  installs of XP | Files, folders & storage>

  Windows 7 Pro.

  My iPod Touch will contact the iTunes computer software, but the computer won't recognize as a device, so pictures and videos cannot be transferred back through Explorer or software with call Explorer.

  A Google search seems to suggest that many face the same problem, but none of the proposed fixes work.  Device Manager or Explorer does not show the iPod.

  Oddly, this function worked at one point and there are several pictures and videos to the iPod, but now they cannot be removed or add others.

  I think that it is essentially a problem of iPod, but I hope that help Windows will help me solve the problem.

  I will move this thread to the neighborhood where you posted for the region of Windows 7, but if the following does not help, you should probably ask your question in Apple's iTunes for--> https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_windows in the Windows XP forum

  It seems to me that if the driver for the iPod is not installed or is corrupted.  It may seem like overkill, but I suggest to remove completely all Apple software and then put it back.  This should not affect your iTunes library (music, etc.), but it is always prudent to make a backup before doing anything like that.

• Satellite L300 - Windows does not recognize the connected device

  I have Toshiba Satellite L300 series, PSLB8E. It came with a basic version of vista pre-installed window and it was working fine until I decided to update.

  I took it to a computer for an upgrade store to ultimate window.
  This version worked very well for a few weeks until I have received a message on the screen that says: 'I have to get a genuine copy of windows.

  Because ever since I started having problems with my usb ports, my computer couldn't detect something I connect to it (usb, printer, mouse, etc.) he worked with modem only, sometimes it would open my external hard drive but it does not have its drivers.

  I then decided to buy a window 7 home base, but instead of this problem will disappear, that it got worse as my usb ports completely stopped working.

  I tried all the stuff I can think, but nothing has worked. the problem I have is that I don't have the original disc in Windows vista

  Someone please help!

  I agree: installing drivers for Windows 7 is very important to get all devices work correctly. Windows 7 is much better than Vista OS and I don't see any reasons why your L300 Sat should not work properly with this Win 7 OS.

  I recommend you to install the Windows 7 system again by install completely clean.
  After that, download all drivers Toshiba Win 7 of the Toshiba UE driver page.

  Very important are the drivers as value added package, Chip Set Utility, card reader controller, display driver, LAN driver, WLan, Sound Driver, Storage Manager and driver of the touchpad

• Why am I suddenly "USB not recognized, one of the devices USB has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize"

  Hi all. If anyone out there in Cyber Land can solve this problem for me so I've personally you will issue an eight-pack of ice-cold beer (or a bottle of wine for the ladies lol)...

  I'll try not to waffle too guys, so here's...

  Right my PC running Windows XP. I also have itunes installed on my PC (I have an iphone 4). Upward until yesterday my iphone and itunes were working well, (once I plugged my iphone in the itunes USB port recognised that my iphone was plugged and synchronization was fine etc.).

  But now when I plug my iphone to PC to sync with itunes, I get a pop up box on the lower right part of the screen that reads... "USB not recognized one of the USB devices has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize."

  After visiting about 5 different sites now "Ways to solve this problem", believe it or not, I still have the problem bloody! :(

  A site proposed shutdown PC and unplug it from the power supply, then plug it back start-up and back... this as did not work!
  The other they say that I should go to Device Manager, uninstall all the USBs then restart... it did not work either.
  Tried a system restore
  Tried to reinstall itunes

  When I check the names USB in Device Manager, there is one who reads unknown device. I am literally pulling what's left of my hair now. I tried to solve this problem for almost 2 days now and still no joy. That's why no matter what input you guys would be very appreciated. I'm no PC Wizard, so please, don't think you're patronizing me if you break down things step by step for me.

  Thank you comrades, cordially, Freddy frustrated. :)

  Another said I should go to Device Manager, uninstall all the USBs and restart.

  Usually, this works... but can be very dangerous, unless you have a PS/2 keyboard.

  I also assume that you have tried all other USB ports on the computer. tried a verified USB device (for example, a flash drive) in the USB usually when you plug in your iPhone. and I tried your iPhone in another computer (I know it's rare for an error message Windows really means what he says, but sometimes the material lacks).

  Is the charge of the iPhone when it is connected to the USB port (I don't think)?  This happened to me recently, but a reboot fixed it.  I guess that that happened to you.

  I guess that you don't see the error messages in Device Manager or you must declare them.

