Is your iPod not being recognized by iTunes or your computer, or something? (information like that might help)
It doesn't sound like a problem with your USB cord, but probably a problem with your iPod (since the two cords works with your other iPod).
If your iPod is having troubles with iTunes recognizing it, have you tried these five steps?:

IPod nano works with USB 1.1 but not USB 2.0

Anyone using an iPod nano that works with USB 1.1 but not with USB 2.0? I am using Windows XP and when installing the iPod software from CD it recognizes the iPod and am able to transfer songs using iTunes but when installing SP1 or SP2 to enable USB 2.0 transfers, Windows XP only recognizes the iPod nano as a USB Mass Storage Device. This is the same with iPod Updater.

I have a similar problem with the following configuration:
- Dell Dimension 4100 Desktop with 2 integrated USB 1.1 ports, Windows 2000 SP 4
- PCI 6-Ports USB 2.0 Card ("Mentor" resp. www.bona.com.tw), Model USB20-PCI/6P
What works well?
- All my USB add-ons (1.1 and 2.0) on the internal 1.1 ports as well as on the USB2.0 PCI card
- iPod Nano 4GB on internal 1.1 ports (external drive in windows 2000 as well as iPod in iTunes)
- iPod Nano works as well as on the USB 2.0 card ONLY WHEN my old 4-port USB1.1 hub is connected between Nano and USB card
What doesn't works?
My iPod Nano directly connected to the USB 2.0 card. Symptoms when connecting:
- Windows is very slow, process "scvhost.exe" or "system.exe" using 99% of CPU for some minutes
- iPod is recognised as external drive, but when I click on it, it is empty and copying files to it results in "I/O error"
- iTunes doesn't recognise the iPod (of course, if even windows itself cannot read from it...)
I removed all USB drivers, reinstalled iTunes, iPod (by the way, I still don't understand what "iPod update" is good for, except for updating the iPod's firmware), deactivate the internal USB1.1 ports, no result.
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ipod wont work with my usb ready cd player

I just bought an insignia cd player that has a USB port for MP3 players and flash drives - they told me at best buy that it would work - they know for sure from trying that the shuffle and video ipod works but it doesn't seem to work with my nano. I am trying to find out if I am doing something wrong (when I plug it in it recognizes that I have plugged it in and the ipod begins charging and then says do not disconnect like it is updating only it doens't stop saying it and wont let me access anything on it) and I also want to know if maybe there is any kind of adapter that will let me use the nano - best buy said it might be to new since the other kinds work. Does anyobe have any suggestions!?!

In your iPod options there is a check box to "enable disk use". You have to turn that one and then it will appear as a drive on your computer. You have to drag songs to it just like you drag any other type of file to copy them. The problem with this method is that you can't control the playback from the iPod, and it will take double the amountof space because the iPod won't play the songs if they are stored in the disk portion. So you would have to have one copy for iPod and one copy for CD player. But why do you want to do that in the first place? The iPod will already play back all the songs, and with a lot more control than the CD player has.

Ipod wont work with vista?

when i first got my ipod nano i had windows xp then i got a new computer with vista now every time i plug it in it says usb device not recognized so i click on the bubble and it says No drivers are installed for this device. so i go to change settings then i hit up date driver then i click search automatically for updated driver software then it says windows have determinded the dirver software for your device is up to date so i go and plug my ipod in again and is says the same thing!!!!!! my ipod will not show up in itunes or my windows can anyone help me out here this has been going on since march and my ipod hasn't had any new music on it since i got vista!
p.s i have restarted the pc and tried to plug my ipod back in
i have download the latest itunes
i have tried everything nothing will work!!

I figured out the Vista problem I believe that most people are having and believe me I was getting crazy over this until I figured out that Itunes 7.6 only works with the Ipod touch in Vista 64 Bit versions. Sooooo I downloaded version 7.4 and it came up with an error that the itl file was created by a newer version of itunes...so i did a search under dos because i hate vista's file search program..but i wont go into that...for those not familiar with command prompt ...select command prompt ... type cd.. until you get to the c:\ directory then type dir *.itl /a/s/p it will show you where the itl file is located and you can delete it... then install itunes version 7.4 from one of the various sites offering older versions of itunes.. and voila ipod magic... stupid isnt it...kinda crazy i can get my ipod touch to work in Linux and not in Microsoft Vista...

