Nano iPod USB DFU Device

Hey all, i received my ipod as a gift. It was working fine for a few weeks until one day i plugged it into my computer. After plugging it into my computer, the nano stopped working. The screen does not turn on. Yet there is power and the ipod is on. When i plug it into the computer it recognizes it as a usb dfu device instead of a mass storage device. I found the driver by taking it from the ipod reset utility for the shuffle, yet i cant get any further than that. I tried using the utility but it is shuffle specific. Any help would be appreciated. I was thinking about maybe changing keys in the registry to change the way itunes looks for the ipod.

yes im having the same problem......its been like that for like 2 weeks....

Sure you haven't bought a lemon?
I have tried all of the above and I still have the
same error. So my question is since I bought it off
ebay and it is still under warranty, will apple
replace it even though I am not the orginal owner?
Thanks for the help.
Yes... all that's required is the serial number. Check it out: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

Nano 3g - USB "this device can perform faster" report

I occasionally get this error when I connect my 3rd gen nano - though most of the time it corrects correctly (Dell OptiPlex desktop, Windows 7 32-bit). I've double checked all the "usual suspects" - tried two different USB cables, different USB ports, checked that all drivers are up to date, yet the error persists. It seems to be specific to this nano, as neither my 2nd gen (synced using the same cables) and my 7th gen ever give the error. I've reset the nano, checked that its software is up to date, etc. Any thoughts on why this may be showing up as an occasional issue, and any further remedies I might try?

In your searching, were you able to find this link?: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-50838
Even though the document refers to Windows 2000, it implies you need the latest Intel chipset drivers for the 845 and 855 chipsets to get the USB 2.0 support functioning.
The latest Lenovo drivers are available from the Thinkpad Matrix here (which are still pretty old):
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-46058
I had to do something similar (many moons ago) on my old T40, but the Windows XP build I had came with the correct drivers, I just need to use the device manager to update the drivers from the windows defaults to the USB 2.0 version.
Hope that helps.
EDIT:
You can also find information on troubleshooting USB 2.0 device issues here:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-4YQHUD.html
The most useful excerpt from that link is probably:
Verify that the USB device is USB 1.1 or 2.0 compliant.
Plugging specific USB 1.1 compliant devices into a USB 2.0 compliant port will cause an error message dialog box to appear. That dialog box details that a non-high speed device has been attached to a high speed port. The device should function normally, but at a slower speed than if a 2.0 device is attached to 2.0 port. Most USB 1.1 devices will function normally in USB 2.0 ports.
In case the issue is with your device(s) driver(s) instead of the USB hub/port driver(s).

3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics. Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one. From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...

Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.

How do I get my ipod shuffle/nano to play music in my 2009 hyundai elantra's ipod usb port? It reads the device (ipod) and says its "empty"?

I have a 2009 hyundai elantra with an ipod usb port, when I try to hook up my shuffle with its usb connector to my car, the stereo dashboard says its reading the device and then says the device is empty...therefore no music gets played or heard. What am I doing wrong? Or is there some sort of cable i need to be using with my ipod to get it to play in my car?Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Either you have accidently posted this in the wrong forum (this is the LiveType discussion board), or the fora are screwing up again (if they ever stopped). To answer your question, though, you need some kind of converter that will export only the audio. I'm sure there are many free solutions out there, but not being familiar with Windows, the only one I know off the top of my head is Quicktime Pro ($30).
Either way, your iPod problems shouldn't be affecting your caps lock key.

Nano, Vista & iPod USB drivers

Before I install iTunes Vista recognizes my iPod, it shows up in My Computer and I can use it as a storage device. In Device Manager it shows up under disk drives as an iPod and under USB controllers as a mass storage device. After I install iTunes it loads new drivers, or it tries to. It installs a new iPod USB driver & then it tries to install iPod drivers and never finds them. It tells me the device drivers were not found & I can't use the device until they are loaded. Now the iPod won't even show up in My Computer. When I check Device Manager there is an entry for the iPod with an exclamation mark beside it & under USB controllers it is now listed as an iPod USB device. When I uninstall iTunes it still won't recognize the device properly but if I do a system restore, back to before I loaded iTunes, and then plug the iPod back in it goes back to recognizing it in My Computer as an iPod storage device and under Device Manager it checks out OK. I think the problem is with the new USB device drivers iTunes installs. When installed iTunes will start up no problem, it's just when I plug in the iPod it loads the problem drivers & I have to do a system restore to get my iPod back again. Please help, I've had to do a system restore 5 times now & it still won't work. I can either have an iPod loaded or iTunes load, just not both at the same time. I'm very familiar with computers & software but this is driving me crazy
BTW, my iPod is a new 3rd generation 8-GB Nano

I had a similar problem under XP Pro SP2. If you have a 3rd party USB2.0 enhanced driver for your USB port, you could try replacing it with the Vista generic enhanced driver. Once you've replace the USB 2.0 driver, verify that your Nano is still showing up as a mass storage device, and then try installing iTunes again.
I was using the Adaptec driver, which always gave a blue screen error when I connected my Nano after installing iTunes. After restoring a backup, I changed the USB driver and my Nano showed back up as a mass storage device. Then, after installing iTunes, everything was fine.
Hope this helps!

Apple IPod USB Device Driver Not Installed? WIndows not reconizing IPod!

