Windows Freezes When New Ipod 60gb plugged in

When I plug in my video ipod, my windows xp will slow down. I can click things in the desktop and nothing will happen. Sometimes I cant click the start menu. It shows that the "new hardware" is plugged in. If I unplug it, all the things i clicked on open and windows runs fine. If I leave the ipod plugged in for a few minutes, like 2-5, it will eventually open up itunes and connect to the ipod but I dont like how slow it takes to connect. Does anyone know why this would be happening?

Same Problem with a Dimension 4500 with USB 2.0 so I am not sure that's the problem. It appears to be all about being patient for the PC to recognize the IPOD and get Itunes up and running. The things get better.
When updating the IPOD I get a message after 50 or so MB are transferred that the update has stopped because the disk is not accessible.
My guess on all this is that there is a incompatibility with the USB drivers

  • ITunes 7.0.2 freezes with new iPod 60GB

    Hello everyone
    Everytime I connect my iPod to my Powerbook G4 laptop, iTunes decides to freeze. This never happened to me before. I connect my Nano all the time and no problem.
    Is there a way to fix this little problem? I checked some sites where users suggest going through disk utilities and selecting my iPod then restoring it or fixing, something along those lines, so I tried doing that but for some reason I get an error message.
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Yes, Quicktime is up to date. Everything is up to day, but when placing the iPod in the dock while the iMac is running is when the problem arises.

  • ITunes freezes when connecting ipod

    I just recieved my 60GB iPod video and followed all the instructions exactly as supposed to...
    Step 1 was loading the software, which I had no problems with
    Step 2 was importing music to my computer, which I already had from my previous iPod
    Step 3 was connecting the iPod, this is where I ran into problems!
    I connected the iPod and the "Do not disconnect" screen was flashing on the iPod as it should, but iTunes did not open. When I tried to open iTunes myself it was frozen. I also tried to see if the iPod was appearing in windows explorer but that was frozen too. When I disconnected the iPod, iTunes and windows explorer began to run perfectly. I've spent 3 hours reseting, reloading and restarting everything but nothing has worked. Also, my laptop is very new so I'm pretty sure that's not the problem. If anyone knows what to do please let me know!

    I am having the same problem of my PC freezing when I plug in my 60 Gb iPod. My PC is runnging Windows XP professional. If the iPod is plugged in to the USB port everyting but the mouse freezes. As soon as I unplug the iPod the PC works perfectly. I uninstalled iTunes and the iPod utility and I still have the same freezing problem when the iPod is plugged in. I have a feeling their is a conflict with the iPod and my USB which is USB 1.1. When I plug the iPod into my Sony Vaio laptop everthing works perfectly. I am gooing to get a USB 2.0 and try that next. .

  • My 1st ipod was lost. My library is on a Dell with Windows.  I registered my new ipod to a Mac.  How can I get my library from Windows onto my new Ipod?

    My 1st ipod was lost. My library is on a Dell with Windows.  I registered my new ipod to a Mac.  How can I get my library from Windows onto my new Ipod?

    Thank you for your help.  I am still having trouble.  As you can tell, I am not technologically advanced AT ALL.  My music is all showing up in the library but when I go to file in the top left corner, Sync is greyed out and I cannot select it.  I'm gonna continue to try this.  It's been a long time since I had my 1st ipod and things have changed so much I will probably need to research this stuff.  Thanks again for your help.

    You can sync your iPod with multiple computers, but what can be synced is very limited.  See this article for more details.

  • 4 year old PC turns off when new iPod Nano is plugged in

    Hi,
    I have an older PC running Windows XP. I just bought a new 8G iPod Nano. When I attempted to plug it in to my computer for the first time, the computer abruptly turned off (it did not go through the shut down process) and I was unable to turn it back on for several minutes. Now the compuet is back on and appears to be functioning normally. Can anyone help me with this problem? I have not yet tried to plug in the iPod again. Thanks.

