IPod touch causes "blue screen" crash on connection

So, following a defrag on my XP based pc, when I connect my iPod touch to the pc via USB, the PC immediately blue screens. (STOP 0x0000007E 0xc00000005 0x00000000 0xf78ed7c4 0xf78ed4c0).
I suspect it may be the iPod touch USB driver? Is that likely? If so, how do I remove the corrupt driver and reinstall?
Thanks

Thankfully, after a few changes and reviewing some of the other posts in this excellent forum, I have resolved the problem. It had nothing to do with the defrag at all. What I had omitted was that prior to the blue screen, I had installed the free Photoshop Mobile App from Adobe. By editing and saving a photo, a new directory was created in the photo albums. Then when I connected the iPod to my PC, for reasons best known to Aple (but see various other threads in this forum) the pc thought the iPod was a camera, and tried to load a USB camera driver. I assume this must have conflicted with an existing USB driver on my pc, causing it to "blue screen". By totally removing the app and the new album on my iPod, I was able to make my pc recognise the iPod as an iPod again. Shame, I thought the photoshop app was good, but I shall avoid it (and any other app that creates albums / photos) in future.
Is there any obvious way to alert Apple to these sort of problems with third party apps - or possibly with their OS on the iPod which should be able to stop errors like this?

  • Ipod touch causing blue screen

    I'm new here so I hope I explain this properly. I have the latest version of itunes installed on my computer with a 1G nano. I just got a ipod touch. I pluged it into my usb port like I did with the nano and it moved all my music onto the touch. The problem now is when i try to plug the touch back into my computer it boots out and goes to the blue screen and says an unexpected error ocured and one or more disks need to be scaned. The computer boots back up and all is well until I try and plug the touch back in and the same thing happens.
    Any help would be great.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    If not sucessful try:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Access to istore causes blue screen crash

    I am running an ipod and itouch - PC is Windows XP.
    With the newest version of itunes, everything works fine between itunes on the PC and the devices, EXCEPT trying to access the store for music or podcasts. I see the headings of the store displayed, then I get a blue screen crash. This happens with the devices attached, or not.

    The first thing to do is get the error codes from the crash.
    Here is an older post from b noir that explains how to find the error codes.

  • Clicking on firefox icon causes blue screen crash

    This began Friday, Feb. 25, about mid day. The only changes to the system that morning were an update to an Adobe plugin, either Flash player or Shockwave, I'm not sure, and an update to the Scottrade Elite desktop trading app. Both of those changes occurred about 0900. The problems began about 1130 when the system, Windows 7 Home Premium had a blue screen crash. From that time on, I have uninstalled each of the apps mentioned. I cannot open Firefox to work on the plugins becuase every time I click on the icon I get a blue screen crash with the words "Page fault in non paged area" at the top. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the Firefox app with no apparent beneficial effect. The Scottrade trading app has been reinstalled and works well, causing no further probs.

    Hello mrcart,
    i think it is unlikely that firefox itself is causing an operating system crash, i had some time back an similar issue where a system of a friend of mine was crashing while using IE - thats the only app he used ... the system in his case had faulty ram, and i suspect you are facing some sort of hardware problem or faulty device driver.
    Please read this (also lists steps what you can do):
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc957625.aspx
    (personally) I would suggest you start by checking your ram, you can do this in two ways:
    Search in your Windows 7 Start Menu for "ram", you should find something like "Diagnose your computer´s memory problems"
    ... Or, you use the memtest86+ tool from here (e.g. download the iso, burn it and boot from the cd):
    http://www.memtest.org/
    Check your eventlog for errors (e.g. disk errors, timeouts, etc).
    If you cannot track the problem down (i would suspect a hardware problem or faulty device driver ... e.g. it could be your video card driver doing something wrong) you should seek help at your computer manufacturer, an experienced friend, or using some forum.
    kind regards,
    John Kirk.

  • 3rd Gen 32GB iPod Touch Caushes iTunes to crash when connected.

    I just bougth a brand new iPod touch 32GB model Number A1318
    I connected it to my iMac with OS X 10.6.1 and iTunes 9.0
    It detects the new iPod touch and activate it.
    But itunes crashes, so I can not sinc with it.
    How do I fix this?
    I tried reinstalling iTunes and iPod support from the Snow Leopard DVD, with no luck.

    Hi,
    I just want to get in on this one as well because I have the exact same problem. (ipod touch 3rd gen -recently purchased- itunes 9.01 crashes)
    When I go to sync my ipod, iphoto will open by default. I am able to see my ipod in the iphoto device list, but I cannot access it - I can only eject it. What is more, itunes will always crash at the same time. I am unable to reopen it.
    The only workaround I have right now is that if I delete all the content/settings on my ipod, I am able to re-sync it with itunes. The next time I want to sync it however, I will have to repeat the reset (not ideal!).
    If anyone has any help I would appreciate it.

  • Blank CD's cause blue screen crashes?

    I\'m running W7 on a Pavilion Slimline s5213w using HP DVD R 16x 4.7Gb Data disks. The problem is that with brand new, straight out of the box cd\'s, about half of them work and half cause an almost immediate blue screen crash. All I do is insert a disk and then in Computer either double click or right click the cd reader and Computer freezes. Then no matter what I do I get a blue screen. This problem seems to be in the disks and not the drive but I can\'t see how a disk could be so poisonous to the computer unless there is something wrong with the disk software. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello JCV,
    You’re having problems with the computer crashing every time that you try to use a disk.
    Go into device manager and uninstall the DVD drive. There could be a problem with the driver.
    Here is a link to device manager.
    Also go to HP.com and update the optical drive.
    Here is a link to both updates.

