iMac doesn't boot when iPod plugged in?

try resetting pram sounds like something at boot is hanging. If that doesn't work try a reinstalling os x.

 

I have the same problem with my iPod. I have a 1st Gen iPod Nano and every time I reboot my computer (PC :-( ) it stays at the brand logo screen. I unplug and it's smooth sailing. So I decided to check out why it started doing this, and I uninstalled the newest update. Apparently the update made the damn thing lock up in boot. Sucks.

 

Happens to my pee cee also!

But its probably Windows!

 

weird

 

Same thing here on my iMac and it used to happen on my PC too. I'm assuming its something to do with the potential to boot from a USB device, so the machine is checking out the iPod from a drive point of view, but not finishing the process properly.

 

Yea I thought it was just me, well I'm kind of relieved it wasn't just me.
