Blue Screen when syncing IPOD

I have been perusing the threads and I am beginning to see some common problems with a few others out there. The Blue screen STOP messages seem to be happneing to others.
I have tried everything including updating windows with the newly released patch today.
Do any of you "experts" out there think that this problem might have to do with the recent windows vulnerability and the long awaited patch released today?
There are lots of news reports out there indicating that this particular windows flaw was very critical and my problems started right about the time the flaw was recognized.
I restored my IPOD as suggested with the 5 R's and now I am bummed because my IPOD is empty and I finally got my PC to recognize the IPOD but everytime I resynch all of my 37 gigs of MP3s to my IPOD, my PC crashes after about 100 MP3s and gives me the Stop message and this error string -
STOP: 0x0000007E (0x0000005, 0xDF1BA804, 0xF89FB89C, 0xF89FB598)
Can anyone please help us?
thanks

Not sure I'd care to be called an expert (or even an "expert").
As the discovery of this "flaw" coincided with the onset of your problem I rather doubt it is the cause, since the flaw must have existed before it was discovered. Blue screens are often (but not always) caused by broken drivers or memory problems. If your OS is generally stable, then it does tend to point towards some sort of a driver issue. It seems to me that the 5R's tends to focus attention on the iPod (I guess apple presume that the OS is OK or they just don't want to go there!). Some people might argue that no (normal) device you attach to the comp should cause it to crash, but that is rather academic for you right now. My suspicion is that it is a problem with the comp - well a device driver or memory. Another possibility is that there is more than one problem - and whichever problem happens first triggers the other.
I doubt if the latest Microsoft patches will fix your problem - but who knows! I'd download and run a decent memory test program (e.g. Memtest86) and make sure you eliminate that as a cause. Are you in a position to attempt a restore? That might be worth considering. Otherwise, try doing a complete uninstall of iTunes and the IPod software and starting over. As a last resort you might need to consider re-installing windows.
I guess you've already done all of the obvious comp things (like running chkdsk). Have you, or are you able to test the iPod on a different comp?

  • 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!"

  • My mac will restart & show Blue Screen when plugged ipod classic into my mac

    When i plugged ipod into my mac and i put to the Disk Mode my ipod , the computer will restart & don't let me to restore my ipod !!!! Please help and give me a solution !!!
    My ipod & mac info :
    iPod Classic 160gb (2009)
    Mac Book Pro (2011)
    iTunes 11.1.3

    If your computer is  a 2011, you can stop the blue screen by turning off graphic card switching.  Under apple, system preferences, energy, uncheck box.  Temporary fix.  Your logic board may need to be replaced if you are under warranty or have apple care otherwise $1000.00.  May be software or firmware problem but apple has provided no info.  Replacing logic board has corrected problem for some users and not others.  Everything I've mentioned only applies to 2011 MBPs.

  • Iphone 5s Blue screen when syncing photos

    I am trying to upload photos to my IPhone 5s.  I can download everything else like music, apps. movies, but I cannot do photos.
    I replaced my IPhone 5s because of a bad hardrive.  When I download photos my IPhone 5s will get a solid blue screen and restart.  Itunes will then display a message that says my IPhome 5s cannot be detected.
    Anyone having this issue?  only started getting this issue when I updated to IOS 7.1

    Forgot to add that I replaced it my self. After I replaced the back I tested the phone out before screwing the last 2 screw next to the lighting port. The phone worked then. But that was before i plugged in the Touch ID cable.

  • 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!

  • 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 I connect iPhone to my PC.

    I've narrowed down the cause of the Windows blue screen when I connect the iPhone to via USB. If there are photos in Camera Roll I get the blue screen. When there are no pictures -- no blue screen. I can reproduce this every time now. I can live with this for now but want to be able to report it so it can get fixed.
    Does anyone else have this same problem or something I can do to resolve myself?

    Hello to everyone who is posting here and still encountering a blue screen.
    Posted below are a couple articles that speak about this. Some which may or may not apply to your current blue screen.

  • HT1369 when syncing ipod, receiving blue screen error WDF_Violation

    When syncing ipod, receiving blue screen error WDF_Violation

    I am having a similar problem. I have an iPod Classic 80Gb with a brand new computer using iTunes11 on Windows 8.
    iTunes sees the iPod on the Sidebar, but when I try to sync or change any settings, roughly half the time it will crash my windows and cite a WDF Violation error. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Regardless, even if it doesn't crash, it won't sync. It gets as far as "Starting Sync" and then it just stops.
    I have verified that the iPod still syncs fine on my old xp machine, and I have tried the following, all to no avail.
    Enabling Disk use
    Converting higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC
    Deleting and reinstalling the iPod's drivers through device manger
    Running iTunes in XP SP3 compatibility mode
    Running iTunes as Administrator
    At one point, with disk use enabled and 128 kbps bit rate selected, I managed to get it to prompt me to Erase and Sync. it went on to erase everything on the iPod, but would not load any of my media back up. Subsequent attempts to sync gave the same result.
    I had a look at the link above, but it's a brand new computer and I installed and updated everything myself to the latest version, except my Wacom tablet, which was acting funny with the latest driver, but it can't be that because the original driver from the install CD I reverted too has workd fine in conjunction with iTunes and this same iPod for years on my other machine.
    I am getting extremly frustrated with this. Someone please help make it better !?!

