IPod wiped itself, freezes the computer

Hey my iPod now doesnt work, it sometimes turns on properly, sometimes it doesnt. It has wiped all its music, although the info option states that it still has 18.3gb used. Whenever i plug it into the computer the comp freezes up and if it doesnt it slows down until i run anything to do with the iPod which then causes the computer to freeze. Therefore i dont know how to fix it. Any ideas would be very appreciated...
Cheers
Nate

  • Ipod will not sync to itunes, just stops half way and freezes the computer

    my ipod has suddenly stopped syncing to itunes half way through and freezes the computer. it is not the songs because they sync to my phone. how can i fix this?

    Have you tried plugging the Nano into another available USB port or using another USB sync cable?  Does it seem to be freeze when syncing the same track?
    I assume iTunes is up to date (10.7 at the time of this writing).

  • I have just bought an ipod classic, I already have an ipod nano.  The new ipod was connected to the computer to charge and it named itself with my name on the old nano, how do I get the computer to recognise the new one

    I have just bought an ipod classic, I already have an ipod nano.  The new ipod was connected to the computer to charge and it named itself with my name on the old nano, how do I get the computer to recognise the new one?

    My mistake, it was nothing to do with format.  It woldn't sync because my movies were HD.  HD movies won't sync to an iopd classic 160 GB but when you purchase a HD movie, itunes gives you a SD vervsion of the movie which is compatible with the ipod.  Just needed to go to store, click movies, click purchased and untick the HD box and there you have the SD versions.  Download the SD versions and then sync your ipod and bobs you uncle, movies are on the ipod

  • My iPod will charge in the computer but not my iPod dock, my sisters iPod dock or the wall charger. My sisters iPod will charge in all and we both have the same sofware and generation. Why won't mine charge?

    My Ipod will charge in the computer but noy my iPod dock, my sisters iPod dock or the wall charger. My sisters iPod will charge in all and we both have the same software and generation. Why won't mine charge?

    Look the dock connector on your iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corred contacts, foreign material and cracked/broken plastic.
    Try:
    - A 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 settings/new iPod

    Apparently I wasn't clear.  The music on my ipod is but a subset of all the music on my external hard drives.  I want to import only the songs and playlists from my existing ipod into the itunes library on my new computer, which currently has no music or playlists.  How can I do this?

    What happens when you try?
    Can you sync music?
    Have you synced apps from this computer/iTunes library before? You an only sync app from the one syncing computer you can have.
    Are the apps compatible with your model iPod/iOS
    Do you have restrictions set that would prevent installation of those apps?

  • Cannot charge my daughter's ipod touch nor does the computer even realize it is hooked up to the USB cable

    cannot charge my daughter's ipod touch nor does the computer acknowledge that it is plugged into the USB cable.

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    or
    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 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.

  • Firefox freezes the computer for about 20-30 seconds (not even Alt+Tab works), the screen blinks black and then it shows the desired page. Does that several times at the beginning, then sort of stabilizes.

    Firefox freezes the computer for about 20-30 seconds (not even Alt+Tab works), the screen blinks black and then it shows the desired page. Does that several times at the beginning, then sort of stabilizes.
    This happens even if I simply hover the mouse over bookmarks, not even opening a page.
    And waiting for this to happen some times or closing and re-opening seems to make it work ok again.
    I've already disabled almost all add-ons (I'm using only one for Flash and NoScript right now), reinstalled Firefox (8.0.1), restoring only the bookmarks from an older version.

    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • Adobe used to be choppy and would finally freeze the computer

    I can't figure out how to update my earlier post so I posted again.  For months Flash would be choppy on both video and audio play.  Recently it would freeze the computer completely and a hard reset was the only answer.  I tried the forums and was directed to the troubleshooting page.  I followed that advice but found it made no difference. And device manager confirmed all drivers were up to date and working properly.  I was going to have to reformat.  As a last resort I did a search for drivers, but identifuying each of the componenets correctly I found to be impossible  Finally one search turned up DriverMax.  I know nothing about them but CNet gave them a favorable review.  I had nothing to lose so I used it.  After updating 7 "newly discovered" drivers, Adobe finally works perfectly.  This is a bit disconcerting as the Troubleshooiting page only tells you to update drivers, and Device Manager tells you they are all up to date.  I won't trust it again.   I recommend you try this site and let us know if you have the same very positive experience I had.  Maybe I am just lucky.  Thanks

    Yes, and it is an impressivem clear and comprehensive interface. Scan once and it produces a list of outdated drivers.  You can download two a day free. It will create a Restore Point, you approve the install, you restart, test and then do the next one.  You have to initiate/approve each step before they are implemented.  Out of 7 drivers installed I only had to roll back one.  I have tried the manufacturers site for updates before but the hardware, software and compatibility issues made it very problematic.  I can't rebuild a transmission either and don't plan to learn how.  And Windows always tells you the drivers are up to date.  I have never had a Windows driver update produce one new driver.  I have tried that properties/update drivers many times over the last 20+ years, and never saw one succeed.
    Anyway, it is worth looking into.  Let us know.

    Hi,
    If there is no light on the front of the iPod shuffle when connected to the computer, try in another USB port.
    Check for the front status light and battery status light when it is not connected to the computer.
    If you have determined that there are no lights then send the iPod shuffle for service at http://depot.info.apple.com/ipodshuffle/
