Recognition connectivity

For some reason my iPod is no longer recognised by iTunes on the computer I have always used! I have been going round in circles and going fairly demented trying to fix this. I just want to sych a couple of new playlists I made on to my iPod but it just says there is no ipod connection.
Help anyone?

Are you connected via USB cable or wirelessly?
Faulty USB cable?
Faulty iPod?
What is the exact error (if any) or does the iPod just not appear at all?
Try rebooting both iPod and Mac.

No recognition connecting w530 to Samsung Smart TV

Hello Everybody,
Im having issues trying to connect my computer to my smart tv. I have a new samsung smart tv and a thinkpad w530. I also have a 15ft mini displayport to HDMI cable (NOT converter just cable) from monoprice I just got in the mail today. Set windows 8 up to duplicate the screen. Neither the computer or the monitor can recognize that they are connected to something else... very frustrating. I am trying suggestions in other threads to no avail.... I feel like im using my left hand here too because I used linux for like 3 years before I got this new computer. I don't think I really know my way aroun windows 8 enough so I might be missing some very useful settings.
EDIT: want to add specifically what I have tried. I tried changing graphics mode to discrete in BIOS. Have set up screen to duplicate, not extend or anything. Fixed resolution of separate screens back to normal (when I set to multiple monitors it shoots me down to the lowest one). I also checked (via the control panel) for new NVIDIA drivers. It said i already had the latest. Im having a hard time finding the specific driver I need for the displayport for thr w530. If you can provide this link, please do! I can't find it and it may end up helping me.
I think what I have tried to far will make sure it works once I get it to recognize the TV. But it hasn't done anything to make me recognize the tv. I want this to work very badly!
Thanks for any help,
Caitlin
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Works perfectly. Tested in both clone mode (both laptop screen and TV) and TV-only (laptop disabled). Did not try extend mode double-wide desktop), as I wouldn't normally want to operate that way with a laptop, but since all other modes operated perfectly I'm confident that extend mode would also have done so.
NOTE: Win7 Pro x64, nVidia 333.11 driver, "discrete graphics" enabled in BIOS.
With the W530 and 65VT50 powered off, I connected the miniDP->HDMI cable from W530 to HDMI4 on my 65VT50. Then I powered on the TV.
Then I powered on the W530 (configured for boot screen to laptop LCD as always). Once the boot process completed, the Windows Welcome screen was present on both the laptop and the VT50. Obviously the external TV had been recognized, and nVidia control panel (333.11) had automatically gone into "clone mode", with monitor 1 (laptop) being duplicated onto monitor 2 (TV). I run with "discrete graphics" in the BIOS, and latest 333.11 nVidia driver installed.
After signing in to Windows, I noticed that "overscan" setting on the TV (for HDMI4) was wrong, and that the outer edge of the Windows desktop was not visible. A quick visit to Setup on the TV, to change this from 95% to 100% solved that one, and the entire Windows desktop was now 100% visible.
I then visited nVidia Control panel and disabled the laptop, using only the TV.
I also visited the speaker icon in System Tray -> playback devices, and selected the TV's speakers rather than the laptop speakers.
I had to enable the TV's speakers with its audio setup, as I normally use an external sound system. But this worked perfectly and I was able to get sound from the TV when playing video, system sounds, etc, exactly as expected.
Finally, just to confirm that the laptop was sending out 1080p to the TV, I double-checked in nVidia Control Panel:
I also confirmed on the TV itself (with the "info" button) and sure enough the TV was receiving 1080p from the laptop.
So... works perfectly for me, with my Panny 65VT50. Now I did have to enable HDMI4 of course (as I normally have all HDMI inputs other than HDMI1 disabled, since that's all I ever use in my home theater setup).
Not one single hiccup or issue. W530 (243852U) + K1000M.

Hello again, this is related to previous post (Re Yot instead of You) + other bits
I have looked at a lot of posts on this forum/help site and a fair few problems on a fair few phones are sorted by the *#7370# reset. As well as Yot instead of You, mine has also developed a "Switch itself off at random glitch" + lists keep freezing on me.

hi sunnymui
this is a type of security check from the laptop. just when the laptop asks u to enter a passcode, enter any password u want " for example 00", after doing so, ur phone will show a message demanding the password, then u enter the same password u entered in ur laptop " in my example 00" , and vice versa
I hope it works and let me know
Phones I bought from 1st till now:

Bluetooth and motorola e770 "unable to validate device" ???

hey everyone --
did some hunting online this morning and see that quite a few people have been having trouble connecting their motorola phones to their ibooks. i have a g4 with os x 10.4 and a motorola e770 (vodafone spain). after pairing correctly the phone and the ibook, i tried to send a file (.mp3 and later a .jpeg) and got the error "unable to validate device". I have no idea why it won't work, considering the computer recognizes the motorola and vice versa.
tried restaring both phone and ibook and uninstalling/reinstalling the bluetooth recognition/connection. no luck. anyone have any advice??

oh i must tell you all that this is the worste phone i ever owned, and ive read many people saying that motorola is nothing but garbage these days.
the phone does various noticable things at glance, like freezes up when switching between menues after a few times for a few minutes , not one but few, and if you hit any buttons the one that seems to work the best in waking it up is the one for the web, and that costs 30 cents at starts, this happened 11 times, cant help it since the same button has several functions, beware that the screen changes menu options for that button.
i recomend you take that phone back and smqack the guy who sold it to you, this way retail clerks have more sense then to lie thourgh there teeth about such a phone, its a sham.

