Ejecting iphone causes Windows Explorer to crash

Hi Guys
After I've synced my iphone in itunes when I eject or remove the iphone from the dock Windows Explorer always "crashes", well it restarts and windows says there has been a problem.
I've got the latest updates for both iphone and itunes. i had the same problem with vista as well (I know I know!).
Any ideas about how to prevent it? Its not terminal just a bit of a pain.
Thanks in advance

I don't think that this is an iPhone issue. My wife uses Vista and a 3GS and doesn't have the same problem so my guess is that it's a PC config issue.
Have you tried posting on a PC forum?

Starting Firefox in Private mode from the pinned ico in taskbar causes Windows Explorer to crash.

Starting Firefox in Private mode from the pinned icon in taskbar (right click, choose "New Private Window") causes Windows Explorer to crash almost everytime, but not always. Very odd.
Didn´t happen with previous versions of Firefox.
Firefox 22.0, Win 7 Ultimate with all updates applied.

Hello Paul,
That's a very odd behavior indeed. All I can think of is that an add-on is confused and makes Firefox crash. The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Thank you.

IPhone causes Windows XP to crash when connected

Connecting the usb adapter from the PC to the iPhone causes a blue screen of death (BSOD).
Originally, I connected the iPhone to my Dell XPS m1210 and iTunes 7.3 to activate. Activation was seamless. It immediately recognized the iPhone and didn't cause any problems.
After activation, I disconnected the iPhone. When I reconnected it (literally plugged in the cable), my Dell started to recognize the device. Then it went directly to a BSOD. The BSOD doesn't contain the name of any file. Microsoft error reporting says the file is corrupted, so it can't analyze the problem. The problem happens again and again.
Since then, I have restarted my computer a few times, reinstalled iTunes twice, updated my usb drivers, all without any success.
Has anyone else experienced the problem? Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
Dell XPS M1210 Windows XP

The BSOD reports:
Stop: 0x0000007E (and stuff here)
Let's try getting a minidump to the Apple Engineers for a look.
To set up your machine to capture a minidump, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties", select the "Advanced" tab, select the "Startup and Recovery" Settings button, select "small memory dump" from the popup. When it crashes, look for the MiniDump file. It's usually in the folder "C:\WINDOWS\Minidump" and is called something like Mini<number>-<number>.dmp.
Generate the crash, collect the minidump, and send it as an attachment to this email address
in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)

Iphone causes windows XP to crash

Whenever I plug my Iphone into the USB, I get an instant reboot.
Itunes 9.0.2.25
Windows XP pro SP3
If I uninstall Itunes, the phone is recognized by Windows and no crashes occur. With Itunes installed, as soon as I plug in my Iphone...the computer reboots.
This is a fresh xp install, all drivers are up to date.
I ran the diagnostics on Itunes, and of course..I can't plug in my Iphone to check connectivity. As soon as I do, it causes a reboot.
Ran Apple Software update and nothing else is available for download.

Any photos in your camera roll on the phone? More importantly, any that were emailed to you or downloaded through safari? If so, try deleting them.
Also, read through this article to verify that the iphone driver/service are installed properly:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495
Also, I don't use windows, so don't know exactly what image capture program is used in XP, but try making sure that whatever program that is is set to do nothing when a camera is attached.

IPhone causes Windows XP to crash when connected: This is the solution...

I've the solution to the problem....!!!
This message is in response to a problem reported originally by swinglinestapler on jul 2, 2007.
Like others before me have said, there is a conflict between logitech camera drivers and the iphone (when there are photos in the camera roll).
To solve the problem you MUST:
1.- Unistall the logitech camera from your system (using the uninstall option from logitech appl); restart your system.
2.- Connect your iphone (make sure you have some photos in the camera roll)
3.- Wait until the system recognize the camera on the iphone.
4.- Go to device manager and update the driver for the iphone camera; if you open "my computer" it will show a camera icon with the name "Apple iphone #5"
5.- DO NOT UNPLUG the iphone from your computer
6.- Re-install the logitech camera; it's better if you go to the logitech website and download the latest software, rather then using the one that came with your camera.
You're DONE!
Now you can unplug your iphone, take as many pictures as you want and your system will not crash when you plug the iphone again to it.

Re: iPhone causes Windows XP to crash when connected

I too am having this issue, but do not have a logitech web cam installed.
Vista Ultimate and XP both die if I dock the iphone with pictures in it.

docnzok,
This issue can occur because of a conflict with other devices drivers. Even if those devices are not currently installed. While the Logitech Webcam is one many users have reported, it and others are discussed in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306048
Even if you don't currently have a device attached, it may have drivers left behind.
Do you have a media card reader, for example to read the memory cards from a digital camera? Do you have a scanner attached?
If you remove the pictures you have taken on the iPhone, for example after emailing them to yourself, does the same issue occur?
Thank you,
Nathan C.

