Computer freezes when i connect ipod mini 4gb

i have a problem with my ipod mini 4gb (2nd gen.) for like 2months, it freezes when i connect it to my windows computer.
i tried to reset my ipod en reinstal itunes, but nothing worked. PLEASE HELP!

Hmm... See, I've tried that already (And just tried it again) and instead of allowing me to run it, the computer freezes entirely, just as it would if the "Restart your computer" message came up, only it doesn't show the text, and nor does the screen dim. The only thing I can do at that point is hold down the power button, thusly shutting the computer down. So I cannot restore my iPod that way. Are there any other ways? Or does anyone perhaps have any other suggestions?

  • My computer freezes when I connect my iPod

    My iPod won't turn on, I've left it plugged in my iHome to charge for 4+ hours. After that didn't work I decided to plug it into my computer to do the restore feature. but when I plugged my iPod in, my computer freezes up. It stays that way and won't do anything. If I unplug the iPod my computer unfreezes.

    I was having the same problem connecting to USB 1.1 on my PC. I installed A USB 2.0 adapter in my PC and plug the iPod into it. Now my PC does not freeze and the iPod works perfectly.
    Not sure if this will solve your problem but it did mine.

  • My computer freezes when I connect either of my two Classic iPods. As soon as I disconnect the computer functions normall. This happens whether I have iTunes open or not

    When I connect either of my iPod Classics my computer freezes whether I have iTunes open or not. I have a second computer which functions normally when I connect my iPods. Any advice would be welcome.

    Your problematic PC, has some software or most likely the Winsocks of some plugins is in conflict with iTunes, if both PC has the same version of iTunes and Windows.
    If you run the Task manager, compare both PC and see what process is missing in the good one, and that software is the culprit.
    Then removed it from your bad PC, if you dont need it, but most likely you'll need it, as it is the graphic card or some video software.
    Have a nice day!

  • ITunes freezes when i connect iPod?!

    I've had my iPod one week - one week!!! - and already something has gone wrong.
    iTunes works fine when I'm just listening to music or what have you, but when I plug in my iPod, within a few minutes the iTunes freezes. iPod says not to disconnect, I have no choice but to, and have to alt-control-delete to get rid of iTunes.
    iPod seems normal....plays fine when I'm using it and stuff. Basically they work fine independently but when I connect them, it all goes wrong.
    So is it the iPod or the iTunes that's poorly, and how do I fix it?! Please help!
    Lucy. x

    OKay, I've somehow managed to fix this problem (not sure how, changed the settings I think) but in doing so I've managed to wipe my iPod, and when I tried to put music back on, half the music has suddenly got exclamation marks by them and won't play.
    What have I done?!

  • Whole computer freezes when Internet connects

    My computer has been experiencing the beach ball of death. But only when it connects to the Internet. When the wifi is switched off and no network cable connected then it works perfectly. However when I connect to the Internet either through my iPhone hotspot or my home broadband it slows to an absolute crawl. This does not happen to other computers on the same network. I have checked the network and it seems to be fine. Can anyone help me? I can't find similar articles. I have a mac book pro on 10.8.4

    Thanks Linc
    I have done as you suggest. Below is me connecting my wifi and then going to Safari and then opening a webpage. During that I got the beach ball of death twice.
    It seems to have I/O errors occuring at this point. From a very quick look around this seems to involve a problem with my hard drive - although this only seems to be occuring when I am connected to the internet and I don't get the ball of death othertimes...?
    Can anyone help?

  • My computer freezes when i connect to itunes

    My computer crashes everytime I connect to itunes.  Any ideas thanks.

    Windows 7 has not been released and is not supported by the iPhone. Since there are reports of iPhone owners running Windows 7 I would expect it to work.
    This does sound like a Windows or computer problem, not a fault with the iPhone itself. Or this could be related to some of the changes expected in OS 3.1 which we guess will be released ahead of Windows 7 and could have support for Windows 7 as part of its enhancements. Only Apple will know and likely they aren't talking

  • IPod not mounting...Windows freezes when I connect Ipod.

    This has happened to me a couple times lately. I'll connect my iPod (4G, 40GB) and ITunes and, sometimes, the rest of Windows just kinda freezes up on me. As soon as I disconnect the cable, everything goes back to working fine (except, of course, I can't transfer any music).
    Also, the iPod itself seems to be a bit loony. I can hear the disk whirring for a couple seconds, then it stops, couple seconds, then it stops. Once or twice, it's rebooted on its own.
    The last time this happened to me, a couple weeks ago, I had to reinstall ITunes 3 or 4 times before things finally worked out OK.
    I've tried the "5 Rs" and I've seen the Exclamation Point icon once or twice...I was looking into the thread discussing that (with partitioning the drive, etc.). I'd rather not do that if I don't have to.
    Anybody have ideas?