  • Cisco VPN Client causes blue screen crash on WindowsXP Pro (Satellite M30)

    Hi there,
    I've got a Satellite Pro M30 running Windows XP Professional.
    After starting a vpn Tunnel via a Cisco VPN Client (Version 4.6 and 4.7) the system crashes with a blue screen.
    I can see that the key exchange is successful, but immediatly after the vpn connection gets established Windows XP crashes with a blue screen.
    Has anyone an idea, how to solve this problem?
    Maybe by device driver update? And if so, which driver should be updated?
    Kind regards,
    Thorsten

    Hi R2D2 (and anyone else)!
    1st of all (concerning your link) - I'm not using the wireless adapter.
    I am connectet via 100Mbit via network-cable to my hub (all RJ45 TP Cat.5)
    I found several other Notebook users by google'ing who have the same problem different vpn-clients but most of them with a centrino processor inside the notebook.
    Almost all of them solved the problem by installing new drivers. But I can't use driver-patches from other Notebook to fix my Toshiba Drivers.
    What could help is information about which driver is responsible for the crash by vpn clients on centrino notebooks. Maybe there is an Intel driver for it, but when I do not know which one causes the problem it's like seeking a needle in a haystack... :(
    Disabling ALL other network devices (wireless, 1394-network adapter, modem, etc.) did not solve the problem.
    I used the Cisco VPN clients several times on my old Compaq Notebook without any problems, but here it just doesn't work.
    An idea which driver should be updated is kindly welcome!
    Thank you, Thorsten

  • IPOD sync causes Blue Screen of Death

    Every time I plug in my IPOD to sync I get a message about Drive x not being present. options are cancel, retry or continue. Any option just produces the message again for approx. 3 tries then my entire system goes to Blue Screen of Death and starts dumping memory. If I reboot with the IPOD still connected nothing happens. PC will not reboot until IPOD is disconnected.
    I'm currently at I-Tunes 10.1.2.17
    Thanks

    Just in case you're still around, bubba ...
    What text and numerical codes are you getting on the blue screen? If it's mentioning a specific filename too, let us know what that is too.
    For example:
    STOP 0x00000023 (0x000f00b5, 0xfc4af978, 0xfc4af7b4, 0xfeff4a6b)

  • Audigy 2 Value causing blue screen crashes in Fallout 3

    A couple days ago I updated all my drivers and soon after realised that something was causing Fallout 3 to crash to a blue screen. After hours of trial and error I narrowed it down to the new Audigy driver cause when i uninstall the sound card the game works perfectly (except that there's no sound). I've tried rolling back to the drivers I was using before but for some crazy reason it's still crashing.
    Another crazy thing is that no other game or program is having this problem.
    Anyone have some advice or ideas about what to do?

    wow....so I sent an email in to tech support asking for help with this problem and all I get in response is an email telling me that based on the information I provided they won't even look at my problem cause i'm no longer covered by the warranty....what a bunch of crap....
    0 years of buying Sound Blaster sound cards, more than 8 of them during that time, and the first time I have a problem with one this is what I get?

  • CS 4 installation causes blue screen crash when printing

    I installed CS 4 successfully and used it for months with no difficulty at work.  This weekend, I brought my computer home to do some work, and everytime I send something to my printer/scanner (a Canon MP780), my computer (IBM ThinkPad laptop running on Windows XP) crashes with a blue screen error.  When I try to use the scanner, I get the same problem.  I have reinstalled printer driver and USB port drivers, with no change to the problem.  I finally uninstalled CS 4, and was able to print and scan normally.  When I re-installed the Adobe software, the crashing began again.  The crashing does not happen when I am using the Adobe software, only when I try to print or scan any document from any software - then it happens consistently.  When the Adobe software is off, no problems.  Anyone have advice?

  • Firefox Causes "BLUE SCREEN CRASH"

    Hello There.
    To my utter dismay I am forced to use Chrome to access this forum. The reason is the moment I use Firefox (3) my computer crashes and I get the dreaded windows blue screen. I have been using ff for a long time now without problems. Yesterday I updated adobe flash player, but have now uninstalled flash player in the hope that the problem is resolved. No luck. I can use my computer in normal manner without problems, but the moment I use ff it crashes

    I have this problem too, just installed Windows 7 Home Premium x64 two days ago. Yesterday I did a massive windows update and I believe the BSODs started after that. I've isolated it down to Firefox, partly because I had a similar problem with Vista x64 prior to the Win 7 upgrade and had removed Firefox from the machine completely w/o giving it too much thought.
    Last night I found a way that 100% crashes windows within 5 mins, 5 times in a row, open firefox, open certain tabs and just wait. BSOD.
    Note I also use Thunderbird but that doesn't seam to crash windows.
    I found two separate threads on other forums suggesting this might have something to do with fonts. Not sure why Firefox is the only application suffering from it though. So from another thread following steps were suggested that are shown below, I haven't tried these. Another user on a different forum suggested running windows repair and through that somehow fixing the fonts. I'll report later if this issue helps solve the problem.
    1. this may seem random, but might be worth a shot... i think this problem
    often occurs because of registry errors with the fonts... this solution fixes
    that. if you browse to windows/fonts and immediately get a blue screen, then
    the fonts are your problem
    2. first try going to control panel > fonts >font settings (on left) > restore
    default fonts
    3. if you can't access fonts in the control panel then try this... in explorer go
    here: \\%COMPUTERNAME%\C$\Windows\Fonts (replacing %computername% with your computername).
    4. then hit ctrl+a to select all the fonts.
    5. once they're all selected right click and select "install".
    6. when the dialogue box pops up saying that "[such and such] font is
    already installed, would you like to reinstall it?" click the box for "do this for
    all current items", and hit "yes"
    7. reboot (just for grins), and you should be good to go
