Itunes 8.1 crash when I plug my ipod

Since the update, everytime i plug my ipod nano 4th generation. Itunes crashes

Nutnbolt:
We need to get a crash log file to see where it's crashing. In order to get a crash log on Vista, you will need to enable crash logging.
Important: These steps involve making changes to the Windows registry using the Registry Editor (Regedit). Even if you are very comfortable editing the registry, you should make a backup of the registry prior to editing it. Making mistakes in Regedit can cause strange behavior and can even prevent Windows from starting. Look here for instructions on how to back up your registry in Windows Vista:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756
1. Open the Windows Start menu.
2. Type regedit in the search field and click OK.
3. In Registry Editor, navigate to HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes
4. Right-click on the iTunes folder and choose New > DWORD Value.
5. Name the new value "GenerateCrashLogs" without the quotation marks and press Enter.
6. Right-click GenerateCrashLogs and choose Modify.
7. Change Value data from 0 to 1.
8. Click OK.
Now, when iTunes crashes, a crash log file will be created. A message will appear telling you where to find the crash log file. Please email me that file, and make sure to include a link to this thread and the username you are using on Discussions.

iTunes 11 used to work fine, but now when I plug my iPod touch in to sync, iTunes stops responding, and I have to close it from Task Manager. Then when I open iTunes again, everything works fine until I plug my iPod in again a it crashes
Help?

Do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted by tt2, it wont fix your problem but help in troubleshooting, especially iPod Classic hardisk.

TS1425 itunes software locks up when I plug in ipod and it does not sync or appear in software?

iTune Software locks up when I connect my iPod Classic and it does not recognize iPod is connected and does not sync musice as it use to. Looking for ideas to try. Running updated iTune software and have reset iPod?

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.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
It also could be due to a defective Lightning cable. Other uses have had problems with the cable.

ITunes and iTuneshelper crash when I plug in my iPhone

I'm out of ideas on this problem...
Beginning yesterday, when I plug in my Iphone to sync it with iTunes, both iTunes and iTuneshelper crash, and Windows gives me the option to create a crash report. As a result I can no longer sync my iPhone with my Thinkpad.
No new software in the past several days, no other change in system stability. iTunes 9.0.3.15, iPhone OS 3.1.2, Windows XP SP3 with all updates applied.
Is there a log or dump file I can upload to help point to my problem?
Thanks in advance.

edit: I should add that when I plug in the iPhone, iTunes doesn't even get to the point of displaying its gui...it crashes on start and iTuneshelper goes with it. If I leave iTuneshelper not running and just re-run iTunes by manually starting it, it won't recognize the iPhone but doesn't crash, either, when I plug in the phone. I know iTuneshelper interfaces the phone to iTunes, so I guess something is going wrong in the iTuneshelper-iPhone exchange.

This is interesting: when I attempted to re-boot into safe mode I inadvertently booted into the Thinkpad Rescue and Recovery partition. The first thing it does is check the core OS files, and it found that ws2_32.dll was corrupted. It replaced the file and I re-booted Windows in normal mode. After it finished booting I plugged in the iPhone and up came iTunes. The phone synced and I'm back in business.
I'm going to take a look at the article you just pointed to, never heard of that tool. Hopefully Windows remains stable and whatever corrupted ws2_32.dll was a one-time actor.
Thanks for your help here, you got me headed down the right path.

TS1363 my iTunes crashes when i plug my iPod in, and won't recognise it. My computer does, why not iTunes?!?!

...So I sort of said it all in the title.
My iTunes which is up to date freezes as soon as I plug my iPod in, I've had this problem on my last laptop
and now again on this new one, so its not my computer. Both computers recognise the device as an iPod but both iTunes freeze.
AND it started doing this on the day that the guy who invented apple died O____O
Anyway ANY AND ALL help would be a life saver, I'm sick of pretending I'm fine sitting on the bus listening to the hubbub of LND!

My iPod is Causing my PC to crash when I plug the iPod Touch in.

I've plugged my iPod Touch into my laptop (USB) port and it immediately caused my laptop to crash.
I allowed the PC to reboot and tried again in a different port with the same results.
Any suggestions as what may be the problem.
Never had a hint before that this might happen.
The iPod is only 2 months old.
Thanks.

Thanks again for your interest in my problem AndrewT.
Ok you mentioned three things:
1. Uninstalling the ACER camera.
2. latest version of iTunes and
3. Printer.
Regarding the uninstalling the camera - I haven't done that but worth a try. When I initially plug the iPod in it comes up as a camera (not as an iPod as it should do). I don't use the camera a lot so maybe thats the way to try and see what happens.
Regarding the latest version of iTunes - yes I've got that no problem and regarding the printer - seldom used and hasn't been used since well before this problem came about.
I'm getting more convinced that its a Microsoft Update that's causing it. I read somewhere about this but can't remember where now.
I had to again reload all the software because of other problems i.e. back to original recovery, so while loading the new software I tried the iPod touch and yes it worked. However, with all reloading of sofware there was the usual updating and after loading a number of these updates together I tried again and as expected the blue screen again.
Needless to say I'm rather frustrated at this outcome but won't give up as yet.
Thanks for your continued interest. Maybe between us we'll get it solved. It doesn't appear that others have this problem and Apple Support have never heard of it.

