Nano connects and disconnects

Hi
My nano connects ok but after 10 seconds from connecting, it disconnects. I have tried formatting, factory sets and stuff, but no luck. After it disappears from My Computer, it still shows on the itunes, but the songs dont transfer.

order? in other words have you used your USB port for another USB device with no problem before?
maybe ( just a guess your USB port is wonky.
On one of my computers the port on the front doesn't fully work but the ones on the back do work fine.
suggestions:
~ try a different USB port IF you have multiple ports.
~try another USB device ( like an external drive or card reader) IF YOU HAVE ONE on the suspect USB port and see if it works.
~ re-seat your USB cable --(remove it and plug it in firmly)
good luck, BobF

It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.

Windows won't install USB device...infinite loop of connect and disconnect

I've been very happy with my Ipod purchases over the years but this one is the worst problem I have ever had. Purchased an 8gb Ipod Nano 3rd gen for the wife as a Xmas present and went to install it on my PC today but no luck whatsoever. The PNP manager seems to go into an infinite loop of connect and disconnect with the odd "Itunes has found a corrupt player ...." message but the device won't stay on the PC long enough as it promptly disconnects from the PC again!
My other 3 Ipods all connect and work quite happily on this PC, I've tried a few of the other "solutions" that seem to fix other "problems" but as the device does not stay connected for long enough I can't do anything with it!
Has anyone else had this problem and been able to fix it? If so, what did you do to correct the problem?
thanks
Marty

Thanks, tried that and much more - a very frustrating process.
I've just posted this on another thread...
I've tried unplugging everything and it still didn't work (I only have a USB printer, USB 1.1 hub and a USB phone connected). Funnily enough though connecting it to the USB 1.1 hub it works OK - go figure. Connecting directly to a USB 2 connector either on the front or rear panel and my PC goes into the connect/disconnect loop! My 1st and 2nd gen Ipod nano's and my Shuffle all happily connect to the USB 2 connectors on the front panel but the 3rd gen one does not want to know.
I think that Apple have got something seriously wrong here and it would be nice if it was acknowledged and a proper fix applied.

Problems when connecting and disconnecting MBP and TBD

Hello,
I have problems with connecting and disconnecting my macbook pro retina 13" to my thunderbolt display. Everytime I disconnect my MBP form my TBD with the lid closed it takes approximately 10 seconds until my MBP has recognized that the TBD is no longer connected and the MBP screens turns on.
On the other hand I also have a problem when I reconnect my MBP to my TBD. Approximately every second time my MBP does not recognize that the TBD is connected again and neither the MBP nor the TBD turns on. The small light on the power cabel of my TBD does not light up. It is as the TBD would'nt have any power. Pushing buttons on my Apple Bluethooth doesnt help. I have to disconnect and reconnect the thunderbolt and the power connector a coupl of times until the MBP finally recognizes the TBD and turns on. In some cases a different background picture is shown on the TBD than the one I usually have on my MBP.
The problem is very annoying especially because I connect and disconnect both devices and it really costs time.
I really hope there's someone who can help with the problem. Do you think this may be hardware problem of my MBP or TBD?
Thanks in advance for your help.

HI there,
The first thing I would recommend is checking for any new software updates while using the display, this will check for any available firmware updates for the display. If you continue to experience issues, then you may want to take a look at the article below for some further troubleshooting steps.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, I have been unable to sync devices (specifically ipad mini and iphone 4s) to my MId 2013 Imac . They wil rapidly connect and disconnect, and I'm unable to do anything with the device. This happens with both USB ports. Any suggestions?
MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.9.1)

Obviously, syncing an iOS device with iTunes over USB is still supported in Mavericks. Calendar and contact syncing with iTunes is no longer supported. That has nothing to do with your problem.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

My iphone 4s connects and disconnects (repeatedly) when connected to my computer

my iphone 4s connects and disconnects (repeatedly) when connected to my computer, it works perfectly fine when connected to regular chargers, everytime i connect it to my computer it shows the charging symbol and then disconnects and reconnects in less then a second, it will repeat this process forever unless disconnected, sometimes it works perfectly fine and most of the times it does the same thing, I know for a fact its not the wire because i recently bought an ipad mini with retina and its usb is new, it worked with the retina for a day or two and then it kept connecting and disconecting repeatedly, my computer is two months old and i have new hardware in that machine, is it a problem in the usb power fluctuation? i am currently using windows 8.1 and i need solutions, this is super annoying, all my other devices work perfectly fine with the usb ports, all my usbs (2.0 and 3.0) do the connecting and disconnecting sometimes it even works ,what is the problem?

