When i plug my ipod in it freezes itunes then the whole pc. Help?

Hey yeah as the topic says everytime i plug my ipod into my pc it reads the ipod for about 10 seconds and then it freezes. Ill click around but nothing responds, and then even windows itself stops working and i have to reset the PC.
What should i do i've tried restorig my ipod but that solved nothing. It used to work perfect.
By the way i'm running Vista Ultimate X64 if that has anything to do with it.

The same thing is happening to me! I just upgraded to Vista and my ipod was working fine. All of the sudden, every time I plug it in my ipod freezes then my itunes says that my ipod is corrupted! After doing online research, it seems Vista's safely remove hardware feature corrupts the ipod! Wish someone would have let me know before I upgraded.

I've been deleting the info in the "Sort..." fields, but when I plug my iPod into my computer iTunes repopulates the fields I deleted. How do I stop it from doing that?

I've been deleting information I don't want in the "Sort..." fields (like getting rid of "Deluxe Edition" markers, etc.), but when I plug my iPod into my computer iTunes repopulates the fields I deleted. This only happens for a few artists, and it's the same artists every time this happens. How do I stop it from doing that? It makes it measurably harder for me to control the organization of my library.

Setesh, See if both computer has the same version of iTunes, if both are the same, then it is your PC, that has plug-ins which is in conflict it iTunes. ( normally it is the Antivirus or some plug-ins to beautify your screen)
If it is different, most likely the other PC has an older version of iTunes, so you should downgrade your iTunes to that older version, which your iPod interface well with.
Other probable causes,
you are using the USB 1.1 port at the front of your PC, and not the USB2,0 port at the back of your PC. so switch to the back.
Dont use any other USB devices, when you are syncing the iPod.
Dont use any USH Hub.
Have a nice day!

I think you have to remove ITunes and install the latest version's one; then it will work fine.

When i plug my iPod in, it does not recognize it...HELP

When i plug my iPod Nano 2nd Generation in to anything-AC adaptor or computer- it starts charging, then all of a sudden stops charging after about two seconds. When I plug it in to my computer, iTunes doesn't pop up like is used to. This started after i tried to use my sister's cable on it (It fit, but now it doesn't work with either). Please, if you have any suggestions, help. I've tried to reset it and everything.

Plugging iPod Touch in freezes iTunes (v8.x and v9.x)

Hi everybody!
My iTunes is showing a strange behaviour since yesterday. After approx. four to six weeks after my last sync of my iPod Touch with iTunes, I wanted to sync it again yesterday (iTunes was at version 8.x at that time). iTunes started normally, everything was fine, but when I connected my iPod to my laptop, iTunes freezed. Unplugged iPod...everything goes. Windows (XP Pro) recognises the iPod showing it in Explorer; Task Manager shows no unusual system utilisation.
Here is what I did then:
- updated iTunes via iTunes itself from v8.x to current version 9.0.2 (nothing changed)
- deinstalled iTunes and all other software components as described in the apple support site
- read through the Apple support sites
- installed latest Windows XP patches and updates
- installed and used the MS installation cleanup utility
- checked every iTunes related folder
- cleared my Temp folder
- installed iTunes again
- used different USB ports
- did some restarts, of course
And what can I say: nothing helped. Same behaviour. Plugging in, iTunes freezes, every other app is working well. Unplugging, everything is fine.
I have a suspicion. The only thing I have done since the last sync was an installation of a Pinnacle USB TV-Stick together with its related software. But before I'm going to deinstall this (and going through a complete reinstall of Win) I would like to hear other oppinions.
Comments appreciated.

Problem solved.
I hooked my iTunes library and my iPod up to my 2nd laptop (Samsung NC10 Netbook).
At first: same behaviour. But then, after a couple of seconds, my iPod synced with iTunes! On my other laptop I had waited several minutes for something to happen.
After syncing, I plugged my iPod back into my other laptop...et voilà, everything is fine. I do not now, what was wrong, but I'm glad it is working now.

My computer doesnt respond when i plug my ipod in

When i plug my Ipod into my pc nothing happens. I am unable to open ANY programs whatsoever. I am not using a high speed usb port this may be why but i am unsure. If anyone has any suggestions for me it would be greatly appreciated. When i unplug the Ipod then the programs i tried opening do open.

Welcome to Apple Discussions, flyboy212!
Sounds like a serious problem...usually when your computer freezes when you plug in your iPod, your antivirus is being a jerk. Disable your antivirus before you plug in your iPod.
Try using a high-speed USB hub as well. If you have USB 2.0 ports in the back (MAKE SURE they are 2.0) then plug your iPod in the back of the tower. That may be the case, it may not. Try these things, then repost.

