USB connection from iPod to PC not working

Whenever I connect my ipod to my PC via the USB, three beeps are heard signaling that the connection is not being made. However, when I plug the iPod into other computers using the same USB chord, it works. Also, when I plug other things into my computer using USB, they are recognized.
What should I do so I can connect my iPod to my PC to update my iPod?

This worked for me...
Reinstall the COM interface for the iPod Service
1. Quit iTunes and any running iPod Updater.
2. Click iPodService.exe in the Windows Task Manager window.
3. Click End Process.
4. Click Yes.
5. On the Start menu, click Run. Note that the Run windows may appear behind the Windows Task Manager window.
6. Enter this text (including the quotation marks):
"C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.exe" /service
7. Click OK in that window.
8. On the Start menu, click Turn Off Computer.
9. Click Restart.

I am trying to connect an IPOD Touch with my car radio via USB port. Using proper cable which works. When I connect the auto radio automatically tries to hook up with the Ipod but then displays "reading error"

The the car-system manyfacturer say it will work with your model iPod and its iOS?
Not all do.

USB Connect Cisco for Mac does not work

I created a USB for Cisco Connect on my desktop with Windows XP but it will not work to connect a Mac to the Internet.
When I insert the USB, the Connect Icon will not execute. Is there something special that has to be done?

Hey! Are you referring to the Cisco Connect software installed in the router? What's the model number of your router? Or if you're referring to the Smart Wifi software's USB feature, you may check this link:

The wi-fi on my ipod touch is connected but the internett is not working! Help

Soo annoying, it's connected but the internett is not working. I don't know what to type in or what to do, so I need help.

Are you 100% positive you are connected? Head to Settings - Wi-Fi and tap the > next to the network you are connected to? What is listed for an IP address? If it's in the 169.x.x.x range, it means your iPod did not properly receive a valid IP address via DHCP from your modem/router. So the 169.x.x.x address is a self-assigned one.
This can usually be resolved by a reboot of your router. You can do this by unplugging it for about 30 seconds. After it powers back up, try reconnecting it. It wouldn't hurt to try a reset of your iPod as well. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

TS2771 i am trying to fix my ipod touch tryed password to many times the problem is my usb port on my computer does not work what else can i try?

my sons ipod is disabled from trying password to many times my usb port on my computer does not work. what else can i do to get this disabled off my sons ipod please help!!!

The only thing you can do is place the iPod in Recovery mode and restore via iTunes on a computer. It is a good security feature.

My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). How do I fix it?

My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). I have tried unplugging the devices, restarting the computer, selectively unplugging and plugging in the devices, closing and opening the relevant applications (iTunes, iPhoto, etc). I have tried using different USB cables.
It's like all of a sudden the synching service stopped functioning or recognizing these devices for some reason. The other ports work just fine (monitor).
The only USB-connected external device that appears to be unaffected is the USB SuperDrive and it works on all the USB ports into which I plug it.
How do I fix this?

Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens or doesn't happen.

HT1476 My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones. I'm stumped :/

My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones and a USB cord that works from the laptop won't work from 3 or 4 different wall boxes that work for others. I'm stumped :/

Update: It seems as though the phone will charge if I plug it in and then turn it off. It will not charge while the phone is on. Also iTunes will not recognize it, so I can't sync or anything. I read somewhere that it could be a fuse somewhere?? Or maybe the dock connector. Where is the best place to get this repaired?

Need to know your Mac model. If it's a PowerPC, the max OS is Leopard 10.5.x. If it's an Intel procesor, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (for $29) & later to Lion.
*Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements*
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store *but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753)*.

What happens when you connect to the computer and try to restore via iTunes?
Have you tried placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restoring? For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
You can call Apple but if you are not within 90 days of purchasing the iPod they will charge you.

I use OverDrive to get audiobooks from my library to listen on my ipod. Does not work since latest update of ipod. Converts the WMA and acts like it is putting it on the ipod but then it isn't there.

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.Have yo tried:

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Go to the OverDrive support site

My iPod touch is not working in iTunes, but it is showing up on my "My Computer".

My iPod touch is not working in iTunes, but it is showing up on my "My Computer". The instructions from Apple Support is NOT effective. Please help.

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

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

My ipod touch is not working at all pls HELP, my ipod touch is not working at all pls HELP

My iPod touch is not working at all,i did everything i could and still it doesnt work,i live in the philippines my idea of solving this problem is to send it back at Apple California we do have service centre here but i dont trust them,i dont know what to do,I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP

Quite possibly. It wouldn't hurt to try another one if at all possible. If you have to, borrow one from a friend. It could also be due to debris in the docking port of your iPod. Take a look on the inside of the port and make sure there is no lint or anything like that. Also look for broken pins as they would definitely cause connection issues as well.
