Ipod automatically disconnects every time I plug it in

Help!

When this happened to me, I was using a mains-powered USB hub that I forgot to turn on. Even when the hub was already drawing power from the pc via its USB connection to the PC, it was insufficient and needed to be plugged into the mains power supply. And, I had to disconnect all other USB devices (except mouse/keyboard).

Why is iPhoto automatically opening every time I plug in my phone?

Every time I plug my iPhone into my Macbook it automatically opens up iPhoto whether or not I have new photos to import, which I usually don't. It's really annoying. My husband has the same phone and his doesn't do this. Is there some way to stop it?

he iPhone includes a single Camera Roll where all photos captured by the iPhone are stored. If you save a photo from a received message or from a website, the photo is stored in the Camera Roll.
If there are photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll - even if some of the photos were previously imported by iPhoto but not deleted from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete, iPhoto will launch automatically when your iPhone is connected if you have iPhoto set to do this when any digital camera is connected.
Depending on which iPhoto version you have, iPhoto includes a preference setting for this. If you have an earlier iPhoto version that doesn't include this preference setting, the same is available via Image Capture preferences with the Image Capture application. Connecting camera opens - select No Application.

I just got a brand new ipod shuffle and every time i plug it into my computer it shuts down itunes. What's going on?

Its a brand new 2 gb ipod shuffle and has never been connected to a computer before.

It would be interesting if it could "talk" to iTunes on a different host computer..if it couldn't it sounds like it would be some type of hardware problem, and would involve a warranty replacement of the new device.....wish I had a better answer...

Why does iTunes shut down every time I plug in my iPod nano?

For the last few months every time I plug my iPod into my mac iTunes automatically shuts down and an error message shows up. I have an iPhone and this problem doesn't happen when I plug it in. I have already taken my iPod to the apple store to see if they can fix it and they restored it but, when I took it home and plugged it in nothing has changed, iTunes still suddenly quits. I am running out of ideas on what the problem could be.

If the Apple Store Genius Bar was able to connect your iPod to a Mac and run a Restore, iTunes did not unexpectedly quit, so there is probably nothing wrong with the iPod.
Since you can connect an iPhone to your Mac and there is no problem, there is probably no hardware problem on the Mac.
That leave the iTunes installation. So, I would download the latest stand-alone iTunes installer and install iTunes again. If you use 10.5.8 (as it says in your profile), you should be able to use the latest version available here

If you are not using the latest version of iTunes already, please post back with the version you are using (and the reason you are using an older version).

Okay, so every time I plug my iPod Touch into my laptop it always imports my videos

Okay, so every time I plug my iPod Touch (4G) into my laptop it always imports my videos & photos. I don't want my videos and photos saved onto others files on my laptop so how do I stop this from automatically happening when I plug in my iPod?
Thanks! Laura,

There should be a pane in your photo program that can control what your iPhone does when plugged in.

New ipod classic crashes pc every time I plug it in

I've been reading the forums, and know I'm not the only person experiencing this, but here goes...
I bought a brand new 120gb ipod classic and downloaded itunes yesterday. I am running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 and the latest available download of itunes. I have the latest available drivers for my printer, webcam, and USB 2.0 card.
I have tried plugging the ipod into my USB 2.0 hub, into the computer direct, into different USB ports, and disconnecting all other USB devices, all to no effect.
Every time I plug in the ipod, Windows recognises that the Apple ipod USB Driver has been connected, then my computer restarts. I simply don't know what else to do. I've reset the ipod, what on earth do I try next? I've wasted a whole day, and it's made me absolutely miserable.
Help, please.

Hmmm... The guy writing that article indicates that the problem is to do with the Apple USB driver. It appears that for him, and many others, Apple's temporary fix of rolling back the USB driver from version 1.35 to version 1.29, has resolved the problem of Blue Screen Of Death.
It hasn't fixed it for me. I've got the XP sp3 and the new iPod Classic 120GB, and I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it from the Apple website several times. I've checked, and my version of iTunes 8 has version 1.29 of the USB driver. I've tried with the iPod in disk mode too. But I keep getting the BSOD, with the message "IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL".
However, my old iPod Photo 20GB from 3 years ago works fine!!!

On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". They are all registered. Help

On my registered iTunes computer, the following message appears every time one plugs in a device and refuses to load said device to be synced: "This iPod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". Each device has been registered onto this account and this computer, and all have worked finely in the past. I am so confused as to why now seemingly without reason, none of our apple devices (one iPod, two iPhones) are allowed to have music and other material downloaded onto them. Also, as a side note, they still are charged by plugging them into the computer, however they do not even show up on the left-hand sidebar in iTunes.
It should also be noted that for my iPhone it does not allow for the new update software to be uploaded; it just says that an error has occurred, nothing more.

