Nano & 20 Gig Don't Work in USB

Hi all,
So I am the proud owner of a new iPod nano that won't sync up with my PC when plugged in via USB. I also tried this with my 20 gig iPod and get similar results.
I first used the nano with my work PC, and everything went fine. When I came home and plugged it into my Dell, iTunes didn't recognize it, but Windows did as a flash disk. I decided to do a restore of the unit using the latest updater.
When I clicked restore, the updater reported back with an error saying 'firmware update failure. Disk write error.' and my ipod develops the infamous folder of death.
The only way to fix the issue is to plug it into my Powerbook where the device behaves and acts normally. The iPod gets restored and responds to iTunes as it should, but is still unrecognizable on the PC side.
I've done everything as described on the support site to try and fix this problem. I've uninstalled itunes, reinstalled it, etc. I changed the iPod's drive letter, uninstalled the USB drivers Windows reports for the device, and even tried using different USB ports on the PC. Nothing.
On occaision I can get the updater to properly restore the Nano, however it still is not recognized under iTunes...
My last resort is to completely reinstall Windows on a fresh hard drive and start anew. I'd like to avoid this if possible, but it appears as though this is about my only option.
Has anyone experienced similar issues? If so, how were they resolved?

An update, and a good one at that!
I finally got everything working, and iTunes 5.01 made the difference. After the upgrade the 20 gig iPod showed up without a problem via USB, and the Nano as well.
However, the Nano does not like the USB 2.0 hub built into my Dell flat panel. Prior to the 5.01 upgrade the iPod didn't like any USB port attached to my computer (including the ones in the back) but after upgrading it's a much happier story.
I've noticed a number of USB devices don't like these Dell flat panels, and the iPod apparently was no exception. The iPod mounted in iTunes but would not accept any songs. Plugging it directly into the PC solved the issue.
So if you are having USB troubles, upgrade to 5.01. They've apparently fixed a few bugs that were causing us grief.

Toshiba 46TL938G Subtitles DLNA servers don't work, but USB does

If I play something with subtitles from DLNA it does not work. But if I copy that exact same movie and .srt file to a USB stick and put it in the 46TL938G, it does work.
Anyway to make subtitles from DLNA?
P.S. Anyway to update this ridiculously outdated media player / usb player interface that Toshiba uses?
It looks more outdated than my 2002 Samsun TV!

Hi,
I'm trying to watch .avi and .mkv files on my TL963 TV from my PC which holds the files.
I've given up on the subtitles as the TL963 does not support my language at all.
I've set up an XBCM server on my PC for DLNA communication.
I see on the TV all the files I've "shared" with the TV, but most of them yield a "Media Player Decoding Error", while having them copied into a USB device and then playing it on the TV works fine.
Is there a way to update the TV's decoder files, or is there a "preferred" DLNA server which works best with Toshiba TVs?
Thanks,
taduri.

3g Nano+Playlist Folders don't work

Hey Everyone,
Just saw another problem with my 3g Nano+Nike sport kit. If you have a folder of playlist (EG: 'Workouts'), when you go to select a playlist for your workout, it only displays the folder as one huge playlist. If you select the folder it simply starts playing music, instead allowing you to choose a playlist within that folder.
Anyone else experienced this?

I noticed the same thing this evening. I have my playlists, but then when I select one playlist, the songs that should be in the playlist are not there. Instead I get songs from a different playlist entirely with no rhyme or reason. It's VERY annoying!

All Songs Don't Work

When I try shuffling my songs or just picking a song on my iPod nano, they all don't work, they keep skipping to the next song when I try to fast forward a song. What should I do, should I bring it to the warranty store or something?

If you're going to tell someone that you can't FF within a song by pressing the >> button, then you're wrong - whatever your reasoning is, if you're going to post incorrect information, you will likely be corrected by another poster.
No hard feelings or offense intended. I'm just trying to help the OP.
Cheers!

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

USB mouse and keyboard don't work on HP Pavilion g7 2203sd, Windows 8.1.

It is not possible to use a USB mouse or keyboard on the HP Pavilion g7 2203sd notebook running Windows 8.1.
A wireless mouse used to work (already some time ago), but now wired or wireless mouse and keyboard don't work any more.
I have tried removing USB devices in the Windows Device Manager and let Windows detect them again, but it does not work.
I read somewhere that it might have to do with the xHCI USB controller that is installed.
I tried removing that and connecting the USB mouse but no succes.
I also looked for driver updates or something to disbale in the BIOS (like xHCI), but nothing found for that.
Can anybody help me with this problem.
Thanks!

After update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.

hello,
after update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.
the used ports appear to be "killed"; the unused USB ports seem to work, but the Mac works in slow-motion.
The only "solution" is to restart my Mac.
- SMC-reset, PRAM-reset or repairing user rights had no positive effect; what is the solution - a bug-fix-update???