Lost mouse connection. Replaced batteries but still no recognition. Advice?

I had a message saying 'Lost connection' with mouse icon.
I replaced batteries but still no recognition.
Advice?

First make sure the batteries aren't dead and that the keyboard hasn't already been paired with another device that's in range. If it hasn't, the keyboard should pair automatically when you reboot. You may have to press and hold the power button on the right side of an Apple keyboard until the LED starts flashing.
Otherwise see these support articles:
Mac mini (Mid 2011 and later) and iMac (Late 2012): Bluetooth keyboard may not pair during Setup Assistant
Apple Wireless Keyboard: Difficulty during pairing process
If you have a third-party Bluetooth keyboard, you may need a wired keyboard to complete the pairing process. It's a good idea to keep a cheap wired keyboard and mouse or trackball as backups for a desktop Mac anyway, because Bluetooth isn't completely reliable.

Voice recognition creates text twice over RDP connection

Using an IPad 3 to connect to a Windows 7 Pro desktop and text repeats each time using voice recognition to create text in Outlook or Word. It only creates text one time locally. Just happens over RDP.
Any suggestions?
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Rus, I've had similar issues on my iPhone 5. I was having issues that some people on my contact list just weren't getting my texts. I could text them before I got the iPhone and they received them no problem but now it wouldn't go through. Like you the phone said it went through but they never received them. I could receive their texts and even if I replied to their texts, they didn't receive it. I could call them though. I contacted Verizon and Apple but they we no help. What I figured out on my own was that if I deleted their contact from my address book and added it back in fresh, the problem was solved. It's happened to me with 4 different people that were in my contacts already and I deleted them and added them back in and it works fine now. What I believe was happening was I came from a non-smartphone. To transfer my contacts over I downloaded Verizon's contact transfer app on my old phone and uploaded them to it. When my new iPhone 5 came in I downloaded the same app and used it to transfer my contacts to my new phone. I think some of them got corrupted for some reason during the process. I don't know for sure if this is what was happening but since non of the new contacts that I added in after I got the iPhone have any problems I'm guessing I'm right. My concern still is that I will continue to find people in my address book that wont' get my texts and I just won't know it for sure. Good luck!

Slew of Problems with iTunes--Bonjour Service, Ipod Touch Recognition, iTunes Store Connectivity

Connection to the iTunes store is unsuccessful, when iTunes is enabled in the windows firewall. All the services iTunes needs to run, are running successfully. The sole exception being Bonjour, which iTunes doesn't seem to realize is running. I've verified the service to be running, and have restarted it. Additionally, mDNSresponder.exe is not running under task manager. Manually starting it from Bonjour's file directory doesn't work, either. I've changed my "hosts" file, and still no luck. I've also changed a couple of Internet Explorer internet properties, and the unsuccessful connectivity doesn't change. I've reinstalled the whole line of Apple software, without a change in results. Reboots are just as unsuccessful.
Ultimately, my problem is neither iTunes nor Windows recognizes my iPod Touch, whereas my old Nano used to work fine. On other computers, iTunes is fine. The problem is on this one, and whether it's an Apple or Windows problem, I don't know. Hopefully someone here can help me out, as I would be immensely appreciative.

One step forward?
I'd like to doublecheck something you mentioned earlier:
I've verified the service to be running, and have restarted it. Additionally, mDNSresponder.exe is not running under task manager.
When you were in the processes tab, did you have "Show processes from all users" checked, as per the following screenshot? (mDNSresponder.exe runs under SYSTEM, so you don't see it in there unless that box is checked.)

DVD Player Recognition and Connection

When I insert a DVD into the built-in Toshiba DVD Player in my laptop, a message comes up saying that the drive is not found or recognized. It is not listed in the device manager listing in the Control Panel either. How do I get this drive recognized and/or connected so it functions. Thanks, JTC

Hi Ktydd,
I'm also using Vista for the system. I did resolve the problem after sending the inquiry. I used the "ACTION" settings on the DVD player itself and set the drive to "D". I also ran the antivirus scan and maintenance actions allowed by McAfee. After rebooting twice, the drive was recognized and it is working fine now. Hope this helps.

