    Hello guys!!Pls help me if someone knows what should I do.my iphone was working perfectly so far but a couple of days ago it stopped charging.its not charging neither with the a/c adaptre nor with the usb through my pc.it says device not recognized..today I had my iphone switched off and tried to see if it was charging and actually it was!but it didnt show that it was actually charging(the battery icon with the bolt didnt appear..but after 3 hours it was fully charged..but this happens only when its awitched off..so i cant connect on itunes and i cant charge it while its turned on!!if someone knows pls help!!!!!!!!!!tnx a lot guys!!!

    I actually had the same problem here you just have to change the cable, i dont know exactly why but i think its because when you have your phone swithced of then it doesnt need more electricity so if a little pass then you can charge it for a while and then the iphone will automaticly open again,, so just go an buy a new cable nothing to scared of

    Try a Hard Reset.....
    Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds.  Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

  • "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

  • "USB Device Not Recognized" error when I connect iPod to my PC

    I have a brand new 5th gen (I think) iPod.
    I have been able to connect it successfully to my home laptop, download music to it and play it so I know the iPod works per se and the cable is ok too.
    Now at work (where tons of my music is) when I connect it to my PC here and I get a "USB Device Not Recognized" error pops up from my taskbar. When I click on the message it pops up a "USB Device Not Recognized" window which displays a list of USB ports, and shows "Unknown Device" for the one where the iPod is connected.
    I think its probably USB1.something as opposed to USB2.0 but from what I understand that shouldn't matter.
    Can anyone suggest anything ?
    I've tried the 5R's as far as I can, and I read through this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=500559&tstart=15
    but there didn't seem to be anything conclusive.
    Thanks for any help,
    Jill

    First make sure the latest iTUnes is installed on this work PC, IF your allowed to install things on it, the latest iTunes version is 6.0.4.2 and can be downloaded from the apple site (Hit iPod+iTunes tab at the very top of this web page)
    Another thing is what version of windows is the work PC? Is it windows XP Windows 2000 Or windows Me 98? iTunes will only run on XP and 2000

  • When I connect.. sometimes it says Device not recognized or malfunctioned!

    Hi. When I connect my ipod to any microsoft device, sometimes my ipod doesnt connect. I cant charge it, or restore it as it behaves like a useless piece of plastic.. I get a yellow bubble 'Device not recognized or has malfunctioned'
    This problem is bizarre! I cannot find anyone who actually has a solution for this problem! Apples standard answer is for me to reinstall my drivers or update itunes or windows. Done it. No solution yet.
    My ipod works fine.... sometimes. Its a completely unpredictable problem. Ive googled this problem and so many ipod classic owners have asked.. solutions ive tried: the 5r's, updating drivers, It managed to connect once, but now it wont. My ipod normally works fine on my PC, XBOX, laptop and Mac.. but sometimes, unpredictably, it wont be recognized by anything apart from the mac. For a month it would not connect at all and I took it in to an Apple store where they told me it works fine. Its not my PC.. its up to date, and theres no reason why it doesnt work on my XBOX because some times it does.. last night it did, today its broken again, I suspect tomorrow it may work. This is SO frustrating!!
    I have alot of experience in PC's and normally I can solve a problem by process of elimination, updating and reinstalling, but in this case.. everything seems fine. My only idea is that maybe its my Sync cable?? Which also makes no sense because it generally connects fine on the mac - and, why would a sync cable be unpredictable.. surely it either works or it doesnt. HELP PLEASE!!
    Nick.
    my email is: [email protected]
    my serial for my 80g classic is 8K819CPKYMV and is under warranty until May 2009, i bought it in August this year.

    there is a good chance that this can be related to bad contact in USB lead.. e.g not enough power from IPOD to PC so that pc cannot recognise it. Where I work I get alot of USB devices on pc's that are not recognised and most of the time it is the connection to the device that is not good enough because the flat end of the USB adapter has been gradually bent over time just slightly and now contact is not good. It can also be todo with drivers or If you are using it through a USB hub.
    so if it is not working through USB hub try direct. also try in back of PC as these Ports or direct access to main board to pc and would be less trouble some if there was a voltage loss from mainboard in pc to front of unit.

  • Getting 'USB device not recognized' message when I never did before.

