When connecting ipod to PC USB, computer restarts

When I connect my ipod to USB immediately following taking it off my AC adapter, it causes my computer (PC, XP) to restart. Today I updated to Itunes 5. What's up with that?

Reinstall Windows. This has nothing to do with iTunes or any other Apple software, because that functionality is entirely Windows based.
If reinstalling windows fresh (and doing all the updates) doesn't fix it, then you have a hardware problem on the PC.

  • When connecting iPod Nano to USB 2 Port it becomes very warm

    I have a new iPod Nano. I connected it to the PC via USB 2 and the iPod started to be very hot on the top of ots back (behind the screen).
    I disconnected it immediately, and tried again with another computer. I had the same problem.
    Any advice?

    My ipod nano will not play through the USB cable on my 'ipod ready' car stereo. I think it is coz my files are saved as AAC files not MP3 and thats what the stereo recongises. How do i change this, as you say in previous comments that ipod selects AAC files as a default?
    Please help, everyones else i know can play their ipod on my car stereo, just not me!!!
    Any one know what to do???

  • I have an unknown error (-81) when connecting iPod Photo and Nano

    This error keeps coming up when connecting iPods to iTunes and no photos can be downloaded.
    I have downloaded the all the latest iTune and iPod updates

    Hello penel2907,
    This could be due to a hardware issue. You may try using a different USB port on your computer.
    Check for hardware issues

    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • ITunes stop working when connecting ipod 4th generation on Vista

    When connecting ipod 4th generation to a computer running Vista Ultimate, ITunes (version 8) closes. Windows provide the following message - iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
    Thanks!

    i have the same issue... but i found a workaround.. i tried 3 diff OS's . didnt change the problem. To Add apps or music to ur Ipod... simply DISCONNECT the Ipod from the PC then add files/folders to library. Then connect the ipod back to PC and sync. it has no problem adding the files that way (at least in my case) I hope this helps... Good Luck =)

    This is how it's displayed: http://i50.tinypic.com/nd7vk7.jpg
    And this is what happens when I click properties and 'search for solutions': http://i47.tinypic.com/2iu3vrc.jpg (the box disappears after that, apparently having done nothing, when I search online for software it informs me my computer already has the best/latest installed)

    Okay, that means with the latest iOS software, it requires the latest version of iTunes on the computer. Which computer OS platform are you using. Now you are saying that after downloading the latest version of iTunes that your iPhone is not being recognized by iTunes? Completely different thing, and the iTunes on the iPhone has nothing to do with that anyway. The iTunes on the iPhone is just for purchases.
    If you are having trouble with the iPhone being recognized by iTunes, use the appropriate link for your computer OS for assistance.

  • I bought a new MacBook Pro (Mac Os 10.8.4) when conecting my mobile broadband dongle (Huawei E122) the computer does not read it at all. I do not have problems when connecting it to my former computer (PC) and a Mac from last year. Any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Yes, I did that. They have uppgrades for the dongles, but just untill Mac Os 10.7. Their solution is to buy a new modem from them or getting one for free if I sign a contract for 24 months! So, i think from that side not very helpful.
    It is just that I do not want to buy a new modem, when it works in quite recent computers and after having spent money in the new Mac.
    But thank you for your reply!

    tworules,
    You haven't mentioned the exact version of Photoshop you are running.  As the always helpful and knowledgeable JJMack told you, new versions of Photoshop do have auto save and recovery when enabled in your Photoshop Preferences.
    However, no auto recovery and/or autosave is a match for a defective machine.  As suggested by Mr. Cox, you should do a thorough inspection of all your hardware ASAP.

  • Computer reboots when connecting ipod to USB cable.

    Has this happened to anyone else?
    All of a sudden now, whenever I connect my ipod to the USB cable, it makes my computer reboot! And it doesn't stop rebooting until I disconnect the ipod!
    I have no idea why this is happening, and I don't know how to make it stop.
    I am really starting to lose my faith in EVERY item that Apple has created.

  • Computer restarts when connecting ipod - please help!

    Hey, I've recently bought a usb 2.0 card so i can connect my ipod via usb 2.0 as it will be faster than usb 1.1.
    There is a slight problem however, almost every time i connect my ipod via the usb cable to this new usb 2.0 port, the computer restarts.
    On the odd few occasions the computer hasn't restarted, my ipod has not been recognised in itunes or my computer.
    I have tried connecting other things such as my phone and my old mp3 player to the new usb card and they work fine.
    Is this a problem with my ipod or just the usb card?
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks alot.

    I've had this problem and given the advice to others and it has worked for some. This isn't mentioned in any other advice that I can see but it is a simple check that you should do, not very technical either!
    With your iPod plugged in to the computer, first go through the 5R's and other help topics to check the basics (new cable, different computer, different USB port etc.)
    If no luck, check to see if your iPod exists in Device Manager as follows: right-click on My Computer, then click on Manage, then Device Manager, then expand the section called Disk Drives on the right hand side and see if the iPod is shown there, if it is, go on to the next stage.
    In the same Computer Management box, click on Disk Management on the left hand side, after a few seconds a new box opens on the right and should show all of the disks on your computer including the iPod. Then right-click on the iPod information and it will give you an option to Change the drive letter or path....click on that and then select Change; select a new drive letter which is not already assigned to any other disc (I picked Z down the bottom), save that then exit and see if it works. Good luck!
