Computer reboots when I connect my iPod to a USB 2.0 slot

Here are my specs:
- I have the new iPod 60 GigaByte hardrive version.
- Operating System on my PC: Windows XP
- CPU: AMD Athalon XP 1.8 gHz
- My PC is several years old and has four built-in USB 1.1 slots. My iPod works on all of these USB 1.1 ports, albeit slow. (And when I connect iPod to these slots, I get the message telling me I have a high speed device connected to a non-high speed USB port, which I understand.)
- I just installed a Dual-Link USB 2.0 and Firewire PCI card (from ADS tech) into an empty PCI slot on my PC. It has 3 USB 2.0 slots and two Fire-wire slots. The card is properly installed because windows immediately recognized it.
Now, I have tested two other devices on my new USB 2.0 slots. I have tested my mouse and a logitech gaming controller (although these devices are actually based on the older USB 1.1 technology), and these devices work in the USB 2.0 slots.
But, when I connect the iPod to any of the USB 2.0 slots, I get the little bell sound meaning that the computer is recognizing it. The iPod then displays the "Do not disconnect" message. But then the computer will begin rebooting by iteself. It will then attempt to reboot windows and almost gets there, but then reboots again. It continues this never-ending cycle of rebooting until I disconnect the iPod and then the computer reboots completely. Inserting the iPod will cause it to reboot again. This happens whether or not I have the iTunes program running.
Can anyone give me insight for resolving this problem? Has anyone else had this problem before?

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

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.

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

I just got a new computer. When I connect my IPod to ITunes, it says I need to transfer my files to I Tunes from my IPod. How do I do this?

I just got a new computer with Windows 7. I installed ITunes, and when I connect my IPod Touch 3rd generation, it says I need to transfer my files to ITunes before I sent or all data will be erased from my IPod. Unfortunately, it doesn't tell me how. Please help.

This will transfere iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
The info in this previous discussion tells how to transfer other stuff
Best iPod to PC
After you get the stuff in your iTunes' library let iTunes erase your iPod and replace it contents with what is now in your iTunes' library.

My computer freezes when i connect my ipod, Help me

Ok when i connect my ipod to my computer, the ipod charges, but the computer freezes, and nothing happens. In addition the computer does not recognize that i have connected the ipod. How do i fix this?

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 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.

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.

My computer reboots when i connect iphone 4

Any ideas...
I plug it in, it finds new hardware...thinks its a camera...and reboots itself.
Happens if I tunes is already going or not.
Was fine for the first few days then I took photos yesterday morning, now it reboots computer,
Not much use having a camera phone if I have to delte the photos to connect to my computer

No, it is a conflict with the webcam driver. It is a well known problem. You probably did not uninstall the driver correctly or uninstalled the wrong driver, but the best fix is to update the driver to the latest version, which does not have this bug.
The reason it doesn't happen if you have no photos is the iPhone does not register as a digital camera if there are no photos in the camera roll.

Computer reboots when connecting ipod to USB cable.

Has this happened to anyone else?
All of a sudden now, whenever I connect my ipod to the USB cable, it makes my computer reboot! And it doesn't stop rebooting until I disconnect the ipod!
I have no idea why this is happening, and I don't know how to make it stop.
I am really starting to lose my faith in EVERY item that Apple has created.

When I connect my ipod to USB immediately following taking it off my AC adapter, it causes my computer (PC, XP) to restart.
Reinstall Windows. This has nothing to do with iTunes or any other Apple software, because that functionality is entirely Windows based.
If reinstalling windows fresh (and doing all the updates) doesn't fix it, then you have a hardware problem on the PC.

HT1386 When I connect my iPod to my computer and try to sync Apps from my computer to the iPod, a warning comes up saying that I will lose all my existing Apps. Please help

I have got a new computer and i can no longer do a full sync. Apple always tells me I will lose all my exisiting Apps if I do a new sync. I prefer to purchase Apps on my computer over my iPod because of the smaller iPod. The new computer is recognized by Apple as an allowable new PC.
But this Sync warning is a pain. Plus, when i view my iPod's App icons on my copmputer, I can no longer drag and move them. I have the latest version of iTunes installed. Thank you for your help

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your device manually before syncing, you can restore it from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

As for your second problem, see if restrictions for app installation and deleting apps are active in Settings/General/Restrictions. If yes, allow to install and delete app again.