Emzdecmp4_h263.dll causes windows explorer crash

When browsing folders with video files in windows explorer, a crash occurs.
Faulting application explorer.exe, version 6.0.2900.3156, faulting module emzdecmp4_h263.dll, version 2.6.1.0, fault address 0x00002827.
If I unregister this file, the problems stops.
IE: regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Nokia\Codecs\EmzDecMP4_H263.dll"
Windows XP Pro SP2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.090206-1233)
PC Suite v7.1.28.1

Thanks a ton! This worked like a charm.
Although, there is no assurance that the other codecs in the same folder (C:\Program Files\Common\Nokia\Common) won't create a problem. Here's a listing of the other files.
ArcAPPDMO.dll
EmzAACDecFilter.dll
EmzAACEnc.dll
EmzAMRNBDec.dll
EmzAMRNBEnc.DLL
EmzAMRWBEnc.DLL
EmzDecMP4_H263.dll
EmzH263Enc.dll
EmzMP3EncDMO.DLL
EmzMP3SourceFilter.dll
EmzMp4Source.dll
EmzMP4VideoEnc.DLL
EzdAMRWBDec.dll
EzdH264DecTFilter.dll
EzdH264Enc.dll
EzdMP4MuxFilter.dll
Image_Dec.dll
image_proc.dll
Keeping fingers crossed!

Ipod causes windows explorer to restart

everytime i plug in my ipod through USB and use windows explorer eg my computer/ my documents it causes windows explorer to restart everytime i open it. does any one else have this problem solved. thank you

The same thing happens to me when I plug in my Iphone 3G. I am running Windows 7

Windows Explorer keeps crashing under Win 7 with RH7 and Source Control installed

This is an "informational" thread in case someone experiences the same problems. We installed RH7 on Windows 7 32-bit and accidentally, Robo Source Control was installed, too, although we do not use it. The latter loads three extensions into the shell that caused the Windows Explorer to crash on a regular basis ("Windows Explorer has stopped working"). After deinstallation of Robo Source, the problem seems to be resolved.

I would like to tell you that this problem is an issue with RH8, as well.

Is it a Powerbook or a Macbook Pro?
A Powerbook is not capable of running a version of iTunes that will work with an iPhone 5 (which I'm assuming you have, since it's the only iPhone that runs iOS 6.1.4, which you indicate you have).

Trying to import photos from iPhone 5, windows explorer present many icons of local disks which cannot be deleted

Trying to import photos from iPhone 5, windows explorer present many icons of local disks which cannot be deleted
for some reason there are many folders in the iPhone for pictures

I have been having the same issues with my devices (iphone4s & Ipad and Ipad mini) NOT importing photos to my PC via windows 7. Too be honest, i am sick and tired of looking for a fix. I have spent days on this and now realise via forums that this issue is widespread. (deja vu - remember notes vanishing?)
I have tripled checked everything but the platform just simply does not work.
So, i will get offered various 'hunches' as to how to fix this...but hold on..after paying over £1,000 for the equipment why should i have to go find a fix...basically ...yet again...Apple products not delivering what they promise and are flawed. Gather im pretty p**sed about this...you betya...will i buy Apple again...?? take a guess.

YOu dont. Photos sync via iTunes.

Windows Explorer was crashing/restarting every few seconds and after trying several different methods of fixes, the only one that worked was removing Firefox, is there something I've missed that I can get Firefox back?

I'm running a Toshiba Satellite laptop that was originally running Windows Vista 32-bit, but was upgraded by me to Windows 7 32-bit. On Windows Vista, all I would run was Firefox. I loved it!!! On Windows 7, I've noticed that Firefox kept hanging whenever I would try to download a file...from anywhere. I got so frustrated I went to try several different browsers. They all worked extremely quickly, whereas Firefox was working so slow, I could click on a link to a page, go get some lunch, come back and it still be trying to load the page. This was drastically unusual for Firefox. I used the other browsers and everything was fine for a week and then Windows Explorer started going down every few seconds. I went to the windows 7 forums and started looking. There were several suggestions on how to fix the problem, none of which worked for my compy. I tried restarting the compy in safe mode. That didn't help. I turned off every startup program except for the essentials and that DID work in keeping Windows Explorer from restarting. I then dove into the tedious task of trying to discern which 3rd party program was the offender. I removed everything from my compy that had been downloaded in the last ten days (well before the windows explorer issue, but not before the firefox issue). That didn't work either. I tried replacing an explorer file, which didn't work either. There were several other things I tried, as well, but nothing worked. Then, I saw a post that Firefox had caused the problem for one person. I went in and did as was suggested and completely removed Firefox and all associated files. Unfortunately, this worked. I haven't had any more trouble with windows explorer restarting. My big problem is, however, I can't run Firefox!!! And I LOVE Firefox!!! It's spoiled me! I hate Internet explorer, which is what I'm forced to run now. I've tried Safari and Google Chrome and don't like either one of those, either. I want my Firefox back! But if it's not working 100% it's less frustrating to be forced to live with the Internet Explorer. I'm going insane, here! Does anyone have any suggestions? I tried clearing out browser history, changing download files and a couple of other things and nothing worked with the Firefox to get it going better before I started having the Windows Explorer difficulty and had to completely erase the Firefox program. If I've missed any info, please don't hesitate to ask!! I'm happy to supply whatever I know about the issue!!

uninstalled firefox ....deleted all files still remaining under mozilla firefox directory in program files ... to avoid having to reprogram all my settings, reisntall all addons as well .. I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....
so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

IWeb photo galleries cause Internet Explorer to crash

Please help! I am a novice as far as web design goes and have spent a long time getting my site up and going. It works perfectly on Firefox, Chrome, Safari etc but when using Internet explorer the photo galleries cause the browser to crash/freeze.
If you leave it for approximately 5 minutes sometimes it starts working again.

Any help would be very much appreciated.