    I am having the same problem, I can sometimes get into disk mode and half the time I can't. My CPU doesn't recognize it when I plug it in. And usally when I plug it in while in Disk Mode it goes back to the apple symbol and then the sad ipod icon

  • ITunes 11.1.1 freezes when I connect iPod Video

    Ever since installing iTunes 11 on Windows 7 laptop, I can't plug in my iPod Video (5G) without crashing iTunes.  Every update to iTunes does the same, including 11.1.1.  My iPod works fine.  iTunes 10 works fine (on a different computer).  No way am I putting 11 on the other computer until this is resolved.

    Well, I'm pleased to say that I solved the problem (but not the mystery).  I tried all our Apple iDevices on my laptop (with iTunes 11.1.1), and they all worked OK, except the abovementioned 5G Video (including another 5G Video that I had).  When the 2nd 5G Video worked, I realized the problem lied with the 1st iPod, so I did a "Restore" (to original settings), and that seemed to do the trick.  I didn't think to do this before because the iPod worked fine otherwise, and worked with the old iTunes 10.7. 
    But here's the rub:  I HAD to use the old iTunes 10 to do the restore...because iTunes 11 crashed before I could do a Restore.  So, the mystery may never be solved, but at least all is now working.

  • PC freezing when I connect Ipod

    Hi,
    Hope someone can help, my PC is freezing as soon as I connect one of my ipods (20gb & shuffle). I have tried updating itunes e.t.c but I am getting nowhere fast. I am pretty certain its down to a Trojan that found its way in but I cant workout how to fix it. I havnt tried to re-install itunes yet as I am worried about losing my files.
    Thanks

    Not having a solution ...
    BUT! Backup your audio tracks immediately!

  • When I connect iPod mini it comes up as data

    ITunes recognizes my iPod as Data and it doesn't update new songs added.

    When I start iTunes, the iPod is comes up with the name "Data" and fails to update new purchases. I am not sure if "Data" is a generic name that iTunes created or if I did something incorrectly at some point in the past. When I go to the File menu and choose update songs on "Data" iTunes starts another window which comes up with the word Data in the top center portion of the window where the word "iTunes" normally is (above the window.)

  • ITunes and Computer freezes when ipod is connected

    When I connect my video ipod to my computer (dell desktop) the system freezes, as in it will not respond to mouse clicks and keyboard (but can still get to task manager). When I unplug the ipod it comes back to life. Programs always freeze, but sometimes I am able to navigate within windows without it freezing, but as soon as a program is brought up, my computer falls to its knees.
    I have the latest version of iTunes, and updater v. 1.1, (but I have not been able to update the firmware yet from v 1.0).
    The odd thing is last night I was able to download several gigs worth of music to it without incident. I then tried to load movies (they were in the wrong format, but I didn't know it at the time), and so in an effort to correct that I uninstalled itunes, the ipod drivers, and the ipod updater programs several times.
    I cannot update the ipod firmware because the computer freezes when the ipod is plugged in, so the program freezes as well. Kind of a catch 22 situation.
    I have been over the forums and help archives for about an hour and a half now and I have come up dry.
    Windows XP does recognize the ipod when the cable is connected, and the ipod flashes, "Do not disconnect", which it is supposed to do.
    I suspect this is drivers/software, but I have no idea where to go from here.
    Help?

    Hey!
    That EXACT thing happened to me! 2 nights ago I'm downloading like crazy, all is well. I got on LimeWire and downloaded some videos and tried to put them on my iPod. Imported them into iTunes then tried to put em on my iPod and it completely wiped out all my songs! So I get back on, put the songs back in, and about half way through the update the thing freezes. I've re-installed everything, and have reset my iPod. Did you figure out what to do? Maybe your fix will fix my problem, too.
    Thank you!

  • My ipod nano 3 freezes when i connect it to my pc?

    my ipod nano 3 freezes when i connect it to my pc, i have to reset it so it gets recognised. this is abit annoying, so is their anyway to fix this problem ?
    PS:I have ipod nano 4gb G3

    I have resolved this problem for me. I initially deleted and reinstalled iTunes and deleted any redundant programs which might have been creating a conflict (I have children who install all kinds of rubbish) Someone else had found a USB program conflict and I think my problem was around a conflict with the USB ports. I removed a printer connection which was (unusually) connected via a port next to the ipod connection and plugged the ipod in via a different port and bingo - all is well.
