Windows XP does not recognise USB devices after installing itunes 7.2

After downloading itunes 7.2 my PC no longer recognises my ipod nano (2G, 2Gig). Uninstalling itunes 7.2 and reverting to a previous version makes no difference.
On top of this my PC no longer recognises my external USB 2.0 HDD.
Uninstalling and allowing windows to rediscover USB devices \ hubs etc as per MS recomendations has not resolved my problem
Both devices function with no issues when plugged into my laptop.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this will be greatly received!
Many thanks

Power down and wait... does not solve the "USB Device Not Recognized" problem in my desktop running XP Professional.
All five USB Root Hubs are stucked. I tried uninstalled them all and let XP to find new devices but afterwards the problem still remains.
By the way, I have a thousand songs stored in the iPod Nano (2nd generation). Will iPod reset erase all my songs?

  • Iphone 4 not recognised by laptop after upgrading Itunes, the itunes symbol and a usb cord has appeared on my Iphone 4 screen. Frustrated isn't the word.

    iphone 4 not recognised by laptop after upgrading Itunes, the itunes symbol and a usb cord has appeared on my Iphone 4 screen. Frustrated isn't the word.
    After installing latest version of Itunes, I connected my Iphone via USB and selcted yes to upgrade my Iphone, towards the end of the upgrade a notification popped up indicating that the upgrade had failed. Since then my Iphone just isn't responding, I've tried reinstalling Itunes, turning off Norton Security.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you Carolyn,
    I've been through all those and apart from anything else, itunes is not seeing my phone, I therefore cannot restore the phone.
    Have tried deleting and reinstalling itunes in case something was missing there, though the fact the problem is on both my mac and my windows machine seems to me to suggest a phone problem..
    Is it possible that the latest IOS update which I did a week or so ago was not completed correctly? If so could this cause the problem? And how can I correct it?
    Many thanks

  • I can not open different sites after installing itunes. Why?

    I can not open different sites after installing itunes. I can`t open google.com or youtube.com. Why?

    Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff: What version of iPhoto. What version of the Operating System. Details. What were you doing when the problem arose? Did it ever work properly? Step-by-step descriptions of how you got to this issue. If something doesn't work, are there error messages? What happens when you try to do this thing? And what steps have you tried already to solve the issue. With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
    Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that a helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

  • Itunes does not recognise the ipod after update to itunes 8.2.0.23

    Hi, Now find, after putting new songs in my play list, that when I plug in ipod to update songs on ipod itunes does not recognise the ipod.
    The version of iTunes I updated to was 8.2.0.23 - everything worked fine until then. I see there is a newer version 8.2.1 now available - do you think by installing this the "unable to recognise" problem would be fixed???
    Thanks for your thoughts!

    I have a similar problem with the iPhone. Tried everything you can think of and then some. There is apparently some devastating bug 7.6 introduced into normal USB device recognition. I've been able to force the phone into recovery mode; the boot recovery USB driver does still work. Restoring the phone every time I need to sync is both scary and time-consuming.

  • ITunes does not recognise USB Flash Drive

    Hi everyone,
    I am repeating this request in the hopes that the daytime crowd will have someone who can help!
    I plug a usb flashdrive into my MacBook with iTunes active.
    It comes up on desktop.
    It does not appear as device in iTunes.
    I can move files (albums) to the device from music menu under Go.
    I cannot save my playlists from iTunes.
    How do I get iTunes to recognise the usb drive.
    Thanks,  Steve.

    Hello Limnos,
    Thanks again for all your help.
    Since my initial response I've looked in a little more depth at the track names.
    All my files are stored and played at CD quality from the original CD rather than MP3.
    It appears that track names are extracted from the Library and look a little different from those that appear in the iTunes playlist.
    I see now that the first element of the track name is the track number from the original CD. So if my playlist is made up of 3 CDs then all the track 01s get stored first and played first, followed by track 02s etc.
    I do not think it will take a great deal of effort to renumber the tracks from 01 to xty in what ever order I want them played since I usually play complete albums all the way through.
    Thanks again,  Steve. 
    BTW. Based on this I went out today and bought an 8Gb flash drive that I shall use to take our music with us on holiday.  Saves a great weight in CDs! (and lets us get under new airline weight restrictions)

  • Itunes not recognizing my devices after installing 11.1.4

    As per itunes message to update to latest version, I updated to 11.1.4 on my PC. I'm running windows 8.1, 64 bit. After updating and restarting computer, itunes will not recognize any of my devices. iphone4s, ipod touch 5g, ipod touch 4g. The devices "are" recognized on the computer when plugged in via usb. I guess this would indicate that the usb cables and the drivers are good.
    All of my itunes libraries for the associated devices open up just fine. All of the contents are in tact. It's just that the device is not recognized in itunes when opened. Any suggestions would be much appeciated.

    Windows 8.1, 64bit
    It appears that the 64bit install messed up the device drivers for the Apple mobilie devices connecting as USB.
    I tried many things, I may have missed a step below.  But the following is what I believe was the fix - since it worked on a 2nd PC.
    Make sure you are using an administrator account.  Any of them on your machine will do for the following
    a) Get Windows to restart the drivers:
        - disconnect your USB device and close ITunes
        - connect your USB device
        - if ITunes loads, close it.
    b) File explorer:
    Open File explorer and browse to
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    In that folder there should be a set of files named "usbaapl64...."
    right click on the one ending in "INF"
    Select Install.  It's very quick.
    remove the USB device
    c) Restart the computer.
    When you login again, load ITunes before you attach your USB device.
