My nano will play but not with a usb cord

it had been playing fine in my car hooked with the 12 pin to usb cord and on my home receiver the same way until just now. but it will work fine with the same cord when hooked to the computer, can put new music on it or take off music. will also work fine when plugged in straight to the 12 pin port.

Here's a thought, when you connect the USB cable, do you get a USB icon onthe notifictions bar? if so open he bar and tap the icon, it should have several different opeions to pick from, such as PC Only, Windows Media sync, charge only, etc. Try a different one, or all of them andf see what happens.
Sorry, Guess I have got to point that I figure this as a instincted situation but this could be the issue that I was overlooking... May want to try this first.

Shuffle will play but not charge. Help please!!!

My shuffle will play songs but when I try t plug into my computer it will not charge. My computer won't even recognize it. It only has a little bit of charge left. Does anyone know what is going on with it? Is it dying?
Thanks

Well, now I'm starting to worry. I'm coming up on the 13-month mark myself.
You might indeed be correct about your 'mechanicals' evaluation, but there's no way short of disassembly, inspection and testing to determine that. Someone, sometime is just going to have to take that on.
The disassembly part looks dead easy and it should be simple to at least check for continuity from the plug down to the end of the ribbon connector. Maybe I'll buy another 'dead' one off of eBay and look into it (the first 'dead' one I tried turned out to be very much 'Alive On Arrival', no very big surprise, and is now camped in a daughter's eMac).
If you're still doing last-gasp things on your Shuffle, in the meantime, I'd be trying the following in your place:
a) Plug it into a valid charging port/dock/etc. for an extended period of time, a couple or three hours at least. You might see it mysteriously mount; this will be welcome but won't provide any real answers. If nothing else, this will allow the battery to charge if it's going to at all, albeit with no indications.
b) Log out to a Restart, then open a new/go to a different User Account with Admin privileges.
c) With iTunes off and iPS not plugged in, locate and open your lastest iPod Updater. I use 2005-11-17.
d) When it says to plug in the iPod, turn the Shuffle ON and then plug it in. Now wait for it to mount on the Desktop and to be identified in the Updater. Be patient, give it some time; I'd probably let it soak for 10-15 minutes or so.
e) If no mounting, then — with it still plugged in, if at all possible, one place where the Dock shines — manipulate the controls. Triple-click the Play/Pause, then turn the Power to OFF for 5 seconds or so, then back on. (Note: Apple instructions only call for a Reset, i.e., PWR OFF for 5 secs., but some anecdotals seem to indicate the Playlist Reset also seems to help).
f) If you have to unplug to manipulate, then do that and plug it back in
g) This might kickstart it into mounting. If so, fine. If not, unplug and turn OFF the iPS, close the Updater, then repeat from (c) above.
h) I'd give it three times through the sequence, which seems like a fair enough shot at working.

I purchased an itune. It has me Authorize and I do and it keeps coming back saying Authorize again. My other tunes will play but not that one? Help from anyone would be great.

I purchased a song from i tune. I try to play the song but am asked to AUTHORIZE, I do that and it comes up saying to AUTHORIZE again and again. Have you any ideas out there. Thanks.

Thanks very much I have contacted them via this. Just hope they respond quickly- rather annoing! Greatly appreciated though

I have purchased new ipad yesterday; it gets charged with adaptar but not with the usb?

What should i do?

It would appear that the USB port on your computer does not put out sufficient current to charge the iPad, or only will charge it very slowly. This is not uncommon particularly with laptop computers. Unless you can add a card to your computer that has USB ports that put out more current, obviously only possible with a desktop system, you will have to use your AC adapter to charge your iPad.
Regards.

My iPhone will ring but not play music. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

My iPhone will ring but not play music. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. See if fixed. If not, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple. If no coverage, clean again with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol.

Hp Officejet Pro 8500 will print but not anything with black ink. It keeps aligning itself.

My Hp Officejet Pro 8500 will print but not anything with black ink - i have checked the black ink cartridge and it is full. Whenever i print anything in colour (only option) the printer goes into an alignment/maintenace loop that lasts for a long time and does not fix the problem. What should I do?

Clean your printerhesd 4-5 times until the black fully restores. I am on my third complete cleaning and have gone from 0% black to approx. 60-70%. So, it works just takes time.