    I have the same problem and wondered if it was loosey goosey headphones which were just cheap 10 dollars buds.  So are you saying I should get new ear phones that fit tighter?
    That would be my guess....Here is what Apple has to say about the problem. 
       http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3700
    My guess is that it is a compatibility problem with older or aftermarket ear buds.  My daughter has a 6th generation Nano and does not have this problem but keep in mind she is using the ear buds that came with the 6th Generation Nano.  With the replacement program they are not sending new ear buds.  I just did a test with my daughters 6th Generation Nano using an old set of aftermarket ear buds I had in my desk and I was able to duplicate your issue.  I then used the ear buds from my Iphone 4s and did not have an issue with the Nano going to sleep and the music turning off.

  • Windows freezes when ipod is connected but charges fine-HELP!

    I've had my 80GB ipod video since October.Its never frozen before or anything like that.2 Days ago,I connected it to the computer and a few seconds later,the computer froze.Ever since,everytime I connect it,Windows freezes.I don't think there is a problem with the USB cable because it carges fine on my plug and also after the computer freezes,it keeps charging but no "Do Not Disconnect" on the screen.Thing is,it says "Do Not Disconnect" before th computer starts and then it stops and charges as soon as the Windows XP logo comes up and then the computer doesn't even start,freezes at the Windows XP screen.Help would be much appreciated.
    Thank You

    Usually theres no need for this, cuz when you uninstall iTUnes it does not erase the iTUnes Library, nor any music on the PC.
    That said its always a GREAT idea to back up your music regularly. Apple covers this on there site by using iTUnes to burn backups on CD, but it doesn't include backup of the all important iTunes Library file that contains all the playlist rating playcount Ect ect here it is tho http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93033
    Long as you have all your music in one folder like "My Music" you can just copy it to an external Harddrive. that will backup all the music AND all the iTUnes librarys and crap since its in the "My Music" folder by default

  • TS3212 after downloading the new version of Itunes onto my windows 8, my windows freezes when attempting to gain access to itunes store.  How do i Fix?

    After downloading the new version of Itunes onto my windows 8, my computer freezes when i attempt access into itunes store.  How can I fix this problem?

    Never heard of that being caused by installing iTunes. Try asking on a Windows forum. This isn't a problem with iTunes or any other Apple product. If you believe it is, uninstall iTunes. If the problem persists, you'll have to seek advice on a Windows forum or contact Microsoft for support.

  • New ipod 60gb and windows 98

    I got a 60gb Ipod but only have windows 98...is there an Itunes that would work with windows 98 so I can download onto my new Ipod?

    If I'm not mistaken...the requirements listed on the new video iPods are the same as the new nano: Windows 2000 (SP4) or Windows XP/Pro (SP2) plus iTunes 7.0 or later.

  • Itunes freezes when my Ipod is connected

    Whenever I plug in my ipod, my Itunes freezes. When it does resume running, it wont show my ipod. I know that it is connected becasue it appears under computer, but it wont appear in Itunes. Anyone know what to do? I am running Windows 7 64 bit.

    Try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If your iPod is with in the one-year warrranty, not abused and defective Apple will replace it.

  • ITunes freezes when connecting iPod Touch - even after restored

    Hi,
    I have an iPod Touch 32GB 4th generation, I have never had any problems with it until now.
    Today I tried to connect it to my iTunes (on my MacBook Pro - late 2011 model) in order to sync it so that I could transfer some of my new music and iTunes would freeze. The mouse would pinwheel and I would have to force quit (it would not respond for over 30mins if left unattended). I created a new admin user and the itunes on the other user recognised the iPod just fine. I used the other user to restore my iPod in the hopes that when connected to my library again, it would be a 'new' ipod and so it would no longer freeze. Unfortunately this was not the case, despite my library recognising an ipod in recovery mode and being able to restore it (so that I can now at least use it in its most basic form). It has subsequently frozen each time I connect my iPod. How can I fix this? Should I just wait for the next iTunes upgrade?
    Thank you
    Frances

