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.

Ventrilo, Logitech Premium USB Headset 350 and System Preferences

Hi all,
I have some troubles using ventrilo on my G5 (same problems also on a new iMac).
Ventrilo is working, I'm using it with World of Warcraft, and using it with a Logitech Premium USB Headset 350 (but the problem happen also with Logitech 250).
After some times I'm using Ventrilo, this is very random, people in Ventrilo stop hearing me. I noted that opening the System Preferences, checking the Sound panel, the Logitech is selected as sound in, but the visual signal on the panel is blank (if I speak on the microphone no signal is visualized).
What I need to do is to disconnect the Logitech from the USB and reconnect it. I need also to exit from Ventrilo and relaunch it.
Then all is working good again, naturally till this happen again (may be 5 minutes after as 30 minutes).
I've also tried to remove Ventrilo and its preferences and reinstalling it. This assuming that the cause of all this is Ventrilo and not MacOSX. But this happen also on a new iMac...
Thanks for any help!

Hi Croma12,
The problem is not Ventrilo - it's Logitech's headsets and the driver software.
I have had both the USB 350 and USB 250 - each have the same problem, that is, not being recognized when freshly connected. It's a trip to the Sound Preferences pane each time to reset. Often we need to toggle the Mute checkbox to make the headset work.
Even worse, 90% of the time when I connect the headset, it freezes my MacBook completely, necessitating a forced restart. Not Cool.
I've combed through the Logitech support library and discussion forums - as a company, their Mac support is very poor, and their forum moderators know very little about Mac hardware.
To make the switching of sound sources a little easier, Google for "soundsource" - it's a menu-bar widget that will sometimes enable the Logitech headset without needing a trip to the Sound Preferences.

"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 with 160G ipod

I did absolutely nothing different, no updates, no hardware upgrades, didn't drop my ipod, suddenly when I plug my 160g classic into my computer vista just says "usb device not recognized" and I cant do anything. I can charge my ipod on my radio dock but that's it. I've tried plugging it into 2 32bit vista desktops, 1 32bit vista laptop, 1 XP laptop, and 1 64bit vista laptop and they all give me the same message. I've tried many different usb ports, and 2 different cables, nothing works. Help please!

I don't know if this will help you, but I was having the same problem and when I sent it off for repair...they sent it back saying it was not under warranty b/c it had liquid damage, etc...bunch of BS! Anyway, I called tech support to do a little venting and the technician said i should try uninstalling itunes, Apple updates, and quicktime which will not mess up your library, etc. Restart and then download newest version of itunes from apple website which i did. I restarted again and then connected IPOD 160G to it and to his credit...Ipod started to connect and be recognized in itunes. I had to restart one more time w/ ipod connected so it would all sync, but bottom line...it worked. Apparently, the itunes/quicktime updates can screw w/ these new ipods causing problems. Why they just don't come out and say that or at least suggest this line of solution when they send an ipod back unrepaired...i don't know....very poor cust service on that end of it. Hope that helps.

Zen Vision M...USB Device Not Recognized

My Zen Vision M 30g?is no longer recognized by my computer. I get the following message: "USB Device Not Recognized: One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it." I haven't changed anything on my computer (Windows XP Home Edition SVC Pak 3), so I don't know why it would not recognize my player all of a sudden. My zen still plays and charges using the portable charger, so it is still usable; however I can't change anything on the player. So far I've tried disc clean up, changing USB ports and plugging it into another computer (got the same message). I haven't seen anything on the bulletin board about "malfunctioning." Does this mean my zen is done?

Thanks. I keep getting directed to that knowledge base page, but it is not addressing my problem. My computer immediately tells me that the device has "malfunctioned" and the computer does not recognize it. I only have the usb cord that came with the zen, so I don't have another one to try. I love my zen and have staunchly defended it over the years vs. an i-pod. However, this is my 2nd one in 5 years. (The first one fried itself, but fortunately was still under warrantly.) Sadly, I, too, am considering moving on. I onlyreceived generic help fromthe Creative SupportTeam (who ultimately told me my zen is "unrepairable" when their one-size-fits-all solutions didn't work).Since there seems to be an overwhelming # of people experiencing similar problems, maybe the time is right to make the change, especially since an iPod classic 60 GB (7th Generation) is quite affordable these days.

"USB device not recognized." "The connection between your device and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again." Tungsten E2, Outlook 2007

