Computer shuts down - durning IPOD upload/sync

I am going crazy. I've done the five R's and can't figure it out. During my sync of the ipod it begins to upload all the songs ... when it gets to the videos - after attempting to update the first movie - my computer simply shuts down. This is the only computer we use with Ipod - we had 20 TV clips on the ipod - now there all gone and the 10 additional ones won't load.
The computer just shuts down. Oh - and the computer works fine with the IPOD video is NOT connected.
HELP .....Jennifer

Do you have other USB devices that could be conflicting with your iPod?

  • Computer Shuts Down When iPod Is Connected

    Every time I plug my iPod into my PC, the computer shuts down within 30 seconds. I have updated iTunes and that didn't work. Has anyone had this problem and/or how can I fix it so I can load new music into my iPod?

    Hey KSPinStripe,
    First we'll gather more information about the computer. Disconnect all USB devices other than the keyboard an mouse. Open iTunes> Help> Run Diagnostics> iPod Diagnostics> Next, then copy and paste the results here.
    Plug the iPod directly into the computer(the front or back of the computer not a hub, keyboard, or moniter.) Does it still power off? Does the computer show any error messages?

  • Computer shut down with ipod Nano

    When I am moving songs (from purchased folder to the ipod) my computer shuts down. No BSoD or anything -- just a total shut down. I've updated all the ipod and itunes sofware.
    Also, when trying to register the ipods (there are 3 new ones in the house, and I'm having to do the same on all - and getting the same shut down results with all) I get all the way through the registration process, but then get an error message saying that it was unable to perform that function.
    I'm using an old USB cord from a previous ipod -- could that be causing some of the problems?

    Seriously? No one is having this issue? Hard to believe I'm the only one...
    I had hopes last night that it was back to working again - I was able to download about 5 tunes and one video, and got 3 songs transferred from the "purchased" folder to the actual ipod, when it shut down yet again. I think I'm on try #22.
    I found another post somewhere that talked about shutting down some of the start-up processes and such, which I did, but obviously to no avail.
    ANY HELP on this would really be greatly appreciated.

  • Computer shuts down when i try to sync my ipod

    Computer shuts down when i try to sync my ipod

    Just took out the book from the library "Sams Teach Yourself itunes 10 in 10 minutes" by Brad Miser.
    Basics for problems syncing:
    -restart computer
    -make sure device is not out if power
    -try a different usb port...BTW....I contaminated a usb port by someone spilling drink on the usb port end of my ipod cord...bad...
    -run apple's web-based device assistant
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495 (windows) or http://support.apple.com/kb/TB1591?viewlocale=en_US (mac)
    clink for the device...etc.
    this book looks great

  • Computer shuts down while updating Ipod?

    Hi
    I have a Video Ipod and an old laptop, my problem is that my computer shuts down 2 minutes after I open Itunes.
    My question is, whether the Ipod saves the little data that is transfered, when the transfer is abrubted by the computer shutting down?
    (If it saves it I can keep on updating tiny bits of my music libary, otherwise I will stop wasting my time restarting the upload proces over and over again)
    Thanks

  • 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. :/

    Doublechecking. In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

  • Help with ipod and computer shut downs...please.

    I've posted this in two other forums to no avail -- lots of views, but no help.
    My family now has 3 ipods (we only had 1 before) and yesterday I was trying to get them all set up - updates on the actual ipod, and I've updated itunes to 7.5. There are two issues here:
    1) I am not able to register ANY of the ipods. I get all the way through the process to the very end and then it gives me an error message (after clicking the "No thanks" at the bottom of the page that asks if you want to download the videos) saying that the service couldn't be found? Or something like that. Ok, fine...I can handle not being able to register them for the time being.
    2) I could keep itunes on all day long, as long as the Ipod is NOT CONNECTED. As soon as I connect the ipod (any of the 3 new ones - they all do the same thing) - ok, maybe not as soon as, but shortly thereafter - my entire computer shuts down. No error message, no blue screen of death, no warning - it just shuts down. It might be after I move a song from the "purchased" folder to the actual ipod. Or, as happened yesterday, it's right smack in the middle of a download (happened with both videos AND songs) and then of course, I have to try and purchase it again. I'm not even sure if it took my money already, but if it did, I'm SOL because I paid, but don't have the video/song since it never finished downloading.
    I've done everything that's been recommended to me - I disabled all my start up programs (except the windows ones) and that didn't resolve anything.
    My system is as follows:
    Windows XP Home Edition (all updated except for microsoft office 2003)
    Service Pack 2
    AMD Athalon 64 3000+
    1.81 GHz
    2GB RAM
    Not sure what else you need to know, to try and help me resolve this. Thanks for your time.

  • Computer shuts down when Update iPod

    When I am trying to update my iPod my computer shuts down. Any advice?

  • 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.

  • Computer shuts down when plugging in my Ipod classic

    Can anyone help me with this? My Ipod plays fine, I have used the 5 r's of truobleshooting, but my computer shuts down everytime I plug in my ipod to the USB. If I keep the Ipod plugged in and restart the comp., Itunes recognizes the Ipod but it says it is corrupt and asks me to restore. The restore progress bar comes up, but it never finishes. Please help.

  • Unknown error {-53} Computer shut down

    My computer shuts down while updating my ipod. Gives me an unknown error {-53} and sends my computer all wonky. I then have to reboot and start the mess all over again. What to do?

    Hello Peter,
    I already have the new BIOS you sent me.  The problem persists.  Toshiba has no Authorized Service for computers where I live (Brazil) as far as I can see on their site, which I can't understand since it is a global company.  So, I can not use my business computer now.  Apparently, I either have to ship it to the States (which will cost me more than the computer is worth, and I'm better off buying a new one of a brand that takes care of its customers globally), or I have to try and find someone here who thinks they might be able to discover the problem and fix it.  Any suggestions?
