Whenever I boot up my iMac with my iPod plugged in, it just sits at a grey screen (even if I hold alt to get to the Boot Camp menu). As soon as I unplug my iPod, it boots normally. It seems as if it's trying to boot off the iPod or something. Anyone know why this is happening? Thanks
 
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.
:apple:
 
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.
