IPhone 3G freezes iTunes

Hello all..
I'm having a problem w/ my iPhone 3G, and I'm hoping to get some guidance on what I should do next.
I am on my 4th iPhone 3G (long story) and so far it has worked just fine. I took it off the charger this morning, plugged it into my Macbook (specs below) and iTunes froze up w/ the spinning wheel.
The iPhone just sat at it's idle screen, not syncing or anything. I unplugged the iPhone, plugged it into my fiance's Macbook and it came up fine.
I tried another port on my computer, and it is still freezing iTunes. What can I do?
Thanks, in advance...
JG

All I can suggest is take the Macbook and iphone in to the Apple store or Reseller and reproduce the trouble in front of them and see what they can do.

  • IPhone 4 freezing itunes upon connection

    After connecting my iphone to my computer iTunes froze. It will start responding a few minutes later but without the iphone recognized. I havent had this problem before. So far ive restarted the phone and computer. Ive reinstalled everything to do with iTunes. Ive switched to other USB ports. Ive tried deleting apps that I installed since the last time I connected the phone to my computer but no luck.

    I get this message sometimes "iTunes could not connect this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE800006B)."

  • IPhone 4 freezes and will not restart or restore using iTunes.

    iPhone 4 freezes and will not restart and cannot be restored using iTunes (unknown error 1602). My daughter's iPhone 4 did the same thing 10 days ago. Is this a software glitch? I replaced her phone, but I'm ready to switch to Android.

    I am using Sophos Antivirus, but after disabling, still no luck. Tried the other USB port; no luck (same 1602 error). I'll take it to the Apple store tomorrow, but if they recommend replacing the phone I'm switching.
    I went through this ~15 years ago when the Apple OS got so buggy and unstable that I had to abandon PowerBooks and switch to Windows. Oddly enough, this was after Jobs left the first time. I hope history isn't repeating itself.
    Thank you for the suggestions.

    Check for hardware issues
    Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
    These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
    Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • Plugged iPhone 5 in for the first time and it freezes iTunes.  Everything up-to-date.  Any ideas?

    I've connected the new iPhone 5 numerous times.  After restarting both devices.  Updating everything.  I even connected the old iPhone 4 and it works fine.  My computer recognizes the iPhone 5 every time it is connected.  iTunes will freeze right away most of the time when the iPhone 5 is connected, however sometimes I can get to the point to where I can sync the phone.  The sync will proceed for a while, however it either freeze iTunes or show a fail message.  Anyone have any thoughts about or heard of this issue?

    This was the first time I had connected it to itunes as I put it on to charge while using my laptop and as I have an itunes account already it came up for me to register my phone so I clicked yes but not as a new iphone and it wiped off my photos etc....how can this happen when it didn't ask any questions other than register your iphone?

  • 2 separate iphones, 2 separate itunes, 2 separate login accounts on 1 computer

    My wife and I have 2 different iPhones, 2 different iTunes accounts, and 2 different logins on our main computer. I will log out of my iTunes account after syncing my phone to my account and login and login into her separate login and iTunes account to sync her phone. The problem is that her phone will get only through the second step and then iTunes freezes. The only successful way we have been able to sync our phones is by restarting the computer. Is there a fix to solving this issue?

    Do you mean you want to have his own itunes library and own itunes store account, but share the same itunes content?
    If so, choose method 1 from this article. I think it's what roaminggnome meant to post.

  • How can I stop my iPhone from freezing?

    My friends iPhone keeps freezing, is there a way of preventing this form happening?

    If a reset doesn't help, try these steps as needed, as described in the User Guide, Appendix B:
    1. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    2. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
    3. Restore phone in iTunes as new, without using a backup.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware problem in the phone.

  • Iphone keeps freezing when I am going to end a call.

    My Iphone sometimes freezes when I make phone calls on it. This only happens at the end of the phone call but it is really frustrating because I cannot hang up the call. I called my service provider and they told me it was because of the clear screen protecter I put on my phone. Could this be possible or are they just making this up to get me to quit complaining?

    Hello Jennings Castle,
    It seems your iPhone is slowing down and not responding frequently. To rectify this issue you may want to consider performing a restore on the device, and then restoring your data from a backup via iCloud or iTunes. 
    If the issue persists after restoring your backup, you would then want to consider restoring the device and setting it up as new. Below I have linked to article which offers guidance on both of these restore methods:

  • Error 1015 when trying to restore old iPhone on Mac iTunes

    Hello,
    Recently my mom's iPhone was freezing up. She says she tried to restore it by following some sleazy directions on the internet using her PC. The phone keeps acting up, so we connect it to my MacBook Pro, which we've never connected it to before. We run an update and click restore.
    We get a dialog box that says 'Error 1015' and now her phone permanently has a picture of a USB cord with an arrow pointing up towards the iTunes logo.
    I have been at this for two hours. I have been on every forum, downloaded every program, hit every wall from expired download links to programs that only work for PC.
    I am running Mac OS X 10.7.4
    I don't even know what generation this iPhone is. It seems ancient. I would go so far as to say this is probably one of the first iPhones released.
    If anyone could help me out whatsoever it would be extremely appreciated. Thank you.

    It sounds like your mom ended up jailbreaking her phone.  That's what an error 1015 means.
    There is no help to be had here. Sorry.
    Discussing jailbroken phones is forbidden by the terms of service.
    You'll need to look elsewhere for assistance or buy a new phone.

  • IPhone 4S freezing

    Hello, my iPhone 4S freezes everytime I watch a video and even sometimes when I look at pictures... I've tried everything I could think of and have read... Reboots don't work at all, at least I don't think so... The reboot will restart the phone but will have the same problem if I try a video again.... Please help!

    You might need to try a backup and restore through itunes to clear the problem once and for all...

  • HT1386 iPod Freezes iTunes

    I'm trying to sync my iPod Classic, but it keeps freezing iTunes.
    I've tried restoring it to factory settings. I've tried turning off anti virus & firewall. No joy. There are lots of other devices in my household, which use the same PC and all work fine...iPod shuffle/Nano/iPhone/Touch.
    So I assume the problem must be with my iPod. If restoring it to factory settings didn't work, do I assume it it dead??

    ya i ha the same problem.What u can do is that un-install itunes and then reinstall it again.This vastly helps.also restart ur system once u uninstall itunes.It should/must solve it.
    This happens coz of one small coprrupted fime.song etc in itunes library.if still such happens try installing the itunes in a diff drive(d/e/f etc)
