  • Ipod won't connect to the computer at all.

    My 3rd Generation iPod nano won't connect to the computer at all. Therefore it has no battery for me too be able to reset or try to do anything with it.
    I've only been advised to make sure that i have the most recent version of iTunes?
    Could anyone help please?
    Thanks, Hollie.

    Try uninstalling the drivers,
    Plug in your iPod
    Right click on My Computer and click on Manage
    that will bring you to the Computer Management
    On the left hand side click on device manager
    on the right side click on the plus sign next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    it will show a list, in that list locate iPod or USB mass storage device
    right click and select uninstall
    Unplug your iPod and plug it back in
    Windows should automatically start installing them again
    if nothing pops up then right click on Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    and choose scan for hardware changes
    If that doesn't work
    Go back into Computer Management
    Click on Disk Management on the right
    and on the left it should say your iPod
    Right click and go into change drive letter and paths
    click on the change button
    Change it to something like N or M
    Click ok, you will get a message saying "changing the drive letter may cause the program to no longer run are you sure you want to change this drive letter"
    click ok
    then restart your computer

  • My iPod nano won't connect to any computer!!

    It worked for a while on my computer, got my bunch of songs on it. Then it stopped connecting into iTunes and then stopped connecting into the computer all together. It won't even light up when I plug it in. I can still listen to my songs on it, I just can't charge the battery or get new songs. I tried using all the different USB ports, and restarted my computer about 50 times. (I'm using windows) I also reinstalled iTunes and the iPod but it's still not working! I also took it to a friend's and tried plugging it into their computer with my iPod cord and their iPod cord and it still wasn't connecting!
    I desperately need help please!

    I am having a similar problem. I am actuall on my third 2nd generation nano. One I had to return do to that issue. I recieved the second one (product red) and I was able to get 600 songs on it froma friends computer. It connected to mine once but won't anylonger. The third one I was having the same issue with it but somehow got it to work. I updated itunes and ran a virus scan. I wish I could help but I'm starting to think about stomping on them. I have 4, three work and one dosen't.

  • 8520 won't connect to the computer

    when i plug the USB into the computer the phone starts charging so it obviously recognises it's plugged in but nothing happens on the computer! and when i click on my computer it says removable device but then says insert a device when you double click that. my friend Tom has the same phone and he used my USB to plug his in and when we went on my computer his phone was there so its not the USB. I just really don't understand! 
    Solved!

    Did you install, to that PC, the required BB software? See this helpful article:

    While the post is dated, simply substitute the proper commands for each step to match with your OS level. Also, the article is written for an older DTM version...you can (and should) use the most current.
    Good luck!

  • Nano won't connect to any computer with any USB cable

    Doesn't matter which computer or USB cable I try, I get the same message 2 seconds after I connect it to a PC. I get the following message after connecting:
    USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED
    One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Wondows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
    But the only solution is says to do is disconnect it and retry again! Where the same thing happens over and over again. Help, please.

    "Note: On recent iPod models, when the battery is completely empty, your computer may not recognize your iPod for up to 30 minutes even though it's connected and charging." (Taken from THIS article) so that may (or may not) be the situation with yours. I know you said that it's not charging at all but it may take awhile for it to actually start charging since it was completely drained.
    Also,this link: iPod's battery doesn't charge may help.

  • What I can I do when my iPod (4th gen) will only charge when it's completely dead? It will charge up untill it turns on, then it stops charging, and the battery life then will only last for about 5 minutes. It won't connect to the computer either. Help?

    HELP ME PLEASE !

    Have you tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    However, ou may have a hardware problem like a dead battery and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store may be in order.

  • New ipod nano won't sync music from computer computer sees its there but music doesn't show up on the actual nano itself

    Got my son an Ipod Nano for Christmas.  We have got the tunes onto the computer via itunes card - the cost has come off, the tunes are on the computer, but we cannot get the music to go onto the nano.  When connected to the computer, under "my computer" the ipod appears, and when I click on that it shows the tunes are supposedly there, but when we go onto the actual Nano, it says there is no music!! Can anyone help??

    Make sure before you sync that "sync music" is selected in music upper selection. This is not selected by default. Cheers!

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen won't connect to my computer, charge or connect to iTunes.

    Okay, here is the issue. My computer runs Windows Vista. Ever since I have updated iTunes to 11.0.2, my iPod touch hasn't been able to connect to the computer at all. I don't know if there is any correlation between the update and my issue, but I need someone to be the judge of that. Apple has suggested that you uninstall iTunes, QuickTime, etc. restart the computer and then reinstall them. So I have done that multiple times, and my iPod still won't connect to the computer. My sister's iPod touch, 4th gen just like mine won't connect to iTunes or the computer either. I have spent a lot of time looking up possible solutions, but none of them work at all. I've done everything Apple suggests in troubleshooting and such, but nothing works. I was hoping someone else might be able to give me a solution. One that hopefully does not involve uninstalling and reinstalling Apples programs, which I have done several times.
    I have tried all accessable USB ports on my computer, and I have switched between the four different USB cords that we have, so this isn't the issue. My PS Vita will connect to the computer with no issue at all, so it isn't the USB ports either. I can plug my iPod Touch into my PS3 and it will charge the instant I plug either end of the cable in, the same for my sister's. I can plug it into the dock on my mother's alarm clock and it will charge just fine. I'm open to any suggestion, so please help me out here.

    So you tried everything here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Try connecting to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

  • I have just bought an ipod classic, I already have an ipod nano.  The new ipod was connected to the computer to charge and it named itself with my name on the old nano, how do I get the computer to recognise the new one

    I have just bought an ipod classic, I already have an ipod nano.  The new ipod was connected to the computer to charge and it named itself with my name on the old nano, how do I get the computer to recognise the new one?

    My mistake, it was nothing to do with format.  It woldn't sync because my movies were HD.  HD movies won't sync to an iopd classic 160 GB but when you purchase a HD movie, itunes gives you a SD vervsion of the movie which is compatible with the ipod.  Just needed to go to store, click movies, click purchased and untick the HD box and there you have the SD versions.  Download the SD versions and then sync your ipod and bobs you uncle, movies are on the ipod

  • We use an Airport Extreme in my office, which works fine for me. Occasionally we need to have more than one computer running on it, but for some reason it won't connect to the internet. It says we have internet, but won't connect to wifi. What's going on?

    I use my computer everyday in our office and have no issue connecting to the internet/wifi, but when my boss comes in and tries to connect it doesn't work. It tells her she has internet, but won't connect to the wifi. We've tried a few different tactics(the basic ones I've seen on here), but nothing seems to be working for us. My computer automatically connects to our wifi.
    Just recently the Airport Extreme has started with the blinking amber colored light on the front, which I believe means something is wrong? Can anyone help us figure out what's going on and why we can't get my boss' computer to connect as it should?
    Thank you!

    Here's an update:
    Now the light is not blinking. It's a solid, consistant green. I don't know if it helps to narrow it down or anything, but I just figured I'd mention it.
