Windows XP crashes when iPod Nano or iPhone 3G syncs

My computer has been crashing when i attempt to sync my iPod/iPhone
I had an iPod nano for about a year with no problems, I upgraded to Service Pack 2 and afterwards Service Pack 3 to get my iPhone 3G to work. It sync'ed well the first couple of times but now I cannot even get my old iPod to sync without my computer shutting down, I have the option on to not automatically restart on failure or something like that. No blue screen of death or anything
What should I do because I'm really honestly quite frustrated at this point. Any help is greatly appreaciated.

I've been getting the same problem since upgrading to 7.1. Upgraded to 7.7.1 problem still happens. I have searched everywhere for a fix and a thread where some diagnosis seemed to be taking place but this has been extremely slow.
As a workaround, I found that using an older USB port works. USB 2.0 seems to always crash my iPod Nano 3rd Generation. My 1st Generation works fine with USB 2.0
I hope this helps.

  • Windows Vista Crashing When Ipod is Plugged In. Blue Screen of Death?

    A week ago, my computer suddenly started to reboot whenever I plugged my 5th generation 80 gig Ipod in to sync. A blue screen will pop up, and automatically restart.
    I do not believe this is the blue screen of death that appeared 2 months ago. I have upgraded to Itunes 8.0.1 when it was first released, and I had no problems until a week ago. I haven't heard of anyone receiving the blue screen of death since the update to Itunes 8 was released.
    I have also lost all of my music from my Ipod, so I am anxious to figure this out.
    Here is what the blue screen (certain passages paraphrased, the specifics were copied directly):
    A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
    BADPOOLHEADER
    If this is the firs time you've seen this stop error screen, restart yoru computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
    Make sure all hardware and software is properly installed
    If it continues, disable/remove any newly installed hardware and software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shawoding. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 for Advanced Sartup options, then select safe mode.
    Technical information:

    /end blue screen
    Any help you have would be greatly appreciated!

    Have you tried the troubleshooting advice in this article?

    Was a file name mentioned in the stop message? usually something.sys That can be a clue to the problem is the Apple advice doesn't help.

  • Itunes for windows 7 crashes when I plug my Iphone 4s in

    I'm running Itunes 11.1.4.62  in Windows 7 Professional SP1 environment. 
    It works fine until I plug my new Iphone 4S in, then it just becomes unresponsive... no matter how long I leave it.  The only way to exit is to shut it through task manager.
    Its always worked fine with my Ipod!

    The error message that eventually shows on the frozen application (if I minimise all other windows) states:
    iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services.
    Reconnect or try again later.
    Please help!

  • Itunes and Windows Explorer crash when ipod attached

    Hi, for some reason my ipod has started to crash both my laptop and my home desktop computer whenever i attach it. It shows up in Windows Explorer but if i click on the icon it crashes the window. Similarly, Itunes opens if i attach my ipod but then freezes straight away, but then if i take out my ipod it starts to work fine again. Im starting to think that seeing as this is happening on more than one computer it might be a fault with the ipod. Any ideas?!
    O and it's a 120gb ipod classic and im using the most up to date itunes on vista.
    Thanks alot

    Im starting to think that seeing as this is happening on more than one computer it might be a fault with the ipod.
    I'm with you on that. By any chance do you have a spare USB cable (or have access to a different one)? If so, try experimenting with connecting using the other cable. Do you still get the freeze with that?

  • My ipod nano will no longer sync with itunes since i have purchased an iphone 4s and synced it with itunes.

    My ipod nano will no longer sync with itunes since i purchased an iphone 4s and synced the phone with itunes.  When I plug my ipod into my imac, it does not even read or recognize my ipod.  What do i do?

    Are you using the original cable that came with Nano and not your iPhone's cable?  Have you worked through the troubleshooting in this Apple support document?

  • How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?

    hi,
    i'm seriously considering buying an iphone. but before i do, i just have a couple of questions:
    1. How can I transfer my music from ipod nano to iphone?
    2. Will there be an iphone with higher memory capacity than 16gb? If so, when will it be out. (If there will be memory sizes of ipod similar to ipod classic, then i think it's better if i wait a little longer considering that there's only little difference in the price).
    Thank you!!

    I don't believe there will be an iPhone with storage capacity equivalent to the iPod Classic anytime soon - at least not within the next month, or even this year or the next.
    The iPod Classic has a hard drive. The iPod Touch and iPhone have Flash storage. Flash storage is more expensive than the hard drive equivalent, but the cost for Flash storage is coming down - supply an demand is probably helping this. The iPod Touch has double the storage capacity of the largest iPhone storage capacity since the iPod Touch doesn't include a cell phone - the case has more room for two 16GB Flash drives. More than likely there will be a 32GB iPhone at some point, but I believe it will be a while before we see a 64GB iPhone or larger approaching the storage capacity that is available with an iPod Classic.

  • Problems downloading audiobooks from Overdrive [Windows 8] to my IPod Nano 7th gen.  Not showing up on the Ipod. Any suggestions?

    problems downloading audiobooks from Overdrive [Windows 8] to my IPod Nano 7th gen.  Not showing up on the Ipod. Any suggestions?

    The iPod's screen indicates that the iPod is connected? 
    In Windows, the iPod will not appear as removable storage, unless it is set in iTunes to Enable disk use.  By default, it is NOT set to Enable disk use.
    In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  When the iPod is connected, it should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  It does not appear there?

  • I am going to japan with an Ipod nano and Iphone 4. Do I need a converter? or does the one the iphone comes with that plugs into the wall enough?

    I am going to japan with an Ipod nano and Iphone 4. Do I need a converter? or does the one the iphone comes with that plugs into the wall enough? I know i wont need an adapter because it will fit into the wall outlet, but voltage wise, will i need a converter? Japan runs on 100 V. I am so confused on all of this...

    As long as the adapter is 2 pronged, then you should be able to use it without any problems.

    What do you mean it isn't' compatible?  What isn't compatible?
    There is no limit to the number of iPods you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or iTunes account.  Simply connect each separate iPod/iPhone to your computer and configure each to sync whatever content you wish to.
