Change the settings in itunes to make it so the ipod doesnt automatically connect to i tunes.

@KulliK357 Said

It doesn't do that anyway, i sync using winamp due to itunes being unreliable and s***.

Did you use that iDump link that you showed me? When I used it, I was able to pull things off the iPod before I went through with a reset. Then I updated to the latest iTunes, and was able to copy most of those songs back onto the iPod....

@KulliK357 Said

The reset happens by itself, it happens regardless of what programs are launched.
and it only stays on for like two seconds before it resets.

@sAeGeSpAeNe Said

Have you got a second USB connecting cord? You make have accidentally damaged the one you have, causing some sort of short... This could happen if the cord has been pinched or overstressed....

@KulliK357 Said

Sadly not, i believe it may be connected to the other problem i failed to mention however, it will not recognise the music and video which is on it.
Sorry, no idea why i left that out.

@sAeGeSpAeNe Said

But, is it not a characteristic of the reset, that all material on the iPod is lost? If you manage to copy things into it, and it then resets with repeat-connection to a PC, you won't have any media to recognize, no?

@KulliK357 Said

It only started crashing after i resynced it (using winamp) so i don't think the reset is the problem at this point.