My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). How do I fix it?

My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). I have tried unplugging the devices, restarting the computer, selectively unplugging and plugging in the devices, closing and opening the relevant applications (iTunes, iPhoto, etc). I have tried using different USB cables.
It's like all of a sudden the synching service stopped functioning or recognizing these devices for some reason. The other ports work just fine (monitor).
The only USB-connected external device that appears to be unaffected is the USB SuperDrive and it works on all the USB ports into which I plug it.
How do I fix this?

Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens or doesn't happen.

Hp photosmart c4480 using with mac OS X 10.9.4 will scan but not save or send

hp photosmart c4480 using with mac OS X 10.9.4 will scan but not save or send. says: could not be written to check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read only.

Hello @JoScan , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing scan issues. I would like to help.
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend readding the OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Up next doesn't seem to work properly with multiple speakers over airplay. The status bar on the computer shows the song playing, but not over airplay. When I restart the song it plays, but the same thing happens when the next song cues up. Any ideas?

For the iPod nano 1st gen replacement program what generation of iPod nano will it be replaced with?

For the iPod nano 1st gen replacement program what generation of iPod nano will it be replaced with?

8GB. Nice little unit when used by itself. BUT don't even think about connecting to any docks or other third party interfaces 'cause IT AIN"T GONNA WORK RIGHT!
Both of my Pioneer car stereos have the same problem with both of my 6th generation iPod Nanos:
The first time you connect the iPod, the radio recognizes the it and works. BUT THE NEXT TIME YOU TURN THE RADIO ON THE DISPLAY FREEZES. The only way to get it working is to disconnect the dock connector from the iPod and reconnect it. THIS ***** AND IS NOT THE WAY THESE UNITS BEHAVED WITH MY 1ST GENERATION NANO. Both of my new 6th generation ipods have been restored (several times) and have the latest firmware which, as of this writing is 1.2 and still the problem persists.
My two Pioneer car stereos that don't work right with the iPod Nano 6th generation:
Pioneer DEH-P4900iB
CD-i200 iPod cable for above
Scion XB iPod enabled head unit T1808
I've made an AppleCare adviser aware of the problem but I doubt that this information will ever make it to engineering so I don't have much hope that this will ever be fixed.
I would suggest that all 6th generation Nano users check it's compatibility with any third party interfaces they have and report their findings on this discussion board. Perhaps we can get Apple to FIX THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM.
Apple are you listening??

Is it possible to Authorize to play, but not to purchase?

I have a shared computers in some of the labs and don't mind folks listening to my purchased iTunes music, but don't want random elements to be able to purchase things from iTunes with my account name and password (and stored credit card number!!!). Is it possible to authorize playing, but not purchase? different passwords maybe?
several Windows XP Mac and PC

Just log off from your iTMS account after purchasing - that will leave your computer authorized for playing, but for purchases there is the need to enter your ID + PW.

Are you using the original cable that came with Nano and not your iPhone's cable? Have you worked through the troubleshooting in this Apple support document?

Why does the FP 10 work with firefox but not with IE8

I down loaded the folowing for xp FP uninstall, FP plugin and FP debug from the link in one of your replys. now I can watch youtube with firefox but not with IE8. you asked me before if i was using 16 bit. whats that mean and how do I find out? please help I just want to watch youtube on IE!

Ok Shag, since you hadn't been on a Forum before, then I'll take some of what I said back:-) I wanted you to stay on one thread, you can get in trouble trying things that may cause you more problems than you had in the beginning. I just had your best interest at heart
I'll even overlook your all caps here:-) At least you responded
Now since you say you fixed it, what you should do is to confirm it is fixed by taking a look at your Flash folder. This contains all of the Flash files for IE and FF. Then make sure you have the IE add on and the FF add on. That way if you have any future problems, at least you would know it is not the Flash Player.
You should only have 2 .exe files for IE and 1 for FF.
For Video editing, I would check Microsoft and see what they have. Perhaps someone else will come along with other info for you.
No, I don't get paid here, since I am not an employee. Just a user helping others, since I had a problem at one time and after 4 hours of researching solved it.
Let me know if you want to check the Flash files.
Thanks,
eidnolb
