Shuts down when connected to itunes

I was given an iPod and I think there's something fishy about it. First of all, it looks like an iPod Classic. It says 80GB on the back metal casing (the front is white), but in the setting it says it has 159GB available, but the capacity id s 903MB. When I connect it to iTunes, it says "DO NOT DISCONNECT" and shows up that it's connected for about 1-2 seconds, then the whole iPod shuts down and restarts itself. Is there anything I can do to fix this or is this a worthless piece of junk at this point?

Hi Residae,
I understand you are having issues when connecting your iPod to iTunes. Lets see if the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant resolves this:
iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
Reset
To reset your iPod:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip:
If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
If the above does not help, please try the remaining 4 steps.
Thanks,
Matt M.

IPod shuts down when connected to iTunes

My fully charged iPod shuts down within 1 minute of connecting to iTunes. iTunes recognizes/reads the iPod until the iPod shuts down. I considered the battery but the iPod will play about 6 hours on a charge. This happened with the old iTunes software and also after I installed the new 7.0.2 yesterday.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Is the software on the iPod up to date too?
Have you tried connecting via a different USB port?
Also, try resetting the iPod while it is connected to the computer...

MBP shuts down when connecting to power

Since a week or two, my MacBookPro from early 2011 shuts down when connecting the magsafe to power. Also when starting up again it will start up fine and fast from battery, but I need to hold the power button for several seconds when connected to power.
Another problem I had earlier as well is CPU (kernel task) of over 90%, which I now see clearly, only occurs when connected to power. I used to solve this problem by putting the MBP to sleep, but now, when put to sleep, it will shut down.
When on battery, I have no CPU problem and can put machine to sleep without a problem.
I recently started uploading everything to dropbox, and activate caffeine to make sure it will keep uploading. My computer will run for days on power combined with caffeine, but is as slow as **** because of a >90% CPU.
The battery has had a notification for maybe a year, that it needed service, so today I finally bought and installed a new battery, but the problem is not solved. Is this software or could it be my magsafe adapter? Thanks for you help.

It sounds like a problem with the power management inside your MBP. I suggest you call Apple to make an appointment at your local Apple store for them to check it out for you.

Computer shuts down when I open itunes Store

Computer shuts down when I open itunes Store. I don't know why or how to fix it.. It used to work, now it doesn't. I haven't done anything differently. I tried to 'repair' it in the add/delete programs.

Some more info.................I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime. No fix. I can access the store on my other desktop computer which I also updtated to the newest version, so I think it's some setting in my laptop. As I said, it works great until I click on "iTunes Store" then it shuts the whole program down.

X200 hangs during restart or shut down when connected to ultrabase

My X200 hangs during a Windows restart or shut down when I'm connected to my ultrabase. The laptop appears to go through most of the processes to restart/shut down but eventually hangs at a blue screen with unmoveable cursor (note, not a Windows BSOD). I'm forced to perform a hard shut down to turn off the laptop.
This hang at restart/shut down only occurs when I'm connected to the ultrabase.

Just as a thing to try, and this is assuming that you all have an integrated camera, please try this camera driver and let the board know the results:

Itunes shuts down when connecting Ipod HELP

Recently when I connect my Ipod to my Itunes a windows error message appears and shuts down itunes for me. The message reads that Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down. I am unable to transfer any music, play songs off my ipod, or delete songs off my ipod. I have reinstalled Itunes several times. All of my songs are stored on my IPOD only so reseting would erase all of them. PLEASE HELP!!!

Yes this used to happen to me also. Heres how to fix it. If this event just started happening after you have downloaded new music, I know how to fix it. Sort your iTunes by DATE ADDED. Then start clicking on the songs or videos, etc. in order from top down. When you click on a certain one(s) and iTunes shuts down, this is what you do:
1. Find the file(s) on your computer by doing a computer search from the start menu.
2. When you locate the file(s), click on it or them and send them into your recycle bin or trash for mac users.
3. Then open iTunes.
4. Locate the file(s).
5. They should have a little ! next to them.
6. When you click on them, iTunes won't shut down.
7. Just right click on the file(s) and delete them again, this time from iTunes.
8. Reset your iPod.
9. Connect it.
10. Your problem is solved!

ITunes will shut down when cennect to iTunes store

Last week when I was connecting to the iTunes store, itunes shut down and windows told me I need to update my iTunes.
But my itunes is the latest version.
I can download apps form my iphone or ipad through my Internet server.
And the I clear DNS catch, the problem remain.
Then I check the setting of fire wall, the problem remain.
I try almost all the methods on apple support, even upgrade my graphics card driver.
Finally I delete all apple software, including quick time, itunes, bonjure...etc.
Fortunately, when setup itunes again, the problem reamin.
I can't solve this problem.
Any other methods can solve this problem?

Hi Andy ..
You've done your homework!
Have you tried disabling your security software?

Cannot sleep or shut down when connected to TV through DVI

I recently reinvigorated my 2003 Power Mac G5 (Power PC) with a clean install of OSX Leopard and connected it to my TV via a VGA cable and DVI adapter. I soon discovered the computer would not sleep or shut down with the TV connected:
- Selecting "sleep" from apple menu, OR
- Pressing sleep button on original ADC monitor (with both monitors connected,) OR
- Waiting for 15 minute automatic sleep mode:
computer sleeps (tower clicks off as normal) but immediately wakes again
- Selecting "shut down" from apple menu:
computer shuts down completely but immediately reboots
When the G5 runs on only the original monitor, sleep and shutdown commands work as expected.
Aside from unplugging the DVI adapter every time I want to sleep or shut down, is there a solution to this problem?

I've seen the TV problem before, not sure there is a cure, but perhaps one of these...

2011 MBP shuts down when connected to external display

I've been using my 2011 15" MBP for about a week now with no problem until today when I tried to connect it to my old 20" cinema display. I have the mini display port hooked up to the dvi adapter and a usb connection hooked up to external keyboard and mouse. Everything works just fine if I keep the lid up on the MBP, but if I shut the lid, the MBP shuts down. Down, not that the big screen goes black & then comes on again. It turns itself off.
Any way I can avoid a trip to the Apple store? In the past, the "geniuses" knew less about external displays than I did. Is there an issue because of the dual graphics cards?

no - I realized later that the machine doesn't shut off it just acts like it. The hard drive stops spinning & the screen remains black no matter what I do. This doesn't happen when I just shut the lid & then go back to working on it.
Then if I shut it again & try to get the monitor to respond, I get a blue screen of death color with a two inch band of blue noise along the left side. Very weird.
