Problems connecting i-pod to computer

I am having trouble connecting my i-pod to my computer, everytime I try it comes up with the following message 'USB Device Not Regonized'. I have gone through all the help sections and have reinstalled, restarted etc etc, but none of this has helped. I cannot view my i-pod on my computer or in the source list in i-tunes. I have tried all the USB ports on my computer, but the same message comes up each time with it, I have tested the USB ports with other devices to make sure that they are working ok and they are fine. My next step to maybe solve this problem will be to buy a new USB lead for my i-pod.
Any help would be appreciated as I am getting quite frustrated!
Thanks, Jade

Hi Slim,
This is becos ur drive is not updated.
Go to control panel -> administrative tools ->computer management -> system tools -> device manager -> Universal serial bus controller (expand this) you can see " Unknown device in USB port to which your ipod is connected ", right click and select update drive option. This will update the latest drive in your computer. Restart the machine after updating.

Connecting i-pod to computer and getting it to come up on i-tunes...

I can not get my i-pod to connect to my i-tunes. The only way that I can get my i-pod to connect with the new 7.0 i-tunes is to restart my computer with the i-pod connected. Is there anyway to get my i-pod to connect as soon as I plug it into my computer? It worked prior to the new update and my ipod is fully updated.

HT2452 i downloaded a new java - but having problems connecting to a remote computer. how can I go back to how my imac was configured 2 hours ago?

greetings.
is there a way to restore my iMac to how it was 2 hours ago? kinda like a system restore in PC if I wanted to revert back.. any ideas? I downloaded a new Java and I dont know how to configure it. When trying to log into my work computer it said old version of Jave not supported but earlier in the day I had no problems. Now I can't get past the launch page on my SecureID - does this sound familiar to anyone or is it foreign?? Not sure if i need to call my comapany's desktop support

Hi Bill,
Locate the version of Java that’s installed on your Mac OS X system.
1. Open the Utilities folder and run the Terminal application.
2. Type java -version and press Enter.
(space between java & -v important)
The version of Java that you have installed will then be displayed on the screen.

Problems Connecting NOMAD MuVo NX with Compu

I received a present from london. A Nomad MuVo NX. I'm having problems connecting it to the computer. My computer won't detect it at all. I installed all the programs and drivers and everything I could think of. I can't get an icon on the LCD screen saying that it's connected and it won't prompt me to install anything. I've also checked on my computer and it doesn't have an icon for it. It's not even showing up. I'm using a windows XP. Will be waitting for replies. thank you.

The MuVo doesn't need to install any drivers for Windows Me, 2000 or XP, as it should be detected as a USB mass storage device.
You can install the Creative software to rip CDs, and the software has features that help you work with the player such as "Smartfit", which helps compress files to fit on the player and save space.
But as for your problem, can you test with another PC to see if the issue is localised to your PC or to the player itself?

Sync problem - earlier today I updated both iTunes and my iPod Touch. Since then, I have tried syncing the two. The iPod Touch claims that there is no music on the iPod, however, when I connect it to my computer it says my full library is on there.

At present, I am unable to listen to songs on the iPod when not connected to the computer. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks for any help!

- Have you reset your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to backup your iPod and then restore you iPod from backup via iTunes.

I have my i Pad connected to my computer and I still get error message there was a problem connecting to the server

I was having problems connecting to my app store and safari, any games or anything that required going out to a server. I rebooted my wireless several times it is working and it shows a signal on my iPad so it was suggested I go into settings and do a reset. I have done this and it still is not working. the error message when I try to sign in with an Apple ID is "there was a problem connecting to the server". I even get this when I am connected directly to my computer through Itunes
Any suggestions?

Sounds more like you have a problem with your apple id. For starters go to that page click manage my apple id and singn in. If you can't sign in reset password.
https://appleid.apple.com
if you can sign in there, try to sign in to itunes on your computer.

There was a problem connecting to the server "my server.local" this file is available on your computer. Access the files and volumes locally.

