PC does not boot with Ipod Nano

My configuration:
Shuttle SK83G, Athlon64 3000, Windows XP Pro, Logitech DiNovo wireless desktop.
My problem:
If my Ipod Nano is connected the PC will not boot. The bios screen shows up and then nothing happens. I even can not access the bios. If I remove the ipod the PC will eventually start windows. But in absolute slow motion (I can see how the Windows startup screen fades in step by step).
If I connect my Nano after booting, everything is perfectly fine. Also with my Ipod Mini connected, the PC boots up without a problem.

it's not just a Nano problem, but a USB port problem
That's correct. USB is famous for this. Something in the BIOS (probably) is telling it to try and boot from the nano, but of course it can't find a valid OS there. And the solution is just what you suggested. Don't boot with the nano connected.

24" iMac AlSiO does not boot with iPod video on USB dock

Hello all,
I have already reported this as an issue with Apple.
I noticed that when I turn on my new iMac with the video iPod on the dock connected via USB, I only see the gray screen and the OS does not start. However, once I remove the iPod from the dock, then the Apple logo will show up, and the circular moving tiny line counters will ensue before the login screen appears.
Just wondering if anyone else is running into this problem.

Thanks for the suggestions den.thed and elmac.
I have done the following:
- Selected the Mac OS X on the MacHD as the startup disk and locked that from further changes. Restarting the iMac did not work.
- Verified and repaired permissions. Restarted the iMac and it did not work either.
In addition, I also tried:
- Restoring the video iPod and leaving it without contents. Rebooting the iMac worked.
- Syncing iTunes with the iPod after the restore. The rebooting problem appears again.
It seems like some synced items on the iPod are causing the issue as odd as that sounds.
I did not have this problem with my G5 iMac.
Since there is a workaround, I'll just live with that for now.
Thanks again.

Car usb does not regognize my ipod nano anymore.

My car usb does not recognize my ipod nano, help.

Hey there William,
It sounds like the iPod is not working correctly with the car stereo connection anymore. I recommend this troubleshooting article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581
Troubleshooting tips
Beginning playback and controlling music
Some car stereos may require that playback be started or controlled from either the device or the stereo. Ensure that your car stereo is set to the proper input for your device. If it is and you cannot hear sound from your car speakers, try switching to your radio and then back to the proper input.
When using adapters to connect to your car stereo, you may notice variations in audio quality. When possible, use a shorter connection to the car stereo or try a different cable or adapter.
Disconnect and restart
If you are experiencing difficulties with the connection between your stereo and device, disconnect the device, and then power cycle the stereo and your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. When the Home screen reappears, reconnect your device. If you cannot power cycle the stereo, turn the car off and then back on to allow the stereo to power off.
Isolate the issue
Try to reproduce the issue with an identical or similar accessory, if one is available, or test with a second device.
Example: If you hear static coming from the left audio channel, try connecting a different device or try connecting to a different stereo or accessory that connects over the same interface (30-pin or Lightning connector, Bluetooth, or headphone jack).
Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you have isolated an issue to the device, restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to its factory condition. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue affects only a third-party accessory, contact the accessory manufacturer before restoring your iOS device.
If the device does not update successfully, the issue may lie with the device and not with the accessory. See one of the following articles, depending on your device:
iPhone
iPad
iPod touch
All the best,
Sterling

Itunes does not recognize my ipod nano

itunes does not recognize my ipod nano 6, it is a used one and has 1600 plus songs, it shows the songs, but won't let me do anything with them

I had this exact problem. I had to plug the iPod into a USB port on the back of the computer tower not the fron ones. Hope this helps.

Use iTunes. It is designed to sync a Nano and other Apple devices.

K9AGM3-F does not boot with PCIe 4x device in PCIe 16x slot

K9AGM3-F motherboard does not boot with PCIe 4x Intel PRO/1000 PT dual port network interface card installed into PCIe 16x slot on motherboard. The boot process stops in BIOS screens. The motherboard works flawlessly without this NIC. K9VGM-V + Intel PRO/1000 PT boot successfully. I tried three K9AGM3-F motherboards and two Intel PRO/1000 PT NICs in different combinations, the results are always the same. It appears to be some kind of BIOS problem.

Minor point, probably irrelevant: I said you install the driver f i r s t. Then you put the physical card in.
The driver is completely irrelevant because the driver is a part of operating system, but as I already wrote before the boot process stops long before the OS start.
Quote from: Fredrik Åsenius on 09-April-08, 22:52:27
No stability issues otherwise?
PSU is always good to know.
The PSU is irrelevant too because the same NICs work in the PCIe 1x slot of the same motherboard with the same PSU.

T60 does not boot with Intel T7600G CPU

I replaced my Intel Core Duo T2400 with Intel Core 2 Duo T7600G CPU in ThinkPad T60(1951-CTO) laptop. However, laptop does not boot with Intel Core 2 Duo T7600G CPU. It doesn't even complete the POST: https://db.tt/8UL8FlE0 As seen in the video, I plugged in the power adapter at 0:02 and pressed the power button at 0:06. One can hear a little click made by optical device. If I press the power button again at 0:16, this click does not happen. BIOS version is 2.27. I have reset the BIOS settings by disconnecting the CMOS battery, but this didn't help. Once I replace the T7600G with my old T2400 then I'm able to boot the laptop.
Any ideas what might cause such behavior? Shouldn't there be beep codes in case of CPU issues? What else to try?

