(ipod)computer freezes during upload

so, my computer is completely frozen in the middle of uploading, can't find any info on what to do, this is the first day I've had my iPod mini, and I don't want to completely screw it up, plus I leave for Iraq tommorow... any help?

Do you have USB 2.0 or 1.1? if you use it with 1.1 that could screw it up...

Good luck in Iraq man. I hope you come home healthy and well. :)

I have a 1.1 but I wouldn't think that would freeze it, although I know yer not supposed to do that...

I restarted the computer and it started up where it left off apparently no harm done, I won't need my laptop for at least a year and a half so, the comp issue isn't that big of a deal to me, thanks tho!

It's okay to unplug it during a frozen situation on Windows if you dont mind losing all your songs on it.

Don't bother using ipod with firewire if you only have a mini-firewire connector (that thing has incompatiblity issues as well as not being able to power the ipod).

Use the USB2.0 cable that came with it.

Good ****ing luck in Iraq dude, I hope you don't end up hurt for nothing like many people did. Cheers!

The iPod doesn't support any USB before 2.0 me thinks (unless it used to work for you). Try FireWire.
