Problems with USB port and connecting ipod?

So I recently got a Macbook Pro Retina and I'm having some trouble with my USB ports especially when syncing my ipod is involved. For some reason, the ipod has trouble connecting and it fluctuates from connecting to not connecting and sometimes, the computer says USB devices are disabled. I've looked this up before and tried the PRAM reset or whatever, but it still doesn't work. I'm not really sure what's going on because when I try to charge the ipod with a wall charger, it works perfectly fine. However, trying to charge it with my computer is a different story. I've tried charging my ipod from both sides of the port but it still does not work. (Also can someone explain how to know whether the USB is 3.0 or 2.0?) Thank you:) This problem does not involve my ipod because I recently just got it back from servicing.

I went through all said steps.
It is not acknowledging the fact that I have my iPod plugged in at all under the Universal Serial Bus. Or that fact that the USB port is plugged in.
Any more advice??
Thank you so much for any and all help!

Problems with USB port and song transferring;

Hi! I just got an iPod and I am having problems with it. My computer doesn't have a Hi-Speed USB port, even if it's 9 months old. Some of my friends don't have it either but they still are able to transfer songs onto their iPod. For mine, it keeps saying "Do Not Disconnect." I waited for 5 hours last time I got it and it still isn't working.
I also updated my iPod software today and the iPod icon isn't appearing on the bar to the left in iTunes. I'd really appreciate any help on this! As well as if I really need to do something about the ports or if it could function like this normally.

Problem with usb-ports and keyboard

Hi.I reinstaledl windows xp sp3,downloaded all drivers from this site and now i have a problem.When I push any key on keyboard-my usb-ports dont working.Its like they dont get power supply.Sorry for my bad english.And then I stop to push-usb ports start to work.What can I do?Thanks.

hi tony7161,
Welcome to the forums.
It looks like there's a short somewhere when you touch that keyboard and causes the USB ports to stop. May I know what lenovo computer do you have? Have you tried booting into safe mode (you need to press F8 upon boot-up and choose Safe Mode) to see if the issue persists?
Let me know your findings.
Cheers.

If you're having problems with USB ports, read on...

i'm reading that alot of people on here are having problems with their front (or top) usb on their cases not working with their k7n2 boards. i have come across the correct solution to this problem in one of the posts (after having solved the problem on my own), however noone has posted the solution by itself on this forum so everyone can easily see it.
The trick is to make sure that pin 10 (at least on a K7n2 delta-L), the pin labeled USBOC (USB Open Connection), is wired to NOTHING. If the connector to your front usb ports is fused into one giant connector and it HAS a wire that will connect to this pin (labeled GND2 or Shield or something), CUT THAT WIRE. Pin 10 on JUSB2 (at least on a K7n2 delta-L) must be OPEN. If this pin IS connected to something (even if it is only GND), the motherboard will think something is connected to this usb port and you will get many unknown devices listed in your windows device manager and the rest of your usb ports may or may not work.
As a general rule of thumb, if a pin on a motherboard is labeled OC for "Open Connection" and you wire something to it, you're asking for trouble.
If you cannot understand this you should not be attempting to wire a motherboard in the first place.
Here is a picture to go along with this discussion. If you cannot see this picture, I am sorry for it has probably been removed from the place I posted it online as I cannot attach pictures physically to this post. If someone here has a way to permanently host this picture and post it to this thread permanently, that would be wonderful.
In summary: all usb ports/headers have only four pins associated with it (VCC, USB+, USB-, GND). If the connector (whether it's one big connector or individual sockets) to your front/top usb port has 5 sockets, don't connect the 5th socket to anything. That goes for any case/motherboard combination. This is what i'm talking about above. I have no idea why motherboard and case manufacturers have a 5th pin involved in any way on either the pin or socket side. It is not used for usb.
EDIT: I just noticed this has already been discussed in the trouble shooting guide in the above sticky post. oh well, now we have a pretty picture to go along with it (i hope).

:-D)Hello guys,
as promised I come back here to give the results of my tests... and I have to say that you saved my day (even if I had to open back 60 secured cases).
So the solution was the right one, when I unplugged the "ground" end of the front USB connector cable from the USBOC pin, those connectors finally worked as expected with USB 2.0 compliant devices.
So thank you really much for this very usefull information !
And even if maybe it's not only MSI's fault, I still believe that more information on those connectors in the user's manual would be really usefull (who knows what USBOC means except a few people and who could imagine that pluggin on it a "ground" cable would make it unserviceable ??). And who ever saw a user's manual bundled with a case ?? it's pretty unusual
Hope that someone at MSI will read that and take it into consideration, not for me (because now I'm aware) but for the thousands other consumers that will feel a little bit "annoyed" with that issue. I don't think that adding one line about it in user's manuals would be so much expensive
But I'm quite lucky myself... being able to understand and write english (even if I still have some progress to do ) gave me the possibility to find the solution... but a lot of my french fellows can't do that... and there's no french forum here... How can they do ? They rely on user's manual
Best regards,
Nicolas

