My 5G seems to stutter then freeze when plugged in

Has anyone heard of this problem;
While the 5G is plugged into the dock or the Alpine car unit (same type of connection as the doc), it will play for awhile then start to stutter ( stop and start ) for about a minute - then it will freeze. At which point I have to undock it and wait about 60 seconds for the click wheel to respond to any commands.
I've tried the restore. I've reformatted it. I've checked the HD for errors. Nothing seems to work.
Any help?
Thanks!

To see the songs on the iPod when it's connected to the computer, is this what you are doing?
Select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Click the little triangle next to the iPod, so that it points down, and you should see a "drop down" list of iTunes media types, indented under the iPod. On of them should be Music, and your playlists (that are on the iPod) should also appear on this list. Select Music, and over to the right are all the songs that are currently on the iPod.
You should be able to see these songs when using the iPod (as an iPod). So, the second question is, how are you playing (looking for) the songs on the iPod? By playlist? By artist? By album? By genre? Some other way...?

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:

T440s Freezes when plugged in to AC

I have seen a problem like this posted online, but cannot find an answer. My T440s will boot up, and then the screen will stay black unless I unplug the computer, then it will finish booting to the windows screen. It also freezes if it is left not used for a few hours, plugged in, despite me having set hibernate to never when plugged in. If i unplug the computer it seems to be more responsive. I have restored to factory setting with the original CDs but It still happens. Any suggestions? Is this a hardware or software problem? I have two OEM Lenovo plugs and it happens with both so I do not think it is the Adaptor. I also use at work and home and the same thing happens, so I doubt it is a outlet / power problem. Thanks

They told me to upgrade the bios. I'm waiting for the intermittent problem to happen again. What hardware part do you think it is
I completely agree with Skoop's comment. Updating BIOS on a machine that is having power issues risks bricking the machine. I would call them back and explain that you can't update the BIOS because the machine doesn't even boot successfully with the adapter attached, as you've described in your first post.
For reference, from the readme file, the first item in the BIOS update instruction sequence is: "Firmly connect the AC adapter to your ThinkPad computer.".
As to what hardware may be at issue? Anything I'd say would be a wild guess.

T410s - new - freezes when plugged in to A/C power.

New T410s out of the box will freeze within 10 minutes of booting into the Windows 7. It does not appear to freeze when running on Battery. All Lenovo update and Microsoft updates have been applied.

So it seems I am not the only one with this problem then! My T410s freezes on average every two to three hours. If it is running on battery or not doesn't seem to make a difference. I have installed all new windows and lenovo updates (including a bios update, which by the way solved an annoying problem of letters being scrambled when typing at very high speed). Interestingly, a friend of mine got a T410s at about the same time as I did, and it suffers from the same problems.
So what seems to be going on? It seems unlikely to be a heat issue, as the system has actually frozen a couple of times within seconds of coming back from hibernation. I am afraid if I send my T410s for repair it will come back in the same state. It seems difficult to pinpoint the cause of these errors.
Another problem I have with this computer (which is probably better to discuss in another thread) is a rather loud high pitch noise when running on battery. From what I can tell it stems from the cpu power management (disabling cpu power management removes the noise, but at the cost of half the battery life). As I have had the chance to compare two T410s's side by side I know that this high pitch noise is more audible in some computers than others. Another interesting observation when comparing the two T410s's is the difference in display calibration, where my friends T410s had a very strong green tint compared to mine. From what I can tell from the viewing angles the panel seems to be of the same type.
I can't help myself but to mention yet another problem with the two T410s's I have seen. It does unfortunately not sit 100% flat on the table. Within days of use the lower left corner will be hoovering I'd say about 1mm-1.5mm above the table. It might have something to do with the slightly unusual placement of the battery and thermal expansion/contraction.
If the two first problems I mentioned could somehow be fixed I'd be happy. Everything else about this computer seems to be excellent.

Itunes freezes when plug ipod in

hey my ipod has been playing up a bit
it comes up with the unhappy face sign and the folder sign...therefore i have restored it but nothing seems to happen!
now when i plug in my ipod, itunes just freezes and stops working so i have to control alt delete and end the task!
it also came up with the message
iTunes.exe - Device Time out
The sppecified 1/0 operation on \Device\Hardisk1\DR5 was not completed before the timeout period expired.
can anyone help?
many thanks in advance for your help!

