Strange USB problem

I recently returned my iPod photo. When copying songs onto the replacement it couldn't stay connected to my PC for more than about 15 minutes - which is a problem when you are trying to sync an entire 60GB.
Anyway the old iPod had some USB issues, so I continued on thinking that perhaps it was my computer's fault. It's gotten worse recently and often when I connect the iPod the computer can't recognize it at all.
Today I was updating my friend's 60GB video iPod and it suddenly hit me that it has no such USB problems and works perfectly - on the same cable.
My iTunes library is on my WindowsXP PC, but I also have an iBook. As a test I decided to see how the iPods worked with it. Both work perfectly on the same USB cable!
so, I have a photo iPod that doesn't work with my Windows PC, but works perfectly with my iBook, and a video iPod that works perfectly with both.
Any ideas as to what could be wrong? I'm tempted to take it to the Apple store, but I guess they only have Apple computers to test it on, and so will tell me nothing's wrong with it.

haha, I went back and was advised to reinstall Windows! I like to think of myself as quite decent at managing my computer, however my last reinstall of windows was well over a year ago, so I thought "why not?".
I'm now all reinstalled, and the iPod has just been connected. It's now trying to sync a full 60GB, I'll check in on it again tomorrow morning

Strange USB problem with 23" ACD: Please help

Okay I will take you through my entire experience and then if you have any ideas what the problem(s) could be, I am in serious need of assistance.
I have had a Mac Pro and 23" ACD for about 6 months now. Everything has worked beautifully. Then, last Saturday, I go to type on my keyboard (connected to ACD's USB), and it does not work. I plug the keyboard into the tower, it works. I try moving the ACD's USB connector to various ports on the Mac Pro, and nothing fixes the problem. But the USB ports work with any other device. So I think my monitor is bad and I take it to the Apple Store. He plugs my monitor into a MacBook Pro and it works just fine. So I go home and plug it back into my Mac Pro and it still does not work. Then I tried to reset the PRAM and NVRAM - this fixed the problem - temporarily. Things worked again for about two days and then the problem returned, this time not resolved by resetting the PRAM/NVRAM.
Out of curiosity, I plugged my ACD into my PowerBook and the ACD's USB ports worked fine, so I assumed I must have an issue with my Mac Pro's USB ports not giving enough power. A phone call to Apple Care supported this theory, and I am scheduled to bring my tower into the Apple Store.
But then today, just as a last minute check, I plugged my ACD back into my PowerBook to make sure that the problem is really in my Mac Pro. This time, the USB's did not work, even when plugged into the PowerBook. I tried moving my ACD's power cord to a different outlet, and then the USB ports worked. I thought this might have been the problem all along, so I plug things back into my Mac Pro - does not work. I take them back to the PowerBook, now it does not work.
I am completely confused by this because it is like sometimes the ACD's USB's work, sometimes not. I cannot figure this out... where is the problem... in my Mac Pro or in my Cinema Display? This is so frustrating.
Also, since this problem has surfaced, I no longer have control of brightness of my display from within OS X (10.5.4) and it appears that OS X is not seeing this monitor as being an ACD but rather a regular monitor.
Please, anyone, what do I do? I do not even know how to diagnose this problem anymore.

Strange USB problem with my E540 (20C600JHFR)

Hello !
I've this nice piece of gear since a fortnight.
Yesterday I was doing Windows 7 updates and got a blue screen pertaining to a power problem on a device (I did not note anything about this BSOD thinking it was updates related.)
This night I noticed that, laptop turned off my Evoluent vertical mouse (to prevent rist problems) was turned ON ! And it was not on the port dedicated to this behavior.
This morning, upon power up on battery, I've seen that the laptop is 60 % instead of the 100 % it should have having spent all Sunday on mains.
So I went into the BIOS and turned OFF all things USB pertaining to power., and turned the laptop OFF with the mouse plugged. Still having power !
So what's wrong ? What should I check ?
Many thanks in advance for your help !
P.S. : my laptop is dual boot (Win 7 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS which I mainly use)

