Constant disconnect/reconnect and tons of errors.

Ijust got a brand new iphone 4, and just installed newest itunes fresh a couple of days ago.
The computer is running windows xp pro, and was just recently reinstalled about a month ago.
When I plug my iphone into the computer it will start to sync and then stop an give me an error either about "error reading device, iphone not connected," or an error with a hex code, or all of the above and others.
Heres what happens
I plug the phone in, the battery icon changes to a plug, then the lightning bolt, then back to normal, the phone tells me charging is not supported with this accessory, and sync in progress.
Windows pops up the autorun menu and asks me what I want to do with the connected camera, open it in word, or scanners and cameras.
Itunes also opens and starts the sync process, it shows syncing on the iphone.
then after backing up and copying some apps, the iphone goes back to the home screen as if it was unplugged, the sync stops and gives me errors.
I'm getting extremely frustrated with this too. If I leave it plugged in I constantly keep hearing the whistle noise the phone makes when it's plugged in, and windows wont shut up with the usb device plugged in/unplugged sound.
It will just keep disconnecting, trying to sync, failing and doing it all over again until I unplug it.
I've restarted the phone, restarted the computer and it still does this.
Do I have to unplug all of my other usb devices? it totally gets confused if I have a flash drive or another phone (my ROKR E8 or RAZR) plugged into the computer.

Sorry to tell you this but the iPhone is not a storage or backup device! Occasionally it will have problems, an app may be corrupted and cause problems! Because of this you will need to do one of the three (restart, reset, restore). You really need to backup everything on phone somewhere on your computer or a backup drive! Old phones stored contacts on the Sim... the iPhone doesn't... If you rely completely on your iPhone backup you may be sorry because that can get corrupted also!!
Again sorry to tell you this but having an iPhone when you dislike iTunes and refuse to backup (besides iPhone backup) is a bad decision... Not backing up is a bad decision with any smart phone!!! They're no longer plain old phones!!!

  • Constant home wifi disconnect/reconnect with GS3 and GS4

    I've been having terrible trouble with my previous Galaxy S3 and my new Galaxy S4 on my home wifi network.  They CONSTANTLY disconnect and reconnect.  Sometimes it can happen 2 or 3 times in 1 minute, and sometimes it won't happen for 5 or 6 minutes, but then it will happen and it will happen 2 or 3 times in rapid succession.  This is really irritating when I'm viewing a web page and it has to reload EVERY time the disconnect/reconnect happens.
    What can I do to keep my GS4 from doing this?
    I have the Verizon GT704WGB DSL modem/wireless router.
    I have my laptop and my Kindle Fire HD connected via wifi to this router, and they never experience the problem, only my GS3 and GS4.
    Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

        Hi TR_Young,
    We're here to help! Have you tried resetting your router? Do you know if your Wi-Fi router needs to be updated? I understand wanting the phones to stay connected to Wi-Fi. Do the phones having problems have trouble on other Wi-Fi networks? We look forward to hearing from you about these details.

  • Can only connect to enterprise wifi the first time each day, then does not reconnect and got the "Associati​on Failed" error

    To save battery, I leave my wifi off when the TP's screen is locked.  At home, my TP has no problem reconnecting to wifi after the screen is unlocked.  However, at work, which uses enterprise wifi, I can only connect the first time.  If I lock the screen and then unlock it (causing the wifi to turn off and on again) then the TP will not reconnect and I would get the "Association failed" error over and over again.  If I were to turn the TP off and on again, I would still get the same error.  Here's the strange part, if I come in work the next day, it would be able to connect to the wifi.  If I were to leave the wifi on all the time, it would not disconnect even if I lock the screen.  Now if I were to turn off the wifi and then turn it on again, the TP would not reconnect.  So it seems like the TP can only connect the first time each day....very strange...and frustrating.
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    Scimmia is right.  But you AcousticBruce are still very wrong.  You claim there were no error messages.  Yet after much proding and denial you finally provide small portions of error messages which fully identify the problem and can be found in many other posts in these forums.  Yet still, you haven't actually provided full output - instead you paraphrased the output after a couple of "//" symbols.
    If you don't give us the actual output we can't help - except in this case the error is so common we could very easily help.  So could the wiki page on wpa_supplicant if you had read it, as your problem is explictly listed there in a "NOTE" box.  But more importantly if you are reluctant to give us actual output we will not want to help you.
    This issue would have been solved instantly if you would have provided the actual output instead of lying about it.

    Same here. I tried to update my iPhone 5S and iPad 4 to 7.1 but iTunes wiped out them. This thing already happened for iOS 7.0.6 update. What happened to Apple? I am really curious whether Apple is aware of this problem.

