Ipod/iphone issue when plugged into my computer

Hoping someone will be able to help me with this...

Whenever I plug in either my iphone or ipod into my computer it does as shown in the video... it doesn't show up in itunes or anything.. windows does install the apple mobile device drivers but it just continues to do the same thing.. I've uninstalled the drivers for the devices as well as uninstalling the controller drivers and re-installing them however no dice.. I'm clueless as what to do now.. another symptom I have noticed is with my micro SD card reader (http://goo.gl/n08ROU) works fine in my rear IO but not in my front panel usb ports (works in both 2.0 and 3.0 in the rear) but in the front IO it is listed as unknown device. my regular USB pen drives work in all the ports...(any help figuring out how to fix that issue would be awesome as well because it is a pain to get behind the tower to plug that little thing in) and no problems with my mouse, keyboard, or blue snowball.. I've done everything I know to try to fix it but I'm lost.

 

please excuse my run-on post, just typing as my mind tries to process my thoughts and it's not 100% clear right now...

iPod Touch 5g? It doesn't look tall :o

Try other USB ports

lol no, I have an ipod touch 1st gen and an iphone 4... and I've tried all of the usb ports with these devices/cord same thing happens.. almost thinking it is an issue with the mobo... 

You can plug your iPod in on your mothers Mac, or just use data cable with another device?

I am able to plug in both the ipod and iphone into her mac using the same cable that I'm using with my system.

Just wondering how there's iOS7 on there then...

Yeah it seems like the mobo can't provide enough power to the usb port to charge the iThingy

 

Edit: try a powered USB hub if you have one...

I could only record what was happening with the iphone so I plugged in my ipod... which is jailbroken with whited00r... so it only looks like ios7. I don't own a powered usb hub, or for that matter a usb hub in general..  could it be the power supply maybe?.. which I would find odd and doubt since it's less than 6 months old, is 650w and I don't have any issues with it powering the rest of the system, I'm really thinking it may just be a defect in the mobo

I didn't even know custom OSes existed for old devices :o

Yeah I doubt it's the PSU, motherboard is much more likely to be the issue. Maybe there's a setting in your BIOS that regards power saving and USB?

Would an unoriginal cable work on one computer and not the other?

i have had probably 5-6 different apple cables for my i pad .. i can certify you that even the most expensive one wont eventually work because they are constantly making updates and if you havent got the original cable with the apples chip inside you're screwed (i know i am)

do you use the original apple cable..?

I doubt that it is a genuine cable from apple, I got this one from amazon some time back.

 

So it charges fine when you just plug into the wall?

it does charge fine with the wall adapter and plugged into her mac

 

I'd re-install all Apple software, including things like Bonjour and Quicktime.

 

Then, see what happens.

I've also tried this, however it did not effect the outcome
