IPod Causing BSOD on Vista

For some reason, all of a sudden, whenever I plug in my iPod to my computer, the computer crashes and quickly shows a blue screen of death before restarting. It has not done this before today. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary with the iPod or the computer that would cause it to do this.
When iTunes opened, it said there was a Windows Update to fix a problem with iPods corrupting upon disconnecting from the PC, but when I tried to download the update, it said something about the update not being needed for this system. The iPod isn't corrupted, everything is still on it. I don't know what the deal is.
Should I do I system restore to deal with any problem that may have occurred in the past 24 hours that is causing this?

Well, I tried system restore, and it's STILL giving me the blue screen of death. What the heck?! Why all of a sudden can't I plug my iPod in without it crashing my computer?

Hi
The BSOD error can be caused by serious software issue or hardware problem.
In your case its not easy to say what causes this BSOD.
When did you notice this BSOD error? Did it appear from first time?
Did you install any 3rd applications which could be a reason for such issue?
I mean software compatibility problems.
Last but not least a BSOD can be caused by faulty RAM module.
I had a similar issue and finally Ive found out that one of my modules malfunctioned.

HT1212 Hi, one of my daughters friends tried to access her ipod causing it to become disabled; i do not want her to lose all her photos, she accesses my itunes account which is on ICLOUD, will she lose all her data - can this be fixed?

Hi, one of my daughters friends tried to access her ipod causing it to become disabled; i do not want her to lose all her photos, she accesses my itunes account which is on ICLOUD, will she lose all her data - can this be fixed? I do not think it has been synced with a computer before.

Disabled
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.
Otherwise y will have to restore and thus erase the iPod
You can restore from backup
If not in backup then:
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Maybe from the restored iPod via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

-iPod touch Deleted Photo Recovery Tips You Should Know
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:

Can't update ipod cause playlist being updated do not exist

I installed my ipod software. Great! Easy to use. Then my computer crashed for other reasons. I got a new computer, installed again, and when I try to update my iPod, iTunes tells me they can't update my songs because the playlists I am updating (I did create a couple on the old computer) are gone.
Now I can't update my iPod cause I got a new computer? HELP!

As long as you still have a backup of the music (on the new computer prefably) try restoring your Nano with Ipod updater. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60944

IPod connectivity to Windows Vista

Even after reinstalling the iTunes/iPod software on Vista, the iPod never gets recognized by the iPod service/iTunes. Vista keeps reporting that it cannot recognize the USB device.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

1) Check and see if it will sync under XP compatibility mode (right click the program, not the shortcut> click properties, there will be a compatibility tab). A popup may nag you about changing the compatibility, just ignore it for the time being.
2) Check your USB hardware drivers to have them up to date. Vista is one of the weirdest OS's I've been around lately that uses older (read: not native or "updated") drivers and messes up on them...
3) The iPod service might be misbehaving. You can restart it by going to start> right click my computer>
manage> services and applications> services> click iPod service> click restart service.
4) NT OS's (including Vista) tend to be "closed oriented" on bidirectional hardware access, so make sure you can connect to other devices as well.
So much for the rumored iTunes update with the "colored" shuffles... I guess that's for later...

Ipod not compatible with Vista??

Hi:
I bought a new Dell computer that came with Vista. I have an ipod Video with iTunes songs and other recorded CD tunes I've put on the system. I can't get the Windows Media Ctr. to find my iTunes [are they not compatible]? Has Apple got a lock in on this music? Now I can't synch with my ipod for new music or synch in general. What's the story?

According to Kim Komando's newsletter today (what a name - and she claims it's not made up!), Microsoft has just released a patch that will allow iPods to work with Vista. Sorry I don't have more info - I know I won't be getting Vista for a while, so I didn't pay any more attention to how to get it or where.

How can you connect your iPod touch to your Vista computer without using Apple Software

How do you connect an iPod touch to your Vista computer without using any Apple products

There is no other legit way to sync your iPod than using iTunes. There is 3rd party software to transfer content from the iPod to your computer, but not from the computer to your iPod.
Disk mode is not supported.

