Nothing happens when connect iTouch to mac - is the cable already dead?

Last week when I connected my (4 week old) touch to the right-side usb port, nothing happened, but then it connected fine to the left-sided port; bit funny I thought, but got on with my syncing etc. Today, nothing happens when I connect on either side. Do I have a problem with the USB cable?
Thanks in advance for any help...

Macs can get USB errors just like any other computer. Try restarting or shutting down and restarting and then try syncing again.

  • Nothing happens when connecting iPod to the computer

    I have also upgraded to iTunes 5.0, and now nothing happens when I try to connect my iPod to the computer. iTunes works fine; I can play music in iTunes, and no error messages. But my iPod doesn't show.... Any suggestions how I can solve this? Please?

    hi Jane!
    okay, here's another couple of troubleshooting documents:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499
    ... but if you're still having trouble after this, it would be a good idea to post over in one of the "Connecting your ipod" forums, so we can get you some concentrated attention on your situation from the connection gurus.
    it would help give context if you provided a reference link back to this thread. there's instructions on how to do that given here:

  • I've downloaded iTunes on this computer but now nothing happens when I plug my phone in the USB port.

    I had a software update on my phone and tapped it to start the update then decided to cancel it. Now it will not let me back in my phone and has a picture that is telling me to plug into iTunes. I had to download iTunes on this computer first because it wasnt on this computer. It has downloaded, but nothing happens when i plug my phone up to the USB port in my computer. The picture telling me to plug into iTunes is still on my phone.

    Try carefully following the steps outlined in this Apple support document to put your iPad into recovery mode.

  • Nothing happens when connecting CA-126 cable to E6...

    Hello,
    When I connect my E63 via the CA-126 cable nothing happens in the phone screen. Neither the data nor the power connections work.
    I tried in different PC. Therefore, the problem is not in the USB port.
    The cable worked OK days ago.
    Thanks.
    Solved!

    It was a cable problem. They gave me a new one and it works fine.

  • Nothing happens when i type a subject in the status bar

    when I type a subject or something I want to find e.g. wikipedia or red sea, dogs etc in the box in middle of screen, nothing happens. I am not rerouted to any page.
    The only way I can access a page is to write the address in the menu bar at the top or go into the smaller google toolbar at the top right hand corner of the screen

    You're presumably talking about the Firefox home page. After you type in a search term, hit Enter.
    If that doesn't work, then update to Firefox 4.0.1 by clicking Help | About Firefox | Check For Updates. Then try again.
    If the problem persists, disable AVG Safe Search by clicking the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions and you should be able to find it in there.
    If you don't have the AVG app installed, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

  • I can only open pages using bookmarks. Nothing happens when I enter a address in the address line. What can I do?

    On the address line. I enter a url address such a google and nothing happens. The only way I can get to pages is though my bookmarks. I had to bookmark google, search from there and then bookmark what ever page I want to come back to. Tried reloading Firefox and still not working.

    Start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Safe Mode to Troubleshoot the issue] and to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Nothing happening when I plug nano in for the first time- no "source" tab

    I have a 2nd generation 4GB nano, brand new. I used to have a 20GB ipod, hard drive crashed. So I have updated my itunes to 7.0, and charged my nano on a wall outlet.
    I plugged the nano in, with the itunes open, and nothing has happened (it's been over an hour). I've read discussions, everyone keeps referencing "choose nano in the source panel"--I do not have any "source" panel or button on my itunes. The nano screen just says "do not disconnect."
    Any help is much appreciated!
    Sue

    Are you saying that the nano does not show in iTunes? The source panel is always there....it's the panel on the left hand side of iTunes that allows you to look at created playlists (Recently played, music, videos, podcasts, etc). In that area you should see the nano (whatever you named it or it may just say "iPod"). If you don't then go to the Windows "Safely Remove Hardware" utility (it may be open in the area at the far bottom right of your computer screen where the time is. It is an icon with a green arrow pointing left and slightly down in case you are not familiar with it). You can "eject" your iPod using that (click on stop and then another box should open. Click on the iPod labeled drive listed and then click the ok button). Then restart iTunes and reconnect your ipod.

  • Buttons on dialogue and prompt boxes are blank and nothing happens when I click on them.

    Whenever a dialogue box or prompt box comes up, the all of the buttons or sometimes just the bottom two (OK and cancel) are blank and nothing happens when I click on them, with the exception of one website in which clicking the blank button that normally says "OK" takes me to a blank screen. This doesn't allow me to access certain websites or download anything when a dialogue box asks me to confirm. As a result, I also cannot start firefox in safe mode or refresh it.
    Attached is an example. That is what came up when I tried to refresh firefox. Nothing happens when I click either of the buttons at the bottom.
    EDIT: Attached the image.

    Strangely enough, it just stopped happening on its own this morning. Thanks for the help, though!

    These are Java files.  http://www.java.com/en/ is where you can get the latest Java for your operating system. If your Java files need an older version of Java, there are instructions on the web to downgrade Mac Java, but it is difficult, and poses security issues.

  • I am connected to the internet and when I google a topic the screen shows what it found, however the screen is gray and nothing happens when clicking on the screen to select the topic.  Is something wrong on my settings.

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
