My mac will restart & show Blue Screen when plugged ipod classic into my mac

When i plugged ipod into my mac and i put to the Disk Mode my ipod , the computer will restart & don't let me to restore my ipod !!!! Please help and give me a solution !!!
My ipod & mac info :
iPod Classic 160gb (2009)
Mac Book Pro (2011)
iTunes 11.1.3

If your computer is  a 2011, you can stop the blue screen by turning off graphic card switching.  Under apple, system preferences, energy, uncheck box.  Temporary fix.  Your logic board may need to be replaced if you are under warranty or have apple care otherwise $1000.00.  May be software or firmware problem but apple has provided no info.  Replacing logic board has corrected problem for some users and not others.  Everything I've mentioned only applies to 2011 MBPs.

  • Blue screen when connect iPod classic

    I tried to connect my new iPod classic for the first time and continually get the blue screen of death. I had been using a Nano (2nd gen, not the video one) on this PC without problems, but now when I try to connect the Nano I also get the blue screen. The blue screen references ousbehci.sys for either iPod and says DRIVERIRQL_NOT_LESS_OREQUAL with the Nano only.

    I have been working on my little step brothers ipod all day and night trying to fix this problem. I was Googling the issue and i finally came up to a very very old thread from november on the apple support site. I followed the steps and it worked perfectly, I hope this has the same outcome for you as well. The following is the thread that I found.
    "Okay, here was my problem….sounds similar to yours but whenever I plugged in my new iPod Classic I got the “blue screen” of death and it shut my computer down. After spending over an hour on the phone with Apple support we were able to resolve the issue.
    Right click on “my computer” and select “properties”
    Click the “hardware” tab and then select “device manager”
    Click the + sign next to “universal bus controllers”
    Right click on any items that identified as “usb host controller” or “usb universal host controller”
    Click “update driver”, select “yes, this time only” and the next button
    Select “install the software automatically” and the next button
    It will automatically search and install updated drivers
    If you have more than one item on your “device manager” that says “universal bus controllers”; follow the same steps above on all items. I had two “universal bus controllers” on my “device manager” because I had installed an after market USB2 card. After I did the updates it merged them into one.
    My iPod Classic “synced” perfectly after I installed the updates. Hope it works for you!"

  • Blue Screen when syncing IPOD

    I have been perusing the threads and I am beginning to see some common problems with a few others out there. The Blue screen STOP messages seem to be happneing to others.
    I have tried everything including updating windows with the newly released patch today.
    Do any of you "experts" out there think that this problem might have to do with the recent windows vulnerability and the long awaited patch released today?
    There are lots of news reports out there indicating that this particular windows flaw was very critical and my problems started right about the time the flaw was recognized.
    I restored my IPOD as suggested with the 5 R's and now I am bummed because my IPOD is empty and I finally got my PC to recognize the IPOD but everytime I resynch all of my 37 gigs of MP3s to my IPOD, my PC crashes after about 100 MP3s and gives me the Stop message and this error string -
    STOP: 0x0000007E (0x0000005, 0xDF1BA804, 0xF89FB89C, 0xF89FB598)
    Can anyone please help us?
    thanks

    Not sure I'd care to be called an expert (or even an "expert").
    As the discovery of this "flaw" coincided with the onset of your problem I rather doubt it is the cause, since the flaw must have existed before it was discovered. Blue screens are often (but not always) caused by broken drivers or memory problems. If your OS is generally stable, then it does tend to point towards some sort of a driver issue. It seems to me that the 5R's tends to focus attention on the iPod (I guess apple presume that the OS is OK or they just don't want to go there!). Some people might argue that no (normal) device you attach to the comp should cause it to crash, but that is rather academic for you right now. My suspicion is that it is a problem with the comp - well a device driver or memory. Another possibility is that there is more than one problem - and whichever problem happens first triggers the other.
    I doubt if the latest Microsoft patches will fix your problem - but who knows! I'd download and run a decent memory test program (e.g. Memtest86) and make sure you eliminate that as a cause. Are you in a position to attempt a restore? That might be worth considering. Otherwise, try doing a complete uninstall of iTunes and the IPod software and starting over. As a last resort you might need to consider re-installing windows.
    I guess you've already done all of the obvious comp things (like running chkdsk). Have you, or are you able to test the iPod on a different comp?

