Podcast Shuts Down iPod

Since upgrading my 60gb iPod and to iTunes 7, nearly all my podcasts shut down my iPod and cause it to reboot. Weird, huh? It happens with all but one of the 15 or so podcasts I subscribe to (most from KCRW). I tried deleting them and resubscribing, but no luck? Any ideas? Very frustrating!

I'm having the same problem with the one podcast I download from KCRW. I've resorted to playing it on my computer and capturing it to an mp3 file that I transfer to the iPod. Sad, isn't it?

Podcasts shut down iPod

When I download a podcast from iTunes, it will play for about 20 seconds then my iPod shuts down, restarts and goes to the menu. I have tried converting the podcast to AAC but the same thing happens. I have a 5th gen. iPod and the software is 1.1. Any ideas as to the problem or solution?

- Reset the iPod:

Ipod shuts down on some podcasts

I have recently purchased a new ipod, 80gb, and I love it. I have upgraded from the 60gb. Only problem is that on some podcasts, not all, when I go into the podcast the ipod shuts down and I am unable to play the podcast. After a few seconds the apple comes on the screen. You can tell that something is going on with the ipod and a few seconds later the menu comes back up. This is really annoying. I have tried to remedy this by unsubscribing, deleting the podcast and subscribing again. Didn't work. Can anyone help me with this?

Is this what you refer to?

IPod Nano shuts down randomly and doesn't restart unless connected

This happened to me two days ago. I was working on a pool listening to a podcast, with the iPod in my pocket. I was wearing black pants and it was very hot, so I'm not sure if it's simply an issue of overheating, but what happened was while I was listening to the podcast the iPod completely shut down. I took it out of my pocket and tried to reset it holding the menu and center buttons, but the iPod wouldn't respond to this. The iPod was completely charged the night before so I'm sure this isn't an issue. I took it home and hooked it up to my computer and it worked fine. But today, it did the same thing, listening to the same podcast (TalkRadar) and wouldn't respond to the menu and center buttons again, but it responded to plugging it in to the computer. Something else happened, too, the iPod would turn on and off randomly even while connected to the computer and I would have to unplug the iPod and re-plug it back in. Does anybody have an idea of what the problem is? I want to know whether or not I should send it in for repair.

If resetting or restoring the ipod does not work, take it to an Apple Store. Let the staff examine it. If you have Apple Care, call them.

Itunes shuts down when trying to move songs onto Ipod

For the last three weeks, I have been able to open i tunes, play music from i tunes, but when i plug my i pod in to transfer new stuff (from cds and i store) i tunes gives me a message syaing that it has encountered a problem and needs to shut down.
i have tried everything to get around this, but it bascially wont let me put more songs on to my i pod and forces me to close the window.
Help please!!!

now my ipod does work on my other comptuter without any problems.
5. Version of iTunes before you upgraded to 6.0.2
VERSION 5.014 --
6. Version of Fairplay on the songs you've purchased. (If you look at the general tab in the Get Info dialog, it tells you version of Fairplay.)
2
7. Automatic vs. manual sync. For songs / podcasts / video, which in 6.0.2 all have separate manual vs. automatic settings.
i only use this for music, so i have no way of knowing how these are set up.
8. Is there some sort of weird mis-identification of the iPod in previous versions of iTunes, like the Video sub-tab missing in the iPod preferences tab of iTunes preferences for Video iPods?
i have no idea what you are talking about.
9. Version of the iPodService you have running? (Go to C:\Program Files\iPod\bin, find the iPodService.exe file, right click, select Properties and you should be able to get a version number.)
6.0.2.23
10. Number of store accounts you have authorized on that machine?
1
11. Is the iPod Updater running in the background when you try to mount the iPod and iTunes crashes?
no
12. Has either of you tried connected one of these iPods to a Mac to see if it crashes on iTunes for Mac? Or does that heal the problem and then you can subsequently plug it into their Windows machine without problem. (This would tell me if it's a Windows only bug or if it's in both versions of iTunes.) The Genuis bar at an Apple retail store could help with this step. But I realize that this is the step with the highest level of inconvenience.
dont have a mac to connect to but it does connect just fine to my old computer which is using itunes 5 and ipod 5.0.1.4

PC shuts down when 80GB ipod classic is connected

I just got a new 80GB ipod classic yesterday and when i hook it up to my pc via the usb cable my i get a message that says that an apple ipod driver is detected and then my computer powers down and restarts. It's done this several times now, it consistently shuts down about 15 seconds after i plug it in. When the computer restarts it says that it experienced a "stop error" and offers no solutions for the problem. PLEASE HELP!!