Hi -- I use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my E540, too ... and I avoid ever using Windows, and try to never allow Windows to connect to the Internet. I am keeping Windows around until I am sure I won't need to install a BIOS or get warranty service or something.
I just had a look at the User Manual (installed as a .pdf file on your computer, or downloadable from the Lenovo web site), and saw this about the Always On USB connector. This is the one next to the DVD drive:
[1] Always-on USB connector (USB 2.0 connector)
By default, the Always On Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector enables you to charge some mobile digital
devices and smartphones in the following situations:
• When your computer is on or in sleep mode
• When your computer is in hibernation mode or is turned off, but connected to ac power
If you want to charge these devices when your computer is in hibernation mode or is turned off, and the
computer is not connected to ac power, do the following:
• For Windows 7: Start the Power Manager program and click the Global Power Settings tab. Then
select the Enable USB charge from the computer battery even when the computer is off check
box, and click OK or Apply.
• For Windows 8 and Windows 8.1: Press the Windows key to go to the Start screen. Click Lenovo
Settings ➙ Power. Then select Enable USB charge from the computer battery even when the
computer is off check box under Always On USB.
Note: When you attach a USB cable to this USB connector, ensure that the USB mark is facing upward.
Otherwise the connector might be damaged.
UPDATE: I also found the Always On setting at the back of the manual on p.129 -- it's adjustable in the ThinkPad Setup program. You can get to it from the menu when you first turn on your computer (keep pressing Enter while the screen says Lenovo ThinkPad, and you'll hear a BEEP (unless you turned off the beep) and get a list of options. press the appropriate F-key to get to the setup utility.
Did you completely wipe your hard drive when installing? IF the ThinkPad Setup is in the 17-GB recovery partition "partition # 3" at the end of the hard drive (I don't know whether it is or not) I don't know whether/how you can still get to the setup. Let me know!

FISR2 USB problems

I have a K8T Neo FISR2 mobo and am experiencing some strange USB problems. I have a DLink 7 port USB2.0 hub with a few things attached to it. That is the only usb item directly hooked up to my PC. When I first start up the machine, about 50% of the time the usb doesn't seem to be connect to the hub. The green lights go on as the PC boots, but once it gets into Windows, they go out and nothing appears connected. If I unplug the hub and plug it back in again, I can usually get the PC to recognize the hub and the devices connected to it. I have tried moving the hub to different ports on the PC and re-installing the drivers, but neither of those seem to fix the problem.
Any ideas?
Ryan

Because I like having the USB ports accessible as opposed to moving the PC everytime I want to remove or add a device.
Plus it doesn't really make a difference. I had a friends external USB hard drive hooked up directly to the back and XP didn't recognize that either.
It's almost like XP is shutting off the USB ports.

Strange shutdown problem

Hi,
Last night, I had a strange shutdown problem on my iMac G5 (revB, 20", 2.0 Gig), with 1 Gig RAM, running 10.4.4 with all updates. I had had the computer on most of the day, using it off and on. I shut it down, and left the room. When I came back about an hour later, the fans were running (not rapidly, just at the normal speed they run when the computer is running), but the screen was blank, and the "sleep" light was not on. The computer wouldn't respond to any moving the mouse or to keyboard input. I finally shut it down by holding the power button until the fans shut down. Upon restart, everything was normal, and after using it for a few minutes, I was able to shut it down normally. Has anyone else seen this sort of behavior, and is it normal ? Or am I about to have more problems.
Thanks in advance,
Dave Fritzinger
Honolulu, HI

