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...

  • IPod 60GB Freezes When I Connect to USB

    I read a lot of the postings related to this topic, but none seem to fit my situration.
    I have an iPod 60Gb I have been using without problems, synching regularly with iTunes, since Christmas. In the past couple of days, when I plug it into the USB port, I get the "Do Not Disconnect" message, which never goes away. Toggling the Hold switch does not reset it. Pressing the center and Menu buttons for 6 seconds does not reset it when the iPod is plugged into the USB port, but it does reset it if I first unplug the iPod from the USB port. Once reset, if I again plug it into the USB port, it freezes, and I have to unplug and reset again.
    I moved the USB connector to another port, with no effect.
    When I plug the iPod into the USB port, it does not appear in the iTunes display (and if iTunes is not running, it does not invoke iTunes), nor does it show up in Windows as a disk drive under My Computer.
    I thought perhaps the iPod was conflicting with another drive, so I fired up the Disk Management utility under the Windows System Accessories and then connected the iPod to a USB port. Even though Windows makes the sound of a drive connecting to the system, nothing shows up in the Disk Management window to indicate a new drive has been connected, or that anything is conflicting with an existing drive.
    I have performed the first three of the five R's recommended by Apple - Reset, Retry, and Restart. I have not tried to Reinstall because I have the latest version of the iTunes and iPod software (2006-01-10), and since the iPod is not connecting via the USB port, I do not see how running the Updater on my desktop PC is going to be able to push any updates to my iPod.
    I am trying to avoid the 5th R, Restore, as that seems a bit extreme and that it will result in a lot of collateral damage from slicking the hard drive.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi there,
    I'm having the same problem too. I've even gone so far as to try the 5th R. Twice now. The first time, as long as he iPod remained in it's dock afterward, it would still appear in iTunes and on my desktop so that I was able to sync it properly. However, upon disconnecting it and re-inserting it in the dock it was no longer recognoized and reverted back to it's usual "do not disconnect" screen.
    At first I thought that it might have been a cabling issue, as I'd around the same time that I'd first experienced the problem, I switched from the USB 2.0 cable to a FireWire cable beween the computer and the dock. However, upon switching back, the problem remained. Furthermore, I'd recently picked up a newer 5G iPod. I've had no problems with it at all. So the dock, cable and ports that it's connected to are all fully functional.
    I tried the restore another time tonight. Once again, the restore was successful. It copied all of my music back to the iPod. However, this time the unit managed to get itself stuck back in the "do not disconnect" state again without my disconnecting it from the cradle after the restore. So it's even worse than last time.
    In the Disk Utility, the iPod appears. I can use the Verify Disk tool and it appears OK. As well, I can eject the iPod from here, which is successful at making the "Do not disconnect" screen go away. However, upon disconnecting and then reconnecting the iPod to the cradle, it sends itself back into a tizzy -- the unit appears as a disk in the Disk Utility, but iTunes cannot see the device as an iPod, nor does it appear as one on the desktop.

  • ITunes freezes when iPod connected

    I have Windows XP and iTunes version 11.0.1. Since I've updated iTunes I haven't tried to sync my iPod touch 4th generation. When I connected my iPod my iTunes freezes and I can't click on anything. Once I disconnect the iPod then iTunes works fine. What should I do? Thanks.

    I've had similiar problems when it comes to freezing. What I did was simply wait. I loaded my iPod and the mouse pointer showed the hourglass for a few minutes, then the iPod simply showed up on iTunes. Try rebooting your system, connecting iPod, and giving it a few minutes.

  • Why does deleted content reappear on my iPhone when I connect via USB?

    I recently upgraded from a 3GS to a 4S, and I'm having an issue that's never been a problem before.  I notice that music or video that I delete from my iPhone reappears when I connect to iTunes via USB.  Nothing is moved over, either: the videos are just listed as if never removed.
    I am deleting this videos by swiping across after viewing on phone.  They disappear, so I am not overlooking anything on that front.  Similarly, I don't sync video or music -- I have manual management checked in iTunes.
    Any ideas what might be happening, and how I can fix it?

