Blue Screen of Death when syncing with iTunes. Please HELP!

I have noticed a few others experiencing this problem as well.
http://www.everythingiphone.com/forum/windows-pc-and-iphone/blue-screen-error-wh en-i-plug-the-phone-into-my-xp-laptop-3038.html
Aside from the (don't use windows XP comments), does anyone have any information on this? I have emailed Apple a couple times but have gotten no answer back yet.
What is happening is that when I plug in my iphone to itunes a "Digital Still Camera" pops up in the system tray and then blue screen of death appears. Some people have said that all you have to do is delete all your photos and it will sync, but does anyone have any other suggestions without having to delete all my photos anytime I want to sync?
Thanks for the help in advance.

The first response was correct, the computer (xps 1210) used a logitech camera driver that I did not recognize so I deleted it. The software was still active and crashed the computer. Fix was reinstall logitech software and driver. Updating the driver would have probably worked. Thank you!

  • Blue screen of death when syncing verizon I phone

    I receive a blue screen of death when I try to sync my I phone 4 with I tunes on my laptop. The initial sync went fine, I am connected to my Exchange server for email and have downloaded CD's to I Tunes, when I try to sync...blue screen. I have run registry fix and virus programs and have no errors. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  • IPad crashes PC laptop with blue screen of death when syncing

    I just got a brand new iPad and I cannot sync a bunch of songs or photos without it just completely shutting down my laptop (PC)and giving me the "blue screen of death". I tried reinstalling iTunes, disconnecting any USB connections I may have and completely updating my lappy...but nothing works! Why can't apple just make something as simple as "syncing" work? Do I have to buy a Mac in order for my iPad to work properly?! Please help me out with this syncing problem.

    Hello iPadgirl777,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    First of all, you posted this in the *6th Generation iPod Nano* forum, when you should have posted it in the iPad forum.
    Anyways, check out this Apple support document related to your issue.

  • Blue Screen Of Death When Syncing Ipod

    Hey so if anyone can help me i will love you so much,
    So I have a 20GB fourth generation ipod (old i know) but it works fine, and i have an new HP laptop that i got for christmas and like for a good 2 months everything was fine with itunes and then one time it told me i needed to restore my ipod to factory settings and i was like oh this is annoying but whatever ive done it before so i just did it, but the next time i tried syncing my ipod the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH came up and that scared me but i thought maybe it was just a one time thing...turns out it wasnt and now every time i try to sync my ipod the blue screen comes up and i have to restart my computer. my itunes otherwise works fine i listen to music on it and add music to itunes perfectly fine just the syncing doesnt work. I also thought maybe it could be my ipod because it is old so i went down to my desktop which has XP and and older version of itunes but it worked completly fine. SOOOOOOOOOOO i have no idea what to do. i dont know tons about computers but im not ******** and can most likely follow directions so if anyone could help me it would be much apreciated because i can not take listening to the god awful radio in the car much longer.

    Have you tried System Restore to go back to before the problem started?
    If that fixes the Blue Screen Of Death issue, then you can try and track down the changes from then to when the problem started.
    Good Luck.

  • My Ipod will not sync with Itunes - PLEASE HELP

    I have a bunch of songs on my ipod that I have from my previous computer and they will not sync with Itunes on my new computer. I have authorized the computer, I have also selected the "transfer purchases from ipod" option, I have spent the last day reading through FAQs but have found no solution. How do I fix the problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

    The transfer purchases option only works with music purchased from iTunes and you don't say if this is the case.
    Here's some other option for Windows users.
    First, try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

  • Syncing with iTunes, please help!

    I cannot for the life of me get my iPhone to sync with iTunes... I recently had to restore my computer completely, and as a result downloaded the new iTunes, as everything on my computer was wiped out. I also changed from one account to another on my phone at around the same time, and the phone number changed. I don't know if either of these could affect syncing or not. I have tried ALL iTunes suggested troubleshooting, down to uninstalling EVERYTHING to do with iTunes and reinstalling it. Nothing is working, please please help! I'm so frustrated.

    Is your computer authorized? Is your phone recognized in itunes? If yes, did you restore your phone? Can you transfer your purchases from the phone to the computer?

  • Blue screen of death when syncing to iPod and iPhone.

    I wish I could laugh. "Upgraded" to iTunes 8 and no longer can use my computer to sync to either my iPhone or my iPod. Thanks for the upgrade Apple. Now that I cannot update my portable music devices I have the extra time to stare at the new visualizer. Woooopie.
    Apple is happy to point out how unfriendly Microsoft products are, but since I got this Vista box I have never seen the BSOD... Until tonight.
    So, what to do? Wait for a "solution" to my upgrade, or try to remove 8 and reinstall 7? After reading about the changes to the iTunes library making a revert difficult, I am thinking I watch TV instead of listen to music. On the television... that is...
    Paul

    Replying to own thread because I wanted to share success. Turned power off on HP Laserjet. No reboot needed. Launched iTunes and performed sync with iPod and iPhone. Happy days. Even happier when Apple redoes driver so I can use iTunes without having to power off my printer.
    An honest mistake... I would imagine it would be very difficult to find a beta tester that had that combo of hardware. Imagine... Vista and a HP Laserjet. Oh... I guess we are the beta testers...

