Computer requires restart evry time ipod connected

Have a 20 gig Ipod that is about 3 yrs old. Everytime I connect the computer dims and I am told to restart. When I restart with the Ipod still plugged in and log in, the computer dims and tells me to restart. Anyone have this problem and if so, any ideas on a fix??
Thx

My computer needed to restart every time as well, and I connected it to another computer and showed up fine. So from there, I restored the ipod on that computer, and now it works fine on my computer. So hopefully that will work for you too.

Computer shuts down ever time I connect the IPOD Touch

My computer shuts down every time I connect my Ipod Touch. I tried holdin down the On/Off button simultaneously with the Home button as suggested in the trouble shooting section, but the computer still shuts down. The battery is fully charged.

Hi. Actually, I have the same problem. I've had the same problem for about a month now. At first.. it took me a while to realize that my computer turned off because of my ipod being connected. Because at first, it took a couple of hours or so before it would turn off. But now, at for the past 3 weeks or so, it turns off instantly when I connect my ipod to my computer. I've been googling ways to solve this problem - but couldn't find anything, and that's where i ran into this topic.
I know the problem isn't my ipod and ipod usb wire. I connected it to another computer to recharge, and it didn't turn off, and there were no problems. But when i connect it to my computer to update it, it turns off instantly. It doesn't even have time to update.
My CPU has 4 USB ports, and I tried connecting it to each of them.. but the same thing happens. I don't think it's my USB ports either, because i've connected other things to the USB ports, and the computer didn't turn off like it did with ipod.
I'd really appreciate it if an answer could be received regarding this issue.
Thanks.

2nd Computer Requires a Manual Wireless Network Connection Setting on Powerup

2nd Computer Requires a Manual Wireless Network Connection Setting on Powerup
On power-up, my 2nd computer, a 3 yo IBM R51, requires that I open the Network Connections window, then set the Wireless Network Connection Properties under the Wireless Network Tab, clicking on "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings", before the automatic connection launches to the WRT150N v1.1 router signal.
I just bought the router and have the latest firmware.
My primary computer does not require the above settings change every time.
Is there a selection I can make so this is automatic on power-up or restart of my 2nd computer?

It was already set to automatic on both extended and standard tabs.
For a good measure, I set it to disable, applied, then reset it to automatic and applied again. Still does same thing.
I notice that if I double click on the small icon for the Intel ProWireless Network Card, I get a Wireless Connection Status Window.
This window has a Wireless Settings section where it seems to have a possibly obsolete "Current Location Profile" called ssnetwork (the name of my old network on my old D-Link router that I just changed out for the Linksys.
Anyway, the Network Name (SSID) field is now blank but when it first came up, it had the new name of the network I'm using.
Do you know how I access this "Current Location Profile" so I can edit it and possibly enter my new network name?
There is a button at the bottom of the screen called "Modify WLAN Settings" that I click but nothing launches when I do so.
Now that I manually did the connection setting, my network name appears in the "Current Location Profile."

My coumpter restarts every time I connect my iPod touch

It was working just fine yesterday.
But now every time I connect it my coumpter restarts before I connect to iTunes or anything.It is also picking it up as a camera.
I dont know what to do and I got it just yesterday.
Help?

I think you'll find an answer if you search this discussion forum for "ipod touch camera"; there seem to be plenty of other people with a similar issue. Try http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8581032&#8581032 or maybe http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8257681&#8257681

Wifi connection requires restart multiple times a day

6 with 8.2
Every day I must reboot to connect to the Internet with wifi. Depending on use, I might have to reboot 4 or more times. At minimum I do it every morning. I took it to the Apple Store but they suggested replacing the phone. I can't do that. I have apps with single use codes totaling $1500. Am I screwed or can this be fixed?
In addition, this phone has always sounded like I'm talking into a tin can.

Sublightnova DD-WRT has a generic and mini firmware for 150n. I upgraded mine using mini version(listed under broadcom on their website). It was very easy, it is no different than upgrading original linksys firmware. It looks like my connection drops have stopped after upgrade.

USB 760 requiring activation every time it connects on Mac

Hi I have a USB 760...have gone through this problem a few time but dont remember the solution....swaped out device, new device errors when inserted into computer, and then activation is required every time you want to connect....please help...solutions. I think there was something in network preference that we changed on the MAC but cant remember. Tech support isnt sure either!

So sorry to see that you're having trouble too, RobertM1569. Thanks for the details. Did this issue begin after the new hard drive install? If so, how long afterwards? Once you activate, does the device function normally or do you notice any issues that require you to end and start the connection again? I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the VZ Access Manager software. You can get it at this link: http://vzam.net/

Computer automatically restarting after installing iPOD

I installed my iPOD yesterday and since I did, my computer restarts after I close my browser windows. No matter what time I go on any program, after I am done doing whatever, internet, itunes, my documents, whatever, it always restarts. Whats going on? Also before I installed ipod, it would charge no problem. Now it only charges when updating files. Called tech support, no help at all. I have a 1.1 usb port. Please help. I am very disapointed. Also I have 30GB ipod.

i would recommend a usb 2 card they dont cost to much. this will more than likely be the cause of your problem

Computer Reboots and Freezes Upon iPod Connection

On a fairly frequent occasion, my computer will reboot and then the mouse will freeze up when I connect my iPod. I am running XP and connect through a USB port on the computer. The frustrating thing about this is that it doesn't occurr all the time. Somtimes everything works fine. When the computer does freeze, I have to shut it down, disconnect the USB from the iPod and try again. Usually it take a couple of trys to get things to work. Anyone have this problem and if so do you know of a fix. I am using the latest Nano software updates.
Velocity Micro Windows XP

It only happens when I connect the iPod to the USB port, but not everytime. Sometimes it works fine. Is there a difference between the order of connection. Should I first connect the iPod to the cable and then the cable to the USB port on the computer, or connect the USB end to the computer first and then iPod to the other end.