Issue with USB ports and Blue Screen

So, I had to send my Satellite L355-S7905 back and Toshiba had to do a factory restore. I got it back 2 weeks ago and now I have a new problem; 2-3 times a day my mouse and printer stops working, these are connected via USB ports and I get a message that the device is no longer recognized. I found a solution on the Microsoft site to go to Device manager and Scan for new hardware changes and then Restart. I do this and when I restart I get the dreaded blue screen. So I then have to unplug, take out the battery and turn the computer back on. Then the mouse and printer are recognized. This will work for several hours and then the whole thing happens again. So, are there any long term solutions? Can anyone tell my why this is happening? Please note, that that the printer and mouse are not new and no new hardware has been installed since getting it back from the factory.
Thank you for your help!!
Jennifer

start-->control panel-->system and security-->device manager-->expand the universal serial bus controllers-->right click and uninstall all of the USB root hubs-->restart-->they will reinstall on restart, and search for attached hardware.

[K8N NEO3-F] Problem with USB keyboard and PS2 mouse after upgrading BIOS

Hello everyone!
I have upgraded BIOS from 1.1 to 1.4... I have Sempron 2600 (64bit) so BIOS v.1.1 did not recognise it.
The motherboard works, but after upgrading I have a small problem with my keyboard and mouse.
When I use USB keyboard my PS2 mouse doesn't work. When I connect PS2 keyboard mouse works!!!
Can you tell me what's wrong?
Thanks, bartull@
PS. Does BIOS v.1.3 recognise Sempron 64bit? Can you give me a link to it?

I think that the problem may have been caused by flashing either with liveupdate or with winflash. I had the problem when i used winflash correctly (shutting down all programs, checking all the boxes to clear bootblock and cmos) but had usb keyboard connected during flash. My suggestion is to reflash with floppy to last bios version that worked using only ps2 mouse and keyboard with the following instructions:
DOS floppy flash shall be performed with :
awfl833d.exe w7030nms.180 /py /sn /wb /cc /cd /cp /f /e
(Replace biosfilename with appropriate version for Neo1/neo2 etc , switches remain the same )
After flash is complete :
TURN OFF PSU (don't restart) wait 15 seconds
Turn on again , press the power button .
Enter BIOS and load optimized defaults (NO OTHER CHANGES) , save + exit
Boot the system again with the floppy in the drive to let the DMI pool build and update itself .
If that works, then reflash to the bios you tried before with the same procedure. Once you have stable system with ps2 keyboard and mouse working, re-enter bios and enable usb and keyboard support as a lot of bios' have it disabled by default for some strange reason.
Good luck.

I have a 2013 Buick Enclave with Pandora icon on the screen. I was told that to connect my iphone 5 with USB port and that worked. But as soon as I disconnected, Pandora went out on screen. Only works plugged in now. Should work without USB connected.

I have a 2013 Buick Enclave with Pandora and Stitcher on the nav screen. With my Samsung S3, Pandora automatically lit up and worked. with new iphone5, I was told I need to connect USB port to car and phone and start Pandora. That worked and the icon on screen lit up. but as soon as I removed the USB cord, Pandora and Stitcher greyed out and stopped working. I know it's supposed to work on the car's nav screen once I hardwire it (at least that's what I was told), but as soon as I disconnect, they stop working through the car. How can I install Pandora and Stitcher on my car WITHOUT having the usb cord attached? the idea is to be able to use the car's touch screen to control Pandora, but with the phone plugged into the USB port, I can only use the phone to control Pandora, which of course is dangerous when driving! And it worked correctly with the samsung, so I have to believe it can work with the iphone 5! Right? Thanks.

You cannot install the apps on the car.
The cars head unit is merely acting as an interface to the apps on the device.
If you want to use those apps in the car, plug the device in and leave it plugged in.

Problem with USB port on X6 docking station and X60 laptop

Hello all,
One of my users is having a problem that when she undocks the X60 laptop from the X6 docking station and then re-docks it later, the devices connected to the USB ports on the X6 docking station are no longer recognized. Even after repeated re-boots I can't get the USB ports to work. The USB ports on the laptop still work, but not on the docking station. Anyone know what I need to do to fix this?
T

BIOS 2.19 is for X61 series not X60(s).
Here're my solutions.
Solution 1. Unplug all USB devices from docking station. Reset BIOS to defaults, save settings, reboot, plug all devices back. All of them should work now.
Solution 2. Power off your system. Un-dock your laptop. Unplug all USB devices from docking. Re-dock your laptop back again. Power on your system. Plug all devices back again after system booting. All of devices should work now.
I tested both on my X60s working even if it seems rediculous.
Lenovo promised to send me a new docking; however, I don't think it will help unless new BIOS is released to solve this issue.
Note: the kep point is you have to wait to plug all devices back to docking after system boots.
Good luck.

