When I plug my my Ipod classic into my PC it crashes
Because of the bossy media player conflicts that go along with Itunes, I decided to use a different Media Management software component in my Windows Media Center Edition PC( Sony Vaio ). I have almost 85GB of music on my Ipod Classic and it was quite a laborous task to actually sync all of it w Itunes at first, but Media Monkey works great. Anyway, now after successfully using this to add music from time to time with no difficulty, now every time I plug the Ipod classic into the machine, it recognizes it like always, but quickly Media Monkey stops responding.
..............wait there is more, I tried just for kicks plugging in my old scratched up class action suit 2GB Nano, and BLAM! No problems.
So, I'm sure it could be Media Monkey also, but every time the Ipod classic is plugged into the USB port, before MM can get going, the "safely remove hardware" icon appears in the tray, and then MM stops responding.
........Whenever I click on the Safely remove hardware icon, a tree shows this
USB Mass Storage device in Drive:D
Apple Ipod device
then my HP 2400 series printer DOT4USB .....kinda like this!
P.S. I used to have an Iphone 3GS and Itunes kept poking my eyes out. However with the Iphone, I was forced to manage it w Itunes, and last year, it started throwing up a WARNING box when I started up Itunes, telling me that my CD/DVD burning drivers were missing..."please reinstall Itunes". I must have actually tried 3 or 4 different versions of the **** Itunes software because it never stopped giving the WARNING...I Hate You box every time it started up.
Nevertheless, I can live without Itunes, because I assassinated my Iphone. However, I just want harmony. HELP ME PLEASE! I understand that my PC is a strange species, but I can't stomach ging up XP, and learning all the BS over again with a differnt OS.
Many thanks for the reply The Hatter!
The machine isn't new but is new to me, I formatted it and re-installed OS 10.5.8 and installed latest updates. Spec is as follows;
MacPro3,1
2x Quad 2.8 Xeon's
2GB Ram
ATI Radeon HD2600
I'm running the display through the analog cable into a converter. There is HDMI port but I guess to try that I'd need to buy another type of converter (if one exists). The display doesn't have a DVI port so maybe this is the issue? Lower resolution settings in OS fill the screen nicely but obviously this looks totally waff as its all big and low res...
Looked for an update on the ATI site for a newer driver but my machine says it doesn't need updating.
I wondered if there might be some software around that can give me more options in OS for display settings?
Not the end of the world but its very frustrating that I've lost 4 inches of my display for no obvious reason!

when i plug in my ipod classic it pops up ipod corrupted and i should restore the ipod but when i try it pops up unknown error 1415?
My suggestions, when Restoring the iPod.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC.
Disconnect all other USB devices, except the mouse and keyboard.
Stop all other programs except iTunes.
Good Luck! -
When I plug in my iPod Classic, it is visible in My Computer, but iTunes gives an error message saying "The software required for this iPod is not installed corectly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the required software." It started completely randomly and now does it every time. I completely wiped out iTunes and reinstalled it via the intructions from this website, but it is still doing the same thing. Furthermore, when I go to Start, All Programs, the iTunes folder contains no data AND the desktop shortcup does nothing when clicked on. I have to go to Start, Run, and type in itunes.exe in order to run the program. Can anyone tell me what is going on?
Do one or more of the following
> Restart your computer
> Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes
> Reset iDevice (won't erase everything)
> Go to My Computer (windows xp) or Computer (windows vista & 7) and see if iDevice shows
> Restore the iDevice completely (will erase everything)
> Make sure the iTunes and/or iOS firmware is up-to-date.

When I plug in my IPOD Nano into a USB port, the computer recognizes it as a printer. It then attempts to install the printer software, which is already installed. The only way to fix it is to unplug the printer. Any thoughts?
Turn the printer off.

I have just updated to itunes 11 and when I plugged in my ipod classic it locked up. When I tried again it said my ipod was corrupt and advised I reset it. I reluctantly did this as I lost all my music and now itunes just locks up when I plug in my ipod.
Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.

