Syncing device is not connected. what to do?
tried to change usb ports
Try reseting the iPOd. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Have you tied rebooting the computer?

While sync my Ipad 1 I got the following message:The ipad "untitled playlist" cannot be synced.The device is not connected. What could I do besides restoring?
" I get told that my ipad cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in the itunes library! "
Ok. Choose less to sync to your ipad.

My iphone after the update to IOS 5 (which i had problems updating first anyway) wont even register with itunes saying its still half way through a restore when its not i have already restored it 4 times but still wont sync music or apps or finish restoring my phone because it always comes up device is not connected or the required file is not found?
Any ideas?? ive gone the 02 shop and they just said to keep trying to restore it but its really not solving anything.Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.

I have been trying sync my ipad to a new pc and I get this message after the sync fails:
"Attempting to copy to the disk "windows" failed. The device is not connected."
The device is connected, what is wrong here?This is a common problem that is most likely caused by files that are not marked to have proper read/write permissions.
To solve this problem, follow these steps.
1. Close iTunes.
2. Using the finder, Ctrl-click the folder that contains your music files, then select Get Info.
3. Ensure that the Owner is set to have Read & Write privileges. Choose to Apple to enclosed items…
Once you have modified permissions, fire up iTunes and try to sync your music again. If it throws the same error message and still doesn’t work, research more about permissions in Mac OS X, as there could be something else not right with the permissions of your music files. -
Message: "phone device is not connected" cannot sync calendar
I have been trying to sync my new iphone. Seems succesful except for my ical. I keep getting several messages:
cannot be synced because a) the device is not connected (believe me it is!!!) or b) the required disc cannot be found c) your iphone disconnected
Any ideas on what to do?Try:
1) unplugging the USB/iPhone cord, hub from your mac.
2) Run Disk Utilities and Repair disk permissions on your mac.
3) Restart the mac. Plug the USB 2.0 cable/dock to iPhone, try again.
If this doesn't work, try Resetting the iPhone. If all of this doesn't help, try RESTORING the iPhone software via iTunes.
good luck! -
HT1386 HELP -- "The ipod cannot be synced. The device is not connected"
Just got a 1st gen ipod & trying to Sync it, it just keeps saying "The ipod cannot be synced. The device is not connected" -- the device IS connected, it even says the ipod is there on iTunes, but won't Sync. Also, iTunes is up-to-date (just checked) so not that. Been trying since last night, so I know turning the PC off & back on or restarting doesn't work either.
It's also saying the HDD isn't connected -- which it is because I can access it & iTunes can play songs from it.
Not sure if this detail is of use, but I'm running Windows 7.... My iPod is running iOS 4.2.1
Please help, im stuck! :-/
PS.
This is my first ipod, so please don't assume I already know anything about Apple products -- I won't be offended if you go into ipod basics lol.Appears to be fixed.
Moved all music recorded at 128bit or less to different location.
Moved video files to different location.
Synced sections of iTunes collection individually: Only Music, then Podcasts, etc.
Seems to be working fine. Apps also came over without changes.
???? Only thing missing is my PLAYLISTS.
???? Someone know where they reside on my old HD list and why they did not come over? -
I need help with an error message I receive when trying to Sync my iPhone4 to my desktop using Windows XP.
It says unable to sync, as the device is not connected. I've changed the usb ports, and tried again to no avail. Anybody have any suggestions?This support community is focused on iTunes U. Please post your question to the iTunes for Mac or iTunes for Windows communities or iTunes Support.
-Thanks -
I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working. But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures. Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.
When in iTunes on the computer,my our ipadmshould show under devices.
Click on your ipadmunder devices then go to music at top center of the iTunes window, check what you want to sync for music. You need to set it to a folder if I remember which would have your music in it you want synced.
Same with PDF files.....there should be an option for data or even PDF files at the top center area of iTunes when the iPad is clicked under devices.
If your iPad does not show or you cannot click on it under devices which is in the leftane of iTunes, the iPad is not being seen by the computer.
Try unplugging the USB cord from the laptop then give it a few and see if the computer picks it up. -
My ipad says it is connected to WiFi, which is workingly perfectly for several other devices, will not connect to internet. It keeps giving the message 'Cannot Connect' or error has occurred or just blink off site or icon?
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Firmware update: "The device is not connected to the USB por
Hi, I have a MuVo TX SE GB and I tried to load the new .22.03e firmware on it with a Windows XP SP2 PC. But when I connected the device, and started the firmware updater, it searched for a minute or so, and then the reset question appeared. I clicked OK and then I heard the USB sounds and the new hardware wizard appeared. I followed the wizard, but when it was installing the drivers, a message: "The device is not connected to the USB port" appeared, and the firmware updater closed. The hardware installed fine. But when I try to load the firmware again, the reset question doesn't appear, but I hear the USB sounds, and i get the same message again. I also tried connecting the player in recovery mode but that doesn't help. The player won't turn on. When I connect it, the player is listed in My computer, but I can't open it. What should I do, and how can I load new firmware properly?

Touchscreen not working: error message code 45, says "device is not connected to the computer"
My subject message basically says it all. My touchschreen is not working at all. I went into device manager and found error message code 45, which states that the "device is not connected to the computer."
I have tried updating drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling the device, and other things, but nothing working.
All advice appreciated.Hi @Jim9 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I saw your post regarding the error code 45. From what you have described this sounds like it is a hardware issue. The only real troubleshooting I can recommend (that you haven't already done), is going a full System Recovery to restore it back to factory defaults. If the issue still occurs then we know it is a hardware problem.

i just recently bought a phone off craigs list from someone else and they didnt restore it so i tried to plug it in and restore it and it said the "apple mobile device is not started" what does that mean? and what can i do?
You must be running Windows. AMD is a service that needs to be running in order to sync your phone. You need to start it as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567.

Zen Micro Connection "the device is not connect
When I connect my Zen Micro in my computer the Zen Micro Media Explorer says that "the device is not connected. Please connect your Zen Micro to the computer" My battery is full. I read the instruction book and It said when you connect the Zen Micro in, Creative MediaSource or Windows Media Player starts up automatically... but nothing happens when I connect my Zen Micro. Please help.
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000 size=2>Hey, i have this same problem...well i did...im not sure :smileyindifferent:
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000 size=2>At first i followed the instructions on how to install the mp3 (micro) etc etc, i followed it to perfection. When it came to using the software on the disc, i found alot of problems, mainly that my Micro "apparently" was not connected, according to my Creative Media Source/Organiser etc.
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000 size=2>Anyway, after i downloaded loads of different updates etc, and basically fiddled about, i got WMP to recognise it!! BREAK THROUGH!!
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000 size=2>Alot of other ppl i know have had this same trouble as i and as loads of you are, so i would recommend using WMP, works fine, only downfall is I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE PLAYLISTS :angry:
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000 size=2>As fussy as i am, this isn't good enough for me, i want the software to recognise it so i can take full advantage of my new Micro.
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000 size=2>So, i need advice, shall i quit while im ahead, or will someone gve me some help to resolve this problem?
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000 size=2>And if the later, what the hell shall i do?
