Trouble connecting IPod to window

My computer doesn't recognize my IPod but my ITunes does meaning the USB post doesn't recognize it. Instead of charging up my IPod get drained of its power really fast. It is a laptop but this happens even when it plugged up. I've got the latest software for windows and for my Ipod. Which is an older model, 10GB click-wheel. My laptop is brand new. Followed all the suggestions on the website and nothing worked.
Also I've tried to use the IPOD song transfer software and it doesn't recognize my IPOD at all.

if you are using a laptop computer, the USB port may not be providing enough power for the ipod to charge
what type of computer are you using?

Those converters like the AsanteTalk are notorious for not re-acquiring Printers that drop out for any reason.
Get everything else powered up, then cycle off the AsanteTalk, count slowly to 10, then power the AsanteTalk on last.

Connecting iPod to Windows and OS X

I know on the earlier version of iPods, if you connected your iPod through PC first then connect them through Macs, it gets a hardware failure. Atleast it did that for me couple times. Now I was wondering with iPod Touch, it'll have the same problem. I uploaded all the songs on my desktop, windows, and I have some songs on my Macbook, OS X, that I want in the iPod. So I was wondering if it'll have the problem again.

An iPod formatted for Mac won't run natively on a PC because the Windows OS does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive. You can as you suggest reformat your iPod on Windows if you want to use it on both platforms as Macs can read Windows formatting (there have been reports of Windows iPods not working on a Mac but they would tend to be the exception). Alternatively there are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows, this is one for instance: XPlay 2
You would also need to download USB drivers and XPlay or Anapod to connect to Windows 98 as there has never been a version of iTunes for Windows 98 or ME: Anapod Explorer Windows 98/ME Support

FYI - all of us with problems connecting ipod to windows

A bit of information for all of us that their ipods have stopped being recognised by windows!
I have done the 5 r's 4 times, reinstalled all drivers on windows etc etc ... still not being recognised!!
I have just called Apple Tech support and when I told them the date it stopped working and all the steps Ihave carried out, guess what .. they said send it back as there may be a technical problem with the hard drive on the ipod!!
Thought i'd let you all know!!

Hey everyone
I have been fighting with this problem all night and have eventually solved the problem. The 5 R's sort of works but here is the solution. The problem rests with the latest version of the iPod updater software AND Microsoft's new Windows Defender as well which seem to have had an adverse effect on the software and iPod and how it behaves.
If you are having problems getting the iPod to be recognised on Windows follow the following guidance to uninstall iTunes completely
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
You need to start with a blank sheet and get rid of iTunes and clean up all previous installs of it. Make sure you also remove the iPod for Windows software too. Download the LATEST version of iTunes from the Apple web site (I think its 6.0.3) and install it on your machine.
Then, with the CD that came with your 5th Gen iPod install the iPod for Windows software that came on it. Don't worry about what version of iPod software you have on the iPod - it is fine - you can have up to 26-01-06 version which is what I have.
Connect up your iPod - Windows probably still wont recognise it. Don't worry here is the added solution and what the problem is.
The iPod has somehow become disabled in the Hardware profiles on Windows by the recent updates. Let the iPod be connected to your PC for at least 15 secs.
1. Go to My Computer icon on the desktop and right mouse click - go to Properties.
2. On the System Properties window that comes up click on the Hardward Tab.
3. Go to the Device Manager button and click it.
4. Under the listing that comes up do to Disk Drives. Click on the + icon to expand the list. You will now see Apple iPod listed (NB If you have any other external hard drives normally connected to your PC disconnect them beforehand so the drive letter that will be assigned to the iPod is E: - after this problem is fixed you can reattach any external drives fine)
5. You should find that the Apple iPod drive is disabled (has a red cross over it)
6. To enable it, right mouse click on its icon and select, enable.
7. This will cause the iPod to be recognised by Windows and then iTunes should start up as normal.
FOR THOSE WHO DONT SEE THE IPOD IN THE HARD DRIVE LIST:
1. Go to Add New Hardware and the plug and play properties should find the iPod and add it with the relevant hard drive drivers.
Hope this helps everyone!

Trouble connecting to a Windows printer

I am new to Apple and need to connect to a Windows printer (shared) so I can print wirelessly from my MacBook Pro. I've followed all the instructions I can find but still get error messages. The printer is a Canon iP8500 hardwired to a PC running XP. The computer is hardwired to a wireless router in my home. I am able to see the PC on my Mac so I know the wireless connection is there, I just can't seem to find or add the printer. I turned on sharing for the printer and have set up a workgroup and have tried using both the IP address of the PC and the name of the PC and the printer to no avail.
Thanks.

