USB CORD NOT RECOGNIZED!!

When i downloaded/upgraded the new itunes my USB cord suddenly stopped working.So then i got a new cord but it still doesnt work.The new and old cords both still charge with the wall pluggins but not on the computer.So my guess is somethings wrong with the computer,not the cords..WHAT DO I DO!

This is exactly what happened with my digital camera and now I have to use it on my other computer. Maybe use it on another computer if you have one?

Old IPhone USB cord not recognized when syncing

I am hoping to use my old original IPhone as an IPod. However, I cannot get it to sync because the USB cord is not recognized on the computer. I have tried it many times and on different computers. It will not sync or download photos. Can anyone help with the problem of the USB. I do not know why USB will not work. I purchased a new USB from Belkin at the Apple Store and have my original USB cord as well. I do not have any idea which of these devices could be faulty if it is the IPhone or the USB cord. Please help. Thanks.

Thanks, issue is hopfully just the cable. I have recently learned that re-furbed and pre-owned are different. And that pre-owned warranty dates do not start over with date of purchase. I recently upgraded and ordered a 16G 3GS that I found out is pre-owned. Which means my warranty date is a month off. Dont feel very comfortable with having a device that was previously owned and not re vamped. I was told that they just polish them up and put them back into box, and then re-sell. I would have spent an extra fifty dollars to get a new one if I knew that is the way it worked. I was uninformed. Could issue be with bad device? Do they go through verification to ensure that there is no issue with them?
Thanks for all you do.

3G iPod Touch "USB device not recognized" on any PC

My 3G been working fine for 1+ yr. Running iTunes 10 on a WinXP system; latest OS (4.2.1?) everything was up to date and working fine. One day I get "USB device not recognized" when I hook it to the PC. Also, when connected to a charger, I don't get the battery screen. It charges either way, but slowly.
I visited the local Apple store & the guru checked it on her system, with same results. I just reset it, hoping for a miracle, but it still isn't recognized.
Help?

Hi Che-Che. I'm having what looks like the same problem. Cannot get this iPod Touch 4th Gen to be recognized on any computer. When I use the white Apple cord that came with it, absolutely nothing happens. Not a sign of being recognized or not being recognized. I brought a third party cable made by Scohche and it is made for iPod, but at least the computer acts like it is starting to load the USB driver, then it fails. The other cable you are talking about, was it an Apple cable? I'm leaning towards it being a faulty Apple cable.

USB device not recognized win7 iPod Touch 1g

My computer will not recognize my 1st Gen Ipod Touch 8gb when I plug it into my USB port. I get a message USB Device Not Recognized. I've tried everything from resetting the iPod, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and all other Apple related programs, to fiddling with the settings in my Device Manager. It will only recognize it as an Unknown Device, not even an Apple device.
What should I do? I just got this thing through a trade, it's clean, wifi works fine, in great condition. I just don't know what to do! It won't show up in iTunes at all, won't show up as a mass storage device, nothing. I am running Windows 7. I've also tried using different cords, different usb ports, and another computer. None of that made a difference.

Windows won't recognize my iPod - USB device not recognized

This is really frustrating. So I got a 4gb iPod nano on Saturday, took it home, set it up and everything was going just fine, no worry's. About 4 hours later I went to adjust my songs and it would not come up in iTunes. A little pop-up box said that the "USB device not recognized - one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it." After owning my iPod for less than an afternoon, I now have an ipod that I can do nothing to including change the music, charge it, etc. It works normally otherwise, it just won't connect to my computer. I then plugged in my older 256mb usb stick, and the same message, it too does not get recognized by windows. So I then tried a brand new 1gb usb stick that I had and the same result, not recognized by windows. I updated my itunes to the latest one after purchasing my ipod (version 7.4.3.1) and have looked up everything that I can and tried everything I saw to try, but nothing, absolutely nothing, worked. However my usb mouse, usb joystick, and usb printer all still work, but my moniter that has four usb outlets on it causes the same message, if I plug in the cable that connects one usb on my computer to the four on my moniter, windows can not recognize it. When I look in my device manager at the "unknown device" under the usb controller list it says that there is not driver for it, however I know that the drivers are either on my computer or built into windows. Any help? Anybody have an idea about what to do? Is it something in my windows registry has changed because of the new itunes, etc.?

Now that I've had some sleep, I realise I didn't really provide information that may lead to some specific help. Here goes - when I first plugged in the ipod nano (8gb), It displayed the screen it was supposed to - I could see the lightning bolt through the battery icon and knew it was charging. The icon for the ipod also appeared in the left-hand listing in itunes (in the section that existed under Library, before the sections Store and Playlists). This section now does not appear (I can't remember the title of this section, but it might have been 'devices'). In fact, I'm pretty sure this problem started when I clicked on this icon - nothing happened and it disappeared - so did the display on the ipod, which is not just the apple. This means itunes has only Library, Store and Playlist in the left-hand colunm. While I accept that computers do not work on normal logic, this seems to me to indicate that the drivers are fine, the system is fine, my laptop is fine - its the ipod or the usb cord. This morning as I tried again, this time my laptop gave me the option to 'click on the balloon to solve the problem' - let me quote: "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognise it. Try reconnecting the device. If Windows still does not recognise it, replace the device". Come on folks - one of you will surely know how to fix this (short of me taking the ipod back to the store to get my money back).