  • Blue Screen when connecting iPod Touch -

    Hello,
    unfortunately I have no points to reward an answer.
    Still, I get my chance to get one from a friendly and understanding person.
    The iPod Touch is a "September edition" with firmware 1.1.4 (4A102) lately updated.
    Whenever I connect he iPod, my PC immediately crashes with a bluescreen.
    I didn't have such problem with previous firmware. I guess I could come back to 1.1.3 and wait for 1.1.5. However, I would rather do it only if there is no other solution.
    Thank you in advance for any information and kind regards,
    Richidee

    Hi Richidee and welcome to Apple Discussions Forum!
    Well, try to follow the instructions above written:
    Go to the computer's properties (Right-click on "My Computer");
    Click the “Hardware” tab and then hit “Device Manager”. A new pop-up window will appear;
    Click the plus sign next to “Universal Bus Controllers” to enlarge their list;
    Right click on any items that identified as “Usb Host Controller” or “Usb Universal Host Controller”;
    Then lick “Update Ddriver”, and configure it to do “this time only” and then hit next button;
    Select “Install the Software Automatically”
    It will automatically search and install updated drivers. This should work, the problem comes from your PC and not from your iPod.
    PS: You don't need to have points to reward other users with points. Just click "Helpuful" or "Solved" over any post.
    Hope this helps!

  • Computer goes to blue screen when ipod plugged in.

    I have tried all angles on this and still haven't been able to figure out.  Can somebody please offer some new knowledge?  I have tried some older suggestions awithout resolution.  Here is what is happening using Windows 7/lastest updated itunes and ipod 80g classic:
    My ipod was completely erased after trying to update through itunes as i normally do.  Now when i plug ipod into the itunes, it will not be recognized in the left column and after about 3 minutes my entire computer will go to blue screen and reboot itself.  I have tried restoring, checked diagnostics on ipod.  I think I may need some more info on opening itunes in safe mode and beginning from there, however I'm open for any other suggestions/links.  Thank You

    First off, have you made sure your Windows OS is up to date with all the latest patches and updates?  Have you also checked with your PC's manufacturer (such as Dell, Toshiba, etc) to make sure you have all the latest drivers, firmware and BIOS installed?
    Does the PC ever blue screen when the iPod is NOT connected?

  • Iphone 5S ramdomly restarts, turns off itself, screen shows blue screen sometimes

    I am having problem with my iPhone 5S since Tuesday. The phone restarts itself while using like during making calls or surfing internet, the phone turns off automatically and sometimes shows blue screen. I called apple support and they told me to connect my iPhone to iTunes and they had me reset everything like factory resetting and stuff like that. After we did that the phone started working but very next day again I started having same problem, my phone completely turned off by itself and I couldn’t turned it on by pressing power button so I went to apple store at Grand Central made an appointment and I waited there like 45 minutes for my turn. I explained everything and the guy from genius bar he pressed menu button and the power button together and boom… the phone was back on. He checked the phone and says nothing wrong with the phone and I told him everything about the issues. He said if problem happens again come back and we will replace your phone as I recently bought this IPhone and is still under warranty. I came back home and again my phone started acting up…same problem you never know when your phones gonna be turned off….somebody calls you don’t hear nothing funny part is those people who are calling me says phone keeps ringing you don’t pick up. So I made an appointment today I went back to Grand Central apple store, I explained everything today in detail and told them I am using I phone since the time when Iphone 3G came in and I have other iphones too at home and none of them had this kind of problem before. I am really upset with my phone, it's giving me hard time. The guy checked the phone and said phone is working fine nothing wrong with it. Now what I am gonna do? I said please give me replacement phone ‘cause I think there is something wrong with this phone hardware, firmware whatever…He said he can’t, he thinks I am lying. Why should I waste my time going there back and forth after work when you are so tired from your job? Can anyone please suggest what could be the problem?? How to deal with this problem? Thank you
    Message was edited by: Topgyal

    Call in again and explain the situation.  Ask to speak with a supervisor.  There are things they can do to document and confirm your issue that way you can get it serviced.  Just be sure before returning to the store, you have a case number from the call where they documented to service the device.  This process sometimes takes a few days as domes the supervisors need to escalate your information to ensure an outcome in your interest.  That would be my recommendation.

  • IMac will only safe boot (blue screen when not safe booting).

