PC automatically shutsdown when I plug my iPod nano 4g into the computer

I've only been able to sync my iPod once, but every other time I plugged it into my computer, a blue screen automatically pops up saying that it's going to shutdown unexpectingly, any ideas? I'd like to update my iPod again some time soon

I've never heard of it.  Here are some standard repair procedures:
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.

    my memory card is not showing up on the home screen when i plug it in but it shows the computer found it in system preferences. when i plugged these into a imac back in school it showed up how come its not showing up on my less then 24hr old mac. sorry beginner mac user

    Finder > Finder Menu > Finder Preferences (these are not in System Preferences)
    The General pane has checkboxes for various devices to show on the Desktop. A memory card is considered an external drive. If you want to see it on the Desktop when it mounts, check the external drives checkbox.

    Clifton I must disagree with you on the above statement. It is my opinion and experience that you should never connect the camera directly to any computer, Mac Windows Whatever.
    It is always best to Remove the memory card from the camera and put it in a card reader, whether an external reader or one built into the computer, to copy images from the card.
    Hi Shootist. I would be interested in hearing some reasoning on this. I almost always use a USB cable to connect my camera to the MBP for transferring pictures, and have moved about 30,000 this way over the last 6 years since my photography went digital. Recently, on the rare occassions when I have only a few to transfer and I was too lazy to go for the cable, I have used the card reader; about half those times I have difficulty getting the MBP to recognise the card. I find I have to press the card very hard into the slot for it to be recognised.
    My rationale is quite possibly wrong, but I feel that the USB connectors are more robust and hard-wearing than the flimsy connectors on an SD card. Also, I haven't measured it, but I think the data transfer is faster with the cable. (I just came across this test, which reports noticeably faster transfer for cable than built-in card reader, but the computer was a PC)
    Chiara, sorry for hijacking your thread.

  • How can I stop it from automatically syncing when I plug my iPod in?

    Is there any way to stop iTunes from popping up and syncing my iPod when I plug it in? I have about 1000 songs that are misplaced and I do NOT want them all erased off of my iPod when I plug it in. Yet, all the ways that are explained mean that you have to plug your iPod into the computer and have iTunes open and sync it just so you can click the box telling it not to sync. ANY way around this? Please help.

    Open the iTunes preferences and turn that option off, or press the Shift and Control keys while connecting the iPod to your computer, releasing them once the iPod appears.