Zen Vision M...USB Device Not Recognized

My Zen Vision M 30g?is no longer recognized by my computer. I get the following message: "USB Device Not Recognized: One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it." I haven't changed anything on my computer (Windows XP Home Edition SVC Pak 3), so I don't know why it would not recognize my player all of a sudden. My zen still plays and charges using the portable charger, so it is still usable; however I can't change anything on the player. So far I've tried disc clean up, changing USB ports and plugging it into another computer (got the same message). I haven't seen anything on the bulletin board about "malfunctioning." Does this mean my zen is done?

Thanks. I keep getting directed to that knowledge base page, but it is not addressing my problem. My computer immediately tells me that the device has "malfunctioned" and the computer does not recognize it. I only have the usb cord that came with the zen, so I don't have another one to try. I love my zen and have staunchly defended it over the years vs. an i-pod. However, this is my 2nd one in 5 years. (The first one fried itself, but fortunately was still under warrantly.) Sadly, I, too, am considering moving on. I onlyreceived generic help fromthe Creative SupportTeam (who ultimately told me my zen is "unrepairable" when their one-size-fits-all solutions didn't work).Since there seems to be an overwhelming # of people experiencing similar problems, maybe the time is right to make the change, especially since an iPod classic 60 GB (7th Generation) is quite affordable these days.

USB Device not recognized Blackberry Classic

I'm trying to connect my new blackberry classic to PC using USB cable. The PC is a laptop with windows 7 64bit. I tried all USB ports available on PC and I tried to install it on another PC with Windows XP. In both PC i get USB Device not recognized error and Blackberry Link cannot connect to smartphone. I need to connect in order to move all contacts from old blackberry to new blackberry. The BB software versions are the following:
- Link version 1.2.4.27
- Blackberry device manager 8.0.0.55
- bbDevMgr 4.2.0.52
-Drive USB RIM 4.2.0.32
- Serial Usb RIM Driver 2.3.0.11
Previously i had installed Blackberry desktop software for OS 7. Before installing the new version, in the last trial i uninstall all software from RIM and cleaned manually the registry.
From what i can understand, there is perhaps a problem with 32/64 bit system driver.
Without a solution to move the contacts and messages from old BB I will change the phone to another version/supplier. I spent already more than 1 day trying to do this...
Thanks for the support

I have Windows Mobile 6.0 on my Treo 750, Windows Mobile Device Center on my laptop (Vista OS), and Outlook 2003. When sync is established there is no problem with Outlook 2003, but there is a problem with recognizing Treo by my laptop. Also (probably) there is a problem with the connection cord (I have to move slightly USB couple of times inside a port in term to start connection)… It’s a minor but annoying problem.

USB device not recognized when in Win XP

When I plug my Ipod touch into the computer via the cable, I get an error message
"USB device not recognized". I've tried to delete and reload Itunes, I've reset the Ipod and reset all the original settings. I've tried several of the USB ports and also tried 3 different cords for the Ipod. Can anyone help me??? I can get it to plug into my daughter's computer at her house, but not on my computer... this is getting frustrating!

Thanks for welcoming me... wish I didn't have to come on here though... I wish the IPod(1st gen) was working well. I just downloaded the new Itunes 8.2.1 on my computer when this started. My son-in-law's IPod (2nd gen)plugs in and is acknowledged just fine, for mine, even when I bit the bullet and decided to erase the whole thing and start anew, is still telling me "USB device not recognized". Very frustrating. So it's not only not connecting to my computer, it's now erased. Before I could at least play games, can't do anything now... (sigh)

USB Device Not Recognized

Operating system: Windows Vista
Error: USB Device not recognized
While actively on the computer, we suddenly got a message stating that the USB Device was not recognized. The only thing plugged in to the USB port was a mouse. Tried all the ports, same message. Tried another mouse, same thing. Tried a thumb drive, and low and behold, 2 of the 3 USB ports worked. Tried a URL from MS which is supposed to help with this exact problem and possibly fix it: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Tips-for-solving-problems-with-USB-devices
This didn't work.
Contacted HP support and they wanted me to restore back to a restore point as well as updating my BIOS. After searching the issue more extensively using Google, I found that several people said to do this:
Shut down the computer
Remove the power plug
Remove the battery
Put the battery back in
Power up the computer (without the power plug)
This forces a hard reset.
Almost as if by magic, the problem disappeared. A much simpler and less technical solution to the problem than what HP recommended!!!!

TS1369 Hello! I have an Ipod Shuffle 2nd Generation and it is not recognized by my Windows 8 based laptop. An error message of 'USB device not recognized' is shown. I have the latest ITunes version installed, and tested the dock in other pc's.