    A buddy asked me to help with his Intel based iMac. It was giving a blue screen when trying to boot up (and an odd cursor along with the blue screen). The cursor moves around the blue screen but looks like two cursors. One cursor is a normal arrow pointer, the second is a rectangle about .25 inch wide and 1 inch tall made up of about 10 horizontal lines.
    I'm very familiar with Macs and OS X and was sure it was probably a messed up preference file (most likely login preference). It wasn't.
    Here's the odd circumstances:
    I have an intel macbook that if I use firewire target disk mode I can boot just fine off his iMac.
    His computer will not boot off my Macbook that is in firewire target disk mode.
    We cloned his hard drive to an external firewire hard drive (using Carbon Copy Cloner), my Macbook boots off it just fine, his iMac will not.
    He's been wanting to go to Leopard so we upgraded his computer (did basic upgrade), but it still blue screened (with odd cursor).
    Then we did an erase and install. Still no difference in behavior.
    I would almost be convinced that it's a hardware failure, but it will safe boot every time.
    Here's what happened when it died. His son was playing a Star Wars game (I'm not sure which one). The kid was in the middle of the game and paused it when it was time for dinner. When the kid went back to play, the computer was frozen. They tried everything to unfreeze it and ended up powering it down. Started the blue screen ever since.
    He's going to contact Apple (it's barely still under it's warranty) but I was hoping someone here has another idea what it could be.

    I found this topic while trying to find an answer to my problem. It seems we have a similar thing going on with our imacs (although mine is a much older crt imac). I'll copy and paste my original post from the imac board :
    Hi
    I received a free imac snow (G3 500mhz) from someone. He told me it was broke, and someone told him the logic board needed to be replaced.
    I brought it home and tried to start it up. It gave the '?' folder icon. I started up from an OS 9.1 cd - Success! Except there was no HD. I opened it up and discovered that the HD wasn't connect to the ATA cable. I was able to start up to a previously installed Tiger. Except once it booted it would quickly freeze - the mouse pointer would turn into a scrambled beach ball (very strange) and wouldn't move.
    I did some research and found about the potential problem with OS X and the imac's firmware. I restarted from the 9.1 CD and installed that OS. Everything seemed fine and was running ok (from my limited time on it). I then DL'd the latest firmware for the imac (4.1.9.) and tried to run it. Except the message came up that the latest firmware had already been installed. So i guess thats a good thing. I don't have to worry about firmware being a problem.
    So i did a zero out wipe on the HD and installed tiger from the dvd. But on the first restart after installation (where i should go to the set up assistant) I get the scrambled beach ball and it freezes.
    I thought perhaps the HD is faulty and ran disk utility on it - it came back as fine. I doubled checked to make sure it was set to 'master'. it sure was. I decided to swap out the HD anyways since i can't see what else could be the problem and put in a different 30gb IDE drive. I once again zeroed out the drive and did a fresh install of tiger. On restart i get the same scrambled beach ball and the freeze.
    I guess i should describe the scrambled beach ball. It's seems like the beach ball icon, except the bits that make it up are out of order and glitched out.. perhaps a video problem?
    Could this really be a logic board problem? It was working in OS 9.1 fine. It starts up from system CDs and DVDs fine. Wouldn't a logic board exhibit the same problems on those systems?
    Anyone have any idea?
    Update - starting in Safe mode (restart with shift held down) works, and i was able to update to the latest version of Tiger, but once i restart with the full system i get the same problem.
    This seems to me that it ISN'T a logic board problem, but more of a system software problem. Now my question is how do i isolate and fix the problem in Tiger?
    I guess i'll post this question in the Tiger forum, but if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
    Thanks

  • Retina Mac shows gray screen when waking up: what to do besides loosing work?

    (see also http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/96188/retina-mac-shows-gray-screen-when -waking-up )
    This is the first time that my Retina MacBook Pro wakes up from sleep with a gray screen. After about 10-20 seconds, the MacBook falls asleep again.
    Some points that might be relevant:
    The only difference between power adapter and no power adapter is that with power adapter it does not go to sleep again.
    The battery is almost full (I closed the lid last night when it was about 90%)
    An external monitor was not attached when sleeping it, so I don't think How to fix a Macbook that does not always draw its internal screen after waking from sleep and having unplugged external display while asleep? applies.
    I've run gfxCardStatus, almost always in "force integrated mode" (to conserve battery). And normally it wakes up correctly.
    I run VMware Fusion 4.
    All software is up-to-date and fully patched.
    I tried to plugin an HDMI monitor and switch displays with Command-Fn-F1 and Command-Fn-F2, but that did not help (it would not switch displays).Before trying to:
    reboot (by force a power off),
    reset SMC
    and/or reset PRAM/NVRAM
    What options do I have that do not loose my work?
    sleep-wake retina-macbook-pro battery

    Those keys do not reinstall OS X. To do that:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    COMMAND-OPTION-P-R keys resets the PRAM. OS X keyboard shortcuts.

