USB Port for iPod Not Found

The problem seems to be that the USB port is not being recognized by the software. I tried using Anapod and when I launched the program it could not find the iPod device even though it was connected in the USP port on my laptop.
BTW - I tried all four USB ports and the results were the same
Any ideas how to fix this?

I'm having the exact same problem. I've reinstalled all the iTunes software several times. I have an iPod mini and an iPod nano that will not show themselves in iTunes. However, if I take them to my laptop, they connect perfectly with iTunes. Is there some way to rid myself of the usb drivers for iPod so I can get it to try to recognize the iPods?

  • USB Device for IPOD not recognized by Windows, whether ipod connected or no

    During the past few days I have received a pop up error message from (I would think) Windows that the USB device is not recognized. I have the USB plug for the ipod connected (as always)but the ipod isn't even connected. It keeps popping up like every few seconds that the usb device is not recognized.
    When I attach the ipod itself, the ipod is recognizing it because it powers up. But, it took 10 times just to get the ipod to recognize through itunes. It updated, then immediately upon completion, windows again starting giving repeated error messages that the usb device wasn't recognized.
    I have downloaded the newest itunes but I had it on my system for 4 days with no problems whatsoever. I don't think that's it. No other system changes.
    I've deleted my temp files and cache. Also did a "disk clean up" and "defrag." It's still doing it.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm having the same problem. Ever since I upgraded to version 7, iTunes & my PC no longer recognise my iPod, and it therefore won't sync.
    It's not the USB port (other devices work in it), I rebooted my iPod and re-installed iTunes, I've tried stopping and starting the iPod Service (but can't see my iPod in My Computer). When I run the Diagnostics it says iPod connection failed. I've even bought a new USB cable but that doesn't work either.
    This is driving me up the wall. Is there a glitch with iTunes 7?
    Can anyone help me out?? Thanks

  • USB Port for IPOD?

    My son has an Ipod Classic which does not have wifi. I want to buy a new Airport express for our stereo in order to hook the Ipod to the USB port and transmit music to the stereo. Can this be done?
    Thanks,

    As was noted you can't do this through an Airport express but there are two ways you can play your iPod through your stereo.
    The cheapest is to connect the headphone jack of the iPod to the stereo. Usually your stereo will have RCA jacks for input so you need RCA audio to mini stereo plug see: http://store.apple.com/us/product/TN779LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MTA4MjUwNjE
    The other possibility, if your stereo is hooked up to your TV (or near it) is to also play the iPod's video on the TV with the sound through the stereo. To do this you'll need something similar to: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB129LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MTA4MjUwMzk
    This works great, I use this setup to play my iTunes videos on my TV. Of course I have to copy them to the iPod first but its a fairly cheap solution.

    If all your ports are in use, try buying a USB hub, they are inexpensive and will give you several more ports.  Google for them.

  • My computer has Bitlocker encryption. When I plug in my iPod Shuffle to the USB port, iTunes does not recognize it.

    My computer has Bitlocker encryption. When I plug in my iPod Shuffle to the USB port, iTunes does not recognize it. When asked to encrpt the Shuffle I say no, but still not recognized. When I encrypt it, still not recognized (even after it was restored by iTunes). Any suggestions please?

    Did you find a solution?
    My touch is doing the same thing.

  • When my ipod nano is plugged into my computer it says ipod not found

    My ipod nano no longer connects to computer.  It still works when playing elsewhere and Itunes is working as well.  It is exempt from firewall so that's not the problem.  Not sure if my ipad or iphone will connect.  I am afraid to test them at this point.  I tried another usb cable (Apple) so that's not the problem.  Diagnostics says ipod not found.

  • Splitting the Time Capsule USB port for 2 devices ??

    So if i have and external HD plugged into tc usb port and I also need to plug in a netflix ready blue ray player to the same port- is there a splitter I can buy to do this or what other options do i have?
    I have an extra airport extreme I am not using-could I run an ethernet cord to it and use that usb port for my second device without and problems?
    Thx

    First, yes it is possible to attach multiple devices to the TC's USB port. You will need a USB hub though. Some users have discovered that not all hubs are compatible with the TCs USB port. So you may need to shop around if the first one doesn't work.
    However, the USB port on the TC is designed primarily to handle external HDs or printers. That is, it is designed to make them available to your local network, not to the internet. So I have doubts that the BR player will be able to have full interest access via the TCs USB port.
    See this KB article:

    Hope this clarifies things a bit. Cheers!

  • HT3625 I have a 2012 macBook Pro 13" and the option "Use audio port for" does not appear at all in the sound menu. why is this? im running  mountain Lion 10.8.2

    I have a 2012 macBook Pro 13" and the option "Use audio port for" does not appear at all in the sound menu. why is this? im running  mountain Lion 10.8.2

    Because line-in has been removed.
    It does allow for an Apple headset with mic., but I don't know if it would work with third-party ones.
    You'll need to use a Griffin iMic or similar to use line-in via a USB port.
    The same goes for the 15" retina, the newest MBA and the new iMac (whenever it finally arrives).

  • I tried to set up my new ipod shuffle and a error message popped up saying Ipod not found cannot update.  I can't sync my ipod now but it is showing on itunes.  What should I do?

    I bought a new 4th gen ipod shuffle and tried to sdet it up last night.  I installed the latest itunes software and started to sync my ipod, but error boxes kept popping up saying ipod not found cannot sync.  It was showing in itunes, then it would disappear, then it would come back.  I am not very good with computers so I don't know what to do.  Can someone help?

    Do you have an iCloud backup?  If you backed up your old phone to iCloud you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Erast All Content & Settings (which will erase your phone), then go back through the setup screens again and when prompted choose Restore From iCloud Backup.  However your backup won't contain everything in your iTunes library (such as your music) so you'll need to be able to sync with your computer unless you purchased everything from iTunes and want to redownload it to your phone.