Hi Dave,
By the sound of it your computer has "hung" during the shutdown process, but at a point in the process where the system's temperature control mechanisms were still operating (otherwise the fans would be running flat out). My guess in this case is that it was probably actually a finder crash.
Various things can prevent proper shutdown. Often USB or FW devices are to blame. USB adsl modems , some scanners and hubs and the occasional printer driver seem to be common causes. Software can be responsible too, though - background virus or drive checkers are probably the most common, but far from the only possible causes ( I seem to remember "SpringCleaning" causing this problem when people moved to Tiger 10.4.2 for example) .
New software or hardware are therefore the first things to look for.
If you haven't installed anything completely new then one possibility may be that something you are using is not compatible with the latest OS update, and needs an upgrade to a driver. Its also possible that this is a "one off" glitch caused by a temporary problem , but if it happens again I'd be taking careful note of anything that you were using in the previous session.
You might also want to use the Console (in Utilities folder) to look at your system and crash logs.
Cheers
Rod

MSI RS480M2 - USB Problems - RS480M2 USB

Anyone having any strange behavior using wireless USB kb and / or USB mouse on the MSI RS480 board?
I have 100% failure rate using 3 different wireless keyboards... The only way to fix is to reboot the system which will reestablish the connectivity. then in about 1-3 days I loose the wireless kb connection. USB trackball mouse is fine except for some studdering.
this is killing me - but I'm hopeful a bios fix or something related to my setup could be to blame. Anyone? Moderators? The MSI quality seems very very good. Should I contact MSI support?
I use bios rev. 3.2
specs:
a64 3200 939; msi rs480; corsair xms3200 1gb; x700pro 256mb; pioneer dvd108; wd 200gb 8mb cache; silverstone LC11 w/ 240W tfx w/ pfc, 3.3v @18A, 5v @19A, 12v @16A

I do have a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse, but have them connected PS/2. I'll test them in USB when I get a chance. I usually avoid USB when PS/2 ports are present.....It just seems to avoid problems.
I haven't had any problems with the USB 2.0 Flash memory reader on USB internal. No systems log errors to indicate any type of USB problem. I've even booted from the Flash (I posted a thread on that result). I tried a USB 1.1 CAM on all the ports front and back to verify they were working, but not any prolonged tests. Sounds like more testing is needed.
I have seen mention (during google searches on the chipset) of a possible issue with ATI's USB having problems. ATI seems to have licensed alot of what's integrated on the SB400 from others, so I check who and what on the USB. Drivers are always a possibility. I do have XP-SP2 installed.
Danno
Edit: OK...you guys got me concerned enough that I just switch to USB on keyboard and mouse. They detected and installed fine. I'll let you know if it fails in the next hour. I'll try Sleep mode and return too.
Edit2: Sleep works...no problem other than it asks what I wanted to do when I hit the Sleep button on the keyboard. I use a "giggle" on the mouse to return from sleep. I looked at the USB vendor codes and they're ATI's. It's using the standard generic SP2 drivers. Other than waiting, any way to MAKE IT FAIL? I will stay with USB for the next few days and report back any problems.
Edit3: Since there's no room in my profile, here's the link to my keyboard-mouse.

thx Dannol48, I use logitech elite, memorex, msft black standard wireless, even a phillips wireless kb. all work great... then after 1-3 days I need to reboot.
I run MS XP MCE2005 w/ Ms remote + at least 4 other USB devices attached besides the wireless KB. the usb trackball (MSFT thumb ball) mouse is attached via a USB hub I velcro'd to my couch. I operate this 20ft away from the TV - which is the only display device. I've loaded the OS 3X now trying to isolate if it's the OS w/ no change.
I've been using a very similar setup to above for about 4 years now. never had an issue like this. It could be ATI issue... or BIOS? i dunno.