We have a family computer in our house. We have several ipod touches and one iphone. Every time I plug in my new iphone, the computer erases my contacts and puts my daughter's contacts on it. How can I stop this from happening?

How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

My iPod playlists are deleted every time I plug my iPod into my MacBook Pro.

Every time I plug my iPod into my MacBook Pro, my iPod playlists are deleted. I have all the sync features turned off on both the iPod and computer. What is happening? I hate having to remake my "Workout" playlist everytime I plug in!

Correct. All sync features are turned off and if is 'manually manage' somewhere, I have checked the box to do so. So basically everything is set for me to manage manually, yet my iPod playlists are still being deleted.

I recently dug out my old 160gb iPod Classic. Every time I connect it to iTunes, the program freezes and/or crashes. My computer recognizes that the iPod is plugged in, (it's accesible under "My Computer") but iTunes doesn't acknowledge it, at all. Help?

Does your iTunes see your nano?
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes
If so, then follow through this:
How to reset iPod
Restoring iPod to factory settings
If not, do one or more of the following
Restart your computer
Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes [Windows XP] [Windows Vista & 7]
Reset iPod (will NOT delete everything)
Go to My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista & 7) and see if it shows
Restore iPod (WILL delete everything)
Make sure iTunes and iOS firmware is up to date.
Hope all this helps.

Why do extra, empty "on-the-go" playlists appear every time I plug in my iPod? It's really annoying.

I have an iPod Nano 3rd Generation that has never given me any problems, but iTunes is acting ridiculous. Every time I plug my iPod into my computer, one or more "on-the-go" playlists randomly comes into existance. It is always empty, and there have been times I have ended up with 8 or 9 new, empty on-the-gos. iTunes has been acting stupid for a long time now, and this is just about the last straw for me. Anyone know any reasons and/or fixes for this?

Not sure why they are happening, but you might my KillEmptyPlaylists script useful. Have you tried resetting or restoring the device yet?

Ipod goes into recovery mode every time I plug it in

Just bought a new iPod classic, 160gb. I plugged it in for the first time to sync it with my laptop and get some music on it. The next time I plugged it in, iTunes gave me an error message saying it couldn't read the contents of my iPod, and that it detected an iPod in recovery mode. I had to restore it just to put 5 new songs on it, which took almost 45 minutes. Since then, I've updated the iTunes and iPod software but this is still happening every time I plug it in to my computer.
Are other people having this problem? Is it hardware or software?

Pretty much anyone using an iPod Classic with iTunes 9 or 901 is screwed in a similar manner. Read around these threads and you'll see man. Sorry, no word from Apple yet on what's going on.
Looks like their ''upgrade" to version 9 may actually be damaging hardware, as hard as that seems to believe.

ITunes requires iPod restored to factory settings every time I plug it in

I'm using iTunes 10.1.2 with an iPod Classic 120GB - since I upgraded to iTunes 10.1.1 every time I plug my iPod into the USB port and open iTunes I get a message saying the iPod cannot be read and to restore it to factory settings. If I then do this and copy all music back onto it, next time I plug it in I get the same message.
It seems to be iTunes that is doing this. My iPod works absolutely fine until I have to plug it in to charge or add music to it. Even if I cancel and don't restore to factory settings, after ejecting my iPod it will then say it has No Music on it. All the files are still there though.

Why does my computer restart every time I plug in my ipod?

I got my ipod touch a few weeks ago, and for the last two weeks, every time I plug it in, my computer restarts. It continues to restart every time it reaches the XP loading bit (where the bars travel across the screen, I don't know the technical name). I put the computer into safe mode and it doesn't restart, but my ipod isnt recognised on itunes so I can't sync it.
Does anyone have this problem, or know how to fix it? Thanks in advance

I've got a first gen. Ipod touch and I had a problem with my computer and had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall windows! since then when I plug in my touch it restarts my computer.
I'm looking on the forum for a solution before I try anything but to me it looks like we have a similar problem.
The only things different on my system since the last time it worked properly are I updated/reinstalled itunes yesterday and I installed NORTON 360 about a week ago so I think it must have something to do with them!
what browser do you use? I'm using firefox.
If you find a solution can you post an update and I'll do the same,thanks.
