Computer keeps crashing/shutting down while syncing -?USB fail?-

Hi,
I recently bought a new Ipod Touch 32gb. But there's one small thing that keeps annoying me. Everytime I connect my Ipod to my computer, it shuts down under 5 minutes. (It did manage to stay connected for 30 minutes, once...)
So I went to the computer store to "let it fix the problem". They told me that it was a problem with my USB-drivers and that they had solved the problem. Once I came home the problems began again.
Does anyone know what I have to do to fix this problem without buying a new chipboard or computer if it's my USB-driver? Or do I have a virus or such?
Thx!

I don't believe this is a driver or a virus issue. My 64gb is a month old and doing the same thing. I wrote to Apple for advice and they responded "try using the forums for information". No joke.
Every time I sync the device it causes my PC to freeze and sometimes crash. Am also running a 2nd gen Touch with no such issues, syncing fine. My 3rd gen also keep "verifying", sometimes for ten minutes at a time. Have already had to restore the iPod once and think I will have to do it again. Touch screen also freezes intermittently and data I've transfered is frequently corrupted.
I'm trying to get a replacement from the retailer but this and several other bugs really need to be addressed directly by Apple for such an expensive item.

  • My computer keeps on shutting down randomly

    My computer keeps on shutting down randomly. What can I do?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions 
    Help us help you. The more complete the description of your problem is (what OS you're using, what Application you're using, recent software installs or updates, a full or screen shot or the text of any error messages) the more assistance we can provide, and, the sooner we can provide it.
    Under your profile there's no data about the age of your MBA, the OS it's using. This is helpful for us to know because there's a phenomena with machines recently updated to Mavericks that have unusual sleep/wake behavior.  There are other issues particular to certain combinations of machines and software.
    Is this happening when the computer is on battery or plugged into the mains (wall outlet)?
    How long has it been happening?

  • Ipod Touch keeps crashing/shutting down

    Hello, My Ipod touch keeps crashing/shutting down/freezing. Any tips/hints ideas what is causing this?

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothng is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPad Safari Browser keeps crashing/shutting down on Popular Websites

    Apple iPad (1) WiFi + 3G (Carrier AT&T) Model MC497LL
    Ever since upgrading iOS Software to 5.1, whenever using Safari Browser in WiFi only mode, it doesn't really matter what website I visit, whether it's www.facebook.com or any other site with or without picture and/or video content, not sure if most websites I visit are written in HTML5 or are at least compatible, but I bet my bottom dollar that I wouldn't have this problem at all if Adobe Flash were installed and compatible with iOS DEVICES. It crashes on a daily basis by exiting from the browser and returning to the home screen. Not only is this frustrating but I've just about had it with Apple and am seriously considering trading my iPad for ANY Android or Windows 7/8 Tablet. Help!!!

    Do a hard reset ie hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider). That should fix it.

  • Potential Args, Computer shutting down while playing a game

    I've only had this mac for 5 months, but it keeps shutting down while I'm playing StarCraft II. It should be able to handle the game, but it keeps telling me to restart and I have no idea what the error says or means. I'm not sure what (4 potential args on stack) means. I'm not sure if it is a frame rate issue and how to fix it or change the frame rate if needed. Any help would be much appreciated. The error is below:

    You are only just beginning to feel the pain of Starcraft II on your Mac. Have you seen this List of problems?
    Blizzard created the junk, and it's up to them to properly patch it. The list of other well known and respected programs it's incompatible with (LittleSnitch, AppCleaner, FileVault, and PeerGuardian to name a few) doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy.
    The page also mentions that your CPU can overheat, for whatever reason, and that means total failure for a laptop or early component damage to a motherboard. Gee, that sounds like something that shouldn't be run on a regular basis.

  • Windows shuts down while performing iPod sync!

    Help! Just in the last couple of days my computer has started shutting down on its own but only while performing a sync between iTunes and my 60GB iPod. I upgraded my software to iTunes 7.5 and even installed the update for the iPod as well. I am still getting a shutdown during the first few minutes of my sync no matter what. Help! (FYI - my music is housed on my external hard drive and my iTunes library file is housed within My Music on my C drive if that matters.) Thank you soooo much! Any help would be appreciated!

    Your's isn't a dual processor (or simulated dual processor, aka, hyperthreaded) machine, is it? I and many others have found this problem to occur on such machines (when is Apple going to fix this problem?) Some have found forcing iTunes to run on only one processor to be a successful workaround (there are at least a couple freeware utilities out there (I don't recall their names OTTOMH) that will force a PC app to run on only one processor on multi-processor machines, or you can try, after starting iTunes up, cntr-alt-deleting and selecting Task Manager, then in the list of running apps, right-click on iTunes and choose Go To Process, then right-click on the selected process and select Set Affinity, and uncheck one (or all but one if you happen to have more than two processors) of the boxes) but this didn't work for me: I had to physically remove one of my two processors - I haven't had the problem since, so I'm confident that was (is) the problem in my case. (But I'm still ****** 'cause I very purposefully bought a dual processor machine; it just so happens that right now I'm doing more CD importing than dual core work, so for now it's the best solution for me, but I eagerly await the day I hear that Apple has FIXED THIS PROBLEM!)

  • Computer shuts down when syncing iPhone

    My computer's been shutting down when I'm syncing my iPhone. No matter how hard I try, it keeps going off.
    I don't think it's heat issue because I tried it when it was cool down or when there's fan- none worked.
    Would you please help me? Turning computer back on every time when I'm syncing my phone is such a pain in the butt. :/

  • Premiere Pro CS4 crashes and system shuts down while rendering

    Hi All,
    Good morning everyone, my system shuts down while rendering using Adobe media encoder from premiere pro. I have tried the following:
    1.Completely removing CS4 and reinstalling.
    2. Updating all the video drivers.
    3. Re installing the Operating System (XP and Vista)
    But the issue persists, i have attached the crash report and any thoughts are highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Vincent

    A number of problems pop out of your DXDIAG:
    Both your video driver and your audio driver are more than 3 years old.
    Your F drive is slow, because of the fill rate of 90%. You lack other hard disks.
    You have Matrox, BlackMagic, Nero, Sony, DivX and other stuff installed. It has been a long time ago that I have seen such a long list of DirectShow filters installed.
    Suggestions: Update your drivers, clean up your F drive and add another disk, remove all that Matrox stuff, possibly include BlackMagic and Sony.
    What export/encoding settings do you use from what sequence settings?

    No. If you do then it will kill the process, unless that's what you desire to happen.

    Hi Monroeeugene,
    I'm not sure if you mean shutting down or going to sleep ... but this article will explain how to change your sleep settings so your downloads don't get interrupted.

    To conserve energy, all Macs have the ability to sleep. When you haven't used your Mac for a set amount of time, it enters a low-power mode until you wake it by pressing the keyboard, trackpad, or moving the mouse. Sleep doesn't turn off your computer; it merely puts it into an inactive state that consumes less power.
    Open System Preferences
    Choose View > Energy Saver.
    Choose the Power Adapter or Battery tab. If you're using a desktop Mac (a Mac mini, iMac, or Mac Pro), the Power Adapter and Battery tabs do not appear.
    Move the sliders for both the computer and display to change the times in which they go to sleep.
    Select any other options you want, such as sleep and wake.
    Hope this helps ...
