My iTouch says USB Not Recognized?

I plug my 2gen iPod Touch into my comptuer and almost immediatly it says USB Not Recognized. But, when I plug it in with the newest cords it shows up just fine. Is my cord out of date? Is the one with the button release. I don't see how a cord would affect it showing up on the computer.. But it does. HELP!

I had success with the holding down the keys and connecting to usb and using itunes to restore firmware like they show here

  • IPhone is not appearing in iTunes 12, USB not recognized by Windows 8.1

    S.O.S
    My iPhone 5s is not appearing in iTunes 12.
    Windows 8.1 says "USB Not Recognized".
    iPhone not appearing in iTunes 12 on iMac and MacBook Pro as well
    iPhone can charge with no problem.
    Try different cables and same problem nothing changed.
    I had tried;
    Reset and Restart iPhone.
    Cleaned the charging input.
    Tried in 3 different computers.
    I can't perform the method like uninstall/reinstall the USB driver on my Windows because in my Windows the USB showed unrecognized instead of "Apple USB/iPhone USB" on Device Manager.

    Hi Since ios 7 almost everything can be dropped over your WiFi When you charge your phone if Automatically backs up to iCloud If you have problems backup to iCloud over your WiFi Then Restore iPhone back to Factory Settings Use same Apple ID Then you will get all your apps & data back. We have 2 iPhones & 3ipads & have not used a pc for over a year with them. Cheers Brian

  • Have reinstalled ITunes correctly-after USB not recognized for new Shuffle

    New Shuffle- 1st time it says USB not recognized- Apple sends me info to uninstall and re-install I-Tunes- I-Phone is still seen- try Shuffle- first message says USB port recognized- next one says something about hardware not being installed properly. Try again and am back to the original problem- USB not recognized. Of course Apple Support is now closed- any ideas?

    DId you uninstall iTunes and all it's components? Or just the iTunes program?  Apple Mobile Device would be the main cause more than likely. So it is important whether you uninstalled all the programs or just iTunes. If so what I would try next is putting the device into recovery mode and seeing if it detects it like that.

  • HT1923 USB not recognized! HELP URGENT

    Heyy Everyone!
    I really need help!! Okay so this is the case I connected my iPod touch to the laptop Sony Vaio, and this is the first time it ever happened it says USB not recognized, doesnt open itunes or anything, yes I searched and searched did everything nothing worked please if you know how to fix this.. I tried it on couple more laptops/computers still the same any idea what could caused the problem, i used it like couple of times and left it for a month-ish oh and its 22,321,272 minutes locked and I really want to restore but really cant desprately need help

    ok, Im sorry to update this thread again but I fixed one issue and made another...
    So on another thread I read that sometimes the issue is fixed from shutting down the computer and actually unplugging it from the wall. I did that and at restart it worked! It prompted me to restore my settings and it went through and works fine now. HOWEVER... my apps are gone! I did a backup on itunes today that it loaded, but the apps are not there.... what happened?? Please tell me they are not lost.....

  • My iphone 4 is not charging and when I connect it on the pc it says device not recognized!!pls help!!

    Hello guys!!Pls help me if someone knows what should I do.my iphone was working perfectly so far but a couple of days ago it stopped charging.its not charging neither with the a/c adaptre nor with the usb through my pc.it says device not recognized..today I had my iphone switched off and tried to see if it was charging and actually it was!but it didnt show that it was actually charging(the battery icon with the bolt didnt appear..but after 3 hours it was fully charged..but this happens only when its awitched off..so i cant connect on itunes and i cant charge it while its turned on!!if someone knows pls help!!!!!!!!!!tnx a lot guys!!!

    I actually had the same problem here you just have to change the cable, i dont know exactly why but i think its because when you have your phone swithced of then it doesnt need more electricity so if a little pass then you can charge it for a while and then the iphone will automaticly open again,, so just go an buy a new cable nothing to scared of

    yeah tried all that. the only thing that i havent tried is to delete itunes completely and restart. its the same with the ipad. i havent done a master reset. i just think it has to be something rather simple as it acknowledges that i have plugged in the ipad as it makes the noise it just come up usb not recognized. it shows up as an unknown device that doestn have  any drivers
    its driving me round the bend at the minute

  • My Ipod Touch when I try to connect to ANY computer with ANY USB cable I get "USB Not Recognized" Other Ipod devices work with ALL computers and ALL USB cables PLEASE HELP!!!

    I am using an IPod Touch 3. I get the error message USB Not Recognized. Now I have tried three different USB Cables and three different computers...... Same error message. My daughters IPod Touch 4 works perfectly with all of those USB Cables and computers, so this is not a USB problem or a computer problem. It must be something with my IPod Touch 3. Every article I go to wants me to look at stuff on the computer but how could that make sense if other IPod Devices work fine? Please. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

    You need to provide more information about your network. What frequency does it use (2.4ghz or 5.0ghz), which wireless protocol (a, b, g, b/g compatibility, n), and what security are you using (WEP, WPA2, etc.)?
    Please also provide more information about your iPod Touch. Which model is it, and which version of the iOS are you running on it?

  • I need to install a program and a message that says "image not recognized" appears

    I am working in the asctimetables software and I need the new version but when installing it a message that says "image not recognized" appears. What can I do?

    I found this on the asctimetables download page:
    The problem is that although the Apple icon is shown (red oval in lower right), the system requirements shown (red rectangle in lower left) show Windows machines only.  Further, the download is a .exe file that only runs on Windows.  So I suggest you contact asctables' help folks to see whether they really do have an OS X version available.
