Freezing when plugging into USB port

I am so angry at my iPod right now.. The past three days I have tried to plug into my USB port and upload songs and each time I plug in, it freezes up.. I am new to the iPod world as of Christmas and am not sure if there is something I am doing wrong... It just started a few days ago.. I am so upset because I have to wait until the battery dies to turn it back on.. Someone please help!:)

IPnone 4s not recognized by Envy dv7-7333cl rnning Windows 8 when plugged into usb port

Laptop does not recognize iPhone 4s when plugged into any of the 4 usb ports. All usb drivers are up to date. All Win 8 and HP udates have been installed and are current. Ports do recognize memory sticks so seem to be working. Is there a special driver needed for iPhone?

Hey texasbootz,
I'll have to get you to answer a few questions to understand what is going on exactly:
When the iPhone is plugged into the notebook, does it charge?
When the iPhone is plugged into the notebook, does it show up in device manager?
Is iTunes installed?
If it is not charged when plugged in, it is possible that the cable you are using isn't functioning properly, and you may need a replacement. Or, the iPhone itself is having some issues.
In any case, since other devices are working in all of your USB ports, it is possible that its either a software issue (with the iPhone's drivers) or an issue with the iPhone case. You'll have to contact Apple for support on either of those issues. I'd suggest trying to re/install iTunes, see if that fixes it, then to contact Apple.
Hope this helps!

Error when plugging into USB Port--Insufficient Power

Hello...wondering if I can get some advice/assistance.
On my G4, when I plug in my 5th Gen IPod via Firewire, I get the "not supported," which I'm okay with. But when I plug into a USB Port, I get "insufficient power" at ports from the keyboard and my hub (which even has its own electrical supply). Must I plug directly into the G4 Tower?
Post here, or even better, pls email me at [email protected]
Thanks,
Jim Angelo

My ipod is absolutely dead when plugged into usb connection or when trying to switch on with on/off button

Ipod is dead when plugged into usb port or when using on/off switch
absolutely no display

Press and hold the power on button and the circle button on the front for about 10-15 seconds - If nothing try to plug in to the usb at the rear of the PC for more power and then try again.
It will work.

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive?

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive? Apple support tech tried to tell me it wasn't possible and that the only NAS Time Machine could back up to is the Time Capsule, but I'm not buying it. I know it's doable, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which External HDDs will work and which ones won't. If not My Book for Mac, is there an External HDD that will work? (Running OS X 10.9.1 - Mavericks, btw...)

Given the nature of backups, my recommendation has always been to use a strategy that is unequivocally supported by Apple. As you already determined Apple Support unequivocally informed you that your proposal will not work, unless your router is an Apple AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.
The exhaustive list of devices supported by Time Machine amounts to the following:
AirPort Time Capsule's built-in hard disk (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to a Time Capsule (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to an AirPort Extreme (current model only)
A hard disk drive directly connected to your Mac
That is all.
Use whatever backup device you want, but you should be aware that this site is full of reports of misery from hapless individuals who had been using NAS devices for Time Machine backups, only to find that they were incomplete, corrupted, or useless when they were required. Apple won't care if you lose your data while using a Time Machine configuration specifically excluded from their technical support documents.

System hangs when any device is plugged into usb port

Proccessor: AMD 64 3200+
Motherboard: MSI RS480M2
OS: Windows XP (Home Version)
Primary Hard Drive: Maxtor 6L160M0
Secondary Hard Drive (Data Sorage): WDC WD400BB-00HEA0
Most of the posts on this site are over my head so keep responses simple.
I upgraded this computer myself about 3 months ago with the above listed new proccessor and motherboard. Everything had been working fine until a couple of days ago the computer hung while surfing the internet. Reboot attempt was unsuccessfull. Windows would hang everytime while loading. My primary hard drive was about 4 years old and wanting to upgrade to a larger drive anyway I installed the above listed Maxtor hard drive yesterday thinking it might solve the problem. It looked like it was solving the problem until I started plugging in USB devices. If I plug in my Epson USB printer or my USB jump drive, the computer hangs immediately. If I plug in my Microsoft Joystick or CH rudder pedals, it gives me a message that an unknown device is plugged in and that the device has failed. It appears the that hard drive replacement actually did nothing to change the problem. I had not thought to unplug USB devices as a solution to the problem initially. Once I plug in my printer or jump drive the computer is doing exactly what it was doing before.
I am pretty convinced there has been a failure on the motherboard. To have everything working fine for 3 months and suddenly without any software changes it stops working. Then, after reloading all the software again to still have the same exact problem. I think that pretty much eliminates software as an issue and it also eliminates the hard drive as a problem.
I did have a problem finding my motherboard's CD but I downloaded the system drivers from the MSI website plus I installed Live Update 3 and installed everything it recommended including a new BIOS. I also loaded the SATA RAID files from the floppy which I did have here (even though I am not using the SATA RAID feature). I feel confident I got everything installed now and still not working. Everything else works perfectly as long as I do not plug anything into USB ports.

I have to say that using this forum is not very intuitive for me. It's hard to even figure out how to post a message.
Anyway, we can close this out. I took my computer in and had a diagnosis run on it. It turns out the USB portion of the motherboard has failed and they are replacing it now.
To answer the question though. I had removed both the old hard drives when I initially installed the new MAXTOR and still had the problem and I did make sure they were jumpered as slaves before I connected them back up later.
Thanks for you help.

IPod nano freezing when plugged into Belkin Tunecast

Everything has been working fine with my ipod nano 3rd generation until recently. I tried to plug it into the tunecast in my car and the ipod froze. I've tried resetting it and this still happens. A different ipod has been working fine with the tunecast which makes me think there is nothing wrong with the belkin but the ipod is fine even when plugged into the computer which makes me wonder which one is not working properly. Any ideas????

