My computer freezes when I connect my iPod

My iPod won't turn on, I've left it plugged in my iHome to charge for 4+ hours. After that didn't work I decided to plug it into my computer to do the restore feature. but when I plugged my iPod in, my computer freezes up. It stays that way and won't do anything. If I unplug the iPod my computer unfreezes.

I was having the same problem connecting to USB 1.1 on my PC. I installed A USB 2.0 adapter in my PC and plug the iPod into it. Now my PC does not freeze and the iPod works perfectly.
Not sure if this will solve your problem but it did mine.

  • Itunes freezes when i connect my ipod classic 120GB, please help

    hello,
    I got a problem with my itunes/ipod, I believe it's my ipod.
    My Itunes freezes when i connect my ipod to my computer (windows 7 Professional, latest version of itunes),
    it started when i've connected my ipod to itunes and I just plugged it out when it was syncronizing.
    after that my whole content (music, pic's, video's) are deleted. The default stuff is the only thing what's left on it.
    And now every time I connnect my ipod classic my itunes freezes. I've installed itunes on my new computer but it keeps doing nothing..
    I've tried the support pages from apple but I just can't fix this problem, please help.

    See Corrupt iPod classic.

  • Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

    Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

    You can't do that.
    And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.

  • My itunes freezes when I connect my ipod....help!!

    I have installed the new update (Windows 8 64 bit)  & my itunes freezes when I connect my ipod.    

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • My computer restar when i connect the ipod

    So you connect the iPod to an USB port, and then your computer immediately restarts with no further action from you? That's very odd...
    Try removing all USB peripherals (including any hubs) except for your keyboard and mouse, and then connect the iPod directly to one of the USB ports on the computer. If that makes it work, connect your devices one at a time.
    thanks that works i finally can use my ipod

  • My computer freezes when I connect either of my two Classic iPods. As soon as I disconnect the computer functions normall. This happens whether I have iTunes open or not

    When I connect either of my iPod Classics my computer freezes whether I have iTunes open or not. I have a second computer which functions normally when I connect my iPods. Any advice would be welcome.

    Your problematic PC, has some software or most likely the Winsocks of some plugins is in conflict with iTunes, if both PC has the same version of iTunes and Windows.
    If you run the Task manager, compare both PC and see what process is missing in the good one, and that software is the culprit.
    Then removed it from your bad PC, if you dont need it, but most likely you'll need it, as it is the graphic card or some video software.
    Have a nice day!

  • Computer freezes when i connect ipod mini 4gb

    i have a problem with my ipod mini 4gb (2nd gen.) for like 2months, it freezes when i connect it to my windows computer.
    i tried to reset my ipod en reinstal itunes, but nothing worked. PLEASE HELP!

    Hmm... See, I've tried that already (And just tried it again) and instead of allowing me to run it, the computer freezes entirely, just as it would if the "Restart your computer" message came up, only it doesn't show the text, and nor does the screen dim. The only thing I can do at that point is hold down the power button, thusly shutting the computer down. So I cannot restore my iPod that way. Are there any other ways? Or does anyone perhaps have any other suggestions?

  • ITunes 11.1 freezes when I connect my ipod Touch 5g w/ ios 7

    I recently downloaded ios 7 for my ipod touch 5g. I didn't have a problem with ios 7 as I actually kind of liked it. However, when I tried to sync my music, itunes told me that i needed to download version 11.1 because it supports ios 7. I downloaded it and hooked my ipod up. Whenever I do this, it freezes/crashes my computer afeter about 10 seconds. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    Hello rise92,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes 11.1 and your iPod touch.  I found an article with steps you can take if iTunes stops responding when you connect your iPod:

  • Itunes freezes when I connect my ipod....possible corrupt file?

    I reinstalled itunes to the latest version.
    And I'm still having the same problem: My itunes freezes whenever I connect my ipod. And when i disconnect it, it unfreezes and it shows "My Ipod" in itunes for like a second then goes away.
    Now, when I reinstalled again, i noticed a message saying that Windows is missing components required to fully install Itunes (itunes installed anyway) or something like that. Now, i connected it to my parents' pc and it works fine.
    Is there something wrong with my pc? Is there a different program where i can transfer my music to my ipod? (I am using Windows XP btw)
    Also is there a way to move all the songs on my ipod to an external hard drive?

  • I just got a new computer.  When I connect my IPod to ITunes, it says I need to transfer my files to I Tunes from my IPod.  How do I do this?

    I just got a new computer with Windows 7.  I installed ITunes, and when I connect my IPod Touch 3rd generation, it says I need to transfer my files to ITunes before I sent or all data will be erased from my IPod.  Unfortunately, it doesn't tell me how.  Please help.

    This will transfere iTunes purchases:

    After you get the stuff in your iTunes' library let iTunes erase your iPod and replace it contents with what is now in your iTunes' library.

  • Computer reboots when I connect my iPod to a USB 2.0 slot

    Here are my specs:
    - I have the new iPod 60 GigaByte hardrive version.
    - Operating System on my PC: Windows XP
    - CPU: AMD Athalon XP 1.8 gHz
    - My PC is several years old and has four built-in USB 1.1 slots. My iPod works on all of these USB 1.1 ports, albeit slow. (And when I connect iPod to these slots, I get the message telling me I have a high speed device connected to a non-high speed USB port, which I understand.)
    - I just installed a Dual-Link USB 2.0 and Firewire PCI card (from ADS tech) into an empty PCI slot on my PC. It has 3 USB 2.0 slots and two Fire-wire slots. The card is properly installed because windows immediately recognized it.
    Now, I have tested two other devices on my new USB 2.0 slots. I have tested my mouse and a logitech gaming controller (although these devices are actually based on the older USB 1.1 technology), and these devices work in the USB 2.0 slots.
    But, when I connect the iPod to any of the USB 2.0 slots, I get the little bell sound meaning that the computer is recognizing it. The iPod then displays the "Do not disconnect" message. But then the computer will begin rebooting by iteself. It will then attempt to reboot windows and almost gets there, but then reboots again. It continues this never-ending cycle of rebooting until I disconnect the iPod and then the computer reboots completely. Inserting the iPod will cause it to reboot again. This happens whether or not I have the iTunes program running.
    Can anyone give me insight for resolving this problem? Has anyone else had this problem before?

  • ITunes freezes when I connect my iPod/weird clicking noise

    Hi, recently I've tried connecting my iPod to my laptop and iTunes would freeze and task manager said it wasn't responding. In addition, when this happened, my iPod would make a weird clicking noise. I noticed this noise before when I had it on shuffle and would skip to a different song just after another song started. Does anyone know what's going on?