Since you came from a T2400, does your T60 even have a Rev. 3 motherboard? If it does not, then no Core 2 Duo will work, only Core Duo's.
I don't claim to be the top authority on T60 motherboards, but I believe any will use a Core 2 T7600, 7400, 7200 if the firmware is updated.
My own experience mirrors what TuuS has stated. I have yet to see a T60/p from any walk of life with a recent BIOS that will bark at a proper Core 2 Duo CPU.

I'm not certain I understand the problem: have you re-installed iTunes 6 and now are unable to purchase iTunes Store music?
I have an iPod Mini and have used it flawlessly with iTunes 7 on both a G5 iMac and a G4 Cube under 10.4.7, so "incompatibility" is not the issue here.
iTunes 6.0.5 indeed does continue to allow iTunes Store music purchases...if your problem persists, get back to us here with more info!

ITunes does not recognize my iPod Nano Gen. 4

I have a MacBook Pro Retina with the latest version of iTunes installed on it and an iPod Nano Gen. 4. The problem that I have is as follows: My Mac does recognize my iPod but just as storage device. iTunes does open when I plug in my iPod but I cannot find any iPod icon on iTunes and therefore cannot upload anything to the iPod via iTunes.
I have performed a reset procedure on the iPod, restarted my Mac, and tried out different USB cables and ports but iTunes still does not recognize my iPod.
How do I solve this problem?

2960X-48FPS-L does not boot with IOS 15.2-2E

Hello,
i got a bunch of 2960X switches. But some of them do not boot with the new IOS Version. The older 15.0-2 EX do boot.
Does anybody have a clue why this happens? During the Bootprocess it just stops to load:
File "flash:/c2960x-universalk9-mz.152-2.E.bin" uncompressed and installed, entry poin0x3000
executing...
Loading "flash:/c2960x-universalk9-m
Thank you for your help.

On the ones that cannot boot 15.2(2)E, can you break the boot cycle using the "Mode" button?
If the answer is "yes", then try the following:
1. Copy the IOS BIN file from a working switch to a USB flash drive;
2. In ROMmon, force the switch to boot the IOS from your USB flash drive;
3. If it does not work, try a different IOS, like the EX3 for instance. Try the same process, boot the BIN from your USB flash drive.
4. If it works, try a different IOS, like EX3, for instance. Downgrade the IOS from 15.2(2)E to EX3 and see if the switch can boot normally.
This exercise will determine where the fault is coming from: IOS bug or a hardware batch problem.
To determine if you'e got a hardware batch problem, you may need to look at the serial number of the switches working and not working. From left to right, look at the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th numerals. This will determine the year and month your appliances were made.

IPhoto on my macbook air does not see my ipod nano 2nd generation. Is there a way to get the photos from this device into my photo stream without wiping them, which will happen if I sync with iTunes

I have photos on an old 2nd generation ipod nano, that have since been wiped from any other source.
I now have a shared photostream through icloud between all my other apple deivces (iphone, ipod, ipad, macbook air, apple tv), but I cant find a way to get the ipod nano photos onto the stream. The original photo files were detroyed with an old computer, that also had the itunes library to which the nano was linked.
The photos are the only items I want from the nano. Can anyone help?

You need to copy the photos off of the Nano and onto your MacBook Air first.
The photos you synced to your iPod through iTunes are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnails of those photos. So if you do manage to get them off your iPod, they will be quite small in size compared to the original ones you lost.
In order to get them off of your iPod, you'll need the help of some sort of 3rd party software. Here is one option.

IMac will not boot with iPod connected

Hello everyone
I have a new iMac Core 2 Duo 17 inch 2.0 ghz and it seems to have a problem starting up when a 5th generation iPod is connected to the computer. When the computer is turned on with the iPod connected, the blank grey screen comes on, yet the apple logo or the spinning startup wheel does not appear. However, if the iPod is unplugged, it will startup as usual. Otherwise, there are no other problems with the computer or iPod.
I have attempted the following to resolve the issue, yet none of the aforementioned troubleshooting ideas have worked
- Reset the PRAM and the SMU
- Run Apple Hardware Test with no probems
- Reinstalled Mac OS Tiger and applications
- Reset the iPod and reimported songs onto iPod
- Enabled and disabled hard disk mode for iPod
I know that I can simply let the iPod be disconnected at startup; however, I feel like this should not have to be done with a new Apple product. Please let me know any other advice or if anyone has experienced the same issue.
Thanks!
Dave
iMac Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Have you reset your Startup Disk preference? If not, do so to see if that resolves your issue. It sounds as if your iMac is looking to try and boot from the iPod's disk.

Macbook air does not connect with iPod

I have an Ipod Nano 6th gen that will not link up with my Macbook air 15" 2011. It does not show up on Itunes nor in my Finder menu. I have reformatted the device, reinstalled Itunes 10, and have verified that my USB cable is in proper working fashion. I am only experience this issue when i try to connect apple products with my macbook; my blackberry syncs just fine with my macbook. I really need to know what I can do to get my Macbook to start accepting connections with Apple products. Please help soon! thanks!

See this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
FIX:
1. You need Time Machine
2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.

My computer does not recognize my ipod nano

my ipod first gen can not be recognize my computer or on itunes if tried disk mode

Have you tried a different USB cable or connecting it to a different port? Does the iPod still charge when you plug it in? Does it appear in Device Manager?
If possible, connect the iPod to another computer to see if it's recognized there. If it ins't, it's a proble with your Nano, and if it is, it's a problem with your PC.
