MY MAC TURNS OFF AFTER CONNECTING MY IPOD SHUFFLE

Every time I connect my ipod shuffle to either my macbook pro or Imac, the computer shuts off.  Can anyone assist me with this issue?

Hello bjc, 3418,
It sounds like your iPod is causing any computer you plug it into to turn off unexpectedly. If you've already tried a different usb cable, I would reset the iPod and test it again.

Then if the issue persists, it sounds to me like that will need service to fix this iPod:

  • Can't turn off after connect to PC or Camera

    I have an iPod Video 60GB Model MA003ZP which I bought in November 2005.
    My iPod always have problem that everytime I connect my iPod to PC or digital camera (via camera connector) and then I disconnect it (waiting the icon do not disconnect to disappear first).
    After I disconnect my iPod, I cannot turn off my iPod immediately or even I tried to reset iPod, I still could not turn it off.
    From my observation, everytime I disconnect my iPod from PC or camera, the harddisk will keep moving or busy about 5 mins after disconnect. And then when the harddisk stop, I will be able to turn the iPod off.
    I compare with myfried iPod Video 60 GB Model MA1XXX, it do not have the problem like mine.
    I go to the Mac shop that I bought they suggest me to update software from 1.0 to 1.1. I did it and the problem is still there.
    Is it the harddisk problem on my model? Hope support team can help me.

    Sounds like a similar problem to what I've had. After importing photos thru the camera connector I've had major problems that I'm still trying to solve... my ipod wouldn't play any music, it kept skipping everything and taking a very long time to respond (it took a good 60sec to turn it off). It also used all the battery in about an hour (and was fully charged to start off with). I went looking for the photos to delete, but they didn't seem to exist! Got the thing home, charged it up and managed to delete the photos. BUT, ipod will skip first 4-5 songs before deciding to play something, is **** slow to respond and keep eating thru the battery. any reason for this madness and any solutions apart from restoring it (computer hard drive rebuilt over xmas, and no back up of course...)

  • My mac turned off after installing i os x lion

    turned off but still on just that the screen is black, its been 45 min since that had happen to me
    thank you!

    Hello toav,
    It sounds like you can hear that your MacBook Pro is on, but you do not see anything on the screen.  I definitely understand your concern with this.
    I found an article with steps to troubleshoot issues with displays.  This article is for internal and external displays, so you can skip any steps referring to an external display.  I recommend reviewing the full article, but this step specifically stands out to me:
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    You can find the full article here:

    I have the exact same problem trying to use the Remote app on both my iPhone 3gs and iPad 2 with either my Mac or ATV2.  My Remote app used to work on my phone - I can't recall if I ever actually used it with my iPad, but when I tried today, I got all the same results as you did (on both iPad, and then iPhone).  I  was using my ATV2 to play music from iTunes on my Mac and wanted to use the Remote app, but it would not connect to either device no matter what I did.

  • My ipod only goes to the apple screen and freezes then turns off after about a minute. Is this fixable?

    My ipod only goes to the apple screen and freezes then turns off after about a minute. Is this fixable?

    Try a system reset.  It's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • My ipod due not turn off after it go into water

    my ipod touch 4g due not turn off after it go into water the screen dont work only the block botton and the menu one. if you can answer i will be thank you to you.

    Dry the iPod by:
    How to fix a wet iPod or iPhone | eHow.com
    Then try the standard fixes:
    Reset:
    - Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Retore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If still problem then your iPod needs service.

    Hello
    Did you check the power saver settings?
    Push he first slider far to the right up to never so that your Mac Mini never stops.
    Also untick the suspend hard drive activity as soon as possible to avoid lag on your Minecraft server.

  • Macbook Pro won't login after sleep (sleep with low battery -- mac turned off maybe it's called save sleep)

    Macbook Pro won't login after sleep (sleep with low battery --> mac turned off maybe it's called save sleep)
    So if I hit the powerbutton my mbp booted like it is booting from the save sleep (so very fast and the login screen is there in about 10 sec.and there is no apple logo while booting just the desktop screen in "unsharp" ore foggy however...)
    Then when i see the login (if the keyboard backlight turned on) i wand do tipe in my code but it won't work... the trackpad is not working; and when i plug-in a usb mouse the mbp is not powering on the usb-mouse (laser is off)
    Why is that this way?
    Is there n option to wake up the mbp fromm deep/save sleep without haveing issiues after that?

    Sorry for such a long delayed response...
    I was able to get to an apple store this past weekend, and let me tell you... I'm about finished with there great "support".
    Right before I went to the store, I tried to eject a disk. Well the cloth in the SuperDrive (I assume to protect the drive from dust and such) Pulled up with my disk. So I get the Apple store, describe my problem and what happened with the cloth piece. The "Genius" writes up a form and tells me they have to run diagnostic and it will take a couple days... and I will get a call when its done (1-3 days).
    Well on day number 3 I called up the store and they told me it was ready to be picked up? I asked if anything had been fixed and they told me they could not reproduce my "sleep issue", so they couldn't fix that.. but told me the cloth piece in the SuperDrive had been fixed.
    I drive an hour (one way) to the Apple store to find that all they did was PULLED OUT the cloth... they did not replace it! So basically I have a hole for a Super Drive.
    I asked why I was not called to say that my computer was ready to be picked up... didn't get an answer on that one.
    I asked why my SuperDrive was said to be fixed, when nothing was done... they told me that it would have to be sent out to the factory store for that to be fixed (FIRST TIME THEY MENTIONED THAT!) Oh, and that would take 5-7 business days. Well that's not going to happen right now considering I'm a college student that NEEDS a working computer!
    So I go home, angry... start just putting all my important documents back on the computer. And the screen starts blinking!!!! I guess now I have the same thing described in another post on these forms...
    Lets just say that I'm not very happy with Apple right now! If anybody else has success on either the sleep issue or the screen blinking issue, please let me know!
    Thank you!

    It may very well be a RAM issue but possibly something else.  Look over this extensive troubleshooting document for a possible solution:

  • My ipod touch 4th gen froze! blank white screen and doesn't respond when turned off, or connected to my laptop

    my ipod touch 4th gen froze! only blank white screen and doesn't respond when turned off or connected to my laptop!

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

    I figured it out.  Headphones were not plugged all the way in.  This support community is awesome.  Thanks everyone.
