iPod Nano 5th Gen restarts (Apple logo) whenever I plug/unplug USB after transferring games #54

Description

Hello,

I’ve successfully transferred games to my iPod Nano 5th Gen (16GB) using this method. All 49 games, music, and videos appear and work perfectly.

However, I’ve noticed that every time I plug the iPod into iTunes (no longer using a VM — running iTunes directly on Windows 11) or eject it, the device briefly shows the Apple logo as if it’s restarting.

Some details:
• Device: iPod Nano 5th Gen, 16GB
• Behavior: Plugging in → Apple logo appears → then “Do Not Disconnect” or charging screen
Ejecting → Apple logo again → then normal menu
• All content works fine afterward (nothing missing or corrupted).

My question:
• Is this reboot/Apple logo behavior normal firmware behavior when switching between playback mode and disk/sync mode, or could it indicate some issue with iTunesDB or game files?

Thanks in advance!
