Computer automatically shut down when Nano is connected

Whenever I connect my iPod Nano 4gb to my computer, my computer automatically shuts down. Just like that. Without any warning. Sometimes iTunes has the time to open, but most of the time it doesn't. Can someone please tell me what must I do? My nano has been working well for the past year.

Hi,
What is your machine and its OS ? What are you doing when it shut down ? Most likely due to heat, keep it cooler may help:

How do you prevent the computer from shutting down when in sleep mode?

How do you prevent the computer from shutting down when in sleep mode and plugged in?

Thanks tjk.
Those are great suggestions and got me looking in places I had not considered before. Unfortunately, the problem remains. The System Preferences did not have the shut down option activated and there are no parental controls active on the computer.
Any other suggestions are welcome.

My computer keeps shutting down when i try turn it on

My computer keeps shutting down when I try turn it on

Sounds like you may have hard drive issues.
You can try using built in diagnostics if you have them by holding D on startup. If nothing special happens, your model does not have them. You can then try to boot to recovery by holding Option while starting up and selecting Recovery HD. (Run Disk Utility Repair) If no Recovery HD appears, then you have a bad hard drive or an older OS than supports it.
If neither of those works I'd take it to an Apple store or Authorized Apple Service Provider near you for a diagnostic test. Apple will do it for free, so it's preferred for a test, but may not be the best price for a simple hard drive replacement. Head over to locate.apple.com to find the nearest AASPs and Apple Stores and set up an appointment.

Is there a way to have the nano automatically shut down when external power is removed?

My old ipod shut down when I disconnected the external power, a useful feature when using it in the car. Can the 6th Gen nano be configured to do this?

ITunes shuts down when ipod is connected....

Ever since I did the last update, everytime I connect my ipod to synch with itunes...itunes automatically shuts down!! I can use itunes just fine by itself and the same for the ipod. But once I connect them itunes just shuts down...no error message, nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this??

This has started happening to me in the past week since i uploaded the latest Apple install on vista.
Itunes will work on its own but soon as i plug in my new nano it shuts down within seconds.
This is typical of Apple.....until hundred of complaints are registered they never get off their F~~~~ing arses and solve the problems

PowerBook shuts down when iPhone is connected

I just got an iPhone S 3.0.1, and noticed that whenever I connect it to my 15" PowerBook 10.4.11, it will shut down.
So far, the computer stays on if I'm using it, but if I leave it inactive for about 5-10 minutes, it completely shuts down.
When I go to restart it, it takes a bit longer than usual to have anything come up on the screen.
Any thoughts?

OK, that's a little different - it sounded like the computer would shut down immediately upon connecting the iPhone.
I have no great answer. I use the Touch myself. Try posting to the iPhone forum, too.
In case it helps someone, does this happen whether the power cable is attached or not? What timeout do you have set for the Mac to sleep ordinarily? Got an Apple Store nearby?

Laptop shuts down when trying to connect

Bought a WRT110, installed software, and everytime the router and the wi-fi on my laptop are turned on, the laptop shuts down and restarts. Anybody have this problem before?

I have the same problem. I just installed a new WRT160N on the desktop but my Toshiba M35x-S311 shuts down when I switch on the wireless connection. What's going on?

Firefox does not automatically shut down when I turn off my computer. It used to before this latest Firefox upgrade.

In the past, when I shut my computer down, Firefox would automatically close. Now, Firefox has problems closing at shut down. This happens every time I shut off my computer. I'm using Windows XP pro on a desktop.

Yep, that did it. Thanks for that tip.
However, the other issue is that whenever I start Firefox, the tabs I had open when I shut down do not automatically load. Again, this did not happen before the latest Firefox upgrade.
I have to say that I like the idea of AVG watching my back against malicious links, and not that it's disabled I'm concerned about viruses. Or should I be?
Thanks again for the help.

Computer Shuts Down When iPod Is Connected

Every time I plug my iPod into my PC, the computer shuts down within 30 seconds. I have updated iTunes and that didn't work. Has anyone had this problem and/or how can I fix it so I can load new music into my iPod?