Hello KatDeB,
The issue you are having could be a result of the printer driver you are using. The Canon supplied driver does not function when the printer is being shared by Windows or a 3rd party print server, such as the suggested Linksys. For these types of network connections, you need to use a CUPS-based driver such as those provided by Gutenprint or PrintFab. Since Gutenprint is free, it is the preferred choice and checking the supported printer list of v5.2.3, which is included with Snow Leopard, your iP8500 is supported.
So, open Print & Fax and select the existing print queue to the Windows share. Then click Options & Supplies and select the Driver tab. For the Print Using menu, change it to 'Select printer software'. In the search window that appears, type ip85 - this will short list your selection down to two possible choices - the 'Canon iP8500' and 'Canon PIXMA iP8500 - Gutenprint v5.2.3'. You most likely have the first one selected so you need to select the Gutenprint one and click Add. Now try printing again. This should get you further than the Canon driver would.

Trouble Connecting Ipod Touch to Itunes

Hey Guys
Having a bit of trouble with my new Ipod Touch I bought over the weekend... hoping you could help me out.
Basically my ipod will be recognised by itunes but when it tries to sync I get the error message
"The ipod cannot be synced. The disk could not be read or written to."
After discussing it with Apple Support, I connected the device to another computer, which connects with the ipod and syncs fine. After looking in the device manager and seeing that the ipod is not appearing, they are claiming that it's an issue with the windows driver for the usb2 port and theres nothing I can do and to call windows support.
The strange thing is, when I buy songs by wifi on the itunes store via the ipod touch - when I connect the device that song will transfer back to itunes no problem.
Anyone have any ideas? I've updated itunes and ipod software, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and deleted temp directories.

Hey burntfilm82,
Does the iPod touch work correctly in another user account?
This article describes howto setup another user account and has some good troubleshooting tips.

Can't connect to the iTunes Store
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

Problems Connecting Ipod To Windows

Just been having some trouble with the iPod.
Has been working fine up until just now.
Plug it in and I get a little bubble in the corner saying "The USB device is not recognised and has malfunctioned" or something along those lines. Strange I thinks, so I unplug it from under the ipod and try again. Same problem. I try it in a different USB socket and it works fine. Back to the USB port with the problems and I get the message again. Unplug it and plug a USB mouse into problem USB port, it works fine. Plug the ipod back in and get the message about defice malfunctioning again. Plug ipod into the other USB socket I tried when it worked fine, and I get the malfunction message again. Try it back in the problem port and it still has the problem.
Any ideas guys? It was working fine up until just now!
Tom
P.S. Have tried different cables and a reboot.
Have latest iTunes and latest Ipod software and had been working fine with these up until just recently.

I've got windows Vista, and I can't remember if I needed to install a driver for the iPod?
If you did have install a driver, un-install that driver and re-install it. It sounds to me as though it is a driver fault, corrupt maybe. I KNOW Windows reckons it doesn't need drivers, but then when is Windows right? It's Microsoft for chrissakes lol.
You could try looking in device manager when you plug it in. If it shows up as a fault with the explanation mark, just "Unistall this device" and try again.

Just started having problem connecting ipod to windows xp

I have a ipod video 5th gen. Bought it about a month ago and has worked fine. I was able to charge and sync with itunes with no prob. Just recently when i connect the ipod with my usb cable, it comes up with an error saying "the usb device attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows dosent reconingze it". Now I cant can't sync with itunes, charge, nor does it show up in my computer. No changes have been made to my PC except for regular windows updates. Anyone have an answer or work around?

Having trouble connecting iPod Touch with iTunes 8.2

I have a first generation iPod Touch 16GB, before the recent 8.2 iTunes update (or it may have been 8.0, I tend to ignore those annoying 'please update now messages')my iTunes worked properly, and the Touch would sync whenever I connected it.
Now when I connect the iPod to my computer it no longer shows up in iTunes, the computer (running Windows Vista Basic) recognizes the iPod is there, and the iPod charges properly. iTunes itself however is oblivious.
I've tried completely reinstalling iTunes like the support page suggests, but the problem persists, it is getting quite annoying now since I cannot get the new 3.0 OS update or put new music on.
Can anybody help?

I have the same problem, but mine won't even take a charge from the computer, or my docks. I have to plug it into a wall wart usb charger and then it works fine. Can't get my computer to recognize/sync it since the "upgrade" to 8.2. The only responses worth a crap on this topic say to just be patient because it is now a known bug they are working on. IMO I wish Apple would stop acting like MS and stop releasing stuff that hasn't been properly beta tested. This glitch has occurred for thousands of users, and any basic cross platform testing process should have revealed this problem in the first 5 minutes. Yet ANOTHER embarrassing POS from the "new" Apple.
