Why is logitech 350 usb headset not recognized by my MBP?

I have a Logitech Premium USB Headset 350 that is not recognized (at all) by my fairly new MBP, which is running OS X Lion 10.7.5. I have run all of the available software updates but the headset it still not recognized as an input or output device (under system preferences). When I plug it into my old PC (Dell Inspiron) it is recognized immediately and works perfectly. Can you please help me with this? I really want to me able to use the headset on my MBP.
I have emailed Logitech several times and they have been unhelpful!

Either read the headset user manual or contact the vendor. You should also try posting in the Bluetooth forum area.

Error: USB Headset not recognized

HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC WV703AV
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium - 64bytes
Error: No error... just not working
Hello, I just bought an USB headset SOMIC and after plugging it to the PC I realize it wasn't working. At the beginning I got mad thinking that it was about the headset, however after testing it in several computers with different Operative Systems(windows 7 x64, windows XP x32 & x64) I realize that actually they worked perfectly... so whats is coming on with my PC? - I thought.
I tried by doing the following:
    1st - Changing it of USB Port - I tried the 4 of them.
    2nd - Updating the sound Drivers.
    3rd - Installing the Headset's drivers.
    4th - Downloading & Reinstalling the sound drivers.
    5th - Disabling the computers drivers in order to only use the headset's drivers.
I am getting so angry that I am planning to reinstall my OS, however before doing it I would like to know if you could help me in this matter . It is clear that it is ABOUT THE USB CONDITION OF THE HEADSET as I have others with normal connectors and they work perfectly. Moreover, I JUST REALIZE that AUDIO BEATS monitor the sound settings and it has NO USB CONNECTOR COMPATIBILITY (only HDMI or NORMAL MALE CONNECTORS).
So I tried disabling/uninstalling HP BEATS however it doesn't appear anywhere. Now I dont know what can I do to sort out this issue I am having please help me before I burned my PC . Pleasee I really need your help.
I look forward to hearing from you, thanks in advance.

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?

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

2G Nano-USB Device Not Recognized message

2G Nano has been sitting for months. Decided to use it as a backup. When connected to computer (tried on 4 different computers running iTunes) I get a "USB Device Not Recognized" message. It shows up in "Device Manager" as an "Unknown USB Device" not an "iPod". Have performed the required 5 Rs and it still will not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Usb device not recognized on shuffle

i have a belkin usb 2.0 device with 2 ports. it is plugged into my ibm thinkpad laptop. the mouse works fine in both ports -as does a photo scanner. but for some reason, the ipod shuffle is not recognized - i keep getting a green blinking lite and a message that says "usb device not recognized". funny, because the shuffle worked fine the other week when i installed all the software after purchase. i've updated windows software and reset the ipod. i've read elsewhere that some people have had the same problem - and that it was a malfunctioning usb port on the ipod shuffle. if so, what a piece of junk. maybe i just need to call tech support and ask for a new shuffle - i don't think that downloading the updater, etc. will help. any suggestions? thanks.

If it's working with other computers (using the same USB cable to connect the shuffle), then the problem is probably related to your computer.
If you connect something else to the same USB port (like a USB flash drive if you have one), does it work?
If you are using a USB hub to connect the shuffle, be sure to try a port that is directly on the computer. And try more than one port that is on the computer.
Also, it may be helpful to know some other details, such as type of computer (Windows or Mac) and the version of OS.
Since this is a laptop, if it has a main battery that can be removed, you may want to try disconnecting it from power and removing the battery. Leave it that way for a new minutes. Then, put the battery back, start it up, run iTunes first, and try the shuffle again. If there was a problem with your USB ports, that may correct it.