Apple Base Station Connection/Recognition Problem

I have just purchased a Airport base station to use as a replacement for another router which has died. I have gone through the set-up routine, double and triple checked my connections and despite it all, I cannot connect to the Internet nor can I reestablish a wireless network within my home. All the lights on the base station are appropriately lit as per the manual. When I connect my internet connection directly to my iMac I have no problem accessing the Net.
My iMac does not appear to recognize the base station. Can anyone give me any troubleshooting tips as to how I can reestablish my wireless network and also connect my iMac directly to the Net. It should not be so much trouble to do so with all Apple equipment.
Thank-you.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Gary as you say it shouldn't be this much of a problem with all Apple equipment.
However sometimes after doing one thing or another you will need to do a system reset to make it work.
Normally you simply connect from the Modem they furnised you to the WAN port on an Airport Extreme Base station that is the port with the circle of dots, and the port with the 2 arrows pointing away from one another is for plugging in a hardwired computer.
It should be set up for the Airport to DHCP and it should assign IP's
Most of us that use the Airport Extreme or Express Base Stations use the Airport Set-up Assistant and Airport Admin Utility Software that comes with your Mac with Airport technology.
Often times if your confiquration is correct, and if you have a Power blip or you loose the connection there is a correct way to reset your system when about all else fails, and that is first turn off your computer.
Next pull the Power adapter from the back of both your Modem and the Airport Base.
Next is normally the hardest part because when this happens we are normally mad enough to throw it all out the window from jacking with it for an hour or 2.
You have to wait at least 5 minutes.
After your wait.
Plug in the power adapter to the Modem and wait until it reaquires the signal and depending on the modem they furnished you want 3 lights from left to right.
After you get this far and all looks ok you can plug in the Power Adapter to the Airport Base and again you must wait for the lights and signal, this will also take about a minute. NOTE: If you get in to big a hurry and don't let the equipment do it's work you will have to repeat to get it to work properly.
Now that you have both of these up and running you can restart your computer. This is the recommended reset by almost all Modem and Router Manufactures.
You should be good to go.

IPhone connectivity and recognition as a device by MacPro

As opposed to past recognition, my MacPro does not recognize as a device, my iPhone 5, when I USB it to the computer. Previously, the computer would list the iPhone under "Devices", open software, run a couple of programs, check the phone software, sync everything etc. Now under "Devices", it lists only my int. & ext. HD's, not the iPhone and none of the software poorly described above appears. Perhaps all is happening thru WiFi and the cloud but I would like to be sure.
I have shut down and unplugged the phone and the computer, replugged and restarted, without change. Any ideas? reassurances?
Many thanks.

Try downloading iTunes and re-install it over the existing. No need to delete iTunes first.

I just received the Mifi2200 and I was able to get one of my computers online without it being plugged into the USB port. This computer runs on Windows 7. My other computer (Windox XP) however only works when it is plugged into the USB port. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several time with no luck. Please someone give me some advice on what to do!!!! Thanks

Ipod touch can no longer connect to XP following Apple upgrade, HELP !

This is a nightmare. My son has an ipod touch (8gb)purchased a couple of months, and it's been fine until a couple of days ago. I downloaded some music for him, and just about to synch when Apple informed me on itunes of a software upgrade, so naturally I did this. However, it could not complete it saying there was a problem installing the hardware. The ipod then had a permanent picture of a usb cable pointing towards the itunes logo. Itunes no longer recognises this ipod or my own ipod as a device.
I'm not a techhie expert, but I generally know my way around computers, however I could not resolve this.
I called the Apple technical support desk, where I spent 1 hour 45 minutes with 2 different advisors who could not resolve this. We installed and re-installed various components from drivers to itunes to anti virus software, however nothing could change. There was simply no recognition of the ipod at all when connected.It does give a pop up message to restore the ipod, however you can't actually click on the restore button because to have to get rid of the pop up message first, then the screen with the restore facility disappears.
Windows xp is continually popping up a message saying " FOUND NEW HARDWARE WIZARD There was a problem installing this hardware. Apple Mobile USB driver. An error occured during the installation of the device. The system cannot find the file specified."
You then have to click on finish, however the message keeps coming back. We kept going round and round in circles with the technical support people, where it was left that I should start removing programmes on my computer to see if any of those are causing a problem. I have had the same spyware for the last 12 months now and never had a problem before, nor any other programmes.
I booked a genius appointment at my local Apple store today where the assistant reset the ipod to factory settings so it could at least work. I explained the situation, however 15 minutes was never going to be long enough to look into it, and a restore was all they did. Obviously all of my programmes were lost, however when I got home and plugged it back into the computer again, it could not be recognised by itunes and i got the same pop up message. Luckily we have not spent alot on downloads, however my son has lost his music now and it cannot be connected or upgraded. It's under guarantee however a software upgrade by Apple has totally messed my computer up. I really don't know who to turn to now as both the service support and store has not rectified this, something I feel has been caused by Apple.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
