My PC Freezes when I plug in my IPod Nano!!! Please HELP!!!!

Hello, I just bought a refurbished ipod nano and everything works fine until I plug it into my computer I do not know what to do please help me.
P.S. If this has been brought up already I am sorry I didn't have time to search for it.
Thanx

Same problem. Im running on a sony vaio and everything just stops working until i unplug my ipod. I'm really getting annoyed with this. I even tried running it through winamp, and that froze even worse. Im able to close all the windows and whatnot, but when i try to terminate an application through task manager, it doesnt go away until i unplug my ipod, meaning i cant restart itunes without unplugging my ipod. then i unplug and it works fine. then i plug back in and it freezes up again!

  • My PC restarts when I plug in my iPod Nano.

    Hi. Can anyone please help? Sometimes when I plug in my iPod Nano my computer re-boots. It doesn't always do a clean re-boot and I have to unplug the Nano and re-set the computer a couple of times. I have seen similar problems on this forum, and no, I am not using Aluria Spyware Eliminator. I use Norton Anti-virus.
    Help!

    Brian, another way of looking at this is: how many devices do you have connected to the USB port (the same one)? I've found through using external storage devices that one port can handle two devices. I had four going at once one time, but the same thing happened, only two would evenually connect.
    There's a limit to connections per USB port, I'm just trying to see if you have too many connectins on one port. If so, obviously, if you have other USB ports available, plug the nano into it's own port and see if that "cures" the missing nano.

  • ITunes quits when I plug in my iPod Nano

    Good day,
    When I plug in my iPod nano, iTunes opens and starts to sync my iPod and then after about 6 secs iTunes closes unexpectedly. My iPod is no longer visible on my desktop even though it is still plug into my computer via a USB port.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and am still having the same problem.
    I also tried to restore my iPod, but can't figure out how to do this without iTunes and I can't restore using iTunes because it keeps closing unexpectedly before I can complete the operation.
    Any help would really be appreciated.
    thank you,

    Someone told me how to prevent my iPod from syncing when I plugged it into my iMac: go into Preferences in iTunes. Click on Devices. Tick the Prevent ipods ... from syncing automatically. Open iTunes. Plug in your ipod. Click on your iPod. Choose Restore.
    I did a Restore and now my iPod is syncing just fine and iTunes is not closing unexpectedly. Yay.

  • When I plug in my IPOD Nano into a USB port, the computer recognizes it as a printer.  It then attempts to install the printer software, which is already installed.  The only way to fix it is to unplug the printer.  Any thoughts?

  • When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes, a lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this and how can I get rid of it to free up some space?

    When I plug in my iPod nano 4th gen to iTunes and click on my iPod, I can see a graph showing how much space is available on my iPod and what it is being taken up by.  A lot of space is taken up by 'other'. What is this? I have a big iTunes library, with about 2000 songs, so I don't want all this space taken up by something I don't know what it is. How can I get rid of it?

    OmniDiskSweeper is a good program to see what's taking up space: http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omnidisksweeper/

    Hello there, LaruaGalliers.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some great troubleshooting steps for your issue:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
    Particularly:
    Battery does not charge
    Verify that the outlet being used is working.
    Try another USB power adapter if available.
    If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
    Try another USB cable if available.
    iPhone or iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
    If you see the image below, charge the iPhone or iPod touch with USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.    
    You should see this image when iPhone or iPod touch begins to charge:
    If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning the iPhone or iPod touch off and then on again.
    If the issue persists, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • My Itunes freezes when I plug in my ipod and wont verify or sync

    My Itunes freezes every time I try to plug in my ipod classic. It wont verify my ipod so it can't sync or update it. I have to shut down and restart my computer to get it to function at all. I have had my ipod for awhile and have had no problems with it and my Iphone connects and syncs just fine. My Itunes is up dated with the latest version and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. I have reset my ipod multiple times. I can't even restore my ipod because it freezes so fast I cant get the restore started. Someone PLEASE HELP!!

  • Itunes freezes when I plug in my Ipod Touch - what should I do?

    I know that this has been asked numerous times, but I haven't found a solution yet. The basics:
    It was working fine yesterday, but when i plug in my ipod, itunes won't recognize it and it will freeze until I remove the ipod.
    My 3rd gen ipod touch, when I try to access my music and videos (my photos are still there), just goes to a white screen.
    After going to settings and about in my ipod, next to music and videos, it just says loading and won't do anything else.
    I've reinstalled itunes and it has the latest update.
    I've restarted my ipod many times.
    I don't know what else to do. Everything else runs fine, the apps and internet connectivity is all great. Can someone please help me? This has been an absolutely terrible month and my ipod crashing is the icing on the cake from ****.

  • ITunes completely freezes when I plug in my iPod Touch

    Hi...
    I just got an iPod Touch 8GB for Xmas. Its been working great since I got it, but just started to not work with iTunes. iTunes has not brought me any problems, either. Both work great, but when they are "together", iTunes freezes.
    When it's not plugged in, I can access everything in iTunes, but when I plug it in, it freezes, and end up having to go through the whole CtrlAltDel process. I cant update software, music or video to my iPod.
    I have done everything. Restarted both my computer and iPod. I reinstalled iTunes. It is charged. I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO!
    If anyone could troubleshoot this for me or it's happened/happening to you, please post a reply. iTunes is in it's most current version (8.0.2.20), and everything else is up to date.
    Thanks

  • Why does iTunes on my Macbook Pro crash when I plug in my iPod Nano or Classic to sync?

    When I plug my iPod Nano or Classic into my MacBook Pro, with iTunes already open, it crashes iTunes.  Plus, the device doesn't show up in the device column on the left, but on the upper right of the desktop.

    Hi monicaxh1,
    Here is an article of troubleshooting for when your iPod does not appear in iTunes:
