My itunes keeps shutting down whenever I connect my ipod. It works otherwise however.

Question

My story is long.  Yesterday, I tried to connect my iPod to my computer to allow it to charge.  Itunes crashed and my computer told me my iPod needed to be reformated.  So I went through the procedures as it showed me on the screen and reformated the iPod.  I tried plugging it in and itunes still crashed.  I've tried reinstalling itunes, resetting the iPod to factory settings (using the itunes program on another computer), restarting the services in administrative tools, deauthorizing and reauthorizing the account, changing the drive letter, and just about everything else I've read that might help online and none of it works.  I tried putting in my brother's iPod to test to see if itunes would work then, and it did.  I'm not sure what the problem is though since I reset the iPod to factory defaults.  Can somebody help?

I downloaded the 64bit system....did it like 3 times.   Finally, I found some other helpful hints.  I tried loading ITUNES in safe mode, still couldn't get it to not shutdown once I connected the IPod, I then logged into one of my other user accounts, then I was able to restore the settings, however, it removed all my songs and syned with the Itunes on that user acct (which was my nano IPod).  That was ok, because then I was able to go back to my regular account and sync and updated all my songs....just had to have my kids authorize me again on Itunes.  Think it's a racket to keep upgrading, changing things and not supporting the stuff that still works.....my classic works just fine nd holds 5,000 songs...I only have about 1500; so I have long way to go.  When my display cracked and the LCD was all messed up. I sent it to IFIXIPODS fast.com and they replaced it, quick and cheap--hats off to them!