Strange wifi problem on a brand-new MacBook Pro

Hey there, I'm new here. Desperation has got the better of me, and I hope I can get some advice.
So, last sunday I bought a brand new 13" MacBookPro with 2.8g i7 processor and 10.7.2 OS (I can't update to 10.7.4 because System Update tells me the download has been tampered with or corrupted after I waited 2 hours for it to finish, but I'm trying a direct download from the website). Here's the exact product: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MacBook-MD314LL-13-3-Inch-VERSION/dp/B005CWIZ4O/ref= sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1340301247&sr=8-5&keywords=macbook+pro+13
Everything is all perfect except for a strange wifi problem. Note that the wifi does not turn-on or off, it doesn't disconnect after 'sleep', it doesn't get less speed, it doesn't constantly leave a preferred connection (once I chose my home wifi it always connects to it no problem). The wifi bar is always full. What is wrong is that the internet is kinda 'glitchy'. The best metaphor I can think of is that it's like a car that has to be pushed down the road before the engine can start. Please, bear with me because this is kinda hard to explain and I'm not good at tech lingos.
One of the symptoms is browsing can get really slow and inconsistent, almost as if the wifi gets turned off in the middle of browsing. For example: if I look something up on Google and then open 5 new tabs, probably only 2 or 3 of those tabs will eventually load while the other two will not get past the long 'http:.......google.....etc etc' address and will eventually show one of those 'error loading page because there's no Internet connection' notice. This happens a lot. Sometimes I have to refresh/retry loading a page a couple of times before it finally loads, then usually everything will get back to normal and I will be able to open multiple tabs with no problem, but in a couple of minutes I would try to open another site and the problem will start again.
So I tried to see how it does with downloading using iGetter. Fortunately I also have a Macbook (white-plastic casing one) and my brother has an old 2006 MacbookPro so I can compare. With those two older Apples iGetter starts receiving data in less than 8 seconds after I click Start, while my brand-new Macbook Pro can take up to 15-20 seconds, sometimes it doesn't even start at all and I have to re-click the start button. But once the download actually starts (on my new MacBook Pro), it downloads like normal, it doesn't stop and the speed is also as good as I can get. Strange huh? Hence, like a car that has to be pushed before the engine starts.
I also tried 'speed testing' from a website with all 3 laptops. On my old MacBook and my brother's MacBook pro, once I click 'begin test' it takes only a couple of seconds of 'ping' before the download/upload speed measurements start, but with my new MacBook Pro (just like with iGetter) it takes up to almost a minute before the measurements start, sometimes it won't start at all and I have to re-start the test.
Well, thanks for reading. And hope you can help me shed some light into this. Because it is really preventing me from really enjoying my new MacBook Pro. And if this is most likely a hardware problem, I'd better get back to the store and try to get it replace or something while it's only been 5 days. *cheers*

Hey guys.. Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, I bought the MacBook in Indonesia where there are no such thing as an AppleCare. The only option is to leave the Apple product to one of the 'Authorized Apple care centre' and have whoever do whatever to it without guarantee of success. As for returning it and getting a brand new one, I also don't know if there is such a deal here, but that's actually a good idea, will try to go to the store tomorrow. Although, I'm worried that the problem might be with OSX Lion or something and getting a new one won't help.
mark75090, I've tried resetting the router when I first noticed te problem, didn't work though. I've checked my new MacBook's wi-fi (option+click wifi bar) and it says 'PHY Mode: 802.11g', so does my MacBook and the old MacBook Pro. I don't know what those mean though, and I don't know whether or not my router is an N., can you tell me more please.. I have tried with the other two turned off, and only the new MacBook using the wi-fi but the problem persists. I have also tried connecting directly to the router, but as I described, the problem is too subtle for me to notice the difference.
Also, if I create a brand new Wi-Fi connection in network preferences and connect to my router through the new Wi-Fi profile, the problem seems to be gone for an hour or so, then it always comes back though. I have also just finally installed 10.7.4, but it doesn't help either.

USB problems since EFI firmware update 2.6

My MBA has been suffering USB problems since this update.
I have an IOGear USB 3 GUH374 hub. I connect my iPad mini and USB 3 disk to it.
Since the update, the iPad has stopped charging through the hub. Now, I can't find the power specs of the hub, so I don't know that it should work, but it was working fine. Now, the iPad says "not charging".
The USB disk has spontaneously disconnected a few times, with the system reporting that it was improperly disconnected. One time, the disk was corrupted.
This could be a coincidence, so I've contacted IOGear. But, I'm also having new, different, sleep problems with the MBA and Mountain Lion.