Reader 9 causes BSOD on Windows XP Pro

We have a few systems here that are having real problems with Adobe Reader 9. When the users attempt to open a .pdf file, they get a BSOD, and the system reboots. Once the system comes back up, they are able to open the offending file with no problems.
Here are details of our systems:
Dell Optiplex 755
Windows XP Pro SP3
2GB Ram
32 Bit OS
I have found this occurs most often when opening pdf's that were created with earlier versions.
I'm sure I have left out some vital piece of information, so if you need clarification on something, please ask. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

[While the original post was for Reader 9, I found this same problem with Acrobat 9 Pro, and found a solution.]
Problem: Opening one PDF file is fine, but once you open the second file -- BSOD.
Cause: There is still a problem with Adobe's 2D GPU Acceleration feature.
Per http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb405218&sliceId=1, "If acceleration hardware is detected, then optimization is enabled for all files except the first one opened when Acrobat launches." That is why the first file opens OK, but the second causes BSOD. Adobe is either not detecting acceleration hardware correctly, or is not calling it correctly.
Temporary Solution:
1. In Acrobat or Adobe Reader, choose to Edit > Preferences.
2. Go to the Page Display panel.
3. Uncheck Use 2D GPU acceleration.
I tested my machine [Dell Optiplex 755, ATI Radion HD 2400 XT 8.420.0.0, Win XP Pro, Adobe 9 Pro] with "2D GPU acceleration" checked, attempted open of 4 PDFs from File Explorer -->first one opened, then BSOD, rebooted, unchecked "2D GPU", attempted the exact same operation --> all four opened in their windows and now I am happily typing on this page.
This is per http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=324073, which is a post from two years ago and relates to Adobe 8. So, Dell has been fielding calls on this for at least two years. Way to stick in there, Dell. Two years ago, Adobe knew the problem ("You are using an desktop ATI video card with driver version 8.291 or 8.301 and have the Acrobat Page Display Preference 'Use 2D GPU acceleration' enabled." was what they said back then, and recommended updating the video drivers. So, Dell stays with it, Adobe says to update your drivers. Well, I bought an entirely new Dell to get the latest drivers and it didn't help.
Permanent solution:
Adobe needs to get 2D GPU acceleration to really work (how about a line of code where you check whether it is going to work before you execute it?) or ship their product with that feature off by default.

I want to know what happened to my ipod cause for exemple, when I turn on sometimes all the screen appears with lines and everything look like lines and I have to turn off again..

I want to know what happened to my ipod, cause after a while that it was off when I want to run in on it gets lines, like if that would be broken and I have to turn off again..

What generation is your iPod? My sister's 2g/3g(I'm not sure which) was doing something similar, but it would put a different graphic on the screen every time. We took it in to the apple store and they didn't determine what it was. One thing they said to try was to restore it and gradually add content on to see if it's an app or something loaded on it. If that doesn't work then they said it's probably something in the software or firmware. They gave her the option of getting one exactly like the one she had or getting the new one like I have. She ended up getting the new one on sale at target.

I'm locked out my IPOD cause I can't remember my 4 digit code. How can I unlock it?

Hello only1ant,
I found an article with some steps you can take if you remember the passcode on your iPod touch:

Ipod causing PC to reboot

I have been having trouble with my 20G ipod causing my PC to restart. First noted something funny when I would start to play a song on the iPod and then the song would immediately cut out and the ipod would turn off. This has happened repeatedly despite battery not being drained. I have also noted that when I plugged my ipod into the USB on my PC that it caused the computer to reboot and caused a "serious error". Since first problems developed I have updated to iTunes 5.0 (although this too was difficult but eventually successful when I turned off antivirus software and removed old versions of iTunes). I have verified that the iPod firmware is up to date. Any ideas as to a cause for this and a fix? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Of note is that I have used the iPod on my 2 different computers at times .... can this cause a problem?

