The Stig Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Right my comp died a couple of days ago and i managed to realize what achieved this black screen i tracked it down by unplugging and narrowing the search!! My i-pod crashes the computer when attached at first i thought it was a USB overload however when i minimize the amount of USB it does the same weird anyone got any ideas how i can fix it??

Dr. Nick Riviera Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 try resetting it, or plugging it into another computer and see if it does the same. to reset your ipod flick hold ON for about 5 seconds, then off. then hold down menu and the middle button together until the apple logo appears on the screen.

The Stig Posted September 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 new i-pod or new PSU??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 new i-pod or new PSU???Neither. I guarantee it will be a software issue on your computer. Nothing to do with the power supply or anything like that. Do virus/spyway/adware checks and if possible reinstall Windows. If that's not possible, just reinstall iTunes and see what happens.

Dr. Nick Riviera Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 all the songs will be on the computer and the ipod, but just scanning for spyware/nasties won't do anything to your music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stig Posted September 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 i had a virus scan recently using trials version of NOD 32, N antivirus is naff and it can't have been affected after then plus i defragged the comp so i will try a uninstall and a install!!