MAC PRO USB Problem - Traced to bad Apple Keyboard Extension Cable

I found a fix to a problem synching to my itunes Library on my early 2008 MAC PRO. The Apple supplied USB extension cable for the keyboard was defective.
The symptoms were hangs in itunes and finder synching to iPods and transferring data to USB hard drives. The iPods and hard drives never lost power and no errors/log entries were made. The transfers simply stalled and would not continue. itunes and finder would hang until the drive or ipod was removed. These devices were installed directly to USB ports on the MAC PRO. No other USB devices were connected except for the aluminum keyboard and mighty mouse; the mouse was connected to the keyboard. The keyboard was connected using the USB extension cable that shipped with the MAC PRO.
Hardware diagnostics were all clear. The keyboard and mouse never had any connection problems. Only itunes syncs and hard drive copies would fail; these would occur at random times. I had an open ticket with Apple to have the logic board replaced as it was diagnosed to be a hardware/USB problem.
Removal or replacement of the extension cable on the keyboard (which was connected to a different USB port and NOT in the USB chain with the ipod and hard drives) permanently fixed the problem. I cancelled the Apple HW replacement.
I have noted several posts with others having problems with USB ports and devices. I wonder if Apple has an unknown problem with bad keyboard extension cables.

I think you may be onto something there. I'm just a few weeks into my second Mac Pro and again it's having the same USB problems which led Apple to give me a replacement machine previously. I went through several weeks of considerable testing with Apple Engineers prior to that - an Apple Care application to collect data from my machine, Apple Developer USB prober and two clean installs. The latest machine initially showed no sign of the problem then it started again - 2 iPods "can not be read or written to" part way through sync, Aperture quitting importing from USB SD card reader, USB drives dismounting etc. So I pulled out the Aluminium keyboard and, lo and behold, the iPods managed to get all the way through synching without errors. I really like the alu keyboard so it's a huge shame that it might be the cause of all my problems so far - and the Mac Pro is otherwise a beautiful computer.
But is this really a hardware problem of the internal USB cards and power management or supply?

Very Strange Internet Problems

I own a MacBook Pro 15.4 Inch that I purchased about a year and a half ago. I recently upgraded to Leopard and have all the latest updates. I am from the US, and when I am home my internet works fine. However, I am on travel to Seoul, South Korea right now and am having a very strange internet problem.
As far as I can tell, the URLs that I type in to my browser are, sparodially, not translated correctly into the webpages that they are supposed to represent. This problem is probably effective 75% of the time, and the rest of the time my internet works roughly correctly. For instance, when I enter http://www.google.com, instead of being taken to the Google homepage, I am taking to the homepage of Jammin Beats DJ Service, an obscure website about a company in northern Pennsylvania. The actual URL of this website is http://www.jamminbeats.com, but when my internet is malfunctioning, 'jamminbeats' is for all intensive purposes replaced by 'google' (that is, it applies not only to the main page, but to sub pages, so "http://www.google.com/weddings" takes you to "http://www.jamminbeats.com/weddings" and etc). For most other webpages, one of two things happens. Either I am taken to the correct page but it is displayed without any images or frames (just the html text and links), or I am taken to a blank page with the header "Under Construction", which I assume is the default for a page that doesn't exist. This is why it seems as though the URLs are simply being interpretted erroneously.
This problem occurs when connecting both to the wireless and the wired internet at my hotel, and it occurs on both Safari and Firefox, so it is not a connection-specific or browser-specific problem. It may be a problem with the hotel's internet, and as of yet I have not had a chance to test the computer at another location. However, a colleague using an IBM computer has had no problems, and I am currently on a Samsung machine in the business center of the hotel and it is working correctly as well. I have searched extensively online for a similar problem but have come up empty handed, and more than anything, I am confused about what might be causing this problem. The strangest thing is that a fraction of the time, the internet functions normally, but it is usually roughly 15 minutes out of every hour, and eventually I am inevitably taken back to Jammin Beats.
I am a computer science graduate but I still have no idea what would cause this problem. At first I thought it might be a hacker, but if it is, he or she has been at it consistently for 3 days now, and only seems to be targeting my computer. Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated, as I have been forced to resort to the hotel's business center for checking email, doing work, etc. Thanks in advance.

