Computer turns off when I connect my ipod

When i connect my 4th generation ipod to my windows xp computer, the pc shuts down and when i disconnect the ipod the pc automatically turns back on again. I cant charge the ipod either. Does anyone know why this is happening and/or how i can solve this issue?
Also, for a few days before that problem began, when i connected the ipod to the PC it said the usb device was not recognised.
Thanks in advance

hmmmmm.
let's see if there's a blue screen lurking behind the display problem.
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
now plug the ipod in. do you get a blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
if the blue screen mentions a specific file, let us know what that is called too. (exact spelling, please.)
here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:

Why does computer turn off when battery 40%?

Why does computer turn off when battery around 40%? I have tried replacing the battery.

Replacing as in "removed, re-installed", or "bought a new one"?
This is my display from "Apple menu > About This Mac > More Info > Power"
"Normal" means no issues.
I will stop now in case you have actually put in a *new* battery ...

Computer turns off when importing CDs and converting files! HELP!

Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble importing music from CDs and converting files on my computer. The computer just turns off when I do these things and I'm really stuck as to why. Can anyone help?

I just started having the same problem. I was able to import songs from 5 cds with no problem, but when I tried a few more my mac started shutting down about halfway through the import of the song. It doesn't matter how many songs I choose to import, it happens on the first one everytime. Did you find a fix for this?

Computer turns off when mini display connector is plugged in

Computer turns off when I plug Ipod Touch in

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice. Each time I plug my Ipod Touch into my computer and open iTunes it resets the whole computer. It will keep on doing this until I take my ipod out of the usb port. I tied plugging it into my other PC and accessing the few songs I have on there and it worked fine.
I'm not sure what's going on, Wether its my Ipod or if its my computer (both pc's by the way).
Any help will be much appreciated.

You can start by turning off the caps lock.
You need to try a few things - reset your iPod and check on what is happening with the Apple Mobile Device Services on your computer.
If you don't know how to reset, click the Support tab at the top of the page and then click on Troubleshooting.
As to the AMDS problem, see this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567

Computer turns off with iPad connected

Every time I try to connect my iPad to my computer, the computers turns it off. Later it gives me a message "blue screen error". It "thinks it's a camera". The solutions Microsoft gives me like plug into the back of my computer, doesn't help. Why does it happens? How do I correct it?

Thanks Eric for trying to help me but my big problem is that when I plug my iPad into my computer, instantly my computer shuts off. My iPad is new and I was able to plug once for the first set up, but now, when I just came back from vacation and wants to transfer my pics from iPad to computer I'm not able to. It doesn't even give me an option to add on Facebook like I've seeing others do... My pictures are locked in my iPad.

My computer turning off when plugging in my iphone??? Why..

Can anybody help me out here? My iphone completely turns off my computer does anybody have that problem and if so how do you fix it?
R/S
Luis

Marine78,
Have you added any card to your computer, or replaced any hardware? What power supply do you have?
A PC may shut down when something draws additional power if either the USB port is not connected correctly, or if the power supply is already overloaded and trips its own circuit breaker.
If it is restarting, and not powering completely off, do you happen to have a Logitech Webcam installed or previously installed? If so go to Logitech's website and download the latest version of their software. Many Windows XP or Vista computers will automatically restart if they get a blue screen. You could be getting a blue screen because of a software conflict with another device. This is discussed in this knowledge base article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306048
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Computer shuts down when I connect my Ipod Touch to it.

Each time I go to connect my Ipod touch to my computer, I get the blue screen of death appear on my computer with a huge error message and then it shuts down, 'To protect itself'
I have tried to connect my Ipod Nano and thats fine, works no problems.
I have followed various advice notes from Apple with no joy of sorting the problem out.

I've been having the same issue with my 2nd gen itouch. My computer would crash and show a blue screen after I connected my itouch. My other IPODS would work fine. After unistalling/reinstalling several times, restoring my computer to an earlier date, and updating all usb drivers, I was still having my computer crash with my itouch. If you have a webcam, type in the following in the search support: What to do when Windows XP or Vista computer displays a blue screen error message when syncing the iPhone or iPod touch.
I solved my issue with solution one. My itouch is connecting fine without any crashes, for now. Hope this solves your issue.

Help!!! my computer turns off when i plug in my iphone

the second i plug in my iphone my computer displays a blue screen and says something about an error and it shut off that second. then when it restarts it says it again until i unplug the iphone and then windows says recovered from serious error or something like that any ideas the phone and the computer work perfectly

Do you have any other peripherals connected to the computer when you connect the iPhone. If so, disconnect them and try again.
Make sure you're connecting the USB cable correctly to the computer. I've seen a few instances where the USB pin on the computer was bent down and the USB cable was connected upside down.
This could also be caused by a damaged photo. If it's okay with you, you might try deleting the photos you've taken with your iPhone and then connect. If you don't want to lose the photos, you can email them to yourself.

WiFi turning off when Ethernet connected, and not coming back on

Since about last Tuesday (possibly when I updated to Safari 7.0.6), whenever I connect my MacBook Air (2011) to ethernet, my WiFi turns off. When I disconnect the ethernet, the WiFi does not turn back on, which makes this an annoying problem. If I try to manually turn it on while Ethernet is still connected, it does the scanning animation a few times, and then turns back off. Without the ethernet, once WiFi is turned back on, it works just fine. I'm using both the Apple USB to Ethernet adapter and a StarTech Thunderbolt hub with Gigabit ethernet, and this happens with both. Everything is up to date, and the only change that coincided with this new behavior is Safari, but I don't remember if I updated it before of after the problem appeared, and I may not have noticed the problem for a few days as I don't often use my mac away from a wired connection.
Is this a known problem? Any known solution? When I search for it, all I find are people looking for ways to make the WiFi automatically toggle opposite the Ethernet, no one complaining that it's happening on its own.

Why are you turning cellular data off when you get home? If you have wifi at home, it will connect to the phone. Then, once you leave home and get out of range of the wifi, cellular data should connect automatically, you wouldn't need to turn it back on. Turning wifi off is really not necessary unless you are using it as a battery saving feature. I leave my wifi turned on all the time, as well as cellular data, and my battery lasts for quite a long time.

Brand new MacBook Pro OS X Lion turns off when iPad connected

I have a brand new MacBook Pro and I connected mt iPad to it tonight. I have connected it once before sync it when I got the MacBook. Tonight every time I tried to connect it the MacBook would turn off (poof!) When it turned on, It came up with a USB disabled as something draining too much power message. The laptop is plugged into the mains directly at the wall socket.
I tried a different cable and it causes the message or shuts off the laptop. I used the same cable in my husband's iPhone and it is working.
Is it the MacBook or the iPad? It is a 1st gen still under warranty. What should I do?
All help will be appreciated. I reset the PRAM already.
Thanks

Can you run an Internet Speed Test? Reboot first and don't open any programs but Safari to perform this.
You can use any website, here's one listed below:
