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?

  • ITunes shutting down when iPod is connected...

    I am having trouble getting my installation of iTunes to recognize that there is an iPod connected. My 5th Gen iPod Video can be connected to Windows no problem, I am able to access it as a disk drive, etc, get all the drivers for Windows to install, etc...however, when I start iTunes, the problem excperiences an unexpected error and is needed to shut down immediately.
    iTunes is able to start, error free when my iPod is not connected via the USB port - only happens when an iPod is connected during iTunes' start up and when one is connected after iTunes has been started.
    Any ideas as to how this can be solved?

    With a call to a friend of the family who deals with Apple related troubleshooting, was able to Hard Format the iPod as a FAT32 disk drive and have iTunes recognize it in "recovery mode", allowing me to start iTunes and repair the disk.

  • ITunes shuts down when ipod is connected....

    Ever since I did the last update, everytime I connect my ipod to synch with itunes...itunes automatically shuts down!! I can use itunes just fine by itself and the same for the ipod. But once I connect them itunes just shuts down...no error message, nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this??

    This has started happening to me in the past week since i uploaded the latest Apple install on vista.
    Itunes will work on its own but soon as i plug in my new nano it shuts down within seconds.
    This is typical of Apple.....until hundred of complaints are registered they never get off their F~~~~ing arses and solve the problems

  • 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 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 when I click on the list or grid display button

    I've uninstalled an reinstalled 3 times and instead of the computer shutting down when I start itunes as it was doing, it only does it when I click on the display as a list, grid or cover display button. However it seems to unistall some parts at the same time as I can't open it all afterwards (error message says its not installed). This started to occur after a couple of weeks of non use and when I last used it I purchased songs from itunes. I now have current version but didn't when it first statred to happen. Help!!

    Okay ... we'd better have a closer look at the minidumps the PC has been producing to see if they can turn up any additional information on what we're dealling with here.
    Open "My Computer", and see if you can find a directory called C:\Windows\Minidump. (That's where minidumps usually go on a PC, so long as the Systemroot hasn't been set to some other folder.)
    If it's been collecting minidumps, there should be files in there with names like "Mini(number-numbers).dmp"
    (If you have "Hide filename extensions for known file types" enabled in Windows, the ".dmp" extension may not appear on the dump files. The numbers in the file name will be different for each minidump, if minidumps are present.)
    Once we've tracked down some minidumps, we can have a go at analysing them.
    1. Download and install the Windows debugging tools from here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx
    2. Go to Start, All Programs, Debugging Tools For Windows, Windbg
    Once you open Windbg, you will presented with a blank screen.
    3. Click on "File > Symbol File Path". Here you will enter the symbols
    path. Symbols are needed to effectively debug.
    The path will be:
    SRVc:symbolshttp://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
    4. Enter in this path and click OK. Now, go to "File > Save Workspace"
    so that your symbols path is saved for future use.
    5. Go to "File > Open Crash Dump" and load the file.
    (An "Open Crash Dump" screen will appear ... doubleclick "My Computer", doubleclick "Local Disk", doubleclick "Windows", doubleclick "Minidump", and doubleclick on one of the minidumps in there.)
    You will/should get a message to save base workspace information. Choose no.
    Now you will get a debugging screen. It takes a little bit to run it,
    as the symbols have to be downloaded as they are needed.
    After the "bugcheck analysis" part of the screen comes up, look for the component that seems to be causing the crash. (It'll say "Probably caused by" ...)
    Let us know the precise name of the component. (Include any file name extensions like .dll or .sys.)
    If you can, have a look at several of your crash dumps. Are all the crashes being caused by the same component? If not, could you let us know the names of the various components being cited in the various crash dumps?

  • Computer shuts down when I open itunes Store

    Computer shuts down when I open itunes Store. I don't know why or how to fix it.. It used to work, now it doesn't. I haven't done anything differently. I tried to 'repair' it in the add/delete programs.

    Some more info.................I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime.  No fix.   I can access the store on my other desktop computer which I also updtated to the newest version, so I think it's some setting in my laptop.   As I said, it works great until I click on "iTunes Store" then it shuts the whole program down.

  • Computer shuts down when Droid connected

    s5710f Simline pc  running windows 7
    Everytime I try to connect my new Verizon Droid Incredible 2, the computer shuts down within a few seconds.  HP tech support said I need to get Droid software to load onto the computer, but no one at Verizon has ever heard of this happening.

    I'm not sure what is happening, but you could try stopping and restarting the following services and see if that helps at all.
    Apple Mobile Device
    IPod Service
    To access services, right click on My Computer and select "Manage". When the Computer Management window opens, doublel click on Services and Applications and then double click on services.
    Good Luck...
    Just an additional thought. Are you connecting through a USB hub or directly to the PC. If you are using a hub, try connecting directly to the PC. And also, if you are directly connected to the PC, try another USB port if you have one available.

  • Computer shuts down when Update iPod

  • Computer shuts down when connect FW 400 device

    I have a PowerMac G4 dual 1,25 FW800, 1Gb ram and OS 10.4.3.
    When I connect a Mcally Firewire 400 hub the computer shuts down immediately.
    It does the same thing when I connect a Delkin FW Compact Flash card reader.
    I tried different cables on both FW ports.
    The devices work well on Powerbook.
    Also, I succesfully connect a printer and a LaCie HD to the FW ports of the PowerMac.
    Can anyone suggest what the problem might be?
    Thank you,
    Francesco Tonell

    Thanks Ryan
    Attached to the PowerMac I have 2 LaCie 500Gb FW800 each with thier power supply + 1 LaCie Mobile 80Gb FW400 without any power supply + and Espon R2400 FW400.
    If I conncet my FW400 card reader with any of the two FW400 ports the PowerMac shuts down immediately.
    But I found a small workaround. If I connect the FW400 card reader to my LaCie 80Gb and then the LaCie 80Gb to the PowerMac it works fine.

  • 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?
