IPod deleted itself and freezes my computer

yesterday my computer spontaneously deleted all of it's music and everytime i conenct it to my pc it freezes windows and im forced to restart. If i try restarting the computer into windows with the iPod still attached, windows refuses to load, and my computer will continuously restart on it's own untill i remove the iPod. All attempts to reformat the hardrive have failed. All of the above have occured in both 32-bit and x64 edition of windows pro.
Other than that, there seems to be nothing wrong with the iPod

Hey Dakotes,
I would take a look at the troubleshooting steps in the following article to resolve the issue:

    Have you tried plugging the Nano into another available USB port or using another USB sync cable?  Does it seem to be freeze when syncing the same track?
    I assume iTunes is up to date (10.7 at the time of this writing).

  • Has anyone heard of RoboHelp HTML v10 "magically" deleting itself and all project files?

    We have an off-site contractor that swears RoboHelp HTML "magically" deleted itself and all project files. I've never heard of this and wondered if anyone else had. It sounds kinda fishy to me, but I've seen some strange things from RH, so thought I'd ask around first.
    Thanks-

    Hi all-
    No, no source control in play that I know of. It appears we have gotten few answers to questions. The problems began when it was reported that they could not copy the project files to a flash drive. I personally have never had an issue with this task. Then, it was reported that the project had gotten deleted by RH. The resolution after-the-fact is that the contractor spent 1+/- week recreating the project (60-70 topics) from the published content.
    I'm surprised that as a contractor they didn't know to come here and ask questions or find tools available to reverse engineer from the published content, but I suppose not everyone knows of the goldmine that lives here. I'd never heard of an uninstall removing project files, but I know there are a million ways it could have been configured and never say never, right?
    Thanks for the quick replies - you guys ROCK!

  • Help - why does my iPod erase itself and refuse to charge?

    I have a click wheel iPod. I just sent in for a new battery in January, and the replacement is now experiencing the same problems I had with my old iPod. It worked fine for the first month or so, but then it wouldn't charge. I could hear it power up, but then die. The screen looped between the exclamation point and a low battery picture, even when it was plugged into the computer or the wall.
    Today I tried one last time before I called support, and it finally started charging. It had completely erased itself, though. These symptoms are similar to what happened on my first iPod. Anyone know what is going on with my iPod? Thanks!

    Try resetting the iPod.  Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    You can also try another cable and usb port.

  • ITunes keeps freezing up and freezing my computer

    I have a computer that runs on Vista.  Everything was fine untill my brother decided to be kind and update iTunes for me while trying to help me get some music off my iPod and back into iTunes.  THATS when the trouble started.  iTunes now freezes up when I open it, freezes my computer AND I ended up loosing everything on my iPod because of this problem (my husband got frusterated and unplugged the iPod, I think, when he should't have).  GAH!  Whats up???  I've already uninstalled and reinstalled iTuens a few times...no love.No, it also wont recongize my iPod, but i think once it stops freezing, that will go away.

    Put your ipod into disk mode to restore it:
    Reset (Menu + Centre Button)
    As it is resetting (when the screen goes blank) quickly hold down the Play and Centre buttons until your ipod tells you it is disk mode (indicated by a tick on the screen)
    Plug your ipod in a Mac or a PC, eventually it will pick it up with iTunes and request a restore.
    Never plug out an iPod if it has not been ejected.

  • IPod disconnects itself and not recognized by itunes or Mac

    I've recently had issues when trying to connect my ipod to my mac. When connected it appears to be loading onto desktop and itunes. itunes briefly says "verifying ipod" then it is abruptly disconnected. Because I am unable to connect to itunes, I can't restore the ipod. I've tried everything else. I am going to try and find another computer and see if it will recognize it, but I'm not sure I can. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, did restoring the ipod resolve it or did something else?
    This may be a coincidence, but I haven't connected my ipod since the latest itunes 10.1 update. May not be related, but thought it was worth mentioning.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    Did you try to use another USB cable or check the docking port for debris or lint?
    I don't think 10.1 is tghe problem, I just synced my 5GiPod and had no problems.
    Did you make sure it is charged before you connect?

  • Adobe Reader keeps on crashing and freezing my computer

    I have Adobe reader 9.4, the latest version, on my computer but even after numerous reinstalls the software continues to cause problems by freezing my computer. I've thought about other problems like viruses or bugs that could be and explanation but I have run scans on my computer which have come up with nothing. My computer does not have that much software running on it and I have checked for issues with those programs but have come up with nothing and still believe Adobe Reader Is the cause.Any advice? Thank You!

    Uninstall Reader 9.4 and try the latest Adobe Reader X (10.0).
    If you still have problems, please state your operating system and version.

  • Moving library from one iPod to another and from one computer to another?

    I hope that this is a simple, if complicated, issue:
    I have a new iPod Touch (well, it's 2nd generation, but for me that is new!), and an older classic iPod. The older iPod syncs with my old desktop computer, while my new one syncs with my laptop.
    I'd like to merge the desktop-based library from my old iPod with the laptop-based library for my new iPod, so that I can retire the older device. Is it simply a matter of exporting the library from the desktop and importing it to the laptop?
    Thanks, folks!

    Hello DWaldo,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Is it simply a matter of exporting the library from the desktop and importing it to the laptop?
    Yes. Simply copy the content from your old iTunes library over to your new laptop and then import it into iTunes. You can even use your old iPod to do this,

  • Ipod Mini second gen freezes my computer

    I have windows 7 and this is the first time i've ever plugged my Ipod into this computer. WHen I plug it in, it isn't detected by the computer or Itunes. If i plug it in then try to open Itunes, it won't open. If i unplug it afterward, then Itunes opens. I also can't open internet explorer. I have the latest version of Itunes and everything on my computer is updated. I have virus protection and all that so I know it's not a virus. What's happening to my ipod? Do i have to reset it? And if so, will i lose all my songs?

    Hello Paul,
    Thank you for your kind word, I totally agree that Mark is a knowledgeable guy but def. not me. I am just a guy enjoy to repairing the iPods and share my experience with people who have the problems.
    Make the long story short, I do not know the reason cause but I discover the following points:-
    1. iPod will be free from problem if it only got charged by the AC charger instead of the computer.
    2. Problems always happen just after the installation of the latest iPod updater or connecting with the computer, particular PC.
    3. Some iPods not able to be charged from the USB port of a PC - it happens to most of the PDA cases as well. The unstable of power supply from the USB port always the reason to screw the iPod.
    4. After the installation of the iPod updater, some iPods need to be plugged with an AC Charger to finish the installation process. And lot of case got stuck at this stage.
    5. iPod is like an external HD, when you put it Disk Mode, you got better chance to get your iPod mount with the computer, in order for you to do the Restore.
    6. Reset does help on most cases
    7. If reset does not work then you must do a Restore
    8. Some iPods may need to do a Format (Disk Utility or 3rd party software) instead of purely doing a Restore.
    9. If your iPod is formatted in a PC, and cant recognized by your PC, it is better chance to solve it by connectting it with a Mac and vince verse
    10. Use Firewire instead of USB
    Stay away from connecting your iPod with a PC unless you need to do the update of iPod software

  • Can i sync my ipod at work and at home computer

    I would like to use an ipod touch to sync with my outlook calendar at work, but I see that I would have to use itunes on my work computer.  Can I sync the ipod touch with my home computer and my work computer?

    You can only sync with one computer/iTunes library.  However, you can manage music with multiple computers. See:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
