Mouse freeze when plugging my iPod in my Laptop...

Hello,
This is the 2nd post I'm posting due to very strange iPod behaviour... As well as not being seen in my iMac, I have noticed a strange thing with my XP laptop at work : when I plug my iPod, the mouse plugged into the laptop freezes...
Anyone had the same issue? What to do???
For info : my laptop is an IBM T42, into a docking station and with a IBM mouse plugged into the docking station...
Thank in advance for your help!

First of all, thanks for your answers!
Scott, I indeed loaded the latest drivers of the mouse but this does not solve the issue : same blocked USB mouse while plugging the iPod...
Now, it is true that I can still use the keypad of the laptop. The only problem I have is that the laptop is on my left, and I am right-handed... And what is the point of having a real mouse at work if it was to use the keypad...
I even noticed a starnger thing : in the device manager, my HID complient mouse totally disappears while plugging the iPod...
So anyony having the same trouble? Anyone found a solution to this???
Thanks in advance for your help!

  • MacBook Pro Mid 2012 freezes when plugged in

    Hi. My Mid 2012 MBP which runs on Yosemite 10.10.2 keeps freezing even when just browsing on Chrome so I uninstalled Chrome and used Safari. I was still having problems after switching browsers so I restored my device to its factory settings but the restore did not solve my problem. All this time my device was plugged in so I unplugged it and tried to browse. It did not freeze or crash. I read the forums and found out about the SMC reset and a NVRAM reset but my device is still freezing when plugged in. I am typing this while my MBP is unplugged. Please help.

    Reset the SMC again:

  • Computer is crashing (freeze) when connecting my iPod Nano

    Hello,
    my computer is crashing (freeze) when connecting my iPod Nano. I have a Pentium IV with windows XP Pro. Can anybody help me please.

    This came from another thread, but worked for me.  Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62.  Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update).  Reboot, and reinstall iTunes.  It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano.  Good luck.

  • When i plug my ipod into my laptop, it comes up as a new ipod. It says it can't sync and wants me to restore it to its original factory settings but I don't want to because I will lose everything.

    You have no choice but to restore the iPod. You can restore from backup if y have one.

  • Mouse freezes when disconnecting from Internet

    The mouse freezes when I click on the Disconnect button in the Remote Access Panel. It doesn't happen every time. I can't do anything but turn off the computer then boot it up again. Any ideas?
    Power Mac G4 Cube   Mac OS 9.0.x  

    Hi, Fuggles -
    Since the mouse freezing appears to be specific to an action in OS 9, it should not carry over to OSX.
    Some concerns about installing Tiger (OSX 10.4) -
    • Firmware
    Be sure you have updated the firmware in that machine before installing OSX. You can download the appropriate firmware updater from this Apple KBase article -
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75129
    <hr>
    • OS 9 version
    The preceding firmware update installs only when the machine is running OS 9.1 or OS 9.2.x from its hard drive. And, if you plan to use OS 9 as Classic under OSX, it must be at least OS 9.1; OS 9.2.x provides better compatibility for that mode.
    Therefore, you should update your OS 9.0.x to at least OS 9.1, and perhaps to OS 9.2.x. You can do that using download updates, which you can get from these Apple pages -
    Article #75103 - Mac OS 9.1 - Download and Info
    Article #120030 - Mac OS 9.2.1 - Download and Info
    Article #75186 - Mac OS 9.2.2 - Download and Info
    Note that those must be installed in sequence; none can be skipped. However, you can skip the need to obtain one or more of those large downloads if you get a retail OS 9.1 or a retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD, and do a direct install of that version.
    <hr>
    • Startup Disk
    The version of Startup Disk control panel that comes with OS 9.1 and earlier is not capable of 'seeing' OSX as a valid OS, hence switching to OSX from OS 9.1 or earlier can be difficult. However, there is a solution - download and install a replacement control panel, which can be got from this article -
    Startup Disk 9.2.1 Document and Software
    Note - in spite of what that article states, that replacement control panel will work in OS's earlier than OS 9.1; it as been tested successfully in OS's as old as OS 8.6. It is not needed for OS 9.2.1 or later.
    <hr>
    • RAM
    The requirements for Tiger state a minimum of 256MB of physical RAM; a minimum of 512MB is more realistic. More RAM is better.
    OSX is much pickier about RAM than OS 9 is. If your machine has any after-market (non-original) RAM in it, it would be a good idea to download and run DIMM First Aid. That utility can do some basic tests, but more important;y it can repair some sub-spec modules so that they are compliant with Apple's specs.
    Note - do this before installing the firmware update mentioned above.
    <hr>
    • Hard drive space
    Tiger will need about 3GB in order to install, and runs best when there is an additional 5GB of unused space on the drive (it uses that space for its version of virtual memory, swap files, defragging on the fly, etc.). It would be best if your hard drive has at least 8GB unused space on it before installing Tiger.

  • I tried to install ios7 last night and the screen is now on itunes with the usb symbols  Plugged the ipod into the laptop where itunes is stored.  Tried to restore only to be advised that a 3194 error has occured  cannot get any further please help!!

    Hi  I tried to install ios7 last night and the ipod touch now has a frozen screen with the itunes logo and the usb logo  I plugged the ipod into my laptop and tried to restore only to be met with the message 3194 error  cannot restore this ipod  please help thanks

    Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
    Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
    Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
    Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
    You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
    BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

  • My thunderbolt display makes a noise when plugged into my macbook pro laptop

    my thunderbolt display makes a noise when plugged into my macbook pro laptop. It sounds like an electronic noise which doesn't come through the speakers. Any advice how to eliminate this?

