TOUCHSMART 520 PC NOT RECOGNIZING DEVICES IN THE USB PORT.
When I plug any devices into the USB port, they are not recognized. The computer acts as if they are not there. The devices (MP3, camera, Garmin, etc) turn on, so I know that they are connected. The Printer and wireless mouse that connect through the USB port still work and I have tried changing ports...it doesn't make any difference. Even if I try to search for thr device, the computer does not find it. Any ideas?

Hi - my 2011 Mac Pro no longer recognizes devices in the usb ports, I've been told it's the logic board. is there a way I can connect the iomega external hard drive to it through the firewire or thunderbolt ports?

Ok, fair enough. But since Job's death - Apple's control on leaks has been terrible. I got the new iPhone, and I like it - but it hasn't made nearly as big as an impression as previous ones. Because of the vast ammount of leaks. With the iPad mini leaks, it's 99% sure to come out next week.
Apple uses many manufacturers and it's massive also websites prefer to report on Apple whether true or false because it brings more hits.
Amd by "others" I meant other people on iPads - not other devices/manufacturers. It's possible to do so, I just want to know how. I honestly don't think we'll ever be in a Post-PC era until all tablets allow us to use USB in the way computers do.
No, USB is not the future, you missed the memo about cloud and wireless computing? -
Windows 8.1 Does not recongnize and of the USB Ports
None of the USB Ports work. Anything I plug into any port is not recognized, wireless mouse included.Device Manager - (Other devices), manufacturer Unknown, location on Intel(R) USB3.0 eXtensible Host Controller-0100 (Microsoft).(Code 28)Can't find Drivers What can I do to correct this problem?
Thank youHi Steve,
I don't know if you'll feel better but - You are not alone facing the same problems, I am sure that all the power handling in 8.1 is a mess. If I force the comp. to go to sleep mode, after a while it is
not staying in the sleep mode but shutting down autonomously. I suppose there is more hidden bugs.

Isn't your computer just switching from sleep mode to hibernation mode after the amount of time set in your power management settings? This sounds like it, as in hibernation the computer is effectively shut off. This is also intended behaviour.
As you guys, I hope MS releases a fix soon. -
Airport express tells me not enough power to usb port for hard drive.
I do have power to Airport express plugged in.The AirPort Express will not support a hard drive....only a printer.
If you need to connect a hard drive, you need an AirPort Extreme, not an AirPort Express. -
Recovery media program not recognizing flash drive in USB port
I have a new NB505-N500BL netbook. I am trying to create a backup using the Toshiba Recovery Media Center.
However, it doesn't seem to recognize that I have an 8GB flash drive installed.
Everytime I hit "create," I get the message to insert a 7.7GB flash drive. When I hit "OK" I get a msg to insert a flash drive greater than 7.7GB.
The 8GB flash drive is installed. I've tried it in all 3 USB ports. I've tried inserting it before turning ont the computer and afterwards.
I bought the flash drive directly from Toshiba so it should be good. I also assume a new 8GB flash drive meets the requirements of 7.7GB.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
EmmaHi Emma,
Contrary to what the size it's asking for, it's possible that the drive is just slightly too small. Even though the data may fit on the drive you have, the way TRMC calculates its free space may be slightly off. If you wish, you can try building this by hand and see if it fits. As follows:
1. First format the USB drive and make it active.
2. Now reboot the machine hitting the <F8> key until you are presented with a menu.
3. The first option should be "Repair...", then hit <ENTER>
4. You will be present with two login screens and eventually arrive at a repair menu.
5. First open up a command box and leave it open.
6. Now go back to the menu and launch the "TOSHIBA Recovery Wizard".
7. It will eventually get to a warning screen. Don't go pass this warning screen.
8. Once it gets to the warning screen, toggle back to the command box.
9. All you need to do is copy the contents from (I believe it's drive Q:\" to you root of your USB drive.
"robocopy Q: (USB Drive letter) /E /R:1 /W:2
10. Once everythings copied (assuming it fits), <Cancel> and the warning screen and then try rebooting from your USB drive.

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.

Roxio media manager in BB Desktop not recognizing/transfering to the device.
Roxio media manager in BB Desktop Device Manager not recognizing/transfering to the device.
Read some threads. Managed a cumbersome workaround by using Roxio to take songs from CD and transfer to MP3 format. Then using Explorer to drop into media card. Spent hours trying to figure out. Since I'm not very tech savvy, REALLY appreciate your help. Because I can't get any files from my PC to work. How I can convert WMA. WPL XLS DOC files so my BB can read them? Also, anyone with general info as to why emails I send to myself take days to reach my BB Curve 8330 while other senders come thru quickly?hello,

"Device connected to USB port has malfunctioned and is not recognized"
When I hooked my nano up to my computer today, the screen went black with a silver apple icon on it...it's still all lite up and on...but it won't change from that screen.
And my computer says, "Device connected to USB port has malfunctioned and is not recognized", so it won't show up in iTunes.
What do I do?? Thanks.

