Speaker system no longer recognizes my ipod

Wondering if others have run into a similar situation and if there's an easy fix -- I have previously used an Altech-Lansing speaker system with my iPod classic very successfully. Now all of a sudden when I connect my iPod it tells me the accessory is unsupported. I can't seem to get it to work at all. Only change is that I recently added some songs/updated my library, but wouldn't think this should affect anything.
Would be very happy to get feedback from anyone out there who has encountered something like this recently...

Perhaps something in this article can help: iPod does not appear in iTunes or iPod updater in Mac OS X Products Affected
Have you tried a simple hard reset of the device with it still connected to your Mac? To do this, first make sure the hold switch is in the off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

After upgrading to Mavericks, my computer no longer recognizes my ipod.

After upgrading to Mavericks, my computer no longer recognizes my ipod. Screen lights up when it's plugged in, but it doesn't get to the "connected" state and it doesn't show up on my computer, in the /Volumes folder or in iTunes. This has only started happening after I upgraded to Mavericks.

I should also note, that I have restarted my computer and ipod multiple times and have attempted restarting the SMC on my mac, as per
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
all with no luck.
Also, I have updated to the most recent version of iTunes and have checked that the USB ports are being read correctly through the System Profiler. I have also plugged the ipod into the same ports that worked with my keyboard and mouse, with no different results.

Windows 7 64bit no longer recognizes my iPod as of iTunes 10

So as of 3 iTunes updates ago, which would be iTunes 10, my computer with windows 7 64bit no longer recognizes my iPod clickwheel, telling me the device has malfunctioned.. which it hasn't it works just fine with my windows XP pro machine. I tried updating the ipod's drivers and that didn't work, since the drivers are up to date for it.

Looks like the USB Driver is gone. Windows doesn't seem to recognize the iPod touch.

My computer no longer recognizes my iPod Touch. And the iPod Touch does not recognize that it is connected to a computer.

My computer no longer recognizes my iPod Touch. And the iPod Touch does not recognize that it is connected to a computer. It has worked great for many days until today.
I’ve tried two different Apple cables.
I’ve tried different USB ports on the computer.
I have rebooted both the Mac and the iPod.
I’ve wiggled the cables and checked for dust in the connectors.
The iPod charges using this same cable connected to wall wart. That’s a good sign.
Both the Mac and iPod seem to work fine separate from each other. They just won’t talk anymore.
Mac mini
1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo
OS 10.4.11
iTunes 9.2.1
iPod Touch 32GB, version 3.1.3 (7E18), model PB533LL

I found this possible solution on another support thread, so I tried it.
turn off iPod
hold Sleep and Home buttons to start it.
When Apple appears, let go of Sleep button, but keep holding Home button.
When screen goes blank, let go of Home button.
Connect cable and check iTunes to see if it has conencted.
This did not work for me.
I then turned off the iPod, restarted the Mac, and restarted the iPod normally.
I connected them with the cable, and it works like normal. :-)

Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My pc no longer recognizes my ipod. What can I do

My pc will no longer recognize my ipod touch. I looked in my computer not there. ITunes does not see it either. However, when I unplug it from my pc I get the usual sound of hardwear being disconnected. Any ideas on how to get my pc to see my IPod?

Try putting it on Recovery mode then restore it..
Press or Hold the power and home keys 10 seconds.
Screen goes black, now release the power button
Make sure you do not release the Home key until
your iTunes says "We have detected an itouch
in recovery mode."
After this its simple all you
got to do is a simple restore using your iTunes

Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the iPod Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the iPod On...

ITunes crashed and will no longer recognize my iPod Touch!

My new computer crashed last night while my iPod Touch was in the process of Syncing with my iTunes account. When it came back up it had to try and recover my iTunes Library. After it did I had to go into my stuff and find all my music and re-add it to my iTunes Library. That wasn't too much of a problem, I've got back all of my songs, but my apps are all gone and when I try to Sync my iPod Touch with my iTunes Library it gives me a message saying that my iPod Touch is Synced with another iTunes Library and can only be Synced with one at a time so I need to erase my iPod's memory and reload everything from my computer. The problem is that since it doesn't have any of my apps on there it would completely erase all of my apps and any data I have on them. So what I want to find out is how I can get it to recognize my iPod Touch again, or if there is a way I can save all of my app data from my iPod Touch and then reset my iPod Touch so that it will recognize it again and then just Sync it again to get all my app data back that would be great too. I just don't want to lose anything. I have seen several similar issues but nothing that really seemed to be the right fix for my particular issue so any help will be greatly apprediated!
Thanks,
L.M.

- Transfer itunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- You can also redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- When they are in your iTunes library, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.

Windows no longer recognizes my ipod.

i plug my ipod into the usb port of my toshiba laptop
it's an ipod click wheel 20g.
the ipod says: charging. it does not say do not disconnect, it just charges as if i plugged it into power.
my computer refuses to recognize the ipod
i have done everything the apple site recommends... reset the computer. i have disabled and then re-enabled usb drives. told windows not to shut down usb drives to save power. etc. i am absolutely sure that "ipod service" is running. i have put ipod into disk mode, but can't restore it cuz my computer won't recognize it in the first place.
i don't know what else to try... my computer+itunes were recognizing the ipod fine a few weeks ago but now it completely ignores the ipod.
any help, advice, or suggestions is much appreciated

I had the same problem some months ago, tried
everything but nothing worked. So I went to the store
and got a new one cos it was still covered by my
warranty
I'm having similar problems. Win 2000, svc pk 4, 4th Gen iPod w/click wheel. Everything fine until I updated to iTunes 7. My PC sees the iPod as an external drive but iTunes doesn't. In fact, iTunes won't even open if the Pod is plugged in. If I launch iTunes, then plug in the Pod, iTunes freezes. My answer, get the **** off Windows 2000. While Microsoft keeps supporting 2000, other developers like Apple just aren't. It works on my computer only under iTunes 4.2, so that tells me that nobody really
tested the latest on 2000.
