Blue screen when connecting my iPod Classic to Windows7

Hi!
I know there are lots of these problems round here, but none of them actually seemed to apply to my situation nor did the advices seem to have helped me.
Here's the thing:
A few days ago while synching my iPod Classic with iTunes, it just crashed. I mean it stopped syncing but wouldn't eject. I got angry and just unplugged my iPod (I'm an idiot, I know) . After that, I tried to synch it again but i would just plug it in, click 'sync' and nothing would happen . For less than a second it would sync but nothing would actually happen. I decided to reboot my iPod. That's where real trouble started. After clicking "Reboot..." my laptop just crashed and blue screen popped up. Every time i plug my iPod while iTunes is on, the same thing happens - blue screen. I already checked my drivers, they're all updated.
Here's what it says when the blue screen pops up:
Technical information:
*** STOP: 0x00000034 (0x00000000000000AB6, 0xFFFFFFFFC0000420, 0x0000000000000000, 0x00000000000000000)
I'm going to the seaside in a couple of days and I desperately need my iPod.
Would be very grateful for any kind of help and feedback .
EDIT:
Oh, I forgot to add. I also checked my laptop's memory, it wouldn't detect any problems. Also, when i plug in my iPhone, everything works just fine.

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
This seems to be more of an issue with Windows than with iTunes or the iPod. I would suggest scrubbing it for malicious software or seek out a professional.

Blue screen when connect iPod classic

I tried to connect my new iPod classic for the first time and continually get the blue screen of death. I had been using a Nano (2nd gen, not the video one) on this PC without problems, but now when I try to connect the Nano I also get the blue screen. The blue screen references ousbehci.sys for either iPod and says DRIVERIRQL_NOT_LESS_OREQUAL with the Nano only.

I have been working on my little step brothers ipod all day and night trying to fix this problem. I was Googling the issue and i finally came up to a very very old thread from november on the apple support site. I followed the steps and it worked perfectly, I hope this has the same outcome for you as well. The following is the thread that I found.
"Okay, here was my problem….sounds similar to yours but whenever I plugged in my new iPod Classic I got the “blue screen” of death and it shut my computer down. After spending over an hour on the phone with Apple support we were able to resolve the issue.
Right click on “my computer” and select “properties”
Click the “hardware” tab and then select “device manager”
Click the + sign next to “universal bus controllers”
Right click on any items that identified as “usb host controller” or “usb universal host controller”
Click “update driver”, select “yes, this time only” and the next button
Select “install the software automatically” and the next button
It will automatically search and install updated drivers
If you have more than one item on your “device manager” that says “universal bus controllers”; follow the same steps above on all items. I had two “universal bus controllers” on my “device manager” because I had installed an after market USB2 card. After I did the updates it merged them into one.
My iPod Classic “synced” perfectly after I installed the updates. Hope it works for you!"

IPod touch 4G causes windows 7 to blue screen when connecting to iTunes

Wife bought me a new iPod Touch 4G for Christmas. A few days ago it started to cause my Windows 7 (64bit) to blue screen randomly while connected or sometimes when I first connected it. Did a Windows re-install and crashes Windows each time I connect it. It is not the USB port as other devices work fine through all my USB ports. I do load various apps on the iPod several times a day. And it is also bluetooth'd to my wireless wifi switch (same network as my PC). ITunes program on PC is latest version. Anyone have a clue on this one?

Blue Screen when connecting iPod Touch -

Hello,
unfortunately I have no points to reward an answer.
Still, I get my chance to get one from a friendly and understanding person.
The iPod Touch is a "September edition" with firmware 1.1.4 (4A102) lately updated.
Whenever I connect he iPod, my PC immediately crashes with a bluescreen.
I didn't have such problem with previous firmware. I guess I could come back to 1.1.3 and wait for 1.1.5. However, I would rather do it only if there is no other solution.
Thank you in advance for any information and kind regards,
Richidee

Hi Richidee and welcome to Apple Discussions Forum!
Well, try to follow the instructions above written:
Go to the computer's properties (Right-click on "My Computer");
Click the “Hardware” tab and then hit “Device Manager”. A new pop-up window will appear;
Click the plus sign next to “Universal Bus Controllers” to enlarge their list;
Right click on any items that identified as “Usb Host Controller” or “Usb Universal Host Controller”;
Then lick “Update Ddriver”, and configure it to do “this time only” and then hit next button;
Select “Install the Software Automatically”
It will automatically search and install updated drivers. This should work, the problem comes from your PC and not from your iPod.
PS: You don't need to have points to reward other users with points. Just click "Helpuful" or "Solved" over any post.
Hope this helps!