I GOT THE SOLUTION
At least for my IMac! As usual, the most stupid thing was underestimated. I started to have the "freezing" trouble when I connected my Ipod Nanop, last month, than my Ipod Video and Mini Ipod too.The strange thing was that befor the Nano, the mini worked well. But, when I bought the Nano (one month before the Video) i simoultaneously bought an hub system (2.0, self-alimented), and I put the cable for the ipod connection into the hub, while with the former mini Ipod was connected directly to my IMac. Today I disconnected the hub, I put the Ipod cable again into the IMac, directly to the Ipod, and everything magically worked perfectly. I copied all my 4.000 songs library in a while, without freezing anything but my fingers (this winter is very cold in Italy!!!!).
Hope to have helped you. tell me....

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.

Ipod freezes when plugged in to comp

i wanted to transfer songs from one computer to the next, so i turned the ipod in usb mode and stored 1 gb of songs(almost) on it, then i went to the other computer, and started to unload them. but half way through it, one of the songs wouldn't transfer, and after that, my ipod just wouldn't connect to the computer w/o freezing my comp (end task comes up after a while). i can't restore it b/c i don't have the option to (it just freezes once plugged in).

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?

Nano only works via mains charger then freezes when unplugged....

Could use someones wise advice please!
My nano is just over 1yr old, worked fine until recently. I have tried the 5 r's, software is upto date, battery is fully charged, only works via mains charger but when i disconnect it, it freezes with a line through the screen. Connect it to charger, it is fine again.
Via pc usb, the apple logo comes on then it goes black then logo then black screen etc seems it almost boots up but just quite doesnt.
I have found if you hold ccentre button & left scroll button you access an engineers menu, been through all this and it seems fine. Any help would be cool

If the iPod functions normally while plugged into an external power source of some sort (either USB port on your PC or Mac OR while plugged into a wall adapter), but doesn't when running on battery power, it's likely that the iPod's battery is shot.
You can have Apple or a third party repair center replace the battery for a flat fee. Otherwise, it's time to start saving for a new iPod or replacement.

Flash CS6 opens then freezes when opening old or new file.

I have the Adobe production premium and all other software works except flash. This is driving me crazy because It was working fine about 3 months ago, then all of a sudden it stopped working. It loads up just fine and it gives me the options screen. But when I open a new file or an old one it freezes with no error message. Windows just gives a "This program is not responding and needs to close." I have tried everything to get it to work, from uninstalling/reinstalling to the fontinfo.txt trick from the FAQ. I also updated it as well.
I am using a Windows 7 64 bit HP PC.
If anybody can help please let me know, and if you have any other questions please ask. Thanks
Chris

Wow, I knew I should've held out on making a post. I ended up getting it working.
Turns out I didn't do the SING component / datastore correctly. Instead of going into the SING folder on the startup disk I was going into the SING folder under the user (me). I didn't catch that at first but going back and re-reading everything I caught it.
I feel good

Sporadic crash; Main Q: how do i stop going into standby automatically and then freezing when I try to restart what I am working on. Hate this new FF.

Just how do i stop this autostandby feature. It was not on my previous ff. Or maybe not set. I need to know how to swithc it off and cannot find a lead in the index or even a list of all the items in the index to help track it. I am working on something and leave to do something else and then come back and it is all on standby. Since Having the ff4 craashes a lot and infact does all sorts of aberrant th ings. Then I have to shut down (slow once crashed) and reboot. So many problems that I am threatening to give up the computer. It is wasting so much time. It never has before.

I want to put in my 2 cents as well in hopes that Apple will start to notice this based on the number of people that are posting the problem. I am having the same problem, which I will describe as well as to what I have seen. I have iTunes open already and insert an audio CD. It appears briefly on the desktop as "Audio CD" and then iTunes accesses information on the CD from the web. It then looses the information and the disk and the CD unmounts completely in the finder. I am certain of the timing, as one CD I inserted had multiple different possible matches found and when I chose one, it unmounted as soon as I chose the right item from the the dialog box. It happens sporadically with no pattern that I can see. Some disks work and others do not. I have been keeping Disk Utility open and when it happens, I just click on the CD in there and click on "Mount Disk" and then iTunes proceeds to import it just fine and then ejects it, as I have set the options. It started to happen after I upgraded to Leopard and also iTunes 7.5. I don't think I tried to import anything between doing those 2 updates.