I have the same problem, when I connect my iPod to my pc it reboots (actually crashes). After the pc is rebooted the iPod can sync with iTunses. I can repair the problem temporarely but it keeps coming back:
- solution 1: run chkdsk on the iPod hard drive letter from windows explorer, it finds and corrects an error and the problem dissappears for some days
- solution 2: run the iPod Updater (2005-06-26), this completely formats the iPod harddrive I think, since afterwards it has to put al my music back on it, the problem dissappears for several weeks with this
I'm getting nuts about this problem, I don't think it is good for my pc to crash every time I connect my iPod. Didn't find any help on the support section of the apple site.

Drivers cause BSOD {URGENT}

Good day
About 2 years ago I bought this laptop for a really good deal and i was impressed with the performance i got with it. Its quite a powerful and quality piece of tech.
There are some drawbacks...
In the two years ive had it ive formatted the laptop twice. Once to upgrade to windows 8.1, and now because windows got corrupted and it didnt want to use a restore point. Which is normal for windows, it doesnt last forever.
Drivers are a mess. Most i can gather is i'm suppose to download my laptop's drivers from here.
http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-dv6-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-series/522...
There are 3 different wireless lan drivers, the chipset drivers cause BSOD's, i can install every single driver on the list and i still have about 4 unknown devices in my device manager.
Point is Im better off googling for the hardware ID's and scrubbing forums for my drivers.
Please could Someone supply me a link where i can download a complete Driver DVD image for my laptop model that works. I am more than willing to download a 1.4 gig torrent if it has proper work everytime drivers.
Infact i would even drive to hp head office if they could supply me with a hardcopy.
Help Please!
Before i break something.
Back on windows 7 btw

Hi @Pixelite ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv6-7030ei Notebook and needing a recovery disk. Here is a link to show you how to and or order the Recovery Media you need.
FWI: The driver page shows all drivers that were installed on all HP Pavilion Notebooks.
I would uninstall all the drivers with a yellow mark or caution on it. Restart the Notebook and if they are still there right click on the device and install or update the drivers.
I hope this helps you out.
Thanks.

I've opened itunes and none of my songs or albums are there in my library. I'm afraid to plug in my ipod cause i may lose all my music.

I've lost everything in my itunes library. No of my albums i've purchased over the years are there. I'm afraid to plug in my ipod cause I could lose all my songs on it? Very frustrated and I don't know what happened to my itunes Library?? Help?

Ok, so, what I had done before I saw your response is follow the prompts to activate "match" on this computer... So when I restarted my computer just now, I see a copy of what is on my iphone, which brings up another question that has had me confused for so long.. Between the cloud and match, shouldnt whatever I have on my computer be automatically put onto my iphone? As this does not happen. I think you have to attach the iphone to the computer in order to update, but whenever I do that, it doesnt do this. So, I dont have anything I did for bascially all of 2013 which is a lot... I never worried too much about it as I listen to most of my music from the computer and from my ipod, and dont worry about the music on my iphone. But I am so confused about how to reconcile all my songs, albums, playlists on all my devices..
Another thing that seems to be the root of all things annoying is regarding my apple id.. When I first chose my user name back in the day, it was simple.. You chose what you wanted.. Recently, when I wanted to try to get into this "cloud" thing, I was asked to choose another apple id that was in the format of an e-mail address. Which has caused so much confusion for me of which I can not figure out.. I have things purchased on both accounts and just wish I could have all my purchases together on all my devices..
I have not tried your suggestion yet, but will, if that is still your suggestion after all this additional information..
Thank you in advance for all your help...

Ipod causes Windows Vista to stutter

Itunes 8 - Connecting Ipod cause Blue Screen on Vista

I just installed itunes 8 over my itunes 7 on Vista.
Now whenever I plug in my ipod nano, I get a blue screen death. 3 times so far. even if it is plugged in on boot, I get a blue screen.
Before itunes 8 I never seen a blue screen with vista since it came out.

I think it's safe to say then that either Apple's USB driver shipped with iTunes 8 is broken on Vista, or it's causing a problem with some other common Vista driver.
Are you guys both using the 64-bit edition of Windows Vista?
Also remember to check with your manufacturers to see if there are updated drivers for other devices on your computers. This may help rectify the problem. For Dell (since one of you has an XPS), go to http://support.dell.com and enter the service tag of your laptop and update any hardware driver that's available for you.