Airport Extreme - problem with usb printer and usb disk

I have Airport extreme with firmware 7.1. I try connect usb disk and usb printer with usb-hub to airport. I can't get disk or printer working. Also try connect only disk or printer without usb-hub to airport getting same problem. How I get disk and printer working with wireless network (windows pc computers)?
1)
My printer is HP PSC 1210 all-in-one ( http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=90764&lc=fi&cc=fi&dlc=fi&lang =fi&cc=fi&y=0&x=0 )
- printer seems working fine after installing bonjour printer installing wizard.
- I get error (in windows) when I try print document from word. Error only says "error printing" in status value.
- In airport utility all seems ok. Airport see usb printer "Hewlett-Packard psc 1200 series"
- printer protocol is RAW and driver manufacture HP (also try with microsoft driver)
2)
USB disk is Targa Databox II 250
- Airport utility says "Disk needs repair. Errors were found with a disk connected to your airport base station. please connect the usb disk to your mac or pc and use disk utility or another disk application to repair the disk"
- I have connected Targa usb disk to windows pc and run scandisk and defreg. No errors found in windows. Result..no help for airport

I have a similar problem to your second issue. Tried connecting a Netdisk to the USB port of the Airport Extreme and it also said there was a problem with the disk. Have performed a low level format on the disk and Airport Extreme still complained the disk had a problem.
After unplugging the disk, my route decided to stop allowing wireless connections even after rebooting. Ended up having to hard reset the Airport Extreme and reconfigure it with my old settings to work again.
FWIW, the first Airport Extreme I purchased today only worked on 802.11a and steadfastly refused to work on b/g so had to get a replacement. I suspect Apple's quality control is not quite as good as it used to be.

Split x2 problem with USB ports not working

My computer is somewhat new and this problem has been happening since I first got it. I couldn't find anything about this problem here or elsewhere online.
When I plug anything into either USB port (I've tried my phone and an external harddrive) the computer like sort of recognizes it on and off. When I plug in my phone the computer beeps at random every several seconds and doesn't recognize it. The external hard drive was sort of recognized but only on and off and I couldn't move things from it to my computer because it wouldn't stay connected long enough. It's literally like every 2-3 seconds it recognizes the USB thing, changes it's mind and then recognizes it again, etc. forever.
I haven't had a chance to test the SD card slot or the HDMI port yet.
Sometimes the mouse freezes also, I'm not sure if this is the same problem (related to connection between the tablet and the keyboard parts) or if these are separate problems. It seems to be happening less often and goes away if I wait for a moment. Still annoying but the USB ports not functioning is a more urgent issue.
I need help, is there a way to fix this or is something faulty with my computer?

Problem with USB port in HP 15-G009AX

I have a HP 15-G009AX notebook with windows 8.1 (64 bit). Previously all USB ports were working fine when I had the 32 bit version of windows 8.1. After installing the 64 bit version, one of the USB 2.0 ports on the right hand side is not working properly. When I plug in an external HDD, there is no response at all from the system (the HDD light does come on). Also, when I plug in a USB mouse, it gives me an Error 43 ( says "Device decryptor request failed" in Device manager ). I have tried uninstalling all USB devices and restared my laptop several times. My sister has the same laptop which had Windows 8.1 32 bit earlier on which I installed Windows 8.1 64 bit and all the ports are working fine on that. kindly do help me out.

Hello @rajeshdubal ,
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
I understand a USB port is not working on your computer, due to a 43 error in Device Manager. This error normally indicates a that the device has failed, for one reason or another. I will see what I can suggest!
If you follow the steps in this Microsoft document, you should be able to fix this error: Code 43: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems
If that doesn't help, you may want to reinstall the OS. A problem may have occurred because something went wrong with the installation of Windows 8.1 64-bit.
Please let me know your results. Thanks!

Problem with USB speakers and new Mac Mini

I have a USB sound system consisting of a pair of Harman Kardon soundsticks and a woofer from probably 10 years ago (bought and used originally with a Mac). I have tried driving it my new Mac Mini. It works fine for about a minute; then the music stops. Here's what I've tried to diagnose the problem:
1. The problem does not occur when these speakers are driven from my Macbook Air (about 3 years old).
2. The OS and iTunes software is up to date on both machines (10.9.5 and 12.0.1.26).
3. It does not depend on which USB port I use on the Mac Mini.
4. Using a port on a USB extender on the Mac Mini does not solve the problem.
5. The iTunes Preference settings are the same on both machines.

Sorry, no actual experience with USB Audio devices.
I found this in the Pro forum, but the outlook doesn't seem good:
