IPhone 4 crashes a Windows XP computer when attached

A friend of mine is using an iPhone 4. I have to support him with OS-upgrades and moving data (music, pictures) to & from his phone, because when he attaches his iPhone to his PC, the PC crashes: shuts down within a second.
Equipment used: iPhone 4, iOS 4.3.3
PC: C2D, 4GB RAM, Windows XP, iTunes (did not note the version)
The PC normally serves seceral USB connections, like external HD and printer.
iTunes runs normally.
Then you attach the iPhone via USB.
The iPhone appears in the sidebar of iTunes, there is a chime, and then, within a fraction of a second, the PC shuts down.
It shuts down very fast, completely, so next you have to switch it on with he power switch.
Has anything like this happened to anyone? Any ideas, suggestions?
Many thanks!

Use the Windows File Transfer Utility to move everything.

Adobe acrobat pro 9.2 crashes in windows xp sp3 when closing a pdf

Adobe acrobat pro 9.2 crashes in windows xp sp3 when I close a pdf. This means that if I have multiple files open, all of them close. I get an error message from windows that the problem is due to windows' Data Execution Prevention (DEP). I tried making Adobe an exception to windows' DEP and re-started the computer but this did not help the problem. Any ideas about how to fix this problem?

So.. If we want to control the "hardware graphics acceleration", should it be done inside the Adobe Acrobat Pro ?
If yes, which part of option should we changed ?
If not, can someone tell me which way to setting this one ?
Do anybody have other input ? This problem makes me crazy
Thank you so much in advanced.

Program Crashes on Windows 2000 Computer

This post is a little long, but I tried to provide as much information as possible.
Due to increased production volumes we added an additional test station. We have been having problems with a LabVIEW program crashing when I run the program on new test station I just installed. The program works fine on the older station but doesn’t on the new test station. The main difference I see is that the new station runs on Windows 2000 professional and the old station runs on Windows NT 4.0. The other difference is that new computer is faster. The program usually crashes after testing 12 devices (4 devices are tested simultaneously), so after the 3rd time through the test routine the program crashes. We can reload the program and test another 12 devices until the computer crashes again. It appears like program is crashing in the “Write 1 point to digital line.vi” because one of the digital lines is stuck high after it crashes. I have attached the library “Press Key.llb” for reference. The main vi is named “Press Key.vi” which controls the action/duration of digital lines for each test ( 0 through 32).
Hardware/Software overview:
The Test Station consists of Pentium IV computer with four (4) National Instruments PCI MIO16E-1 DAQ cards and 1 PCI – GPIB card that communicates to a power supply.
The program is “written” in LabVIEW version 6.0. The program is built into an executable and runs with LabVIEW runtime engine. The program is rather large (2.5 MB)
The program uses the 4 DAQ boards to simultaneous acquire data from four devices under test. Two of the DAQ boards are also used to control relays that activate air cylinders. The air cylinder presses on specific keys on the devices under test. Once the devices are set, the 4 DAQ boards each take the another set of measurements. This process is repeated (Approximately 30 times) until the devices are complete.
Note: The program typically uses 184 MB of Ram
Computer 1: Old Station (In use for 2-3 years) Working fine
Computer Pentium IV computer
Processor Pentium IV 1 Ghz
RAM 256 MB
Operating System Windows NT version 4.0
NI DAQ Version 6.6
Computer 2: New Station Problems crashing
Computer Pentium IV computer
Processor Pentium IV 3.00 Ghz
RAM 256 MB
Operating System Windows 200 Professional
NI DAQ Version 7.2
Any Help would be appreciated!
Thanks Jayme

Regarding the releasing of memory. Yes the "problem" computer memory starts at 184 MB and climbs to 197 MB right before it crashes. The "good" computer memory starts at 184 MB and stays there. They are both running the same exe file only different OS.
Yes I do use a DLL called LVDAQ.DLL. I this DLL is probably being called when the software crashes
When I generate the exe using LabVIEW application builder (on a Windows NT station) the lvdaq.DLL is created automatically. Is there a setting to define which library is created? or can I get this file from NI?

HT201302 How to transfer a photo folder from iPhone 5 to Windows XP computer?

Hi,
I created a folder on my iPhone, and now would like to transfer this folder to my Windows XP computer. Is there an easy way to do this?
Thank you for reading.
Stefan

When you are trying to import photos from your iPhone to the computer, it will only import photos from the Camera Roll.
If you created an album on the iPhone, this album won't sync over (the photos may be from the Camera Roll and those pictures will transfer over, but it won't be in the albums you created).
Also if you synced a photo folder to the iPhone from a computer, this will not sync over back to a computer.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 :
You can import only photo and video content taken with the built-in camera or captured on the device. You cannot import photo or video content synced from iTunes.

Itunes crashing with windows 8.1 when connecting iphone

Why can't Apple TV's and iOS devices see home sharing on my Windows 7 computer when iTunes libraries on other computers on the same network and connected to the same Home Sharing can?

