Windows 7, iTunes, shutting down hang: update

Posted by: Matt in General

Recently the “never stops shutting down” problem came BACK to my tablet whenever I ran iTunes, a problem I never had until I upgraded to Windows 7.

I did some research on the net and ONE thing caught my attention. A user suggested plugging the USB cable into a USB port directly on the motherboard. I was plugging mine into the side port on my Tx2z, so I decided to see if plugging it into the back would fix the problem.

It looks like it did. I was able to sync my iPhone to iTunes with no problem, shut down iTunes and successfully shut down the tablet! So if you are having the same problem I am, try plugging your iPod or iPhone into a USB jack that is directly tied to the motherboard. It worked for me! Good luck.

    ITunes is notoriously picky about USB. So much so that if I have a hub plugged into my motherboard my IPhone won’t update. Never mind the fact that I am not using the hub. ITunes just hates it that bad.

    yeah, mainly cause the USB ports that are direct to M/B get a higher voltage then the extra’s, most commonly noticed when using the 2.5 external HD’s that require your pc to power the device itself. its a pain.