Do other USB devices work on your MBP?
Does this USB stick work on other MBPs?
There is a possibility that the stick requires more power than the MBP delivers. Try it on a powered hub.

I have had my Airport Extreme for almost a year now. I have not been able to get it to work. It has never worked. I have tried everything in the apple manuals, my peripheral device manuals, and online help. My Airport Extreme Base Station has a completely dead USB port. The USB connector does have voltage and ground. Apparently there is no data transfer. I do not know how to test the data pinouts. I don't know if it is a software or driver problem, or if it is a hardware or wiring problem. My computer is a mid-2009 13" MacBook Pro. All of my external devices work well with the MacBook Pro. The USB functionality on the MacBook Pro has always performed without a glitch. It seems the problem with the Airport Extreme must either be a network communication problem or a hardware/hardwire problem. I bought the Airport Extreme to build a home inTRAnet network. I have a seperate 3rd party router for inTERnet. Contrary to what the manuals declare, the initial setup of my Airport Extreme requires inTERnet setup during the process. Even when the choice is made to limit the network access to LAN only, when I reach the end of the setup process, a prompts reads that the Airport Extreme may not function because I have not set it up for inTERnet with the WAN. Well, Dah... during the intial stages of the setup I told the machine to configure an inTRAnet only LAN setup. So... I went ahead and set it up for inTERnet and WAN. Either way, the USB port is not working. Then I set it up for the whole package, WAN, LAN, and everything. Still... no function out of the USB port. Any ideas?
P.S. The Ethernet works and so does the 802.11 tranceiver. The USB port is the only problem, but a major, major one for my needs. There is no peripheral functionality.Okay so I figured it out. I inherited the Configurator already set up so I didn't realize that our former administrator was brilliant and set things up a little differently. To anyone else who finds themselves in this spot try this:
After you plug the iPad in and open Configurator instead of trying to 'Prepare' the device click 'Assign'
There should be groups of Users listed on the left hand side of the screen.
Select the group you want the ipad to be a part of, or make a new group. ***Note a group can be one person so this is a good feature for teachers to have individual app assignements for students.
After you select the user group click the little plus ( + ) button on the bottom of the screen under the second column of info where names and device serial numbers should appear.
Type the name of the person, group, whatever you want to identify that assignment by into the blank that pops up after you hit the plus ( + )
Then select the assignment you just made and tohe 'Check Our' button at the bottom. At this point a box will pop up with a window at the top listing all devices supervised by Configurator. There is a tiny down arrow button that opens a scroll down menu to the right of this box. Click that, then select the device connected by USB as the one to assign.
The name of the assignment you gave it will show on the lock screen now and you can assign apps and profiles to the device like you would any other device in your Configurator inventory.
Good Luck. -
when i plug my phone into the usb port with the apple charger that came with my phone i get an error msg say charging not supported by this device. But when i use a gigaware (radioshack brand) usb charger, no error msg. Why?
- Try restoring the iPod, first from backup and then try to factory settings/new iPod to rule out a software problem.
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and broken or cracked plastic.
- Could you have damaged something when you took the iPod apart and replaced the Home button? -
My Iphone is not being recognized in Itunes on my laptop. It is charging, so the USB port is working. My Iphone does work on another Laptop in the house and My wifes Iphone is being recognized on the same laptop that mine is not. Any suggestions?
The key bit of information here is that one iPhone works on the computer in question and another does not. So it is unlikely that AMDS is not running or there is a driver problem; if either of these was the problem neither phone would be recognized in iTunes.
Unfortunately, I don't have an answer either. Except to verify that both iPhones (the one that works and the one that doesn't) use the same cable and the same USB port.
Also, are the two iPhones the same model and same iOS version? -
iphone 3gs shows activation required, hooked up to iTunes and it is not recognized. Did the restore but just gets to the end and gives an error message it could not be restored, an unknown error occurred (-1). Can someone assist me in next steps please?
Instructions to get the phone back working temporary.. till there is a real fix.
1. turn off the phone
2. fire up iTunes
3. press and hold the home button, plug in the cable, hold till you get to see the recovery mode
4. iTunes will the allow to choose restore the phone back to 5.0.1 ( no other choice)
5. iTunes will then ask you to choose which previous backup to would like to recover.
(note: please do not reboot your phone unless necessary, i realize at times after reboot, it goes back to sq1)
