iPod freezes wtartup when plugged in
I recently started having the problem of the iMac freezing on startup when my 30gig iPod is plugged in; well it freezes every other time it boots. The Mac stays at the grey screen before the apple logo and the spinning gear. I know it's the iPod b/c when I disconnect it, the computer resumes startup.
We have another iMac with the same setup and the same iPod was plugged into it and it started up fine. I know the solution i to not plugin the iPod, but why is it that the other iMac is fine and mine not?
I have run hardware tests, FSCK, Pram rests and even disconnected everything plugged into the iMac and waited 15sec before plugging it all back in and booting up. Same thing.
Any thoughts? Thanks a lot
