IPod crashes PC

I don't know what's going on, but every time I plug my iPod into my computer, a blue screen comes up and tells me to reboot my PC. (Every other time it works just fine, but quite frankly, I'm sick of having to fix my stupid computer.) I can't just try reseting my iPod, because it's totally dead. Now I'm stuck with a worthless piece of aluminum that set me back $200. I'd really appreciate it if someone could tell me what to do.

well, i can't tell you exactly tell you word-for-word what the screen says, but i know it says something about an error at the beinning and something about "physical memory dupm" at the end. i apologize, but i'm not about to plug it in again, for fear of killing my computer.
god i hate dell...

IPods crash and can't back up library - HELP

I have had an iPod mini for 1.5 years. My spouse got an iPod (30GB video) recently. When we switch between them to update songs from one library, the iPods crash and have to be reset (even that takes a few tries following instructions on iPod help).
I tried circumventing the problem by copying the library on my laptop from our PC (to have one iPod with one computer, both have XP Pro) with the USB drive but the library won't copy from USB drive to the new iTunes. (it will play songs from USB but won't copy them).
1. Can I backup the library on another computer?
2. What is the safest way to create a backup library (CDs in my experience may not last long)?
3. If we update the computer (hopefully soon) will that mean that we can't copy the library to a new commputer and will lose all the songs we bought?
4. How can we prevent either iPod from blocking or crashing?
Thanks for any advice and help.

Update: Success! I used my iPod as an external hard drive following these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329?viewlocale=en_US
After I reformatted I reinstalled my old iTunes 6 and dragged the folder back to My Music. At first, iTunes wuldn't sync a couple hundred songs to my iPod because I wasn't "authorized" so I had to enter my Apple ID and password. Downloaded latest software for Itunes and iPod and all is good.
Investing in an external hard drive still sounds like a good idea, since this was my first reformat and it was a bit nerve-wracking.

My iPod crashes when I try to play a podcast

For the last few weeks, whenever I go to play a podcast I have downloaded it gets a minute in and then my iPod crashes and resets itself to the menu page. Everything else - songs, videos etc all work properly, it's just the podcast. Can anyone help me stop it doing this? It's really annoying.

I'll bet it's annoying! Does it do it with EVERY podcast you download, or just one? Is it sound only or a video podcast?

IPod crashing with certain Apple Lossless files

So my iPod crashes sometimes when playing some ALAC files. It's up to date, I've scanned it, formatted it numerous times, and have done all I can thus far. read: I've troubleshooted. Can't figure out why it's crashing. It seems to like files that were recoded from FLAC to ALAC. They play fine in iTunes though. Whats the deal?
Also, when I enter my serial number into the warranty check form, it says it can't find the serial number...

I might have found a solution. I was having the same problem. FLAC files converted to ALAC would crash the iPod. I tried several conversion program without success. I finally tired Max 0.7.2b and it's working.

IPod Crashed During Sync And Now Its Dead...

Hi guys,
While syncing my other ipod touch to my computer, i don't know how it happened, but the ipod crashed, and then froze. iTunes said the sync had completed, but the ipod still displayed a frozen 'sync in progress screen'. I hard reset it because it was the only thing that i could do. Now, all that is displayed is an apple logo, however, it does show up in itunes.
Is a restore required? Please advise...

I fixed it. Yay for me.

Ipod crashes all the time

Does the iPod get overheated after 10 minutes?
Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic, as posted earlier by tt2, it wont solve your problem, but help in troubleshooting.

My ipod crashed, won't start

Why has my ipod 'crashed', and how can i get it working again? does this also apply to ipad? After app updates ipad froze and won't come on.

Try (applicable to all iOS devices):
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

So randomly my ipod crashed and when i turned the ipod on again it was all white and blurred. Part of the screen is up to speed but the other half is slow. Already tried turning it completely off and restoring it on the computer

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Help Ipod crashes Itunes! :confused:

Okay heres my issue my ipod when plugged into any computer (and try delete music or put music on it crashes) it just completely freezes (and I have to do the whole process of 'Ctrl Alt Delete' end process due to the program is not responding) It happens like this,
The Ipod works for awhile, corporates but If i try, disconnect the ipod using the Itunes feature
I will just crash, If i try to use the safely remove hardware it just comes up with this error message (The device 'generic volume' cannot be stopped right now. Try stopping the device later)
If i try delete music it crashes (if i delete the music without the program crashing and then pulled out the plug without disconnecting it and now the music is on there but wont play, and if i delete it I cant safely disconnect it I have to just pull it start out and the music stays there but don't play, It comes up i itunes with the (''!'') if front if it.
If i manage to get to the point of being able to delete the music and start putting new stuff on it just dose not disconnect, If i try use the 'safely remove hardware' Same error as above, If i try to disconnect it using itunes it just crashes the program and the ipod goes back to having the same music i tryd to delete and none of the new music, I think its my ipod because I've tryd it on several different computers
I cant restore the Ipod back to normal and start again because that to just crashes Itunes
The ipod seems to work fine exect the whole issue of it crashes itunes when ever you try to do anything related to my ipod

I have the exact same problem, I think. When I disconnect my iPod using the eject feature my iPod crashes and cannot be used. I then have to put it in disc mode and restore factory settings. I have (throuhg lots of time) found that certain albums are causing the problem. Occasionally I get a message saying "iPod could not be ejected because some files are being used in another application". Not sure where or why, but by not putting this on my iPod it works fine. Im trying to find a solution to this file issue. In the mean time I can only suggest managing the music yourself and trying to find the problematic album.

IPod crashes during Restore! Critic!

Hi,
Few months ago I used to transfer media to my iPod from a Mac till this week which I switched to PC. As you might know I was needed to restore my iPod in order to transfer from the windows... well I clicked on restore, my iPod started the process but suddenly *crashed during the restore*.
From now on, my iPod crashes even when I launch games (like Vortex, Music Quiz...) and when I try to restore it.
BTW, there is a delay when I connect the iPod till iTunes recognizes it.
Please help me,
Thanks,
Maor

Ipod crashes after going through airport x ray security

Every time after my 3rd generation ipod classic goes through the airport security x ray unit, and then I subsequently connect it to my Mini, the ipod crashes and I have to reset my ipod. Does anyone know why?

You would have to turn the iPad On. Don't believe it would hurt the iPad. The only problem might be that you would be setting the exposure in the lighted area & the Xray machine is probably dark inside.
But I would ask one of the TSA persons first. They might not allow it. They might not like the blinking red light.

IPod Crashes while syncing and fully charged

Hi,
My Ipod crashes when its fully charged and syncing to Itunes. Anyone know how to fix?
Thanks,

Well, I tried the five R's. My iPod still crashes out after about a 1/4 of a gig gets synched up.
I get an error message "unexpected error unable to write to ipod -124" or something like that.
What's strange is my iPod will be fully charged. Then, in the couple minutes most the iPod says its low on battery. -- I had a battery replaced only about a year ago.
Has anyone come across this problem?
