My 13-yr old son has just spent his xmas money on a new i-touch. We expected to plug and play but the i-tunes on our PC states that we need to download version 9 of itunes …. and when we 'run' gives us a Blue Screen.
Having crashed the PC a few times now frustration levels are rising!
Are there any ways around this? The i-touch appears to have no life without the pc…
….and the PC looks like it needs a trip to the techy guys along the road.

Thanks

Sounds like you need to do a bit of house keeping on your pc first.

Go to http://www.ccleaner.com and download their free app.
clears out old rubbish and there's a registry checker.

Run a disk cleanup through Windows disk management too.

Then reboot and see if your machine is still stable.

Google your iTouch/blue screen issue.

Maybe your anti-virus need an update, or you need to kill off some uneccessary startup programs.

Did you change anti-virus programs recently?

Next time it blue screens (if it does), write down the error codes and google them as well.

Good luck!

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

what spongebob said. Check that your PC has a spec suitable for iTunes 9. Although from the BSD effect it does sound like windows cruft problems.
Nearly all mp3 players need a personal computer to load files onto them.
The iPod touch is great.
