[solved] USB device drops connection than reconnects

My ipod connects via usb fine, i can transfer files etc. But sometimes the device disappears (no /dev/sd*) without any reason (without unplugging), just to reappear 5 second later (sometimes KDE pops up 3 "new device" windows because of this).
The cable is OK because i can use the device without any problem on other computers. Also i don't see this bug with any other usb device.

Anyone saw something like this? Is it a problem with some usb related setting, or my computer/ipod is broken?

... turns out my usb mouse caused the problem. Unplugged it and the connection issues are gone.
