store or call Apple for a replacement.

  • My ipod touch USB cable is jammed in my laptop. I can't get it out. HELP!

    I was charging my ipod, everything was working perfect. Then I accidentally dropped my laptop, and I guess a part of the bigger white section got jammed in there. Now I can't take it out. It won't budge at all! Is there a way to get it out, hopefully without damaging the cord too? :/

    I would take it to a place that repairs laptops.  I would not be concerned about the cable but instead be concerned about the laptop.

  • 3G iPod Touch "USB device not recognized" on any PC

    My 3G been working fine for 1+ yr. Running iTunes 10 on a WinXP system; latest OS (4.2.1?) everything was up to date and working fine. One day I get "USB device not recognized" when I hook it to the PC. Also, when connected to a charger, I don't get the battery screen. It charges either way, but slowly.
    I visited the local Apple store & the guru checked it on her system, with same results. I just reset it, hoping for a miracle, but it still isn't recognized.
    Help?

    Hi Che-Che. I'm having what looks like the same problem. Cannot get this iPod Touch 4th Gen to be recognized on any computer. When I use the white Apple cord that came with it, absolutely nothing happens. Not a sign of being recognized or not being recognized. I brought a third party cable made by Scohche and it is made for iPod, but at least the computer acts like it is starting to load the USB driver, then it fails. The other cable you are talking about, was it an Apple cable? I'm leaning towards it being a faulty Apple cable.

  • Ipod touch USB doesn't fit

    I just got a new 32 GB ipod touch but the ipod side of the wire doesn't fit. I'm not really sure why this would be happening and does anyone have any ideas?

    Are you saying that for the supplied 30-pin one end USB other end cable, the 30-pin cable end does not correctly fit into the iPod? Make sure the writing on the 30-pin end is o the same side of the display. Also, look at the receptacle in the ipod for bent pins or foreign mater and that the cable end looks OK too. If it still does not connect correctly I would make an appointment at the Genius bar of your local Apple Store or call Apple.

  • Ipod touch usb

    can i connect the ipod touch to a USB and download the old way instead of wirelessly?

    Hey!
    Yep!
    WiFi can also be 'disabled' as a preference(it consumes battery when it's enabled and not used apparently!)
    You still use the supplied USB cable for Mac/PC connectivity just as before.iTunes Wifi store is a pretty cool feature though!
    Cheers,

  • Computer reboots when connecting ipod to USB cable.

    Has this happened to anyone else?
    All of a sudden now, whenever I connect my ipod to the USB cable, it makes my computer reboot! And it doesn't stop rebooting until I disconnect the ipod!
    I have no idea why this is happening, and I don't know how to make it stop.
    I am really starting to lose my faith in EVERY item that Apple has created.

    When I connect my ipod to USB immediately following taking it off my AC adapter, it causes my computer (PC, XP) to restart.
    Reinstall Windows. This has nothing to do with iTunes or any other Apple software, because that functionality is entirely Windows based.
    If reinstalling windows fresh (and doing all the updates) doesn't fix it, then you have a hardware problem on the PC.

  • Ipod touch usb to firewire

    I know that Apple requires a usb 2 connection between computer and an ipod touch and that firewire is no longer an output on an ipod But can anyone tell me please
    1. if I bought an ipod touch could I successfully sync it via usb 1 and an 800mhz imac?
    2. if only usb 2 connection works could I use a usb 2 to firewire adapter to make the connection and to synch the touch and my computer?
    I assume that in either case I would need the dock and a mains power source?
    Thanks

    Thank you, but I already said that so why are you telling me. And I would disagree with you about not being able to sync a Touch with 1.1, I have seen it done, it is slow, it is prone to timeout if you try to sync to much, such as an update.
    Could you advise me of the "greater" standard than 2.0? Don't believe 3.0 is available yet. And they aren't "languages".
    But other than that we agree.

  • What can i do if my ipod shuffle usb cable snapped and i cant find a new one?

    i had this ipod for like 1/2 a year and i need a cable to charge it, im a musician and i need it to listen and play. plz help i need this =>

    If that's a 2nd gen shuffle, which is the one shown in the image, the linked USB cable from the Apple Store is the wrong one.  That cable is only for the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle, as noted under Compatibility in the description.  The 2nd gen shuffle has a different connector.
    This is the replacement for the 2nd gen shuffle
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA694G/A/apple-ipod-shuffle-dock
    It is a bit costly, especially compared to a brand new 4th gen shuffle for $49.  There are third-party replacements that cost less at other online stores.  They should work, but make sure the item is described as being for the 2nd gen shuffle, not 3rd/4th gen.

  • Using an iPod Classic USB cable on an iPhone 4S

    Can you use an iPod classic (1st generation) USB (1.0) cable to charge the iPhone 4S? Is there any effects in doing this? I wanted to use this as an extra charger for my USB car charger.

    I don't know... Just use the USB cable the nano comes with.

  • IPod Classic USB Cable for iPhone charger?

    Can I use the USB cable of my iPod classic or any iPods to charge my iPhone?

    Your current car charger for the original iPhone will never work with the iPhone 3G because the firewire pins were removed from the iPhone 3G dock port at the bottom.
    I'm looking for an FM transmitter/charger for my iPhone 3G but it looks like it'll be a few more weeks before new compatible products are released.

  • Ipod Touch USB Problem

    My Daughter's iPod Touch 4G isn't recognised by the computer. If I plug my son's 3G touch in instead, it works fine. I'm using the same cable, just swapping over the iPods. What could be the problem?

    I forgot to mention - The 4G (the unrecognised one) does start to charge when it is connected to the PC. Also, it is currently fully (or close to fully) charged.

  • IPod Touch Sync Cable

    i got an iPod Touch 4th Gen 64GB March 2 2011, so it's been less than a month that i've had it, it works fine, but the Sync Cable, is comping apart at the plug that plugs into my iPod, it's been less than a year, so i assume that my warranty covers the sync cable as well,
    what do i do?

  • IPod Video - USB Cable connector area is broken

    It appears that our USB cable got dented, and then when we went to plug it into the iPod that it damaged the port where you plug in the USB cable. We sent the iPod in to Apple (it's under warranty) and they simply sent it back to us in the same shape. They didn't even tell us "it will cost you $x if you want us to fix it". They want us to buy a new one. Which makes little sense.
    I'm looking at online repair tutorials but I don't see any tutorial for the USB cable port. No manual shows that section of the iPod. Am I right in thinking that this port is an integral part of the motherboard, so what I am doing is replacing the $99 motherboard of the unit? I realize once I do that it's out of warranty, but heck, it's broken right now and Apple isn't even offering to fix it for a fee ... they want us to go buy a brand new one.
    This is a fourth generation video iPod

    I think the topic starter means iPod 3G not the second generation iPhone 3G.
    But sorry, I don't know. I never used the new USB-cable for the iPod 3G, I always used Firewire.

  • Ipod touch USB for nano

    Can the Ipod touch (most recent version) USB cord be used to charge a 6th gen. Ipod nano? If I have to buy one seperately, I guess I will, but I'd rather not.

    It should, yes.  Have you tried it?
