Computer crashes when ipod connected

I have a click wheel ipod and also an ipod nano, they have always worked properly but recently everytime I connect them to my computer via usb, they crash my computer. I connected to another computer and restored my ipod nano, then went to connect it to my computer and it still crashed it. I have tried numerous things to try and fix this and now I am stumped as I do not know what else to do. Does anyone have any good suggestions please?

If you iPod works with other PC, then the problem is with your computer.
Have you tried to install the OS on your computer?

Launch iTunes on your new computer then from the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
Try syncing.

My computer crashes when I connect my iPod via usb

I have a number of iPods. 120GB iPod classic is my main one. Have used it on the same Windows XP for a number of years. I sync on average 1-2 times a week. All of a sudden when I connect via USB the computer crashes. Same thing happens with my other iPods. Tried different USB ports. Same thing. Have tried other USB devices, no problem.
Have upgraded to latest version of iTunes. Same problem.
It appears the issue is with the Apple USB driver....? Just wondering if someone has seen this problem and has a work around for it.

ITunes crashes when iPod connected

After four years I finally have my first error message of any kind with my Mac. The other day I plugged in my iPod touch after iTunes was already open and an error message popped up saying iTunes would be forced to close. I can use iTunes w/out any issue but as soon as I plug in my iPod, it crashes every time. Anyone have any fixes?

OK I FIXED IT!! my ipod is all set to manual except for the games. Both my games became unplayable the other day for some reason (texas holdem and tetris). i went into my ipod through my computer and went into the ipod_control folder. i deleted the games. now it works fine.

Wireless Network Crashing When IPod Connected

Why would my wireless network (TimeCapsule) crash each and every time an iPod is turned on and tries to connect to the wireless network?
I normally have two laptops Cat5'd to the LAN and one iPad connected to the wireless network.
Your comments are appreciated,
John

Hi oNewton,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It's difficult to say why your Time Capsule is exhibiting this behavior, and it is definitely unexpected.
As a starting point for troubleshooting, I recommend resetting the Time Capsule using the steps in this article:

All the best,

Computer Crashes when ipod touch 2nd gen is plugged in

Every time I plug my ipod touch into my computer a blue screen comes up and tells me to shut down my computer immediately. This happened while I still had a warranty on my ipod so I sent it back, got a new one and things worked for a while. It now is happening again and I no longer have a warranty on my ipod.
The blue screen talks about bios and caches on there but I am not a computer person so I don't know what this all means.
Please help

ITunes crashes when I connect my iPod to the PC when iTunes is running....

I have written about this problem before, but there have not been any successful solutions as of this date. I will explain my situation a little further and maybe someone can help.
Most of the time, when I connect my iPod to my pc while iTunes is running, the instance the iPod shows up on the library site, and whenever I move the cursor, iTunes crashes, so I have to close iTunes right away and try to disconnect my iPod. Most of the time, a message comes up that says info is being transferred to the ipod and that I shouldn't disconnet it at that time, but I usually go ahead because I know it isn't transferring at that time, since itunes has crashed.
Sometimes, after I have clicked on the first message to go ahead and disconnect my ipod, another messages comes up that says something to the effect of, "You can't disconnect because it is being used by another server at this time." So I click "OK" and then iTunes stays on for a few moments which gives me time to transfer a song or two, but then itunes crashes as soon as it finished transferring or before it finishes.
As anyone can imagine, this has really become a hugh problem. Having an iPod and not being able to use iTunes makes it very unhandy. I'm not able to add any new music or any of the playlists which i have been working on. Does anyone have a solution, or any suggestions as to what may be going on? It would be deeply appreciated.
I plan to restore my iPod in a day or two if I don't get a solution to this, but I don't have all of the music, videos, etc. that I have on the iPod since I removed much of it from iTunes to help the computer run faster. I had over 2000 items in the library, so it was pulling the pc down and it was taking forever to use the computer.
I am unable to use any of the software to transfer everything from my iPod to the iTunes library because of the problem with iTunes crashing when I connect the iPod, so this isn't a solution at this time.
Someone, please help!

I suspect a hardware problem. But do the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Resore the iPid to factoery defaults/new iPod.
In the latter part of you post, I thin you ar sayng that you do not have a syning computer and the music is not on the computer. If so, do the following so you will not lose anthing (or very little) when you restore.
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Best iPod to PC
- Connect the iPod to the computer and right click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Backup. This will make a backup so you can restore to the backup

Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

You can't do that.
And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.

So you connect the iPod to an USB port, and then your computer immediately restarts with no further action from you? That's very odd...
Try removing all USB peripherals (including any hubs) except for your keyboard and mouse, and then connect the iPod directly to one of the USB ports on the computer. If that makes it work, connect your devices one at a time.
thanks that works i finally can use my ipod

No, your iPhone and your iPad should not appear in the finder.
I'm not sure what you mean about downloading photos with iPhoto being double handling, but you can download direct to a folder with Image Capture. Image Capture can also be used to delete photos from the Camera Roll on the iPhone or iPad (preferrably after they are downloaded).
You can remove the photos you synced from your phone with iTunes by syncing again with an empty folder, That will delete all the photos that were previously synced that way, replacing them with the contents of the empty folder (that is, nothing). This will not effect photos takes with the camera on your iPhone.