  • My mac will not show images when on the internet?

    My mac will not show images when on the internet?  I think I have inadvertently changed some settings but nor sure which one.

    I am going to assume you are using Safari here. If so then go to the Apple menu bar and hit Safari-> Preferences.  Under the Apperance tab there is a check box that is called "Display images when the page opens".  Check if that is unticked.

  • Blue screen when re-opening iTunes 9.0.3 w/ iPod Classic already plugged in

    I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this or something similar.
    I have already reported this as a potential bug to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    This is regarding iTunes 9.0.3.15 for Windows
    Potential bug: Windows blue screen (SYSTEMSERVICEEXCEPTION) when re-opening iTunes with iPod Classic 120GB already plugged into USB port.
    I have been able to replicate this problem twice now. Here are the exact steps:
    1. Plug iPod Classic 120GB (bought new in November 2008) into a USB port and iTunes opens and syncs (I have it set to manually manage my iPod).
    2. Use iTunes for a bit, then click the eject icon next to my iPod in iTunes (when it's not syncing) but leave iPod plugged into the USB port (to charge).
    3. Close iTunes and use Internet Explorer for a few minutes and close Internet Explorer (with no other apps running).
    4. Open iTunes. iTunes connects to iPod (iPod screen shows "Connected").
    5. Scroll through the iTunes Music Library in List view, click any music file and a Windows Blue Screen appears (SYSTEMSERVICEEXCEPTION), does a memory dump and then forces the computer to restart.
    So far, the blue screen only occurs under these specific circumstances. I do not know if this problem existed before iTunes 9.0.3.15 as I have never tried the above steps in earlier versions. I just happened to be able to retrace my steps to notice the blue screen problem in 9.0.3.15
    This is the first time I have ever encountered a Windows Vista blue screen error in the year and half I have used Vista.
    I am running Windows Vista SP1 64-bit on an HP Pavilion dv7-1014ca notebook.

    I've gotten the exact same error message and problem... When I connect my iPod Nano 3Gen, iTunes comes up -- syncing begins -- and then immediately triggers a blue screen with the SystemServiceException error and a crash dump is generated. I have been unable to find a resolution in 3-4 weeks of searching, including HP Technical Support, trolling the Windows 7 Support sites, and now, here. The Advice given by HP was to uninstall all USB drivers and let reboot reinstall them. That didn't work. Then they asked me to reboot my PC, hit F10 until the BIOS came up, and then find and disable the "enable legacy USB" capability -- except that no such setting is available in my BIOS. Obviously it's a driver issue, and just as obviously it's a Windows 7 / iTunes issue -- but no one is offering a solution, yet.

  • Blue screen when unplugging phone charger from USB

    My HTC Droid incredible 2 causes windows 7 crash (blue screen) when I unplug charger cable from desktop USB port.  It does not matter whether I have unplugged the phone from charger BEFORE unplugging the charger cable from the USB port.  Has anyone else had this issue & resolved it?

    On your lower right hand corner is an icon that is used to disconnect your usb devices safely.
    simply click on it then select the device you want to remove, the computer will say "Device is safe to remove" then unplug the usb cable from the computer.
    Additionally try another usb port on your computer and see if that corrects the problem.
    Another thing to do is before you hook the phone up again do a system shut down and restart. Then plug in the phone. This may load your usb drivers correctly or the system will repair them.
    Good Luck

  • Lenovo thinkpad L412 blue screen when i move my laptop

    i am using lenovo thinkpad L412 laptop
    my screen gets blue screen when i move my laptop. if i dont move it it just works fine.
    i tried to update my stytem for latest driver and software but still problem doesnt go away.
    i also run the diagnostic test for hardware but it doesnt show any problem.

    You can't have a blue screen in bios, blue screens are a "feature" of Windows OS.
    What is the error code mentioned on the blue screen? This could give information about the nature of the problem.
    You could also try to boot from a Linux Live cd distribution, such as Ubuntu for example (no need to install it, just boot from it). If the Live cd works well then most probably this is not a hardware problem but drivers related as somebody already suggested.
    Please tell us the machine type of your laptop, the operating system used and any hardware changes you have made (added memory, changed hard disk etc). Give as much details as possible!
