HT1477 When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display turns off and working freezes. Please help me.

When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display goes off and working freezes. Please help me.

The computer freezes?  There may be something wrong with the USB port.  If the laptop has more than one port, does this happen on any port?  If you are disconnecting the shuffle cable from the computer, does it make any difference if you disconnect the shuffle at the other end of the cable first, then disconnect the cable from computer?  Or if you currently disconnect the shuffle from cable first, try it the other way.
You may be able to work around this problem, if you get a self-powered USB hub.  Something like this one

There are many choices, but be sure to get one that has its own power supply.  You can leave the shuffle cable connected to the hub, and connect the shuffle to the hub, instead of directly to the computer.  This may provide a "buffer" for whatever is causing your laptop to shut off when the shuffle is disconnected.  Since the hub has its own power supply, it will not rely on the computer for power to re-charge the battery.

    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • My mac wont turn on. It is charging and the on light is on when the computer is shut but once I open it the light turns off and the screen is black.  I turn it off and then on again and the start up noise goes but it is still black - Help!?

    Claire, please post your machine specs as requested. There are some variants of the MBP with specific hardware issues. Example: the older "silver key" MBPs with 2.2Ghz and faster processors can have a defective video chipset that produces a black screen or distorted video. That problem is covered under an Apple program that will fix this at no cost to you if you computer is that model.
    Do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info..." button. That launches System Profiler for you. The first screen looks like this:
    The second line, "Model Identifier" (or "Machine Model" if you are running OS10.4) precisely identifies your MBP variant. Post that, and include it in your equipment info in your profile for future posts. That means people don't have to ask, and you get faster help that is targeted to your specific model. Saves everybody a bunch of keystrokes and you get better advice.

    When I'm travelling I import photos onto my laptop's external hard drive and work on the images using virtual copies to develop them. When I get home, I want to import all the photos together with the developed virtual copies fromt the laptop's external HD into LR5 on my PC desktop. But if I use the import button in LR I only get the original photo, not the developed copies. What am I doing wrong?

    Since your current editing workflow is based around Virtual Copies there are no actual files containing the edit data. Therefore, you'll need to use the 'Import from another catalog' option ( see File menu).

  • Display turns off and keyboard and sound disabled when bumped?

    I have a Powerbook G4 12". My computer works great when it is running, but if i bump it from the bottom, my screen turns off, sound and keyboard stop working as well, but can still hear the fan running. I hold the power button until it shuts down, and then restart it and everything is fine, until i bump it again.
    Another problem that might be related is that sometimes when i open up my computer to wake is from sleep mode, the computer turns on, but the screen and all functions do not work. An this is even if i do not bump it.
    Thanks for any help!
    Michael

    My G4 Power had no display so I plugged it into an external monitor. This gave me a display but then I found the keyboard and trackpad were not working. I used an external keyboard and USB mouse to start System Profiler. This told me that the Powerbook was operating in clamshell mode. The most likely reason is the reed switch that detects when the display is closed is jammed. It is no easy task to replace this switch: http://tinyurl.com/4uourh
    I would be interested in any less subtle ways to fix the problem (eg waving a strong magnet near it)?

  • Help!  I am trying to get at my iPod (2nd Gen) from a new computer.  I have iTunes loaded but the Setup Assistant doesn't come up to allow me to access my iPod Shuffle.  When first using iPod, the Setup Assistant comes up but not 2nd setup?? Thx.

  • IPod Nano 2nd Gen Frozen...Won't turn off or do anything at all

    My husbands works just find. It was recognized and sync'd perfectly. I plugged mine in just the same; it responded, but said it was corrupted and I can't do a thing with it. It is completely frozen. Won't come up on computer; won't restore; just won't do anything when my husbands is perfect (bought at same time at same place). HELP!

    Try first resetting the iPod by moving the hold switch on the top back and forth a few times (make sure no orange is showing), and then hold in the center button and menu button together for about 20 seconds. An Apple logo should appear.
    If no Apple logo appears, let the iPod's battery drain by just letting it sit on a table, or something. After it is dead, plug it back in to charge, and it should work again.

  • After dropping my IPod touch gen 5 down the stairs accidentally the touch screen became unresponsive. please help me fix it without costing too much.

    I want an inexpensive way to fix my iPod as I cannot afford another one. please help me..

    If you are good with electronics, as in taking things apart and putting them back together, I would buy a used touch screen off of eBay or a trustworthy site, then take the front off of the iTouch, replace the screen and put the front back on. If you are not good with electronics, I would either take it to a repair shop or send me an email with video/ image of the damage at [email protected]

  • HT201401 there is no sound when I play a video or music also it s not turning off.It s restarting.please help me.

    Hi, before 3 months when I start to  play any video or music to listen, I could not hear any sound. if I want to play video as handsfree mode it s not possible to hear any sound other problem is it s not turning off. When you want to turning off it s restarting...please help me.

    Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
    See:iPod plays video but not audio.
    You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
    See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

  • Ipod keeps playing after it has been paused, turned off and locked

    I have this problem with my 30 gb ipod: I play a song and pause the ipod, i turn it off and then lock it. go to sleep. The next day i looked at the ipod and it is playing songs. This depletes the battery because it has been playing all night. It happens also after I finish playing a song completely (it is not paused). I turn it off and lock it. The next day it shows playing songs.
    Please help. is there a setting I have to change? Is this a bug? What should I do?
    Rgds,
    Albert

    You probably have an alarm set which turns on the ipod and starts it playing.
    Go to main menu of iPod, EXTRAS -> Clock -> go into any of the clocks shown -> Alarm Clock and then see if it is ON.

    Try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Ipod 2nd gen from MAC to Windows7 reformating possible?

    Does anyone know how to connect my old iPod to Windows7?
    I have no Mac and I don't care if the music on the iPod is deleted.
    I used to have an iMac (in '02) but now I have iTunes (latest version) on Windows.
    I have connected the iPod using a 4-pin to 6-pin FireWire from my HP laptop.

    I have connected the iPod using a 4-pin to 6-pin FireWire from my HP laptop.
    It won't work if your laptop has a 4-pin FireWire port.  That is because the 4-pin FireWire port does not provide power (which is what the other two pins on a 6-pin FireWire port are for).  Without power, the iPod cannot charge.
    If you have the FireWire power adapter that came with those iPods, you might try charging the iPod fully using the power adapter, THEN connecting it to the laptop using the 4-to-6 pin cable.  That might (?) work, since the iPod can draw power from its battery while connected.

  • Updated to IOS 7.2 this morning, now when I type, there is a long lag time.  Phone been turned off and on, and still not working properly.  Any ideas?

    I updated to 7.02 this morning, and now when I go to use the keyboard, it does not respond.  Then all of a sudden after a few seconds, all the typing shows.  Made it very hard to put in the password, and now texts are VERY frustrating as I can not even use the backspace button.
    Any ideas?

    OK - I just found this and it seemed to work.