Computer Crashes when I plug in Ipod Nano

I have a brand new ipod nano - I loaded in itunes and ripped my music for old cds.
When I plug in my new ipod via usb my computer crashes - I have tried multiple usb connections on my pc

done

My computer that has iTunes on it crashed and I plugged my iPod Touch into it after it had crashed. Now it says it needs to be connected to iTunes.

After my computer with iTunes on crashed I plugged my iPod Touch into the computer. It then said that it needs to be connected to iTunes but i can't connect it as the computer deleted iTunes and doesn't work. Please help.

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

Itunes won't synch when I plug in ipod. I have Win 8. It worked with Win 7

It worked when I had Win 7. The music is in Ituned, but won't go on the Ipod touch. I also have Ipod Nano 4 & same thing. I thot I updated Itunes to work with Win 8, but how do I make sure?
Thank you

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
Ifg iTunes does not see the iPod
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

IMac crashes when I plug my iPod in!

Hello,
Seems that 10.6 might be causing some trouble for many of you out there and perhaps I am one of them. Currently, I am unable to plug in my iPod Touch nor my mouse into the USB ports in the back. Doing so will cause the computer to restart. This has happened both in OS 10.6 and using Boot Camp.
However, I am able to plug my iPod Shuffle into the USB ports on the keyboard no problem. What I have done so far is used Disk Utility to Verify and the Repair Disk Permissions. This takes a long time and each time I've done it, I get a lot of repairs going on; many in the "System/Library/Java" category. And not all of these are able to be repaired. (At least not for the last time Disk Utility ran.)
So do any of you have suggestions? Reading the forums, it seems like a lot of people are blaming 6.6 for their troubles. Well, my computer has started acting hinky over the past couple/three months but I couldn't pin it exactly to the latest update.
Thanks.
Brian

Try to narrow it down even further. Disconnect everything, including the keyboard, and add things back one at a time, keyboard last.
The built-in hubs of keyboards have been known to be wonky. It is possible that for some reason it (or another peripheral device) is drawing too much power.

Computer crashes when I plug my iPod in.

Location: PA
Hey guys, I was wondering if you could give me a hand.
Every time I plug my iPod into the computer, the computer restarts and won't start back up, as in it'll get past the Windows symbol loading screen and restart again.
Do any of you have any idea on what to do?
I've already tried using a different USB cable and a plugging it into a different USB port.
Thanks in advance.

seriously? not one single person knows?

ITunes keeps crashing when I plug my iPod classic in or open the store

I've had the following issues with iTunes for the past month or so (I think it has been 2 updates maybe?...):
1, iTunes crashes as soon as I try to open the iTunes store.
2, iTunes crashes as soon as I plug in my iPod classic.
I have rebuilt my iPod. I have scanned/checked the properties (from the Computer area where external devices are displayed). I have opened iTunes in safe mode. I have reinstalled the program following the order suggested on other threads.
I'm lost for any other ideas as to how I can sort this. Is there a fix, or am I going to be looking at a more expensive solution?
I really don't want to risk anything when it comes to my iPad or iPhone so I don't know if it's iTunes or my iPod unfortunately.

I don't want to be the bringer of bad news, but these where the symptoms I was getting just before my iPod's hard drive failed (80gb classic).
I tried to restore it, and that seemed to work for a few days. But then it just stopped responding to iTunes, locking up iTunes, and finally wiped its own memory then nothing.
It powered up ok, but did noting else.
It was years out of warranty, getting it repaired by Apple is never cost effective. so I sold it on eBay and upgraded to a new 160gb.
I'm not giving you a definite reason, just my experience.

ITunes crashes when I plug in IPod?

Hello! I've never had this problem before. Whenever I plug in my ipod to my ibook, iTunes will crash (i.e. "unexpected application quit" msg pops). My ipod will look like it's charging along w/ the msg "Do Not Disconnect" but it no longer shows "Ipod is Updating". If I don't plug in my ipod, itunes will work and none of my music has been deleted. So as of now - my ipod actually shows no music in it at all (all my photos and files that I store are still in it though). Please tell me how to fix this problem. Thank you in advance.
ibook Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Try this:
Move the com.apple.iPod.plist file (in ~/Users/YourUsername/Library/Preferences) to the desktop and attach your iPod.
iTunes will have to create a new iPod preferences file, which could solve the problem.
Hope this helps.