    I am trying to download itunes 10.7 and keep getting "error writing to file C\config.msi\6f8a6.rbf"  Can anyone help?

    Are you running Kaspersky security software on that PC? (There's been a few reports in recent times of Kaspersky interfering with iTunes installs, with that message being produced.)
    If there is Kaspersky on board, we should try some general-principles getting-past-security-software-interference troubleshooting.
    Download and save a fresh copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (32-bit installer file) or iTunes64Setup.exe to your Hard drive. (Don't run the install on line, and don't start the install just yet.)
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Restart the PC. After the PC restarts do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
    Now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) file you downloaded earlier.
    Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
    Any better luck with the security software shut down?

  • New Homehub - Lots and lots of errors?

     Hi,
    I recently upgraded to the black homehub 2.0 (version A even though I asked for a version B) from my old white version 1.5. Plugged it in, everything went smoothly. The download data is half what it was before, but Im guessing it'll settle out in a few days or after a few power cycles as the broadband is a bit unstable at the moment (off and on.. off and on..)!
    The weird thing is, is that Im getting a ton of Errors apparently, I dont know if its normal so I thought I'd post here and find out!

    Is this normal, or has something gone wrong?
    Regards,

    Dont worry, I repasted all the hub details but forgot to update the previous paragraph . Speed has returned to normal now at around 2200. Its already in the master socket, so I'll just plug it into the test one.

    I also have a ADSL plate on my master socket (it has a microfilter built in) so to test the test socket of course I plugged in an external microfilter.
    What does these results say, the internet has been dodgy all day.. not staying up for ages (but reconnecting quite quickly).
    Thanks,

  • Windows 7 keeps freezing, disconnecting/reconnecting USB devices

    Last week, a lightning strike near where I live caused a power surge and as a result, my ethernet card was fried.  I took my computer (iMac) to a store to have it repaired, and they wound up replacing the entire motherboard (a bit extreme in my opinion, but what do I know).
    When I got it back today, sure the ethernet problem was solved, but I noticed that my taskbar was acting weird - specifically the icons in the notification tray.  Lots of them were "blank", meaning there were just empty spaces that would highlight when I hovered the cursor over them, but nothing happened when I clicked them.
    Then I discovered that clicking any of the icons in the notification tray almost immediately froze the computer.  Frozen, as in completely unresponsive to the point where my only option was to manually shut off the computer.  That happened twice.
    My solution was to reboot in safe mode and run system restore to an earlier point.  That fixed the notification tray problem (no more freezing, and the icons were all back), but the computer still keeps freezing at random intervals.  Again, my only solution is to manually shut it off by holding down the power button, which I hate doing because I know it's bad for the hard drive.  Sometimes it froze as soon as the welcome screen.  I tried running a virus scan, but again it froze in the middle of the process.
    On top of the constant freezing, it keeps disconnecting/reconnecting my usb devices.  My mouse and keyboard will suddenly drop out for five seconds and then start working again.  This constantly happens, to the tune of several "disconnect" sounds playing over the speakers.
    What the heck is going on?  I tried re-installing the Boot Camp drivers, but that didn't work.  I have my Windows 7 CD and backed up files, so if worse comes to worst I can do a clean install of Windows, but I'd rather not have to spend a day re-building my computer, and I'd REALLY rather not take it back in for another repair, since that took a week and I need this for my work.
    Any ideas on what I should do?  I'm out of town on my laptop for the weekend, and I'd like to have a game plan for when I get back.

    I'm very excited to finally have a solution for this problem. Thank You Balaji for figuring this out. I've been struggling with this for a number of years, and had only one USB Hard Drive that worked. I too have VMware workstation, and had the missing files
    in "c:\windows\inf." I can say with certainty that I did not delete the files from that folder, but something is common in both of our situations. Maybe it has to do with VMware, and some of it's updates over the years. I'm also using nCompute to share out
    a networked desktop via the wire. 
    One more thing worthy of mention is this machine was an update from Windows Vista, and the USB hard drive that worked was configured back than. So although I could never add another HD, at least I had the one.
    Now with having copied over the files, I can plugin other USB enclosures with different drives and they too are working.
    Like you mentioned, it was always possible to use USB devices within my Virtual Machines, so it was clear that the USB ports were functional. I actually got the files from a clean Windows 7 VM, copying out the \windows\inf folder and doing a compare between
    the the real one and the virtual one. I found the two missing files you mentioned, along with 8 others. I went ahead and included them all in your fix.
    It worked, Amazing. Thanks again. :O)
