iPod questions & tech support

[Sin Cut]

can an ipod make your computer crash ?

Depends. Is your ipod a good driver?

lmao 

no but serisouly they shouldnt make your computer crash. how many songs are on there? im not sure if it makes a difference, but it might.

especially if you got Bon Jovi uploaded to the iPod many computers can't handle it. That's why D hasn't been logged in for ages.

[kaasupoltin]

I don't think that iPod itself makes your computer crash, but iTunes might. Have you updated your system for a while? And hey I know what's the solution now.. get some Apple Windows will crash anyway..

[Gunner80]

Normally no, crashes and lock-ups are mostly caused by faulty hardware.

[horsey]

OK I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF THINGS.it still happens freezing up but comes back.she downloaded itunes and that worked so far.i don't feel like going through another computer cause of this now.believe me i don't want that.

good jokes by the way.but im trying to be serious.

ok now you wil have to define crash.... as a crash to me is  a hard lock, and the computer has to be turned off........ now you speak of freezing, so that the system hangs after you attach the ipod?

is that is what you mean how long are we talking about.... 5s 30s 1min 5 min?

if its the 5s dont worry about it...... and stop being a sook
if its 30s most likely too much crap running in the backround causing for slow memory access
if 1min buy more ram and start shuttting down crap in the litle spot by the clock... shutting down crap is good for teh 30s one
if 5 mins.... give me the current system info..... HD type size freespace, OS type and version including updates, amount of ram, ill need to know what your cpu usage is at idle and how much memory you are using.... and your swap file info


if you were to start up the computer then once everything ws loaded up u launched mmmmmmmmmmmmm IE how long would it take to loadthe program tot he screen... not including the tie it would take to launch to your homepage

[sesor]

ok, if i happened to be in a rush to go away, ipod updating, needed to leave the house that second or i'd be left behind, but wasnt gonna leave my 'Pod behind...so i unplug it and it wipes it clean and computer won't recognise it...is there anyway i can fix it? that is as cheap as possible??

[babydolls]

when you unplugged pod, did you Eject it first?  If not, that could be why.  Is it new and up to date?  I ask as I've had mine just over a year and have always kept up to date with the upgrades etc.  Had a problem yesterday and took to the Apple store - the guy had to wipe it all and give it a system upgrade. perhaps yours needs the same.

Have you tried restoring factory settings? you can do that manually yourself - its fixed a small prob for me in the past.

or...

If you are close to an Apple store - I'd advise booking in and letting them have a look at it - they will advise for free.  If you still have warranty, you will get a new, free replacement if needs be.

I've learned my lesson regarding unplugging the iPod while it says "Do Not Disconnect"...  Did you try restarting it (holding down the middle and menu button for ten seconds) and then reconnecting it to your computer?

[zman]

if you unplug the Ipod before you disconnect will cause damage to your internal drive and you will then have to send it in ifyou cannot restore. I learned this the hard way and did this after the warranty was up and lost 27.7 gb (4011 songs) of music. The hard thing was I lost ALL of my leaked GnR songs that i did not back up. So now i have to wait for the new album to get the tracks back. 

[bazgnr]

I don't have my ipod with me now, but I believe that you can set the shuffle funtion to "songs," "albums," or "off."  It will either shuffle the songs on a playlist or jump between albums...