I have a mac mini (A1283) with OS 10.7.4. Upon upgrading to 10.7.5 it did not start up again. Instead, the light was on and the hard drive did not start up. The light on the connected USB mouse was not lit.
My solution:
Cold start with Command-v pressed.
This should start Verbose mode (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492 ).
What happened on my mac mini was that the grey startup screen with the Apple logo appeared for a long while before the login screen came.
Maybe Cmd-v set open firmware params and fixed some corruption.
Anyway: my mac mini works again.

USB ports don't work - 880GMS

HELP ME
My usb ports work fine until Sunday, I restart the W8 OS and they don't work (my last activity was configure a router but I didn't install anything). I've two OS (W8 and Ubuntu 11.1) and I tried all and my USB ports don't work. I don't have any idea about the cause of the problem. All work fine except my USB ports. They are enable according to the BIOS but the OS (W8, W7 or Ubuntu) doesn't recognize any device.
I tried this things:
- Change my porwer supply
- Restart the BIOS to the Fail-Safe and Optimal value default
- Clear the CMOS (Changing the jumper and remove the battery)
- Remove the W8 and install W7
- Remove W7 and install Ubuntu 11.04
- Flash the BIOS to the last update (it's the same that was loaded in the BIOS)
Currently, I don't know what I must do it. I'm really disappointed with this board (MSI 880GMS-E35). This is my second problem with these model. Previously, I've one and it didn't supply the energy to start the proccesor (Phenon X4 955). My actual board works fine until Sunday.
Please help me to solve the problem.

OK, I have no idea but fortunately my usb ports work fine now.
I don't know how to fix the problem. But I can assure that thanks to Ubuntu it's fixed. My last two operations were:
- Flash the BIOS
- Check lsusb
Yesterday, I'm full disappointed and I was going to prepare my hard discussion with my provider when suddenly I found a this post:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/69594/my-usb-ports-randomly-stop-working-till-a-reboot
But before to enter the command in the Ubuntu's console, I saw that my USB devices work. It's amazing!!! I'm a newer electronic engineer and I saw events similar that this more than once time in my labs (Typical student experiences).
If anyone has the same problem, I could recommend:
- Check BIOS usb options
If these are ok, else enable the propertly options
- Check # lsusb (In Linux)
If your ports don't appear check the PSU (Maybe there are others things that you should check) else
- Check # dmesg | tail (Before and after to connect a usb device)
If there is an error saw in forums, maybe it's the common problem so far (Incompatibility in the kernel -error hci-)
- Type # acpi = force irqpoll
ELSE
- Flash the bios as show in this forum
ACLARATION: I think that this algorithm might help you but I don't prove this. It's your responsible to do that. I only write the items that I learn with this issue.
CONCLUSION: I don't wish that anyone has this problem. I lost one week trying to solve it.

IPod Nano, don't works....

I just bought A FREAKING NEW iPod Nano 2G, and installed iTunes and stuff on Vista RC2, it all worked well & fine, until now. I tryd to start it, but nothing happend.. *** is this??? When i connect the ipod on my windows xp pc, it also don't works, nothing....

The information is too vague. How did it stop working, when did it stop working. Does it turn on? Do you get a blank white screen? Does it not turn on?
Did you accidentally slide the HOLD switch on the top of the Ipod to ON? hehe.

Is there a way to use my iPod Nano to listen to a radio frequency with wireless headphones. It tells me that I have to plug in my headphones to receive the stations and when I do, the wireless headphones don't work!

No. I'm sorry. But, i think it uses the headphones as an antenna so it has to be plugged in to headphones in order to make it work. but, it burns the battery down so i don't use the radio function that much.

I've just got iPod nano and I don't hear a sound. I've changed deferent earphone, but nothing works

Hello Rohantm,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPod nano (7th generation) touch screen. I recommend the following steps for the issue you described (you can skip the steps you have already tried):
Touch screen does not accept input
Clean the screen with a microfiber polishing cloth.
Do not wear gloves while using the touchscreen. Do not use the touchscreen with wet hands or immediately after applying hand lotion. Moisture affects touchscreen behavior in the same manner as it affects a trackpad.
If you have a protective plastic sheet or film on the touchscreen, try removing it, because it may be preventing the touchscreen from working properly.
The current application may be unresponsive; try resetting iPod by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home buttons simultaneously for a least six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Sync with iTunes and restore the iPod.
Issue not resolved
If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.

My iPod Nano buttons don't work...

My iPod Nano buttons don't work even tho my Hold button in off when I switch my Hold button from ON to OFF my iPod shuts off then restarts by itself. My iPod is fully charged. I have updated my iPod to the latest update. I've tried to restart my iPod many times but since the buttons don't work it doesn't happen.

If you've reset and restored and the buttons still don't work, then it needs service. Either take it along to an Apple store, or send it in.

iPod nano's are not waterproof. It's almost certainly dead. Time for a trip to the Apple store to buy a replacement. Try and keep the new one dry!