Blue Screen when I plug my Ipod Touch 8GB(Late 2009)

My problem is when I plug my Ipod touch 8gb to my laptop(Acer Aspire 5632wlmi,intel core 2 duo processor T5200-1,60 GHz-533MHz L2 cache,1GBDDR 2,Up to 384MB NVIDIAGeForce GO7300 TurboCache,System: Microsoft XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3,all required updates are done),the windows system detects problem and windows shuts down to prevent damage to my computer,this error message appears in blue screen with the technical information of :
*Stop : 0x00000007E(0x0000005,0X00000000,0xF78FD7C8,0XF78FD4C4) .
When the system goes down,I have to shut pc down from the power button and when I switch my laptop on I receive an error stating that "system has recovered from a serious error " which has signature of:
BCCode : 1000007E BCP1:C000005 BCP2:00000000 BCP3:78FD7C8 BCP4:F78FD4C4 OSVer: 512600 Product:256_1
And error report content is:
C:\DOCUME~1FATIHF~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERffa3.dir00\Mini031610-02.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1FATIHF~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERffa3.dir00\sysdata.xml
What I have done regarding to try to solve the problem ,but not worked at all:
1-I have uninstalled Itunes ultimate version(iTunes 9.0.3 for Windows XP,Vista or Windows 7) and other Apple related components on my Laptop(apple application support,Apple mobile device support,Apple Software Support,Quicktime etc.)
2- a-I re-installed all components mentioned on step 1 and plugged my Ipod: It works when I plug for first time,then I sync with my audio,art-work folders.Then I unplug my Ipod to listen music and see my Art-work,when I plug my Ipod for 2nd time to my Laptop,it crashes and that same blue screen error occurs.
b- I uninstalled all Apple components and plugged my Ipod to my Laptop,it charges the battery but no blue screen occurs.
3- I reset my Ipod and meanwhile uninstall all Apple components again(exactly like in 1st step) in my laptop,then I re-install all components to my laptop, and follow the same steps as exactly in 2nd step.I plug my Ipod and it works for first time,than I do sync through Itunes again,than I unplug and use my Ipod,when I plug for 2nd time than the same blue screen error appears and laptop crashes.
4- a- I reset my Ipod and Meanwhile uninstalled all Apple components,I re-installed iTunes 8.2.1 for Windows XP,Vista or Windows 7) but the same blue screen occurs.
b- I uninstall iTunes and plugged my Ipod to my laptop,no blue screen occurs.
5- I asked my colleague who has MacBook and plug my Ipod to her MacBook, than open Itunes,but Itunes(iTunes 9.0.3 for Mac OS x) can not see my Ipod as device and I am not able to do anything.
6- I've searched in Apple official websites and Google and many Blogger sites,Fan sites and all other possible technical sites but could not find any solution.
7- I've contacted(phone call) to the Local(Portugal) Support Apple Support Centre and explained all history of the problem clearly.But they could not help me,they advised the same possible solutions which I've already done and they said that they can not do more.And than they gave me a support mail address to contact.([email protected])
8- I've sent an email to [email protected], 2 days later they've answered me with the information that they are phone based support therefore they not provide me support.
Basically I am not able to import or export anything to/from my ipod,anyway all windows is going down.
It is first time I buy Apple product.My friends who have Apple products were generally positive about them,and I was thinking to by a MacBook as well,but after this problem I got doubts and I am not satisfied and happy at all. Since days I am trying to find solutions and find the exact support contacts to get helped with this problem.But could not reach any information. Now I don't have any positive Idea about Apple products or support service.I went to the Techno-Market which I bought the Ipod to change with an Iphone or at least try to have my money back if not possible to swap it with Iphone,but they've told me that it has been more than 15 days and they can not swap it or refund it,even if it was possible they would not refund it because the very sensitive backside of Ipod has some small but visible scratches.
Anyway I can see the difficulty of having Apple product,having support of product and finding the right contacts to communicate is not easy and I would really be very happy if anyone could change this idea of mine with helping me out to use my Ipod with peace and without any other problem.
As you can see,I spent a lot of money to buy it and spent days to find solution to my problem and spent a lot of energy to find right Apple Support contacts to help me with my problem.And I am not able to use my product as I wish.
Please advise me regarding to solve my problem. I hate to deal with courts and other legal ways to take action in those kind of cases. But if not of course it will be my last option to do it so.
I am waiting an answer,please try to answer me as soon as you have an answer for me.
Thanks In advance
Best Regards
PS:If you provide me an email address which I can send all print screens and full blue screen error message .txt I'll contact you soon after receiving your contact.
