  • IPod and computer not recognizing hookup from USB cable

    I got my ipod in september and havent had any problems. recently, my computer had to go in to be fixed cuz it was overrun by viruses. during that time i used my dads computer to charge up my ipod. he doesn't have itunes, but i charged it anyway. i got my computer back and had to reinstall itunes cuz it wasnt fully functional. now it works fine, but whenever i plug my ipod/usb cable into the computer, it makes two blippy sounds but other than that doesn't register that i plugged it in. my ipod screen lights up, but thats all. i really want to get some new songs onto my ipod. help plz!!!!!!

    I got the same problem with my ipod 3rd gen. before but I was successful to solve it. All you have to do is click on Start and go to control panel --> double click on "system" --> at the top of the "system hardware" window, there are 6 tabs, click on the "Hardware" tab --> click on "Device manager" button in the device manager setting. A new window "Device manager" will appear. Roll the scroll bar down till you see the "Universal Serial Bus Controllers". double click on it. A list of controllers will appear. You would be most likely to see this line "Apple USB storage" with a little yellow triangle symbol infront of it. Double click on it. Go to "driver" tab and click on "rollback driver" button. And tada ... youre done! Now your computer Should recognize your Ipod no matter what.
    Hope this would help you a little bit.

  • TS1538 windows xp not recognizing iphone - apple usb driver not in list

    I have followed all the troubleshooting steps in TS1538.  I have uninstalled everything associated with apple and reinstalled the latest version of itunes at least 10 times.  I have tried and tried and tried to figure out how to get the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver to show up in the device manager list with no luck.  Everything else appears to be as it should according to all the troubleshooting steps with the exception that the USB driver will not show up in the list.  I've tried taking a screenshot and getting the computer to recognize it as a camera without luck.  I've tried using a different apple iphone, and ipad and an ipod with no luck.  I've taken my phone and cable to another computer and it works perfectly.  There is something preventing itunes from installing the usb driver on my computer.  This is my work computer that I need to sync with to keep my contacts and appointments synced.  Please help!!!  I have disabled everything I can including software, antivirus and all peripherals without any luck.  I am running winXP service pack 3 and itunes v. 10.7.0.21.
    This has worked great for the last 2 years and then stopped working about 3 weeks ago and I have been trying to fix it off and on since then.  Any and all help is appreciated.  It started when I was trying to get my sons locked iphone 3G to sync with my computer and it wouldn't show up.  That was the last thing to sync with this computer and nothing has worked since.  I am confident that I've eliminated all the variables that I could. 
    Thank you for you time and effort.

    Maybe a Microsoft Update broke the driver? Or an update to your security software? Have you rebooted your computer? Have you tried disabling your antivirus and firewall? Have you tried removing and reinstalling iTunes?

  • Apple tv is not recognizing my apple id..what can i do?

    I am setting up my Apple TV homesharing. When I put in my apple ID and password it says that it does not exist or the password is wrong. I have been putting in the same username and password that I use on iTunes so I am not sure what else to do.

    yeh me too. Everything seems to be working with my Thomson TG782T modem, it recognises the appletv on the wireless network, I can communicate with my itunes on my computer from the appletv menu system, my itunes library comes up on the appletv menu, but when trying to rent a movie it says that my password is not being recognised. Yet I can buy books from the itunes store using the same password from my ipad. I am at complete loss...my telecommunications company (Telstra) has no idea.
    Do you think these little checks and changes to my password will help?

  • Why is my computer not recognizing my apple id?

    My husband purchased a MacBook Pro last week.  We did the setup at the Apple Store and ever since have had continual problems with the computer recognizing, or in this case NOT recognizing, his Apple ID.  The ID and password have been changed 3 times now.  Is this a computer problem, an iCloud problem, or what?  To be honest, I'm pretty frustrated right now and ready to pitch the whole thing out the window.

    Sometimes, your Apple ID is actually "username" instead of "[email protected]" Try putting the username of your email instead of the actual address, and see if that works?

  • Why is my iPhone not recognized on my USB port?

    When I try to connect my iPhone 3G to my computer absolutley NOTHING happens. No error message no beeping from windows that it detects a connection, and I definitely cannot see it in my iTunes. I have tried restarting the phone, resetting the phone, restarting the computer, restarting the computer with my phone connected, reinstalling iTunes/Quicktime, plugging the cord into different ports on my computer (not my keyboard) and still nothing. I have an external drive with a USB port connection that is recognized when I plug it in the same USB ports. One would think it was the USB cord but the strange thing is I can use the same USB cord plugged into my phone and the adapter in the wall and it charges. I just can't update the software or add songs to my iPhone.
    Anybody know what's going on?

