Connecting IPod to computer causes computer to shut off

This has never happened before. I plugged my IPod into the same USB port I always do for the first time since downloading the latest ITunes update and my computer shut off. Anything else I plug into the USB port works fine, it is only a problem with my IPod. I can use one of my other USB ports so I guess this isn't urgent, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen or has any ideas/advice? Thanks!

Exact same thing is happening to me now after downloading the new iTunes 9 version. Did you ever find a solution?

    If it still won't do anything, make an appointment with Apple and be prepared to get a refurbished phone at out of warranty prices.

    You haven't provided any valuable data, it could have been a power problem where the computer is plugged in. Personally I use a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) when I plug in my computer for just that reason.
    BTW when posting please complete your profile so we know what kind of iMac you have and the version of OS X. Also what were you doing when the computer shut down.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I'm trying to connect ipod touch to the computer

    I'm trying to connect my daughters ipod touch to the computer it makes all the beeping noises and is charging but isn't found on iTunes so I can't add anything to it or sync it. It was last synced in January this year. My other daughters iPod touch connects fine.
    What has happened and how can I connect it???????

    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    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
    - Then do the other actions of:

    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • When connecting ipod to PC USB, computer restarts

    When I connect my ipod to USB immediately following taking it off my AC adapter, it causes my computer (PC, XP) to restart. Today I updated to Itunes 5. What's up with that?

    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.

  • My iPod Touch attempts to reboot, but shuts-off, creating a repetitive process...?

    About a week ago, I was browsing on safari on my 4th generation ipod touch and all of a sudden, the screen froze for a couple of seconds and soon the screen went complete black (you can tell the ipod was still on) and then the apple sign comes up as if my ipod is rebooting itself, but it takes much longer than usual, and then there's a quick flash of whitelight from the screen and immediately shuts off, creating a very repetitive process. About two days later without charging my ipod, so the battery can completely die therefore everything is shut down and soon after, I plug it in to my computer, in hopes that this will increase my chances of my hard earned 64gb ipod touch returns back to normal. In which, did not resolve anything. Itunes won't recognize my ipod, in which will not allow me to restore my ipod back and ever since then, I've had my ipod touch charging from my iphone charger for the past two days, and the process of my ipod rebooting and shuting off is very annoying and frustrating. I'm sadly confident that it's broken, unless I can be informed of some heplful techniques fixing it or informed of some places that can fix mechanical failures like this. Thank You.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Ipod turns on, Shows Apple logo, Shuts off

    My friend took my ipod out with her to jog, came back and all it does now is turn on, show the apple logo, turn off and repeat till the battery is dead. Anyone got any ideas? I have tried reseting it but it just shuts off untill i take my fingers of the buttons and then it goes back to turning off and on.

    See if you can force it into disk mode...

    If that works, then see if you can hook it up to your computer and have it show up in iTunes.

  • My 4th generation iPod shows the apple sign, then shuts off..?

    Yesterday my iPod crashed, so I restarted it a few times. When I restarted it for the 3rd time, I went to turn it back on and it showed the apple sign, then started shutting down. It's done this twice, and I can't turn it back on.... It just keeps shutting off. I need help, please!

  • Ipod Video (30 gig) will not shut off

    Hello,
    I have a problem turning off the Ipod. I press and hold the play/pause button. sometimes for 30 sec and nothing happens. I have done the five steps listed on the help page twice (reset etc...). Has anyone had this happen? How to fix?

    I had this happen with mine. It won't shut off when the hard drive is going, and occasionally (for whatever reason) it takes a while before the drive stops. You might want to select a smaller song or something, or try pausing it. Honestly, I didn't find much of a solution other than waiting for the drive to stop.
