Ipod Mini that shut down Windows XP Home

Let me describe what I just went through. My daughter's 4 GB mini was wiped I think anyway she has asked me to set it up on the "family" computer. I updated iTunes and then proceeded to update the software on her mini. When it asked to restart my computer I hit yes... big mistake as my XP home machine would restart and then shut down immediately. Finally I went to the system restore and set it to yesterday. What happened and how can I prevent this from occuring again?

hi Chantilly Hokie!
... i'd rather we didn't try provoking a blue screen again, given that you get one of those horrible BSODs on Windows restart.
so we'll nibble around the edges for a bit.
first off, by any chance do you have an early version of Easy CD creator (either a 4.0 or a 5.0) installed on the PC?
(i usually check for this with BSODs (especially 0x50s) under slightly different circumstances, but certain problems with XP and the Easy CD creators seem to flare up after an itunes install or upgrade.)
love, b

  • IPOD mini keeps shutting down suddenly.

    My ipod mini suddenly shows Battery low and shuts down. If i turn it back on in 2 to 3 minutes then it no longer shows battery low, continues playing. This happens every now and then. Also, sometimes the songs skip half a second or so. What can I do???
    It is still under Warrenty

    Assuming that you always keep the battery charged, you should reset and/or restore the iPod.
    If the situation persists, then you should take it to an Apple store (if you can) and get it checked out, or return it for service.

  • How Can i turn on my ipod if it shut down and my home button doesnt work?

    Im not sure what to do if my ipod won turn on after it shut off randomly and my home button doesnt work.help?

    You can use the Power button to wake the iPod so yu cn then unlock the iPod.
    Next try connecting the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes.
    You can also use theis program to place the iPod in recovery mode without using switches.

    If yuo have iOS 5 you can, when the iPod is working, use Assistive Touch accessibility feature to do most functions without the Home button. (Settings>General>Accessibility>Assistive Touch).

  • My ipod touch completely shut down after i tried to update the software. It won't respond at all. Any advice?

    Hi, I was updating my apple software and my ipod touch completely shut down. I got an error message that my ipod touch could not be restored. what the ????
    please help. it wont start at all, no power. itunes doesn't even recognize it anymore.

    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 the screen blacks out or 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.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow 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."

  • Transfer songs from a ipod mini that was created from another account

    I bought a used ipod mini that came loaded with over 400 songs which I would like to add to my itunes MAC account. The ipod mini is in Windows format and I understand that at sometime in the future I will have to restore the ipod mini in order to convert the device from Windows to MAC format thereby losing all the songs and data that are currently on the ipod. My itunes level is 7.6.1. I am running OS X 10.4.5.
    Is there any way to transfer or upload the songs from this device to my IMAC itunes account even though the songs were purchased and downloaded to the device by the original owner using his Windows itunes account.
    Thank You.

    Since you did not purchase the songs, they are not legally yours to keep.

  • Frequent "Firefox has encountered a problem and needs to shut down" window. Need to disable adblock plus and AVG safe search to continue. Any way to fix?

    For about a third of websites I visit, at some point I receive a "Firefox has encountered a problem and needs to shut down" window. I have to disable both Adblock plus and AVG safe search in order to continue. This used to happen for two or so sites, and I disabled the ad-ons before going to those sites. It has increased to the point that the adblock plus and safe search ad-ons are becoming pretty useless. Is there any way to rectify this problem. Sending error reports has no effect.

    Have you changed anything in the Photoshop installation areas?  If the updater doesn't find a pristine installation it will fail.
    The only area you should ever put anything into is the plug-ins subfolder.  Everything else is hands-off.

  • My brand new 6th gen ipod nano keeps shutting down after about 30 seconds?

    My new 6th generation ipod nano keeps shutting down after 30 seconds. It has been registered with itunes and has about 200+ songs on it. I have not tried to reset it because i was not sure what this would do. Please help!

    This is usually a sign that your headphones are not plugged all the way in.  Make sure you cannot see any silver still showing from the headphone's plug.  It may require a little extra force to get the headphones to become fully inserted.  You should hear a sort of clicking noise indicating that they have been fully seated.
    Also check the headphone port from a damage or debris.

    The thing is, this MUST be an Audition CC issue for two reasons. One, everything worked fine in CS6, which I was using right before I upgraded to CC. I even did a clean install of it by removing CS6 completely.
    All versions of Audition can co-exist on the same machine quite happily - there is no interaction between them at all, and the system was designed to be like this. So there's nothing to stop you keeping CS5.5, CS6, CC and even Audition3 on the same machine.
    The other thing I'm wondering about is Windows 8. There have been a considerable number of complaints about this doing weird things, including with Audition. I have a system that in many ways is very similar to yours, except that I don't overclock the mobo, and use a professional sound device (or two) with it (RME). The major difference though is that I use Windows 7 pro 64-bit, and I haven't had any of these problems at all. Yes I use it for a living, as well, but I don't bother with multiple DAWs - don't have time for all that these days. But I do use iZotope's RX software in its standalone mode without any difficulty.
    I'm not claiming that  Audition CC is trouble-free - any number of Mac users will confirm that - but people running it on W7 certainly seem to have far fewer problems with it. It may also be worth trying an uninstall-reinstall of CC - you never know. But differences in preview quality certainly point towards audio drivers, I'm afraid...

  • Virtualized servers get stuck at "Shutting down Windows Modules Installer service ..."

    Hi,
    I have a Windows 2008 R2 (no service pack) server that has been virtualized last summer and since then:
    - Windows Update does not download any updates (it says Cancelled for every update in the Update History)
    - When I reboot the vm, it gets stuck on "Shutting down Windows Modules Installer service ..." and I have to cold-Reset the vm to get it working again.
    I tried running Windows Update Standalone Installer (Windows6.1-KB947821-v20-x64.msu) on the machine, but that gets stuck on "searching for updates"...
    I tried stopping the Windows Update service but that doesn't work either, it says that the service is not responding...
    I'm not sure what to try next, I'd appreciate any pointers.
    Thanks a lot,
    Guillaume

  • Skype Crashed when shutting down Windows with ASUS Xonar audio

    This has been a problem for a while now. Various updates have (temporarily) fixed it only to have another update come along and re-break it.  Every time I shut down windows 8.1 Skype prevents windows from shutting down because it's crashed and I have to click OK he get skype to go away so my system will shut down or reboot. It's quite annoying.

    I checked this again and found out that the issue is still here.
    I have an assumption that the issue is related to the hybrid power off mode, that was presented in windows 8. As you know, starting from windows 8, your windows never shuts down completely. Memory of the system session (ring 0) is dumped to the disk on windows shut down, and loaded on next windows start. This approach gives us less start up time, but works only if hardware not changed during the shutdown. When you restart your windows it shuts down completely and you can see the difference in a boot time. Because of this new mode windows creators moved some drivers from system session to the user session (printers etc).
    When I disabled all sounds in the skype settings I got following behavior:error appears on shutdownerror doesn't appears on restart.

  • My iPad mini keeps shutting down.

    Ever since we got a new modem, new router and new ISP, my iPad mini keeps shutting down, and disconnecting from the internet.  When it disconnects, if I go to settings and try to re-connect, it just shuts down. This happens quite often...every ten or fifteen minutes. Our other iPad is fine. Once when we re-booted the router, I was fine for a whole day. I tried that again today, but it didn't help.

    Hey Thifobia,
