USB Not Recognised, even though it's not connected

Hi
I have a Z1, my phone is not connected via USB (nothing it connected via USB) but my laptop keeps popping up with a warning message saying 'USB drive is not recognised. One of the USB drives connected to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognise it''
I didn;t think it was the phone, but when I visited a client she had the same error message pop up on her laptop as soon as I used my phone.
This is a bit strange, annoying as it pops up every 30 seconds and also a bit worrying.
Any adivce would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

HT201320 I have an ipad4 and when trying to register an account on a website my email address is not recognised even though it has been completed using autofill so it is correct. the websites keep telling me my email address is incorrect.

When I try to complete a registration form to join a website/ open an account using wifi on my ipad 4 I enter the details using Autofill.
Hence my email address is entered automatically and is 100% correct.
However I keep getting the same error message: your email address is incorrect.
My account is with BTYahoo and I am able to send and receive emails without any problems.
I' ve recently visited an Apple store and discussed this problem with a genius but they said they haven't encountered this problem before so we deleted my old account and added a new one with the same information but today I tried to join another website and again the email address isn't accepted.
Any help gratefully received.

Thanks for that suggestion!!
So far it's worked but can't understand why Autofill adds the exact same details but the website fails to accept the email address.
Thanks again.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Hey CarlyR_,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues related to iTunes Store authorization. The following resources may help to resolve these issues:

HT4617 Even though thunderbolt is not hot puggable in Bootcamp, is the use of mini displayport to vga/dvi still hot pluggable under Bootcamp?

Even though thunderbolt is not hot puggable in Bootcamp, is the use of mini displayport to vga/dvi still hot pluggable under Bootcamp?

This is Apple support on the subject

Can I plug and unplug devices into a Thunderbolt peripheral that is already recognized?
Yes. That is the best way to add and remove devices from the Thunderbolt chain while Windows 7 is running.
Have you tried?

After upgrading to Lion Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software. Gives error 9931. What gives?

After upgrading to Lion, Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software. Gives error 9931. What gives?

Ouch, if it is indeed damaged, then sadly you need to restore the whole danged huge OS!
Didn't used to be this way before Lion/10.7.
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

When i send an imessage to another person with imessage, my husband also receives the message, even though it was not sent to him. We have always been on the same itunes account and not had this problem, however, when i added the ipad, this started.

When I send an imessage on my ipad to someone, my husband also gets the message, even though he was not selected as a receipient. This just started when I got my ipad and sent a message for the first time. As a side note, my daughter received an itouch and both my husband and i were getting all messages she sent, no matter which one of us they were sent to. I turned her imessage off. We have all of our devices under the same itunes account so that we can share all music and apps. How can we get around this? I do not want him receiving all imessages that I send, this will get very annoying to him.

You can have a separate AppleID only for iMessage and keep using the other one for iTunes.
Just change the AppleID used for iMessage in Settings > Messages > Receive At

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected. Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices. After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected. Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP. Any solutions other than turning it on and off again? Not a Merry Christmas morning.

Ok, so, a couple of things: Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod. Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel. Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem. Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet. Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod.
Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

How do I authorize my 100+ previously purchased itunes music that is in protected aac form? It prompts that my computer is not authorized even though it is.

How do I authorize my 100+ previously purchased itunes music that is in protected aac form? It prompts that my computer is not authorized even though it is.

are you saying that your computer is autharized from guessing, or do you know it is becuase it says it. in itunes, go to the advanced tab and the last option in that tab should be either aurhorize, or de-authorize. What does it say?

When i open iPhoto, it shows my iPod touch is connected even though it's not.

When I open iPhoto, it shows that my iPod touch 4th generation is connected under the devices tab even though it is not. Here is a screen shot of what it looks like.
Then when I plug in my iPod, iPhoto still will not open, i still get the same screen image when i manually open it and it will not show me anything that is on the iPod. I have tried unmounting it in the device tab and restarting iPhoto. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

well, kiss my grits!! i feel like i am running a pc today. after making this post i shutdown all my apps and then did a restart, and low and behold when i plugged in my ipod, iphoto opened and it recognized the photos. go figure all it needed was a restart.

Apparently, BT are capping me even though I'm not ...

Hey there, Recently I have been getting really slow speeds during peak times, I know you'll say "Thats what is meant to happen" and I know it is but my internet is going so slow that I can't load YouTube videos and play on Xbox LIVE from around 5:20pm till about 11:30pm all week. Sometimes even loading web pages is painfully slow. Heres something though: We are currently with Sky for Broadband. We called them up and we checked everything, It isn't Sky that is capping us because we checked our current speeds and sure enough I was getting the speed advertised therefore they said it was BT capping us. I have been livid because gaming doesn't take up much bandwidth, we can't upgrade our internet because we are outside Sky's network coverage area. So they said they'd reset something to get rid of the cap but that didn't work. So, from what I have seen and been told BT is capping us even though we are not with them and they are giving us slower speeds than what they cap their customers are. Shocking. Any Help?
P.S we recently switched from BT because we kept being getting disconnected every 3 - 4 hours and we had no "cap" on Sky until about a month ago.

The reason that I was saying that it was BT is that Sky themselves told me BT was capping peoples speeds. My limit is 40GB which there is NO WAY I am hitting as I don't download much and I watch YouTube and do online Gaming which as I said doesn't take up much bandwidth. The possible reason Sky could have said that it was BT is because they control everything in my area. I will try other forums like this and report back
I'm afraid Sky are lying to you. BT do *not* cap other operator/ISP connections.
Sky are your provider, get onto their service desk and tell them to stop palming you off onto someone else. It is a Sky problem, not BT. If Sky don't have enough bandwidth to supply their customers, then that is a Sky problem, not BT. It doesn't matter if BT control everything or not, Sky are paying BT to use their equipment and bandwidth, if there is not enough - then it is Sky promising to deliver something they are unable.

I was not complete clear.
Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section. If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.