Hey KSPinStripe,
First we'll gather more information about the computer. Disconnect all USB devices other than the keyboard an mouse. Open iTunes> Help> Run Diagnostics> iPod Diagnostics> Next, then copy and paste the results here.
Plug the iPod directly into the computer(the front or back of the computer not a hub, keyboard, or moniter.) Does it still power off? Does the computer show any error messages?

Palm Desktop 6.2 automatically shuts down when trying to create/edit calendar events

Hi,
I have a Palm Pre and PD 6.2 installed on my computer. Right now I have Win 7 on 32 bits installed but I have encountered this issue also on Win XP 32 bits SP3, Win7 64 bits, on my machine and also on other machines.
PD shuts down automatically when I do any of the following actions:
-Calendar - Right Click - New Event - PD Shuts Down
-Calendar - Left Click to create event - Type some text in - Then click outside the event slot - Then right click on the event - Click on Edit or Repeat - PD Shuts Down
-Calendar - Import an existing event - Then right click on the event - Click on Edit or Repeat - PD Shuts Down
My PD6.2 is clean. I have re-installed my OS on my machine for many times. Just right after the install when I go to Calendar and I try to create/edit and event it shuts down. I have tried on some other machines. I have tried also on WinXP - same results.
I have trying to remove the datebook.mdb file out of Documents\PalmOSDesktop\Devicename\Datebook, but still with no luck.
The only thing that comes to my mind is that the installation might be corrupt, but I'm not doing anything abnormal, I install PD following the recommended settings. I have downloaded PD 6.2 from Palm's web site also. I just don't know what to do.
I hope that someone has an answer to this.
Thank You

You are correct this is a result of a corrupt install. Is there anything that could be connecting the installs of Palm Desktop? Like the same CD being used, same download file, or the same data?
Here is the instructions for a clean uninstall:
You should first make a copy of your data. If you have Palm Desktop 4.2 and lower you can copy your user folder by going to C:\Program files\Palm or PalmOne. Once in here look for your username and right click on it and copy it. Then open up My Documents and Pasting it in here. If you have Palm Desktop 6.2.2 go to My Documents/Documents --> Palm OS Desktop. Copy the folder(s) in here and Paste them in My Documents/Documents
Now you will need to uninstall Palm Desktop. First go to Control Panel and in XP go to Add and Remove documents, in Vista Programs and Features. Then look for Palm Desktop and uninstall it. Then go to C:\Program files\Palm or C:\Program files\PalmOne and delete this folder. If you have Vista you will need to go to here:
C:\Program files\Palm
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\Palm or PalmOne
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go into your Control Panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck hide hidden files.
One this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your registry.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel you are unsure of your self see if you have a friend that can help you or a PC technician that you can pay to help you. This will show them everything they need to delete. To help against this we need to do a backup.
Go to start and run type "regedit" without quotes
Highlight MY COMPUTER, go to File --> export. Should pop up with a Save As box. Current location is fine should be in My Documents. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
Easiest way to make sure your doing the right one highlight the key i.e. Palm Quick Install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician. BUT do not turn off your computer.
The Registry keys are as follows (Note: some of these Registry keys will not be here but if they are, delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource
Next reboot your computer
Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you did not sync before create a hotsync name.

ITunes shutting down when iPod is connected...

I am having trouble getting my installation of iTunes to recognize that there is an iPod connected. My 5th Gen iPod Video can be connected to Windows no problem, I am able to access it as a disk drive, etc, get all the drivers for Windows to install, etc...however, when I start iTunes, the problem excperiences an unexpected error and is needed to shut down immediately.
iTunes is able to start, error free when my iPod is not connected via the USB port - only happens when an iPod is connected during iTunes' start up and when one is connected after iTunes has been started.
Any ideas as to how this can be solved?
AMD Desktop PC Windows XP Pro

With a call to a friend of the family who deals with Apple related troubleshooting, was able to Hard Format the iPod as a FAT32 disk drive and have iTunes recognize it in "recovery mode", allowing me to start iTunes and repair the disk.
