USB won't connect to my iBook

I recently purchased an iPod Shuffle (2nd gen) and it won't connect to my first usb outlet of my iBook. If this helps, the iBook is a G3, late 2004 model. If I physically hold the cable in, then it pops up on iTunes, but the moment I release, it ejects it. However, it fits fine in the second outlet. Does anyone know what that's about?

Huh, well, that's too bad if that is the case. The thing is, when I first plugged it into the first outlet, it fit fine. It was just overnight that it stopped working. I'll get it looked at to see if it's plugged or something. It can't possibly be the cord itself, seeing as I just purchased it on the 27th.

HP Photosmart C3180 through USB won't connect (Windows 8 Embedded)

We have an HP Photosmart C3180 which works fine on either a laptop or other pc's with Windows 7, however when we try to install it on a Thin-client which has Windows 8 Embedded it can't find the printer when we use the installer package from the HP site. (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-110014-2&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
The installer will show the message to plug in the USB cable into the pc, but when we do it shows the connection is established but then after about 6 minutes it will fail. In the device manager we do get the printer shown as Other Device and shows that it needs to update its driver. (which wont work.)
I tried to manually add the driver after extracting the installer file but none of the inf. files allow me to install the correct driver. Or at least, thats what windows tells me
Is Windows 8 embedded not supported?

Hi @SHS_NL
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as Windows Embedded 8 Standard is a modular operating system designed for Enterprise use.
My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
I don;t know if this would help at all but it is the best I can offer; Windows Embedded 8 Standard
Best of luck.

USB won't connect

When I connect my USB cord to my laptop to sync my iPhone 4 it has an error message saying "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)" I have reinstalled iTunes twice and uninstalled and reinstalled my USB! HELP!

it's a windows driver messup
doing a cleaning of corrupt drivers may fix it
otherwise a windows reinstall is required

WLAN USB Adaptor & Internt connection problem on iBook G3 Mac OS X 10.2

Hi everyone - I hope someone may be able to help me!
I have an old iBook which I haven't used for over a year and am not particularly computer savvy anyway. I've booted it up again to find the driver for my ASUS WL-167g adapter was missing... can't remember why now, but found the driver online and reinstalled it successfully. It picks up the network at home fine, shows good signal strength and yet when I open internet explorer I get "specified server cannot be found".
In Network I'm at a loss as to what means what let alone the settings that it should be on! Can anyone talk me through what settings should be on in the network pane? In previous homes I've never had any issues. Should also note that I live in shared accomodation and the router is in someone else's room, so access to it is limited!
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Do you know any more information about the network?
Such as:
Is the IP static or is it assigned via DHCP? In other words, does the router hand out IP's to it's clients or do you have to set it manually?
Secondly, do you know if the router is using any kind of encryption? If you are and the key is not set on the wireless card, you will not be able to get on the internet without setting it.
Just a couple of things to start with. Check these and get back with us.

The USB won't connect to Itunes

can not up load music to it what should I do

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_5
the iPhone5 has 1GB of RAM, and internal storage of 16, 32, or 64GB.
It does not use SD cards.
Fake iphones are really Android phones using the skin of iOS6.
Click on the App Store icon. If it takes you to Apple's App Store, then it's a real iPhone.
But if you are directed to Google Play, then I'm afraid you've gotten a copy.

Can see Airport Express, but iTunes won't connect and more..

I'm running Mac OSX 10.4.2 on an Aluminium PowerBook G4, connected to an Airport Extreme Base Station - which can use the internet etc easily. I have an Airport Express, which can be seen & changed in Airport Admin, and can be seen in iTunes - but can not be connected to in iTunes - it tries for about 30 seconds, and then gives up, not even an error message? I'm not sure if it's a related issue, buit an old iBook running OSX 10.3.9, connects to the same Airport Express, no problems. But the PowerBook, whilst it can see the iBook, won't connect to the iBook via Airport - it tells me it is not operational, or something.
Can anyone think of anything that may fix the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Is this a new problem on this Powerbook - or has it never worked? While there are many (and some very obscure) causes for this problem, one of the more common causes is firewall software of some sort. This also includes applications designed to monitor outgoing network data (like spyware) on a Mac, like "Little Snitch".

5th gen ipod won't connect to usb 3, is there a fix?

I have an ipod video (5th gen), and it won't connect to my new asus laptop since it only has usb 3 ports (I don't care if it will charge or not, I have a dock), my question is whether it could potentially connect to my computer so I could sync it if I use a usb 2 hub or something similar. My ipod recently formatted itself when it forced a reset, so I have to get my music all back. Anyone know a fix to it? Thanks for any help you guys can give me, really driving me crazy not having music to listen to when I'm out...

