Major problem charging ipod from front usb

i was wondering if anyone else had the problem of plugging in an ipod mini to simply charge
it,[im talking about an hp desktop,and using the front usb plug]the ipod unit is off,and
having it wreck havok on one's hard drive,like say possibly corrupting the m.b.r[master boot
record]im asking because this happened once before,but i was able to repair it using xp
pro's recovery console,this time i was not able to correct the problem,windows simply will
not boot from that partition,and i know the only thing that was done,[or plugged in]or
out-was hot swappable,turned off and was the ipod.......please any help here would be hot
thanx,[email protected]

I've already tried that. iTunes also hangs for a number of minutes whenever I open it up. I have tried trashing prefs etc but no luck. The issue always comes back. Of course I did take this crap G5 into Apple to get it fixed, but they were unable to replicate and so nothing was fixed. I guess I will need to bring it in with my complete setup the next time and show them firsthand. Its funny, I have a 5 yr old Dual G4 that gets used about 4x as much as my less than 6 months old G5.

ITunes/iPod/Mac OS X 10.4 lock up when syncing iPod from front USB

If I connect my iPod to my Quad G5's front USB port, I end up getting the "kernel_task" process to eat up nearly 100% of one of the processors and within 30 minutes the computer becomes unusable and I get a complete system kernel panic. Happens everytime. Anyone have an idea what's going on here?

Can I charge my iPod from the USB socket on my tv

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows if I can charge my iPod from the USB socket on my tv No other way at the moment and running low on battery Thanks

Yes if the port puts out enough current (about 1.2 amp (500 ma). If less it may not show charging when the screen is on but it will charge, but slowly with the screen off.

Charge iPod with the USB cable

When I connect my iPod to a computer whithout iTunes installed, I get a new drive in windows. But on my iPod I get symbol in the display that says that I should not remove the cable before I disconnect the iPod in windows.
In this case the iPod charge until I disconnect the iPod in windows.
When I use iPod with my computer where iTunes is installed, I can press the Eject iPod button in iTunes and the iPod still get power from the USB cable, and the iPod still charge.
Is there any software so can do the same job as in the iTunes for eject iPod? Beacuse then I can charge the iPod with only the usb cable and still listen to the music.

Major Problems with iPod

"I'm having the exact same problem. My computer that I started out on iPod/iTunes crashed a couple months ago, and I got my laptop in response to that. Now that I am basically all resetup with iTunes/iPod I would love to sync new music to it without losing my original library that I've carried for ages, however the original computer now has absolutely no documents of any kind to speak of (on my side) since it crashed and stole everything. Is there anyway I can stop being fusterated with this problem and be able to sync just my brand new music/videos I just bought last night but at the same time not lose my original library???"<--This was taken from my original post on another topic which has since been generally answered..so they say- I'm still having major problems so I'm starting this topic. (That topic is entitled: "update from another computer". Here's the link http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1547424 )
(The music that I carried around for ages got erased) Okay, I have gotten all of my music (basically except for a few) back onto my iTunes after losing it all due to a computer crash. Now, I am trying to get that stuff onto my iPod by way of syncing it. However the iTunes wants me to restore the iPod to the factory settings since it can't read it anymore. Don't ask me why it is saying this I have NO idea!!! Bad thing with restoring the factory settings is I lose all my old photos.
Help PLEASE!!!!

I caved and restored the factory settings

Can I Charge iPod From MBP Running on Battery?

I realize this is a naive question but I am about to go on a long vacation and don't want to have to take too much gear. It would be convenient if I could simply plug the iPod into a USB port to charge it.
TIA,

Hi Bud,
Yes, while plugged into your MBP, your iPod will be charging. Have a nice trip!

Problems charging ipod

I've just replaced my old 3rd gen nano with a shiny new 4th gen one.
My old nano would recharge when plugged into my docking station and also when plugged into my Harman Kardon car system, however the 4th gen will only charge when pluggedinto my USB port on my PC.
Any ideas why?

Yes there are a few on the market I have seen, although they are a little pricey in my opinion. No first hand experience with any of these but a few I have run across on the web include...

Having major problems with iPod Shuffle, please help!!

Okay, I have a 2nd iPod shuffle and it just will not connect to my computer. I've used to adaptor that came with it and it worked once but I only added a couple of songs and I want to add more now but I can't! The light blinks orange 3-4 times and nothing happens on my PC. I borrowed my friends charger and absoloutly nothing happens with his. But I can still charge it because I have a USB wall charger which I can connect my charger to and it charges perfectly with that. So, naturally I thought there was something wrong with my PC/USB sockets. So, I tried it on my friends computer - same results as with mine. I can't use the reset utility though because I'm running Windows 7 on 64 bit and there's no download out there for that. Please help somebody - I really want to add more songs to my iPod, and this is becoming really frustrating. :/

Okay, so maybe I wasn't clear enough when I said nothing happens on my PC? Well, literally nothing at all happens on my PC, it doesn't show up in My Computer or iTunes.

