USB Device Is Not Recognized

Hi, I have a 2nd generation, 4GB i-pod and when I plug my USB cord from my i-pod to the computer it says USB Not Recognized. This morning it was working fine and It charged it also, but later when I wanted to put songs on it, it said USB Device not recognized. I tried everything that I could think of. I restarted the comp. with and without my i-pod connected, Shut down the comp. with and without my i-pod connected, unplugged my comp., put my i-pod in disk mode, and restarted my i-pod. Everytime I plugged my i-pod back in it says USB not recognized. My i-tunes won't recognize it either. It won't even charge my i-pod. please help!!!

  • I have a new Nano and I get a message that says the USB device is not recognized by my computer and I cannot set it up.

    I have a new IPod Nano and when trying to connect to my PC for the first time I get a fault message that says the "USB Device is not recognized by my computer. I have several other IPod devices and have never had this problem. When I go to windows explorer, the device does not show at all, so I cannot manually open it.

    Hello JETaylor2015,
    Congratulations on your new iPod nano!  I would be concerned too if my iPod was not recognized by iTunes or my computer.  I recommend reviewing this article for steps to take when your iPod is not recognized:

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • The computer says the USB device is not recognized

    I have had my iPod for almost a year now and I have not had any problems with it up until now. About a week ago, my computer stopped recognizing my iPod. It showed up on the computer as an unknown device. The computer had been recognizing it before, and I was downloading from iTunes and nothing was going wrong. I plugged my iPod into another computer to see if the iPod or the cable were the problem, but the other computer recognized it. I do not think it is a problem with this computer because other USB devices work in it. I tried every USB port on the computer. I already looked at the troubleshooting page for this problem, and that did not work. Can anyone help me?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Reset the iPod. It may work for you. Several attempts may be needed.

  • HELP!! Zen Micro- USB Device Unknown Not Recognized!!! HEL

    I cant get my zen micro connected. i just bought this zen used and it came with firmware v2.xx. i couldnt connect via usb so i tried reloading the os thinking it would return to factory loaded firmware, but it didnt and now i cant reinstall any firmware. elp!!

    I just noticed this is a duplicate thread.
    Despite this the two things I would recommend are:
    . See if you can find another PC with XP and WMP0 to see if the player is detected. If it isn't then it sounds more like a problem with the player.
    2. Look here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net for lots of advice on MTP connection problems.

  • My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC.  When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized.

    My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC.  When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized.  The Device Manager lists it as an Unknown Device.  I've tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it, but it had no affect.  The odd thing is that our other iPod (160 GB Classic) is recognized on the same computer using the same USB cable.  When I plug the ipod in question into another PC, the PC seems to recognize the iPod and lists it in Windows Explorer (iTunes is not installed on this machine).  There seems to be something out of wack with this PC/iPod combo.  Any thoughts on what I can do to try to resolve this issue?  I tried all of the steps listed here, but they didn't help me.  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Says its an unknown device and has a ? next to it. Also these headphones use the Windows USB Generic Audio Driver but for some reason its not working.
    Any help would be appreciated alot

    Try the latest Bios: >>Beta BIOSes<<
    I will check for a newer version as well right now.
    Edit: .141 is the latest.
    Might want to check for a firmware update for the usb device as well.
    Edit#2: Install the ram properly and see if that changes anything. Locking this topic as it is a duplicate.

  • When I plug my iPhone in to my computer, iTunes doesn't recognize it as a device.  I have deleted and re-downloaded iTunes twice which seems to fix the problem temporarily but then the next time, the device is not recognized.

    What happens if you go to iTunes > File > Devices, do you get the option to Sync iPhone?
    You could try a reinstall of iTunes. OS X Yosemite: Reinstall apps that came with your Mac

    BACK UP YOUR REGISTRY!!! Editing the registry can be (read: IS) dangerous and can cause no end of pain if done incorrectly.
    - To Back Up your Registry: Click START menu and click RUN. Type REGEDIT. Click File, then choose Export and type a name for the Registry Backup, something like REGBACKUP012015 or whatever works for you.
    - Click Export and let it export the registry to a file.
    - To fix the issue: Follow the folder tree on the left to: HKeyLocalMachine > System > Current Control Set > Control > Class
    - Find {EEC5AD98-8080-425F-922A-DABF3DE3F69A} down the LEFT hand side and click on it.
    - Under the list on the RIGHT hand side find UpperFilters
    - Right-Click UpperFilters and click Delete
    - Close the registry editor and restart your PC (without the iphone attached).
    - Once restarted and logged back in, plug in your iphone and voila!  Windows will actually choose the correct driver.

    At present I have no power to the Gen 7, so need to get some power to it I think.  I pressed the buttons as you suggested, but nothing is showing up at this point.  Thank you for your response as the more I can rule out before  I take it back the better I think.