I did consider that, as I was in Beijing last week and there are a number of censored sites. However, in Korea I have had problems with very basic sites like facebook, wall street journal, google, yahoo, Korean google, my hotel's webpage, etc. Further, I have successfully gotten all of these sites to load seemingly at random, and can access them without problems on other computers. The only disconnect seems to be between my MBP and the internet, not between Korean internet and the web. I have toyed around with the network settings, and although sometimes after switching from "Automatic" to a fixed connection I get some sites to work, it usually only lasts a short time and eventually the same sites stop working. I reset my cache regularly to make sure I'm not getting sent to cached sites, but this also doesn't help. Further, my Apple Mail, Skype and AIM accounts jump between being connected and disconnected randomly as well. Again, this is isolated to my own computer, which is why I'm so confused.

Strange email problem; it started only loading unread emails, but from 3 months ago. It is now loading new emails too, but no emails in the past month, read or unread. It's gmail, set up through the phone, I've restarted restored

Strange email problem; it started only loading unread emails, but from 3 months ago. It is now loading new emails too, but no emails in the past month, read or unread. It's gmail, set up through the phone, I've restarted restored and updated firmware, deleted the account, anything I could think of, but it's just not accurately downloading the most recent emails.

The answer is very simple: You were not the original owner of the phone. Target sold you a phone that had been returned. You can verify the date of the original sale here: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage. I suspect you will find that the warranty expiration date is not one year from the date that you bought it.

MS-6390: Return Of The USB Problem!

Almost a year ago I posted a thread regarding a USB problem in which after a few hours runtime, the USB ports stop working. Having reinstalled Windows, I followed the original thread to fix the problem again but this time, it hasn't work. The old thread for reference is; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=49727.0
but I shall try and include everything important here so it shouldn't be needed.
Firstly the nature of the problem;
Any new device plugged into them is not recognisied and Windows advises that it is the device that is malfunctioning.
Restarting the computer will eliminate the problem, however upon rebooting, the computer tends to get stuck at what may be the memory count. If left for 10 minutes, the memory amount comes up and the computer boots normally. This is circumvented by temporarily (one second) removing power to the power supply by pulling the plug or flicking the switch at the back.
[It may or may not be relevant that the HDD activity indicator is lit for approximately 30 seconds of this 10 minute period]
Upon switching the computer on again, the computer boots up normally and the USB ports continue to function for another variable period of time.
This problem occurs if there are no devices plugged into the USB, any single device (printer, gamepad, mobile phone) or any combination.
It should also be noted that if the computer crashes due to any of many unrelated reasons after this problem has arisen, and I use the reset button to make it reboot, the 10 minute reboot problem occurs again but appears differently on screen in that it actually says 'memory check' or words to that effect with a space where the normally RAM amount goes, a '+' and another empty space where the memory reserved for onboard graphics normally goes (i.e. memory check: + )
I've tried uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling those downloaded from VIAs website for my chipset.
My USB ports are set not to power down to save power in device manager.
The multi-card reader (plugged directly into the motherboard) also stops functioning when the USB ports go down - power light stays on, activity light stops flashing (occasionally power light turns off). Unplugging it from the motherboard does not resolve the issue.
I want to resolve this issue so the computer is trouble-free when I give it my mum to learn from.
Comp. specs in signature. Thanks in advance.