  You can uninstall all USB devices that do not exist as follows:

  • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
  • Enter the following command and press enter

  Set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1

  • Start the Device Manager by typing the following in the same command prompt window

  devmgmt.msc

  • In Device Manager, click the view menu and select "Show hidden devices".
  • You should see a category just after "Non-Plug and Play drivers" named "other devices."  Chances are that there will be a big exclamation yellow mark beside it.  When you expand the "other devices" you should see several non identified "USB devices."  Uninstall all this.
  • Reboot (with the iPhone NOT connected).

• Windows Vista does not recognize my Ipod Touch

  Windows Vista does not recognize my Ipod at all. He even appears in Device Manager. I know that is not my USB cable because it is new, and it isn't my Ipod because it works on Mac computers. I just need someone with expertise to help me get my computer to recognize my Ipod so I can go back to enjoy my music.

  Make sure that Windows is updated appropriately that there have been several USB updates.

  1 check that the driver letters for them, for a player, if the drive of the default drive letter is changed, what is happening.
  Mine was h: I added a device that took H: and the player stopped. So I put it back to H: and the other
  device to J: and everything worked again. If necessary start - type in the area of research-> disk management find top
  -Right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN

  Don't forget to remember the MP3 must be set to the PSG to sync with WMP, and meteorological service of Canada to copy and delete files
  and update the firmware.

  If no joy follow these steps:

  You may need a powered hub. (all the USB ports on your computer are not powered, often only 2)

  Try these:

  Make a Restore Point

  Control Panel - Device Manager - click in the empty area - VIEW - show hidden devices

  Here, your devices are the MP3 player.

  Now look everywhere EXCEPT the USB controllers for your devices (cannot be found) and if you find
  It RIGHT CLICK and UNINSTALL all.

  now go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers in the category, but the category itself.

  APPLY/OK

  RESET

  This refresh battery USB and hopefully it will allow the unit to install. (You may need a powered hub)

  Here is the similar procedure under XP, Vista is the same, except that we need clear specific devices, as appropriate.

  I tried to look for a download of update on the site of Logitech & only found:

  6.32.20 set - point it did nothing to help.

  I also tried to move the receiver to the other 2 ports USB w / still the same results.

  Are there other downloads or solutions that will help w / this problem?

  You can also try searching for devices strangers (with yellow symbols) in the Manager under the mouse devices and other pointing devices and other devices (if any). Right click and uninstall unknown devices. Then restart.

  Also try the steps below to reset the power of USB:
  (a) the laptop off, unplugged from the wall outlet.
  (b) remove the battery for a few minutes, then reinstall it.
  (c) then restart the laptop.

• Error: One of the USB devices attached to this system has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it.

  tried already everything written here. When I plug my USB device (3 of them) my Windows a sad of the USB devices attached to this system has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. I tried plugging it into another winXP machine, it won't work. Can you help me?

  Original title: usb malfunction

  His salvation,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

  1. What are the troubleshooting steps you have tried so far?
  2. If it works much earlier? If so, did you do changes on the computer before this problem?
  3. What type of USB device you are using?

  As you mentioned that the USB device does not work when plugged into a WinXP machine, it may be a problem with the device itself. In addition, the question may also arise if the currently loaded USB driver has become unstable or damaged or if your PC requires an update for problems that could conflict with a device USB and Windows.

  Therefore, I suggest you try the following methods (skip the ones that you already tried) and check if the problem persists.

  Method 1:

  Please try the fixit (s) provided below which will help you solve common problems associated with devices and USB ports.

  • Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows
  • Diagnose and automatically fix the Windows USB problems

  If method 1 does not work, try Method 2.

  Method 2:

  Remove and reinstall all USB controllers.

  1. Open Manager devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and security, and then, under System, clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  2. In the list of the categories of equipment, locate and expand Bus USB controllers.
  3. Right-click every device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
  4. Restart the computer and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.
  5. Plug in the removable USB device and test to make sure that the problem is solved.

  If the problem persists, go to method 3.

  Method 3:

  This method will install the latest drivers from device to your USB device.

  1. Click the Start button, type Windows Update in the search box, and then click Windows Update in the results pane.
  2. Click find updates. When the scan finished, click optional review updates.
  3. Click the check box next to the update, and then click install updates.
  4. If you are prompted, read the license agreement, then click I agree.
  5. Follow the instructions on the screen to download and install updates.
  6. If you are prompted, restart your computer.

  More information: Update a hardware driver that is not working properly

  If the device fails after updating the driver, you can try to roll back the driver with its previous version.

  Restore a driver with its previous version

  Hope this information is useful. If the problem still persists, please post back for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.
