Ok I have a 30G video ipod and i used to plug it into my old computer and everything was fine.
So then i get a new computer. I download Itunes and plug it in.

One thing you could try, to eliminate the problem being power, is if you plug in a POWERED USB hub to the machine. This is a little usb box with its own 5v power supply, and it won't rely on the computer to give power to the USB. If you plug the iPod into a powered usb hub and the computer doesn't freeze, then you know what's wrong.
What a PSU??
and do you know where i can get one of the powered USB boxes?
I'll answer some of your questions re: terminology for you.
OS = operating system. (e.g. Windows XP Home, Windows XP Pro, etc.)
and my old computer worked fine to.
its just since i got this new computer my new computer freezes when i plug it in
Trev, do you have another computer you can test it on?
HERE's an USB hub on Newegg. It includes a power adapter.
If you saw 15-20 iPods a day that did the same thing, all of them with bad/dead hard drives, you might change your tune.
it worked fine on his computer but he doesnt have Itunes so i thought maybe it was itunes on my computer that was doing it so i uninstalled Itunes and plugged my Ipod in and again it froze.
I think im just going to try the USB hub with a power adaptor...
I have never bought things off the net yet. Do you think they would have one at radio shack or something or at Frys?
I have no idea whats wrong with it. I think i should just get another new computer lol
it is and i have had many problems with creative.
i even have threads because my computer will not end a process called devldr.exe
I found out thats all because of creative.
do you think this could also be because of creative?
Also i was not using creative on my old computer. maybe thats why it worked on that computer and not this one...
If it is a plug in - I would take it out & remove the drivers for it and just use the onboard (on motherboard) sound - see if that helps.
Thrax i really think its my computer...
ever since i got this computer it has had many problems that i cannot figure out..
but i know its not my ipod because I use it on my sisters computer now since we pretty much have the same taste in music..
even though she lives like 2 hours away from me haha
I still think it has something to do with the creative sound card though... somehow
because i didnt have it on my old computer and it worked fine. and ever since i have had creative i have had problems with shutting down and dumb stuff like this