Hi,
I am running XP SP 2, on a Dell Vostro 1000, Palm OS Garnet v5.4.7 on a Tungsten E2. I have worked though issues relating to synchronization, Outlook 2007, Docs to Go, etc., in the past. Thank you board members!
Once I worked thru all the initial problems, my Tungsten E2 was sync' ing beautifully to my laptop until a few days ago. There have been no changes (I know of) to the configuration, but now I receive "The connection between your device and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again." On the laptop I sometimes get "USB device not recognized." I am unclear why I get the PC message sometimes and not others.
I have tried the following: (not necc exactly in this order)
Double checked Hot Sync Mgr settings: Local USB (ver. 6.0.1)
Reset the Palm (multiple times)
Rebooted the laptop (multiple times before and after the Palm resets)
Went to Support Libraries including http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=57,E=0000000001060189973,K=9550,Sxi=3,Case=Obj(3695...)
and http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=PalmSupportKB,ts=Palm_External2001,Case=obj(1409)
Followed the steps in "Start Here" found at http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=windows_hotsync&thread.id=26057
Moved Backup directory as per a post on this forum
Looked for a deleted a file called "Graffiti_ShortCuts_____________" per a post on this forum
Followed the steps in HotSync troubleshooter guide you can run through located on
http://kb.palm.com
Went into Device Manager - found it shows no yellow ! 's
Followed Device Mgr Troubleshooter - went all the way thru with no solution
Tried all four USB ports - the PC's bell-like tone does not sound when I disconnect or reconnect the Plam's cradle like it does when I conn/disconnect other USB devices -I think that is a clue. ...?
Cleaned the Palm's contacts (and cradle's contacts with a old, dry toothbrush)
Read all the posts under "USB device not recognized."
OK, I'm at a loss, can anyone help me? Many thanks in advance!
~Bob
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

Hello!
Using a cradle with the Tungsten E2? Tried bypassing the cradle and just use the hotsync cable? Tried a different computer yet? Somehow, the PC is having problems getting a signal from the device. I assume you have the laptop charger plugged into the laptop during this? Not going through a docking station or port-replicator.
One crazy thing you can try is unplug the charger from your laptop, remove the battery from the laptop and leave it out for like 10mins and put it back in and reboot the laptop. This should not cause side effects but still contact your OEM to make sure that nothing else is needed after leaving the battery out for extended period of time. Keep me posted.

Logitech H390 usb headset issue

I just bought Logitech H390 usb headset, works great. Until I put my computer to sleep when not in use. Then, they do not work. Still show up in the sound settings under system preferences. I have to restart the computer for them to work again. Unplugging them does not work either.

I was experiencing the same difficulties and getting no where, when I decided to stasrt my Skype program. Lo and behold, the headset started working with my iMac. It may have been a totally random event, but it also may be that the Skype program has some protocols/settings that interfere with normal recognition of the H390.
Its worth check out.

New USB Problems - USB Device Not Recognized

I've had Ultimate x64 installed for awhile now. It's gone through some growing pains (mostly NVIDIA-related BSOD issues) but it's usually pretty stable. About a week ago it started having USB problems.
I have a SanDisk ImageMate USB 2.0 card reader that suddenly stopped reading my camera media. I also have an HP photosmart 7960 that stopped printing (I was using drivers for another printer, per instructions from HP, because this printer doesn't have Vista drivers). My Memorex flash drive also no longer works, and it no longer sees my Garmin GPS. They all say "USB Device Not Recognized".
I contacted HP and they determined that my USB needed to be rebuilt. This is what I did:
Unplugged all USB devices.
Removed all related USB software.
Booted up in safe mode and went to Device Manager and uninstalled, in this order: USB root hubs, then USB host controllers.
Even in safe mode, I couldn't get everything to stay deleted. As soon as I deleted a USB host controller it would reinstall itself and install a root hub.
I rebooted, and now I'm trying to install the SanDisk card reader. It installs it, and then there is an exclamation point next to "USB Mass Storage Device" in Device Manager. I've tried to update the driver (also by having it look in C:\Windows and all subfolders) and it says "Windows was able to successfully install device driver software, but the driver software encountered a problem when it tried to run. The problem code is 10."
So I seem to be stuck with no USB. I've been throwing new hardware at Vista, determined not to go back to XP. However, I'm sure I can't work without USB. What should I do at this point?
Thanks!

WHY hasn't anyone replied to this thread? This is a huge issue, and I am certain millions are affected. Glowball, did you find a solution.
I have had major issues with my PC Card (PCIMIA SLOT) Adapter TYPE I & II Compact Flash Card Readers, which were plug and play in XP, give the same behavior - now you see it , now you don't! None of the manufacturers were willing to provide any acknowledgement nor certify their devices for VISTA. However, on the MS Support site I did find the attached instruction for a Reg Edit which allows the assignment of an IRQ to the PC Card Adapter in VISTA - apparently this was not required in XP (is this an advance in the OS??? I think not!). IRQ 16 was assigned, and now works great on my Vista Home Premium laptop.
On my other Vista Business laptop, I have a PC Express Cardslot - haven't tried an Adapter for SD + cards yet there, but supposed to not have the same issues, I believe. However, I am having the same issue Glowball describes above with my USB Card reader. It is USB 2.0 high speed certified and has been working great for Readyboost with an 8 GB SD card inserted and adding 4 GB of Readyboost "ram". However, when I also inserted a CF card into the adjacent slot of the same card reader, it has become an "unrecognized device" as noted above. Tried unplugging, replugging USB cable. Although still displayed in My Computer and Explorer, the drive contents are not updated or active and cannot be opened - get "drive not present error" and the USB error noted above.
I am unwilling to delete the USB drivers/device EVERY time I need to work with a CF card. Surely there is a registry correction for this issue. It must also tie into this IRQ issue noted with the PCIMIA card readers above as well?
Anybody know or CARE?

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.

Hey guys,
So i went to plug my iPhone 3G into my PC running Windows Vista and it comes up with the error message,

ANY suggestions would be great PLEASEEEE!
