IPod Touch reboots computer

Agggggg! Every time I plug in my iPod touch to the computer, one of two things happen. 1. It won't recognize the device. or 2. It says it's a "Digital Camera" and after 2-3 seconds the computer "Reboots". I've checked out most all of the posts but none have the "reboot" problem. I've removed iTunes twice (per website instructions)and downloaded the latest version but still nothing. I can't keep the computer from "Rebooting" long enought to check anything else out. I've tried a new cable and plugged it into the USB port on the back of my PC and still zip. This didn't happen until I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes 3 days ago and when I tryed to use it for the first time, (to delete a downloaded Podcast) iTunes would start up OK but as soon as I plugged my IPod into the USB Port of the computer I would get a message saying it was a "Digital Camera" and then the computer would "Reboot". The Ipod works "OK" otherwise. I did download my first "Podcast" and it was from Disney and I did it through the iPod using iTunes on the iPod with "WIFI" but the prodcast won't play as it says it is not the right "Format" (even when I used iTunes to do it in the first place) so I was going to use iTunes on my computer to delete it because you can't delete it on the iPod itself and now I can't get the iPod to connect to the computer.
Hay, I'm 64 with little hair and I'm about to pull the rest out.... Help!
Thanks

I get the same problem of reboot on one (a Dell dimension 5150 under W XP Home family SP3) of my pcs when I usb-plug my ipod touch 4.
I've read a lot of posts (from Apple or not), I've followed exactly what it is written on drivers update, iTune update and so on ...
After 3 days of experiences ...
and thancks to your post, I succeed to (quite) avoid this reboot ... while my ipod is usb-plugged (it's a speed game between the device manager and my mouse!)
If I win the game , I succeed to uninstall the camara driver that appears in Imaging device (and that is the source of the reboot problem!) and then (I've time to) update the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.
But, if I unplug and plug my ipod again, the camera driver appears again ... and hooups!! again a reboot (if ....).
So, my question is: how to fix definitively the uninstallation of the camera driver that appears under Imagin device when I usb-plug my Ipod ?
remark A: This problem of reboot appears once I got my firt photos with my Ipod touch.
remark B: All work fine on my mobile PC, under W7.

iTunes has taken my money but no song has been downloaded onto my ipod touch or computer, How do I get my song or money back?
I cannot seem to trace where the purchase went but it money is gone from account and I have no song.
Please help!

Starting at the end:
- When the movie or tv show does transfer onto your iphone/ipod touch you will be able to see it in the expanded view of your device in the "DEVICES" section.
- If the files are not on your device, then:
-- confirm you have SD or HD-SD video. HD-only content will not play and probably will not even sync. iTunes seems to reliably have SD versions with their HD distributions so this should not be an issue
-- confirm you are synch-ing the content to the ipod device by browsing the DEVICE view's Movie or TV Show tabs to confirm the movie or episode is 'checked'
- If the files are on the iPod and you cannot find them, check your Settings: General for Restrictions. If you restrict, for example the movies to "G" rating. PG and higher movies will sync but you will not be able to find them on the iPod!

4G iPod Touch Reboots during Sync

My 4th generation iPod touch reboots several times during the sync process. It doesn't seem to affect the synchronization, as the iPod and Mac do seem to synchronize correctly. Running OSX 10.6.5 and iTunes 10.1 (54); iPod contents are 1293 songs, 1035 apps, no podcasts, 39 books & 71 photos. Also, iPod has about 3GB free out of 64GB

Do you receive an error message? If so, what is it?

My ipod touch reboots over and over after updating to 5.1 firmware

I have a 3rd generation 32gb ipod touch that up until recently worked just fine. In order to download use an app I was required to update to 5.1, prior to this I had never updated the firmware so it was using whatever version was on there when I purchased it in 2010. After the update my ipod started randomly rebooting, this happens even if it is just sitting there doing nothing. It happens so often that in a 24 hour period my battery went from full to empty even though I was not even using it. I've tried using the restore option and starting it as a new ipod about 5 times now but it just continues to happen. I also tried downloading and installing older firmware but I get a 3194 error. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

I would try deleting the existing firmare update file on yur computer and then try restoring the the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. If yu still have the problem then it is likely due to a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Ba ro of an Apple store is in order. The update file is located here:

IPod Touch reboots PC

Everytime I plug my new iPod Touch into my desktop and turn it on, it reboots my PC. I downloded the latest iTunes and I used this same computer all the time with my 80G Video iPod.
I tried plugging it in to my laptop (Windows XP) and there is no problem.
Any suggestions?

Sorry - the desktop runs on XP home edition and the laptop is XP Media Center.
I am running iTunes 7.6.2.9 on the desktop.

Ipod touch reboot?

I got an Ipod touch from a friend a while ago and it is a 4th generation touch. i tried to sync it to my computer and it wouldn't sync because it is already sync to too many computers and my friend is to lazy to un-sync my ipod so i tried to restore the ipod to factory settings but, it needs my friends old code but, she can't remember it.. So i need a way to reboot the ipod i think the most my friend would do would be check the email if she got a email from apple o a new password. I dont k now how to get an email sent to her or to me and i don't know any other ways of getting the password. so please help.

How to sync old voice memos from ipod Touch to computer

Due to a computer crash I lost all the voice memos on the computer. So, I wanted to sync the voice memos still on my ipod touch to the computer again. Unfortunately, sync music, include voice memos, doesn't do the trick. How can this be done?

Since the original computer crashed did you do the following:

You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library and your new (or rebuild computer) is a new computer/iTunes library.

How do I sync music from ipod touch to computer.

I have 5.5GB of music on my ipod touch that I copied from my own cd's to an old computer that are now on my ipod touch.

I have all the music on my ipod touch and it all works and I don't want to lose it if I sync. It says when I sync that all music on my ipod touch will be lost, it will only sync with the music on the computer. HELP.

Old iPod Touch, New Computer,

The last time I synced my 1st Generation iPod Touch was back in December. Since then, my Mac Mini has failed (hard drive wore out due to its age). I have since received a new MacBook Pro for college, and my iTunes library now holds all the media my Mac Mini held. Now here's the problem: I have since made several downloads on my iPod touch both before and after my Mac Mini failed. Upon syncing an older iPod, I was told I would need to erase its content before I can sync the new library. What I want to know is that when I sync my iPod Touch, will the content I've downloaded since its last sync be erased, or will it be picked up by my MacBook before it wipes the data?

Itunes wont recognize my 4th gen ipod touch but computer will

iTunes refuses to recognize my 4th gen. iPod touch. Both are up to date with software and ive restarted my computer, ipod, and itunes multiple times and done everything ive found online. the computer recognizes it and says its working properly, but itunes does not put it anywhere in the devices. nor can i find it.

You need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView to copy photos from photos synced to the iPod to a computer.
