"USB Device not Recognized" when shuffle is plugged into computer
Everytime I plug my shuffle into my Dell laptop it comes up with the message "USB device not recognized". The shuffle doesn't show up in my computer or itunes. I've done some of things that it says to try, but I'd really like to get this fixed and get my shuffle working. Typically when I plug it in, it blinks once, yellow/orange, and then no more, and the notice comes up on the computer screen. If this makes a difference, the shuffle worked fine until last summer when my hard drive crashed. Upon installing a new hard drive, the shuffle began to not work/sync with my computer as it had been before. Any suggestions on how to get my shuffle working again? Much appreciated!
Seems to be catching, I have the same trouble only both my shuffle and my daughters NANO were only bought at christmas ans have been working fine untill a few weeks ago. Can't think of anything that might have caused it but both came up with the same message pretty much at the same time.
This is a problem I get periodically, it seems to be random. When I plug my shuffle onto the dock, windows gives a message about "installing device driver" then the mouse locks up, as does the keyboard. There's then a "USB Device not recognized" message, and the computer is dead. Sometimes even the power button stops responding. Normally, it works great.
I am having the exact same issue with the unrecognized USB port, locked mouse and Keyboard! Has anyone heard of a possible solution? I recieved my shuffle as a gift and have become addicted tp podcasts.
I have the same problem, everytime i connect my ipod shuffle to the computer, it says "USB decive not recognized" except, it recognizes all other USB devices (digital camera, Memory sticks...) and my ipod is recognized by other computers. it's just my home computer that cant seem to recognize my shuffle.
i've tried many things but all attempts were unsuccessful!
