Try holding the play/pause button (under the center circle button). That's how my iPod mini turns off.

you have a lot of "stuff" running in the background or something like drivers or programs are conflicting and XP has to deal with them before shutting down. Also if you have restore points activated it could be saving a restore point

Sounds like your processor is over heating...that will definitely shut down your computer.

Well, leave it alone for a little while, let it run out of power. Sometimes ipods just freeze up. After that,just charge it back up. It should work. I speak from experience!

I heard that happening with some anti virus software.\nTry shutting down after deactivating the software.\n\nIf that doesnt help try finding out if its a hardware problem.\nGet a program called "end it all" which will close down all running applications and your computer should shut down, if it doesnt then its a hardware thing.

The iPod might be bad... or the USB port is faulty. The computer doesn't need any software to "see" the iPod when it is connected as the iPod is usually seen as an external harddrive. So the problem is most likely hardware related. Faulty cable, iPod or USB port.

When restoring some iPod models with USB you will have to disconnect the iPod from the computer and attach it to the iPod AC Adapter to finish the restore (a graphic of a plug on the iPod will indicate if you have to do this. Some iPod models connecting via USB, including iPod mini (Second Generation) and iPod nano, do not need to be connected to the AC power adapter.\n\n   1. Open the iPod Software Updater application. It can be found by clicking on the Start menu, pointing to All Programs (Windows XP) or Programs (Windows 2000), and then point to iPod.\n   2. Select the iPod Updater showing the most recent date in the filename.\n   3. Connect your iPod to your Windows PC.\n   4. When it becomes available, click Restore. An alert box appears to confirm you want to restore iPod.\n   5. A progress bar appears on the computer screen.\n   6. When the restore process on the computer has finished, close the iPod Updater and look at the screen on the iPod.\n          * If you see an image of a wall power plug, connect your iPod to the AC adapter that came with it and plug it into a wall outlet and wait for the restore to complete.\n          * If you see a progress bar underneath the Apple logo, leave the iPod connected to the computer.\n          * If you had to put iPod into Disk Mode before restoring, the iPod screen may display "OK to Disconnect" and you may need to reset iPod. \n   7. After the restore is complete and the iPod is connected to the computer, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear asking you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences similar to when you connected your iPod for the first time. \n\niPod has been restored to factory settings and updated with the music and playlists in your iTunes music library.

If by „shut down” you mean it powers itself down, its obviously adapter problem (could be both software corruption or hardware malfunction). \nIf by “shut down” you mean you loose internet connection, check time of LAN DHCP lease in routers interface.

Hi,\nIt generally happens that due to power failure or any other Disk I/O error, windows does not successfully close the files. In such a case, it considers them as lost file fragments and converts them all to .CHK extension with a trucated length.\nYou may be able to play the songs (though I have never seen such a thing happening). So, the best thing you can do is to change the extensions manually to .mp3 and continue using the files as you did earlier on.\n\nTo prevent any such incidences in future, always shut down your PC and dont switch is off directly.\nUse a UPS if possible

Look up the manual on your comp and you can find help there.I had the same problem and it took a while but managed to fix it.\nHolding the MENU button with one finger and the round button with another finger at the same time for 10 seconds should do the trick.(of course while IPOD is connected to your comp)Good luck...tell me if it worked!!

I had the same problem. If you know someone with an ipod ask them if they have an itunes setup cd that you can borrow. If that doesn't work then try re downloading it and if that doesn't work then get mad at a few people. I have an itunes setup cd, but I'm not sure how I would get it to you if you are far from Texas.

Ure ipod charges cos the usb cable has power directly given off without any software required.\n\nYou have to install the USB driver for the iPod ( CD should be supplied with it) and make sure it gets detected by the operating system and then restart the pc and it should appear in the prefernces section of itunes.

If you have already checked the battery, what about the AC adapter cna you run it just on the mains, does it shut down. \n\nIf it doesnt shut down, it just may be that the battery is faulty  or even check the power save/optimisation settings.\n\nIf it does shut down then check the following:\n\nLaptop overheating - make sure none of the vents are blocked/clogged up, when in use.\n\nProcessor Overheating - CPU fan may be faulty, so processor starts to overheat and system shuts down to protect the processor.\n\nGet it checked out by a pro, to be safe.\n\nGood Luck\nBattery Wizard
