HELP!!!my pc n internet messes up when i plug in my ipod video.HELP!!

I have recently bought a new pc and it has been fine until today when i plugged in my video ipod with the new itunes and ipod software both installed and when i plug it in my internet connection stops and the pc becomes much slower and when I attempt to shut down the pc it will not do so.HELP Plz!!!

If this is a 2nd gen shuffle, are you using the USB docking cable that originally came with the shuffle (with a mini-dock)? The cable for the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle does not work with the 2nd gen shuffle because the connector is different.
If you are using the correct cable, make sure the laptop is connected to its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power). If there are other USB devices connected, you should try it with the shuffle as the only device. If it still does not work, confirm the USB port is working properly by connecting something else to the same port, preferably something similar like a USB flash drive or external drive.
If that doesn't help (and the USB port is confirmed to be working), you may have a faulty USB docking cable or there may be a hardware problem on the shuffle, such as bad headphones jack or faulty logic board.

When I plug in my iPod to sync, my itunes freezes...Help!

When I plug in my iPod to my Mac, my itunes freezes. Why is this happening? Help please!

That is from iTunes on the computer. It is asking you if yu want iTunes to be used for as the default player for music. Is suspect that you have a PC and that WIndwos Media Player is the default player.
You can say yes, close the message (it will appear again next time) or check the box that says do not remenid me again and then close the message.

When I plug in my iPod Classic, it is visible in My Computer, but iTunes gives error message PLEASE HELP!

When I plug in my iPod Classic, it is visible in My Computer, but iTunes gives an error message saying "The software required for this iPod is not installed corectly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the required software." It started completely randomly and now does it every time. I completely wiped out iTunes and reinstalled it via the intructions from this website, but it is still doing the same thing. Furthermore, when I go to Start, All Programs, the iTunes folder contains no data AND the desktop shortcup does nothing when clicked on. I have to go to Start, Run, and type in itunes.exe in order to run the program. Can anyone tell me what is going on?

Do one or more of the following
> Restart your computer
> Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes
> Reset iDevice (won't erase everything)
> Go to My Computer (windows xp) or Computer (windows vista & 7) and see if iDevice shows
> Restore the iDevice completely (will erase everything)
> Make sure the iTunes and/or iOS firmware is up-to-date.
The ones I cross over is the ones you don't have to do. This should help

Itunes freezes when I plug in my Ipod Touch - what should I do?

I know that this has been asked numerous times, but I haven't found a solution yet. The basics:
It was working fine yesterday, but when i plug in my ipod, itunes won't recognize it and it will freeze until I remove the ipod.
My 3rd gen ipod touch, when I try to access my music and videos (my photos are still there), just goes to a white screen.
After going to settings and about in my ipod, next to music and videos, it just says loading and won't do anything else.
I've reinstalled itunes and it has the latest update.
I've restarted my ipod many times.
I don't know what else to do. Everything else runs fine, the apps and internet connectivity is all great. Can someone please help me? This has been an absolutely terrible month and my ipod crashing is the icing on the cake from ****.

I have given up on my dell and bought an iMac 27"... Now how do I transfer my dell iTunes playlists from my dell to my iMac, as they are showing on the iMac when I plug in my iPod but it's not allowing to me to play them as they are shaded?

I have given up on my dell and bought an iMac 27"... Now how do I transfer my dell iTunes playlists from my dell to my iMac, as they are showing on the iMac when I plug in my iPod but it's not allowing to me to play them as they are shaded? I have also separately transferred all my music via my external drive from my dell to my iMac which is showing in iTunes but won't upload to my iPod... Just to confuse you even more my AppleTV which is linked to my log in email address and home sharing is showing and playing all the playlists I want to see on my iMac... Phew that was exhausting hope you understand and can help me:-)

You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.

HT1351 Why is it that when I plug in my ipod, it doesn't open a window that let's me click on my music

I accidentally deleted all of my old content. I went to the Apple store and they told that the system doesn't recognize that old of IDs. So, I have tried to redo music. I put some CD's on my computer and it won't let me sync the music on my ipod. When I plug in my ipod, it doesn't show a column on the left that show any playllists, or music or anything. I am not good with computers (duh) and need help!
Thanks!

In iTunes 11 you have the option to turn the Sidebar and the Status Bar on or off; they are off by default. To do this in the menus, go to:

I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library. However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.

I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library. However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.
I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over. Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over? I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another. Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.

I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Error 6: All of the steps in this article apply to this issue. Following Troubleshooting security software frequently resolves this error. There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your Registry.

My PC restarts when I plug in my iPod Nano.

Hi. Can anyone please help? Sometimes when I plug in my iPod Nano my computer re-boots. It doesn't always do a clean re-boot and I have to unplug the Nano and re-set the computer a couple of times. I have seen similar problems on this forum, and no, I am not using Aluria Spyware Eliminator. I use Norton Anti-virus.
Help!

Brian, another way of looking at this is: how many devices do you have connected to the USB port (the same one)? I've found through using external storage devices that one port can handle two devices. I had four going at once one time, but the same thing happened, only two would evenually connect.
There's a limit to connections per USB port, I'm just trying to see if you have too many connectins on one port. If so, obviously, if you have other USB ports available, plug the nano into it's own port and see if that "cures" the missing nano.

ITunes quits when I plug in my iPod Nano

Good day,
When I plug in my iPod nano, iTunes opens and starts to sync my iPod and then after about 6 secs iTunes closes unexpectedly. My iPod is no longer visible on my desktop even though it is still plug into my computer via a USB port.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and am still having the same problem.
I also tried to restore my iPod, but can't figure out how to do this without iTunes and I can't restore using iTunes because it keeps closing unexpectedly before I can complete the operation.
Any help would really be appreciated.
thank you,
Cedartable

Someone told me how to prevent my iPod from syncing when I plugged it into my iMac: go into Preferences in iTunes. Click on Devices. Tick the Prevent ipods ... from syncing automatically. Open iTunes. Plug in your ipod. Click on your iPod. Choose Restore.
I did a Restore and now my iPod is syncing just fine and iTunes is not closing unexpectedly. Yay.
