Ipod shuffle shuts down PC when put in USB port

Hello
I found a discussion on this topic from 2006 but there were no solutions. Hopefully in 2014 there is someone out there that can help me.
I have successfully synced, loaded and recharged ipod shuffle on PC. But this week I plugged in my ipod shuffle (early generation) into the USB port to recharge, the system shut down, and I got the "blue screen of death". Windows XP blue screen indicated there was some software or hardware that might cause harm to PC. I had to close PC by pressing button on tower. I tried couple more times and got same message. No harm has been done to PC as far as I can tell. I used the Safely Remove Hardware device and not sure it worked but removed shuffle. I did do this 2 or 3 times with same result each time. Ipod shuffle still works.
Thanks!

I have found the solution. I installed the most recent updates and it works now.

im not shure but if you get an 3.5 mm sterio headphone jack and plug that in your car and shuffle it should work just as good

MBP Shuts down immediately when put to sleep

Hi all,
When I either close the lid on my MacBook Pro or put it into sleep mode, or let it go into sleep mode on its own [overnight], it will shut down immediately with no warning. I've searched high and low to solutions to this problem. I've reset the SMC, no luck.
Help?
Matt

Hi Matt
Does it shut down so you have to boot from nothing, or does it show the last screen from before sleeping, in a greyed-out fashion? Your machine might be going into deep sleep and not just a nap.

IPod does not show up when connected to USB port; why?

My grandson has an iPod Shuffle.
Working with iTunes6, I connected the iPod to the USB port becasuse we wanted to get a print-out of the 75 songs there.
It did not show up in iTunes listing; why??
We know the songs are there; they can be played.
The iPod was identified back in February as "Valentino" on a different computer; I wish I had that machine because "Valentino" showed up on it.
BTW, I have now up-graded to iTunes7 but the iPod is not here to try it out.

A whole list!! Such as?
Besides, after reading the emails about iTunes7, I'm in no hurry to try anything right now.
I'll wait until iTunes7 gets stable.
If iTunes7 were to wipe out my ten year old grandson's 75 songs (as apparently it is very capable of doing) from his iPod, Apple can forget about him as a customer for a long, long, long time.

TS1702 All my games on ipod are shutting down right when they are started up. What do i do to fix that?

Can yall please help me fix the problem? I have ios 4.2.1 update for ipod 2g.

Have you tried a hard reset yet? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If that doesn't work, try downloading another free app from the App Store. This has been known to resolve the issue for a number of users.
Otherwise, see this article for more troubleshooting information.

My ipod keeps shutting down when I'm on exercise equipment

I've had three iPod shuffles shut down this week. It's very strange. One was a brand new 4th generation. I was on an elliptical machine at the gym and it stopped playing. I never got it started again and it's not charging or recognized by my computer. I've done everything it says online and it is just dead. Same thing happened to another 4th generation that is about a year old. But it has since charged and appears to work, but have not used it on exercise yet. Then today, I was using an older 2nd generation iPod and it shut down 25 or so minutes into my exercise on this same piece of equipment. Just went dead. Could there be some sort of electrical thing going on? Am I getting sweat into them? I have the clipped to my shorts and wonder if maybe my body is some how disabling them?

Hi bw1960,
If you are having issues with multiple iPod shuffles that stop responding during exercise, you may find the following article on resetting the iPod shuffle helpful. You may also want to try using them clipped to a different location, like an arm band, and see if the same issue occurs.

My ipod touch shut down for no reason. now when i try to turn it on again, it goes to the apple icon to the spinning wheel, then it repeats.

