I have a 60gb ipod video 5'th gen. I recently bought a computer/mac, and so before this I never was able to plug my ipod dock into a computer. But I recently tried this, only to find out that every time I take the computer in and out of sleep, my ipod is connecting and disconnecting every time. I was just wondering if this could in some way be bad for the ipod, maybe make for excess wear and tear.
