Help !, can someone tell me if I'm doing something wrong. I've got an 8g Ipod & since the other day, every time I plug it in, the computer freezes up, I've tried all the different ports, I even tried plugging in my old MP3 player, but it still froze up.

When i plug mine in or take it out Windows Explorer has started to crash and restart.
It doesn't do anything bad, it is just a pain.
Windows obviously knows it's made by Apple

Best bet is to make sure that your computer has a high speed USB port to connect to your iPod.

Is it ITunes that freezes up or your actual computer? I have the same issue with ITunes but only since upgrading to v7, it sorts itself out eventually.....

It's the computer that freezes up, I've tried all three ports. Even plugging in my old mp3 player made the computer freeze up.

I wanted to put some more Abba tracks on my ipod but as I couldn't I thought I'd try putting them on the mp3 from the shared folder, bypassing Itunes, but no.

It doesn't freeze up when I plug in the cord for my digital camera to upload photos though.

My son reckons I've got too much crap on here..........!!! he might be right.

Try downloading the latest version of iTunes. I had a similar problem. It was iTunes that was freezing the computer, the latest version resolved the issue. Apparently it's something to do with reindexing everything on the iPod each time it connects.