IPhone 4s connects and disconnects from Windows 8

Apologies if this has been asked before as i'm sure it has but I can't find a solution.
I have a new HP Compaq laptop using USB 3.0, when I connect my IPhone 4s to my laptop it connects and disconnects every seconds, I've looked in the device manager and can't find anything to do with Apple in there.
Has anyone found a solution to this?

Every time I connect and disconnect my iphone/ipad windows vista opens windows media player in the background. It then hogs all of my cpu. Does this happen to anyone else?

I am running iOS 4.3.5 and this has been going on for months now. I need to keep my task manager open to kill the task when I connect and disconnect my iphone or ipad. It hogs all of my cpu, sometimes opening 2 or 3 windows media players.

Sorry, just to confirm, I DID NOT ACTUALLY ANSWER MY OWN QUESTION!
I replied to the previous message from my iphone and I managed to hit the link to "This has answered my question" by accident!
I AM STILL LOOKING FOR A RESOLUTION TO MY ORIGINAL PROBLEM. CAN SOMEONE ALSO NIW TELL ME HOW TO GET RID OF THE GREEN TEXT TGAT SAYS TGAT MY QUESTION IS ANSWERED? That is a pain! It should at least ask you to confirm that your question is actually answered and you didn't hit it by mistake, like I did!

Why does my iPad keeps connecting and disconnecting from the new late 2013 iMac

Hi there,
I've recently bought a new late 2013 iMac and ever since then I'm not able to connect my iPad 2 to it. When I do connect it keeps connecting and disconnecting again and again for some reason. The cable is fine and I've tried it with other devices. Just wondered why this is and whether you guys can help me out.
Thanks a lot!
CitizenJohnny

Hi,
I had the same problem and just found a solution. I tryed restoring all content and settings on the iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings). It took lots of time, however it didn´t work because when I connected the iPad and iMac the problem persisted.
Then I thought it wasn´t an iPad problem but iMac OSX problem. So I searched the web for "Reinstall Mavericks" and found this http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13871?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US.
It also takes like 6 hours with my internet speed. Next day I connected the iPad and everything is just fine.
I described both processes because I don´t know if in the end the iPad reset helped in the solution.
Hope that helps! good luck

IPhone 4s keeps connecting and disconnecting from my new Macbook Air 2013

Ok I've been having this problem, I recently got an 11 inch Macbook Air 2013 and after I try connecting my iPhone 4s it keeps connecting and disconnecting every 1-2 seconds. I already check the community, I know this subject has been asked many times. Nothing worked out though. My cable cord must be fine because it works perfectly on my PC. I updated the OS and iOS to their latest firmware and still nothing. Whenever I try opening iTunes I get this message saying " iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected. " Please if anyone fixed this issue I would appreciate some help. Thanks in advance.

I just solved it, I hope this helps everyone who is experiencing the same problem. Apparently the iPhone seems to charge normally and connect to iTunes if the iPhone battery is over 60%-70%. This must be a power issue the MBA has.

Microsoft Messenger or Ebuddy connects and disconnects

Hello
I've just bought my iPhone 4 a month ago. I'm very happy with it (formerly a BlackBerry user) but there's an issue that is driving me crazy. I've installed Microsoft Messenger and it connects and disconnects every 3 minutes. Also I've tried with Ebuddy but it has the same behaviour. It's quite strange because with BlackBerry I had no issues regarding this app
My carrier is Movistar (Colombia) and I have an unlimited data plan
Do anybody know how to solve this? I've read the Messenger's reviews on the Apple Store and it seems that a lot of people (in Latin America at least) are having the same problem
Thank you

You need to contact Microsoft about a problem with their iPhone app and the same for the app developer for eBuddy.

My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connected and disconnected. does the same with itunes. Also i'm talking on the phone and all of a sudden the other person can not hear me.

My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connecting and disconnecting. It does the same with itunes so it doesnt really sync. Also when talking to someone, all of a sudden they cant hear me.

I'm having the same issue. I went to my local apple store and they could not work me into the genius bar so i made an appointment for tomorrow morning. The clerk did check the phone for the pink indicators at the top and bottom of the phone (where you plug in your USB or headphones) He said if you can see a pink indicator dot you may have gotten it wet, or had some sort of condensation in it, which could cause the plugs to not work.
In regards to people not being able to hear you, i'm waiting for my appointment tomorrow for more news! I would recommend taking it into your local apple store for more answers.

IPhone connects and disconnects for no reason.

My iPhone 4 and iPhone 5s won't stay connected to my new (Jan. 2015) Macbook Pro Retina 13". It will continuously connect and disconnect from the computer (not physically). What can/should I do? Is this a hard drive/motherboard issue? I have tried multiple chords and phones and the only one that stayed connected was my iPhone 3.

Could it be the text message reminder? It beeps twice (after the original time) to remind you.