    Ok so I tried creating a new user account with administrative priviledges on the same computer and still nothing. I called apple tech support and spent about an hour on the phone with them and they are baffled as to why this is happening too. Their only suggestion was to replace the phone. So unless someone else has had this same problem and knows hows to fix it, or just knows of something that apple doesn't, I'm screwed!
    Just out of curiosity, I tried connecting my phone to another computer to get the 2.2 update and it worked. So I updated my phone's software and tried plugging it in again and still nothing. Also, I tried connecting someone elses iPhone 3G to my computer with the same USB cord and my computer recognized their phone. So it must just be my phone and my computer don't like each other for some reason!
    Here's the full scenario before the connection issue (just in case someone knows something I don't):
    I was having problems updating my iTunes to version 8.0.2. It wouldn't fully install quicktime and without quicktime you can't run iTunes, in fact, iTunes won't even open. I got an error message that said I needed to repair or reinstall quicktime. So I completely deleted iTunes and quicktime software from my computer and reinstalled the version that is downloadable from apple's website (which is NOT 8.0.2). I got it loaded and alas iTunes finally opened. So I connected my phone and started updating to the 2.2 version of iPhone software. Then a window popped up saying I needed iTunes version 8.0.2. So I started that download as well. Then I walked away to let it download the updates needed for my phone and iTunes. I came back 20 min later and my computer had restarted itself (I'm assuming after the iTunes update it did that) and was at the login screen. So I logged in and my iPhone would then not connect to my computer after that. I unplugged and plugged it back in and I got a beeping noise but not the normal beeping noise a computer makes when you connect the USB cable. It beeped three times in the same lower tone instead of the 2 beep 2 tone you normally get. I realize in hind site that was probably not a good idea but I asked the apple tech I talked to and he said that shouldn't have been a problem even if the 2.2 iPhone update hadn't fully installed and had been interrupted. So there's my full story! Thanks for helping me out!!

  • HT1567 My computer is not recognizing my iPod NanoPod - therefore the 'Devices' is not showing up on the Left side in order to sync Playlists to my Nano Pod?  What can I do about this please?

    Hi
    My computer is not recognizing my iPod NanoPod - and as a result 'The Devices' section is not showing up in order to sync new Playlists to my Nano-Pod.  Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

  • My computer is not recognizing my IPod...how can I help this?  I have an IPod Classic from 2006, I think.

    I have connected my IPod via the USB port, and even my computer is not recognizing the IPod.  How can I help this?  I have just downloaded an audiobook and now I'd like to downloading it to my IPod.

    Uninstall iTunes and all of its components by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, then reinstall iTunes.  This will not trouch your iTunes library or data.

  • My computer is not recognizing my IPod Touch, therefore I can not sync.

    My computer is not recognizing my Ipod touch. I have used all the help tips and tried different usb ports with no change. The only other thing I can think of is that since I lost my cable for the Ipod, I am using the cable for my Iphone. Would this cause the problem? The cables seem to be the exact same, but perhaps I am mistaken.

  • My computer is not recognizing my ipod shuffle.  The computer says to use the ipod reset utility.  When I tried doing this it told me that it was for a 32 bit version which I obviously do not have.  My computer is only a few months old.  What do I do now?

    My computer is not recognizing my ipod shuffle.  The computer says to use the ipod reset utility.  When I did that it came up with another message that it was only good for a 32 bit version.  I guess I do not have a 32 bit version.  I just purchased my computer a few months ago and it uses the windows 7 operating system.  What do I do now?

    Not sure if this helps:-
    The music files, were they bought from your iTunes account or did someone gift them to you after buying from the iTunes account? If they are yours you can download them again if you clear or de-authorise the ipod, it has to be done by whoever gave you the ipod to do this (the registered  owner). If they were bought for you on another itunes account I don't think Apple let you use them as they are copyrighted and they don't belong to you, they belong to the person who bought them. If the music files where ripped from music cd's then click and drag them to a new folder on your desktop and have the person who gave you the ipod to de-authorise and unregister it. Then you re register it and put your files back from your desktop folder in your iTunes folder and synch. Hopefully that would work.  Any files which you did not buy, I would not know how get around this, best bet is to take it to you nearest Apple  Store and explain that they were gifted to you and ask how you can use them.  The best way to gift music files is to buy the gift tokens and give these. Hope above helps.

  • I just bought a mac mini over the weekend. I saved items from my old G4 to an external hard drive. I go to plug in the external hard drive and the new computer is not recognizing it. Help.

    I just bought a mac mini over the weekend. I saved items from my old G4 to an external hard drive. I go to plug in the external hard drive and the new computer is not recognizing it. Help.
    Here is the information I have. The external hard drive is a 120GB Acomdata. It has both USB and Firewire. When I go to plug in to the mac mini through USB, it is not being recognized. When I switch to Firewire on the old computer I can see it, however when I go to USB it is not being recognized (even on the old computer).
    I'm at a loss as to what to do. Any advice would be helpful.

    I have used them on multiple occasions and they work just fine.
    Try this (maybe you already have):
    -Boot Mini with drive disconnected.
    -Do not connect drive but turn it on
    -wait a few seconds for drive to spin up
    -plug cable into the Mini then into drive.
    This is an old drive and may have some timing
    issues.
    I had an Acomdata drive a long time ago.  It
    worked fine with FW but USB was flakey.