    Hi there
    I am constantly getting a USB device not recognized when I plug in my nano. I never got this before and as a result all it does is charge. It is not showing up in iTunes anymore so I cannot remove or dowload new songs on to my nano anymore. I have tried to go into control panel and the USB Hub device manager to deselect the power outage option but that did nothing. Please help! I seem to encounter trouble with any accessories Apple sell, whether they be earphones or USB cables.
    Thanks

    i'm getting the same problem too.
    my ipod is nearly about 1 year old.
    i use my ipod nano 2GB for music and as a flashdrive to store my uni work.
    this morning accessing my files in the ipod on the computer was fine.
    then later in the afternoon when i connected it into a computer i keep getting the msg 'usb device not recognised'. also itunes dont recognise my ipod either anymore.
    i use Windows XP at home and uni.
    i've tried my ipod on at least three different computers at uni and just tried at home.
    same msg came up 'unknown device' from windows.
    i've read the other posts in the forum and it mentioned about 5 R's and resetting it.
    BUT the main problem is i DONT have any back up of my uni work and files and they are really really important so i CANT reset the ipod otherwise i will lose all the important things...my assignments, projects, photos...I was meant to make a back up b4 i start uni next monday but i guess now is TOO LATE.
    I've noticed that the socket of the ipod dock conector to usb cable, that connects to the ipod is slightly split open.
    Would this be causing the problem?
    I am in Utter Despair and Desperation at the moment.
    Can anyone help me PLEASE?
    i would be sooooo grateful for your kind help and time.
    kind regards,
    a student who is on the verge of a breakdown due to this problem.

  • Ipod with click wheel. Windows displays device not recognized problem.

    I'm using a ipod with click wheel, and hooking it up through a usb 2.0 port with the stock cable.
    I keep getting a device not recognized message from windows, and the itunes software 8.xxxx does not recognize it even in diagnostics tests. Everything else is pass, except the ipod recognition.
    The battery needs to be charged, and is depleted but its not recieving a charge when plugged into the computer.
    Does anyone have a solution to this?

    If the iPod is not getting a charge through the cable (and the battery is depleted), it may not be recognized because the iPod has no power to do anything.
    I would say the problem is either a faulty dock connector on the iPod, a faulty cable, or a faulty USB port on the computer. You have probably tested the USB port possibility already by trying a different port (or trying another USB device on the same port), so I would try a different USB docking cable as the next test.

  • "Device Not Recognized" - but for only one of three iPods?

    Hi-
    I am hoping to get some help, as I am stumpted. Here are the symptoms:
    1) I have been successfully syncing two Nanos and a Mini on the same XP machine for sometime
    2) One of the Nanos now gets a "device not recognized" message upon connecting, while the other two iPods will still connect just fine.
    3) I've tried charging it fully (and running it down), the five R's, putting it into disk mode (updater doesn't recognize it's attached so can't restore), and installing iTunes on another machine (other machine doesn't recognize it, either).
    4) The problem Nano charges and plays just fine on its own.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Try downloading and installing iPod Updater 2006-01-10 (the version previous to the 2006-03-23) and restoring your iPod with that.
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ipodupdater20060110.html
    If your iPod encounters difficulties being recognized with this updater, put it into disk mode first:

  • When i connect my iphone to itune, it shown Apple Mobile Device not yet started, cannot connect my ipone and itunes, why?

    when I connect my iphone to the iTunes, it said "Apple Mobile Device" service not yet activated, service cannot start?
    What does it mean? I connect my iphone to iTunes everynight, only tonight this message pop out?

    You can try to start the AMDS by going to task manager (ctrl/alt/delete), Choose the services tab and right click on the AMDS and choose start service. This will sometimes work, but usually iTunues needs to be reinstalled. If you reinstall iTunes, follow this KB how to article --> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925

  • When I connect my Nikon 200 to my Macbook Pro it is not recognized.

    How do I transfer the images directly from the camera to my MacBook? What am I missing? I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch that I bought in June 2012.

    Open iPhoto. In the menu bar, go to iPhoto / Preferences / General.
    Make this selection:
    This way when you connect your camera, iPhoto will open. When iPhoto opens it will show the images on the camera. You can select what you want to add to your iPhoto Library. In other words, transfer them to your computer.

  • HT1349 Intermittently when I connect my iPhone to my ihome I get "this device not supported by iPhone".  Why does this happen and what is the fix?

    Intermittently my iPhone doesn't recognize my ihome and it says"this device isn't supported by iPhone".  This is so annoying, any suggestions?

    Might be a dirty dock connector on your phone.  Try gently brushing it with a clean, dry toothbrush and/or blowing on it with a can of compressed air.
