Whenever I plug my iPod in, it causes my computer to crash!

Can anyway help me? I have an 80GB Classic
Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Recently, a young lad (Tim) I know has an IPOD classic, he too has also been driven almost mad with the windows XP crashing after a few seconds with plugging into the USB port. All other USB devices and USB ports are working fine with other devices.
Here is the story for your info.
He has been advised by other PC engineers to do almost everything to his PC, reinstall USB drivers, remove software, clean out registry etc, including a fresh install of Windows XP. All very time consuming and annoying if the IPOD still crashs windows XP.
Tim sought my help with this. I was going to suggest try using a powered USB hub. My thinking here is the IPOD draws power from the USB port, and maybe the motherboard can't quite supply enough power. What made me suspect the PC was the fact that I asked Tim to try connecting the IPOD to his fathers Laptop and that was OK.
In the meantime while I was searching forums like this one, Tim asked if I could find a new Power Supply for his PC as the existing PSU fan makes quite a noise as is normal with smaller high speed fans. Here in the UK, MAPLIN electronics do replacement PSU's and I decided an uprated (480 Watt) with an ultra quite fan would be better that his existing 300W PSU. This arrived by mail and was fitted and checked PC working OK.
Having had some incredibly obscure and/or intermittent faults (many faults which seem to be software related) due to fauly PC PSU's (even if all the voltages measure OK in circuit) during my history of PC maintainance, I suggested to try connecting the IPOD to the USB port having now replaced the PSU.
The IPOD now worked with the PC, no more Windows crashes. Probelm solved by replacing the PSU.
Now of course, the PSU may not be your problem, and I would not want you to go and buy a new PSU only for you to discover this was not the cure. (£29.99 from MAPLIN electronics)
Can I suggest you try these:-
(1) Connect IPOD to another modern laptop or PC, preferbaly one that is known to work with an IPOD.
(2) Borrow a USB 2.0 hub (must be exteranlly powered) and connect IPOD to the hub.
(3) Consider buying a NEW PSU (not a recycled unit), uprated in Wattage from the one you currenly have.
Please don't blame me for any lost expenses if a NEW PSU does not solve the IPOD crashing the PC for you. I only wrote this to give my recent personal experience on this fault which was solved.
David.

I downloaded itunes 8.1 yesterday when apple told me to, but now whenever I plug my ipod (4th gen. nano) in itunes crashes with the vista message 'itunes has stopped working' and it forces me to close the program.
How can I fix this?

Hi Brennahunt,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes for Windows, try these troubleshooting steps first:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
If the steps in the article above do not solve the issue, completely remove and reinstall iTunes using the method in this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
This process should not affect any music or content on your computer, but you may want to
back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
When reinstalling iTunes (step 3 in the article above), be sure that you are logged in to your computer as an Administrator:
Make sure you have an administrator account.
To install iTunes or QuickTime, you need to log in as an administrator on the computer. If you're not sure you have an administrator account, you may find this Microsoft article helpful: Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator?You can refer to the Help documentation from Microsoft, contact your IT department, or visitsupport.microsoft.com for more information.

My iPods are Causing My Computer to Crash!

Lately all of my iPods are starting to cause my computer to crash when I plug them in. It doesn't do it every time. But when it starts, I can't fix it. I have restarted my computer, reset all of my iPods, and tried different USB ports and the problem still persists. Right after I plug the iPods in, a blue screen flashes for a second and then the computer restarts. Any ideas on how to fix this problem. It is frustrating! Help

if you have an HP printer try disconnecting it

When I plug my IPOD touch into my dell computer all it shows are my picture. I am afraid if I update the software on the IPOD it will erase all my music.

When I plug my IPOD touch into my Dell computer it comes up with Judy's IPOD, the click on where it says internal storeage then a folder comes up that says DCIM then click on that and another folder comes up 800AAAAA and when you click on that all you see if pictures. I am afraid to update the software on the IPOD I am afraid it will erase all my songs. Does anyone have any idea what the problem or can I update the software without fear of losing all my songs.

You have to follow these instructions. When they say restore from backup your iPod will also be updated.

Yosemite causing my computer to crash randomly

I've had Yosemite for around 2 weeks now. At first I wasn't experiencing any problems with the new operating system. Problems first arose when I had a few USB devices attached to my computer. Then about a week ago my computer (Macbook Pro Retina 15") screen randomly went black however I noticed it was still outputting power to my USB devices. I tried waking it from what I assumed to be sleep but it wouldn't wake up. I tried to restart but it wouldn't let me until I closed the screen and lifted it back up again. Over the past week I've been using third party applications such as Audacity and Vectorworks and it seemed like using these applications would cause the computer to crash. Two day's ago I experienced one of these crashes and when starting it back up again the computer would crash on the initial loading screen (Apple logo and loading bar screen). After spending 30 minutes trying to get my computer up and running again for a meeting I simply gave up. Yesterday however I was watching a movie on iTunes and my computer again went dark on me leading me to wonder if it has nothing to do with the applications I'm using but that something is causing my computer to crash after a few minutes of use (15-20 minutes). Anyone have any solutions?
Whenever I restart my computer my computer recognizes that there was a problem because it displays the window "Your computer was shut down due to a problem would you like to reopen applications" (Paraphrasing). And occasionally I'll get a prompt asking if I want to send a diagnostic report to apple which I've been doing.