I don't know how to dig deeper... Soon this computer will only be using a single 80 gig HD, and I'll remove the fan controller (it'll be mums computer). I'll then be able to try just using sp1a.
This PSU I'm using is reviewed here with a several others. (the model number is the same, but the one tested doesn't appear to be dual rail - they actually state the number slightly incorrectly, but it's correct in the picture of the label they show.
I think it performed quite well, being one of only two that were able to keep producing (just) over 1 v at 100% load, whilst most others just plumetted. A significant but probably not damaging drop to 4.87v on the 5v rail and again 3.26 on the 3.3v rail all at 100% load (which you're never supposed to due to the PSU anyway). It got a recommended award since apparently it doesn't have many features but I don't think I'm in need of any features it lacks.
Furthermore - at the back it has a control for fan speed. Currently set on Auto, it maintains the same fan speeds (audiability) as on Low - thus I conclude it has headroom to push itself if necessary (in which case the fans would spin faster).
Apart from someone who said they're "cheapo", I havn't yet found any negative comments regarding Jeantech PSUs.

Shuffle USB Problem - Some Observations

I decided to start a new thread with some additional observations I have made regarding the Shuffle and USB problems. Some of this already appeared as a reply to the "ipod usb" thread. Anyway recapping from my previous post:
When plugged into the USB port of my machine, the front LEDs (above the control area) flash the following:
GREEN and ORANGE (YELLOW?) flash together for between 1/4 and 1/2 second. This is followed by the GREEN LED alone for about 1.5 seconds. 3 seconds of nothing, then it repeats. The battery condition LED on the back (below the ON/OFF switch blinks ORANGE for about 1/4 second every 4 seconds.
Plugging the Shuffle into another computer (a laptop), the Shuffle is recognized and the LEDs behave normally.
Now the weird thing is that the Shuffle had worked on the machine where it is now not recognized. In fact the iTunes 7.0.1 diagnostics show the serial number of the Shuffle as the last iPod connected. Also, the USB on the iTunes machine is a USB 1.0 and on the laptop is USB 2.0.
NEW OBSERVATIONS:
My 20GB Click Wheel iPod works fine under 7.0.1. The fact that it works leads me to believe the USB port and power are fine. If it the USB port can drive a hard disk iPod, it better be able to drive a Shuffle!
I loaded up the version of iTunes that came with the Shuffle on another Windows 2000 box I have. The Shuffle was recognized and did a RESTORE on it. Windows even recognized it. The version of Windows IS NOT as currently patched as the computer on which I have iTunes 7.0.1 installed.
I uninstalled iTunes 7.0.1 and installed version 6.0. Aside from 6.o not starting because some file got converted, Win2000 still did not recognize the Shuffle.
So here are my thoughts:
1) A recent Windows 2000 patch causes Shuffles to be ignored by the OS. There is a comment about a problem like this with XP, but I was not able to find anything Win2000 related. The machine I am having problems with is up to dat with regard to patches.
2) If V7.0.01 is the problem, even uninstalling it and reinstalling an old version of iTunes leaves some part of the driver or something that still causes problems.
3) The Phillips Pronto remote software I installed somehow causes a bad interaction with only the Shuffle. Remember, my click wheel iPod still works!
Right now I am leaning towards an issue specific to Windows2000 and the Shuffle. Maybe a conspiracy to get us all to buy Zunes?
If anyone has additional observations or suggestions on how to fix the problem, I (and a bunch of other people) would really like to hear from you.
Thanks!

Okay, I got focused on the fact that other machines
would recognize my Shuffle, but not my main machine.
It dawned on me that the Windows Registry stores
information about USB devices whether or not they
are plugged in, so I snooped around and found the
entries for the iPod.
I did some searches and found a reference to this MS
KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315539/en-us
Basically describes how to show the "hidden" (i.e.
removed USB) devices. Went into the USB section and
deleted the 2 entries I had for iPods (my Shuffle and
20GB click wheel).
Plugged my Shuffle in and BINGO! Windows recognized
the Shuffle and iTunes 7.0.1 recognized the Shuffle!
In fact, as I write this post, my poor little
Shuffle is having my jogging play list reinstalled
since it got wacked by the 'restore' on the other
machine.
Bottom line, it looks like I managed to solve my
green and orange LEDs of death problem!
Your mileage may vary!
Good luck!
Don
Yes, great, this is a fix for this problem. Thank you very much.