IPod 3g works with usb, not through firewire

Hello everybody.
That's a long time the problem happened, but now it gives me a big trouble because I can't change music on my iPod 3G 10go.
In fact, iPod was recognized through firewire by my iMac G3 until I installed Tiger. But charging is OK. After having installed that great OS, I can interract with iPod only through USB. That's a big problem because there's only USB 1 on iMac G3.
I've restored iPod, reinstalled it, having too repaired my iMac G3 disk with Disk Utility. But it still doesn't work.
So here's a resumee of all things I've done :
-Reinstalled iPod softwae (last version available)
-It does not work with my new iMac Core2duo, so that's not a problem with one of my two computers.
-That shouldn't be a problem with firewire cable because charging is OK.
-That shouldn't be a problem with dock connector because it works fine when I use iPod on Universal Dock with Apple Remote.

Hi Xavier
Yes many people seem to be having this problem since installing the new iTunes 7 and ipod software 2.3, however no one seems to know what is the real cause. My 3G iPod was perfect for years, and since last week I have been unable to connect to my Macbook Pro with firewire. However it is fine with USB.
People keep telling me to restore my ipod to an older software version (older than 2.3), however the 3G ipod is unable to restore using USB, and requests the firewire connection to restore.
Thus, I connected with USB and restored using iTunes on windows (using bootcamp on my MBP). However now my ipod is Windows formatted, and is having problems importing music in OS X.
Just wanted to let you know that others are having this problem, and we are waiting for Apple to issue a response/fix/update.

IPod Touch works with USB 1.0, why not iPad

I just received an iPad as a gift but I have an old 17" iMac with USB 1.0 and it's not syncing with iTunes to setup. My iPod Touch syncs perfectly with 1.0, so why not the iPad? If it won't work, i guess I'll return the iPad and get credit towards a new iMac.

Read the system requirements for the iPad to see if your machines have the correct OS and iTunes version.

Laser Jet M1217nfwMFP wireless and fax stopped working printer works with usb cord

I have an HP computer 64 bit version. The printer suddenly stopped working wireless, fax stopped working weeks ago. Printer does work with a usb cord. Turning it off (removing elec cord) on both computer and printer, didn't help. Nothing changed that was different to cause either problem.

Hi agueda
I see that your Laserjet M1217 wireless and fax stopped working but the usb connection does work.
I would restore the printers defaults to setup the wireless again.
Touch the setup (wrench button) on the printer, select network config, select restore defaults.
Then make sure the wireless radio is turned on.
Touch the setup button (wrench), network configuration, wireless menu, wireless radio-on.
Temporarily connect the usb cable from the printer to the computer and go to start, all programs, hp, laserjet m1217 and select wireless configuration and go through the wizard to reset up the wireless again.
or if your router has a wps button on it then you touch the wps wireless button on the printer and immediately touch the wps button on the router.
Printer should automatically connect to the wireless network.
Run the add printer wizard.
Go to control panel,(win7) devices and printers then click add a printer, next, select network
highlight printer, next, message installing printer.
Should be able to print over wireless again.
Check fax connections.
Then run a fax test.
Touch the setup (wrench button) on the printer, service, run fax test.
You should have 4 passes.
Change these fax settings on the printer.
private receive-wrench/fax setup menu/ok/fax receive setup/ok/private receive/ok/set it to off

IPod wont work with iMac but works in Vista

I have an 80GB iPod Classic that works perfect on my computer running Windows Vista and iTunes 7. I have only ever used it with iTunes.
My iPod's format is FAT32 (Windows). And it's running software Version 1.1.2 and disk use is enabled.
When i try and plug it into an iMac (iMac G5) running OS X 10.3.9 it doesn't work. It doesn't come up as an external drive so I can't access it as an external disk and it fails to work in iTunes.
I have upgraded the Mac to the latest version of iTunes but this still doesn't solve the problem. I tunes gives me the following error "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted...". This is not the case, my iPod is not corrupted.
How can i get my iPod to work on the Mac?