    And almost 2 years later this is still happening - I delete TV Shows and Movies from my iPad 2 (iOS6) or iPhone (iOS6) and as soon as I connect the devices to my mac by USB they reappear (even though my setting is to manually manage everything). This then screws up syncing like this morning where I tried to add 2 new movies - as it was syncing I realised that the previous 2 had reappeared so I wouldn't have space to add them. I deleted them via iTunes and the sync appeared to be successful - until I turned on the iPad on the train to be greeted by a message saying that the 2 items couldn't be synced.

  • ITunes 7.0.1.8 totally freezes when iPod connected

    I installed iTunes 7.0.1.8 a few days ago, and today I'm having huge problems with it. Just yesterday I managed to upload a large set of videos to my iPod, and today, if I run iTunes without my iPod connected, I have no problems. However, when I plug my iPod in, it runs until it recognizes the iPod and displays the menu for it, and at that moment, the program entirely freezes. I can't push any buttons. It doesn't even manage to update the screen if I alt-tab between it and another window. And it uses 70% or more of my processor while not actually seeming to do anything.
    I tried restarting my computer and my iPod. No good. The iPod is a 60 GB iPod video, and I have it set for manual management.

    As it turns out, mine just needed about ten minutes to sit there and think after I plugged the iPod in. Maybe yours is the same way. It's not acceptable, but you can get to your iPod if you have the patience.
    I've also noticed that it feels the need to reanalyze the gapless playback information for all my songs after the first time I add something to the iPod after I plug it in. I think it might have been doing that when I first plugged it in also, and just wasn't updating the screen.

  • IMAC freezing when IPOD connected

    When I connect my shuffle to my IMAC to download songs or recharge, it doesn't sync and, in fact, freezes my IMAC. I have to shut the computer down to make it right. Unable to download any tunes to IPOD. Help please...!

    alright one thing you should do is be patient. Give the shuffle at least 10min while its connected. With the new version of itunes out people have had this happen. If this does not work try re-downloading the latest version of itunes. Also restart your ipod. Give it a shot. hope all goes well.

  • Equium A100 shuts down or freezes when I connect a USB device

    I'm getting desperate now but everytime i connect a USB device which draws power from my laptop ie sat navi or mobile phone or ipod the thing just lock up or shuts down.
    Any ideas will be extremly welcome; I have checked the battery issues and made sure that my power supply is in order but am at a loss!!!!

    First of all you should reinstall the OS with the Toshiba recovery CD to ensure that this is not a hardware issue. Then you should update the OS to the latest state. All MS hotfixes and patches should be installed.
    If possible try to update the BIOS. Sometimes 3rd party devices are not fully supported and therefore a BSOD could appear.

  • When i connect via usb it starts charging but then stops

    when i connect my mini, itunes pops up, mini starts charging and itunes starts to update, but as soon as update is complete the mini stops charging even though it is nowhere near fully charged.

    Turn the ipod off (hold down the play key) while it is charging and see if you get the charging battery on the screen.

  • Windows Freezes when ipod connected

    I am having a small problem with itunes on windows xp home edition. On my laptop my 60G ipod photo works fine, when i plug it into my wifes laptop which has just had itunes installed as she has just got herself an ipod nano widows freezes until you unplug it again, her ipod is fine on both her pc and my pc and both my daughters are fine on both pcs, its just mine on hers? is there any cure or known problems that i should be aware of? Many thanks for any help you can give.

    Usually theres no need for this, cuz when you uninstall iTUnes it does not erase the iTUnes Library, nor any music on the PC.
    That said its always a GREAT idea to back up your music regularly. Apple covers this on there site by using iTUnes to burn backups on CD, but it doesn't include backup of the all important iTunes Library file that contains all the playlist rating playcount Ect ect here it is tho http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93033
    Long as you have all your music in one folder like "My Music" you can just copy it to an external Harddrive. that will backup all the music AND all the iTUnes librarys and crap since its in the "My Music" folder by default