Hoping someone can help me with my new Ipod Nano. I installed the IPod Updater and Itunes programs from the provided CD and formatted the Ipod. That all works fine -- the Ipod actually works, etc.
But during the actuall instation process, the Hardware Update Window came up for the 'Apple IPod USB Device' (I use Windows XP) I've tried to have it install automaticaly and manualy, without any luck. As a result, when the IPod is connected to the computer, I get a '!' on the device in Windows Explorer and neither ITunes or the Ipod Updater -- or Windows -- will reconize it!
If I connect my Ipod to the computer, the 'hardware' icon comes up in my system tray and the Ipod screen changes to the 'Do not disconnect' message. I can click on the hardware icon to 'remove' it. But I can't DO anything with the Ipod if nothing will reconize it!
I've tried updating the ITunes and Updater to the latest versions, plugged the USB cable into different spots on my computer, uninstalled and reinstalled everything, this time selecting the 'do not connect the Ipod to the computer at this time' option.....nothing. Windows just will NOT reconize the IPod and everytime I install the software I get that Hardware Update Window screen up!
Is there a driver for this I'm missing somewhere? What's going on? I can't do anything with my IPod and can't even find a phone number to call Apple for help!

1-800-275-2273.
This might be an issue with your operating system. You might also want to try using it on another computer before calling them as they'll probably ask you to do so. This will isolate the problem to your computer and they might tell you to try calling Windows or getting the latest drivers for your computer.

Why doesn't my nano ipod show up as a device in itunes?

I can't get my new nano ipod to sync
Can't figure out why. Please help

-The 4G iPod can only go as high as iOS 6.1.6. Its hardware prevents going to iOS 7
- For not in Devices:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See

- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

My daughter's ipod nano shows up in "devices" when I plug it in...but it disappears. Right away it says it needs to update, but then after extracting the files it comes back and says that it can't be updated because it can't be unmounted. help?!

When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Apple iPod USB Device driver issue on Win XP - syncing shuffle 2nd gen.

Hello fellow iPod shuffle users. Any of you run into this problem using the following configurations? Any advise/recommendations/workarounds much appreciated as I've burned 3 days on this issue and I'm still stonewalled.
I personally think it's a device driver issue/bug and am searching for a way to update my Apple iPod USB device driver for Win XP. Two brand new ipod shuffles (received for Christmas 2008) are both behaving this way, so the problem most likely points to a global software issue more-so than to shuffle hardware issue.
PROBLEM STATEMENT: Driver data i/o streaming issue does not allow shuffle to sync data with iTunes after initial sync (i.e. reading the content of the shuffle is good, but writing modified content fails). Posted error message "The ipod ... cannot be synced. Required disk cannot be found". After cracking the hood on my device driver, the problem seems to point to the Apple iPod USB device driver for Win XP. Driver will recognize the shuffle and read to it, but subsequent write attempts will result in device driver balks that "this device cannot start (code 10)".
ATTEMPTED WORKAROUNDS:
*Read All "How to Get Started Manuals" to make sure I was using the right technique for syncing my two shuffles from within iTunes... tried and failed
*Ensure only one shuffle was plugged in at a time (saw notice that two shuffles plugged in at the same time is not yet a supported config)... tried and failed
*The 5 R's as recommended by Apple Support... tried and failed.
*I've tried all 3 built in USB ports on my Lenovo T60. no love... tried and failed.
*Per discussion board: From Window's Device Manager-> Scaned for new hardware while shuffle was syncing...tried and failed.
* Per Discussion board: From Window's Disk Management -> Ensured shuffle came up as a FAT32 filesystem... connection tore down as quickly as windows recognized it.... tried and failed.
*From Windows Software config utility: Ran repair to re-install itunes 8... same results.
*From Windows software management utility: Uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 8... same results.
Hardware: IBM Thinkpad/Lenovo T60. Using build in k/b & no external mouse. Has 3 USB built in ports.
Software: Windows XP Pro SP2/iTunes 8.0.2/shuffle (2nd gen) driver 1.0.4 (same behavior using the original driver 1.0.3).
Apple iPod USB Device properties:
Driver Provider - Microsoft
Driver Date - 7/1/2001
Driver Version - 5.1.2535.0
Digital Signer - Microsoft Windows Publisher

Hi. Ive got pretty much the same problem.... Got a new shuffle for christmas..having real problems syncing with itunes.

Ive done restore, and downloaded a reset utility thingy to try but still no joy.

ITunes and my Mac don't recognize my iPod Nano (6th generation) under devices?

iTunes and my Mac don't recognize my iPod Nano (6th generation) under devices? I have tried rebooting/resetting and reinstalling iTunes already. I have also checked the ports and cables, what can be done?

Try here.

Could be your security software and firewall preventing iTunes from recognizing your iPod.
Disable antivirus software
Turn Windows Firewall on or off

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.

Using iPod USB Charger A1102 with iPod nano 7g

Hi,
I have an iPod USB Power Adapter (model 1102) that I used with my old iPod video 5.5g which sadly passed away after years of service.
I bought a new iPod nano 7g and I was wondering if I could use that adapter with it, since this new iPod uses this new "Lightning technology" (but still comes with an USB cable). I don't know if there might be issues with current values/tension/ etc..
Can I use it without damaging the iPod?
Thanks,
Matt