Windows XP crashes when I plug in new ipod classic
I bought my daughter a ipod classic for Christmas and she hasn't been able to put any music on it. When we plug it into the usb on the pc (emachines T1840 - OK it's old) it gets a blue screen stating an error. STOP: 0x0000007E (0XC0000005, 0X00000000, 0XF8D30908, 0XF8D30604) It mentions possible BIOS updates?? or disabling BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing?? I have tried updating USB drivers, but it tells me that what i have is current and I tried to uninstall and re-install USB drivers. She has a shuffle and that works and the usb drives work for our digital camera. Any sugestions?? Help.
Hi and welcome to Discussions,
sorry to hear about that 'misbehaviour'.
Might be better to post the question in the 'iTunes for Windows' Forum: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=150
Better chance of getting an answer.
Good luck

ITunes crashes when I plug in 80GB iPod classic
My 80GB iPod classic had been working flawlessly with my MacBook Pro until yesterday afternoon, when I plugged it in to sync and iTunes crashed with this error:
Exception: EXCBADACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000014
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, deleting my iTunes library file, and using another computer to restore my iPod to the factory settings all with the same result. I can sync my Nano to this computer still, and I can sync my Classic to other computers. This particular computer/iPod combo has gone wonky on me. I've wracked my brain trying to come up with any system changes prior to the sudden failure and I can't think of any.
This is a work machine and I have FileVault turned on per company policy. I can't take the machine to a Genius Bar since it's not mine, and while IT looks the other way on the matter of personal music on the work machine, I can't ask them for support since it's not a business necessity. Any ideas on how to solve? Am I out of luck on getting a replacement iPod since it syncs with other machines?RevDoddy,
If iTunes is crashing, why don't you send a crash log to those lazy Apple engineers.
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log" If there's already a file there, it most likely has multiple crash logs in it (new crash logs are just appended to the end of the file). So, delete this file. This will make sure you're not sending extra information I don't need. These crash logs are text files, so you can open them in notepad or whatever to see what information you're sending.
So, get the machine setup to collect crash logs, do the thing that makes iTunes crash. You need to send that file to our buddy Roy. Make sure that you include:
(1) the drwtsn32.log file.
(2) the link to this thread.
(3) a one line description of your problem, i.e. "iTunes crashes on launch".
(4) the username that you're using here in the discussion boards.
(5) the link to this thread.
(6) tell him Toonz sent ya.
Roy is getting a little swamped with messages and needs to make sure he gets all the information. And if he doesn't get all this information, the message is just going to get dropped on the floor. -
When I plug my ipod into my computer and click on itunes, I get three songs listed in a library that is not mine. It does not seem to recognize my ipod.
Pete I was having a similure problem with my 5th Gen. I cut my losses and stress and restored my iPod to factory settings. It wiped the device clean, but with all my music in iTunes it put it all back on in a matter of 5 minutes. Yes you may loose some music, but oh well at least your device is working.

I bought an ipod compatible cd player for my car. My ipod worked perfectly fine before i plugged it in to it, now my ipod is unresponsive unless it is plugged into the cd player and controled by the remote the deck came with! has anyone else had this problem??
Hello mohlrich13,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that after disconnecting your iPod from your car, you noticed that it will no longer play sound. In this situation I would recommend working through the iPod nano (7th generation) hardware troubleshooting steps attached below.

( oo wait hes microsoft ...
There are so many things to try other than the 5 Rs. If you would have kept reading or looked at the other link, you might find something that helps.
And the 5 Rs aren't really "drastic"...
Since your iPod is showing up in Windows, this article specifically addresses the problem you are experiencing...
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
And no 5Rs! (I posted that link before, but you may not have looked at it)
You may also want to try restarting your computer.

What will happen when I plug in my new classic iPod?
Hi,
I am getting a new iPod classic 80gb tomorrow, hooray! I already own a 30gb iPod video which I have just sold. When I plug my new iPod in tomorrow will everything be ok? Will it automatically sync the existing music library or wipe the lot?! Could someone help me and let me know what to expect and what I need to do to ensure a smooth transfer of iPods? Many thanks.Am in the process of replacing stolen Classic 80 MB ... bought a new iPod, plugged into the computer (Windows XP), got iTunes & the registration screen, registered ... but nothing happens for the initial setup. iPod shows charging, but it seems iTunes is not seeing the iPod ... even though it's in the device list.
Any ideas? -
my laptop died, how can I plug my ipod classic into a new pc with out losing all my music, over 10,000 songs?!
Please help!Was your iPod previously set up to Manually Manage (where you dragged/dropped the music) or was it set to auto sync (where it started sycning as soon as you plugged it in.)?
If it was set to Manual, you have no worries. Just continue on your way.
If it was set to Auto, you will have to transfer your purchases or redownload them from the iTunes store.
You're either going to have to get the other music back from the websites/CDs you got them from before or find an iPod ripping software program that will do it for you. -