If you buy an iPod, you are Apple's customer whether you use Windows or Mac OS X. Therefore, your statement
nice how they screw their own customers.
makes zero sense.
If Apple products work in Windows for an extended period of time, this is because the most common and popular (by far) version of Windows is getting on 8 years old. And since XP is so prevalent, Apple has to support it, just like any other company that makes products that work with Windows. It is highly unlikely that Windows Vista will ever surpass XP in usage; Apple will no doubt continue to support XP with iTunes and iPods when XP is TEN years old.
For Mac OS X, Apple has been pushing the rate of development much faster. Therefore, Panther is already "old" technology, even if it was released after Windows XP. Panther is PowerPC-only and most active Macs (in the installed base) are now Intel-based, with 3 million new Intel Macs being added to the installed base every quarter. ALL Intel Macs use Tiger or Leopard. Most Power PC Mac users with supported hardware have at least upgraded to Tiger, if not Leopard. Therefore, only a small fraction of Mac users still use Panther day to day. SO... Tiger is obviously a good cutoff point for backward support, just as Windows XP is a good cutoff point on the Windows side. It's just common sense, not Apple trying to "screw customers."
It's not just Apple using this common sense. Many, if not most, third party software and hardware Mac products being released right now require Tiger or Leopard, just like with Apple.
As for your actual problem, I would try Restoring the iPod on the Windows side (assuming you have a copy of all the files on the PC). A Mac should be able to read FAT32 format, both in iTunes (using manual management) and as a hard drive using Finder. If you can get this to work, you can copy the iTunes media files onto the iPod as files (not through iTunes) and then transfer them to the Mac as files. Then load them into the Mac's iTunes library.
Continue using your Windows PC to sync the iPod. On the Mac side, use +manual management+ (do not sync).

My ipod wont work with this other computer

my computer that had my ipod music and information on it crshed so i went to go use my ipod on my moms computer. she also has an ipod but doesnt use it much so i uninstalled itunes the re-insatlled it under my information. but every time i plug it in i cant do anything with it but charge it.
??how do i update music onto my ipod through this computer??

You really didn't need to uninstall then reinstall iTunes to get your iPod to work, nor do you need to install the ipod software again.
What happens when you connect the iPod to iTunes? Is it recognized in the source list? Do you see any messages? Do you have your iPod set to transfer songs manually?

4th Gen iPod only works with usb - freezes with firewire

After a recent iTunes upgrade my my 40 gig Gen 4 iPod started locking up and freezing my G4 and G5 when using firewire to transfer files until I unplugged the iPod.
I found several threads from people with similar problems and tried all the suggestions (with the exception of "dropping" the iPod.)
After a week of troubleshooting, I'm finally successfully transferring files using USB 1 - it also freezes with USB 2.
This is the troubleshooting process I went through to arrive at the above conclusion:
First did the 5Rs.
Deleted and reinstalled iTunes
Followed Mitch's suggestion for using Disk Tools to reformat the iPod (successfully)
Ran some of the internal iPode diagnostic test and they indicate no problem with the drive or USB or firewire.
Ruled out iTunes as the problem because I was having the same problem when I closed iTunes and just copied files directly from the desktop to the iPod. When doing the transfers in the Finder, the Finder would freeze/lock up and I'd have to reboot.
Rules out the computer because the same thing happened with both G4 & G5.
Ruled out something in the user profile because the same thing happened when using my wife's account.
Ruled out the firewire cables because the same thing happened with two different firewire cables.
I've seen several posts from people with similar problems but no solutions. Has anyone cracked this nut? It takes FOREVER to update 40 gig with USB
Dual Processor G4 & G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 40 Gig 4th Gen iPod
Dual Processor G4 & G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

It looks like the answer to my problems was a bad hard drive. Sent it to the ipod doctor and after a $159 repair, I'm back in business http://nycipoddoctor.com/

I pod wont work with usb

I tried to connect my ipod to usb and it says it needs to be formatted? I click format and it says there was an error communicating please disconnect and reconnect? I just keep going round in circles?

slim chance, you need to leave it in a warm place for several days (or longer if possible), don't turn it on, don't charge it. then when you've left it to dry out, try charging it.
it is a VERY slim chance though, don't get your hopes up.

Ipod wont work with app store

My ipod touch 4th gen was just uploaded wiht IOS6. It will not allow me to download apps from the App Store.

Try resetting the iPod...
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Restart your iPod. Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Now try the App or iTunes Store.
If you still need help try here > Can't connect to the iTunes Store