Bumblebeed requires restart every time to work properly

Hello all,
I am having an awkward issue with bumblebee. Often it refuses to run due to the following error (systemctl status bumblebeed):
bumblebeed.service - Bumblebee C Daemon

nov 13 07:51:47 StefaX bumblebeed[409]: [ 2211.424729] [ERROR]Could not load GPU driver
The odd thing is that if I restart bumblebee, it usually works perfectly. Then I exit the game and, if I start it again, bumblebeed fails again and I have to restart it again.
In dmesg I see:

So apparently it does its stuff properly by turning the discrete card on... it just cannot load the driver for some reason.
This is the output of journalctl -u bumblebeed:

It looks like that it does not even TRY to load the module when it fails, but I could be wrong I have no clue on where to look for further information.
I am using kernel 3.11.6-1-ARCH with official nvidia driver on an Asus X53S (there are two, I have the one with i7) with NVidia 610M.
Anybody has a hint?
Thanks in advance!
Stefano

OK--then you likely have a different graphics chip. But you could still have an intermittently malfunctioning graphics chip.
Have you tried running the extended version of the Apple Hardware test?
Do you get the same graphics artifact on an external display? If so, it would tend to imply a graphics chip problem. If you have good video on an external display, the problem is more likely to be with the internal display or its connections.
And if Apple's repair did not resolve the issue, you may have some recourse with them, depending on how long ago you had the repair done and how long their warranty is on it.
Even though this sounds like a hardware problem to me, it may also be worth reinstalling the OS, just to eliminate the possibility of a software cause.
Good luck!

"This Computer Requires Restart" Message

Lately my G4 12" has started giving me a message "you need to restart this computer". The only way to restart is to hold the power button down till shutoff. Everything else is unusable. When I restart using the power button the G4 starts back up and I get the message that the computer shut down unexpectedly and do I wish to ignore, or report the problem? Sometimes I get the restart message as I am restarting. It is very random and happens on battery, or plugged in. I can sometimes go a whole session and not see it, or it happens two or three times in a session.
Any ideas?? (I am a new mac user, former PC so I try to make everything as difficult as possible...)
Rick

Rick, welcome to Apple Discussions & the Mac community.
You are getting what's known as a kernel panic. Kernel panics are usually caused by a hardware problem – frequently RAM, a USB device or a Firewire device. When trying to troubleshoot problems, disconnect all external devices Do you experience the same problems?
You said you maxed out the RAM. Was this done recently & did the KPs start soon thereafter. OS X is "picky" about RAM quality. I suspect your added RAM may be the culprit. Look at this link: *Testing RAM* @ http://guides.macrumors.com/Testing_RAM Then download & use Memtest & Ramber.
Also look at these links.

Sync restarts every time I connect to wifi

every time I come home and my device connects to WiFi, Spotify begins the sync all over again - meaning it starts from 0 tracks synced and attempts to get all 1500 synced. If the app closes, crashes, or I leave home before it finishes I end up not having all my songs.. how can I stop it from beginning the sync from 0??

it happens the same to me, all time, it's really annoying, every time i get home or work it starts all over again and i don't have enough time to wait for it to sync or to be pressing any part of the screen to avoid the phone to go idle, so i leave without syncing and using my data plan, Hate this! x(

Computer/itunes locks up when ipod connected

Itunes locks up when I connect my ipod (20G).I hear the "ding, dong" when I connect it, but Itunes does not recognize that it is connected, it freezes and I have to reboot.It charges, and the "do not disconnect" sign is constantly running.I can not upload any new music I've purchased.I tried to restore, and now it is back to the factory setting with no music.My itunes works perfectly with my shuffle.My shuffle is listed under "devices", but not my ipod.
Anyone with a solution?

I am having the exact same problem. Th eone difference is that on occasion, iTunes downloads my playlists yet not the associated songs in the playlist.

I have a USB internet device and every time I connect it, the MacBook restarts. What do I do?

My MacBool restarts every time I connect my USB internet deivce to it. What do I do?

Or, get the proper drivers from wherever you got the device.

Restart computer every time I connect ipod

I'm having a problem with my 30GB 5G ipod. Every time I connect it to my MacBook running Leopard it tells me that I need to restart my computer. This is an ipod that I've been using for quite a while and I've never had this problem before (it just started happening within the last day). I should also mention that I have a 2G Touch and an iphone 3G and I'm not having this problem with either one of those devices. Any idea what could be causing this and how I can fix it?

IPod Mini not recognized by iTues or Computer since last time I connected.

I am creating this as a new post to get some data not a fix. If you find an answer start a new post.
Around Thanksgiving my iPod Mini that worked for over a year is no longer recognized by iTunes (Actually it shows as a bad file folder then dissapears in Windows Explorer).
I did everything the trouble shooting instructions suggest at least 5 times, except I can't restore because the computer does not recognize the iPod.
I was about to give up on iPods when... in a meeting at work I learned 3 out of 5 iPod users said the same thing happen since Thanksgiving and the others don’t think they have sync'ed yet.
Please just post a ME TOO! response if you have the same issue described above and (In this order):
1.You can not get the iPod into the Disk Mode.
2.You have reset your iPod while pluged into your computer.
3.You have double checked you connections and tried different USB ports on the same computer.
4.You restarted your computer and made sure you have the latest windows software updates installed.
5.Removed iTunes software and then reinstall latest iPod and iTunes software.
6.CAN NOT RESTORE your iPod because your computer does not recognize it.
If this describes your issue PLASE REPLY with ME TOO!
Hopefully the number of responses to this post will get someone’s attention at Apple.
