Techy Question About Ipod and USB Powersurge

[A fem bot]

I'm advancing in the world of technology as I got an Ipod shuffle for christmas from a friend. Unfortunatly the rest of my techologies are not so modernly advanced and my e-machine's USB ports have a blow out when I plug in the shuffle. Plugging it into all USB ports I get the same message: power surge on the hub port, one of the usb ports have exceeded power limits
. I tried leaving it plugged in regardless of the message but it doesn't look like it's charging at all and I googled this problem but didn't find the helpful answer so, I wondered if you've come across this problem and may know if there is a reasonably simple solution.

sounds like you need to upgrade your hardware, to like a computer from the most recent decade..

It was a hand-me-down. Yah a brand new PC would be GREAT, anyone buying? All I need is the Inspiron Desktop from Dell with the AMD Celeron......

I brought the Ipod over to my friends and tried it on hers and it's doing the same thing so it must be a faulty componant from Apple.