I am having this exact same issue with my wife's 3g, 8GB nano and her Monster iCarPlay. the Monster unit and the nano worked fine together for a week or two but now the nano locks up when connected to it. You disconnect the nano and it goes back to working fine. I have reset the nano while both connected and not connected to the Monster and have done a restore in iTunes and I am still having the same issue. I called support and they basically told me to buy a new car adapter. I don't believe this is a good solution since the Monster worked with the nano for a couple of weeks when we first got it and the Monster still works fine with both my wife's and my old ipod mini's. Any suggestions?

My computer freezes when plugging into my usb port

I just got and ipod shuffle when i plug it into my usb port a few seconds later my computer freezes and i have to restart

Try a different USB port. I had that issue with my shuffle once and using another USB port resolved it. Here is a great iPod Shuffle Support page. Keep it handy for anytime there is an issue or question regarding your shuffle. It's very thorough. http://www.apple.com/support/ipodshuffle/
Good Luck,

Intel iMac won't boot up when iPod is plugged into USB port.

I have a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAM and 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Purchased new from Apple in January 2007. Running Mac OS X 10.4.10. Purchased a new 80 GB video iPod (v1.2.1) from Best Buy in June. Computer stopped rebooting soon after. I began by deleting preferences of various kinds with no luck. I've reset the P RAM, the System Power Manager or whatever ya call it. I've even done an Archive Install of the Mac OS. Yet every time I try an' reboot with the iPod plugged into the USB port I get the start-up chime then the gray screen and that's it. No gray Apple, no log-in window. I shut it down, unplug the iPod and it starts right up. Please, I'm beggin' ya. I don't want to have to wipe the hard drive and start from scratch. Any suggestions?
Thanks....

ABStrange -- the apple tech believes that the iMAC is trying to boot from the iPOD which is causing the hanging. Interestingly, if you wipe the iPOD clean, it will work flawlessly. The minute you put one song back on the iPOD it will hang again. Hopefully on Monday or Tuesday I'll hear something back. I'll let you know what I find out. I did mention this thread on the forum to the apple tech. Hopefully they take this seriously. Maybe it is a serious enough flaw with our iPODs that will warrant a replacement?
BTW: I upgraded to Leopard yesterday and the problem still exists. Was kind of curious to see if that had any effect.

2009 17" Macbook freezes when plugged into Apple 24" LED Display

In the last few weeks I have noticed that when I plug my 17" UBMP into my 24" Apple display, the computer freezes and the 24" display remains dark.
The computer freeze shows no spinning ball, there is curser movement but nothing will work/open and I am forced to hold the power button until the machine restarts. When it does the display and machine work ok, unless I disconnect and re-connect the display.
This seems to happen 1 out of 5 times. I have a logitech wave cordless set with a usb stick/receiver in the display, however this does not seem to be the issue as it does not freeze sometimes with the stick connected.
anybody else see this issue?

Hi, Ray. Disconnect the Logitech USB dongle from the display, and try connecting and using the display with only your MBP's built-in mouse and trackpad in use. If you have no trouble with that simplified setup, try plugging the Logitech dongle directly into one of your MBP's USB ports, instead of into the display. Test again. Post back with results.
It seems very likely to me that the Logitech devices are somehow involved in the problem, even though it doesn't arise every time you connect the external display with the Logitech dongle connected to it.

IMac does not recognize digital video camera plugged into USB port

Hi Everyone,
I received a Kodak Zi8 digital video camera as a gift recently. I was told it was compatible with macs. When I plug the camera into the USB port of the mac it doesn't recognize that it is there. I read on one discussion board to turn the camera on and off if necessary. I have done so and it still doesn't recognize it. Does anyone have a solution they could recommend? Thanks in advance.

With the Zi8, you have to manually import the video into iMovie.
Launch iMovie. Go to File - Import Movies. Find your camera volume (it may be called KODAK or NONAME), navigate into the folder structure, find the DCIM folder and import the .mov files you find there.

Error message when plugging in usb port?

When plugging in the new ipod nano into my computer I get this message:
Power Surge on Hub Port:
A usb device has malfunctioned and exceeded the poewr limits of its hub port. You should disconnect the device.
I just bought this i-pod nano yesterday. What do I do?

What do I do?
Plug the iPod directly into the computer's usb port instead of the hub. Or, use a power hub if the one you have is not powered by ac.

USB 3 hard drive undetected (anywhere) only works if plugged into USB port on apple Keyboard

I have the 2013 Mac Pro: OSX 10.10.2, 512GB SSD, Quad Xeon, Dual D500's.
I am using a (powered by adapter) toshiba 2TB external USB3 HDD
Until last week the hard drive worked fine under OSX, however since then it is completely undetected if plugged into and of the 4 USB ports on the Mac Pro
However if I plug it into one of the two USB ports on my apple wired keyboard (the one with num pad) it it detected and mounts no problem.
Normally only mice work in the keyboard USB ports (if I plug in a USB stick it says something along the lines of not enough power). There is nothing wrong with the hard drive, I've tested it on other computers, also the same thing happens with a 2.5" hdd I have on a SATA to USB adapter. (I do not know if this is USB 2 or 3, but it only functions plugged into the keyboard, and it doesn't have external power, everything is drawn through USB)
Any solutions?
I'm not looking for "ignore the issue and keep plugging it into the keyboard" as I've been told elsewhere, that's not a solution. I'd prefer to sometimes use a wireless keyboard, and therefore do not wish to plug in an additional wired keyboard just to use my hard drives.

Try resetting the SMC and NVRAM

When now plugged directly into the Mac what shows in System Report under USB?
Does anything show in Disk Utility?
