    USB port settings to charge a iPod
    I have 5 usb ports in my desktop PC's CPU. All the 3 back USB ports works fine and are fully functional.
    But I need to use the front 2 usb to charge devices like iPod or charge and connect mobile phone etc.
    I tried to get into device manager and check some settings for that 2 usb ports, but could not find anything that could help me as there it says device working properly.
    Then why I can't charge my iPod while connecting through USB.
    Seeking for detailed and working guidance or assistance for complete solution.