ITunes and Computer freeze when connecting 160GB iPod classic

160 GB iPod Classic
Model: MC293LL
Version: 2.0.4 PC
iTunes version: 11.1.3
computers: 1 Win8 desktop,
1 Win7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1 Notebook
since yesterday I started having trouble with my iPod. When connecting it to the Notebook it showed a message: "There's a problem with this device. Scan the drive now and fix it". After clicking on scan and trying to fix the problem the notebook froze, so I connected it to me desktop, and it worked, it said that the problem was fixed. But when trying to open the iTunes it froze and after disconnecting it I realised the music was gone. So I connected it again, the same "There's a problem with this device. Scan the drive now and fix it"-message showed, but at the end the computer said it didn't detect any problem with the drive, so I opened iTunes and restored the iPod, and it worked but after that iTunes froze, then Windows Explorer and then the whole computer. Tried to connect the iPod to the Win7 Notebook and the same thing happened, first iTunes froze and then the computer froze, they both didn't show the blue screen.
What can I do? The iPod was already restored to the factory settings.

i had the same problem. all i did was download the newest version of itunes, which i had been putting off for months because it takes so long. after i did this itunes worked fine for me
hope this helps

Macbook Pro Freezes When Connected to iPod Classic!

I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro that is acting a little funky. Whenever I plug in my iPod Classic to add music everything works perfectly fine until I eject the iPod. My computer then basically freezes up (gives the rainbow spinwheel of death) and it will not recover. The iPod icon doesn't disappear, it just turns light grey and everytime my only option is to force quit iTunes. The problem doesn't end there, my computer is completely bogged down and I have to force shut it down. It is incredibly annoying... The iPod works perfectly fine when I plug it into my fiancee's older Macbook Pro, it ejects fine and I've run disk utility on it using that computer and there are no problems with the iPod. My mid 2010 Macbook Pro runs other USB devices just fine (iPhone, iPad, Flash Drives etc.) it's just the iPod.
Additionally, every since I upgraded to OS X 10.7 the computer will not shut down/restart. It just goes to a grey screen with a spinny wheel and won't fully shut down (I've left it over night to no success still grey screen). I have reinstalled OS X several times so I'm confused on this one as well. Any information on either of these issues would be greatly GREATLY appreciated.

I should add that I can quit iTunes with the iPod connected. When I try to eject the iPod by manually dragging the icon to the trash the funkiness begins (icon doesn't disappear just turns light grey, and the computer freezes). I have found the computer behaves if I put it to sleep with the iPod connected (the iPod will eject properly) and when I wake the computer up, everything works w/o funkiness, however the greyed out iPod icon will still be on the desktop. This is the only way I've found to be able to manage this iPod when connected to this MBP.

Blue Screen when connecting to internet

I have this problem: blue screen appear in Win XP randomly when i try to connect to internet using a Genius modem. The error notification is this:
"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LES_OR_EQUAL
Tehnical information:
***STOP: 0x000000D1 (0X00000000, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
Beginning dump of phisical memory....."
First i suspected a memory issue, so i tested it with Memtest 86 but didn't find any errors. I run 3DMark 2001 several times with no errors, 3D games runs also without problems. I put the modem in 3rd PCI slot, the 4th is occupied by the network adapter and the 5th slot by the SB Audigy (with the newest drivers installed from Creative web site). There is an IRQ sharing between the network adapter and an USB host controller used for a Logitech Steering Wheel. CPU temp never exceed 50C, Dinamic Overclock is disabled and Performance is set to slow.BIOS is 1.3. Since i have this motherboard, (six days) i have this very annoyng problem 1 of 4 times i connect to the internet.
Please, if you do have any suggestions i need some help.

I researched this a bit, with my very similar error.
I can tell you this much with certainty--that blue screen is a driver problem. Maybe in your case Norton FW is bringing it out, but it is probably a conexant chipset in your modem, and you are getting the same end result as me.
They haven't released, at least that I can find, a driver for this modem chip set that correctly handles irq sharing. Conexant is what's inside of a suprising number of modems, and the software (base driver from them to the modem OEM) is old.
Pretty sure Danny's on the right track with hyperthreading being the problem. The other possibility is the whole complicated HAL/APIC deal. Toss in some other HAL acronyms.
But hyperthreading is a more recent development, so I will give it a shot, soon. Don't feel like crashing at the moment. But if that is the answer, I'm not going to turn off HT. Nope, the modem will be stuck with the generic 56k MS driver, which works ok, sorta, just doesn't report speeds right, or do compression and error handling right. Or 56K for that matter. OK, it's a bonejob, but I need HT more than a dial-up.
Unless somebody has some ideas.
One day I will take out my collection of really crappy modems and shoot them. Do a web page. I now have 5.
Don't buy Bestdata. 2 year old driver and they want money to talk to tech support. Brand new. Says XP PRO on the box.

Blue screen when connected to pc

when I connect my iPhone 4 via usb to my pc (hp pavilion dv4000, windows xp home), instantly blue screen appears! can anyone help me?

No it does not. I have read about that, but sadly this is not the case for me. The only thing "extra" I had connect was a printer, but I never installed the drivers for it and unplugged it after I read about unplugging other USB devices.