    Could be a poor ground.  Try plugging the monitor directly into the wall (no power strip) and see what happens.

  • IPod classic freezes when plugged in

    Whenever I plug my iPod into the computer, it freezes at the "Connected, Eject before disconnecting." screen. The actual iPod freezes and I have to reset it to use it again.
    Details:
    1. My main computer is a PC with Windows XP. I've tried 2 different PCs and a Mac, none of them recognize it.
    2. It charges properly while connected by USB.
    3. My Computer doesn't always recognize it, when it does see a drive there and I try to access it, Explorer crashes.
    4. iTunes doesn't always recognize there's an iPod attached, when it does recognize that its there, it offers to restore after telling me the iPod was corrupted, but never goes past the "Restoring" mini-window.
    5. I can't restore since everytime I plug it in the iPod freezes.
    I've tried resetting the iPod repeatedly, reinstalling the USB drivers, re-registering the Windows .dll's (even though the same thing occurs on MacOSX), to no avail.
    My data and music is still there. I can still play it. I just can't sync or restore my iPod at all.
    Any ideas?
    TIA

    There have been countless threads about this issue, and apple just locks them and acts like nothing is wrong.
    As of now, the only solution to this problem is to return the ipod.

  • When I plug my iPod into my laptop, it freezes.

    All of the sudden, one day my iPod froze when I plugged it into my laptop, and then it happened again when i plugged it in!
    Windows   Windows XP  

    What exactly do you mean when you say that the iPod freezes when you connect it to your computer? Does it just display the "Do Not Disconnect" screen when connected, and doesn't get off that screen?
    If so, this screen will continue to stay displayed on your iPod, usually because you either have Disk Use enabled, or you are manually managing your iPod's songs.
    If you are automatically syncing songs to your iPod, then disable disk use (if you would like iTunes to automatically eject your iPod after the sync is complete).
    For more info, see this:
    Using Disk Use for iPod
    If you are manually managing your iPod's songs, then you will have to eject it from your computer before unplugging it to make it safe to disconnect.
    To eject an iPod, click on the little arrow next to your iPod's name in the iTunes Source List.
    Or, you can go to the Safely Remove Hardware program, found among the System Tray icons, which are in the bottom-right corner of your screen. Select "Apple iPod USB", and click on "Stop".
    For more details on safely disconnecting an iPod, see this:
    Safely Disconnect iPod
    If the Do Not Disconnect screen is not the problem, then have you tried resetting your iPod? To reset an iPod:
    First, toggle the iPod's "Hold" switch back and forth a couple of times (leave it on the white side of the switch).
    Then, press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for 5-10 seconds.
    Try this several times, then connect your iPod to your computer again.
    If that doesn't seem to work, then try putting your iPod into disk mode, following the steps in this article:
    Putting iPod into disk mode
    After the iPod is in disk mode, connect it to your computer, and see if it doesn't freeze.

  • Ipod touch freezes when plugging into ford escape via aux input (not sync)

    My daughter tried to plug her ipod touch into her escape using line-in and it freezes.  My son's does not.  His is newer than hers.  Can I assume a software update will correct her problem?  She says she has never updated the ipod software...don't know if its 1st or 2nd generation.  Her escape does not have Sync, just an aux input jack.

  • IPod nano freezing when plugged into Belkin Tunecast

    Everything has been working fine with my ipod nano 3rd generation until recently. I tried to plug it into the tunecast in my car and the ipod froze. I've tried resetting it and this still happens. A different ipod has been working fine with the tunecast which makes me think there is nothing wrong with the belkin but the ipod is fine even when plugged into the computer which makes me wonder which one is not working properly. Any ideas????

    I am having this exact same issue with my wife's 3g, 8GB nano and her Monster iCarPlay. the Monster unit and the nano worked fine together for a week or two but now the nano locks up when connected to it. You disconnect the nano and it goes back to working fine. I have reset the nano while both connected and not connected to the Monster and have done a restore in iTunes and I am still having the same issue. I called support and they basically told me to buy a new car adapter. I don't believe this is a good solution since the Monster worked with the nano for a couple of weeks when we first got it and the Monster still works fine with both my wife's and my old ipod mini's. Any suggestions?

  • IPod classic 160GB freezing when plugged in

    Hi,
    My new iPod classic started freezing when plugge in after the night, for example - it needs a restore, then works fine. Any ideas?
    Thank you for your help

    Yikes!, it may means it is the iPod Classic firmware 2.0.4, that is hanging up the USB Host controller, which freezes your whole Computer.
    Could be a partially updated firmware 2.0.4, (so kind of corrupted)
    Can you
    1. Open in finder <yourname>/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/
    2. Remove the .ipsw and .ipsw.signature for the version you are wanting to drop, in this case, 2.0.4
    3. Open iTunes and in Preferences uncheck automatic check for updates.
    4. Connect iPod and select restore. It will ask you if you want to check for newer update. Select Yes. All files will be removed and it will have to resync the entire library but it worked.
    PS: try and do this in Diskmode.

  • Mouse freezes when IPOD connects via USB

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a 30GB Video IPod, however I haven't been able to put any music on It as the mouse (which is also USB like the keyboard)locks out.
    I've tried switching which ports are used by the keyboard and mouse, and I've got the keyboard sorted. So it is just the mouse now. I've uninstalled and downloaded the new version of ITunes and IPod updater too.
    Any clues to the solution fromanyone who's experienced the same. It's rather annoying. Hope you can help,
    All the best,
    Mark

    I am having the same issue as well. My mouse is plugged into my keyboard, which is plugged into my apple monitor. I try to plug my ipod into the front of my G5 and the mouse and keyboard goes dead. Tried plugging things into different ports... no luck...