Hello!
I have a problem connecting my Ipod Shuffle 2nd generation to my Windows 8 based laptop. The computer doesn't recognize the Ipod and issues an error message saying 'USB device not recognized'. I tried uninstaling ITunes(latest version) and all other Apple software and reinstaling it back again, checked my USB hubs in the 'Device Manager' section of the Control Panel, you name it.
I could really use some help solving this.
I've turned to the troubleshooting section in Apple Support but it has nothing concerning situations in wich the device isn't even shown in the 'My Computer' folder.
Help a brother out, will you???

Found a solution in another forum http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-63733-ipod-not-detected-on-computer (a few posts down).
It was for an IPOD so you can see those details in the link.
Found how to reset a shuffle and inserted it into these instructions - did not have to follow his last steps.
- Turn off computer.
- Plug Shuffle into usb.
- Then you must reset your shuffle
To reset iPod shuffle:
Disconnect iPod shuffle from the computer (if connected).
Move the switch on the iPod shuffle to the OFF position. Note that when iPod shuffle is off, the green stripe by the switch is not visible
Disconnect iPod shuffle from the computer (if connected).
Move the switch on the iPod shuffle to the OFF position. Note that when iPod shuffle is off, the green stripe by the switch is not visible.
- Start computer and it should install the usb driver for the ipod automatically.
- Your i pod will say do not unplug so don't. then open itunes and it will be there.
I did not have to do these thing below – did not get error message and shuffle was displayed in Itunes. / LMc
Just remember to not only eject ipod from itunes but stop usb.
Go to the program icons near the clock and right click the usb icon and "safely remove hardware" will appear and click it.
Stop it and select "apple ipod".

USB Device Not Recognized issues

I have a Qosmio X505-Q860 and I've been getting the 'USB Device Not Recognized' error constantly for several months. I've never plugged anything into any of my USBs and the error is now causing a nice Blue Screen (which happened about 4 times yesterday within 1 hour). I've tried uninstalling the problem USB hub but it keeps telling me that it failed to uninstall (I'm on my administrator account when doing this). How in the world do I get rid of this so my computer stops crashing and driving me crazy!?
Edit: I should also mention that everything is up to date (I check often and checked just now).
"A stopped clock is still right twice a day."

I suggest trying another USB cable. If you are positive that your cable is not the issue then try resetting the iPod and booting into disk mode (Hold menu+select down until Apple logo appears. Then hold menu+play/pause down and the iPod will go into disk mode, see if the computer recognizes it then. If that works then their is either a software issue on the computer or a firmware issue. Worth trying to restore but backup all your iPod's files first!

"USB Device Not Recognized" Bubble/ Ipod won't connect to Windows

Whenever i connect my ipod to my computer the ipod goes to "do not disconnect" and a bubble pops up on my computer saying "USB DEvice Not Recognized" i have switched it to all of my usb ports and unplugged all usbs except for my mouse at the same time. this happens 95% of the time. my ipod does charge while connected and it has only connected to itunes once in the past 2 weeks. im not sure if it is itunes because it started around the time i updated to itunes 7. since it is a windows bubble though i think it is a windows or ipod problem and not itunes. i have a dell that isnt great but works fine.
thanks for any help.
... Go TTU!

Make that two idiots. My roommate got a Sansa and I decided to try out the cable. Nothing happened. Now suddenly my nano isn't recognized by my computer. I'm glad I read your post, now I can stop looking high and low for a solution. Until this happened it worked good as new.

"USB device not recognized" when ipod plugged in???

(ipod mini 4gb)
When I plug my ipod into my laptop I get the message: "USB device not recognized." It says the device has malfunctioned!!! If I click on this error message it says my ipod is an unknown device and no drivers are installed for it???
It was working fine until a few days ago. If i reset it I can charge it up but that's all, it still does not appear in itunes or on my computer.
I've tried eveything on the help website but nothing works! Can anyone help?!
patriot 3050 Windows XP

ok my question is do you have a mac or windows based laptop
here is why and what happened to my ipod mini
my ipod mini was connected to my macintosh charging while i was using my imac and it came up with a system update 10.4.3 i installed it and finished installing it and afterwards my apple wouldn't recongnize my ipod mini or even display it one the screen i found out by myself that when the apple update got to the end of the update it installed new hard drive drivers but also installed the drivers on the ipod mini which locked out the mini's internal hard drive and my mini then stop responding it would play music and charge but wouldn't connect to the computer
so what i did to fix it was this
i went into utilites in mac os x tiger or any version of os x has this and selected disk utility you will notice that the ipod will appesr in disk utility but not on the desktop this is due to a recent system update driver that isn't compatible with the internal drive on the ipod mini so in disk utility just select format the drive in a mac os partition standard works the best it will then format the ipod and the ipod will apear in the desktop again but not as a ipod let me explain when you format the ipod using the disk utility it formats and even erases the firmware of of the hard drive on the mini so when you are done formating the ipod run the ipod updater to reinstall the ipod's operating system and presto your ipod will now work again
warning: i don't know how to fix this on a ipod in windows so if this is a windows based laptop you need to find someone witha macintosh to do this with sorry
