computer-killing iPod? Or, why does plugging my iPod into my computer freeze my computer?

Question

So I only have a firewire connection, and I can run iTunes alright. At first the iPod showed that "apple.com/ipod/support/" screen before shutting off, and now it functions alright on its own...but the iPod's memory seems to be erased, and plugging it into my computer makes everything freeze up.

Answer 1

Start by redownloading/reinstalling iTunes.