Try:
- 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.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod Touch Shuts down and Wifi stops working

I am having a huge pain in the butt issue. I loved the iPod touch for the first year I had it, after which I had a problem, but that was fine. I was in warranty and got a new one. A year later now, I am having another issue. It seems like the things are disposable! Not too impressed with Apple.
My iPod will shut down on its own every couple of days completely on its own, which I have heard is a common problem, but when I turn it back on, the date is set to December 31, 1969 (I believe this is the beginning of the Unix Calendar?), but everything else appears to be working. When I launch any apps that require wireless, they appear to work fine, but nothing loads. i.e. Safari loads the bar part way, email continually loads, but nothing happens, etc. The only way to get it back to normal is to go into iTunes and do a restore from a backup. I would like to go to factory defaults and start from scratch, but I have a tonne of data on there that I would need some way of getting off safely. I should also mention that when the iPod shuts down, the only way to restart it is to plug it in.
I can't seem to find anyone else who has had this problem. I would appreciate any help!
Thanks,
A

Thanks for the tip so far Lucas, but i am stuck at the "Connect to iTunes" screen of the recovery process. when i try to restore i was prompted that "The Ipod Software Update server could not be contacted". I am currently at work so i am wondering if i am being blocked from contacting the server because of the firewall and other network security measures. But again thanks at least i have some level of hope.

My macbook suddenly shut down, and when rebooted, imovie project was completely gone. No record of it at all. Have been working on it for days, and it has always been there. Any way to restore it? Thanks.

My macbook suddenly shut down, and when rebooted, imovie project was completely gone. No record of it at all. Have been working on it for days, and it has always been there. Other projects are still there. Any way to restore it? Thanks.

I figured it out!!!
Hey guys! Here's what I did that saved my project.
-SHORT VERSION-
Use the Finder window on your Mac to copy and paste your old project (the one not showing up in imovie) to a new folder so that iMovie will see it.
-LONG VERSION-
CONDITIONS:
The project has to exist on your hard drive. To see if it's hiding around somewhere go to:
Home (your name)>Movies>iMovie Library (right click and select Show Package Contents)
In the iMovie Library folder (the default is usually the date) open it to see if your Project is inside. If it is, you are in luck!
RESTORING PROJECT:
Open iMovie
start a new folder under the iMovie Library (again, the default is usually todays date)
Close iMovie
In the finder window (as explained above in the CONDITIONS section) select the files and folders of your project and copy them (in my case these consist of folders called Analysis Files, Original Media, "MYPROJECT", Render Files, Shared Items)
There should now be a folder with today's date in that Show Package Contents folder.
Paste a copy of your project;s files into this folder.
When it is done copying, open up the "Original Media" folder and all of your images and clips should be present.
reopen iMovie. Your project should show up in the Libraries list.
*If your full project isn't showing in the iMovie timeline (mine just had empty bubbles where all my clips and audio should be) try dragging and dropping the clips and images from the project's "Original Media" folder into the import section of your project. Once the files were reimported, iMovie recognized them all and put them back in the correct place for me.
Hope this helps someone!

I have a iPhone 4 and lately it has been shutting down randomly when I still have battery left. It also doesn't turn back on, until I plug it in to the charger. But when I plug it in, the low battery sign shows up then comes to the lock screen with 68%.

IPod Nano shuts down randomly and doesn't restart unless connected

This happened to me two days ago. I was working on a pool listening to a podcast, with the iPod in my pocket. I was wearing black pants and it was very hot, so I'm not sure if it's simply an issue of overheating, but what happened was while I was listening to the podcast the iPod completely shut down. I took it out of my pocket and tried to reset it holding the menu and center buttons, but the iPod wouldn't respond to this. The iPod was completely charged the night before so I'm sure this isn't an issue. I took it home and hooked it up to my computer and it worked fine. But today, it did the same thing, listening to the same podcast (TalkRadar) and wouldn't respond to the menu and center buttons again, but it responded to plugging it in to the computer. Something else happened, too, the iPod would turn on and off randomly even while connected to the computer and I would have to unplug the iPod and re-plug it back in. Does anybody have an idea of what the problem is? I want to know whether or not I should send it in for repair.

If resetting or restoring the ipod does not work, take it to an Apple Store. Let the staff examine it. If you have Apple Care, call them.