Ipod freezing when plugged in

hello
recently my ipod has been having trouble, generation 5 or 6 i think it is, 120gb, refurbished purchased direct from apple (warranty is up). lately when i plug in my ipod, it instantly freezes the ipod as if it were playing the music, shows song name etc.. and once i reset it, it's fine and plugs in. i should note as well that this is not the case EVERYTIME i'd say probably 9/10 it freezes.
about 2 months ago is when this started and then one day i plugged in my ipod and i lost all my music minus maybe 3000 songs that we're still on the ipod hard drive so i've had to redo everything once i formatted it. i was extremely frustrated naturally, but now it seems to just continue doing it and even some songs i put on my ipod play on itunes, but when i play them on my ipod they show up for 1 second and instantly skip to the next song.
now that i can deal with, maybe the song is the problem im not sure, however, now i plugged in my ipod today and it freezes, naturally, i reset it and now it connects and it's giving me the screen to change the ipod's name as if it's going to reset to when you'd first format the ipod. it's happened twice now, im kinda afraid to plug it in now, i just yank it out as soon as i see the screen and it's 'verifying" the ipod, when i yank it out it's fine all my stuff is still there. any thoughts on this matter? should i look at just backing everything up and reformatting again? id really hope this isn't the matter as i have playlists/ratings i'd like to keep which i initially lost when it first screwed up.
thanks, philip

Your nano uses a totally different way to sync with iTunes than the touch. You need to follow the troubleshooting tips in this article about removing and reinstalling iTunes.

2009 17" Macbook freezes when plugged into Apple 24" LED Display

In the last few weeks I have noticed that when I plug my 17" UBMP into my 24" Apple display, the computer freezes and the 24" display remains dark.
The computer freeze shows no spinning ball, there is curser movement but nothing will work/open and I am forced to hold the power button until the machine restarts. When it does the display and machine work ok, unless I disconnect and re-connect the display.
This seems to happen 1 out of 5 times. I have a logitech wave cordless set with a usb stick/receiver in the display, however this does not seem to be the issue as it does not freeze sometimes with the stick connected.
anybody else see this issue?

Hi, Ray. Disconnect the Logitech USB dongle from the display, and try connecting and using the display with only your MBP's built-in mouse and trackpad in use. If you have no trouble with that simplified setup, try plugging the Logitech dongle directly into one of your MBP's USB ports, instead of into the display. Test again. Post back with results.
It seems very likely to me that the Logitech devices are somehow involved in the problem, even though it doesn't arise every time you connect the external display with the Logitech dongle connected to it.

T440s freezes when plugged in to AC after upgrade to Windows 10

After upgrading to Windows 10 my T440s shows the following behaviour: It boots up fine with the AC adapter plugged in. Now if I unplug power it goes into battery mode, i.e. darker backlight etc just fine. Now plugging the power back in, the screen gets brighter but the UI freezes. The screen freezes and the mouse pointer doesn't move. It doesn't seem to completely lock up though because when I unplug the power again everything comes back to life again. I have installed the latest Windows 10 drivers I could find to no avail. Anybody have the same experience? Thanks, Carsten

I am happy to report that this is fixed after upgrading the Intel HD Graphics driver from Windows Update via Device Manager. Not sure why that hadn't shown up as available directly in Windows Update.

T61 constantly freezing when plugged in, works on battery power

Hi,
Recently I had my hard drive replaced at an authorized ThinkPad computer center. Things have been working fine for over a month. Recently, I have had the same problem with my laptop. When it is running on battery power, everything works smoothly. Once I plug it in to charge, everything locks up and freezes within 10 seconds without fail. This occurs every time. Even if I put my T61 to sleep or hibernate it, and then start charging, it will not work. I am forced to unplug it and take out the battery and try again. If I start with the computer off but plugged in and boot up Vista, it will either not start up or freeze once I log-in.
Thank you for help in advance.
