The USB Device you have connected has malfunctione...

Hi All, I am facing an issue with a 6681 phone while connecting via Cable to my PC. My configuration given below:
OS: Windows XP
Device: Nokia 6681
Connection method: Data Cable
PC Suite Version: Came with the mobile
Problem:
1. It was working fine for a month. But now, I am getting the following balloon message: "The USB Device you have connected has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it".
2. Strange thing is, it is working fine with my office machine, having Win XP.
3. I am able to connect my camera to my home PC, so it is not a hardware issue.
4. Tried uninstalling and reinstalled again, no change, getting the same error message: "The USB Device you have connected has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it.".
Someone please help.
Thanks,
Sunil.

Hi teurastaja,
Thank you for your response. I tried the same, but again getting the same message. It started detecting the device, then tried to install the drivers, finally it is saying, "An error occured while installing drivers. Your USB device may not be properly". After that, I am getting the previous message continously in the tray with the header "USB device not recognized". Also, I am getting the cable connection icon in the phone screen just for 2-3 seconds. After that it is diappearing. Can you suggest any solution?
Thanks,
Sunil.

"There is a problem with your device,We're sorry the device you connected may be damaged and cannot be activated for service. "

My problem is after i did a restore on my 32gb ipod touch i now get a error on itunes that says "There is a problem with your device,We're sorry the device you connected may be damaged and cannot be activated for service. " Please help

In the ipad discussion forums there apparently is a HUGE problem with people not being able to update to ios 4.3.3, it apparently locks up their devices and they are also getting the error "there is a problem with your device".... some are reporting the same problem with their ipod touch as well... it looks like it's a global issue
The forum is in the ipad section under the title of "There is a problem with your device".
I have dodged a bullet on this one since i have not updated my ipod's or ipad in the last couple of days.... i will hold off syncing to itunes until this issue is fixed... good luck, and spread the word if you can to get apple to listen

I have an Iphone 5S and used to sync it to my computer in the past without any problem, but now I can't and appears the message "usb device not recognized", and the cable is good and so the USB port. Do you have any idea what's the problem?

Try leaving it plugged in and then restart the computer.
If you are on Windows this link may help but it is a bit old.

I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera... is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...
thanx

"The BlackBerry Desktop Software cannot connect with this device." after repair

I download the Desktop Software for BlackBerry onto my Mac Book Pro for the first time.
After installing I connected my PlayBook. I get the message "The BlackBerry® Desktop Software cannot connect with this device."
The program suggested I repair the device software, so I did. After that I set it up and ran the updates.
When I plug it back in I get the exact same message.
What should I do next?

I also cannot connect to my two playbooks using desktop manager on mac.
One of the two playbooks is now shipped back to rim for repair (see here http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-PlayBook/5MP-Playbook-Camera-Blackscreen-Errors-Ha... The issue of desktop manager not being able to connect to the playbook started with this playbook when the repair I was prompted to to stopped 1/4 way into it. Multiple retries did not make any difference.
Since then, I have tried connecting my other (functioning) playbook to the same mac but when I plug in usb cable I get the same "cannot connect" errmsg and prompted to "repair". I am definitely NOT going to "repair" this one. So I uninstalled the desktop manager and reinstalled it to see if it makes a difference. Unfortunately it did not and I get the same "cannot connect" errmsg.
If anyone has any suggestion how this issue can be resolved that would be great. I think something is stuck on the mac and is not getting wiped out when desktop manager is uninstalled. Thanks.

Connect your iPhone to Computer. On iTunes left Pane, under "Devices" right mouse click iPhone and select "Restore from Backup..." then select one of the three backup (Date and Time)

I needed to restore my phone to an earlier restore point because my notes were deleted after I restored I recieved this message
"We’re sorry, the device you connected may be damaged and cannot be activated for service. We recommend you visit your nearest Apple Store for more information. To find your nearest Apple Store, click here."
I need to get phone running asap abd do not want to go to Apple to talk with Genius.

That message will occur when you put in a NON-AT&T sim
just get the sim out and try again

Please post the URL. I remember reading specs where the iPhone 3G was singled out as not being compliant with an accessory and can't remember with one.
From Apple page on the CCK. The iPad is the only device that works with it. But, you can use it to transfer photos and videos between the iPad and iPhone. Go figure...

"This High-Speed USB device is connected a non High-Speed USB Hub" pops up!

Hi. I have an iPod mini and a Window XP desktop. I've checked my computer as stated in the forum. I know I have a USB 2.0 port according to one of the posts I've read, but I guess it's not a high speed LOL. So I was wondering if it takes more time to fully recharge the iPod mini with a non High-Speed USB Hub than it does with the High-Speed USB Hub.

Hi Deb,
Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience so far.
I am not sure if you already tried this, but in case not, try to update Muse via Creative cloud directly.
Start creative cloud application manager, if you dont have it, you can download it from here,
Adobe - Adobe Application Manager : For Windows : Adobe Application Manager
Login using your adobe id, once you are in, switch to Apps, and you should see the Update for Muse, click Update.
Let me know if you get any error or warning.
Thanks.

You can NOT use a non-AT&T SIM in your phone. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason.

An error occurred while USB device is connected to your Horizon View 6.1 desktop

Hi,
Recently we upgraded View from 5.3 to 6.1. Currently I use the virtual desktop agent 5.3.3 (VMware-viewagent-x86_64-5.3.3-2299613). USB redirection works fine.
If I update the agent to 6.1 (VMware-viewagent-x86_64-6.1.0-2509441), the USB redirection is no longer working with this error message:
An error occurred while USB device is connected to your Horizon View desktop.
Any suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks.

Error -4 is almost always an indication that the connection between the AirPort Utility application and the AirPort router is is being blocked by....
1) The Windows Firewall
2) Microsoft Security Essentials...if installed on your PC
3) The anti-virus software
4) 1&2, or 2&3, or 1&3, or all of the above
When I used to use a PC, the only way that I could ever get the AirPort setup was to turn off all of the items above, configure the AirPort, then turn everything back on again.
Life would be tons easier if you had an iPhone or iPad to configure the AirPort Extreme, or you could borrow a Mac for a few minutes.

Whenever I plugged in HP laserjet M1132 printer usb to my Macbook air,a screen pop-out "the disk inserted are not readable by this computer".I uninstalled

Hi,I'm new here and I think my problem were discussed few times before.However,I tried to follow the solutions similiar to my condition but it does not work.My problem is whenever I plugged in the HP printer (Laserjet M1132 MFP) usb to my Macbook Air,a screen will pop-out and read as 'the disk inserted is not readable by this computer'.I even bought my Mac to the Mac store but the situation remains the same.Okay with other printer but not with my HP.Sigh.The HP printer worked just fine with other computers (not Mac).I'm really sick of it.Please help me.I once plugged in an external hard drive & started Time Machine with it.The printer problem started after that.However, the hard drive plug-in works just fine.
Your attention of above matter is highly appreciated.Thank you.

Here is what worked for me:
I reset the System Management Controller on my MBA. To do so requires shutting it down, keeping it plugged in to power (I also unplugged both USB connections), and then from a powered off state I simultaneously pressed Shift + Ctl + Option + Power (I did this once and it did not work so I tried again and did it 3 times just to be safe), then released them at once, then I pressed the power button. Problem solved.

I also tried uninstalling the using the repair Disk Permissions with Disk Utility and moved the HP Printer software accessories to the trash (you can search the web for how to do that but that did not solve the problem either). Neither of these options worked.
