USB Device Not Recognized for iPod on HP pavilion zd7310us w/ XP

Hi, I'm being told by Windows that the iPod needs drivers to be detected properly (which doesn't sound right to me...).
At first it wasn't even charging when plugged into a USB port. I've since reset it 3 times and solved that problem.
However, it still tells me that it's an unrecognized device. The laptop is about a year old, give or take 3 months, so I don't think the USB hardware version is a problem. The USB ports work, my optical mouse is currently plugged in and working fine.
The iPod also doesn't show up in either Windows Explorer or iTunes.
Any suggestions??

Alright, nevermind. After reading about the cable problems I went out and got another. Seems to be working now.

"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.

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 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.

USB device not recognized for iphone

My iphone 4S had an issue and was sent away for repair and in the end it was replaced. I backed all my Apps up to ITunes before sending it away.
I tried plugging my new Iphone into my laptop and it comes up with the error "USB device not recognized", although it worked fine before I sent the phone away.
I went to my device manager and found the device, however it says Unknown device and when I try to update it is says that this is the most up to date version.
I uninstalled ITunes and reinstalled it which made no difference. ITunes also does not find the phone.
I also removed all the Apple programs on my laptop and then tried to connect the phone again but this made no difference.
I have restarted the laptop and this also made no difference.
I called the Apple help line and they can not work it out and suggest I take the phone back to the shop to be checked.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?

DId you uninstall iTunes and all it's components? Or just the iTunes program? Apple Mobile Device would be the main cause more than likely. So it is important whether you uninstalled all the programs or just iTunes. If so what I would try next is putting the device into recovery mode and seeing if it detects it like that.

Usb device not recognised for ipod touch

Just bought new ipod touch. Connected ok to start with and managed to set up but I know keep ketting the message 'USB device not recognised'. Says something about no drivers installed, but then system says no updated drivers available. Have followed all the help tips, reset the ipod and the only thing I haven't done is reinstall itunes. Is that likely to help? Is the problem likely to be the ipod itself? Any help much appreciated.

have a look at this support article.

sprakanitezz, download and install the latest Nokia PC Suite or Ovi Suite and the Nokia Software Updater. Now, connect your phone to the PC using the USB cable and choose PC Suite mode in the pop-up menu. It should get detected properly.
If it's not the case, I would suspect a faulty USB cable.
Check what version of firmware is there in your phone. From the many forums, I've heard that v21 is more stable than v30. Therefore, it will be better if you do some research on whether to update to the latest one immediately.

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 (&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

My computer no longer recognizes my 7th Gen iPod Nano. "USB Device not recognized." What can I do to fix this?

Hi!
So here's what happened: My nano has been working just fine. I plugged it in this morning to my computer, and it automatically turned on, but instead of charging, it went to play music. I turned it off. However, it did not switch to charging mode. So I unplugged it, and then I plugged it back in. "USB Device not recognized." My iPod won't turn on anymore, and my computer simply does not recognize the nano.
It may have gotten slightly damp yesterday as it rained a bit when I was walking home (though I kept it covered). When I got home, it proceeded to work for another two hours after that--then I turned it off. And this morning? It doesn't work, as described above.

Try cleaning the connector on the bottom of the phone. Use a magnifying glass to see what is stuck inside, a dry toothbrush and/or wood or plastic toothpicks (nothing metal). If that doesn't resolve the problem your phone is broken.
