RE: iPod nano getting "Unknown device" error
I am also having the same problem, but none of the posted fixes work. To make matters worse, this problem is not confined to my iPod, but affects all USB devices I try to use (e.g. camera, external hard drive).
For a time, I could connect without problems to the iPod without problems until one day it could not be recognized and showed up as a unknown device. I tried everything including reformating my desktop and reseting the iPod, to no avail.
I circumvented the problem for a while by using my laptop and an external hard drive, but now this has failed as well (while using connecting to the iPod). It seems as though the iPod is corrupting the USB connection somehow and I now have 2 useless computers for connecting to external devices!
Any new ideas for potential solutions would be greatly appreciated.
