Everytime I plug my Ipod via USB the computer freezes. The "safely remove hardware" icon is in the taskbar and the Ipod charges.
I reformatted my entire hard disk to try to eliminate the problem and all the software was reinstalled but no luck. Any help would be great because apple are as useful as a chocolate teapot. cheers x

i agree with you about apple the only help i can offer is this
http://www.creative.com/products/mp3/zen...
i bought an iPod video for $300, i refunded it and got the creative zen vision M, best choice i ever made, first of all, iPods always have problems, look at how many people on here have problems with them. also it only plays very specific file types. it only plays music in MP3 format, not WMA, WMAs are half the size of MP3s, which means this.
iPods - $300 - 20GB - 10,000 MP3s
creative zen - $300 - 30GB - 15,ooo MP3s, or 30,000 WMAs
would you rather have 10,000 songs or triple that many for the same price. the iPod doesn't even play video unless you either buy the videos from itunes, or buy extra software to make each video compatible, with the zen, you can play any video you want, right out of the box. also the creative play FM and records from it, the iPod doesn't even play FM. also the zen has much muhc much longer battery life, no matter what apple advertise, you can only watch continual video for 1 and a half hours. with the zen it goes on past 4 hours. and the battery on iPods dies beyond rechargeability after a year, thats right, iPods dont work after a year. the zen will last you forever.when your iPod malfunctions each month you also have the security of knowing that the apple company service will ignore and neglect you, the creative customer service is great, not that ive ever had to call for this product. the iPods only sell so well because they are a fashion accessory, they are for people that wont even use the features they lie about having. the creative is for people that actually want their money's worth.
please trust me, i have owned both of these products and i work with them, i know what im talking about.

What operating system and hardware are you using? Do you have any other hardware that uses the USB port? Any problems with it?

maybe the problem is your computer. Get it checked out by a specialists and show him the problem. He or she will know how to fix it. They are used to that sort of stuff.

all you had to do was use the safely remove hardware bit, and remove the drivers.. then re install using the latest ipod software available from apple.com......
