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.
Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

80gb Classic won't sync or charge; "USB Device Not Recognized"

I have an 80gb classic, and a 5th gen. 30gb ipod both with the same issue. I recently rebuilt mine and my husband's computers with new MB's and Processors. I reformatted the HDD's and then installed all necessary drivers and the like along with the newest itunes 9. My ipods had no previous problems and worked like a charm 5 mins earlier.
I hooked them up to my computer and windows came up with an error message saying "USB Device Not Recognized...one of the usb devices has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it." I put in my other ipod, same error message.
I have tried everything to fix this including, unplugging all usb's but ipod and trying all usb ports, reinstalling usb drivers, switching to 1.1, uninstalling itunes completely and using older versions 5-8, wiping OS and installing vista instead of XP, putting ipod into disk mode, resetting ipod numerous times, among some other things. This error message comes up on all computers in the house (4) including ones that have not been wiped or upgraded.
In addition to windows and itunes not seeing it, it will not charge via USB or wall AC power. The Ipods are devoid of charge now, but when they were full on battery life they still played music through headphones and stereo with no issues, they just won't do anything computer related it seems.
I have not given up hope because I have about 20gb of music and vids I foolishly didn't back up and I want it back. How is this possible that 2 ipods were fine one second then broken the next? Please, Please, Please need help.

I have a Dell Laptop that I've been synching my iPhone with for six months. Now all of the sudden the connection has been lost. I'm having the same problem as you describe and have tried everything I have seen on this forum and elsewhere to fix it, but nothing is working.
I think it is an issue with the driver, but I have confirmed that usbaapl.sys driver is installed in "Program Files," "Common Files," "Apple," "Mobile Device Support" folder. I tried copying the driver and putting it in the main Apple folder, but that doesn't help either. I have tried removing and reinstalling iTunes multiple times, rebooting my iPhone and computer (many, many times). I've tried updating the driver and pointing the USB device directly to the driver, but it does not see it. The strange thing is that when my iPhone is plugged in, it charges just fine. It just won't connect to iTunes or synch with my outlook anymore.
Does anyone have any suggestions? This is a major issue for me as I have to synch calendars to be able to function between work and home. Doubly frustrating that it used to work and now it does not. The only thing that has changed is that I installed printer software and updated iTunes. No other changes to my computer that I am aware of between when it worked and now.

USB device not recognized with 160G ipod

I did absolutely nothing different, no updates, no hardware upgrades, didn't drop my ipod, suddenly when I plug my 160g classic into my computer vista just says "usb device not recognized" and I cant do anything. I can charge my ipod on my radio dock but that's it. I've tried plugging it into 2 32bit vista desktops, 1 32bit vista laptop, 1 XP laptop, and 1 64bit vista laptop and they all give me the same message. I've tried many different usb ports, and 2 different cables, nothing works. Help please!

I don't know if this will help you, but I was having the same problem and when I sent it off for repair...they sent it back saying it was not under warranty b/c it had liquid damage, etc...bunch of BS! Anyway, I called tech support to do a little venting and the technician said i should try uninstalling itunes, Apple updates, and quicktime which will not mess up your library, etc. Restart and then download newest version of itunes from apple website which i did. I restarted again and then connected IPOD 160G to it and to his credit...Ipod started to connect and be recognized in itunes. I had to restart one more time w/ ipod connected so it would all sync, but bottom line...it worked. Apparently, the itunes/quicktime updates can screw w/ these new ipods causing problems. Why they just don't come out and say that or at least suggest this line of solution when they send an ipod back unrepaired...i don't know....very poor cust service on that end of it. Hope that helps.

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 - Strange problem.

Alright, so as of this this morning out of the blue iTunes will not recognize my 120gb iPod classic. Whenever I try to unplug it and plug it back in I get a pop up error that says "usb device not recognized." I've spent the better part of today googling that phrase and trying everything from the basic 5 Rs, (except for Restore because my PC wont recognize the ipod) to reinstalling my motherboard drivers for the usb ports. Ive tried the iPod in every last USB port on my machine and I still get the same error message.
The weird part is, every other USB device I own works like a charm in every USB port on this same machine, including an old 60 gig iPod video I have. I plug that sucker in and it immediately gets recognized in iTunes. At this point, one would draw the conclusion that there is probably something wrong with the usb port on the iPod classic, however the iPod immediately connects to my laptop as well as my Xbox 360 with no issue. I should mention that I am running Windows 7 Release Canditate, and the iPod has been working fine on this OS for months.
I even went as far as doing a system restore to an older restore point thinking that it was perhaps a Windows update issue. This of course did not work.
There has to be some sort of issue with how that particular iPod communicates with this particular machine and I can't put my finger on it. Its driving me insane. Short of reinstalling Windows, I have no idea what to do from this point forward. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried uninstalling, then reinstalling iTunes (rebooting between the uninstall and reinstall)? Perhaps the issue is a corrupt file within iTunes.

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

USB Device Not Recognized (&IPOD WILL NOT TURN ON)

I have had an iPod Shuffle G2 for 6 months now with no problems until today.
It went flat when I was at my friends place so when I got back to my mums I plugged it into my laptop and it told me "USB Device Not Recognized One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it" I thought there was just a prob with that port in my laptop, so I put it in the other one. So I though Ill wait until I get to my nan and pops and put it in there computer which is where I sync it. Same problem in both ports. Except on this computer the orange light is on but doesnt flash.
Now my iPod doesn't turn on at all..
Which is fantastic..
Help yeah?
My mum is gonna kill me.

thank you for you help so far. I am very frustrated with this thing. I have been trying to correct this problem for hours.
I will try to disable virus protection. but I will have to enable virus protection again. what should i do?

"USB Device Not Recognized" Message when connecting iPod Nano

I get the following windows pop up when connecting my son's iPod Nano
*"USB Device Not Recognized"*
*One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.*
I have successfully connected this device to this computer before so I don't know what has changed.

This did not work for me. I have a laptop that was running Windows XP, and it had no problems recognizing the iPod. I was having problems with XP, and rather then reinstall XP, I did a clean install of Vista. I did a settings transfer, so the new install of iTunes came already configured--I mention this since I don't know if it was a factor.
When I plugged in the iPod, I got the USB Device Not Recognized. The usbstor.inf file did not fix the problem. However, the solution at http://www.winvistabeta.com/groups/275128/ipod-usb-device-not-recognized/message .aspx did fix the problem. Do this:
Reset the iPod:
1. Unplug the iPod.
2. Turn the hold switch to HOLD and then back to off.
3. Hold the Center and Menu buttons for 6 seconds until you get the Apple logo when you release them.
4. Plug in the iPod. It should now be recognized.
This worked fine for me the first time. Thanks! Jack