Hi,
I have a strange problem connecting one of the office laptops (Macbook Pro 10.7) to the disk in the Apple Time Capsule. It's just one laptop that has this problem and the other 3 no problems at all and they all run OS X 10.7 Lion, I can access the Time Capsule disk over WAN on all machines but locally on the problem machine i get this message "There was a problem connecting to the server "myserver.local" this file is available on your computer. Access the files and volumes locally." Now from this message it sounds like the problem laptop thinks the network drive (Time Capsule) is the same as it's self in the way of name or address however they clearly have different IP addresses locally.
Any ideas on this would be apreciated as I can only think a clean install but don't want to do this if not necessary.
Thanks
Jarrah

I think I gave you some bad info in the above, where i enterered the text "myserver.local" & "example.local" this was the host name of the server (Time Capsule) so not local on the computer.
No i didn't try your method, I'll give it a go - I thought the folder option was for local files and not on a server ?

There was a problem connecting to the server...please check the share name..every 3 seconds. made computer useless

there was a problem connecting to the server...please check the share name..every 3 seconds. made computer useless. Lion. It only complains about one of my PCs that usually shares OK with the imac.

First, restart the Time Capsule by disconnecting the power adapter and reconnecting it. If other devices on the network can see it, you can skip this step.
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
Click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate to unlock the settings, if necessary. Click the Advanced button, then select the TCP/IP tab in the sheet that drops down. Click Renew DHCP lease.
Try again to back up.
If you still can't, open the Time Machine preference pane and delete the TC from the list of backup destinations. You may have to unlock the settings by clicking the lock icon in order to do this. Then add it back.

Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

Thanks, for info, iPod Classic is a slower machine compared the Nano, unfortunately, if you read these discussions, majority of the freezes involved iTunes 10. Although if might be just slow and some impatient user just disconnect the iPod ands cause more problems. ( Yes I also did that but safely by doing a iPod Hard Reset, before disconnecting).
Here is the Apple support article that may help you.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
or my usual solution for Windows Users.
Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC, do not use any USB Hub.
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
Good Luck!

You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.
If the issue persists...
Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

Just received a replacement ipad and when I connected it to my computer I followed the prompts exactly like the apple tech said. Problem is, I get to a screen prompt that asks me to restore (which he said to click) and now my screen is frozen.

I just received a replacement iPad and when I connected it to my computer I followed the prompts exactly like the apple tech told me too. When I got to a prompt asking if I wanted to restore the iPad he said to click on it. I did. Now my iPad screen is frozen on the iTunes connect screen and I cannot get out of it. An iPad shows connected in my iTunes folder, but when I run a diagnostic it says no iPad is detected.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Personally, I would call Apple back. However...
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.

Why does my computer say that there is a problem connecting to a server when I'm in iPhoto?

After I launch iPhoto, this message pops up every 10 seconds or so,
There is a problem connecting to the server "Scotts Macbook"?
Why does this happen? I'm not trying to connect to any server, how do I disconnect? I used to use the Macbook for my iWeb site, but I haven't done that for years.

I'm having the same problem. I'm running 10.7.2. My main NAS just failed and I'm using a new one. The old NAS was called "DATASERVER". The new NAS is called "NEWSERVER".
Many, but not all of my original files were located on and imported from DATASERVER which is no longer in use. I can see all of my photos but when I try to open them/edit them it's clear that I just have thumbnails. I get the error message "There was a problem connecting to a server "DATASERVER". The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
Other information:
* I'm using iPhoto 9.2.1
* Currently in Preferences I have the "copy items to the iPhoto library" CHECKED.
* I can access the directories, files, etc. on NEWSERVER via Finder.
* I have gone into keychain and deleted any references to DATASERVER
* I have turned off Time Machine.
* At one point it was asking me to find the original file and a finder window would pop up. I could then point to the original file only to get the "There wasa a problem connecting to a server "DATASERVER" again.
I do not know if I'm using a Managed Library or a Referenced Library since I set this up long ago. I seem to recall at one point I tried to manage the library myself but then changed.
Any help that you can provide would be very much appreciated. I've scoured this site and others but cannot find a solution that works.
