Ipod freezes when i try to plug it into my computer

Whenever i try to plug my ipod into my computer through the USB cord it freezes, i've found that its not just my computer that it does this on but also on my sisters computer. It will charge but it won't update. It just freezes on the "Do not disconnect" page. I don't think its my computer that is the problem it must be the ipod.

I'm having the same problem too... just started happening out of nowhere. After having this happen, I tried to enter the iPod into disk mode manually, which worked, and allowed me to use the iPod updater to restore the iPod.
I uploaded all my songs to it, but now a new problem has arised: whenever disconnect it, not only does it stay frozen, but when I try to restart it, it enters some kind of endless loop where the startup screen will show, then after a couple minutes, the backlight will go off and the iPod will reset itself.
So, valfish, don't do what I did, and to everyone else, how do we fix this???

  • My iPhone 3GS just stopped working this morning. It tells me activation is required and that I need to plug it into itunes. When I try to plug it into itunes it doesn't register that I have anything plugged in.

    My phone stopped working this morning, it tells me that activation is requires and that I need to plug it into ITunes. However when I try to plug it into my computer nothing happens, it will only show the apple symbol when I plug it into an outlet. Does anyone know what I can do to get it to plug into itunes or activate it again?

    Please plug the iPhone with the original doch-connector & USB cable into a USB plug in the computer (directly into the computer) and restart iTunes. It should register. Please do not stop the registration!!! You may need to press power on iPhone.
    Is the iPhone jailbroken?

    Connect to iTunes alert (picture of iTunes logo and USB connector) - iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode
    If it still won't do anything, make an appointment with Apple and be prepared to get a refurbished phone at out of warranty prices.

    The backup does not include any itunes content. NO apps, music,etc
    You can transfer itunes purchases from iphone to computer:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You need to copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new computer.

    I don't know how but after two hours of trying to sync, Somehow the files that I wanted to transfer, worked. I don't know how or If I got another -54 but, all I know is that this has happened alot. I usually take hours to sync stuff. I figured this out at the last moment trying to transfer all my photos trying to create a clean slate. I somehow found my files on there.

  • My iPad has a passcode on it, but it got typed in too many times, and now it has been disabled.   However, when I try to plug it into iTunes, it tells me it cannot recognize the device until you enter the passcode.

    My ipad has been disabled and now I'm trying to get it to work again.  However, when I plug it into my computer it says that i need to type in the passcode, but i can't until it connects to itunes...also, my ipad has only been plugged into my friend's computer.  it has never been plugged into a computer since then.  Would this have anything to do with my problem?

    This probably has nothing to do with plugging into your friends computer, but unless you have a backup, everything on the iPad will be lost.
    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    You will probably have to use recovery mode

  • Itunes/ipod freeze when i try to sync my ipod

    yesterday i downloaded the most recent version of itunes. i successfully synced my ipod the first time. but now when i try to sync my ipod, itunes freezes up and eventually quits sync-ing.
    i've restored my ipod twice, but it hasn't helped -- each time i trying to sync the ipod, it will begin the process, but freeze after 7-30 songs of 2200.
    and now i just tried to scroll through my ipod songs to see how many were actually there, and it froze up.
    please help. thanks.

    I'm having an similar problem after updating to iTunes 7.1.1.5, Windows XP. I'm using a 3rd Gen 40G iPod. I have reinstalled iTunes several times and restored the iPod so that all data in it has been erased. When I try to synch the iPod to iTunes, first of all it copies very slowly, and then, it will fail after about seven or eight songs and I get the error message that the synch failed due to an unknown cause (error -124). I am able to eject the iPod and iTunes appears to work correctly. I've tried this several times and the same error keeps occurring.

  • Ipod freezes everytime I try to sync it to my computer?

    I have both an iphone and ipod in my itunes. After the last big update, my iphone works fine. When I try and sync up my ipod it freezes and it tells me that it can't read the usb device in my computer.
    When I run the diagnostics it tells me that there isn't an ipod connected.
    When I reboot it, then it works ok.
    I always have to restore my ipod.
    Has anyone experience this problem? What can I do?
    Thanks

  • Premiere pro 2014 freezes when I try to "insert" clip into timeline

    I just upgraded to 2014, 1 out of 4 times, when I try to insert a clip onto the timeline the program freezes and I have to force quit. I thought it might be some sort of conflict with the previous version premiere, so I uninstalled. Still happens. Makes the program completely unusable.
