Please help having trouble with my computer and my usb port 2.0

[VeryUpsetAlexis]

Okay so, I need to download music onto my ipod touch from itunes but everytime I plug it in it tells me that my device could perform better if I got a hi-speed usb port....And that is exactly what I did, I finally bought one and plugged it in to my computer...When I plug in the ipod touch it still says the same thing even though I have the hi-speed USB port 2.0....Can somebody PLEASE HELP ME?

Do you have a model number for the Computer? A White Compaq doesn't tell us much except that it may be an older Compaq.

 

[VeryUpsetAlexis]

Uhmmm it says FP745A

 

[dustyjay]

According to HP/Compaq the model number you posted is for a Flat Panel monitor. There should be a Model number on the front of the Computer case.

 

[dustyjay]

Or is this a Dell Computer with a Compaq Monitor?

 

[VeryUpsetAlexis]

That is the model number, when you say front of the computer case are your referring to the box that the computer came in?

 

[VeryUpsetAlexis]

It is a dell computer with a Compaq monitor

On the front of the Computer "the part the cd goes in" there should be a model number. On Dells it is frequently right near the Power Switch. Like Dimension 3000, or something like that. May be Optiplex or Inspiron but you would have to look to find out.

 

[VeryUpsetAlexis]

Uhmm it says Optiplex GX150

 

[dustyjay]

Thats it. stay tuned.

That is a very old dell computer. And is not likely to USB2.0 integrated. When you installed the High Speed USB adapter, you would have also had to install drivers for it. Did it come with a drivers disk?

I think the poster purchased a USB hub and connected it to the existing USB ports. If that's the case, it won't solve the problem. The hub works at the speed of the ports its connected to.

I have no idea lol but I doubt

 

[dustyjay]

For some reason I was thinking you installed a PCI USB Card.

@ VeryUpset Alexis. Is the High Speed USB port you plugged in just plugged into the old USB Port on the computer?
