Does ipod automatically start charging every time hook up to pc?

Does the ipod start charging every time I hook it up to a pc? Can I shut this off in any way?
If I'm doing a battery calibration and completely draining the battery I don't want it to start charging again just because I need to upload some songs which might cause the ipod to stay plugged in for 5-10min.
Thank you.
Dorian

An iPod will begin to charge anytime you connect it to a powered USB port. Here are a few pages with information on iPod batteries:

Why does ptpcamera now start up every time I plug in my iPhone to charge off my computer?

Don't have iPhoto set to auto launch.
And ptpcamera seems to consume a very large amount of CPU capacity - you can hear the fans in my macbook pro come on, bloody ****.
The ptpcamera process does not end either, blood ****.
Seems like this thing started with the last camera RAW update that rolled out.
With that and issues with the recent Java update, I just want to grouse about how sloppy things now seem with the Apple updates.

It is opening up your computer generally because there are photos in the camera roll to prompt you to import them to the computer as you would a digital camera.
To correct the issue with the iPhone not being recognized in iTunes, see this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

Same thing happens when i click restart.
No difference when i run it in Safe mode. And it won't let me create a new profile either. Is there anyway else i can extract my bookmarks? This is driving me crazy!

Did the crash reporter send any crash reports? 
You can see the crash reports in this folder:
"C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports"
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad
See also [[Firefox crashes when you open it]]
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. 
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]] 
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" 
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files) 
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox 
If that still causes the same problem then do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

How can I STOP iTunes from automatically trying to add podcasts to my iPod when I plug it in and sync it, so I can manage the files? I have already unchecked "Sync Podcasts" and "Automatically include,"yet EVERY time I sync it,it still transfers podcasts as the last step, and at other times randomly, when trying to just add some MP3's to a playlist, for example. I can't seem to find any other option to uncheck, and can't find an answer from my so-far internet searching.

erict, you blew me away with that suggestion! It was something so simple I couldnt believe I hadnt thought of it! But in the end it didn't work, which I was really surprised about. On Windows anytime anything was moved itunes was hoplessly lost, but on this mac it still kept up with everything. I tried renaming folders, moving folders, and even renaming moved folders but it still kept trying to import.
I even went as far as deleting EVERYTHING i had moved to the Mac, which didnt really work. It still kept trying to import what wasnt there which made it continue to freeze up. However, after doing this it, the freezing was not nearly as bad. It gave me enough of a break to cancel it through the itunes dialog box at the top of the app. So in the end, thats all I really needed to do, only before I had deleted everything the freezing would not allow me to do it.
So now Im reimporting everything again, only slowly, and only a few Artists at a time.

Hello. I am receiving "error codes" when trying to dowload songs. It charges me but the songs never download and I have restarted itunes and it does not automatically start downloading as instructed online. Help?

Hello. I am receiving "error codes" when trying to dowload songs. It charges me but the songs never download and I have restarted itunes and it does not automatically start downloading as instructed online. Help?

I don't know exactly what they said b/c they are nolonger on my screen. It said something to the effect of "incomplete dowload, there was an eror during the dowload of *Song*".
The songs purchased were showing in my purchased list with an "exclamation point" by them, which I believe indicates the download was incomplete. I restarted iTunes and the songs are no longer on my "Purchased list".
I was still charged after restarting iTunes

Is it on your Log-In items?
Do you have a disk or device formatted like a camera card attched to your computer - say with a FAT format?

ADFS 2.0 service does not automatically start after reboot

Hello,
We have two ADFS 2.0 servers in a farm. Any time these servers reboot, the ADFS service does not automatically start, even though the service is set to auto start. If I manually start the service it starts within 10 seconds.
The error in the logs show:
A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the AD FS 2.0 Windows Service service to connect.
The AD FS 2.0 Windows Service service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
But after the reboot is completed, I can manually start the service with no problems. Again, this ONLY happens on restart. I've searched the forums and found potential solutions for people who have consistent issues with starting ADFS every time.
Any ideas?

UPDATE - I built a 3rd ADFS server and was unable to reproduce the problem, until...
I went in to the service properties of ADFS and saw that even though I specified a Log On As account during the ADFS wizard, it changed itself back to "Network Service". I re-entered our ADFS service account username and password, it was
accepted, and I rebooted. On the next reboot, the service did not start automatically (with the same errors as the other ADFS servers), but I was able to manually start it.
I then went to the original ADFS server having the problem, switched it to use "Network Service", rebooted, and the service started up properly on reboot. I then changed it back to the named domain service account, and the issue came right
back. There are no other errors in the System Log indicating a problem with anything else.
So my guess is that something is happening to prevent the service from starting with the named Domain account on server reboot. But what?

Can iPod automatically start?

Can the iPod automatically start up and start playing when it is plugged into AC? I had a Creative Nomad that could do that. I had it in my car hooked up to the cigarette lighter. When I started the car and the player detected incoming power, it would automatically start up and start playing. Was wondering if the iPod could do the same?

Tim,
I don't think the iPod has the ability to do this. It wakes up when power is connected, but I don't believe that you can get it to start playing by itself when powered.
You'll probably find that the only way to get it to self-play is by using the Alarm function...?
Kind regards,
Gopha.

Illustrator cc crashes moments after starting up every time on my windows 8.1 machine.

Illustrator cc crashes moments after starting up every time on my windows 8.1 machine. There are no error messages. I have reinstalled illustrator, reinstalled creative cloud, and updated my video drivers as well as the wacom drivers. I have also disconnected the internet, and illustrator still does not change from crashing roughly three seconds after loading the main program window.

When you uninstalled did you check the box to replace the Preferences? If you didn't, try that and you might try the Cleaner tool as well.

Why does the aol desktop crash every time I try to use it

Why does the aol desktop crash every time I try to use it and how can I fix the problem.

I am having exactly the same problem with my iPhone 4 (running 6.0.1 (10A523)). I have rebooted several times since this started occurring but it doesn't change the behavior. It was also reporting a "storage almost full" error quite often when I still have 1GB - 3GB of free space. As a troubleshooting exercise I removed all my music so there is now 20.1GB free. The storage warning no longer appears but the same issue still persists with reminders. Help, please!

OmniOutliner automatically starts on every re-boot

Would anyone know how to stop OmniOutliner from automatically loading every time my MacBook Pro is re-booted. It's version 3.5 and not something that I specifically downloaded. The license says "Macintosh Software Bundle" so I am assuming that the App it is part of Leopard.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
Chris

Cheers Niel. The offending entry was something to do with CameraStrings (??????) and that was the one that was starting OmniOutliner. I'd say it was related to the recent installation of printer drivers for my Epson R390 printer. I thought that it was to do with that but could not find the link. Also managed to get rid of another application that was starting up every time I rebooted but wasn't such a nuisance.
Thanks heaps.

On my PC, in I-Tunes, the iPod (touch) button disappears every time I try to sync or update. Everything has been rebooted, but no changes. Any ideas on how to sync to the IPod? Better yet, how to keep the ipod button on screen when itunes is open and the ipod is connected?

- Have you tried another USB port and cable?
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

My ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop. The ipod touch starts charging then stops. This keeps continuing. Please help.

my ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop or itunes. Its not being shown on my computer and its not shown as 'unspecified' in the 'devices window'. The ipod touch starts charging then stops this keeps continuing like a ongoing circle. Please help.
I have tried on my family members laptop and its seems to be picking up. So the ipod or the usb wire is not the issue.
I have tried everything from reinstalling itunes and updating windows.
I have tried the diagnostics test and its still says the ipod cannot be found.

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:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