You did install the latest version of iTunes on your new computer, correct? Installing iTunes is how the software needed for iPods to be recognized as iPod gets installed. Otherwise, Windows sees it as a generic device.
https://www.apple.com/itunes/
If the iPod is recognized by Windows, but not iTunes, you should go through this trouble-shooting document.

FYI - My 3rd gen iPod from 2003 works fine with the latest iTunes; there's no such thing as an iPod that is too old.

I dropped my ipod touch 3 generation into some water. Now it shows me the itunes logo and the usb cord picture. I restored my ipod, and now it won't connect to itunes or my computer. What should I do?

Hey
Does it charge when connected, if not you may have broken it..
You can always try an apple Genius at an Apple Store,

IBook G4 airport card sees networks, won't connect?

This iBook was connected before, I just restored it, updated all I could (wired) but now won't connect to my wireless network. I have a good signal with other computers and iPhones.

I also have a similar problem. My AirPort Extreme card sees the network, and even connects to it. But every 10 minutes or so, it will seem like it's not connected. At those times, I can't load pages or use internet for anything on my computer, but other devices can.
The only way for me to make it work again is by deactivating AirPort, and then activating it again. Then it will work for a short period of time, and I'll have to repeat the process again. Any idea on why it does this? The card is well connected and all, and it only started doing this a day or two ago, it was fine before that.
I'm running an iBook G4 with OS X 10.3.9.

My usb cord won't connect to my macbook air

Whenever I plug my phone into the USB cord and then into the Macbook Air, it won't connect! The phone vibrates and I can't sync music or photos!
We replaced the Macbook and this is still happening, then we replaced the USB cord with one that we bought at our local Apple store. '
Any advice?

As I said that indicates the cable that you used between the iPod and computer is bad

I just bought a 4th gen 8GB iPod touch ,won't connect to iTunes/iStore I've been told by support that I have to have a WiFi network. We travel in an RV, never near a WiFi network.I have a USB Telstra mobile b'band dongle. How can I get iPod to work

th gen. 8GB iPod Touch. It won't connect to iStore. Support say it has to have access to a WiFi network. We travel a lot in an RV and rarely have access to WiFi. I connect the iPod to a laptop which has a Telstra USB mobile broadband dongle. I explained this in detail and was told by the sales assistant that the iPod would work on this setup. It doesn't. Has anyone got around this problem?

Go back to the sales assistant and gently place the iPod where... well, you get the idea.

3rd party USB mouse won't work with G4 iBook 10.3.9

3rd party USB mouse (see specs below)won't work with G4 iBook 10.3.9.
http://www.inland-products.com/singleproduct.asp?search=usb&partnum=07340-SpecR
I notice the specs say this mouse works with windows(no mention of Mac) yet the guy where I bought it assured me it would work fine with a Mac. The keyboard/mouse preferences shows a muouse but there is no movement or response from mouse. I would assume it was not reading it if not from appearance of "mouse" preference. I also have intalled UBBoverdrive in hopes that that might help but device/mouse menue does not appear to support mouse.
Is there a way to get this to work or should I just return it to the vendor?
Can anyone suggest a good CHEAP 3n button mouse for Mac?

The name of that mouse is deceiving. It is not a USB mouse it is a wireless mouse. Unfortunately without the proper OS X drivers for the USB/wireless adapter you won't be able to get that thing to work.
If you are looking for an inexpensive USB mouse, checkout the Kensington Mouse in a Box Optical.
Does your iBook have Bluetooth? If so take a look at the Kensington PilotMouse Mini Bluetooth Mouse. I have one of these and it works great.

My iBook i just bought from USA won't connect to my wireless

My iBook i just bought from USA won't connect to my wireless that my iMac works on. Please help I'm seriously clueless and its driving me crazy!
I just says error when i type in the key and invalid password when I type in it in network assistant! ):): It comes up as WAP being the only option when I click the network name. but i don't actually know what WAP means....

Go to Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > System Profiler to tell the MHz rating, how much RAM is installed, and what type of optical drive it has.
To run Repair Permissions, go to Utilities again, and click on Disk Utility. Choose the named hard drive ("Macintosh Hard Drive" unless it's been renamed), and click on "Repair Permissions."
What encryption are you running on your network? Do you have a router? If so, it needs to be set to a mode that will work with the 802.11b standard, since that is what the iBook's original AirPort Card uses.