Similar problem here:
When I'm playing songs with iTunes and connecting my 3G 20GB iPod, my computer will hang up completely - screen goes dark and I have to reset my PC.
However, when my iTunes is "idle", i.e. not playing a song or doing anything else, connecting and syncing the iPod will work just fine.
I'm using the newest (6.x) Version of iTunes on WinXP SP2 with a 3G iPod 20GB.

Anyone seeing a nwdelmdm.sys blue screen error connecting to a jetpack?

Anyone seeing a nwdelmdm.sys blue screen when connecting to a jetpack?

Jetpacks do not require any software unless you are referring to a USB connection. If so then your Jetpack USB drivers have become corrupted and should be reinstalled. Id assume NW in nwdelmdm.sys is referring to Novatel Wireless.
If you have any other USB modem connection software or drivers you might want to clean them up too.

IPod Classic's screen when connecting to ITunes

With my IPod Classic 80GB with displying time on the menu, when connecting(Syncing) to ITunes, where time was displyed on the top grey line like 8:20PM for example, it turns into a meaningless letter 'P'.
If the time is like 8:20AM, no such letter will appear on this grey line.
Is this for everyone's ipod classics? Or only mines stuffed.
No fault on its functions, but curious if this is just a stuff up by Apple.
Your yes/no is much appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm seeing the same here, too. Letter "P" on top of the screen when connected to iTunes.
I will see if turning off the clock in the display or switching to 24hour time works. Hadn't noticed if connected in the AM makes a difference since I usually synch up at night in the PM.
The iPod seems to operate just fine otherwise.

Computer goes to blue screen when ipod plugged in.

I have tried all angles on this and still haven't been able to figure out. Can somebody please offer some new knowledge? I have tried some older suggestions awithout resolution. Here is what is happening using Windows 7/lastest updated itunes and ipod 80g classic:
My ipod was completely erased after trying to update through itunes as i normally do. Now when i plug ipod into the itunes, it will not be recognized in the left column and after about 3 minutes my entire computer will go to blue screen and reboot itself. I have tried restoring, checked diagnostics on ipod. I think I may need some more info on opening itunes in safe mode and beginning from there, however I'm open for any other suggestions/links. Thank You

First off, have you made sure your Windows OS is up to date with all the latest patches and updates? Have you also checked with your PC's manufacturer (such as Dell, Toshiba, etc) to make sure you have all the latest drivers, firmware and BIOS installed?
Does the PC ever blue screen when the iPod is NOT connected?

Windows Blue Screen - when trying to re-sync an IPOD after doing 5 R's

My windows based Itunes failed to recognize my ipod, so I trouble shooted and finally ended up doing the 5 R's.
This resulted in a "Blank Ipod" (after restore).
I was able to successfully get Itunes to recognize my ipod after the restore. That is when a "major problem" occurred.
When my 37 gigs of MP3s on my PC attempt to automatically update onto my "blank ipod", my system crashes giving me the dreaded windows BLUE SCREEN! The error messgae indicates that a physical memory dump occurred and the system shuts down.
I figure it has something to do with all of those gigs trying to update onto the ipod. SO, I start to manually transfer (drag and drop) about 100 mp3s at a time onto the ipod within itunes. It still crashed after the 3rd batch of 100 mp3s.
Has anyone experienced this? Does it have anything to do with Mirosoft's newest IE vunerability? I use Firefox usually, but sometimes HAVE to use IE. What can I do?
This really *****.
thanks for your help.

hi zeppy!
hmmmmmm. a 0x7E? that's not the most commonly reported BSOD code here.
but the MS KB seemed to have at least one clue for us.
(1) sometimes people can get blue screens when they plug in an ipod if their FireWire, USB, or dock has gone bad. i see from that STOP message resource that the 0x7E can be associated with dodgy USB.
by way of tracking down that possibility, do you still get the BSOD if you connect to a different port? (or, if you've got a dock, connect directly to a port instead?)
(2) on general principles, we'd better check for malware. download fresh definitions and run vigorous virus and spyware scans. if your security software providers offer online scans, run those as well. (they can sometimes pick up an infection in cases where the security software on the PC has been compromised.)
(3) especially if you've recently installed any new hardware on your PC, head into Device Manager to check to see if there's any alert/warning messages showing up next to any of your devices. if you see any, what do they say?
(4) let's also let's also capture a minidump of the crash and send it to the Discussions Hosts, so they can throw it over the fence for the Apple engineers to analyze.
To set up your machine to capture a minidump, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", select the "Advanced" tab, select the "Startup and Recovery" Settings button, select "small memory dump" from the popup. When it crashes, look for the MiniDump file. It's usually in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" and is called something like Mini<number>-<number>.dmp.
And then send it to a Discussions Host. It doesn't hurt to put the URL to this discussion thread, so that whoever gets it has some context. Also give as much information about the context of the crash (in the email) as you can.
love, b
