USB Device Not Recognized

When I plugged my iPhone into my computer yesterday to add
some more songs on it, and the bubble popped up saying USB Device not
Recognized...
Never had this issue before, it's always just started up iTunes, and
connected and worked fine. Then tonight, I plugged in my digital camera to
charge, and it IS charging, however the bubble popped up saying USB Device
not Recognized for that also, and it won't connect to the Kodak Software.

I have used both of these products on my computer for over 6 months and
never had an issue until starting yesterday.

How do I fix this?!?!

First thing to try is to System Restore to Monday when it all worked
correctly. If it works, keep an eye on what comes down Windows Update or
other updates you may have received for other programs and find out which
one 'breaks' the system. Of course if you know you (or someone with access
to the PC) installed something between Monday and yesterday, uninstall it
and see if that fixes the issue..

Okay. I did that, and now I have undone the restore.

Here is what I found out. If I plug the devices in that keep getting the
error,
into one of the 2 USB ports on the left side of the computer, they work just
fine.
During restore and after undoing restore as well. However, if you plug them
into
either of the 2 USB ports on the right side, during or after undoing
restore, it gets the error:


USB Device Not Recognized
"One of the USB devices attatched to this computer has malfunctioned, and
Windows does not recognize it. "

So something seems to be wrong with the 2 USB ports on the right side, i
don't know why or how I haven't done anything different. How would I go about
trying to resolve this?

Those USB ports have failed. If the machine is still under guarantee
(probably not since you say it's an XP PC) then contact the manufacturer.

If it's a notebook, you'll probably want to get a USB hub, which basically
uses a cable from one of the working USB ports to a small device that has
extra USB ports on it.... call it daisy chaining if you want.

If it's a desktop PC, get a USB 2.0 PCI card, which just slots in to an open
PCI slot and gives you up to 5 or so extra USB ports.... but they'll
obviously be at the back of the tower case.

It might be that the cable to the side USB ports has come loose, but if
you're unsure, get a tech to look for you. Either of the above options is
cheap. The tech option probably isn't!

Hi Angie,

Try this;

Shutdown your computer. Pull the power lead out of the computer. Press the
power button on the computer. This makes sure there is no power still
running through the motherboard via the capacitors which continue to hold
power for some time. Put the power plug back into the computer and turn it
on. Try your USB devices again.

You are a genius and a life saver.

I lost all of my usb ports and therefore all my plug and play devices
and just as I was going to transfer all the music I have been recording
for months on to my Sony Walkman for my Christmas Party.

Many thanks