Had the same problem. Someone sent me these instructions and it worked, have a look:
*Maybe you should uninstall your USB 2.0 port and restart Windows. Windows will see the USB as a new hardware device and load the correct drivers for it. You can uninstall it in Control Panel, System Properties, Hardware tab, Device Manager. There's also an "Apple iPod USB Driver" located in here, maybe that will work.*
*Side note, I also own an 80GB classic, it's hooked up to a regular USB 1.1 port and it really isn't too slow, it did take 20 or 30 mins to transfer the 3200+ songs but I didn't mind. Podcasts transfer pretty fast for me.*

ITunes shuts down when updating iPod

My iTunes runs fine until my iPod is connected. It starts to update the iPod as usual but after a little an error message pops up saying "iTunes has encountered an error and is forced to shut down."
The "error signature" says:
AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 7.0.0.70 ModName: quicktime.qts
ModVer: 7.1.3.100 Offset: 0013d270
I tried restoring my iPod to no avail. I also tried reinstalling iTunes and nothing.
Any ideas? I'm struggling here.

Hey. I ended up redownloading iTunes 6 and it works now. I never actually solved this problem. I was downloading Podcasts though so that may have been the problem..who knows.
For anyone who may stumble upon this thread and wants to download iTunes 6 -- it wasn't super easy but at the same time not super difficult to find a copy of iTunes 6. Some internet sluething should be able to track it down easily.
When you get iTunes 6 you'll have to delete your current iTunes 7 library otherwise iTunes won't run. Just search your computer for iTunes library.

Ipod nano shuts down windows as soon as is connected

I have just purchased an ipod nano 4th generation, downloaded itunes software with no problem, the nano is fully charged, this has been done on a different computer, my problem is that soon as I connect the ipod via the usb cable the pc shuts down and then tries to restart itself (no blue screen)it will not restart though whilst the ipod is connected, i have read that i should update usb drivers but am not able to see which one the ipod connects to as the shut down is fairly instant, has anyone else had this problem and how could it be resolved, need big help please

I've experienced the same problem since 21st November and attended the Ipod Genius Bar at Oxford Street and still no resolution. Today i have both my childrens Nano 4th Generation working/syncing etc.
The Nano identifies an apple ipod driver when connected to the computer for the first time when online. Itunes refuses to accepts this and shuts down, similar to your problem.
Without being online or opening itunes i opened computer management then device manager and disable the apple driver.
I then opened the assigned a USB Mass Storage Device driver to the Nano. I then opened the Nano in windows and found several files including calender etc on the disk. I deleted all the contents and disconnected it from the computer through the eject device feature.
I then opened Itunes and connected the Nano and it recognised it and required it to be fully restored which i did.
I have since connected it to Itunes Store etc and no problems.
By the way i have removed both Itunes & Quicktime no less than eleven times and reassigned drive letters to the Nano as well as re-create my itunes library on a seperate disk drive but the problem stems from the device drives and the programs/files already on the Nano.
I hope this helps.

I tried downloading the iOS8 to my iPod 5th generation and when it finished downloading it shut down completely and it said there was an error and no the iPod is in recovery mode. What can I do to restore it and update it? Please, I need help.

Hello,
I recently tried downloading the IOS8 to my iPod 5th generation and when it was almost done the computer said there was an error. Right after that, the iPod shut down completely and now it's on recovery mode. I plugged it in and it said that I had to restore it and update it so I could use it again but it doesn't let me. What can I do? I even did a backup before the update.
I really need help.

What happens when you connect to computer and restore via iTunes?
Without knowing that:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

When i take photos or videos on my ipod touch with the camera, then i plug it into the computer to sync, the computer shuts down and this blue screen comes up saying "an error has occured" and a heap of other stuff.

When i take a photo or a video using the camera on my ipod touch, the computer (windows xp) shuts down and a blue screen comes up saying "an error has occured" and a heap of oth stuff in white. It doesn't wipe the memory or anything off the ipod. Whenever i sync my ipod without photos or videos it works fine. It also doesn't mind me taking photos off itunes to put on the ipod. I have had a look around and a couple of people say reinstall itunes, but i don't know if i will lose all my songs and apps. Any suggestions of help?

Removing all Apple related software and reinstalling iTunes should bring all needed drivers back: Removing iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Also check for new driver updates for Windows, especially if you have a webcam installed.
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.

Ipod Shuts Down on it's own upon selection of a song.

For some reason, My ipod (30 gb 5th gen) which I just bought a couple weeks ago keeps shutting down when I select a song to play. It loads the song, Gets ready to play it, but then vibrates, shuts itself off and displays the Apple logo. I thought this was a fluke or it was because I hadn't updated my Itunes program on my PC. Both of these do not check out, and it continues to shut off automatically when I select a certain song. Note: This is not every song, nor a specific album. I tried to skip it and move on, and it played one song, then had another song with the same error. I moved on to the next, and had a string of at least ten where the error did not occur, so I didn't know what to think so I got on here. I hope there are some nuts out there with nothing better to do than answer this question, because I hate mysteries and waiting, and this is doing both. It says feel free to call customer support all over this dang site, but never once offers the **** number.

I think I got it. I searched shut down on here and someone somewhere said to shut off EQ. That seems to have done the trick. If you know the reason behind this, I would be glad to hear it. It sure had me baffled this afternoon...