  • Blue Screen Of Death when I open iTunes

    I tried updating all my drivers. I tried reinstalling. Please help!!!
    I want to listen to my music once more

    OK, there's a support article you need to read:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502
    I have a Dell XPS and I removed the Logitech QuickCam software, installed a new version, and my problem went away -- after at least 5 solid hours of trying everything on this discussion:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1701063&tstart=0
    See if you can update the logitech quick cam drivers somehow. It wasn't easy, but it you remove the Logitech Quick Cam drivers with the Add/Remove Programs feature, I bet your problem will go away.

  • Iphone deleted all phone numbers when synced with Exchange, Please Help!!

    We recently received new Iphones for the Administrative staff and thought that like other Smartphones we've used in the past that syncing with Exchange would be a breeze. After doing a bit of research everything pointed towards it being a very simple process, this is the process I followed:
    Open up Itunes with Iphone connected
    Click your iPhone in the "Devices" section on the left
    Click the "Info" tab
    In the Contacts section, check "Sync contacts with" and select "Outlook"
    Click "All Contacts"
    Click the "Sync" button in iTunes lower-right corner
    Click "Merge", so that your contacts on your iPhone are preserved
    This seemed to work but there is one major problem, all of the contacts on the Iphone and the ones imported into Outlook no longer have any phone numbers associated to them. The contacts were all synced into Outlook/Exchange no problem with their respective emails but with no phone numbers at all. Unfortunately the computer which had the backup of this Iphone was recently decommissioned so I have no backup of the phone in its previous state.
    Is there any way to recover the old phone numbers/contacts on the phone without having a backup of it in its previous state? I have tried the "Import Sim Contacts" button in the settings on the phone but it doesn't seem to actually do anything. There are over 100 contacts on this particular phone, some of which the phone numbers will be very difficult to retrieve again.
    I have to say that I'm not very impressed that the most popular smartphone out there can't even sync with the largest email platform in the enterprise world properly. If anybody can help me retrieve those numbers some how I would be extremely appreciative.

    Does the Iphone actually support 2-way sync with Outlook properly or will it erase all of the numbers on the phone every time?
    If you are syncing directly with Outlook, there are options in iTunes to determine which set of contacts takes priority when duplicates are found.  Personally I do not use this.  I have my device set up to sync directly with the exchange server so all changes are made directly on the server.
    Personally I would recommend against using Outlook as the intermediary.  You will get much more consistent and reliable results if the iPhone syncs directly with the exchange server and no worries if the end user has not synced the device in days/weeks/months.

  • IPod can't sync with iTunes please help

    I have an iPod, forget what gen but its got a click wheel and was the one right before the iPod photo. Anyway I recently added about 150 songs to my iTunes (ver. 7.2). I plugged in my iPod and I got the error message "The iPod can not be synced. The required file can not be found." I don't know what this means and don't even know where to begin to fix it. (clicked check for updates on my iPod page and it claimed to be up to date ver. 3.1 I believe)
    any help would be appreciated.. thanks
    also just got another error message saying "The ipod could not be synced. the disk could not be read from or written to."

    Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? It may be of some help: "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod

  • Occasional Blue Screen of Death when syncing!

    I have a Lenovo Laptop...T500...sometimes when I sync my iPad it will error out with the BSOD with an "IRQ Not Less than..." error or somthing like that.
    What I noted was that it usually happens if I am transferring purchases one way or the other...like too much data is trying to be pushed through the USB and it cannot handle the back and forth...
    My question is...could this be a settings issue...?
    Obviously it is inconvenient because it requires me to reboot the PC and start over again....sometime it will crash 5 times in a row before it works...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    Could be your security software causing this. Follow the instrucitons here.

  • Blue Screen of Death when Sync Attempted Now

    Just installed the drivers for a newly purched HP AIO wireless printer/scanner Photosmart B209... went to Sync my iPhone this morning and was greated by a lovely BSOD when I attempted to sync... when it rebooted it attempted to SYNC but it moved incredibly slow through the backup operation... otherwise seemed to sync fine.... tried to sync again this PM and BSOD'd again...

    The first response was correct, the computer (xps 1210) used a logitech camera driver that I did not recognize so I deleted it. The software was still active and crashed the computer. Fix was reinstall logitech software and driver. Updating the driver would have probably worked. Thank you!
