Hardware Crash Error Warning When Connecting ipod to PC

I have just purchased a 5G ipod (60GB) & find when I try updating my itunes library to my ipod I keep getting hardware crash warnings. It stops for a bit & then starts again or just freezes up, the problem is all the stuff was getting layered up on the ipod in unusable bits so I had to restore the ipod using the updater. Because I am short of USB connections I have plugged the USB into a powered USB multitap connector. Does anyone know why these intermitant crashes are happening & how to stop them? Thanks.

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.

  • I have an unknown error (-81) when connecting iPod Photo and Nano

    This error keeps coming up when connecting iPods to iTunes and no photos can be downloaded.
    I have downloaded the all the latest iTune and iPod updates

    Hello penel2907,
    This could be due to a hardware issue. You may try using a different USB port on your computer.
    Check for hardware issues

    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • Error message when connecting Ipod

    Ok, so I just got the 5th generation Ipod 60GB. and when i first got it it worked fine, i was able to download my music onto the ipod. now all of the sudden i keep getting this error message, two. THe first one says that Itunes has had an error and will be forced to closed. The other one says "the instruction at "0x7c809784" referenced memory at "0x8818cdoe". The memory could not be "written"" And this happens everytime I connect the IPod and causes Itunes to close. I have tried reinstalling Itunes, I have reset my Ipod, I just don't know what else to do! Help Pleaaaaaaaaaaase! I would be forever grateful.

    This is OS X's way of saying your iPod's hard drive (or RAM drive in this case) is corrupt. Or at least it thinks it is. Is the iPod playing music? If so the first thing I'd try is rebooting the computer, disconnecting and connecting the iPod's cable, and try again.
    If you select initialize (and you'll have little choice if the above didn't work) your iPod will be erased. After this is finished, run the iPod restore/update software and you should be able to sync it again.

  • ERROR MESSAGE WHEN CONNECTING IPOD TO PC

    My ipod shuffle has been working fine for over one year. Yesterday I went to connect the ipod to the docking station on the PC to charge it and an error message stating "USB device not recognized" pops up. The Ipod doesn't open up when itunes is open and the computer does not recognize it at all. I tried different USB ports and the same problem occured. I reinstalled Itunes multiple times with no luck. I even tried the ipod reset utility program and nothing. PLEASE someone help, I am out of ideas and i dont know what to do, HELP!!

    If you proceed you will lose all of your music. You weren't using Time Machine on your laptop?

  • ITunes sends error message when connecting iPod touch

    I have an iPod touch 2nd generation, and I decided to reset it as it was having problems, and now it displays the connect to iTunes message like when I first purchased it. I connected it to iTunes like it wanted, but when I connect the iPod to iTunes, iTunes displays the following error message "iTunes could not connect to the iPod "iPod touch" because an unknown error occurred (0xE000001)". I am not an uninformed person on these matters and have tried everything I can think of i.e. updating iTunes, using a different dock connector etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Hi Maxwell,
    This is most likely a USB connection issue.
    Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to a high-speed USB2 port on the computer, using the cable that came with it.
    If the issue persists, try the general tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286

  • Windows - No Disk error message when connecting Ipod to computer

    I recently connected my Ipod to the Computer as I have done for the last year and I am now getting an error message reading: "Windows - No Disk". It then asks me to insert a disk. I cannot cancel out, continue or retry which are the three choices. I eventually have to Ctrl + Alt + Del to close out Itunes. Can anyone help? Thank You.

  • Error message when connecting ipod nano

    My ipod nano has been working just fine, then today when I connected it to my computer I got this message: "You have inserted a disk containing no volumes that Mac OSX can read. To continue with the disk inserted, click 'ignore'." Then you can click "initialize" "ignore" or "eject." The ipod does not show up on the desktop or in iTunes, and although it charges, it did not update. Resetting did nothing. I tried clicking ignore and eject - neither did anything. I was afraid to click initialize in case it did something terrible to my ipod! Any ideas?

  • ITunes displays -48 error message when syncing iPod Nano on Windows XP

    My girlfriend's mom's iPod Nano ran out of charge while jogging so she decided to charge it on her daughter's iHome. The next day she went to use her iPod but it was totally empty of all music and files. When she tried to sync it to iTunes, she received an eror message stating, "An unknown error has occurred (-48)" from iTunes and a Windows message stating that some iPod folder/file was corrupted.
    If anyone receives such a message, I was able to correct it by:
    -Plugging in your iPod to your PC
    -Ignore the error messages
    -Go to My Computer
    -Find your iPod's drive letter (ie. G:)
    -Right-click on it and select Properties
    -Go to Tools Tab >Error-checking and select Check Now
    You should be able to sync your iPod as before. I do not claim to be an expert so be warned that it may not work for you. Good luck!

    Hey ermides,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource provides information if you are receiving a -50 error message when syncing:
