Touch persistently crashing - problems with USB/iTunes/Windows 7?

Hi!
I received a 64gb Touch for Christmas and have a persistent crashing problem. The Touch appears to be randomly crashing across any app or even just playing music - there seems to be no common link. This could be once in a few hours or repeatedly 4/5 times in succession.
It's possible I have a faulty unit but wonder also if I may have an issue with updating/syncing as any sync that takes a reasonable amount of time disconnects and reconnects several times. I had this on my 1st gen Shuffle also - it's almost as though something is disconnecting the USB port and then reconnecting it. I'll mention at this point that I have no other USB related issues - I can run a backup of several hours to a USB harddisk and have no issues and no other USB device has had any sort of problem. If there is a USB issue, it's only happening with iTunes and my iPod(s).
My theory then is that the initial upgrade of the Touch to 3.1.2 on first sync is being corrupted in some way because of the disconnecting issue and that then is causing the crashing as the os is unstable. The Touch has been reinstalled 3 times since purchase and each time having the disconnection issue appear and the resulting persistent crashing.
Hopefully someone can tell me I'm wrong/right in my theory and maybe suggest a way I can fix the disconnection problem so I can at least try a clean reinstall of the Touch and see if that solves the crashing problem before I send the unit back.
Cheers!

I bought my iPod Touch 32gb last week and as soon as I plugged it in iTunes told me to update to v3.1.2 (came with v3.1.1 installed.) I accepted to install v3.1.2 and it finished installing then restarted. It flashed up in iTunes then disconnected and the ipod went blank, then came up with the apple log for about 1 or 2 minutes, then flashed up again in itunes. It then kept restarting and dissapearing. I left it doing this for about 15 minutes then unplugged the usb lead. It then restarted and all seemed fine.
I had put a couple of albums on. Then I sorted out some more music and done another sync & the **** thing got stuck in the restart loop again.
This was on my laptop which has Windows vista.
I then thought maybe the update to v3.1.2 had gone wrong so i reinstalled it on my main pc. It didn't get stuck in the restarting loop so I thought I had solved the problem. I put my music on my main pc (Windows 7) and done a resync and the blasted thing got stuck in restart loop again.
My son bought his 8GB touch this week and his came with v3.1.2 allready installed and he hasn't had a single problem with it. I hadn't downloaded any apps for mine but he has loads of them and it hasn't crashed once.
I am taking mine back to the shop tomorrow as i have had it less than 10 days.
Am not sure what it is but it is very annoying. I hope the replacement i get works properly.

    I read in the forums that it's a problem with my grafic card driver and that I should update it. I just did, but the problem is still there. I use Adobe Master Collection CS4 a long time ago (under Windows XP plataform). Last week I upgraded to Windows 7 and issues began. Does anybody know what I should do? Thank you very much!

    I did that too Chris but when I uncheck OpenGL drawing my video card is not shown and the crash dialog appears anyway. It's really dissapointing... Thanks for you help, I'll try to contact NVidia technical support.

  • Is there a problem with the Itunes Windows Installer Programme?

    The reason I ask is because I had a perfectly working Itunes programme on my external hard drive, from which I then deleted all the double ups of songs I had and then could not gain auto. updates of the dsongs I wished to add to itunes.
    It said to reinstall Itunes, which I tried to do and since this time the installation stops when installing the registry components and the following message appears -
    There is a problem with the Windows Installer Package. A programme required for this to install could not be run. Comntact your support personall or package provider.
    Can anyone help please?
    Thank you in advance for any help forwarded
    MrG
    P.S. - Not that well versed in computer speak, so laymans terms welcomed.

    This message often relates to a problem with Apple software update.
    Go to Add remove programs and find Apple Software update. Try repairing it.
    Select Change>>repair.
    That probably will not work
    Then try uninstalling any instance you find of Apple Software update. That probably will not work either.
    Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
    Remove any instance you find of Apple software update with the cleanup utility.
    Download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer and save it on your desktop.

    Restart your computer and try installing iTunes.

  • Problems with USB on Windows Vista - Satelltie A210 (PSAFGE)

    Hi!
    I just bought myself a new notebook - Toshiba A210 - 15Y (PSAFGE) with Windows Vista preinstalled. The problem is that the notebook doesn't want to work with any USB devices. Whether I try to use a simple USB stick, a mp3 player - he always asks for drivers. The first time I connected my mobile phone via USB it all worked.
    When I tried it for the 2nd, 3rd etc. time it doesn't work. He always asks for drivers. Ok, so I installed the drivers for the phone - but the problem wasn't solved by this.
    The Card-Reader is another problem - when I tried to use a SD-Card, he again asked for drivers.
    Does anybody have an idea how to solve this problem?

    Hi,
    I'd advise you to reinstall Vista using the recovery cd that came with the laptop. Also, check in the device manager whether all the devices are installed correctly.
    Come back if the problem persists, we'll think of something else.

    I have a problem with the iTunes Store, I have an ipod and an iphone 2. I have a PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 2007, entering into iTunes Store on the main screen I get only AppStore, Podcast and iTunes U. In my screen I get only ipad2 Podcast, iTunes U Downloads. My problem is I can not access any application to download music, videos, books, etc..
    ITunes will be installed wrong or what should I do to activate these options?