Firefox is either constantly crashing or it won't start after it caused my computer to crash

Firefox has caused my computer to crash and after starting back up when I tried to open Firefox it just gave me multiple crash reports then it wouldn't even give me that after awhile.

Hi dwennon,
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately it is hard to give support steps without an crash reports. However since Firefox is not starting I would recommend trying to start it in Safe Mode:
*[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
You can also try to start Firefox with a new profile from the cmd.exe:
# Open a cmd.exe or put cmd.exe in the Start menu
# Paste this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p
#Hit enter and when you see the manager pop up, click create new profile. Enter the name and open Firefox
If then it continues to crash please submit the crash report ids: Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!
You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.
Looking forward to hearing from you :-)

IPod touch 4G causes home router/network crash

Hi. I have an iPod touch 4G, version 4.3.4 (8K2). Everything was working fine.
-One morning I wake up and my home internet connection is down (LAN/WLAN), I cannot even access my router web interface. I restart (power down and up) my modem/wifi router (2-in-1) and everything works again for a while before going down again. This keeps happening - sometimes lasts 20mins, sometimes a few hours. I call ISP tech support (check the line, factory reset router), read router forums etc. etc. Nothing solves it.
-In the mean time, my 4G has a lot of trouble connecting to the home network. Takes a long time to get DHCP and has the wrong (auto) DNS assigned, just doesn't "instant connect" like it used to. Even when I assign a static IP and manually enter DNS, Router etc. it has a very hard time. I have tried "Forgetting Network", resetting Network Setting on iPod, restarting the iPod and rediscovering the network doesn't help.
-Every other iOS (iPad, MacBook Air) and Windows or Android wifi device connects to the home network fine.
-Because of this I unconciously leave my iPod switched off - network starts to behave. One morning, I switch my iPod back on and try to connect - instantly my home network goes down. All the other wifi enabled devices simultaneously drop connections and the wifi SSID is gone. I cannot connect to router web interface (via LAN) until I restart the router.
-So I seem to have isolated it to the iPod and investigate more. I see that when I try to connect with the iPod, the DHCP takes forever and when it is "trying" to get assigned, the network is not accessible to any device. Most of the time the network crashes as usual. A couple of times, after a while the network comes back up and the iPod connects but then sure enough it crashes again soon.
I have tried everything short of resetting the entire iPod and buying a new router. Has anyone else had this problem? The only reference I have found in these support forums is here and there doesn't seem to be much noise on the topic and it's now quite old.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/10853567#10853567
Any help appreciated.

Yes. I tried this the first day when I thought it was a line problem and contacted my ISP. They suggested I try this and we went over it on the phone. The internet did come back on and I naiively thought it was fixed but after a while it went down again. At that time I did not know that it was my ipod that was causing the problem. That was only after looking back on the whole thing that I realized that.
Actually whilst googling the problem I found a youtube video of the exact same thing happening to someone but there were no solutions or comments on why this is happening.

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows

My computer that has iTunes on it crashed and I plugged my iPod Touch into it after it had crashed. Now it says it needs to be connected to iTunes.

After my computer with iTunes on crashed I plugged my iPod Touch into the computer. It then said that it needs to be connected to iTunes but i can't connect it as the computer deleted iTunes and doesn't work. Please help.

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

I plugged my iPod into my friend's computer to charge and it synced a bunch of photos. I got rid of the but it doesn't show that any space was freed up. Any help?

I plugged my iPod in at my friends to charge and it synced about 1/2 of a gigabyte of photos to my library. I deleted the photos but it still shows that I have tons of storage taken up by photos. I have an 8 gb iPod and storage was an issue as it is. Any help?????

I've tried all those things it says to do, and nothing works.

Every time I plug my Ipod touch 4g in my computer to itunes, it deletes all of my apps on my ipod. How can I stop this? x

Hey Guys,
I got an Ipod touch 4g for Christmas and am having a few problems. Firstly, everytime I plug my ipod into my laptop onto itunes to put music onto it, all of my apps on my ipod get deleted and I can't go on them. Have you got any tips?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks xxx

It appears that you previous synced the iPod with another iTunes library/computer. You can only sync with one iTunes library. If yuy try to sync with another library the iPOd will be erased and its contents replaced with the contents in the iTunes library of the computer.

Whenever I plug my iPod in, it causes my computer to crash!
