IPod keeps shutting my computer down...

I have no idea what is happening! My iPod was working fine for about a year, and then about two weeks ago, I plugged my iPod in to sync it, and it showed that it was synced, so I ejected it and went on my merry way. When I got out to my car and turned my iPod on, all of my music had been erased. Several hours later, when I got home, I plugged my iPod in and iTunes didn't recognize it, then my computer went to a blue screen and shut down. It now does this every time I try to plug in my iPod with iTunes on.
Anyone have any ideas why this is happening or how I can fix it?

Bump!

  • Why does my Preview app keep shutting my computer down?

    For weeks now I've been reporting this issue to Apple but so far I haven't had any response or update fixes.  When I click on a picture file Preview attempts to open the file but then quits or shuts the computer down.  Any help with this?
    Here is a part of what I get on the REPORT:

    Hello,
    I wouldn't expect to hear from Apple or see any fixes for 10.5.x at all.
    Sadly that excerpt doesn't help me at all, we might get more info by having Console open before you try Preview...
    Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    Click on the top line we want, Shift plus click on the bottom line we want, CMD+c to copy, then paste the text in a reply with CMD+v
    A few dozen lines should be about right, hundreds or thousands won't likely be readable.

  • Itunes keeps shutting my computer down

    hi any clever people reading this : ) im havimg problems with itunes .tried updating to 6 tried changing settings on my wireless router but still shuts me down . shut down today when doing virus check with ad ware 6 . any ideas and help would be appreciated as I got this ipod for my son
    who is in bed after having an op .want to cheer him up by resolving his itunes problem . thank you : )

    tigerton,
    When you say "shut down" do you mean that computer shuts off or it blue screens (which usually means it reboots).
    Shutting off usually means that it's overheating. Check the fans, check the heat sink.
    The computer shutting itself off is a sign that it is overheating.
    Sometimes this is solved by a BIOS update. If you tell me the model / manufacturer of your computer (or motherboard), I can help you find out if there's a BIOS update.
    Clean out your fans on your computer. Clean out your heat sink. If there's a speed switch on your fans, make sure it's set to the highest setting.
    You might consider downloading a motherboard monitor that will let you see how hot the laptop is getting inside of it. There is a shareware one that might work for your computer at http://mbm.livewiredev.com/. Download the MBM 5 software. And this will let you keep track of the temperature inside your box.

    With the iPod still connected, try resetting it by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • Imprting cd tracks shuts my computer down after Itunes upgrade

    Updated to the latest Itunes 6.5. Anytime I try to rip songs and add them to my playlist, it shuts my computer down. Was not a problem on previous version of Itunes. I've tried 10 different cds and each one does the same thing. Any suggestions, or anyone know how to download an older version of Itunes? I searched the site, but it keeps sending me to the download page for Itunes 6.5. Thanks

    Sounds like some conflict in your system. Try going to the PC makers site, MANUALLY looking for updates to your model and downloading all updates they offer, especailly BIOs, chipset and firmware for the CD ROM.
    I say to manually look because some PC makers have some kind of "Auto update" software on the PC or there web site and they usually can not pick up the BIOs and things like it so even if theres an update you need it won't show it
    Do you get any flash of a blue screen with an error code when this happens?

    Download the latest version from here ONLY:

    also, make certain your Mac OS X software is completely up-to-date. There is a Trojan Horse that pretended to be a Flash update, and installed Flash with malware included. The latest security updates removes the malware and all older versions.

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    If you still have the problem then it appears that you have a hardware problem, maybe a battery problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • The cursor and scrolling are erratic to the point of having to shut the computer down, any suggestions?

    I have an imac that has erratic scrolling, it just scrolls to the bottom of the page or in whatever area the cursor is positioned at. It comes and goes and sometimes it's just best to shut the computer down to solve the issue. Any suggestions?

    Hi..
    Command + Option + Esc will prompt the Force Quit window.
    You can also force quit an app from your Apple menu top left in your screen or by using the Activity Monitor located in Applications/Utilities

  • Firefox won't start,but when I shut my computer down it says that it is running. What is the problem?

    Firefox will not open, but when I shut my computer down it says that it is running and must be forced quit. Once I rebute the computer it opens but is very slow and hang up on many web pages. I have reinstalled it with little help. In contrast, Windows Internet Explorer works fine.

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?<br />
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.<br />
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.<br />

  • ISight shuts my computer down...literaly!

    Hello,
    So the mystery of my iSight problem began a couple of days ago, when I unplugged the isight from my G4 10.3.9 and then plugged it into my G4 Powerbook 10.4.?. When I plugged iSight into the Powerbook my powerbook screen when black and then I had to restart it but my Powerbook never recognized the iSight at all. In the System profiler no device showed under Firewire.
    Cut to few days later...I just plugged in my iSight back into my G4 tower and as soon as I plugged it in (as if power failure) my computer shot down. Not only did it shut down, but I couldn't restart my computer ae all, it became unresponsive. I pressed my start button several times and eventually it did restart. I tried various ways of pluggin in my iSight and restart, etc., but it shut the computer down (as if shorted) everytime and/or when I plugged the iSight into the computer before starting it up, the computer would never start at all.
    What is going on??!?!? Does anyone have any ideas??? Please let me know!
    BTW, before this all transpired I was using the camera with iChat on regular basis with success...never a problem.
    Thanks,
    Karchi

     Your iSight might be damaged. Start by Testing your iSight to ensure it is functional. Apple's suggestions for trouble shooting and resolving common issues are there, too.
    If you cannot make your iSight does not work on any Mac with any software, take it and / or your Mac(s) for a professional check by your Apple Service Technician.
    If iSight works for some things but you cannot get the entire problem solved, post back what you did, what works, and what does not. We may be able to offer more focused suggestions based on your specifics.