    Go to the front page of the Store, and click Change Country.  Make sure it is set to the country where you actually are. 
    Then you will be able to see everything that is for sale in your country, which, depending where you live, might or might not include music.

    had a problem with my itunes so i had went on itunes website and reinstall itunes for windows and after it complete it said that the feature yoy are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable i need help please!!!!!!!!!

    first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
    next, download and install the revo uninstaller http://http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
           next download itunes. it worked for me hope this is helpful!!
        oonce you get into the revo uninstallergo thru to delete itunes hit uninstall on the itunes icon then you will go thru to it will tell u the same nmessage about the feature and network hit cancell then go thru and hit scan (make sure bthe advance scan button is pushed) this will take awhile but go thru the list and hit everything associated with itunes. hit delete then install itunes again. it worked for me hope it works for you!

  • I am having problems with installing Itunes 10.5 .With the windows installer

    I am having problems with installing Itunes 10.5.It's the first time i dowload it,but every time het gives me an error message that a programm that was needed for installing didn't run.
    What can i do???

    When I attempt the download for Itunes 10.6, I get an immediate response of ""Files shared by these updates" has an invalid signature. The download has been removed."
    That's suggesting that the AppleApplicationSupport.msi is getting damaged during the download via Apple Software Update for Windows.
    Are you able to get the 10.6  update to go through if you use an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file from the Apple Website?

  • Is there a problem with the itunes and quick time download pages or is it my internet.

    Is there a problem with the itunes and quicktime download pages or is it just my internet.

    Some more developments ... the issue appears to be browser-specific. I can't see the download controls at the moment in either IE 8 (I'll get your message) or Safari for Windows 5.0.5 (I'll just get the blank box). But I can see the download controls in Firefox 4 and Chrome (whatever version I have of that).
    So it might be worth installing Firefox and seeing if you can get the downloads via that:

  • Problem with installing iTunes

    So these are my problems with installing iTunes.
    At first it was :
    A required iTunes component is not installed.Please repair or reinstall iTunes (-45019)
    Then it got worse as it would not even open and these would appear:
    The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
    and this would appear:
    iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes.
    Error 7 (Windows error 126)
    I reinstalled maybe about 5 times or more...
    If I thought I solved the above problem, this would appear:
    iTunesHelper.exe is not installed on my computer.
    I seen other people comment that you should unistall and restart the computer and install the setup again, but it does not work..
    And others would say to repair the AAS or iTunes etc..
    And after trying all these it does not work???
    What else works?

    I also tried repairing the Microsoft NET.

  • K7N2 deltas mainboards have a problem with usb devices ??

    Ok here is my problem..
    I had installed WinXP Pro with SP1..
    I got a 20 GB USB2.0 disk.i connected it on the both front or rear usb ports.
    When i tried to transfer files to my usb disk or to my PC, in the middle of the copying, i got "Write Delay Failed" error and lost my usb connection..
    I had to plug it out and in again..
    Now, i have an DSL modem..Last night, i was disconnected from internet and my modem's lights gone..I plug it again, no lights..restarted my PC, also completely shutdown Windows XP..Again no lights..
    Then, formatted PC and installed windows 2000 Pr and SP4, until now, my modem worked fine..But USB 2.0 ports are still no use for my usb disk...
    In bios , it's enabled as USB 1.1+2.0..
    I think this K7N2 deltas have a problem with usb 2.0 devices and Win XP Pro..
    Some guys talking about, removing 9th wire earth, but couldn't understand which wire from where ? From mainboard or from usd device's cable ?
    Those cables are fabricated, i think it's impossible ?
    My processor is Athlon 2500+, ram Twinmos 512 DDR 400
    Thanks for reply

    I'm also having this problem. It's happening with my USB flash disk. I was almost buying another one when I tried it with Windows Vista on the same machine and it worked ok, then I tried Arch Linux (with kernel 2.6.30.5) on another machine and got the same error. After that I tried Ubuntu and it worked ok. Seems that Arch's kernel doesn't like my USB flash disk.

  • Windows 8.1 Problem with games from windows store.

    I've got a problem with games from windows store. The installation is going well without any problems, however when I try to open it it's loading and then it turns off. The same problem happens when I try to use Games for Windows. I've use a sfc scan and
    it shows some errors but unfortunately it cannot fix them. Should I share the CBS log or find the solution somewhere else? I hope you help, best regards.

    Hi,
    According to my experience, the problem like store game app open failed probably caused by hardware driver. such as Audio and Graphic driver. So, first of all, please try to reinstall these two driver to fix this problem for test.
    In addition, for SFC scan failed problem, it can be caused by many reasons, I would suggest you use another command to fix your system for test.
    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
    Also you can test SFC command in Windows 8.1 safe mode.
    Thirdly, if problem persists, please check Event Viewer, generally speaking, it would record the app open failed events.

    Im able to download the setup but it keeps on giving this message: there is a problem with this windows installer package. a program required for this  install this to complete could not be run
    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?
