Why does my keboard freeze when I plug in my ipod shuffle?

Hi for some reason my ipod shuffle which has worked really well up to now (and still works) freezes up my keyboard as soon as I put it in the usb. I have tried all variations of usbs all work fine except with the combination of ipod shuffle and keyboard - a mystery. Have checked the shuffle with other apple computers and it is fine. Also keyboard works great when ipod shuffle removed  can anyone help?

Brian, another way of looking at this is: how many devices do you have connected to the USB port (the same one)? I've found through using external storage devices that one port can handle two devices. I had four going at once one time, but the same thing happened, only two would evenually connect.
There's a limit to connections per USB port, I'm just trying to see if you have too many connectins on one port. If so, obviously, if you have other USB ports available, plug the nano into it's own port and see if that "cures" the missing nano.

  • Why does my itunes freeze when syncing music to my ipod?

    Hello,
    i've recently updated my itunes. After plugging in my iPod classic to my itunes to put some new music on there, it begins syncing then stops on a certain song. I have set my iPod back to default settings and then began putting all of my music back on once more and again, the sync has frozen at song 600.
    Can anyone help?
    thank you,
    sSarah

  • Why is my itunes freezing when i plug in my ipod

    I have one of the newer ipod touches and when I tried to put the newest update on it, everything went wrong. The newest update is on it, however, everytime I plug it into my computer itunes freezes. Ive tried everything that apple has told me to do.

    Try the following (these are separate suggestions):
    Restart the computer.
    Reset the iPod using the two button combo.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    If those actions do not help, try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
    then connecting to computer. If iTunes can now access the iPod without freezing, you should use Restore to erase the iPod and initialize the iPod's software. Then you can set it up and re-sync your songs.

  • Why does my computer crash when I plug in my ipod touch?

    My computer crashes as soon as I plug in my USB cable into the computer.

    More information:
    The last event before it shuts down:
    The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000050 (0xb5a9f897, 0x0000000, 0xf89788e4, 0x00000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini08009-09.dmp.
    Can I stop this "bugcheck" from happening again?

  • When I plug in my ipod shuffle(early model) the songs do not appear on play list. Play list shown is wrong.Any ideas?

    When I plug in my ipod shuffle { early model } the play list that appears does not show what is actually on my ipod. Some I had deleted  before and some songs that I have never had on my ipod. appear on the list  I do not knw via the computer what is actually on my ipod. Any suggestions. Why cany itunes leave things alone. If it aint broke dont mend it. This has only happened since I down loaded the latest itunes.

    Make sure that your music is in the format supported by the iPhone. I use either MP3 or AAC.
    A friend had the same problem a while back. All his music was in the WMA format and is therefore not playable on the iPhone and would not copy. Once he converted his songs to MP3 they copied to his iPhone without problem.

    I have been using my shuffle with this computer for about 5 years now and haven't had a problem until today. Now when I plug in the shuffle using USB port itunes shuts down. It doesn't have this problem with our ipod touch. I tried a different cable but that didn't fix it.

  • My Itunes freezes when I plug in my ipod and wont verify or sync

    My Itunes freezes every time I try to plug in my ipod classic. It wont verify my ipod so it can't sync or update it. I have to shut down and restart my computer to get it to function at all. I have had my ipod for awhile and have had no problems with it and my Iphone connects and syncs just fine. My Itunes is up dated with the latest version and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. I have reset my ipod multiple times. I can't even restore my ipod because it freezes so fast I cant get the restore started. Someone PLEASE HELP!!

  • Itunes freezes when I plug in my Ipod Touch - what should I do?

    I know that this has been asked numerous times, but I haven't found a solution yet. The basics:
    It was working fine yesterday, but when i plug in my ipod, itunes won't recognize it and it will freeze until I remove the ipod.
    My 3rd gen ipod touch, when I try to access my music and videos (my photos are still there), just goes to a white screen.
    After going to settings and about in my ipod, next to music and videos, it just says loading and won't do anything else.
    I've reinstalled itunes and it has the latest update.
    I've restarted my ipod many times.
    I don't know what else to do. Everything else runs fine, the apps and internet connectivity is all great. Can someone please help me? This has been an absolutely terrible month and my ipod crashing is the icing on the cake from ****.

  • Why does my computer freeze when updateing if i have enough disk space and no disk repairs are needed?

    I have problems updating my softwarebecause my computer freezes when it restarts to install. I have enough disk space and I checked for disk repairs and everthing is ok. Still can't update and not my cumputer is taking longer to turn on. There is an earth blinking then i get the apple logo blinking before it turns on and this takes close to 5 minutes.

    When you say, "disk repairs" are you referiring to permissions or verifying the disk because clearly there's a problem.
    Boot from your install disc, run Disk Utilty to "verify" and if necessary repair the startup disk. (Not Verify Disk Permissions).

  • Why does my computer freeze when it is trying to update the software?

    My computer is currently Mac OS X 10.5.4 and it is trying to update to 10.5.8 but every time i try to update it just freeze when it shuts down to restart and install.

    How much free space on the startup disk?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    When you have problems updating software, that's a good time to check the startup disk. Launch Disk Utility  /Applications/Utiliites