    Hi Frances,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    The sugestions in the article below should help. They will resolve most issues that cause iTunes to stop responding when an iOS device is connected to the computer.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3219
    Symptoms
    In rare instances, iTunes may become unresponsive when connecting an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to your computer. iTunes may become responsive again after you disconnect the device from the computer.
    Resolution
    Expand All Sections | Collapse All Sections
    Follow the steps below to troubleshoot the issue:
    Install any available software updates for your computer.
    For Mac OS X: Click the Apple () menu, choose Software Update, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    For Windows: Refer to the documentation for your computer for instructions on using Windows Update to update your computer.
    Update iTunes to the latest version.
    For Mac OS X: Click the Apple () menu, choose Software Update, and follow the on-screen instructions. You can also download iTunes from the Apple website.
    For Windows: Use Apple Software Update, or download iTunes from the Apple website.
    Test with automatic syncing disabled.Reconnect your device and test to see if the issue still occurs. If your device is recognized successfully, you may be able to isolate which type of data is causing the issue. Do this by deselecting all syncing options under each of the syncing tabs and then sync. After that, re-enable your sync options one at a time until the issue returns.
    Note: If the issue only occurs when syncing data from the Info tab is enabled (For example: Contact, Calendar, Mail account or Bookmark syncing), reset the Sync History (for Mac OS X instructions see this article, for Windows see this article).
    For Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences. Click the Devices tab and place a check next to option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically." Click OK.
    For Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences. Click the Devices tab and place a check next to option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically." Click OK.
    Check your device for podcasts. If there are any podcasts, manually delete all podcast episodes from the device by sliding your finger across the podcast episode's name and tapping Delete. Once all podcasts are removed from your device, reconnect it to the computer, open iTunes, and test.
    If possible, test to see if connecting your device to a different computer with the latest version of iTunes installed resolves the issue.
    Test with iTunes plug-ins removed.
    Quit iTunes.
    Navigate to the following folder, based on your operating system:
    Windows XP:  C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins
    Windows Vista or Windows 7:  C:\Users\[username]\App Data\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins
    Mac OS X:
    ~/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins   (The "~" represents your Home folder)
    /Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins
    If any files are in this folder, move them to the Desktop temporarily.
    Open iTunes and test to see if the issue is resolved. If so, you may leave these iTunes plug-ins removed. If you wish to re-use these iTunes plug-ins, consult the vendor for the iTunes plug-ins to see if any updates are available.

  • Window freezes when Product category selected via match-code (search help)

    Hello Experts,
    I am using SRM 7.0 Extended Classic Scenario.
    I maintained a product category hierarchy in the SRM environment.
    I maintained the GL Accounts related, the tax determination, the source system etc.
    I did all this customizing in a Development environment where everything was working fine.
    Now I just transported all this to a Quality environment.
    And in the Quality I am facing the following issue :
    If I select a product category via the match-code (search help), after the category is selected, the window freezes.
    I have to shut it down manually using the Windows Close button.
    However, when I type the category number, everything works fine.
    Do you have any idea what could be causing this issue, and how to fix it ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Sofiane

    Hello,
    We have the exact same issue in SRM 7.0 Extented Classic Scenario. This was working fine before we installed the latest support package 11. Which support package do you have?
    The same problem occurs with every drop down menu (search help) in EBP. For example when creating a new shopping cart, if I try to add approver, the same thing happens. After clicking 'Approval Process: Display / Edit Agents' > 'Add Approver', the window freezes. Same thing happens with IE8 and Firefox 3.6.13. Could you also try the same?
    Could it be a new bug in SP11?
    Thanks and best regards,
    Matti Hokkanen

  • ITunes freezes when verifying iPod

    My macbook freezes when verifying my ipod on itunes 10.5.

    It may help to just wait 10 minutes or so after iTunes has "frozen". This same thing happened to me, it was verifying and crashed. I tried reinstalling, restarting the ipod, etc, etc. It happened about 10 times with me quitting the program through task manager each time it froze. Finally I just decided to let it sit for a while after freezing instead of exiting, and lo and behold, the sync started after about 5 minutes. Try this for now and hopefully Apple will fix this bug eventually.