  • 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.

  • Blue screen when unplugging phone charger from USB

    My HTC Droid incredible 2 causes windows 7 crash (blue screen) when I unplug charger cable from desktop USB port.  It does not matter whether I have unplugged the phone from charger BEFORE unplugging the charger cable from the USB port.  Has anyone else had this issue & resolved it?

    On your lower right hand corner is an icon that is used to disconnect your usb devices safely.
    simply click on it then select the device you want to remove, the computer will say "Device is safe to remove" then unplug the usb cable from the computer.
    Additionally try another usb port on your computer and see if that corrects the problem.
    Another thing to do is before you hook the phone up again do a system shut down and restart. Then plug in the phone. This may load your usb drivers correctly or the system will repair them.
    Good Luck

  • Blue screen when powering off

    I recently purcahsed a one year old Lenovo 3000, it had Windows XP installed and I upgraded this to Windows Vista with no problems. I then renamed the laptop and deleted the previous owners user files and that's when I had a problem. When I power down the laptop I get a Blue Screen saying something about a dump and saying it was doing something to protect my PC ?  I found some kind of fault finding log and it mentioned something about the pc's name and also something about being unable to access a certain user file. I changed the computer name back to the original one and unerased the original user file but I still get the Blue Screen when powering down.
    Is it possible to get a replacement software DVD that will get me back to square one please, thanks for any help. Dan McLean in Port Glasgow. 

    This really sounds like shoddy drivers combined with an IRQ conflict.
    I suggest you post your IRQ's from System Info, for example:
    IRQ 0   System timer   OK
    IRQ 1   Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard   OK
    IRQ 4   Communications Port (COM1)   OK
    IRQ 5   WinFast TV2000 XP WDM Audio Capture   OK
    IRQ 6   Standard floppy disk controller   OK
    IRQ 8   System CMOS/real time clock   OK
    IRQ 9   Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System   OK
    IRQ 11   NVIDIA nForce PCI System Management   OK
    IRQ 12   Logitech-compatible Mouse PS/2   OK
    IRQ 13   Numeric data processor   OK
    IRQ 14   Primary IDE Channel   OK
    IRQ 15   Secondary IDE Channel   OK
    IRQ 16   RADEON X800 XT Platinum Edition   OK
    IRQ 17   WinFast TV2000 XP WDM Video Capture   OK
    IRQ 18   Creative SB Live! series   OK
    IRQ 20   NVIDIA Network Bus Enumerator   OK
    IRQ 21   Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller   OK
    IRQ 22   Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller   OK
    IRQ 23   Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller   OK
    Also, as you intend to DL and install the  nVidia Drivers make sure you get the sound drivers from Realtek Downloads too.
    What Drivers are you using for the AIW?
    Take all the Driver CD's and make pretty Christmas tree ornaments out of them
    ~Edit~ I just looked at the stop error again and realized I misread, then I saw Supershanks post My initial suspicion is likely to be wrong, but it's worthe a look anyway.

  • Blue screen when attempting to use the dedicated video card

    I keep getting a blue screen when attempting to use the dedicated video card.
    I managed to install the AMD driver for it but without the other components like the Catalyst Control Center as it blue screened on startup when attempting to load the Catalyst Control Center.
    The OS loads fine. Any applications that don't use the dedicated video card runs fine. All other drivers install fine as well.
    Applications like games and Photoshop that switch to the dedicated video card on startup automatically crashes, the OS freezes then a blue screen appears.
    What could be causing the problem? This problem just recently appeared. Two weeks ago.

    This problem only appeared a few weeks ago. Before that, the same drivers from the HP site installed and functioned normally.
    Could this be a problem with the graphics card itself?
    Note sure but if we can know the system P/N others can look to see what drivers it has for the graphics to know what is there.

  • Blue Screen when burning a DVD

    When I try to burn a DVD the systems crash with a blue screen when "compiling media" is at 95%. Windows returns a post error "PX Engine has stopped working properly". I have followed all steps in both pages http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415318?tstart=30 and http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/troubleshoot-system-errors-freezes-burning.htm l. The PX Engine is installed by Premiere and I also tried to install an update of PX Engine as instructed by Microsoft Help. Any help? I have a Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit SP1 on Dell XPS (Intel i7, 8 GB RAM, 250+ GB free hd space).

    A BSOD is a very serious matter. It is most often caused by hardware, or low-leve drivers interfacing with the OS. This ARTICLE goes into much more detail. It also provides links to tools, that might be very helpful.
    I would start looking for:
    Heat (DVD burning, like Rendering and Export, is very intensive)
    RAM (DVD burning might well be using RAM that sits unused by most other operations)
    PSU (DVD burning requires more power, as the HDD's and multi-drive are all very active)
    Good luck,