Charging iPod from mains with iPad charger. O.K.?

I have a new iPod Touch and live in the UK. I would like to know if it is safe to use the mains charger ( 10watt USB Power Adaptor) designed for my iPad to also charge my new iPod Touch. I am a little concerned that charging with this 10 watt unit may cause damage, either immediate or accumulative, to the iPod battery. Thank you in anticipation.

Yes it is fine to use that. See Using iPad power adapters with your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support

Problem charging iPod Black 60GB VIDEO

I put my iPod to charge from the wall as always. After a while as usual the charge green icon appear in my iPod, but when I try to play my music my iPod said LOW POWER BATTERY and something else that I couldn't read 'cause the iPod shut off. I put it to charge [for 6 hrs] in the PC [Windows XP] and the 'Very Low battery' monochrome icon appears. You can browser through the iPod content but as soon as I push the play button it turn off saying the low battery messege. The thing is that when you are browsering through the battery icon shows fully charge. If I have the iPod charging from the wall, I can listen to the music, if I have the iPod charging from the PC the monochrome icon will appear and I can't update, sync ect. The charger works because my sister charged her iPod [Black 30GB VIDEO] and the sync cable works 'cause she updated her iPod software, since she uses the laptop to sync.

If your iPod only works correctly when connected to external power, then it's very likely that the battery has died on your iPod. You cannot overcharge the battery has the other poster has suggested.
The monochrome non animated battery icon you see when you connect the iPod to the computer means that the battery is discharged.
There are things you can try here.
My iPod won't turn on.
iPod battery doesn't charge.
If nothing helps, you should send the iPod for service.

Major Problem with audio from Final Cut to DVd Studio Pro

I am posting this problem again because no further responses have been received regarding my first post. I purchased an MR-HD100 Firestore device from Focus Enhancements. When I use clips from it alone or with other clips created by digitizing from min DV tape on a sequence or timeline the audio works fine in Final Cut. When I import any type of file and believe me I have been trying all kinds of suggestions and wasting almost a dozen DVDs. Whether it be a Final Cut QT file, going straight to compressor and producing an MPEG-2 file and a dolby audio file .ac3 importing them into DVD SP and making the adjustments that MR. Harbsmeier suggested DIAL NORM at -31dbfs and COMPRESSION MODE to NONE, as well as the suggestion to make an aif file with the audio and importing it into DVD SP as well as the video. I get the same result with every try, the clips made with the firestore are so low you cannot hear them. NOTHING WORKS!!!!. And yes I have tried making a DVD with just digitized footage and yes it turned out fine. I called Apple support today and that gentlemen basically told me I am out of warranty so phone help was not available. However, he made a suggestion of changing sequence presets in Final Cut which has now developed into another problem. I have messed up my settings so bad I don't know where I am I can't LOG & CAPTURE in the manner I used to ???? Could someone please advise as to why this problem exists and the correction to resolve it. I do not understand why the audio works fine playing the sequence on the timeline in Final Cut. It plays fine after making a Final Cut QT file. AND it plays fine in simulation mode in DVD Studio Pro. However after you burn a DVD the audio from the firestore clips are not to be heard unless you crank up the speakers or TV to it's maximum level and you can barely make it out. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME Projects are stacking up and was really hoping to go tapeless

Try building the project to your desktop and then open the Video_TS in the Mac DVD player application.
How does it play/sound? This application is the best way to see and hear how your burned DVD should play vs. just using simulator and burning.
Just to clarify- are you taking your FC QT file into Compressor and creating a MPG-2 and AC3 file or are you bringing your FC QT directly into DSP?
What codec are you exporting from FC? ProRes422, DV, H264?
Open the FC QT in QT and apple+I to see this.
What does it say for audio?

Problem connecting ipod-Error says USB malfunct & winXP does not recognize

Please can someone help a non-tech savy new ipod user. I have loaded the latest itunes, but not only does itunes not see my ipod, I get the following windows error when I plug it into the USB port. "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it". When I click on this, it says no drivers are loaded for this device. I have followed the 5Rs including the windows updates with no luck. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

Already done that. The USB port is 2.0 and is on the back of my computer and i am not using any dock or external hubs. The cable i am using is the one that came with my ipod when i bought it.
I connected the cable to ALL the USB ports just in case the one i was using was not working properly but the error continued. I also check that the USB ports are not protected (meaning the USB port is blocked and recognizes the ipod as a virus). I also deactivated the firewall just in case it was blocking itunes or the apple mobile device support.
I've done everything and i am freaking out!! Please help meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! thanks anyway lllaass