I have never previously had any problems with Home Sharing, I have always found it to be completely reliable as advertised. I have 2 computers in the house, (one MacBook and one Windows Desktop) connected to the same Home Sharing account, connected to the same BT Home Hub 4. My situation is that I have nearly 2TB of data of which I would like to share with the home wirelessly, in my mind the desktop is the logical place for this to be shared from.
When running, iTunes on this desktop broadcasts to other iTunes libraries, but no other iOS devices or Apple TV's connected to the same Home Sharing account cannot see it.
I have tried turning Home Sharing off, and then turning it back on, closing iTunes, restarting the computer, going to Network and Sharing Centre and unticking IPv6 in the network adapter properties, even completely wiping the computer and reinstalling Windows 7.
One of the Apple TV's in the house was recently purchased by my parents with the promise from me that everything would work seamlessly... so far it isn't and I am frustrated that the Apple technology that I have come to rely on isn't working as expected.
One thing that has occurred to me upon writing this is that it is a very large amount of data, and I have not attempted to share this with another computer that is currently working and broadcasting it's Home Share fine.
I am sorry if I have ommitted any important details, any further questions don't hesitate to ask. I would be so grateful of any suggestions, my parents are depending on me.

I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem. The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6. (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

Safari 5 Crashing on Windows 7 x64 when typing in address bar.

As stated in the subject, the problem I have with Safari 5 is when I try to type in the address bar. Safari simply crashes with this log:

What seems strange is that everything else works fine. I can check my rss feeds and I can even type into the google search bar and pull up the website I need. I just can't use the address bar. I'm thinking this might have to do with the new features in Safari 5 but I don't know enough to pin it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This seems to be an issue for other users as well.
Edit: I Have "Reset Safari" and it seems to be working for now. I'll give it a while and see what happens. I thought it was strange that I should have to do this but I read it on another post. It seems to be working so far. Perhaps there is something else though that is crashing it? I'll leave this open until I get a response.

I had this exact problem on Windows XP. As soon as I tried typing in the address bar, crash. Every single time. I also reset everything and it stopped the constant crashes related to the address bar. It still seems much less stable than Safari 4, as I cannot got more than a couple hours without a random crash still occurring.
I have reset Safari again and went a step further and uninstalled it, uninstalled all Apple software, deleted all Apple data from Documents and Setting (All users and my user), reinstalled Safari (and iTunes, mobileme control pane, etc)...still crashing frequently, usually at least once an hour but never less than once every couple hours.

Itunes crash in windows XP pro when syncing or updating to OS4.3.2

The download seems to start over again after a crash, so getting no-where with downloading the update.
Whether i De-authorise and re-authorise this computer to do the ipod update. (it warns that apps will be removed from ipod)
The primary hard drive "C:" is almost full, and i have the ipod files set to save to the "D:" drive ( a 500G drive) rather than
I think the working directory is still using the "C:" drive but i don't know how to redirect it.
Perhaps this is causing the crashing?
Or something else? any suggestions welcome.

Follow the directions here. But the problem is that the I-tunes installer calls for the wrong file name so… if you rename the file named “AppleMobileDevice64.msi” to “AppleMobileDevice.msi” it should install. When it says “iPod service failed to start…” run this patch then click “retry” it’ll work fine. Merry Christmas from Lokie!
P.S. Please repost the patch thanks

IPhone cannot play music on computer when docked with iTunes

Hey all,
This is really troubling. I cannot play music on my iPhone through my computer in Windows via my iTunes.
My home iTunes computer is MacOSX on the same computer. All of my work programs are in Windows Bootcamp. So in Windows mode, the songs appear to be gray, and cannot be clicked on (in iTunes and only on the iPhone). They are certainly locked. If I click on 'Manage Music Manually', a popup shows up asking me if I want to erase the iPhone and sync with the Windows itunes, which would be grim as all my music, videos, and everything is in MacOSX.
I have been to the MacStore about this and they couldnt figure this out either. They think it might be a faulty phone.
Has anyone heard of this and might know of a fix?
Bill

The iPhone won't play music through a computer's iTunes.
You can use this cord http://store.apple.com/us/product/TN778LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOQ&mco=MjE1NTkyMQ to connect the headset jack to the computer's audio-in port.

Flash crashing my Windows 7 computer?

So a while back i started crashing randomly so i googled it and found nothing and it eventually stopped but recently it started again but more frequently. At first i thought it was Steam because when i opened it my computer would crash but when i uninstalled it i would still crash then i noticed it was only when i was watching youtube / was on a flash game so i did some researching and found out that others were having this issue is 2010/2013 and seeming to have the same crashing problems. Is there any was to fix this? Freezing computer(can still move mouse), Blue screen, auto restart, says Operating system is not found, have to restart again.

So you're saying my monitor is causing the crashes? That doesn't make sense since I lose computer response as well.. Also I watch other stuff like Twitch.tv w/ no problems, it's only when I watch videos from Youtube.
Nope. I said when I saw that, it was caused by a bad monitor. It's caused by "video hardware", which could be all sorts of things. Those repetitive lines are caused by something electrical, sort of like a sine wave on an oscilloscope. Software doesn't cause a monitor, (CRT, LED or LCD) to do that. What you're seeing is cycles of output caused by whatever component malfucntions when this happens. It could be a connector, the GPU, or any of who knows how many different things on the MoBo or throughout the system. Something in YouTube videos, and probably other sites as well, is pushing something too far or accessing something bad hardwarewise, that fails and causes this.
