    Windows 7 doesn't recognize ipod touch.

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Then try with the iPod in forced disk mode.

  • Windows does not recognize my ipod

    i've been going at this all day. i've read everything at the support area at apple about this subject. but nothing seems to be working. i've connected my ipod to another computer and the other computer recognizes it right away. so i guess it might mean there's something wrong with my computer. it's really frustrating and i would really like some help. thank you.

    Hi b,
    Well over the weekend, before I could read your last reply, I took the iPod and laptop to the local Apple service centre. Their reply to my problem was. "We are not interested in Windows and do not know what to do with it." they plug my iPod into a Mac and it worked and they said that it was not the iPod, I knew that as it worked on other windows machines. After some other hostile, did I mention that these guys were not helpful....and their attempts to charge me for no service whatsoever. I left, vowing never to return there, even if it meant me ebaying the iPod!
    I went to a major computer retailer and told them my problem and he had never heard of this and wanted to look at what was causing it. This guy not only plug my iPod in my laptop, but his and a brand new one and they all failed to connect. He then plug my iPod into his computer and it worked, after resetting it and remembering to setting it up again, eg. from the language selection.
    After all this trying, including help from the Apple rep and using a diagnostic on the Apple Guys computer still no luck. It appears there was a software problem with the USB drivers, even though all other USB 2.0 devices plug into it worked.
    In final desperation he plugged in a USB 2.0 PCMCIA card and then the iPod into that and it worked!!!!
    I was about to buy this card but the guy said wait a minute and then plugged the iPod into laptop's USB ports and it worked as well!!!! We do not know why it did, not software or drivers were loaded onto the laptop but it appears inserting the PCMCIA USB card activated something and the iPod works now.
    So after 2 1/2 hours at the shop my iPod works and the guy did not charge me, even though I did not buy my iPod from there! So I would like to offer my experience to others and hope this helps and if anyone in Wellington NZ needs some computer stuff go to Harvey Norman on Tory street as I will now do it.
    So b, to recap, plugging in a PCMCIA USB 2.0 card then the iPod into it fixed my issue and I hope that it will help others in the same plight.
    Thank you for your suggestions as well.
    Take care,

  • Windows does not recognise an iPod

    My 5G Nano suddenly stopped being recognised by my PC when I installed iTunes 10.5 yesterday.
    I reset the iPod and completely removed/reinstalled all Apple software, but Windows 7 can't find a suitable driver. Any suggestions?

    I have the same problem. Ill plug my ipod in and itunes will be like "theres an iPod plugged in but theres nothing you can do with it. I have the 6th gen though. I cant find it on my PC either. I've done the same thing, reset and reinstalled everything. Its making me so angry.  I have so much new music on my itunes I wanna listen to. I also have windows xp.

  • Windows does not recognize ipod nano

    i cannot get windows (or itunes) to recongize my ipod nano. once in connect the ipod, i get the 'do not disconnect' message indefinately. it used to work. it reinstalled itunes, reset my ipod, etc. any suggestions?

    thanks, but the troubleshooter assumes windows is recognizing the ipod. in my case it is not. i download itune 7.0 just in case. same problem exists. in fact, since windows does not recognize the ipod, itunes eventually freezes up.

  • IPod Nano: Error Message "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it"

    Hi everyone, I just received 2 brand new iPod Nanos for my kids for Christmas, thought I'd be smart and sync them both now before wrapping them so I don't have to be messing around with them on the day. One synced without a problem, then using the same cable, same computer, same USB port, the 2nd one came up with "The USB device has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it" I've tried restarting my computer, unplugging and reinserting the USB. Is there anthing else I can try before returning it? Thanking you for any help.

    I have solved my problem, I ended up ringing Apple and got an awesome lady who told me to reset it by pressing the sleep button and menu button together for about 10 seconds and once it actually turned on for the first time the computer then recognised it, so it's all good, :-) Thank you lovely lady!

  • Windows does not recognize ipod nano, but it charges

    Hey. If I plug my ipod into my laptop and computer, it does not recognize my ipod. It pops up a message that says that a unrecognizable usb device has been plugged in. It has, however, worked in the past. The ipod charges, but I'm not able to use it as a flash drive or to upload music or anything like that. What can I do to fix this?

    Thanks for the link. It didn't solve the issue on my mother in law's desktop, but it did contain a link to another solution for desktops (and for laptops not helped by the link you provided).
    The link reads: "If you don't have a PC laptop or the steps above did not help, see this document for more information."
    Essentially, putting the iPod into disc mode caused it to be recognized by XP and all was well.
    Anyway, your help is much appreciated as it's particularly difficult for me to work in the Windows enviroment since I so rarely do it.

  • Windows does not recognize ipod whatsoever

    This is so frustrating.
    I just bought a new ipod video after giving up on my old ipod.
    Windows does not recognize the new ipod at all, not even as an extra drive. I'm tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything, restoring the ipod, connecting to different ports. No such luck. I've read up on the past posts concerning this problem with no luck.
    Can anyone help me?

    here's a bit here's what microsotft says:
    To resolve this problem, delete the UpperFilters registry value and the LowerFilters registry value. These values may cause access problems. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit , and then click OK.
    2. Locate and then click the UpperFilters registry value. This value is located in the following registry subkey:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E980-E325 11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    3. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
    4. Locate and then click the LowerFilters registry value. This value is located in the following registry subkey:
    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10 318}
    5. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
    6. Exit Registry Editor.
    7. Restart the computer.
    it worked perfectly for me!make sure to follow the directions. it's easy and resolves many Windows XP problems related to ipods. for more info try microsoft help and support and just serch for ipod. it list a bit more info there. it doesn't say anything about reinstalling the apple software, but just to be thorough i unistalled itunes and quicktime before anything just to start with a clean slate, then reinstalled them from my ipod disk after the restart. then i downloaded all the updates from apple. my ipod has never worked better. good luck. theres no link to the page just search for ipod in windows help and support for exact wording

  • My computer will not recognize my iPod Nano when i connect it. I tried my laptop instead but it said the same thing - one of the USB devices attached to your computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. Can i fix this?

    My 16 gig iPod Nano 7th gen was put of power. I connected it to the computer and it started to turn on (the apple appeared in the middle of the screen). Then left it two minutes and the computer went into sleep mode. My iPod nano had gone off and now it will not turn on, or connect to the computer, so i cannot charge it. I am not sure if it is a problem with the usb cable. When I conntct the cable to the computer nothing happens, but then when i connect the iPod to the cable it says 'one of the USB devices attached to your computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it'. Please don't say its broken already

    It probably needs to be reset. The procedure is different for different Nano models: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/assistant/itunes/

    I was hoping it would be something like a USB device conflict, but now the shuffle is the only thing connected...
    This article was one of the ones you linked to above in your initial post
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
    Under Part 9. Verify that USB drivers are installed, did you try the steps in If only "Unknown Device" appears?  That appears to be your situation.
    Also, you said that the shuffle initially worked well enough to do a sync, then it had the same problem again.  If you can get it to work again initially, before doing anything else, try the following.  Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right, go to the Summary tab.  By default, the checkbox for Enable disk use should be unchecked.  If so, check it and Apply the change.  See if that makes any difference. 
    (If Enable disk use was already checked, try unchecking it and Apply the change.  Basically, set it the "other way" and see if there is any improvement.)
    NOTE:  When disk use is enabled, you have to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it physically.
    If the disk use change makes a difference, that may provide a clue about the actual cause.
