IPod causing mega crash (and its not the iPods fault)

Whenever I plug in an iPod to my new iMac, iTunes freezes. Usually it will take down the entire computer. The variations are, the iPod will not be visible or I will see the iPod and after two or three changes iTunes will lock up. Sometimes if I wait long enough, like five min or more, it will recover. However as soon as I try to do anything, it will lock up again.
iTunes functions normally without the iPods plugged in.
I have two different iPods that I am using, a nano and a shuffle. I have tested both on my iBook and they work great.
I have called tech support twice, once I was told to empty my cashes and the second time I was told to re-install iTunes. Neather solution worked and I was given a case number and told to call back when a guru was working. I have also repaired my permissions numerous times. I even re-installed the operating system.
What the heck is wrong with my computer?

This is the second major problem reported regarding iTunes crashing the new iMacs. A lot of people are reporting that iTunes crashes their new iMacs when attempting to browse the TV Shows page of the iTunes store. See this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1095847&tstart=0
My guess is that there is a conflict between iTunes and a device driver on the new iMacs, possibly in relation to the USB controller.

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Make sure that y do not leave any foreign material or leave anything in the jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
When it says restore the iPid via recovery mode, try placing n recovery mode and restoring several times.

Just one speaker wont work and its not the speaker

the rear left speaker is...well..has no sound but random crackling, i've switched speakers and its still the same thing on that channel, i've switched the wires still the same thing on that channel. there is nothing wrong with the speaker or the wire, the rear right speaker is just fine. i suspect the rear left plug is screwed. Also in windows it is set to 7.1 in the sound options thing.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be the problem?

IPod with click wheel not recognized by computer and doesn't show up in itunes. Have went through all the suggested tips and its not the cable.

ipod with click wheel not recognized on two separate laptops. Checked the cable and newer ipod shuffle works fine. Ipod will play already loaded music and play from a dock. Have went through the 5Rs and still not working. Any help appreciated.

Checked the cable and newer ipod shuffle works fine.
You're not trying to connect the iPod with click wheel using the short USB cable for the iPod shuffle, are you? If so, that won't work. The shuffle uses its headphone jack for the data connection. All other iPods use the dock connector, using a standard docking cable.

Trying to upload to youtube a 16:9 video through my ipod touch 4th gen and its not working.

Hey i have managed to download the Imovie for the Ipod touch 4th Gen, I can't seem to export or upload to youtube a 16:9 screen just a very thin screen. I don't have a apple mac, I have windows vista. I realise for some features you have to use a apple mac. So is there anyway that I can fix this problem, thank you for your time and patience.

See:
fix for Home button
Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
You can also go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn on Assistive Touch It adds the Home button to the iPod's screen.
Yes, if you get it fixes, the iPod will likely be erased. Apple will not repair your old iPod, they exchange it for a refurbished one and do not transfer data.

PLEASE HELP!! CAN'T SYNC WITH OUTLOOK...AND ITS NOT THE 64 BIT VERSION

PLEASE HELP ME!!
I have a BB Storm2 9550. I had a laptop with Outlook 2007/Windows Vista/BB Desktop 5 and it synced fine.
I now have a new laptop with Outlook 2010/Windows 7/ BB Desktop 6 and each time I try to configure the Organizer Data to select 'Outlook' for Calendar, Memo, Tasks, and Contacts and select NEXT I receive an error in Intellisync that says 'The Operation Terminated Unexpectedly'.
I have tried completely uninstalling BB Desktop manager from the Application Data folders and registry, reinstalling 6.0, downgrading to 5.0 (which gives me a Microsoft Connector Error).
I have also tried reinstalling Outlook. I read all of the posts concerning Outlook 2010 64bit but I am running the 34bit version.
Please help me. Right now I don't have any contacts on my BlackBerry and I am so frustrated. I have tried to fix this for over a week now and all the posts I read don't seem to resolve my issue or I don't understand them.
I'll even take suggestions for other ways to sync my data besides outlook (although that is not my preference)
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Log in to an account that has administrator privileges.
Open a command prompt.
Type cd C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Desktop\IntelliSync\Connectors\MS Outlook Connector.
Type regsvr32 MsOutlookConnector.fil and press Enter.
Note: For BlackBerry Desktop Manager 6.0, please use the following path:
C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Desktop\IntelliSync\Connectors\MS Outlook Connector
Note: The following error message might be displayed when step 3 has been completed:
The module msoutlookconnector.fil was loaded, but the call to DLLRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005
If this happens, turn off the User Accounts Control (UAC) and register the MsOutlookConnector.fil file again.
To turn off the UAC in Windows Vista, complete the following steps:
Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel.
Under User Accounts and Family settings, click Add or remove user account.
Select one of the user accounts or the guest account.
Under the account, click Go to the main User Account.
Under Make changes to your user account, click the Change security settings link.
Under Turn on User Account Control (UAC) to make your computer more secure, clear Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer and turn off the UAC.
Click OK.
Restart the computer.
Give this a try it could be that the connector to ms outlook never registered properly.

What happened when my ipod doesnt turn on and its just the apple sign on the screen ?

What happened when i pluged up my ipod and only the apple sign comes up on it , what is going on ?

Have you tried a hard reset yet to see if that does any good? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. Try this more than once if necessary.
Otherwise, try connecting it to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restoring it. See this article for instructions on getting your iPod into Recovery mode.

Ipod nano...and now getting the ipod touch, can this be done ?

on our pc I have itunes for my ipod nano....hubby is getting an ipod touch but will be using his laptop to set up a new itunes
can we use each others itunes for downloading some music ? what I mean is
PC has loads of golden oldies
LAPTOP will have lots of new downloads
can the iphone be used on the PC and the LAPTOP and have all the music from both itunes, or will it be one or the other ?
thanks in advance

*.its not giving me any option to take songs from the nano on to my laptop itunes,*
That would be correct, iTunes will only give you the facility to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
