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?

  • Iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done all trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail.

    iphone 4 not recognized and will not sync after latest itunes update.  I have done recommendedl trouble shooting and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes to no avail. Can I go back to earlier version of itunes or restore computer to fix?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

    Hi NeoCK,
    According to your description, you can access your report successfully, but it fail to send e-mail subscription. Right?
    In this scenario, since you can access the report successfully, so this user has permission on report server. Please go to E-mail setting in your Reporting Services Configuration Manager, check if the current user has permission on that SMTP server.
    If this is still not working, please recreate the subscription and try again.
    Reference:

  • Ipod touch not recognized and will NOT reset, therefore none of the "regular" solutions apply.  The apple logo comes up, it boots to "connect to itunes" then stays there forever.  Unintallling reinstalling itunes components also failed.

    I have tried all the regular solutions so please don't clog up the post with those suggestions.  This  problem has been presented many times in many different ways and NEVER solved.  I bought the Ipod touch 3g on ebay so it may have been jailbroken or attempts made in that regard.  What I want to know is:
    IS THERE A HARDWARE PROBLEM THAT CAUSES THIS SYMPTOM, because I always hear the line "ipod firmware is indestructable" even if jailbreakers have messed with it.  I believe the only logical choices here are either ONE: the firmware on the ipod touch CAN be altered to make it inoperable, or TWO: There is a specific hardware malfunction that results in this symptom.    It would be nice if someone knows for sure one way or the other.  I am too far from a dealer to plug it in for analysis.  I am in Cedar Rapids Iowa and to my knowledge the closest hookup is DesMoines, about 120miles.

    Thanks, you brought up an interesting subject---exactly WHAT happens when the battery is completely drained?  And what's the best way to drain it?  Do you usually HAVE to do a restore after a dead batt?  If so, maybe this is the solution. because it seems to think it has booted properly, and yet it won't continue past "connect to Itunes screen, then it soon goes into hybertation and power save just like normal.   Is ALL memory taken out of the device, like draining a cmos on a desktop,  I have been contemplating draining the bat just like holding in the power button to drain a cmos.  The only other logic that makes sense is the usb interface (as you mentioned, "iPod is not immune to hardware problems")  I bought TWO new cables, to no avail.  MAYBE it is a mechanical connection issue and not a software one, I guess I'll try that too.
    edit:  sorry, missed this in your suggestion...as mentioned here, it does NOT stay on, but goes into power save so batt won't drain that way.

  • IPod touch 4th gen is not recognized and will not charge. Tried 3 cords. Help!

    We have tried updating, restarting both the iPod and the Mac, 3 cords and 3 different connecting sights (computer, car, and treadmill).  Not recognized and not charging. 

    - See:

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 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.

    This will not necessarily work if the Device has been modified.

  • Yesterday, I plugged in my iPod to sync, and my computer opened iPhoto as it always does. It obviously recognized the device, but the iPod sis not appear in iTunes and I therefore could not sync it. Is there a setting I may have accidentally turned off?

    and my computer opened iPhoto as it always does. It obviously recognized the device, but the iPod sis not appear in iTunes and I therefore could not sync it. Is there some setting I may have accidentally turned off?
    Also, today, there seems to be no sound coming through either my internal speakers or my headphones, and not just in iTunes. I doubt these two problems are related, but perhaps there is something beyond coincidence and an old computer?

  • TS1363 My ipod will not turn on at all.  When I connect it to the laptop by the USB, it does not recognize it at all.  What could possibly be the problem?  The Nano was working like 30 minutes ago.

    About 30 minutes ago, I was adding some music to the ipod Nano.  Everything was working fine.  Now, the ipod will not turn on at all.  When I connect it to the laptop with the USB, the computer does not even recognize it.  The screen has a fant image of the plug on it and it says connected.  I followed the procedures for disconnecting it when I was finished with it earlier.  Any idea what is going on here???
    Thanks

    It probably needs to be reset. The procedure is different for different Nano models: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/assistant/itunes/
